Chapter 901 The Scholar Who Abandoned His Husband and Children 11
When we went to sleep at night, we asked the innkeeper to add a bamboo bed to the room, since there was only one bed and we couldn't sleep together.
Not to mention that her leg was still injured, at this time, apart from her family of sisters, there really wasn't anyone else sleeping in the same bed.
Fortunately, the room was big enough that even with an extra bamboo bed, it wasn't cramped, and there was still room to put a brazier in the middle.
In this weather, we still need to light a fire for warmth at night, as the temperature drops below zero even at midnight.
However, even the best charcoal will produce smoke when burned. It was burning in a ceramic pot without a chimney. Fortunately, the house wasn't very well sealed, otherwise, one would either be choked by the smoke or suffer carbon monoxide poisoning.
Xiao Yun couldn't stay still for long, especially since she had boards strapped to her legs, which was too uncomfortable, so she simply withdrew her soul and entered the space.
After entering the space, I first went to see the panda cub that I had brought in that morning. When I arrived at the place where the panda lived, I found that Xiao Erhei was taking care of the cub.
Then, with a sweep of his divine sense, he realized that Gun Gun and Lao Hei had gone on a date at the beach. They were an old married couple, yet they were still quite romantic.
I don’t know if it’s because of the spiritual energy in the space, but the little one is no longer as weak as before and can’t move. He is raising his pink head, which is not yet open, and suckling at his milk.
The baby bottle was in Xiao Erhei's hand, and it contained spirit goat milk.
"It had already drunk a bottle, took a nap, peed, and then got hungry again. It can really eat."
Xiao Erhei spoke with disdain, but his hands were very gentle, holding the baby bottle in one hand and gently supporting the baby's body with the other.
"Is it male or female?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Damn it, didn't you see it before?" Xiao Erhei glanced at her before replying.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I didn't have time. I saw that it had been abandoned right after it was born, and the temperature outside was quite low, so I quickly brought it in. Since it's a female, you should take good care of it. Maybe it can even be your little wife."
Xiao Er glared at her. "You're really thinking ahead. I'm already an adult. Let alone waiting for it to grow up, it's questionable whether it can even cultivate and transform into human form."
Seeing that he wasn't opposed, Xiao Yun continued, "You don't need to worry about that. My spatial world isn't as sparse in spiritual energy as it used to be. It even has immortal spiritual energy. There are plenty of spiritual fruits and pills too. As long as you guide it through the basics, there won't be any problems. The only concern is that it might not like you when it grows up."
Xiao Erhei rolled his eyes again, then said very seriously, "I'll raise her as my little sister for now, and we'll talk about the future later. Whether we stay together or not depends on fate."
Xiao Yun nodded, "Just handle it yourself..."
After the cub had eaten and drunk its fill, Xiao Yun used the interstellar instrument to carefully examine its body.
This baby is indeed a bit weak, but he is fully developed and there is nothing wrong with his development.
It must be because I was born in winter. The weather was too cold, and I was exposed to the cold as soon as I came out of my mother's womb, which is why my body was so weak before.
The upper realm of her spatial world is like spring all year round, so there's no need to put it in an incubator. As long as it's well-fed and sleeps well, there won't be any problems.
After watching the little brat chat with Xiao Erhei for a while, she went to Tianwaitian to find her men and two children. She spent some time with them and told them about the situation in this world.
Upon hearing that it was a matriarchal world and that the original owner of this body had a husband and son, several men turned to look at her, their eyes filled with envy.
Xiao Yun rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. "This is one of the original owner's wishes, so I definitely have to take good care of her. You guys shouldn't go out into this world, otherwise I'll be too busy taking care of you to properly look after her."
Although having three husbands and four attendants is quite common in this world, this husband is one of the mission objectives, so it's best to proceed with caution.
As for whether she will meet someone who makes her heart flutter again? To be honest, with the few people she already has, she has basically covered all the types, and they are all top-notch in appearance. It is really unlikely that someone in the small world will make her heart flutter.
The reason I don't let them go out is because I'm worried I won't be able to resist showing favoritism. It's not that I'm afraid they'll be jealous of each other. I've already said I'll take good care of their husbands, so I can't hurt their feelings again. What if they die of depression?
