Fu Chen’an nodded and explained, "During our last battle against the barbarians, the General chased after them and fell into a trap. We were surrounded, and the General was injured by an arrow."
"It was thanks to your dicinal water that I was able to buy so ti and bring him back to our camp. If not for that water, he would have died before the physician arrived."
"Since I just got promoted, he couldn’t give another promotion in the anti. So, he gave this money and also a jade token. In the future, I can use the jade token to exchange for a favor."
After she heard her husband’s words, Yao Zhi was stunned. She never expected the water would play such a significant role in the war.
Now, she finally understood why she was able to gain so many rit points. It was all because she unknowingly saved the General with her spiritual spring.
Seeing that his wife was saying nothing, Fu Chen’an asked probingly, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing his voice, Yao Zhi was pulled out of her thoughts. She shook her head and said, "I’m glad that I can help you. Before you return to the barracks, I will prepare more dicinal water for you. You should carry it with you all the ti, just in case."
Noticing the worries in his wife’s eyes, Fu Chen’an felt complicated. He didn’t want to admit it, but he was attracted to the person in front of him more and more.
He didn’t know if the soul inside that body was his wife, and liking her made him feel as if he was betraying his wife and their marriage. For an unknown reason, he even thought that he was no different than a scumbag who ate from the bowl while eyeing the pot.
Not knowing that soone almost turned bald from overthinking, Yao Zhi kept the money and said happily, "Husband, can you accompany to the town later?"
"Okay," Fu Chen’an nodded. He could go to the mountain tomorrow.
After breakfast, Yao Zhi went to the kitchen to fill a waterskin and took out four pieces of scallion flower stead buns and stead buns with red bean paste filling, totaling eight pieces, from the system’s storage.
She wrapped the stead buns with clean fabric and placed them inside the small bamboo basket, together with the waterskin.
When she was done, Fu Chen’an had already washed the dishes and said, "Wife, we should depart now."
Yao Zhi nodded, and they left after locking the doors.
As they walked toward the village entrance, the villagers saw them. They were shocked when they saw him walking with an unfamiliar woman. Everyone knew that he was married and who his wife was. So, they were sure that this woman was not his wife.
While the villagers were curious, no one dared to go and ask until Xiao Wei suddenly walked over and called out, "Fu Chen’an!"
Seeing that it was his friend, Fu Chen’an smiled and greeted him, "Xiao Wei, are you going to the town, too?"
Xiao Wei glanced at the woman standing so close to his friend for a mont before he pulled his friend to the side and asked in a low voice, "Fu Chen’an, what do you think you are doing?"
Hearing the accusation in his friend’s tone, Fu Chen’an frowned and asked, "What do you an?"
Xiao Wei glanced back for a second and said, "You are a married man. No matter how unreasonable your wife is, how can you behave so intimately with another woman in public?"
Only when he heard this did Fu Chen’an realize that his friend had misunderstood him. "That person is my wife," he replied.
The mont he heard this, Xiao Wei blurted out, "Impossible! Don’t try to fool just because I’m illiterate. I’m not stupid."
"She is really my wife. If you don’t trust , you should ask your mother. Aunt Wang can testify for ," Fu Chen’an said helplessly.
Seeing how confident he was, Xiao Wei beca unsure and asked, "Is she really your wife?"
"Yes," Fu Chen’an replied firmly.
"How could my Sister-in-law lose so much weight in such a short ti?" Xiao Wei said in astonishnt.
"My wife had been poisoned before, and it made her gain weight. Now that the poison has been cleared out, she naturally returned to how she should be," Fu Chen’an replied calmly.
"Sister-in-law was poisoned?" Xiao Wei was taken aback. After a mont of pause, he added, "No wonder your wife seed so irritable and sickly back then despite eating a lot. Turns out she was hard."
Fu Chen’an patted his friend’s shoulder and said, "My wife is still waiting for . Tomorrow, co to my place and have a al together."
"Okay."
After a brief conversation, Fu Chen’an walked back to his wife and said, "Wife, sorry for making you wait. Let’s go."
Yao Zhi nodded and followed him. She noticed the villagers’ inquiring gazes, but had no plan to explain to them. Tomorrow, everyone will learn about him. So, there was no need to waste ti explaining it twice.
When they reached the village entrance, they saw a donkey cart parked there. Seeing the young man, Yao Zhi pulled at her husband’s hand and said, "Husband, we are lucky to et Xiao Hu today. We don’t have to walk to the town."
Fu Chen’an frowned when he saw the handso young man sitting in the driver’s seat.
As a martial artist, he could distinguish another martial artist. The young man looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his aura was not sothing a teenager could have.
As he walked closer, he t with the young man’s sharp gaze and felt the danger emitting from him. At this mont, a thought flashed in his mind, ’This person had killed a lot of people!’
Noticing her husband’s sudden stiffness, Yao Zhi turned to him and asked, "Husband, what’s wrong?"
