Series: After the Twin Husbands Swapped Lives

Before dawn, Lu Yang finished packing two trays of tofu. In the yard, he lit a dim yellow lantern and used its faint light to prepare fodder mixed with warm soybean residue for the family’s old mule, affectionately named “Stubborn Donkey.” Stubborn Donkey was fond of him. As soon as Lu Yang approached, the mule…

Madam Lu immediately shifted her attention, mumbling to herself. Lu Yang didn’t need to listen closely to know that she was distressed about recent expenses. She blamed Old Man Chen for not speaking up sooner—if he had, they could’ve made a grand display and secured three marriage alliances in one go. Now that would’ve been…

What’s the asking price? Old Man Chen widened his eyes and pretended to be annoyed. “What kind of question is that? Do you think I’d cheat you?” Lu Yang silently listened, inwardly scoffing: Yes, cheating the villagers is exactly what you’re doing. Then, he heard Old Man Chen lower his voice and warn him, “Once…

“Are you feeling unwell?” Xie Yan’s eyes shifted slightly as if he had been pulled back from his wandering thoughts. He shook his head. “No.” Lu Liu asked again, “Then do you have something you want to tell me?” Xie Yan opened his mouth, hesitated, and then just shook his head again. “It’s useless to…

Lu Yang had been staring at the steamed bun stall for quite a while. He also saw Lu Liu go and buy something. The young man carefully counted his copper coins—twelve in total—counting them three times. It was obvious he wasn’t from a wealthy family. If he wasn’t rich, that meant he was poor. Lu…

He told Lu Yang not to look anymore. “It’s just two arms and two legs, nothing different!” The Lu family had little land, and someone had to stay home to watch the house. Lu Liu took turns with his father to help in the fields. He had never done heavy farm work, so while he…

That one glance made him notice the footprint on Lu Liu’s shoe. The imprint was deep—whoever had stepped on it had done so with great force. Judging by the marks along the edges, they had even twisted their foot intentionally. Who did it? Li Feng didn’t know. After finishing cutting up the lamb and selling…

Lu Erbao had no idea that the child in front of him had been swapped out. He said to Lu Yang, “That Xie family kid wanted to apologize to you earlier. He went out looking for you but couldn’t find you. Since they didn’t have much else to say and were just standing around making…

Lu Liu was delighted as he watched Li Feng carry all those large and small bags. When Old Chen called him over to help, he rubbed his face to suppress his laughter, then steadied Old Chen. Thinking about his brother’s personality, he tried his best to sound fierce and said, “Look at what you did!…

Lu Liu: “……” He didn’t even know where the soybean dregs were. But he had heard from his older brother that this was a very, very, very important matter. The Chen family always maintained a good reputation outside, so when it came to turning people down, his brother was the one who handled it. If…

Wang Fengnian saw how smoothly he calculated accounts and how decisive he was in conversation. He couldn’t help but look toward Lu Erbao. Lu Erbao recounted the encounter with the Xie family’s mother and son at the market today. Like Lu Erbao, Wang Fengnian was left speechless. But since they were at home, with the…

Usually, if you don’t sweep the floor thoroughly, the stains remain. Things like feces or blood are never a good omen. Lu Yang used an iron shovel to scrape off the top layer of soil and filled the small vegetable garden by the wall with it. All the chickens had been sold, and since there…

He couldn’t care less about appearances now. How could they just take one trip around the village? Chenjiawan and Lujia Village were three miles apart. To get from Chenjiawan to Lizhai, you naturally passed by Lujia Village on the official road. If they took another lap, wouldn’t he just end up back home? Old Man…

Lu Liu blushed, his cheeks turning rosy. “It’s about serving a man in bed, making him comfortable.” Lu Sanfeng asked, “And then what?” Lu Liu also waited for the answer. What exactly should he do next to get pregnant sooner? Lu Sanfeng was so exasperated she laughed. “You’ve lived in the streets for so many…

Xie Yan’s tone was calm: “If he wants to, he can decide.” This response made the entire family nervous. Inside, Miao Qing whispered to Lu Yang, “You’re usually soft-hearted. How are you supposed to handle those wolf-like relatives?” Lu Yang was satisfied with the answer, but the Lu family was not. They thought Xie Yan…

Someone beside them chimed in, “Exactly! Who does that? Just listen to me!” He yanked off a piece of cloth and draped it over Xie Yan’s head. “Come on, guess which one’s your husband!” Xie Yan held Lu Yang’s hand tightly while the others kept spewing nonsense. “Better guess right! If you grab the wrong…

The trip to the Li family’s home went smoothly. When they arrived at the gate, Li Feng carried Lu Liu out of the carriage. Lu Liu’s face burned with embarrassment, and his hands grew hot as Li Feng held them, guiding him inside for the wedding ceremony. His hands were so warm that even Li…

Sister-in-law Chen lowered her voice and said, “There’s something off. A couple of days ago, Brother Yang was sick, and the Chen family was all up in arms. From what I heard, it sounded like there was no one around to do the chores, so it turned into a mess.” The ones doing the housework…

The two chickens sent as ransom were still frightened, clucking nervously in the corner. Listening to the chickens, sipping chicken soup, and basking in the admiring gaze of the man beside him, Lu Yang sat up straight, feeling utterly smug. The soup had been prepared by a villager at Xie Yan’s request—Lu Lin, the younger…

Xie Yan thought he shouldn’t laugh, but he just couldn’t help it. When he laughed, the teasing undertone in his words vanished completely. Lu Yang huffed, “What are you laughing at? You scholars love using all sorts of fancy words to cover things up.” Xie Yan wasn’t sure where he had picked that up from.…
