They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 359 We're a Fake Couple
After thinking about it carefully, Liang Minglang felt that she was a little pitiful.

Everything inside and outside the house was earned by her own abilities. To be honest, when he heard Granny Qin Qing, the villagers, and others recount the story, he couldn't believe it.

Even with good luck, without real skills, one cannot keep what one has gained simply by luck.

Ultimately, she's just very capable.

Such a formidable person is now living under the same roof as me under the guise of my wife. How can I not rack my brains and try every possible way to avoid her?

According to Mingxuan, she knows some things but can't remember others. So, it's highly likely that she didn't remember that she and he were actually a fake couple.

"How could I blame her? Let Madam rest well, I won't disturb her."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after Liang Minglang finished dinner, he went to his younger brother's room to sleep.

Very self-aware.

Xu Zhichun, under the pretext of having tea, learned from Granny Qin Qing that he had gone to Mingxuan's room and breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, another day has passed.

I can use the excuse of not feeling well for a few more days. Well, my period should start in a few days, so I can delay it for a few more days.

In the meantime, she had to figure out a way to keep him from bringing it up.

How do I bring it up? That's the question.

After all, they are husband and wife, and a couple who are more excited about their marriage after a short separation. Normally, at this time, they should be inseparable, passionate, and want to spend every night together.

If he becomes suspicious, that would be troublesome.

The next morning, Xu Zhichun was still "not feeling well" and simply stayed in bed, too lazy to get up.

He's a grown man, he definitely can't stay still. He should be heading out soon.

Xu Zhichun never expected that Liang Minglang would actually come into her room to visit her.

Xu Zhichun was startled and quickly sat up. "I... I'll be fine after a rest. You should go out quickly, what if the illness passes?"

Listen to how virtuous she is! Those who know what's good for them should get out of here right now.

Instead of leaving, Liang Minglang moved a stool and sat down in front of her bed. "It's alright, I'm healthy, I won't catch any illness."

"what"

At this moment, Xu Zhichun should have expressed her gratitude and praised him, but she couldn't bring herself to do so, and she couldn't even manage a genuinely moved smile.

“Although we are not a real couple, you are not feeling well, and as your husband, I should show you some concern.”

"I--"

Xu Zhichun was so shocked that she almost blurted out "What!" before choking and coughing desperately while covering her mouth.

Of course you can't ask! Asking would mean she doesn't know, and that would give you away. After all, as the other half of a fake couple, she definitely knows, even if no one else does.

Liang Minglang looked apologetic. "Did I scare you?"

"No, no! No, no!" Xu Zhichun was in a great mood. She raised her eyes, which were fogged up from coughing, and looked at Liang Minglang with a warm and bright gaze. Her fair and rosy cheeks were full of smiles.

How wonderful!
"I... I just felt that I didn't need to trouble you so much."

Liang Minglang knew perfectly well why she was so happy, and he found it both amusing and frustrating: Why was he so annoying?
"It's no trouble at all, it's nothing. Just for how good you've been to Mingxuan, I should repay you in any way I can."

The word he used was "repay," which made Xu Zhichun feel more at ease.

"No need to repay me. Mingxuan is a good person. I am willing to protect him. If it weren't for him, I would probably have been kicked out by the first and second wives long ago."

Without Mingxuan, she, an "outsider," would have no way to settle down in Liangjia Village.

Liang Minglang still said, "Thank you."

Liang Minglang added, "It's stuffy inside. If you feel a little better, don't stay inside all the time. Go out for a walk; it will help."

No need to hide from him anymore.

Xu Zhichun felt a little guilty, unsure whether he was genuinely concerned or had figured something out. But regardless, she really didn't need to stay indoors anymore using "feeling unwell" as an excuse. "I'm much better now; I was planning to get up in a little while anyway."

Liang Minglang nodded, then said after considering for a moment, "I'll go back to my room tonight, or sleep on the floor like before."

Xu Zhichun's heart, which had just been in turmoil, settled down again, and she nodded in agreement.

Since they're just a fake couple, it's better for them to sleep in the same room.

What if people can tell it's fake?
Liang Minglang smiled and said, "I'll go out first."

"Ah."

Liang Minglang glanced at her, turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.

Xu Zhichun was in a good mood, feeling that spring was in full bloom and everything was wonderful.

All troubles will be resolved!

What else could be causing her discomfort?

It was incredibly pleasant for both body and mind.

At breakfast, the two sat facing each other without feeling awkward. Xu Zhichun even smiled and kindly encouraged Liang Minglang to eat more, telling him to tell Granny Qin what he liked to eat so that Granny Qin could cook it for him next time.

Very considerate.

To outsiders, she's a virtuous wife.

Liang Minglang smiled and agreed, adding that he wasn't picky about food and could eat anything. Besides, the food at home was already quite good.

They were very cooperative, giving and receiving to each other.

The two of them seemed to get along quite well.

Granny Qin Qing smiled with relief: Good, good, good! Madam and Master have finally recovered! This is the true way for a couple to get along. They were probably estranged from each other because they had been apart for so long, and it looked a bit awkward to watch them. But now it's all right!

It seems like it won't be long before we have a little master!
After breakfast, Xu Zhichun planned to go and check out the konjac field.

Liang Minglang then said, "I'll go with you."

Anyway, he didn't have anything to do.

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Alright, you should also go and take a look at the family's fields."

It's hard to say what will happen to the family fortune she's accumulated in the future, but she definitely can't hide it from him.

Xu Zhichun hesitated, unsure how the original owner addressed him. He couldn't just use those informal "you, you, you" sounds inappropriate.

But she just couldn't remember.

Logically speaking, calling him "husband" or "father" would be the safest option, but she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

Liang Minglang probably sensed her predicament and took the initiative to say, "You've always called me by my name before, so please call me Minglang as before."

Relieved, Xu Zhichun smiled and exclaimed, "Minglang!"

The two went to the fields, and Chunfen, as usual, tried to follow, but Granny Qin Qing quickly grabbed her.

The naive girl, unaware of what was going on, urged Granny Qin Qing, "Granny, is there anything you need to tell me? Tell me quickly, or Sister-in-law Zhichun will wander off!"

Granny Qin Qing was both amused and exasperated. "You don't need to come along!"

"Why? I always go with Sister Zhichun when she goes to the mountains."

"That was before. Now that the master is here, why would we need you, silly girl?"

Isn't your presence just drawing attention and causing trouble? It's hindering the couple from getting to know each other better.

Chunfen didn't understand why the master no longer needed her. "But the master is the master, and I am me."

"Anyway, I said you don't need to go, and you don't need to. You can ask Madam when she comes back."

Chunfen was skeptical. Sister-in-law Zhichun had said that when she wasn't around, we should listen to Granny Qinqing. Well, Sister-in-law Zhichun had already disappeared, so she was not around. So, we should listen to Granny Qinqing.

"Oh"
