Chapter 240: Chapter 0240: Heartfelt Trust 4_1

Lu Jiang took in his wife’s distressed expression.

"Don’t be afraid." Lu Jiang took her hand, pulling her into his arms and gently stroking her back. "I won’t doubt you because of this, nor do I want to know your secrets. I’m just worried that carrying on like this will only bring you endless trouble."

Feng Qingxue sighed, her chin resting against his chest.

"I...I don’t even know where to begin, I dare not tell anyone else about this, because my experiences are simply too shocking!" Living in the 21st century, she discovered a personal space that allowed her to travel back to over fifty years ago, by reincarnating into another girl with the same name. Such an origin would make anyone curious enough to dissect her directly.

"If you’re not sure how to say it, don’t say it. If it’s a secret, then you knowing is enough. Once two people know, it’s not a secret anymore. It’s easy for the news to be dispersed," Lu Jiang said.

Feng Qingxue was torn.

To tell? Or not to tell?

It was a long time ago when she repeatedly warned herself not to tell anyone her secret, not even her other half.

"Have you ever guessed?" Feng Qingxue suddenly asked.

After pondering, Lu Jiang said, "I have guessed, and there have been many thoughts that have crossed my mind. I just don’t know if my guess is right or wrong. How could you possibly bring back so many supplies after just one trip out? Some of the things are not even available locally. You probably don’t know that even the high-ranking officials in our army and the top leaders in the capital are not living an easy life. If one of the four dishes is scrambled eggs, it’s already an exceptional meal."

Feng Qingxue had a sudden realization.

"So...what is your guess?"

"My guess? Probably just like what Tianzhi mumbled about -- you have a Treasure Box! But that’s too unbelievable, almost like something a fairy would do. I hardly dare to believe my own guess."

Listening to Lu Jiang’s words, Feng Qingxue pursed her lips, "Though it is not exactly right, it’s close."

Lu Jiang was stunned. He heard Feng Qingxue whisper, "No one knows that not long after Xiaoyun and I were kicked out of the house, I nearly starved to death. Xiaoyun was young and didn’t understand. She probably didn’t know her sister was hovering between life and death."

Lu Jiang’s heart ached tremendously, his arms tightening around her, "You must have suffered so much then!"

"Maybe the will to live overpowered everything else. Or perhaps heaven took pity on me. When I woke up, I found that I had a Mustard Seed-sized treasure. Do you understand the meaning of Mustard Seed?" Feng Qingxue still did not dare to tell Lu Jiang the secret of her time travel.

"It’s a term from Buddhism, the Mustard Seed contains Mount Sumeru."

Feng Qingxue nodded, "Correct. I have no idea where the Mustard Seed is hidden. Inside, there are packed resources of multiple types and large amounts, available for me to use at will. Many of them are not even available in our time, but they are harmless to the human body. Of course, the space is not infinite, and the resources are limited. It contains enough for a few dozen people to eat for about twenty or thirty years."

At this point, Feng Qingxue suddenly laughed, "I know. You must have wondered where the jewelry you and my father gifted me went, as well as the Sanxitang calligraphy set. They were not in the chest brought along with the dowry, and they were not in our house either."

After their passionate nights, Lu Jiang would often open the chest to take out clothes for her to change. It was impossible for him not to notice.

Lu Jiang rubbed his head, "I noticed a long time ago, but since you did not intend to tell me, I naturally wouldn’t pry."
