It was the third day after Liu Yushu and Wu Qing got married.
In the early morning, Liu Yushu was sitting on a swing in the yard. As the swing rose and fell, she watched the white Chinese roses in the yard. A gentle breeze blew, carrying the faint sweet fragrance of the flowers.
She smiled and gently closed her eyes, carefully savoring the happiness around her.
At this moment, Liu Yushu felt at ease. Marrying Wu Qing made her feel truly happy.
She didn't have to be imprisoned like in her previous life and finally die a desolate death.
As long as Wu Qing was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.
Wu Qing knew she liked swings. He went into the mountains, chose the most satisfactory tree, cut it down, and made the swing for her with his own hands. The white Chinese roses in the yard were also planted one by one by Wu Qing.
Liu Yushu watched the white Chinese roses swaying in the wind under the caress of the breeze. She couldn't help blushing. She remembered that when she first met Wu Qing, he had also given her a white Chinese rose. The past memories were always so sweet...
The swing stopped, and her feet touched the ground. Liu Yushu recalled the little things of the past in her mind, and her heart was filled with the taste of happiness.
At this time, Wu Qing was doing carpentry work in the yard. He had been busy since early morning. Liu Yushu asked him several times what he was making, but he just smiled and didn't answer, only saying, "You'll know when it's done."
Little did he know that the beauty quietly came behind him and suddenly hugged his neck. The corners of his lips curled up, and his soft eyes were filled with a look of happiness. Actually, he had heard her footsteps long ago but deliberately pretended not to.
Liu Yushu coquettishly whispered, "Brother Qing, I'm really so happy now. It's so good to have you by my side." She rested her chin on Wu Qing's back.
The smile on Wu Qing's face deepened. He grabbed her hand, turned around, and picked her up. "Let's go. It's time for dinner."
Ever since Liu Yushu cut her hand while chopping vegetables, Wu Qing had forbidden her to enter the kitchen. Several times when she sneaked in, he caught her and carried her back to the room for a good "punishment".
Wu Qing also took over all the chores like doing the laundry and buying groceries. Liu Yushu just needed to eat, sleep, enjoy the flowers, and accompany him. Wu Qing was worried that Liu Yushu would feel bored, so he even took her to the mountains at night.
After all, she had secretly run away from home. Wu Qing didn't dare to take her to places too close to the city center of the capital. Since she didn't want to leave the capital, he had to settle down at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the capital.
Wu Qing thought to himself that Liu Yushu must be worried about her family, but she never showed it in front of him. She had given up her family for him, and it was he who had forcefully taken her out. Now that she had become his real wife, he must be doubly kind to her and make her feel happy. Only in this way could he live up to her.
After dinner, Wu Qing asked Liu Yushu to stay in the room first and come out when he came to open the door later.
Liu Yushu stood at the door. She gently pushed the door open a crack with her two small hands, closed one eye, and peeked out secretly. She saw Wu Qing jumping up and down. She couldn't help but wonder: What on earth was he up to?
Before she could figure it out, the door suddenly opened, which startled her. She quickly pretended to be taking a walk. "I've eaten too much." Her expression couldn't hide her uneasiness, so she turned around with her back to Wu Qing.
Since they got married, Wu Qing had always treated Liu Yushu like a child. To put it nicely, she was a child; to put it bluntly, she was a pig.
Wu Qing cooked delicious food for Liu Yushu in different ways every day. He truly wanted to feed Liu Yushu into a chubby white pig bit by bit.
One day, the "pig" was not willing to continue overeating decadently. She decided to pick up a basket and go out to buy groceries. By the way, she could also take a stroll in the street to digest food.
Wu Qing took Liu Yushu's hand. "I'll go with you."
"No need. Buying groceries is such a small thing that I can handle it myself. You don't have to go there in person, great chef. I'll buy back everything I want to eat without missing anything. You just get ready to cook a table full of delicious dishes for me tonight." Liu Yushu gave a charming smile and turned around to leave, but was blocked by Wu Qing's arm. "Can you buy groceries?" His tone was full of doubt.
Liu Yushu raised her head. "Of course I can. Who do you think you're looking down on?"
