First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

Chapter 4: The Reappearance of the Space

Before the door, Xie Erzhu watched everything unfold. Suspicious, he wondered why his third sister-in-law acted like a different person? If she could always act this way, that would be wonderful. However, her current state terrified him. He had a feeling that she had suppressed herself just to make a big move later.

Xie Erzhu didn’t dare to speak and turned to leave.

Later, Lu Jiao washed the dishes and thought, what should she do now? It was impossible to stay put in the Xie family. Not only was her relationship with Xie Yunjin and the four kids very tense, she had also never thought she’d take someone else’s man and children.

Thus, she didn’t think she should stay. However, how should she get out of here?

Lu Jiao thought about it. In the Great Zhou Empire, women were allowed to be the head of the household. She could peacefully separate from Xie Yunjin and then head over to Yamen to start her own household. There, she could stay with the original host’s family at the Apricot Flower Village.

But it was not the right time to separate from her husband. Xie Yunjin was paralyzed and the four weaklings were no stronger than baby chickens. If she brought up separation now, the future First Assistant would never forgive her. Especially when she remembered how he wound up the ultimate villain in the book! Therefore, the best choice was not to leave now.

It would be better to first cure Xie Yunjin’s legs.

That idea brightened Lu Jiao’s eyes.

That was right. If she could cure Xie Yunjin and raise the four little ones to be chubby and healthy, Xie Yunjin may just hate her less. If she leaves him then, he may just spare her life.

Then, they could each walk their own roads and never cross paths ever again. As for those four little villains and that one big villain’s fate, there was nothing she could do to change that. Even if she wanted to alter their fate, nobody would humor her and she may just lose her own life in the process.

Lu Jiao very quickly started to think about Xie Yunjin’s legs. His legs were heavily injured. The doctor had said that the horse carriage had crushed his bones. In order to heal his legs, they must find the best military doctor to perform surgery on him.

That was right. There were military doctors in the Zhou Empire’s army who knew how to perform this surgery. However, those who knew were far too few and that was why the doctor from Hebao Tang said treatment would be difficult.

Lu Jiao naturally wasn’t worried about surgery. She had the knowledge to perform it. However, in the world she was in now, surgery should only be performed if she could ensure no hiccups.

Just as she thought of that, she felt her palm grow hot.

Instinctively, she looked down and saw a flickering flame-cloud pattern show up on her palm. That was her space…

Lu Jiao’s heart started to tremble. Her space transmigrated with her?

Lu Jiao quickly opened her space and found that her world truly did follow her here. Everything in her space was left untouched.

Her space was modest in size but it was very incredible. Inside, there was a stream and a piece of farmland. Beside the stream was a three-roomed bamboo house.

The bamboo house contained much medical equipment and some commonly used medicine. In the east room of the house, there was a bookshelf filled with all sorts of books.

On the plot of land outside her home, she had planted many medicinal herbs. They included ginseng, ganoderma and astragalus. On the edges of the land, she grew a variety of fruits. Currently, there were even some hanging on the branches.

On the most inner corner of the land were green onions, ginger, garlic, and other similar plants. She planted these so it would be convenient when she cooked.

Lu Jiao stared at all of this and felt her energy was restored. With all these, she won’t have any trouble with Xie Yunjin’s legs and would be able to feed those four little ones. She had no reason to worry about her life being difficult going forward.

The gods were truly kind to her. Lu Jiao smiled and all the worry that was on her face vanished.

She did the dishes and efficiently picked up the hen from the corner of the kitchen. She was going to kill it to make chicken soup and fatten up the four little ones.

The porridge and egg crepes for breakfast had already shocked the four little beans yet somehow, for lunch, they were fed brown rice and chicken soup.

Though the brown rice was crunchy, Lu Jiao mixed some white rice with the brown so it was easier to chew. Plus, the chicken soup was fresh out of the pot.

The four little beans were stunned and they couldn’t believe what they saw.

Rice? Chicken soup? Was this New Year’s? No. Even during New Year’s, they didn’t get to eat this well. This was rice! And chicken soup! And there was so much meat in the soup.

The four boys looked up at Lu Jiao then turned to look at Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin’s eyes were narrowed as he gloomily stared at Lu Jiao. Just what was this woman planning?

There was no way Xie Yunjin would believe that this woman had changed. How could someone’s core traits change? So this woman must be up to something.

Could it be that the good food was used to numb them so that when the opportunity came, she could poison them?

Xie Yunjin felt a rush of hatred in his heart as he gawked at Lu Jiao in disgust, “Just what are you doing? You want to poison us so you can escape?”

Xie Yunjin’s words scared the four little boys and their expressions changed. The four of them flew to the head of the bed.

Lu Jiao had no energy for this. This situation was difficult to smooth out. However, no matter how hard it was, she had to try.

“Xie Yunjin, what’s wrong with you? I give you good food yet you call me a bad person? If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have cooked. Poison? I sure want to poison you all. But where do I get poison from?”

Lu Jiao leaned over angrily and spooned out some rice. She shoved it in her mouth, then drank from the soup bowl.

“Did I die from poison?”

Then, furious, she left the room. At the door, she ran into Xie Erzhu, who had brought taro and fish soup.

Lu Jiao glared at him and walked out. Xie Erzhu retreated to the side to let her through. He never dared to provoke this sister-in-law. She was some character.

After Lu Jiao left, Xie Yunjin said to the four little ones, “Go eat then.”

If Lu Jiao dared to hurt these four boys, he would die himself before he let her escape. He would skin her alive and make her regret her life.

The four little ones heard their dad and said nicely, “Daddy, you eat too.”

Xie Yunjin nodded and asked Xie Erzhu to come in and feed him.

Xie Erzhu saw the rice and soup and was very surprised, “Sister-in-law killed the hen? That’s the right thing to do. Your health isn’t great so you need the nutrition.”

Xie Erzhu placed the taro and fish soup onto the table and poured a bowl to feed Xie Yunjin.

Towards Lu Jiao’s behavior, Xie Erzhu was very confused. He had always thought that Xie Yunjin was smart so he couldn’t help but to mumble.

“Third brother, what’s up with the sister-in-law?”

Xie Yunjin’s dark eyes were brewing a storm as he said in a low voice, “She must be plotting something.”

It wouldn’t surprise him if she was getting them to put their guards down by giving them good food. Then, once their guards were down, she would poison them and run away.

Logically, Lu Jiao wouldn’t dare to do that. Because she would be executed if she poisoned her husband and her children. However, that woman was as stupid as a pig and she would never think of that.

Regardless, Xie Yunjin had no intention of giving her the opportunity to succeed!
