Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Bai Sheng's plan, looking at her.
Bai Sheng didn't understand what Lu Ye was laughing about. Whether or not Hua Hua and Qing Feng should know about the space was a serious matter; what was so funny about it?
Lu Ye finally stopped laughing. He reached out and pinched Bai Sheng's cheek, saying gently, "Silly girl, as long as Heng Heng stays in the capital, I can enter and exit the space anytime. We can see each other every day!"
Bai Sheng smacked her forehead. "Oh, my brain! I completely forgot. Once we're in the capital, as long as Heng Heng doesn't enter the space, it can let you in and out freely with its thoughts. We can still see each other every day."
"Yes, my silly girl!" Lu Ye smiled again.
Bai Sheng made a rueful face and mumbled, "Pregnancy really makes one foolish for three years. Husband, I feel like I've become so stupid, even dumber than Heng Heng."
In the space, Heng Heng thought: Master, are you misunderstanding something? This Heng is very smart!
"Remember, no matter what you become, I will love you dearly," Lu Ye said with a smile, pulling Bai Sheng into his arms.
"If I become an idiot, or an ugly woman, will you still love me?"
"I will love you! I love you no matter what," Lu Ye said, gently patting her back.
Bai Sheng also hugged Lu Ye tightly and pouted playfully. "Husband, I'll tell Heng Heng not to enter the space in the capital unless it's an emergency. You must take good care of it."
"Don't worry, I will," Lu Ye replied softly.
"However, for your convenience, I've decided to tell Hua Hua about the space, only her. Yun and Yu are too young to know. This way, when you enter and exit the space in the capital, Hua Hua can cover for you," Bai Sheng said.
Lu Ye dotingly stroked her head. "That's fine. I'll call her in now."
Lu Hua was studying arithmetic with Ga Mei in her room. Hearing her elder brother say her sister-in-law was calling her, she put down her brush and walked towards Bai Sheng's room.
After Lu Hua entered the room, Lu Ye and Bai Sheng closed the door.
Bai Sheng walked over, took her hand, and explained everything to Lu Hua, this way and that way.
Lu Hua didn't seem as surprised as Lu Ye and Bai Sheng had imagined.
In fact, from the very beginning, ever since her sister-in-law woke up after her "coma," she and her two younger brothers had sensed that strange things were happening in the house.
Most of these strange occurrences were related to her sister-in-law.
Even though there was nothing in the house, their sister-in-law could always produce water out of nowhere for them to drink, and that water was exceptionally delicious, much better than the well water they later dug. Their sister-in-law said the water was "bought" by their elder brother, but their elder brother had no money on him, and often, their elder brother hadn't even gone out.
Every time they went to town and bought many things, they would only bring a few items back home. Yet, upon arriving home, the rest of the items would suddenly appear.
And once, their sister-in-law had suddenly appeared and disappeared; she had seen it with her own eyes.
Despite the strangeness, Lu Hua and her two younger brothers desperately wanted to ask what was going on, but their elder brother had instructed them not to ask or speak about any strange things they encountered, as long as they had food and drink.
So, the three siblings obediently asked nothing and said nothing, pretending to be blind and deaf many times.
Now, Lu Hua finally knew the truth. It turned out that when their sister-in-law had fainted, she had met an old immortal in her dream, and the immortal had given her something called a space.
To explain what the space was more clearly, Bai Sheng led Lu Hua in and out of it many times.
Lu Hua was truly shocked when she saw the various items in the space.
No wonder they always had water to drink even before they had a well, and the vegetables, fruits, chicken, rabbit meat, and grains they ate so often were not "bought."
Moreover, dark clouds, lightning, heavy rain, snow, and hail were all inside the space! She had thought they often disappeared because they went to the desert to forage on their own.
There were even seven to eight hundred horses of various sizes in the space! Their sister-in-law actually said these horses were "plucked" by her and her elder brother from the Daxia Kingdom's military camp when they were in the Qinghuang Kingdom!
According to Yang Ming Ge, inferior horses in town cost thirty to forty taels each. How much would their horses be worth?
Looking at everything before her, Lu Hua felt as if she were dreaming. She pinched herself hard, and the pain made her gasp.
"Silly girl, this is all real, not a dream," Bai Sheng said, patting Lu Hua's shoulder.
Lu Hua looked at Bai Sheng and felt an inexpressible gratitude. "Sister-in-law, I think my brother meeting you is truly his good fortune. No, all four of us siblings, and the people of Hongshu Po, are very fortunate to have met you!"
Bai Sheng smiled. "I am also very fortunate to have met your brother. And you, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu, you've given me a warm home."
Lu Hua's eyes welled up. "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, we might have already died. I will obey you for the rest of my life. If you need me to do anything, just say the word, and I will work hard to do it well."
"Silly child, we are a family. Don't speak so formally. From now on, no matter what happens, we will always protect each other," Bai Sheng said, taking Lu Hua's hand.
"Mm!" Lu Hua pursed her lips, tears glistening in her eyes.
They came out of the space. Lu Ye pulled Lu Hua aside and sternly instructed, "Xiao Hua, you must not reveal even a single word about your sister-in-law's space to anyone, not even Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu. They are too young; if they accidentally blab, your sister-in-law could be in danger. Some malicious people might mistake your sister-in-law for a monster and arrest her. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Hua nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, brother. I know how to protect my sister-in-law. When we get to the capital, I will cover for you."
Only then did Lu Ye pat his sister's head and smile. "You must seize this opportunity your sister-in-law has given you. When we get to the capital, observe more, learn more, be careful and cautious in everything, and protect yourself. If I enter the space, I will leave Heng Heng with you. You must protect it. In times of danger, it will naturally take you into the space."
"Mm, brother, I know." Lu Hua let out a long sigh of relief.
Everything in the capital was unknown. Although Lu Hua was very nervous, she was also very eager.
She kept encouraging herself in her heart. She could do it, she definitely could.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to depart for the capital.
Lu Hua and the other three had their luggage ready, and everyone from Hongshu Po came out to see them off.
Ga Mei's father was in tears, not out of worry for Ga Mei's safety on the long journey, but out of overwhelming excitement. He had lived most of his life, and the farthest he had been was Tianshui Town. For his daughter to go to the capital at thirteen to handle matters for the Madam was truly bringing honor to their ancestors.
He had lived his life true to his ancestors!
As for Ga Mei's safety, he completely trusted the arrangements made by his elder uncle and his madam.
At this moment, he was shouting, instructing Ga Mei to handle matters for the Madam properly, or else he would break her legs.
Ga Mei's heart had already flown away. She kept nodding, placating her father. "I know, I know."
Qian Zhao Di watched Sun Ga Mei sitting in the carriage, biting her lower lip.
