The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 200 Consideration
“However, I have some information that will definitely be useful to you.” Chen Cai held up two fingers. “It only costs twenty taels.”

After saying that, he winked at Shang Wan.

Shang Wan found it offensive, grabbed Xiao Huan, turned and left, waving her other hand behind her, "I'll keep the shop for you, I'll come find you tomorrow."

Chen Cai: "..."

I'll just scratch you to death!
Xiao Huan turned around and asked Shang Wan, "Sister, aren't you curious about what the news is?"

"Curiosity killed the cat," Shang Wan said. "It's not really our concern anyway, so it's fine if we don't know."

A message sells for twenty taels of silver, why doesn't that guy surnamed Chen just rob it?
Her money didn't grow on trees!

Uh... at least partly not.

The two had a meal at a restaurant, and Shang Wan drove the oxcart to the Qiao residence.

Qiao Yu'an was at home when he heard the gatekeeper's report and quickly came out.

"I was just about to send Ah Le to find you," Qiao Yu'an said, glancing at the oxcart. "Why isn't Cheng Jing with you?"

"My husband is studying at home," Shang Wan said. "Do you need to see him?"

Qiao Yu'an: "It wasn't me, it was Master Chu. Master Chu wants Cheng Jing to paint a picture of him walking in the snow."

Shang Wan: "What about the payment?"

Qiao Yu'an choked, he really hadn't asked that.

"Painting is mentally and physically demanding, so we can't just paint for nothing, can we?"

Qiao Yu'an thought for a moment and said, "Go back and tell Chengjing first. I'll ask Master Chu and then have A'le tell you."

"Okay." Shang Wan nodded.

After recounting this matter, Qiao Yu'an asked Shang Wan why she had come to see him.

Shang Wan didn't keep them in suspense and asked, "How is Sang Qi?"

“My men have been keeping an eye on him,” Qiao Yu’an said. “He went to the Lu residence twice, and then returned to the escort agency, acting as if nothing had happened.”

Shang Wan looked at him and said, "I heard that the Lu family is moving to the capital."

Qiao Yu'an looked surprised and asked in astonishment, "When?"

"They've already started packing their belongings these past two days," Shang Wan asked. "Given the relationship between the Qiao and Lu families, haven't you heard a thing?"

Qiao Yu'an shook his head, "I've been staying at the county school these days and haven't heard anything about it."

Shang Wan narrowed her eyes and looked him over suspiciously.

Qiao Yu'an made her scalp tingle and her whole body feel uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Shang Wan looked away and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No."

"Oh, I'm leaving." Shang Wan waved to him and drove away in the oxcart.

Qiao Yu'an didn't delay and quickly sent someone to the Lu residence to inquire about the news.

He had a gut feeling that the Lu family's move was related to the villa that Lu Chengjing had asked him to keep an eye on.

……

……

I returned home under the blazing sun.

As soon as Shang Wan stepped into the courtyard, a little bundle of flesh appeared on her leg.

"Mommy!" The little baby had just taken a bath, his face was rosy, and his soft hair was still wet. He happily hugged Shang Wan's leg and rubbed against her.

Shang Wan had both hands full and couldn't hold her, but Yuan Yuan didn't complain. She sat down on Shang Wan's feet with her little bottom and hugged Shang Wan's legs tightly with both hands, steadily becoming a hanging ornament.

Shang Wan: "..."

Fine.

Shang Wan dragged the sweet burden on her feet into the kitchen, placed the things on the cutting board, and only then did she have a free hand to hold the baby.

Yuan Yuan twisted her little body, still wanting to play.

Shang Wan is a doting mother, and she took the baby to the bedroom.

Lu Chengjing was indeed in the bedroom. He had just given Yuanyuan a bath, and Yuanyuan splashed water all over him while playing, getting his clothes wet. He was changing his clothes in the room.

As soon as Shang Wan entered, she saw a snow-white back; the fox seemed to have gained some weight.

