Lu Cheng didn't sleep all night, lying on the kang, looking at the dark roof, whether she opened her eyes or closed her mind.

She smiled gently, she dodged with caution, she cried and struggled, she gave him shyly.

Every scene was her, and many things he didn't understand before were explained now.

When she first met, she had to guard against Pei Jinghan in the Marquis' Mansion. When she went home, she had to guard against him.

He pestered her and chased her, and she was worried about being discovered by Pei Jinghan again.

Why didn't he tell him a word? Is he afraid that the power of the Pei family will give up on his own initiative, or is he afraid that he will not have a good end to provoke Pei Jinghan?

Lu Cheng was so angry that he was almost unable to breathe.

I hated that I was not good enough to her, I couldn't see her thoughts, and I couldn't trust her and rely on her. Instead, I was protected by her foolishly.

"Dad..."

It was getting lighter and Anan next to him moved, turned around with his eyes closed, and leaned towards him.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and turned his head to look at his son.

"Dad, shit..."

Anan rubbed his eyes, vaguely and authentic.

The little guy grew older and looked more and more beautiful. Lu Cheng crawled out of the quilt and took his son out of the quilt, squatted down and let him swear in the chamber pot. Anan yawned, and his spirits became better and better. He listened to his swearing voice, raised his head and smiled at his father.

Lu Cheng suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

I don't know what consequences will be if he goes there. Well, Pei Jinghan makes things difficult for him and let him go, it's bad...

But so what if she dies? She has sacrificed her life, and he can't even be inferior to a woman.

After getting back into the quilt, Lu Cheng asked his son to lie on him, kissed him hard, stared at the boy's bright eyes and asked, "Who does Anan like the most?"

"Dad!" The boy who had just woken up had not intentionally tried to fight with his father, and grinned and said his heart.

Lu Cheng kissed his son again and continued to ask, "Who do you like the second person?"

Anan blinked, and a trace of cunning began to appear in his eyes that others thought they could not see, and he called "Dad".

Lu Cheng then went over and asked him who he liked first.

Anan shouted loudly for aunt.

This aunt refers to Ningxiang. When she didn't chase Ningxiang, Lu Cheng liked to hear her son call her sweetheart mother. When she chased her, she considered that something could easily happen to Anan called her mother again, so she corrected the name of her son.

A sneer came from beside him. Lu Yan woke up at some point. He reached out and pinched his nephew's little face, "I'm not conscientious, who usually gives you shit and pee? Who gets up in the middle of the night to give you warm goat milk?"

He was secretly expecting his nephew to like him the second time here, but he did not know that he had abducted him?

The second uncle bullied him, Anan turned his head and hid in.

Lu Yan reached out and grabbed the little guy into his bed, and one big and one small suddenly started to make a fuss. Anan's continuous giggling was more effective than the crowing of roosters outside the window, awakening the whole family.

Lu Cheng felt relieved as he listened. His two younger brothers were old, and even without him, he could live a good life.

"I have to go back to the orchard today. I have been resting for a few days. I guess I have to stay in the orchard for a few nights this time. You guys are optimistic about Anan and don't let him get into trouble again." After sitting up, Lu Cheng said while putting on his clothes.

He used to stay in the orchard for several nights without going home, and Lu Yan and Brother Lu Ding didn't think much about it. When Anan saw his father get up, he crawled back to his father's side, waiting to let his father put on his clothes.

Liuxi Village.

After Ningxiang got up early, she quietly observed Guan Ping's eyes. Seeing that Guan Ping's expression was normal, she breathed a light sigh.

But I made up my mind that I really can't do this again next time. I had a nightmare last night. It was Guan Ping who discovered that she had a private meeting with Lu Cheng and went to tell Pei Jinghan. Pei Jinghan was furious and pulled out his sword...

Ningxiang doesn't want to think about such a dream again.

After confirming that Guan Ping was unaware, Ning Xiangxin calmed down and moved a bench to the yard to peel the corn peel after breakfast.

Both families collected corn, and Ningxiang meant to be with the eldest aunt's house. She and her younger brother are now on fire at the eldest aunt's house. After grinding the noodles, she brought a few bags of noodles to her and cooked them alone. The excess corn was handed over to the eldest aunt to sell. But Li did not give in and said that he would make it clear. The noodles were ground separately and sold separately, and he refused to take advantage of their siblings.

Look, there was a pile of corn in one side of the yards of the two families, and Xu Qiuer was clamoring to see who would finish peeling it first.

"We have three people!" Amu said back in dissatisfaction.

Xu Shouliang and his son went to scatter corn stalks, so there were only two mothers and daughters in the East Courtyard, peeling corn stalks.

"You are also considered one?" Xu Qiuer joked about her cousin.

Amu was so angry that he sat on the bench and peeled up the corn in a good manner. As he peeled it, Dazhuang called him outside, and the little guy sneaked out to play. After all, he was only five years old and had no strength. Ningxiang didn't care about his younger brother. She and Guan were busy working under the persimmon tree. The autumn sun shone slanted over, which was quite warm.

After a busy day, night fell again.

Not long after Ningxiang's brothers fell asleep, Guan Ping went out like a ghostly place.

Lu Cheng was already waiting at the village head. When he heard footsteps coming from a distance, he asked calmly: "Who?"

