Three days later.
At sunrise.
Jiang Feng had just woken up and was about to change his clothes.
Wu Zetian walked in as if nothing had happened and stood behind him openly.
She thought that she had done it very discreetly and was pleased with herself.
In the dream, Jiang Feng's body had not fully grown.
However, Wu Zetian still could not get tired of looking at it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
After reading it, Wu Zetian walked to the rice jar with a burning body and put down the copper coin in her hand.
Counting carefully, there were a total of ten copper coins.
During these three days, she would put down ten copper coins each time.
From beginning to end, she had placed 36 copper coins.
"When tomorrow comes, zhen will personally come over to matchmake you. I must marry you! I'll make you my man in advance!"
Wu Zetian thought firmly.
Wu Zetian looked at it lovingly for a while before reluctantly leaving.
She was going to decorate the wedding room today and would be able to use it in two days.
"Zhen doesn't believe it! The Jiang Feng in the dream was pure and innocent, and Xiao Yu did not appear. I will definitely win the heart of a beautiful man!”
Wu Zetian smiled confidently.
Inside the house.
Jiang Feng walked in front of the rice vat and reached out to pick up the copper coins, putting them into a white cloth bag.
The surplus grain from the past few days had been used up, including the fruits in the fields.
……
Outside the door.
Jiang Feng walked to the door.
He slowly squatted down and placed a sweet potato beside Empress Lu's hand.
"Granny, there's only one sweet potato for breakfast. I need to find something to do and earn some money to make a living.”
Jiang Feng said softly.
Empress Lu ate the sweet potato unhurriedly. She had already learned how to peel the skin, unlike a few days ago when she swallowed it whole.
She was still stubborn and insisted on staying at the door. Other than eating and drinking, she would not accept any good intentions from Jiang Feng.
But compared to a few days ago.
Empress Lu would take the initiative to speak and chat with him about daily life. She would not make things difficult for him, and her words were less harsh.
Of course, it was not gentle.
However, their relationship had changed from hatred to neutrality, leaning towards friendship.
These changes were imperceptible.
"Jiang Feng, why did you wake up earlier than usual?”
Empress Lu casually asked. Although her tone was stiff, it was barely considered a greeting.
"Go to the market earlier today and see if you can find a laborer to earn a few more copper coins.”
Jiang Feng turned to look at her, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. However, his eyes could not hide the deep fatigue in them.
It looked like a straw that was about to break.
"Jiang Feng, don't you have dozens of copper coins in your white pouch? It's better for you to spend it than toil all day. You're young and beautiful. You wake up early and sleep late every day to take care of me and your sister. It's time for you to relax and enjoy yourself.”
Empress Lu advised him with a heartache, pretending to follow the sound and gently hugging him in her arms.
She hugged Jiang Feng and gently touched his cheek.
Compared to a few days ago, his face looked even rougher.
Jiang Feng shook his head and slowly took out a cloth bag.
"Granny, I know very well that every night, you would go into the house and put the copper coins into the rice jar. But you're old and we're not related. I can't take this money.”
As he spoke, Jiang Feng picked up the white cloth bag and shook it, making a crisp sound of copper coins clashing against each other.
"Granny, I have to go to work. If I stay any later, I won't be taking in any more people…I'll buy two eggs tonight and make one for granny to try.”
Jiang Feng had a serious expression on his face as he was about to place the money pouch in Empress Lu's hands…
The next moment, Empress Lu couldn't hold it in any longer. Her defenses were shattered, and her entire body trembled.
Upon closer inspection, two streams of tears flowed down from her empty eye sockets and slowly fell onto the weeds on the ground.
"Son, mother has let you down. I shouldn't have let Saint Nun test you, and I shouldn't have secretly called you a wanderer and Homme Fatale. Feng 'er, quickly agree to Imperial Mother's request and forgive Imperial Mother, alright?”
Jiang Feng looked confused, and his mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say.
"Feng 'er, after the dream ends, mother will announce to the world that you are my son.”
Empress Lu slowly knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying.
Jiang Feng sighed slightly, and his eyes started to redden.
But he couldn't stop acting at this time. What if Empress Lu found out that he was acting?
In an instant, her emotions fluctuated greatly, and it was possible that she would go completely crazy!
"Mother…Mother, don't cry. Put the money bag away first. I really have to go to the market.”
Jiang Feng said slowly, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Empress Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and an ugly smile appeared on her face.
She knew that her words and emotions just now were too strange, as if she had lost her mind.
Jiang Feng did not know that he was in a dream.
"Feng 'er, take this money. It's useless for an old woman like me to have money.”
Empress Lu said slowly as she thought about how to make Jiang Feng accept the money.
Suddenly.
Footsteps sounded from not far away. Two tall figures appeared and quickly walked in front of the two of them.
"Ah Er! Look at the money bag in that kid's hand! I'm afraid there are dozens of copper coins!"
The two of them did not bother to hide their footsteps.
When they saw the money bag in Jiang Feng's hand, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their expressions became even more vicious.

It would be updated before midnight.