The person who came in didn't knock, so Lu Chengjing knew it was Shang Wan.

He turned around after tying his belt, and when he saw the little baby wriggling on Shang Wan's feet, the corners of his lips curved into a helpless smile.

Yuanyuan raised her little hand and waved to Lu Chengjing, wanting her father to play the game with her.

Lu Chengjing: "..."

He took a clean cloth, picked up Yuanyuan, and wiped the baby's hair.

Shang Wan went behind the screen, changed into some casual clothes, untied her hair ribbon, let her black hair down, and walked out while combing it.

Lu Chengjing poured her a cup of iced tea.

Shang Wan tied her hair back up and drank her herbal tea from her cup.

With her there to keep things in check, Yuanyuan didn't dare to argue too much with her father and obediently let him dry her hair.

As I was wiping him, the little guy opened his mouth and yawned, his eyelids drooping, and he drifted off to sleep.

Shang Wan poked her cheek with her finger; it was soft and fluffy, like dough.

The baby was being poked by his mother until he was drooling, but the mother had no self-awareness whatsoever, continuing to poke and pinch him endlessly.

Perhaps annoyed by the noise, Yuanyuan opened her mouth and, instinctively bit down, almost spitting out Shang Wan's finger.

Shang Wan: "..."

What a fierce kid.

Lu Chengjing pursed his lips to suppress a laugh, wiped the drool from Yuanyuan's mouth, and carried her to the small bed to sleep.

After everyone came out, Shang Wan asked, "Why didn't Yuanyuan take a nap?"

"Shi Tou took her into the mountains to look for ginseng. They went quite far, so they ate lunch late. She couldn't sleep well right after eating, so I played with her. Now she's sleeping well."

Shang Wan nodded and asked, "Did you find the ginseng?"

“Two ginseng roots were found. Stone was worried that the ginseng might escape, so he tied them to the tree trunk with a red thread.”

Shang Wan was helpless. Ginseng doesn't actually have legs, how could it possibly run away?
"Where are the seeds?"

“It’s not ripe yet.” Lu Chengjing picked up a fan and fanned Shang Wan. “According to the book, ginseng seeds mature from late July to October and are usually harvested in autumn.”

Shang Wan nodded and made a note of it.

Now that she has more spiritual fields, she can easily set aside a piece to grow ginseng.

"Qiao Yu'an asked me to tell you that Master Chu from the county school wants you to help paint a picture of walking in the snow. He didn't ask about the payment, but he said he would send someone to deliver the message after he found out."

Shang Wan poured herself another cup of iced tea and looked at Lu Chengjing, "Do you know that Master Chu?"

Lu Chengjing shook his head. When he was studying at the county school, Master Chu had not yet come to the county school.

"Then why did he suddenly ask you to help him with the drawing?"

Lu Chengjing was also unaware of the reason.

"Maybe they like your paintings," Shang Wan offered an excuse, then brought up another matter, "Are you still going back to the county school?"

Lu Chengjing countered, "You want me to go back to the county school?"

"I just think that reading shouldn't be done in isolation; communication and discussion are also very important," Shang Wan said. "But whether or not you go back is your decision."

After the case was clarified and news of Lu Chengjing's leg injury recovery spread, the county school sent people several times to invite Lu Chengjing back to school.

After all, Lu Chengjing had always been an outstanding student at the county school and was the teacher's darling.

Lu Chengjing has consistently refused.

Shang Wan felt that he had his own considerations, so she didn't interfere.

Lu Chengjing pondered for a moment and said, "I will go back after I have taken care of things at home."

Seeing that he had already made a decision, Shang Wan brought up the matter of looking after the shop.

"There are two places, one in the north of the city and one in the south of the city."

She carefully described the situation of the two shops, "In terms of the shops themselves, I prefer the one in the north of the city. It has a better layout, a larger courtyard, and people can even live in the backyard."

Shang Wan hesitated because, "But there are restaurants all around, what would it look like if a pharmacy suddenly appeared?"
