Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 90: I'll eat today, and start dieting tomorrow!

Ning He was taken aback, then her mind raced.

After a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Absolutely! We must make Hu Youniang steal the exam questions, and we must also get Xie Yuan to help her write a masterpiece."

"Chu Tianze will surely be very pleased with himself when he gets his hands on that masterpiece."

Jiang Yueli laughed along with her.

"Not only that! The third-ranked scholar has just produced a masterpiece, which must be shown to all scholars in the world."

"In my opinion, when the literary master of the North displays his talent, he will certainly need these admirers."

"What do you think? Would it be better to hold this event at the Temple of Agriculture?"

Qiu Ming knew every place in the capital like the back of his hand.

He respectfully replied, "The outer altar of the Temple of Agriculture has a large open space, far superior to that of the Confucian Temple, which is more than enough to accommodate ten thousand students."

"If His Majesty were to grant the people of the capital permission to join in the festivities, then accommodating an additional ten thousand people would be sufficient."

Ning He nodded and said, "Anyway, it can't be at the Confucian Temple, otherwise I'm really afraid that someone like Chu Tianze will anger the sages of the past generations."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

Zhou Wei then reminded Qiu Ming, "Commander, we need to strengthen patrols in the capital in the coming days to prevent Hu Youniang from hurting people again."

Qiu Ming looked troubled.

“Aunt, the number of Embroidered Robe Envoys is limited, and they must be on standby for His Majesty at any time.”

"The Five Cities Garrison Command is in charge of the capital's defenses. It would be more appropriate for them to handle this matter."

"However, General Lu Zhiyan... has some disagreements with me, so I cannot intervene."

That's easy!

Lu Zhiyan's legal wife, Ning He, is here.

Upon hearing this, Ning He immediately said, "I will go and tell my husband about this."

After Qiu Ming left, Ning He started talking about Lu Zhiyan again.

"It's strange, but Lu Zhiyan has been staying at home these past few days and hasn't gone to Su Yunjin's place."

"My husband, did he have a fight with his mistress?"

Hearing Ning He say this, Jiang Yueli couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sister Ning, your mouth is really interesting."

Ning He laughed along, "I am genuinely curious. I've been busy looking for Xie Yuan these past few days and haven't paid much attention to Lu Zhiyan."

"I don't know what kind of conflict he had with Su Yunjin. They used to be inseparable, but they've been quiet these past few days."

Jiang Yueli joked, "Maybe when you go back today, the two of them will have made up again?"

Ning He thought Jiang Yueli was joking, but when she returned to the General's Mansion, Lu Zhiyan had actually gone out.

Only after summoning Yun Mo'er and asking her did they learn that Su Yunjin had sent someone to deliver a message to Lu Zhiyan.

Looking at Ning He's expression, Yun Mo'er said cautiously, "Miss, the general is probably just playing along with that woman. He won't stay there tonight, so please don't worry."

Ning He composed herself and glanced at Yun Mo'er.

"What, are you very worried about Lu Zhiyan?"

Yun Mo'er's heart tightened, and she immediately said, "Miss, you have misunderstood me. I just felt that the General has been staying at the General's Mansion these past few days and has not gone to look for Su Yunjin."

"General... perhaps he cares about Miss! How can Su Yunjin, a mere village girl, compare to Miss?"

Ning He sneered inwardly, too lazy to expose Yun Mo'er.

This girl is disloyal, but also stupid; it's good to keep her around.

To avoid having to go through the trouble of guarding against someone with ulterior motives.

"Since the general has already left the mansion, let's lock it up early today and not wait for him."

Yun Mo'er was about to say a few more words in defense of Lu Zhiyan when she looked up and saw Ning He's expression, so she could only shut up.

Ning He had long since stopped paying attention to Lu Zhiyan; she was going to see Xie Yuan tonight!

Why bother with someone as unpleasant as Lu Zhiyan?

……

Su Yunjin's courtyard was very clean today.

Ever since Lu Zhiyan left that day, Su Yunjin had sensed that something was wrong.

In the past, Lu Zhiyan would never insist on leaving even after she repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay.

This has always been the source of her confidence!

Ning He, a sheltered housewife, is utterly boring. How can she compare to me, a transmigrated woman?

