Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 236 Things are different now

When Wen Shubai thought of the scene in his dream, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. It was a pity that the time he spent with her was too short. However, even if it was only that moment in the dream, it was enough to comfort his lovesickness.

He couldn't help but pick up the five-colored stone hidden under his pillow. He had asked Yu Shui to find it when he saw the soul of Chu Zhiyan appear.

But after such a long time, that person still didn't show up, which made him wonder if what he saw that day was just an illusion.

Wen Shubai got off the bed and suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He tried hard to maintain his body balance. After a while, everything in front of him slowly became clear.

This time, using the dream-entering technique caused greater damage to his body than ever before. I don’t know if it’s because she’s pregnant. It seems that he can’t use it easily in the future.

Otherwise, if something happens to his body when his soul leaves his body, and his soul cannot return to his body in time, he might become a wandering ghost and never see her again.

……

In a dilapidated house in the suburbs.

The house was very dilapidated, but the place where the baby girl was lying was clean. There was a clean mat under her body. Her face was rosy, as if someone wiped her face every day. Her face was very clean.

Suddenly, the baby girl cried incessantly, and her body felt hot and cold at times. This feeling made her, who could not speak yet, feel uncomfortable, so she could only cry at the top of her lungs.

But the strange thing was that although there was no wound on her body, she cried so hard that the sound was heartbreaking.

A woman with her hair wrapped in cloth came in hurriedly.

The originally clean and white hands turned yellow due to labor, no longer as they used to be.

"Xiao Shui?"

The woman heard the baby girl crying and quickly picked her up.

"I've already fed him and changed his diaper, why is he still crying? He was fine just now."

The woman's voice was filled with confusion as she checked on the baby girl.

She untied the quilt that wrapped the baby girl. The baby girl's legs were kicking in the air. She turned the baby girl over and checked her back.

The baby girl was still crying. She was the older sister of the twins and had a connection with the little princess in the palace.

After thinking about it, the woman decided to spend some money to hire a doctor for her child.

After being driven out of the capital, she settled in Jiangzhou, not far from the capital.

Now she is no longer the fourth princess who had everything handed to her, but just an ordinary person.

In the past, she always felt that she was born noble, and that everyone else was inferior and their lives were worthless.

But when she really left the palace, she found out that rice cost money, drinking water cost money, and seeing a doctor when she was sick cost money. In short, nothing could be done without money.

Wen Ruozhi wrapped Xiaoshui in the quilt again to prevent any wind from getting in, then picked up Xiaoshui and walked out in a hurry.

Outside the dilapidated house, there was actually a vegetable garden. Who would have thought that the once noble Fourth Princess would actually grow vegetables herself for a living.

She used the alias Jiang Ruo in Jiangzhou and lived alone with her baby girl.

Arriving at the doctor's house, Wen Ruozhi said anxiously, "Doctor, please take a look at my child. Is she sick? She has been crying all the time, and I don't see anything wrong with her."

The doctor took the child from her arms, first felt her forehead, and then continued to take her pulse.

"Strange."

Even the doctor felt puzzled.

She felt the girl's pulse but found nothing abnormal.

But the child's red face from crying proved that she was not feeling well at the moment.

The doctor continued to examine her.

Wen Ruozhi saw that the doctor couldn't explain the problem after examining it for a long time, and she became a little angry.

"You're a quack. We won't see you anymore."

She didn't believe that Jiangzhou was so big that she couldn't find another doctor to treat Xiaoshui.

So, before the doctor could say anything, Wen Ruozhi picked up Xiaoshui and hurried out to visit other doctors' homes to treat Xiaoshui.

Came to the second home.

The doctor's words were exactly the same as the previous one.

"Is the child hungry? She looks fine and doesn't look sick."

"But I've already fed her."

Maybe she was tired of crying, so she stopped crying.

But usually she would fall asleep after eating, but now she kept her eyes open, and her face looked a little red because she had been crying.

Wen Ruozhi went to the third and fourth...

Her legs were sore from walking all day, but the doctors said Xiaoshui was not sick.

Wen Ruozhi suddenly thought of something.

She heard that children can see things that adults cannot see. Could it be that Xiaoshui was possessed by an evil spirit?

When this thought came to her mind, she shuddered with fear.

But no matter what, we can only try our best to save the situation.

Wen Ruozhi came to the home of a woman who claimed to be a fortune teller. As soon as the fortune teller saw Xiaoshui, she said in a mysterious voice, "In my opinion, this child is not clean!"

"What to do?"

The witch rolled her eyes and said, "Your child is possessed by an evil spirit and needs to be exorcised. Wait until the moon rises tonight, and I will exorcise it for her."

"Okay, I'll come back in the evening."

This witch is famous in the surrounding area, so Wen Ruzhi believes in her so much.

As soon as it got dark in the evening, Wen Ruozhi couldn't wait to bring Xiaoshui over.

The witch held up a finger and said, "One tael of silver, no bargaining."

Wen Ruozhi gritted her teeth and took out some small change and copper coins.

The fortune teller counted everything and frowned.

"It's still a few cents short."

"That's all I have."

The witch said with disdain, "If the money is not enough, the gods won't feel your sincerity and probably won't show their power."

"Please exorcise the child first, and I'll give you the rest later, okay?"

If it was the fourth princess in the past, she could easily come up with not only one tael of silver, but even a hundred taels.

But now, every penny was earned by herself.

She pulled carts and carried manure for others, and even pawned her jewelry to buy goat milk for her children.

Now she can only feed her baby a mixture of rice soup and goat milk, but fortunately Xiaoshui has always been very healthy.

The witch put the money Wen Ruozhi took out into her pocket, and then asked Wen Ruozhi to put the child on the ground.

She held a rusty sword in her hand and muttered to herself.

"Devils and demons, please leave now... Don't disturb this innocent child..."

Her voice was trembling, and for authenticity, she pretended to fight the ghost.

"I am here today, so don't harm a hair on my child, or I will make sure you don't rest in peace in your next life."

After an incense stick of time had passed, the witch put down the broken sword and said complacently, "With me here, nothing will go wrong."

Xiao Shui on the ground: "Wow——"

The fortune teller looked a little embarrassed.

Xiaoshui was frightened and didn't dare to make a sound, but now she started crying again.
