"Such things won't happen again. From now on, I won't let you worry or get hurt."
Mu Fengqie nodded and then looked away. However, her red ears betrayed her.
Early the next morning, Mu Fengqie went to the market.
Although the two of them had saved quite a bit of money, Mu Fengqie still thought it was not enough. She wanted to make a name for herself through her own efforts. Even if she earned five taels of silver every day, they would become the richest family in the village in a year.
The little incident that happened yesterday did not affect Mu Fengqie. Instead, she became more determined and worked harder. She had a wish after coming here, which was to open a medical clinic one day and resume her old profession.
In her previous life, she had amazing marketing skills. But since her family had been doctors for generations, she had to focus all her attention on medicine.
Today, the division of labor between the two of them was very clear. Mu Fengqie went to the market to sell goods, while Jing Xinche went up the mountain to hunt. Their days were comfortable and happy.
Mu Fengqie had just arrived for a short time when her attention was attracted by the people beside her.
The man beside her was extremely good - looking. In a short time, he attracted many people to watch.
However, what attracted Mu Fengqie's attention was not his appearance, but the things on his stall and what he said.
"Madam, I can tell you've just gotten married. This medicine of mine is a rare treasure. It guarantees you'll give birth to a son!"
The man had an obsequious look on his face, and the pills in his hand also caught Mu Fengqie's attention.
Mu Fengqie had been in the Chinese medicine industry for many years, and her nose was very sensitive. She smelled right away that the pills in the man's hand were just tonics. They had a little effect on promoting pregnancy, but it was a dream to guarantee giving birth to a son!
Hearing this, the young woman blushed. She was dressed brightly, and it was obvious that she was the wife of a wealthy family. It was normal for her to be eager for a male heir.
"Is this medicine really that magical? Can it really guarantee a son?" The young woman lowered her head and asked softly.
Seeing that there was a chance, the man rolled his eyes and then said, "Madam, don't worry. My pills aren't expensive. They're only five taels of silver. Since you're from a wealthy family, five taels of silver is nothing to you. You can buy two pills and try them."
Seeing the young woman's skeptical look, the man launched a new round of flattery. "Madam, don't worry. There are quite a few people in the surrounding villages who have used my pills. If the pills don't work, you can come here to find me."
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing. "What if you run away after ten or fifteen days?"
The man looked in the direction of the sound and met Mu Fengqie's smiling eyes. "I'm upright. Why would I run away?"
Seeing this, Mu Fengqie silently gave him a thumbs - up in her heart. This young man had good psychological qualities and was quite adaptable. It was a pity that such a young man didn't learn good things but instead learned to deceive people. As an elder, she should take care of this!
She couldn't let the future flowers of the motherland go astray.
"Your pills don't have such an effect at all. They're just ordinary fertility - promoting pills. Even ordinary fertility - promoting pills can't guarantee pregnancy on the first try, let alone guaranteeing a son."
Seeing this, the man's eyes were full of anger. "What are you talking nonsense about, girl? My medicine has been passed down from my ancestors. Others can't even get it if they want to. What do you know?"
Jiang Yanqin didn't expect his little scheme to be discovered by Mu Fengqie. He became vigilant and sometimes signaled Mu Fengqie with his eyes not to meddle in other people's business.
Over the years, he had never failed in his deceptions. He couldn't let this happen because of this young girl today. However, this girl looked young but actually had some skills. She seemed to be an expert.
Mu Fengqie shrugged. "Young man, you have hands and feet. You can earn a living by your own skills. Try to avoid taking the wrong path."
"Who are you calling young man, you little girl?" Jiang Yanqin rolled his eyes.
Mu Fengqie didn't care. After all, she had lived half a lifetime, so she wouldn't argue with Jiang Yanqin.
Mu Fengqie made her point and stopped. She had already said what she needed to say. It was up to others to decide. In this era, it was better to stay out of other people's business.
Jiang Yanqin remembered Mu Fengqie's appearance. He secretly decided that he would never get close to any place where Mu Fengqie was. This woman was very dangerous and might ruin his business.
Business went especially smoothly today. Mu Fengqie happily took the silver back to the thatched cottage. She saw Jing Xinche alone in the yard, holding a knife and some wood. It seemed that he was making something.
"I'm back. I bought you a set of clothes today. Come and see if it fits."
Mu Fengqie happily took out the clothes. Since she always saw Jing Xinche wearing black, she also chose a set of black clothes. Although they weren't very high - end, they were clean and neat.
Jing Xinche's eyes lit up. With a big smile on his face, he walked forward, took Mu Fengqie's hand and went into the house. "Why didn't you buy one for yourself?"
"I have clothes to wear. I can't wear so many."
Mu Fengqie didn't have high requirements for dressing. As long as the clothes could keep her warm, they were good.
Jing Xinche raised his eyes, looking a bit dazed. "Only you are the best to me, wife."
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie frowned, looking puzzled. "I've never asked you. Are you the only one in your family? Have you been alone all these years?"
She always felt something was strange. She heard that Jing Xinche had suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain not long ago. It seemed that he was alone.
Jing Xinche lowered his eyes, hiding the loneliness in them. "Compared with my previous life, I prefer the life I'm living with you now, wife."
Although Jing Xinche tried his best to hide his inner loneliness, Mu Fengqie still noticed his sadness and strangeness. Everyone had a past they didn't want to mention. If he didn't want to say, she wouldn't ask.
"Everyone has unhappy experiences and a past. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But I believe our life will get better and better. Do you have confidence?"
Mu Fengqie blinked playfully, using her optimism to heal Jing Xinche. For some reason, Mu Fengqie always had a feeling that Jing Xinche's identity was extraordinary.
She had seen Jing Xinche's martial arts skills. Such good light - body skills could only be mastered by those who had practiced martial arts since childhood, which was enough to show that he was not an ordinary vagrant.
Jing Xinche rarely showed a smiling face. He quickly pulled Mu Fengqie into his arms, and the two hugged tightly.
Mu Fengqie paused for a moment, and her face turned red. She quickly escaped from Jing Xinche's arms. "Um... I'll go cook!"