In the original owner's memories, her husband was fairly good-looking, considered handsome, but only averagely handsome, not to the point of arousing any desire in him.
Fox Xuan and the others looked a little better when they heard her say that. As long as she wouldn't fall for someone else, that was good. They didn't really want to add any more brothers; there weren't enough to go around.
Yao Yao lost interest in going out when he heard about the matriarchal world. He inherited his mother's domineering personality, and this kind of world was not suitable for him.
Jingyan was eager to try. She had originally wanted to do the mission with her mother, and when she heard that it was a mission where women were respected and that women could marry men and have children with them, she couldn't wait to go out with her mother.
She'll be an adult soon, and then she can find herself a few young men—but only in this world, of course, a few decades will pass in the blink of an eye.
She also wanted to try and make something of herself. Now was the time when she was full of enthusiasm. She had learned so much in the previous world, and she had to have a chance to use it so that her hard work back then would not have been in vain.
When she passes away, she can leave something for her descendants, and perhaps she will be remembered for all time.
Xiao Yun didn't object to her daughter's suggestion. After all, she would be using other people's bodies to go out, and she wouldn't have any cultivation after having a child. Leaving them an inheritance would be a way to fulfill their bond as mother and child.
Just like the children she had in various worlds before, she couldn't take any of them with her except for Yao Yao and Jing Yan, because they only had a lifespan of a few decades, and they wouldn't have much time to accompany them after that.
Moreover, in the end, they will all have many children and grandchildren, with plenty of people to accompany them, so they don't really have any regrets when they pass away.
So we definitely can't let her go out like this; we need to find a suitable body for her.
As for her being reborn as her own daughter, that would have to wait until she and her husband reunite. However, her own little one certainly couldn't wait that long, since it would take at least a decade from pregnancy to birth and then to adulthood.
Jingyan couldn't wait to go out and cause trouble, so she decided to find a ready-made body. Natural childbirth was never as convenient or quick as it could be, and she didn't want to start from infancy again. Once was enough.
Xiao Yun promised to keep an eye out for her and get her a suitable one if she found one.
I chatted with them for a while longer, then, remembering I had to travel the next day, I left.
When I returned to my body, it was around 2 a.m. By then, the charcoal in the brazier had burned through, leaving only heat and no smoke. The smoke in the room had also mostly dissipated.
Feeling that his legs were numb from being squeezed by the wooden board, he simply used his divine sense to loosen the strips of cloth binding the board. Feeling more comfortable, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, Li Gui woke her up. It was just getting light outside and the sun hadn't risen yet. As soon as she opened her eyes, he asked, "Do you want some water or to use the restroom? There's a chamber pot in the room, but the shop assistant will be coming to collect it soon. If you need to use the restroom, you'll have to go to the backyard."
I went to the toilet before going to bed last night and didn't drink any water, so I didn't feel the urge to urinate. So I said, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Li, to pour me a glass of warm water. I'm a little thirsty after waking up."
"Okay, I'll go get a new pot of hot water right away." With that, he picked up the porcelain teapot from the table and went out. At that moment, the waiter was cleaning the chamber pots and spittoons in each room. If you wanted hot water, you either had to wait or go to the kitchen to get it yourself.
There are no two- or three-story buildings in Qilidian Town; they are all single-story houses. This inn is in the style of a courtyard house, with six main rooms as the upper rooms and four side rooms on each side, which are considered medium-sized rooms.
Secondly, there are the rear-facing rooms and the semi-interior courtyard rooms, which are large communal rooms and lower-class rooms.
They stayed in the east wing, which was considered a middle-class room and cost 100 coins a night.
After drinking some water, Li Gui helped her up and put on her cotton coat. The two then went out and greeted the three Chen family members next door, who went to the main hall for breakfast.
The three of them had already gotten up and came out when they heard the noise. Seeing her being helped by Li Gui and limping forward, Chen Jiahui couldn't help but say, "Can you even walk with your leg like that? You just injured yourself, so you should rest here for a couple of days and leave when you're feeling better."
What she didn't say was that the inns here were at least cheaper. Staying for a few more days wouldn't cost much money, whereas in the capital, inns were more than five times more expensive.
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "I'm unfamiliar with this place and can't rest here. Besides, Sister Li has to take people back, and I can't delay her. It would be more troublesome for me to find a car to go to Beijing on my own later."
