Liu Ji’an nodded. “You can name any condition you want.”
Shen Qingge said, “It’s simple. You should already know what kind of people the Xu family are.”
“I don’t want to go back, so I’ll stay at your house for now. Don’t worry, I won’t stay for free—I’ll cure your illness.”
Why only for now?
Liu Ji’an didn’t agree immediately. He looked troubled.
He had just gotten a wife, and before he could even grow close to her, she was already thinking about divorcing him. Of course he wouldn’t be happy.
Shen Qingge didn’t have the patience to wait. “If you’re unwilling, then forget it.”
After saying that, she turned and walked away.
“Don’t go,” Liu Ji’an quickly said. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree.”
“But you also have to agree to one condition.”
Shen Qingge: “What is it?”
“My parents have always wanted me to get married. Now that they finally have a daughter-in-law, they must be very happy. So in front of them, you need to cooperate with me.”
From their earlier conversation, Liu Ji’an had already realized—
His wife was not an ordinary person.
Naturally, he didn’t dare force her. There was a killing aura about her that felt very familiar to him.
If he hadn’t lived in a similar environment for years, he might have already been overwhelmed by her presence.
He was certain she had secrets no one knew about.
And the more mysterious she was, the more he wanted to know what kind of person she really was.
Shen Qingge nodded in agreement, and the two of them successfully reached their first agreement.
This would save her a lot of trouble in the future.
On their “wedding night,” since Liu Ji’an was sick, he slept on the bed while Shen Qingge slept on the floor.
She didn’t mind. After all, this cheap husband of hers looked very weak.
Liu Ji’an: “……”
After closing her eyes, Shen Qingge immediately checked the items in her space.
To her surprise, not only were her previous belongings still there, but everything from her newly opened supermarket was also neatly arranged inside.
She had heard that in two days, the Liu family would flee with the villagers to Yongzhou. She had been worried that her supplies wouldn’t be enough.
Since the Liu family had helped her, she couldn’t just think about herself.
Now that she had the supermarket, the supplies were enough to last more than ten years.
With her space, there was no need to worry about anything expiring.
After checking everything, Shen Qingge quickly fell asleep.
This was the first time she had slept so peacefully in an unfamiliar place.
…
The next day.
Even though she had slept late, Shen Qingge still woke up at five in the morning.
The unfamiliar surroundings made her pause for a moment, but she quickly remembered that she had transmigrated here yesterday.
As she sat up, Liu Ji’an on the bed also opened his eyes and said with a grin, “Good morning, wife.”
She glanced at him, her tone carrying a warning. “Don’t call me ‘wife.’”
Liu Ji’an nodded obediently. “Okay, wife.”
“……”
Shen Qingge was completely defeated by his shamelessness.
She folded the bedding on the floor and put it away, then walked to the bed. “Lie face down.”
“?” Liu Ji’an clutched his clothes and covered his chest. “I’m an honorable man—what are you trying to do to me?”
“……”
Shen Qingge ignored him and just looked at him coldly.
The look made him shiver, and he quickly became serious, turning over with difficulty to lie face down.
Once he was ready, Shen Qingge quickly took out a syringe from her space, pulled down his pants, and gave him an injection in his soft, fair butt.
Butt injections were a childhood nightmare for many modern people.
A deep blush spread from Liu Ji’an’s neck to his ears.
He had actually been stripped by a woman.
Shame!
Utter humiliation!!
He felt like his life was over—he would never be able to face anyone again.
Soon, the medicine began to take effect. A tingling numbness spread from his backside.
The sensation shot straight to his head.
He had never experienced anything like it before.
He immediately started writhing on the bed.
“Ah… oh… what did you do to me?!”
Shen Qingge said coldly, “Poisoned you.”
Then she put away the syringe and left the room.
“Oh my, the sun is almost setting and you’re finally up. No wonder Fifth Sister-in-law is so lucky. When we got married, which one of us didn’t wake up early to serve our in-laws?”
Third Sister-in-law Feng mocked as soon as Shen Qingge came out.
In the kitchen, Mother Liu heard this and came out holding a fire poker.
Second Sister-in-law Wen said, “Didn’t you sleep until late morning on your second day after getting married?”
Feng muttered unhappily, “That’s different. Fifth Brother is lying in bed and can’t do anything. How can she compare to me? It’s clearly favoritism.”
Mother Liu snapped angrily, “Say that again!”
Feng immediately shook her head. “Mother, I didn’t say anything.”
The fifth son was the family’s biggest concern, so Feng only dared to complain quietly.
Her little thoughts couldn’t escape Mother Liu’s eyes.
“Go cook, or you won’t be eating breakfast today.”
Feng glared at Shen Qingge before going into the kitchen.
Facing Shen Qingge, Mother Liu softened and smiled warmly.
“Shen Qingge, did you sleep well last night?”
“It was fine… thank you, Mother.”
Shen Qingge found it a bit difficult to say the word “Mother.”
“Ah!” Mother Liu smiled brightly. “It’s still early. Go back and rest more. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”
Shen Qingge didn’t insist. She could fight and handle weapons, but she was useless in the kitchen.
When breakfast was ready, she sat beside the eldest sister-in-law.
Mother Liu went to bring food to Liu Ji’an. Since his injury, his condition had worsened day by day. Before yesterday, he couldn’t even get out of bed.
Just as everyone sat down, an excited shout came from his room.
Father Liu and the other brothers rushed in, thinking something had happened.
They saw Liu Ji’an standing up by himself.
“Fifth Brother… you can stand!”
“That’s great!”
His three brothers surrounded him excitedly.
“Take a few more steps!”
He walked a few more steps.
Although he could now get out of bed, his body was still weak after lying down for more than half a year. Soon, he couldn’t hold on and was helped back to the bed.
Seeing her son improve, Mother Liu finally felt relieved.
She nudged Father Liu. “Wasn’t this daughter-in-law worth it?”
Father Liu laughed awkwardly. “Worth it, worth it! My wife is lucky—so the daughter-in-law she chose must be lucky too.”
Mother Liu lifted her chin proudly and walked away.
Only Liu Ji’an knew—
His recovery wasn’t because of good luck from marriage.
It was because his wife was anything but ordinary.
