Yu Ze’s breath hitched, and his originally somber face suddenly changed, panic tinting his eyes, “Muniang, don’t be like this.”
Muniang let out a self-deprecating chuckle, “Do I not know how little I weigh to you? I don’t even know your world, you’ve never told me anything. Is it because I was never a part of your world to begin with?”
Yu Ze panicked. For so many years, even when enemies secretly harmed him and forced him into a corner, he never frowned; yet now, he was like a clueless child, “Muniang, there are some things I didn’t tell you because I wanted to break free and didn’t want to drag you into such chaos. You’ve always had your aspirations, your life; I didn’t want to disrupt your pace. These are all things of the past; I don’t want to dwell on them anymore. I just want to start over and live a good life with you in a place far from those conflicts. It’s that simple, what I desire.”
“But the reality isn’t that simple, is it? Even if you didn’t tell me, didn’t I still get involved? Even if you want to escape those conflicts, doesn’t trouble still come knocking on our door? You know very well why He Suxue came here.”
“Muniang, I will take care of He Suxue’s matter, and once I send her back this time, I will immediately have her parents marry her off to someone else. You can be as angry with me as you want, but you can’t say you don’t want me, because I absolutely won’t allow it.”
Muniang’s eyes reddened, “Then let’s talk about this once you have really taken care of her. I’ve never felt as suffocated as I have these past few days in my whole life. I’ve had enough of these days. If you can’t make me happy, at least don’t let me feel humiliated because of you. I’m very selfish, I can’t stand such humiliation. If it really has to be this way, I’d rather cut the Gordian knot for some peace.”
Muniang didn’t want to say any more, “You go out. Don’t make a fuss that mother notices and worries. Take that woman with you today; otherwise, I’ll have someone throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves later. I don’t want to see her.”
Yu Ze’s fists tightened and then relaxed within his sleeves, unsure of what to say. He knew Muniang had suffered enough these past few days, and she never liked to show her suffering to others. Her outburst today was also forced upon her by him.
Jin Feng had prepared the carriage. He Suxue’s face was swollen from being hit; her once beautiful face was now too horrible to look at, with blood still showing at the corners of her mouth. Yu Ze looked grim. Initially, she wanted to cry and complain, but seeing his imposing aura, she was somewhat scared and didn’t dare to speak.

“Get in the carriage, I’ll take you to the town to stay in an inn,” Yu Ze said in a deep voice.
He Suxue hurriedly asked, “Are you sending me back to the capital?”
Yu Ze gave her a sidelong glance, “Jin Feng will personally escort you back tomorrow.”
He Suxue’s eyes dimmed instantly, “But I encountered bandits when I came here. What if something happens again on the road? Would you please take me back?”
Yu Ze said coldly, “You even wanted to commit suicide; being killed by bandits shouldn’t matter much to you, should it?”
He Suxue bit her lip, a face full of resentment and indignation, “Are you really going to be so ruthless to me?”
“Jin Feng’s martial skills are decent, he’s more than enough to protect you, nothing will go wrong,” Yu Ze was getting impatient, “Get in the carriage quickly!”
Startled, He Suxue shivered and, regardless of her unwillingness, she had no choice but to get into the carriage. Yu Ze leapt up in a single bound, joining Jin Feng atop the carriage, but he did not go inside. Instead, he sat at the front with Jin Feng, driving the horses.
He Suxue felt incredibly wronged. She had been beaten so badly by Qiao Muniang, and her stomach still hurt. He had been complicit in her suffering and now didn’t even have a single word of concern for her. They had grown up together, knew each other so well, and now, to avoid any appearance of impropriety, he chose to sit outside the carriage deliberately.
As Jin Feng drove the carriage out of the village, the whole place had already erupted into chaos. Rumors were flying that Muniang had become someone’s concubine, and equally noisy were the speculations about Yu Ze’s social standing.
“Hey, haven’t you heard? His legal wife is from a distinguished family, I bet her background is nothing like our humble homes!”
“Exactly, just look at his style, a single earring he wears could buy our whole year’s grain. That’s what a real lady of high birth is like. Compared to Qiao Muniang, she’s just pitifully shabby. You see, for men, even if they stray, the legal wife is irreplaceable, not like those mistresses.”
“I’ve watched Muniang grow up, she was always so honest before, how could she do something like this? Though we common folks might be poor, we still have our pride. And now she’s become a shameful concubine, I used to like that girl, but now I think she’s lost face for our village.”
“Exactly, from now on, when we go out, people will surely ask, ‘Isn’t there a girl from your village who became someone’s concubine?'”
Mrs. Ji couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this, saying how well that girl was living now, apparently enjoying the life of disgrace. She snorted and said, “She’s living in luxury for now, just because he still fancies her a bit. Women like her are like rootless weeds, once he tires of her, she will just be a fallen woman, a pair of worn shoes—who would want that? I just saw him sending that noble young lady out of the village, maybe he’s about to pack up his legitimate wife and leave, ah, the good days for her are over!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but frown. It wasn’t so much about Muniang, but that Mrs. Ji’s words were just too malicious, clearly out of jealousy and spite.
“She is a Qiao after all, you’re defaming her like this, sullying the Qiao family’s name. In-fighting is one thing, but how can you be so shameless in public? Yuanzhen is a Scholar, aren’t you afraid of ruining the Qiao family’s reputation, incurring the Old Master’s wrath?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ji scoffed, “Hey, that girl was already chased out by us, she’s been a disgrace all along. Our Qiao family genealogy doesn’t even include her anymore, why do you keep saying ‘our Qiao family’ as if you’re trying to smear us deliberately? Do you think we’re easy to bully? A bitch like her, our Qiao family would never raise, pah!”
The crowd shook their heads, no longer wanting to argue with this shrew, and went about their conversations.
Upon hearing the rumors outside, Qinghe rushed to find Muniang, panicked, “Muniang, what’s really going on? The outside is filled with ridiculous rumors, how did you suddenly become a concubine? If I weren’t heavily pregnant, I’d tear off those gossips’ faces!”
(I had already agreed to update three to four times a day, and I always have. Why do some think the updates are getting less and less? The night before last, I fell and injured my arm while taking a bath and didn’t take time off. I insisted on three updates; which day was there fewer? Regarding the pricing, all books in the bookstore have unified pricing. My chapters are priced higher because they have more words. Authors have no control over the pricing. I hope my girls won’t abandon me because of this. I can’t finish this story overnight ╭(╯3╰)╮)
