“Wife, it’s time to get up.”
“Wife, it’s dawn. Didn’t you say that you’re going to the city today?” “Wife, wife. ?”
A deep, gentle voice with a hint of warmth sounded in her ear. Longyue felt as if a brush was gently brushing her earlobe, causing her to feel goosebumps all over.
She opened her eyes quickly and was greeted with the sight of a handsome face. There was a satisfied smile and an indescribable gentleness on his face. Seeing that she had woken up, he smiled again, stood up, and spread his arms. He picked up a small green blouse at the side and said slowly, “Wife, let your husband help you dress.”
Longyue was silent.
She glared at the man in front of her and gritted her teeth in anger. In her previous life, she was still a virgin when she parted ways with him, but last night…
This damn man casually set up two candles to create an atmosphere and said sweet things to her. After coaxing her several times, he actually succeeded in getting what he wanted and tormented her for more than two hours!
“What the f*ck! After I was reborn, could this man have also been reborn? Otherwise, why had his personality changed?” she wondered.
“Shameless!” she thought. She glanced at him sideways, her cheeks puffed up in anger, but she did not say anything. The man smiled. Apart from gentleness, there was also a hint of mischief in his eyes. He slowly helped her get dressed, and then carefully removed some bloodstains.
“Bastard!”
As she watched him leave, Longyue cursed impatiently and punched the bed in frustration. However, the moment her feet touched the ground, her mind became clear.
Yes, she had been reborn and wanted to have a good life with him, but those rumors about her were a thorn in their side.
It was actually very easy to neutralize the thorn.
“I was silly.”
She knocked her head gently and smiled charmingly.
After a while, Li Qingmu came in with water and a towel for her to freshen up.
He seemed to be even more energetic than usual today, as if he had eaten 10 multi-nourishment pills. “Shouldn’t I collapse from a night of hard work?” he thought.
Longyue had a confused expression as she let him help her freshen up. After everything was done, Li Qingmu smiled and said, “Wife, you were tired last night. Let’s go to the county city for a meal today, alright? The snacks there are very good. There’s soup, pancakes, pan-fried dumplings, and…”
“I want to eat pork buns!”
Longyue interrupted his rambling impatiently and went out to call her younger brother-in-law. She placed the lingzhi she picked yesterday in a small wicker basket. A coarse sack was placed on top. Longyue carried the basket. Her younger brother-in-law carried a small wicker basket of herbs. Li Qingmu carried a book basket and left the house.
Madam Zhang leaned against the door frame and watched as the three of them walked away slowly. She opened her mouth and spat.
Longyue and company were going to the county city, so they had to hitch a ride. Since Li Qingmu was a scholar, the villagers would give him some face. It was not difficult to get a ride in a cart.
However, there were a lot of people going to the county city today. The ox cart was filled with people and it was a bit of a squeeze. Li Qingmu looked at the packed cart and frowned in displeasure.
His wife was delicate and it was probably not appropriate for her to squeeze in an ox cart with so many people.
Besides, he did not like it if his wife and a stranger touched each other.
He did not know if he was crazy, but he accepted that he was petty.

Coincidentally, Chai Tieniu arrived with an ox cart.
Yesterday, he had hunted a giant python and stripped it of quite a bit of its value. Today, he would go to the city to sell its parts. Longyue thought that she could get a ride from him.
However, Li Qingmu glanced at Chai Tieniu and said to her coldly, “Later you’ll sit on this side and I’ll sit on that side.”
Longyue was surprised. “What is wrong with this man this morning? Why does he have to bother with the order of seating?” she thought.
Before she could wrap her head around it, she realized that he had carried her onto the ox cart.
Longyue was stunned.
After seeing his shamelessness and savage behavior last night, Longyue was no longer surprised by his subsequent actions. All the way to the city, she sat in the cart expressionlessly while he helped her tidy her messy, wind-swept hair. Soon they entered the city. The group parted ways at the city gate and arranged to meet there before noon. “Longyue, let’s go. Let’s go sell medicine!”
The moment he got out of the ox cart, Li Qingqiu jumped up and down like a monkey. At the thought that he could buy candied haws with the money earned, he was overjoyed.
Li Qingmu looked at his younger brother holding his wife’s hand and went up to push his little hand away. He then took the basket from her and said, “Turn left on the road in front. Wife, I’m going to Drunken Ink Pavillion to sell calligraphy and paintings. It’s on the way. Let’s go together.”
Longyue did not know that this man was being petty and jealous of his younger brother. Thinking that it would be easier for him to carry the basket for her, she agreed.
Drunken Ink Pavillion was still quite a distance away. The first place they arrived at was a medical center-Ji Shi Hall.
The moment they entered, a boy servant came up to greet them. He asked if they were looking for medical treatment or medicine. Longyue pointed at the basket that Li Qingmu was carrying. “Selling medicine. Do you accept them?”
“Miss, we have a specialized supply of herbs here…”
The boy servant glanced at the plantain and other herbs in the basket and felt a little awkward. Longyue did not say anything else. She pushed aside the top layer and revealed a stack of lingzhi.
The boy servant’s eyes instantly lit up. He smiled and said, “Miss, please come this way.”
The boy servant brought Longyue and the others into a room. A middle-aged man with a goatee sat inside. His hair was tied into a Daoist bun, and he wore a long robe with wide sleeves. If he had a horsetail whisk, he really would seem like an otherworldly expert.
“Miss, this is the shopkeeper, Qin. If you have anything you want to sell, you can talk to him.”
“Alright, greetings, Shopkeeper Qin.” Longyue smiled at him before taking Li Qingmu’s basket and placing it on the table. “I want to sell some lingzhi. Do you want them?”
These words were just pleasantries. What really mattered was the bargaining process. Shopkeeper Qin got up and took a look at the lingzhi in the basket. His eyes immediately reddened. He craved them.
He coughed. “Are you selling these lingzhi mushrooms?” “Right, would you accept them?” “Yes, yes. As for the price.”
He narrowed his eyes till they were tiny. Longyue smiled. “What is the price?”
“Young lady, to be honest, these lingzhi of yours were freshly plucked. There’s still moisture in them. If the weight is too heavy, our medical hall will pay 10 copper coins per liang?..”
Just as he said this, Li Qingmu picked up the basket and dragged Longyue away.

Longyue looked at him in surprise. Only now did she realize that her husband had always been very shrewd. In her previous life, she had felt that he was useless because she did not care about him.
“Sigh, Young Master, please wait. Miss, please don’t leave. We can still negotiate the price. I’m not done yet…”
How could Shopkeeper Qin have imagined that this couple would be so direct? When the price did not match, they left without saying a word. He suddenly panicked and chased after them.
Longyue sneered. “This shopkeeper seems to be a good person, but he is actually a slippery one. Does he think that honest people are easy to bully? Does he think that we know nothing about the price of lingzhi?” she thought.
In her previous life, she had worked in a medical center. She might not know about other herbs, but she was very familiar with things like lingzhi, ginseng, and antlers. When the shopkeeper saw that Longyue wanted to leave because of a disagreement, he immediately gave a lame excuse. He was quite good at reading people.
