Translator: CokeZero  Editor: Rainystars

Xie Yunjin faked a smile, “Are you sure you never lie?”

Lu Jiao was genuine as she looked back at him, “Yes, I never lie.”

Xie Yunjin gently nodded, as if he believed her. Then, he looked back up and slowly murmured, “Lately, I get the feeling that you are a different person. You are not at all like who she used to be. Could it be….?”

Xie Yunjin suspiciously gawked at Lu Jiao, who tensed up instantly. Could it be that she had been uncareful and did something to reveal her identity? No way. This guy must be bluffing.

She did her best to appear calm and responded in a confused manner, “What are you talking about?”

Despite her best efforts, Xie Yunjin could still see the anxiety in her eyes.

Satisfied, he grinned. Ha, so she enjoyed lying to him. Then he will return the favor for scaring her.

Lu Jiao didn’t want to stay on this topic in case she really does reveal something about herself.

As fast as she could, she changed the subject, “Since the furniture’s been delivered, let’s just use them. We need them anyway. I’ll ask them to put together the bed frame here first, then they can work on the bed frame for the west bedroom.”

Lu Jiao walked closer. She planned to carry Xie Yunjin to the west bedroom until the bed here was ready.

This time, Xie Yunjin was calmer than usual – he was used to this.

Before, he wasn’t used to being carried, but now, he had accepted it.

Not only did he accept his fate, he even extended his arm to hold onto Lu Jiao.

This time, it was Lu Jiao’s turn to be uncomfortable. With her body rigid, she carried Xie Yunjin to the west bedroom.

Her nervousness lifted Xie Yunjin’s mood. Almost caringly, he asked, “What’s wrong with you? Your arms look tense.”

Lu Jiao wanted to drop this guy. He deserved it.

She had to remind herself of his serious injuries in order to stop her urge. Somewhat furious, she almost threw Xie Yunjin onto the bed.

The impact on landing made Xie Yunjin’s ribs hurt. At once, his face paled.

Sadly, Lu Jiao didn’t even acknowledge him and left. She first ordered Lu Gui to take apart the existing bed frame in the east bedroom which only had three legs. Then, she asked him to sweep the room.

Carpenter Chen’s apprentices then moved the parts into the room and started to assemble them.

Other than those three, the villagers who were here for the show also started to help out. As they helped, they chatted with Lu Jiao.”

“Yunjin’s wife, you are so generous. How can you just give away prescriptions to that doctor?”

“You should’ve asked him for money.”

“But, you truly have a good heart.”

“Right, I heard you gave medicine to Erdan, is Erdan okay now?”

Lu Jiao answered to them one by one – she didn’t seem to mind them.

She knew that the news of Xie Yunjin’s soon recovery will only get the villagers to get friendlier and friendlier. After all, Xie Yunjin was a scholar, someone who had hopes of leaving the village and one day would take on an honorable job.

Lu Jiao also didn’t act arrogant. After all, she would one day separate from Xie Yunjin and she would one day have nothing to do with these villagers. She just needed to get through the next two to three months.

The thought of her future separation made Lu Jiao think of the Lu family. Her original plan was to escape back to her mother’s Apricot Flower Village. However, how the Lu family’s been acting made her not want to do that anymore. She had to think of alternatives.

After the boxes, chairs, and table were assembled, the apprentices left. The villagers who helped out also bid their farewells one by one. Lu Jiao gave everyone two to three pieces of candy as a thank you.

Though it wasn’t a lot, the villagers were happy to receive them. They silently thought of Lu Jiao as generous and once again remembered how Lu Jiao divided up the silver she received from Widow Li last time.

She also gave prescriptions to Doctor Qi after she gave free medicine to Er Dan’s family.

This woman truly was different from before. Many people praised her.

Lu Jiao didn’t mind all the chatter as she toured her home happily.

Though her home was old, she had all the furniture she needed now. This place now looked more like a home.

Before, she didn’t buy any furniture because she was afraid of the villagers would blame her for spending money on things other than medicine.

Qi Lei’s gift truly solved a big problem of hers.
