Chapter 879: Chapter 1: Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu Extra (01): He Was Reborn! (3)

Li Yuzhu cured Madam Liu’s illness, and the Liu Family, grateful, helped them build a bamboo house for free.

The village chief, grateful that the Li Family saved his father, helped them find barren land to reclaim.

In less than a month, the Li Family had a house and farmland.

The siblings all had work to do, and the family lived a peaceful and tranquil life.

Peace and tranquility were what the Li Family saw, but in fact, on the second day the Li Family arrived at Niu Tou Mountain, a group of assassins came.

His Beast Taming Skill drew out several hungry wolves, killing or severely injuring those people.

Assassins from Beiyang also appeared, and he drove them away using the same method.

The Beiyang Empress Dowager was not willing to give up; hard tactics failed, so she tried soft tactics to coax him to return.

Carrier pigeons delivered one message after another.

He simply ignored them.

No matter how many assassins she sent, he eliminated them unless she dispatched an army.

Of course, she didn’t have the courage to come to Zhen An Prefecture!

.

Li Yuzhu’s temperament was completely different from her previous life.

In her previous life, she was always frightened and weak.

In this life, she was lively at times, serene and gentle at times, and bold and resolute at times.

He got along very well with her.

Every day, he wanted to be with her.

However, her brothers guarded against him as if he were a thief.

.

Li Yuzhu, relying on her medical skills, earned quite a lot of silver coins.

The Li Family siblings, when they first came to Niu Tou Mountain, brought their delicate habits, but gradually adapted to rural life.

Even the eldest daughter Li Yuwen, whose hands hadn’t touched the spring water, supported herself with needlework.

The second daughter Li Yu En, who would complain of fatigue after walking a few steps, actually trekked tirelessly from the village to the market—over thirty miles round trip—day after day for months.

She wouldn’t miss even a single day.

The Li Family’s farmland continued to grow, and additionally, they dug a lotus pond, raising fish and lotus roots.

Prince Luling became the teacher.

Except for the Xue Family, who was still complaining about the hardships of life as in the previous life.

However, in this life, the Xue Family’s dream of selling her children fell through; the Li Family didn’t let her succeed.

Later, she still linked up with Yu Wen Zan.

In this life, Li Xingmao wasn’t benevolent to her anymore and divorced her.

According to his thoughts, he would kill the Xue Family.

But Li Xingmao probably considered the future thoughts of the two children and only wrote a divorce letter.

What caused him the most distress was Guoguo, the child he buried in the past; in this life, she was finally reunited with her adoptive mother from her previous life.

.

The days passed quietly until one day...

Li Yuzhu, holding a stick, dragged him into the cotton field.

"You’re always following me; do you want to marry me? If not..."

She threatened fiercely, pounding the stick on the ground.

Mu Yuanxiu stifled his laughter.

He had waited for her for two lifetimes!

How could he not marry her?

"Marry."

"Seriously? Not just because... you’re afraid I’ll beat you, right?" She blinked uncertainly, asking him again.

He looked into her eyes, lowered his head, and gently kissed her.

She didn’t shy away but instead happily returned the kiss.

"We exchanged gifts, so it counts as a betrothal," she said cheerfully.

"Hmm."

"Come on, let’s tell my parents."

Though the Li Family was forced by circumstances to marry off the three daughters early, Li Yuzhu worried about being sent to Beiyang for marriage, so she chased after him, wanting him to marry her.

However, his intentions were different from those of Pei Shenyan and Lou Chengye, who married out of necessity; he sincerely wanted to marry her.

He had waited for her for two lifetimes.

.

The wedding was hurried and simple.

She was young, not yet old enough to consummate the marriage.

Her mother worried he would take advantage early, calling him over to repeatedly admonish him.

Li Xing’an simply stayed at the mountain house, guarding against him.

She was someone he had waited for over two lifetimes; how could he seek just momentary pleasure?

He wanted to enjoy lasting happiness with her.

He was willing to wait for her to grow up.

.

This wait lasted five years.

The other Li siblings were surrounded by children; she was eighteen now, yet they hadn’t consummated the marriage.

Even the Wei Family grew anxious, sending someone to his residence to urge them to set a date.

When they would consummate, he had to choose, picking a day that’s fair, not too hot, nor too cold.

All things should be favorable.

Li Yuzhu chuckled, wrapping her arms around his neck, "I don’t care what day you pick, just don’t pick a day when I’m on my menstrual blood, it would ruin the mood."

He remembered her menstrual cycle even better than she did.

For the past five years, he prepared her sunflower water bag ahead of time and the herbal concoction.

He wordlessly pinched her nose.

"So, does madam remember what day your menstrual blood started three months ago?"

Li Yuzhu paused and immediately frowned, "You’re too much, asking about something months ago; how would I know?"

"I remember!" he smiled slightly, "I chose the day ten days after your menstrual cycle ended."

Li Yuzhu blushed, "That day... that day is... the dangerous day..."
