Actually, Ning Shu’s guess had been right on the mark. Wen Ruhua had been trying to steal her whistle, but it was mainly so that he could sleep with her.

  When he heard Ning Shu say that she was going to marry He Dahua, he was angry and humiliated. This woman was willing to go so low as marry someone like He Dahua, yet she still viewed him with so much disdain that she didn’t even bother with contempt? It was definitely because He Dahua had influence in this village. This woman cling to power like a mosquito that smelled sh*t.

  As expected of a lowly wretch!

  Wen Ruhua wanted to obtain Bai Qinxiang’s body first. That way, even if Bai Qinxiang married He Dahua, she was nothing but a worn shoe that he had used before. This way, he could get revenge on Bai Qinxiang and humiliated He Dahua.

  However, though Wen Ruhua’s fanciful thoughts were fine, reality turned out to be completely different. How had his heirloom sword ended up in Bai Qinxiang’s hands?

  After Ning Shu and Yue Lan headed out, they saw that the hidden guard, who was dressed in black, was standing in the courtyard. If it weren’t for the fact that the moon was bright tonight, they would’ve completely missed him.

  “Miss, why were you screaming? I heard it all the way from the village entrance,” said the hidden guard. “What’s with the stench of blood? Who got injured?”


  Ning Shu waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing, you can go back to sleep. Everything’s been resolved.”


  The hidden guard then said to Yue Lan, “You should be careful and look out for yourself. Miss is very unreliable.”


  Hey, how could you badmouth someone in her presence? Did you even want to be friends anymore?

  Yue Lan nodded. “I got it.”


  Once the hidden guard left, Ning Shu asked Yue Lan, “Am I really that unreliable?”


  Yue Lan looked at Ning Shu with a very bitter expression. “When this servant is with Miss, this servant truly had no idea what will happen in the next second.”


  Ning Shu: …


  She didn’t know what would happen in the next second either, it wasn’t like she could fortune tell.

  “Let’s go to sleep. It’s been a tiring night.” Ning Shu lay down.

  The next day, when she woke up, it was already noon. She first went into the house to check on Wen Ruhua. Wen Ruhua was still unconscious and He Xiaohua was still looking after him.

  “You’re awake? There’s some food on the table,” said He Xiaohua to Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu felt that He Xiaohua really was very nice, she was just a little overbearing. However, as the daughter of the village chief, she had the right to be willful. However, those little things aside, He Xiaohua really was a good woman.

  It was also that Wen Ruhua had the good fortune of having the main lead halo.

  After sleeping for several days, Wen Ruhua finally woke up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to have He Xiaohua scram. The second thing he demanded was for Ning Shu to get in here and attend to him to make up for going against his wishes and agreeing to the marriage.

  However, neither He Xiaohua nor Ning Shu paid any attention to him. He got so angry that his injury burst open and started bleeding again, so he didn’t dare to get angry again.

  He Xiaohua now treated Wen Ruhua as her own husband so she spoke much more casually and would often accidentally injure Wen Ruhua’s pride. In addition, since He Xiaohua hadn’t been educated before, she didn’t know complicated words and would be bewildered whenever Wen Ruhua said something that contained veiled meanings.

  Wen Ruhua felt that he would rather die than marry a woman like this. In addition, the marriage was going to be him entering her family. It was practically throwing his male dignity on the ground and trampling on it.
