Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 251 The Mad Couple 15

Ji Xiaosong took the storeroom key and walked briskly to the front yard. From afar, she saw Wu Chufeng standing under a tree, holding a book in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

He just locked up Wu Wanqing, Xiao Mumu, and the others, and even sent people to brainwash them.

Now I'm thinking about how to deal with the remaining scoundrels in the Wu family.

Wang Cuihua's two sons were the first to be affected, but they are still at the academy and cannot be disturbed.

Ji Xiaosong walked over with a smile, waving the keys in her hand, her tone tinged with smugness:

"Look, what is this?"

Wu Chufeng looked up, saw the key in Ji Xiaosong's hand, raised an eyebrow, and said with a hint of teasing:

"Hey, isn't this the warehouse key? How did you get your hands on it?"

“I got this through my own abilities! Aunt Wang was trying to run away with her gold, silver and valuables, but I stopped her. I had the steward take inventory of all her things, put them back in the storeroom, and also get the keys.”

Wu Chufeng took the storeroom key, weighed it in his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, his eyes filled with approval.

"Well done! I knew you were capable from the start, and you really are!"

Ji Xiaosong recalled that when Wu Daniu was around, Wu Chufeng said that she was the wife he had chosen. So she said casually, "You just said that you considered me your wife. I'll take that as an excuse you made to make me watch the show."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chufeng's smile faded slightly, and his gaze became serious.

He put down the book in his hand, looked directly at Ji Xiaosong, and said in a calm tone, "Xiaosong, do you think I'm joking?"

Ji Xiaosong was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

She blinked, her tone tinged with doubt: "But...why me? I'm just a country girl, with no family background or education. You're the eldest son of the Wu family, the future head of the family, why would you choose me?"

"The future head of the Wu family? Ha, that might not be my turn. Wu Daniu married three wives. His first wife gave birth to Wu Wanqing, but he went to war less than two years later. In those days, there were many refugees, and Wu Wanqing wandered around with her mother."

Wu Chufeng continued, "Back then, Wu Daniu was in the army and had risen to the rank of centurion. He never thought about going back to his first wife, thinking that she and my mother wouldn't survive in such a chaotic world, so he married my mother. Not two years after my mother gave birth to me, he went to fight in other places."

“My mother died when I was three years old. Before she died, she entrusted me to my uncles. My aunts didn’t want to spend money on me, so they gave me away several times.”

"As far back as I can remember, I lived in a cave every day, finding my own food. When I had no clothes, I simply tied leaves and dry grass to my body..."

Ji Xiaosong listened, somewhat incredulous.

How old were you back then?

"I was about four or five years old. Even the tigers and wolves in the mountains didn't eat me. Heaven spared me and let me live."

When Wu Chufeng talked about these things, he seemed nonchalant, as if those past events were trivial matters.

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Ji Xiaosong's face, his eyes softening.

She sighed softly, her tone tinged with emotion: "Songsong, do you know? The days I spent living in the mountains when I was a child were tough, but they taught me a lot. I learned how to survive in dire straits, and how to tell who is truly good to me and who is just pretending."

Ji Xiaosong listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "And then what happened? How did you get back to the Wu family?"

Wu Chufeng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of coldness:

"Later, Wu Daniu finally remembered me, his son, and sent someone to bring me back to the Wu family. But by then, he had already married Wang Cuihua and had two sons. Wang Cuihua treated me very well in front of others, but she abused me to the extreme in private."

Upon hearing this, a pang of heartache flashed in Ji Xiaosong's eyes: "So you had such a hard childhood too..."

Wu Chufeng shook his head, his tone tinged with self-deprecation:

"Whether it was tough or not, it's all in the past. Besides, when I had a little more ability later, I also got some benefits for myself, so that Wang Cuihua could no longer control me."

As he said this, his gaze returned to Ji Xiaosong's face, and his tone became serious:

“Songsong, I chose you not because of your family background or your talents. I chose you because you are suitable. You don’t have a powerful family, but you are brave and capable.”

"Has the ability?"

Ji Xiaosong was completely dumbfounded. "What strength do I have? How come I don't know?"

"You dared to storm a first-rank general's mansion all by yourself. In my time with you, you showed no fear or hesitation, and you were always poised and confident in everything you did. You couldn't have done this if you didn't have enough confidence and strength. This can't be faked; it must be because no one can do anything to you."

After hearing Wu Chufeng's words, Ji Xiaosong was stunned for a while, then couldn't help but laugh, her eyes filled with surprise and helplessness:

"Your analysis is too... too outrageous! What confidence or strength do I have? I'm just a country girl, I'm just a little bold."

Wu Chufeng shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of certainty:

“No, Xiao Song, you underestimate yourself. You dared to break into a first-rank general's mansion all by yourself, and you were able to handle a cunning person like Wang Cuihua with ease, even managing to get the storeroom key from her. That’s not something you can do just by being bold.”

Ji Xiaosong blinked, her tone slightly teasing:

"So, according to you, I must be a hidden master?"

Wu Chufeng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness:

“I don’t know if you’re a master or not, but I do know that you’re definitely not an ordinary country girl. You have courage, you have wisdom, and more importantly, you have a heart that doesn’t give up easily. You are exactly what I need.”

Since things had come to this point, Ji Xiaosong no longer refused.

Anyway, Wu Chufeng is the husband she plans to find in this life, so she might as well just let nature take its course.

As for what other plans he might have, that's not important; she'll handle them one by one.

"Alright, since you're going to marry me, all the proper etiquette is essential. I'll be waiting for you to come with the formalities of marriage."

Upon hearing her answer, Wu Chufeng smiled with satisfaction.

He gently squeezed Ji Xiaosong's hand, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing:

"Shouldn't we go move the storeroom now? And while we're at it, pull up all of Aunt Wang's flowers and plants and plant crops instead?"

Ji Xiaosong nodded with a smile, her tone slightly mischievous:

"Of course! But we need to find a suitable reason, lest Aunt Wang realizes what's going on and causes some trouble."

“I’ve already thought of a reason. We’ll say that the warehouse is old and in disrepair, and the roof is leaking. We’re afraid that everything inside will be ruined by the rain, so we have to move to a new warehouse as soon as possible. As for the flowers and plants, we’ll say that the Wu family is now trying to be thrifty and grow some crops to be self-sufficient, so as not to be accused of being extravagant and wasteful.”

“Your reasoning is not bad. However, we need to act quickly, lest Aunt Wang realizes what’s going on and causes some trouble.”

"Don't worry, with you here, Aunt Wang won't be able to cause any trouble."
