"Um……"
Shen Zhixi couldn't help but groan, turned over and continued to sleep.
Because I was too sleepy, I thought I was dreaming. I didn't hold my eyes open for long after being woken up, and quickly closed them again.
"White Lily of the Valley, don't sleep."
Tang Zhou blew into her ear and woke her up again.
"Husband?" Feeling Tang Zhou's weight on her body, she suddenly realized that it was not a dream.
But right now, she was really sleepy and couldn't cheer up.
"I want to sleep." She closed her eyes and refused to move.
"I want to sleep now." Tang Zhou sniffed the fragrance in her hair and pulled her belt down with his palms. "Didn't you pester me in the mountains that you should work harder for your husband? Since the lady has said that, you should do your best for your husband." It should satisfy you.”
While he was talking, his belt had been pulled open by him.
Shen Zhixi laughed out loud, not knowing whether it was because of the itchy touch or something. She grabbed Tang Zhou's hand and said, "But husband, I am really sleepy now. I am so sleepy that I have no energy left."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's me who exerts the force, not you."
Tang Zhou easily broke away from her hand and pulled her clothes open.
"ah!"
Shen Zhixi covered his mouth and screamed, lying on his back tightly and not daring to move.
She was the one teasing him before, but now that the moment has come, she is holding back.
"Why, you want to serve your husband from behind..."
"Don't say it." Shen Zhixi covered his ears in shame.
"Okay, don't tell me." Tang Zhou lifted the hair from her neck and leaned next to her ear, "As a husband, you just do it and don't tell it."
"no……"
Tang Zhou ignored her refusal and already held it in his palm.
……
It was a night with a bright moon in the sky, but I don't know when it got up. The moon quietly hid in the clouds and didn't come out for a long time, like a shy woman covering her veil and not daring to poke her head.
Perhaps, he was also embarrassed by the tone of crying in the room.
Shen Zhixi really wondered where Tang Zhou got the energy to carry her into the mountains for so long that night. Then he hunted hard, dragged the prey out of the mountains, drove a carriage, and dealt with so many things after he came back. She felt tired just looking at Fenlu for a long time. It was already late at night, but he still had so much energy.
If we continue to toss, it will be dawn.
Although tired, Shen Zhixi was also very satisfied.
After all, if Tang Zhou works harder, her child will come sooner.
*
the next day.
Tang Zhou said that he would go to the city with them. He was afraid that Shen Zhixi and the others would be tricked if they did not understand the art of selling hunting meat.
Shen Zhixi lingered in the room for a long time, combing his hair for a long time.
"Did you not sleep well?" Tang Zhou went behind her and leaned over to hug her.
Shen Zhixi put down the comb and held Tang Zhou's hand, "Husband, I think it's better for you not to go to the city."
"Are you afraid of meeting that aunt of yours? Don't worry, she can't touch you as long as I'm here."
Tang Zhou made a promise, but that was not what Shen Zhixi was afraid of at all.
"I'm afraid of you... Why were you seriously injured and fainted by the river in the first place? Were you being chased?"
Tang Zhou did not deny it and nodded yes.
"Yes, it would be fine to say that you are more ordinary-looking, but you are so stunningly beautiful, you must be extremely eye-catching. What if...what?" She said sincerely, wanting Tang Zhou to Give up the idea.
However, Tang Zhou had already thought of a countermeasure.
"I know you are worried about me, but don't I worry about you? If you leave for a long time, I will worry about something happening to you. Don't worry, my problem can be solved by just wearing a mask, don't be afraid .”
Shen Zhixi curled his lips, and he was right, as long as he wore a mask so that no one could see his face.
But what about her?
With her status as the richest man in Yanzhou, there are probably even fewer people who don't know her.
Unless, she also puts on a mask and goes out.
But after all, this is not a question of wearing a mask or not. She just doesn't want Tang Zhou to go into the city with her. She is just afraid of what might happen. If something goes wrong and he discovers her identity, then what she did during this time All in vain?
"Besides, it's not appropriate for your sister to take such a heavy deer out alone. After that, there is still the matter of finding a buyer, which is a bit complicated and troublesome. Now that we are married, your sister is my sister, and the family always You can’t let your sister take the lead in everything.”
What he said was absolutely right, and Shen Zhixi couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"But don't be in a hurry. Take your time. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any suitable items for transporting Fenlu."
"All right."
Shen Zhixi watched Tang Zhou go away through the mirror, then touched the door and went down the steps.
She was lying on the dressing table, her brows furrowed tightly.
For a while, he could only pretend to be sick to deceive Tang Zhou so that he would no longer insist on going out, but always pretending to be sick was not an option. She lay on the dressing table, stroking her belly with one hand, praying that the child would come soon so that she could return to her normal life as soon as possible.
In the kitchen.
Vanilla was walking towards the cupboard. There was a large woven basket on top of the cupboard, which should be used to hold venison.
But the cupboard was too high, and it was difficult for her to reach the top even if she stood on tiptoe.
One of the legs under the cabinet is broken, and a stone is needed to make it level with the other three legs. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to find that there are cracks in the stone. If you press it a little harder, it will explode.
Xianghua was anxious to get the big bamboo basket on the top but didn't ask Tang Zhou for help. She could only grab the cabinet and push herself up with all her strength. She only heard a "bang" sound, but she didn't realize it yet. Wherever the sound came from, the cabinet had already tipped over towards her.
"ah!"
She screamed and pressed against the cabinet with both hands.
The bowl in the cabinet fell over and shattered because of the tilt. She was frightened, and her hand failed to support the cabinet. When it was about to fall, a hand came out from behind to hold it up for her.
"Tang...sister, brother-in-law."
Vanilla's current identity on the surface is Shen Zhixi's younger sister, so of course she should be called Brother-in-law Tang Zhou.
"Back off."
"Okay, okay." Vanilla was still frightened and stepped aside obediently.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Zhou used his hands to help straighten the cabinet, but unexpectedly when he took a step forward, he accidentally stepped on a bowl that was upside down on the ground. He couldn't stop his foot from slipping without paying attention.
"Brother-in-law!"
Along with Vanilla's shout, there was also the sound of the cabinet hitting Tang Zhou's head.
Vanilla was so frightened that she covered her mouth and didn't dare to express her anger.
Fortunately, Tang Zhou reacted in time. Although his head was hit, he reacted quickly and immediately stood firm and pushed the cabinet back.
Vanilla quickly came to her senses, found a brick from the stove and put it under the foot of the cabinet where the leg was broken.
The cabinet was secure, but Tang Zhou didn't look good.
He frowned and shook his head as if in pain.
"Sister...brother-in-law, are you okay?"
"Brother-in-law?"
Tang Zhou slowly raised his head, his face remained the same but seemed to be different, especially his eyes, which were like a pool of water deep in the mountains that often had no waves, suddenly bursting with huge waves, and seemed to come to life.
He looked at Vanilla, no longer as confused and blind as before.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Vanilla was confused, but she also noticed his changes.
"You...can your eyes see?"
