Chapter 181: Seize the Opportunity Tonight and Make a Baby With Him!
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment and decided to follow his heart.
Compared to Song Youwei marrying someone else, it was better for her to wait for him. At least this way, she would live a life of abundance, free from worries.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with eating what was in his bowl while thinking about what was in the pot, and Song Youwei didn’t think there was anything wrong with it either.
In this era, whether in the cultivation world or the secular world, it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines.
Especially among wealthy families and powerful cultivators, having a harem was the norm, and people like Lin Wencheng were rather rare.
He looked at Song Youwei with gentleness and said, “I will never look down on you, even though you have white hair. In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful.”
Song Youwei hugged his arm and leaned against him, her lips curling slightly. “You really know how to talk sweet. As long as you don’t look down on me, I will wait for you forever.”
“I will take good care of Lord Lin and Lady Lin and perform my filial duties for you. I just hope they don’t look down on me.”
“They won’t,” Lin Fengmian shook his head.
Song Youwei couldn’t help but joke, “That’s good. In the future, can I stay at home and not have to go out and show myself to the world, and just be a contented young lady?”
“Of course! You won’t have to go out and show yourself to the world anymore. I will take care of your tofu business.”
Lin Fengmian took her hand and solemnly said, “Sister Youwei, rest assured, I will come back to see you often.”
Song Youwei nodded, a little embarrassed, and changed the subject. “Let’s hurry and go shopping. Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin will be waiting for us.”
As they approached the busy market, Lin Fengmian put on a human skin mask, making his features more ordinary.
On the streets of this strange land, Song Youwei couldn’t help but relax. Here, no one knew that she had been married before or that she was a widow.
She didn’t have to worry about prying eyes and could be herself, free and easy.
She clung to Lin Fengmian’s arm, and he felt her soft touch and turned to look at her.
Song Youwei blushed and lowered her head, but she didn’t let go of his hand; instead, she held it tighter.
“Sister Youwei, let’s go. We need to buy all the necessities.”
Song Youwei nodded, and the two of them walked into the busy market, looking as sweet and loving as a newlywed couple.
Everyone on the street assumed that they were a married couple, and neither Lin Fengmian nor Song Youwei denied it.
They bought various bedding and other household items, their loving and sweet demeanor the envy of others.
“Sir, would you like to buy some fresh three-yellow chickens?”
“Sir, Madam, look at my cauliflower, it’s very fresh.”
…
The street vendors continued to hawk their wares as Song Youwei pulled Lin Fengmian through the market.
Soon, they returned with their arms full. Most of the items were stored in a storage bag, but live animals couldn’t fit inside.
Lin Fengmian held a chicken in one hand and a duck in the other. The restless chicken was still flapping its wings, its feathers flying everywhere.
Seeing its agitated state, Song Youwei couldn’t help but laugh.
“Pampered young master, you should just let me carry it.”
Lin Fengmian said with a righteous tone, “How can I? I’m not some weak scholar who can’t even hold a chicken. Lady, don’t underestimate me.”
Song Youwei’s face turned red and she scolded, “Who is your lady? Don’t just call me that!”
“Didn’t you just agree? You’re denying it so soon?” Lin Fengmian teased.
“Wasn’t it to avoid the trouble of explaining it?” Song Youwei defended herself.
Lin Fengmian’s expression turned serious, “Sister Youwei, you are the woman I captured. Do you still want to run away?”
“I… I won’t run away, okay, big bully!”
Lin Fengmian laughed heartily and followed Song Youwei back home. Li Zhuxuan took the items they bought and started to work.
Song Youwei went to help her, leaving Lin Fengmian and Lin Wencheng alone.
Li Zhuxuan scowled, “Old Lin, why are you standing there? Go make the bed or you’ll sleep on the floor tonight!”
“Ah?”
Lin Wencheng, who had never done such a thing, was taken aback.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t stop chuckling as he thought about how his father had suddenly become “Old Lin”.
Li Zhuxuan put his hands on his hips and glared, “What are you laughing at, Fengmian? You go too, or do you think you are still a lord or a young master?”
Lin Fengmian’s smile froze and he quickly replied, “As you wish, Mother!”
Song Youwei weakly suggested, “Should I go help later?”
“Don’t coddle them, they are all lazy and good for nothing!”
Li Zhuxuan advised, “Youwei, don’t spoil men. The more you spoil them, the more they’ll take advantage of you.”
Song Youwei listened with a puzzled expression and nodded like a little chick, making Lin Fengmian shudder.
“Stop staring and get back to work!”
Li Zhuxuan suddenly turned around, scaring Lin Fengmian and Lin Wencheng so much that they both grabbed their bedding and ran away quickly.
Song Youwei couldn’t help but laugh at the scene, and Li Zhuxuan smiled as she asked, “Youwei, what are your plans for the future?”
Song Youwei hesitated and said, “If Aunt Lin doesn’t mind, I… I want to wait for him here.”
When Li Zhuxuan heard that Song Youwei wanted to wait for Lin Fengmian, she was both touched and heartbroken.
“Silly girl, even though he is my son, this boy isn’t worth your devotion.”
Song Youwei shook her head and said, “It’s okay, I’m willing to wait for him. As long as he can come back to see me occasionally, that’s enough.”
Li Zhuxuan said seriously, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say anything more. From now on, you are my daughter.”
“Listen, Youwei, this boy is leaving tomorrow. You should make the most of tonight and have a child with him.”
Song Youwei gasped in surprise at her sudden thought and blushed, “Aunt Lin, what are you talking about?”
Li Zhuxuan spoke with deep concern, “You don’t understand, waiting for someone can be very hard. But when you have a child, you’ll have something to look forward to.”
“Having a child will also make that womanizer more attached to you. Otherwise, when he meets a pretty woman, he might forget you.”
Song Youwei couldn’t help but be influenced by this. Li Zhuxuan quickly seized the opportunity and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
Her ears turned red with embarrassment, but she was also intrigued. She opened her mouth several times in surprise, looking incredibly cute.
Finally, she nodded hesitantly, agreeing to the idea.
The two of them chatted and worked in the kitchen, while on the other side, Lin Fengmian and his father finally finished their tasks.
Lin Wencheng, who hadn’t done any physical labor for a long time, was exhausted and slumped down in the courtyard, drinking the coarse tea that Lin Fengmian had bought.
Listening to the laughter of Li Zhuxuan and Song Youwei, the warm, cozy atmosphere made both of them feel their fatigue melt away.
Lin Wencheng sighed, “This is what life is all about. After enjoying wealth for so long, I had forgotten how precious this simple, everyday life is.”
Lin Fengmian chuckled and said, “I had a lot of gold and silver, and I was thinking of taking it out to hire some servants, move to a bigger house, and let you guys live out your old days in comfort.”
“Since you like this simple life of farming and weaving, I’ll let you continue to enjoy it.”