Wu Qing pursed his lips and secretly smiled. "Okay. Then buy me some ingredients. I'll write them down for you." Wu Qing turned around and went into the room. He wrote a note and handed it to Liu Yushu. He said with a smiling face, "Whether we can have delicious dishes tonight depends entirely on you."
Liu Yushu confidently patted her chest. "Just wait and see, great chef."
It was already noon when she arrived at the market. There were just the right number of people in the street. There were quite a few vegetable vendors, but the vegetables were obviously not very fresh.
If you wanted to buy fresh ingredients, it was best to get up early. Unfortunately, Liu Yushu just couldn't get up. Since she got married, it had been extremely difficult for her to get up early. She was deeply infatuated with her warm quilt. Looking at the list of ingredients on the note, she sighed and was a bit discouraged. "It's still easier to be a pig."
The first item on the list stumped Liu Yushu. What was "ground peanuts"? Weren't all peanuts grown in the ground? It was quite rare that she even knew that peanuts were grown in the ground instead of on trees.
This problem couldn't stump her. She came to a vegetable vendor and showed the vendor Wu Qing's menu. The thin vendor stroked his beard, stared at her, and cursed, "Get out of here. I don't have what you want."
"If you don't have it, just say so nicely. Why are you scolding people? You're crazy." Liu Yushu retorted without showing any weakness. When the vendor heard this, he immediately picked up a shriveled scallion and threw it at Liu Yushu. It happened to hit her forehead, which really scared her. She quickly turned around and ran away.
If they really fought, she was no match for the vendor. She had heard before that people often quarreled when bargaining in the vegetable market, but she never thought it would happen to her today.
Liu Yushu sighed again and again. Well, it seemed that buying groceries was really a skill. She'd better come with Wu Qing tomorrow. In this way, even if she had a fight with the vendor, there would be someone to protect her, and she didn't have to worry about losing.
The sun had set when Liu Yushu went home with just a few potatoes. She hadn't thought about how to explain it to Wu Qing yet. Wu Qing took the basket from her hands with a smiling face and led her to wash her hands. "My lady is back just in time. Dinner is ready. Let's eat quickly."
"What?" Liu Yushu was a bit confused. "Didn't you say you were waiting for me to buy groceries back?" She was very surprised to see the five dishes and one soup on the table.
Wu Qing laughed. "I don't want to go hungry."
"You..." Liu Yushu sat down to eat. Forget it. She'd settle the score with him after she was full. How dare he mock her! He really had a lot of nerve and was getting too bold.
At night, after seeing Liu Yushu fall asleep, Wu Qing gently tapped her sleeping acupoint and then flew out.
In the darkness of the night, he quickly came to a house. In just a few moments, he easily sneaked in. A middle - aged man and woman were soundly asleep on the couch, completely unaware of Wu Qing's arrival.
The bearded man on the couch was exactly the vegetable vendor who had thrown the scallion at Liu Yushu during the day. Wu Qing took out his sharp dagger. With one swift move, he easily took the two lives.
He had sworn that he would never let anyone who hurt Liu Yushu go. So in his mind, these two people's deaths were not at all unjust.
The next day, when Liu Yushu was tidying up Wu Qing's clothes, she found red spots on the corner of the clothes he had changed. Her heart skipped a beat immediately, and fear spread across her face. Just then, Wu Qing walked in. He smilingly snatched the clothes from her hands. "I accidentally got the clothes dirty when I was killing the fish yesterday. Please wash them clean for me, my lady."
So it was just fish blood. It really scared her. She thought he had gone to do something dangerous again.
Liu Yushu came to her senses and smiled. "Since you know it's a bother to me, be more careful in the future and don't get your clothes dirty again."
"Okay."
"My lady, let's go grocery - shopping together today." Wu Qing picked up the basket.
"Okay." Liu Yushu was very happy.
The two of them walked out of the door hand in hand and went to the market. Liu Yushu not only picked the vegetables casually but also bargained hard with the vendor. Just as the vendor was about to reply, he looked up and caught a glimpse of the cold and sinister killing intent in Wu Qing's eyes. He didn't dare to say a single word more and sold the vegetables to Liu Yushu at a loss with a smiling face.
Liu Yushu tenderly gazed at Wu Qing. "Brother Qing, it's so good to have you."
Wu Qing said, "You know all my heartfelt words."
