Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 250 Bad Luck
Xiao Yanci looked troubled: "Ruyan, I'm afraid..."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Wang Ruyan felt somewhat disappointed, even though she had expected this outcome.

She was the daughter of the prime minister, second only to the royal noblewoman, and was a prominent figure in the circle of noble ladies. She was even qualified to be married to the crown prince or a prince. Now she was betrothed to Xiao Yanci, a poor scholar. Even though he was good-looking and talented, and she did admire him, the thought of living a poor life made her have some reservations.

“I am indeed not good enough for you now. You are so wonderful, this marriage…” Xiao Yanci looked pained. “Fortunately, it hasn’t spread yet, so it won’t affect your reputation.”

"Don't talk nonsense. My father has betrothed me to you; I am your fiancée." Wang Ruyan was somewhat moved by Xiao Yanci's deep affection for her.

He's just a bit poor, but as the saying goes, fortunes change, and one shouldn't underestimate a young man's potential. Xiao Yanci's talent is unquestionable; given time, he will surely rise to prominence.

He has no money now, but she does. She stayed by his side during his most desperate time, and he will stay by her side once he becomes successful.

Besides, compared to those men with a bunch of wives and concubines in their harems, he, a commoner who ranked third in the imperial examinations, is much easier to handle. I heard that he doesn't have any family yet, so she will be the one in charge. She doesn't need to be filial to her parents-in-law, and she doesn't need to worry about conflicts with her sisters-in-law. She doesn't want to share a husband with other women, so she can only marry down, and this man is the best choice among those who marry down.

“Young Master Xiao, rebuilding this place is no small expense, and I don’t have much personal savings either. How about this, I’ll go back and make some preparations first, and I’ll send it to you soon.”

Xiao Yanci cupped his hands in thanks: "You've worked hard, Ruyan."

“This place is burned down like this, and you have nowhere to stay tonight. Find an inn to wash up and get a good night’s sleep,” Wang Ruyan said, taking off her bracelet and placing it in his hand. “I’m sorry to have to make you suffer.”

After Wang Ruyan left, Xiao Yanci stroked the bracelet on his hand, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

After Wang Ruyan returned to the Prime Minister's residence, she sent her head maid to inquire about Xiao Yanci's current whereabouts. Not long after, the maid returned, bringing news that moved her even more.

“Miss, after Young Master Xiao accepted your bracelet, he didn’t go to the pawnshop or the inn. Instead, he carefully kept the bracelet you gave him and stayed in a dilapidated temple.”

Wang Ruyan waved her fan and nodded repeatedly: "I knew I hadn't misjudged him. He truly cares for me; he wouldn't even pawn my bracelet. He also has a lot of backbone, and he'll definitely achieve something great in the future."

"Since Young Master Xiao is so promising, Miss should treat him even better. This way, you can completely win him over and make him even more devoted to you."

“That’s right. Send someone over immediately to take him to an inn, serve him the best food and wine, and change him into better clothes. I’ll go over tomorrow. It’s too late today. As the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s mansion, I can’t be too eager. I need him to continue to admire me, rather than thinking that I, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s mansion, should be nice to a poor boy like him.”

A grand reunion took place at Chiang Kai-shek's residence. Su Rende and his son-in-law drank several cups, and Su leaned against Zhang Zhaodi's chest.

Su Yaoguang was completely numb.

Is her father now completely letting himself go and not caring about his heroic image at all?

Zhou Wangshu hugged Su Yaoguang's neck and nuzzled against it, looking like a spoiled puppy.

"Sister, do you like me?" Zhou Wangshu cupped her cheeks, looking at her with bleary, drunken eyes. "Tell me, do you like me?"

Su Yaoguang glanced at Su Rende not far away. The latter was drunk and looked much like Zhou Wangshu, also pestering Zhang Zhaodi with sweet words.

Seeing this burly, imposing man acting all cute and clingy towards his wife, Su Yaoguang couldn't bear to watch any longer. She grabbed Zhou Wangshu and helped him outside. "I won't let you hug me..." Zhou Wangshu pushed Su Yaoguang away, and under her glare, he said pitifully, "If you don't like me, then don't hug me. Do you think I'm so easy to hug?"

Su Yaoguang squatted down, looked into Zhou Wangshu's eyes, and said, "I like you, I like you the most, I only like you. Now you're drunk and need to rest. How about we go rest together?"

Zhou Wangshu smiled, put her arm around Su Yaoguang's neck, and left the trip with her help.

"Young Miss, let me help the young master!" A servant stepped forward.

Zhou Wangshu pushed away the outstretched hand, looking displeased: "I don't need your help, I only need my wife's help. Go away and don't bother us."

"No need, I'll help him up. He's drunk and won't listen to anything, he's just making a fuss over me."

Zhou Wangshu leaned over and kissed Su Yaoguang's cheek: "Sister, don't be angry. I'll kiss you so you won't dislike me anymore."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

Since their marriage, Zhou Wangshu had never called her "sister" again. Now, drunk and revealing his true colors, he's started calling her "sister" again. Could this be some kind of fetish?
Su Yaoguang used some effort to bring Zhou Wangshu back to her room.

If he hadn't been moving around so much and walking so unsteadily, she would have carried him into the room long ago. However, even when he was drunk, he was still clear-headed and clearly indicated that he didn't want to be carried around.

Zhou Wangshu lay on the bed, mumbled something, and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Yaoguang lay by the bed, looking at his handsome face, and said to herself, "He is most quiet and most handsome at this time."

Too tired to sleep, Su Yaoguang lay down beside Zhou Wangshu and closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, Su Yaoguang was awakened by an itch. When she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face leaning close to her. She was still half asleep and half-heartedly resisted until she was violently thrust into and woke up completely.

"You..." Su Yaoguang pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "I was sleeping soundly, and you had to cause this mess. Do you believe I'll kick you off the bed?"

"Go ahead and kick me. At worst, I'll roll you off the bed with me. Maybe that'll be a different kind of fun."

"You..." Su Yaoguang covered his mouth, glaring at him with embarrassment and anger.

In her previous life, she had been husband and wife with Xiao Yanci for so many years, yet she had never seen a man's body, let alone had any physical intimacy with a man.

That stinky Wang Shu has practically made up for all the lust she's had in both her past and present lives. Whenever he has a spare moment, he has to pester her relentlessly.

"Wangshu... I have something to discuss with you," Su Yaoguang said, putting her arms around Zhou Wangshu's neck.

Zhou Wangshu buried his head in her collarbone, igniting fire within her body, making her weak as water, and she even forgot what she wanted to say.