"I." Guan Ping replied in a cold voice, and he had no good feelings for Lu Cheng. The more she felt pity Ningxiang, she would be disgusted with Lu Cheng who was protected by Ningxiang. If Lu Cheng had not been brave enough to meet Pei Jinghan this time, Guan Ping would not even want to tell him a word.

The two of them disliked each other, and after confirming their identities, they didn't have a word of conversation. They even competed at night, one faster than the other.

Although Guan Ping is a girl, she has been practicing kung fu for almost ten years, so she walks very fast. Lu Cheng has no foundation in kung fu, but the orchard is more than 18 miles away from Donglin Village. Lu Cheng cannot pass unless he wants to pull things. He travels twice a day, walks slowly for an hour, and walks quickly for more than half an hour. In addition, he is strong and has good physical strength, so he has not been left behind by Guan Ping at all.

It took two hours to use it, and the two of them arrived outside the gate of the city, and their aura was a little messy.

"Wait." Guan Ping looked up at the city tower and whistled.

Soon a crack was opened by someone.

Lu Cheng's heart became even hesitant as Guan Ping stepped into the city gate.

This is power, Pei Jinghan's power. As long as he wants, no matter he or the person who does his business for him, he can enter and exit the city at any time.

If he had higher power than Pei Jinghan...

The night was filled with darkness, and Lu Cheng was so eager for power for the first time.

I don’t want to be a farmer, I don’t want to be able to protect the woman I like, everything I imagined is like poison, and I don’t want to wake up.

In the quiet night, two dog barking suddenly came.

Lu Cheng instantly came to his senses. He listened to the barking of a family next to him, as they gradually walked away, Lu Cheng's eyes slowly returned to the clear light.

He is just a farmer who works in the fields every day to earn money to support his family. When he comes home, he hugs his wife and coaxes his son. There is nothing wrong with it, and there is no need to envy others. Now he has just encountered some twists and turns. After this hurdle, he can still continue to live the peaceful life he likes. Perhaps he has no wealth and wealth, but he feels at ease.

Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

It's late at night and people are quiet.

Su Yue was suddenly awakened by a burst of rapid footsteps, and then she heard Changshun calling out someone outside the window.

"What's the matter?" Pei Jinghan's unhappy voice came from the inner room.

"Crown Prince, Guan Ping has something to report back."

"Is there someone dead? I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Pei Jing said coldly, lying steadily on the bed, without any intention of getting up. The silly woman refused to live with him. Why should he go out to see a secret guard immediately for some news about her?

Changshun hesitated for a while, unable to tell whether the master really dislikes Ningxiang or is angry. Thinking of his usual good to Ningxiang, if he was just angry, he delayed the matter that the master might care very much, Changshun gritted his teeth and whispered to the window: "Criminal, Guan Ping brought a man here, it seems that he wanted to marry Ningxiang. Please beg for your kindness."

Su Yue couldn't help it anymore and sat up in shock.

Will Ningxiang have a man he likes so soon?

The prince just relaxed about Ningxiang. Can he allow Ningxiang to marry someone else immediately?

And who is that person?

Various thoughts emerged quickly. Su Yue was wearing clothes in panic while holding her ears to listen to the movements inside.

"Su Yue."

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, he heard the man calling her. Su Yue quickly responded, lit the light quickly and walked in. He saw that the gauze tent had been opened. Pei Jinghan sat by the bed with a gloomy face, but he didn't look at her, but asked her to serve him to change his clothes.

Su Yue put on the lights and looked for clothes nervously.

"Ningxiang has someone you like, why don't you tell me?" Pei Jinghan stared at the little maid who was nervously dressing him, his voice cold.

Could it be that everyone likes to lie to him and think he is self-righteous when he is kept in the dark?

Hearing the anger in the man's words, Su Yue knelt down and raised her head to defend herself, "The prince is wronged. I have never heard Ningxiang mention who she likes. I don't know, so how can I tell you?"

She really didn't know that her expression was naturally flawed. There was fear in her beautiful eyes and the grievances of being deceived by Ningxiang. Before Pei Jinghan could question her, tears fell down, "I'm sorry I treated her as a good sister. She didn't even tell me such things. If I had known that she had a good relationship, why would I persuade her to serve the prince in the beginning? Prince, she is not only ruthless to you, but she clearly did not really treat me as a sister..."

Pei Jinghan stared at her and believed her, and asked her to stay here and wait. He went to the front yard by himself.

Lu Cheng stood in the yard, and there were lanterns under the eaves of the corridor. However, he stood far away. When Pei Jinghan walked around, he saw only a tall and strong figure. However, Lu Cheng saw his appearance clearly, his face was as cold as frost, and he was not angry, because he had expected this result, Lu Cheng was not afraid, and looked straight at Pei Jinghan getting closer and closer.

Pei Jinghan stopped on the steps in front of Lu Cheng and looked down at the man in front of him.

He is tall and strong, like a villager, but his appearance is too outstanding and he is not like a villager.

Pei Jinghan has to admit that this person is qualified to be favored by Ningxiang. Regardless of his identity, he is no better than him.

But the more outstanding the other party was, the more angry Pei Jinghan became.

Angry, the other party snatched Ningxiang's heart, and was angry that he lost to such a village man who was just an extraordinary appearance!

"You are worthy of competing with me?" Pei Jinghan said sarcastically after looking at each other for a long time.
