Liu Shanchen sighed, and slowly entered the house and closed the door.

The oil lamp was a bit dim. However, Zhen Xi felt a little awkward.

After Liu Shanchen came in, he felt very embarrassed when he saw that there was only a pair of quilts on the bed.

"Then let's make do, you sleep over there and I sleep over here. No one can cross the line in the middle." Zhen Xi said and deliberately took out a thread and placed it in the center of the kang.

Liu Shanchen's face was already a little embarrassed. Seeing her behavior, he was a little stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, don't think so much." Zhen Xi said, then lay there and fell asleep without caring about Liu Shanchen at all.

Liu Shanchen watched her lying there carefree and went to sleep without caring about him at all, as if he didn't feel his existence at all.

He frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally followed her instructions and lay down in the position she designated for him.

The night always feels very long when someone is thinking about it.

At this moment, Liu Shanchen looked at the dark roof and looked in the direction of Zhen Caicai.

He still remembered when Zhen Caicai rescued Xiaobao.

If she hadn't come to the rescue in time, maybe her only income would be gone.

The most important thing is that she saved someone and left without saying goodbye and didn't publicize it everywhere. She didn't even have the confidence to ask others for anything.

This made him have some changes in his view of Zhen Caicai.

Regarding this, Zhen Caicai had already gone to play chess with Duke Zhou. She didn't even know that Liu Shanchen was not asleep and was secretly observing her.

The next day, since today was the day for cooking, she got up early, washed herself, and started busy in the kitchen.

Liu Shanchen was awakened by the sound of her getting up. When he saw her getting up, he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up slowly and followed her to the kitchen.

He knew more or less about Zhen Caicai's previous life. Apart from her appearance, she was also not very talkative.

But when I was at my parents' house, I had to do all the big and small jobs.

Many matchmakers came to his door and offered him a lot of betrothal gifts. Because the bride price they wanted was too high, his mother was very dissatisfied.

Then I spent twenty taels of silver to buy Zhen Caicai to be my wife.

"Let me help you..." Liu Shanchen watched her busy there alone, and after hesitating for a long time, he stepped forward.

Zhen Xi thought that Liu Shanchen would just watch from outside like this. She never thought that he would take the initiative to help her with work, but she didn't care about anything and just gave him what he could do.

Perhaps after what happened yesterday, Liu Zhang became more restrained.

None of them looked very good-looking, and some of them still had some bruises on their faces, which was obviously the result of being beaten yesterday.

Today the whole family was sitting there, looking at the food in front of them without saying anything, just eating by themselves.

The atmosphere felt extremely stressful.

Zhen Xi didn't serve it to the table and ate it directly in the kitchen.

After eating, she took out all the bedding and other things in her room and put them in the sun to dry.
