The War Empire. Thirty-nine years old in the capital. Old age.
Her eyes were closed in recent years, and every house was decorated with lanterns. Red lanterns were hung in front of the door, reflecting on the snow all over the ground, red and white, which were very beautiful.
Qin Susu squatted in the corner of her house and looked at the two pieces of silver that had just been dug out from the stone crack in the corner. She said, "How can this girl be so poor? She only saved this little money to protect such a capable husband. What a good-for-nothing..." She could not help but wipe away the tears that did not exist at the corners of her eyes.
The door creaked open, and she quickly stuffed the money into her sleeve. But because she was not used to wearing ancient clothes, she shook her hand, and the only two taels of silver rolled from her sleeve to the ground, to the feet of the man who had just entered the door.
She squatted on the ground and looked up to see the man's long legs and his perfect handsome face.
Qin Susu blushed instantly. It was not that she was shy, but this man was too good-looking, several times better than modern first-rate stars.
In particular, his deep starry eyes made her, a person who had come from modern times, feel uneasy after seeing them. She was really a beauty.
Who wouldn't love a beauty?
Moreover, through their interactions in the past few days, Qin Susu found out that he was not as cruel and merciless as the rumors said. He killed people like numbing? He didn't exist at all!
Even if the beauty took away all her property now, she would not blink and would give it to her immediately. Well, she only had two taels of silver.
"Listen to my explanation. It's not that I want to hide my private money. I... I saved it for our family... Hehe..." Qin Susu explained dryly, which made the man across her, who was weighing the money in his hand, raise his eyebrows.
Lu Mochen could only find it funny when he saw how much she loved money and had no choice but to give up. "This little lady is much more interesting after throwing herself into the lake."
"Okay." As soon as the man finished speaking, he stuffed the money into his pocket and turned into the house.
Qin Susu stood in the yard in a daze, allowing the cold wind to blow. She shivered and slapped herself in the face with regret. Although the strength of her hand was just like the spring breeze blowing on her face, she cursed herself, "You're so mean, you're so mean... You're so poor!"
She held her sleeves and walked into the house. Looking at the man sitting on the ground in the kitchen, she quickly put blood on the wild chicken and took off her hair. She squatted on the side and said unwillingly, "Beauty Lu, should we discuss who is in charge of the family? People say that men should be in charge of the house, and the house will collapse. So for the sake of our only thatched cottage, let me take charge of it!"
Lu Mochen didn't even raise his eyes or speak. He only heard Qin Susu nagging.
He didn't reply and Qin Susu was used to it. She kept saying, "I used to be a jerk and didn't want to marry you. But since I met the King of Hell once, I thought it through. Since my father sold me to you as your wife, I have to accept my fate. So I really want to live with you."
Lu Mochen pulled out the last hair of the wild chicken in his hand, raised his head, and looked straight into Qin Susu's eyes. He guessed that her words were somewhat true. Her eyes were watery, and she was staring at the sleeve that was loaded with money without blinking!
Indeed, a beauty has been a liar since ancient times!
He sighed silently. "I know that you don't want to marry me willingly. If you want to leave, I won't stop you." He married her just to take care of his third son. He didn't want his third son to think that he had no mother and was bullied by other children.
Hearing this, Qin Susu became anxious. She stretched out her hands to his arms and shouted, "Beauty, beauty, I've said it many times. I really want to live with you. Why don't you believe me?"