Su Yunjin felt that as long as she wanted, Lu Zhiyan would be forever tied to her side, and she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

But Lu Zhiyan's behavior was somewhat unusual when he came out of the space that day.

Su Yunjin analyzed for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Lu Zhiyan.

In her subconscious, she never felt there was anything wrong with hiding the Spirit Spring Space from Lu Zhiyan.

This is what she uses to make a living in the Great Zhou world.

You can't even tell your closest relatives!

Su Yunjin sat in the room, pulling herself out of her thoughts. Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, she couldn't help but swallow.

"Why isn't Ayan here yet?"

Su Yunjin was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyan finally pushed the door open and came in, but his expression did not show much joy.

Lu Zhiyan was taken aback when he saw the table full of food and wine.

"Susu, why are you making so many dishes today? Is there some special holiday?"

Su Yunjin blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"No, I just felt lucky to have survived such a disaster, so I thought I'd cook more dishes to celebrate."

As Su Yunjin spoke, she pulled Lu Zhiyan to sit beside her.

He covered himself up completely!

His body, nourished by the spiritual spring space, exuded a faint fragrance, which made Lu Zhiyan somewhat infatuated.

His hand unconsciously went to Su Yunjin's waist, and then he felt something was wrong.

"Susu, have you gained a lot of weight these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin tensed up, her heart skipping a beat.

Has she gained that much weight?

In just a few days, Lu Zhiyan was able to sense it?

Su Yunjin calmly pushed Lu Zhiyan away and sat down in her seat.

Lu Zhiyan recalled the feeling in his hand; it was naturally better for the woman to be a little plump.

Ning He is too thin and weak!

Her body has defined muscles, which makes her lack some of the gentleness of a woman.

Su Yunjin looks quite beautiful now.

However, her face is indeed much rounder than it was a few days ago.

“Ayan, I’ve been recovering from a serious illness these past few days, so I’ve been eating a bit too much without restraint… so…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyan immediately said, "Su Su, don't worry about it. When we were in Su Family Village, I thought you were too thin and weak. Now you look just right."

"Besides, I like you more when you're a bit plump."

Lu Zhiyan's words made Su Yunjin blush with embarrassment.

However, she also warned herself that she should not eat and drink like she had a few days ago.

Otherwise, she would be ready for market in less than a month.

"Ayan, this is something I made myself, please try it." Su Yunjin eagerly served food to Lu Zhiyan.

Such a cautious manner pleased Lu Zhiyan.

The unpleasantness of that day has vanished!

After finishing their meal, the two spent some time together tenderly.

Lu Zhiyan enjoyed the delicious food and beautiful women, and was naturally satisfied. He fell asleep in no time.

Su Yunjin was too hungry to sleep, her mind filled with thoughts of the pork knuckle she had barely eaten that evening.

At the dinner table, Lu Zhiyan reminded her, "Su Su, this pork is cheap and should not be cooked again."

Su Yunjin could only nod in agreement, but her eyes started to gleam with envy as she looked at the plate of braised pork knuckles.

Now I'm lying in bed, my stomach is cramping!

"I'm so hungry, I feel like I could eat a whole cow."

"No, no, Su Yunjin, you've already gained so much weight, how can you keep eating like this?"

"But I can't sleep at all if I don't eat. There are still more than ten acres of land in the space waiting for me to harvest tomorrow. Where will I get the strength if I don't eat my fill?"

Su Yunjin was extremely distressed!

His hatred for Mei Xingyue and her son, as well as Zhou Wei, deepened even further.

If it weren't for these despicable people, how could my spiritual spring space have been damaged?

Nowadays, in order to prevent the space from collapsing, they still have to work hard on farms.

In just a few days, she did all the farm work she had done while hiding in Sujia Village!

I'm so tired every day that I don't even have time to breathe; all I want to do is eat a few more bites of meat.

Feeling increasingly wronged, Su Yunjin could no longer hold on.

She steeled herself, quietly lifted the covers, and got up.

He rushed to the small kitchen, not even having time to light a fire to heat it up, picked up the pork knuckle whose oil had already solidified, and began to eat it in big bites!

"I'll only eat this once, and I'll start my diet tomorrow!"
