Chapter 425: Wild Mandarin Ducks
Chapter 425: Wild Mandarin Ducks
"You bastard! What's wrong with me being your fiancée? Have I been bad to you and your son? I have been working and serving you and your son since I was a child. Just because you are a scholar, my parents also think that you will have a bright future. They don't let me do the housework, so they let me come to your house..."
"You and I grew up together, and I'm almost your child bride. Why didn't you despise me when I took care of you and your son for so many years? Now that you've passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, you despise me..."
Sun Qianer was also very angry.
Who wants to be his fiancée?
If a sorcerer had not said that he was a man of noble destiny and that he was the incarnation of the star of literature, her father would not have arranged this marriage for her so early.
Not only his family, but the entire Zhao family, also took good care of him and his mother because of the prophecy that he was the incarnation of Wenquxing, and the whole family worked hard to support his studies.
He won the top prize, but what was the result?
If she could continue to suffer with him, she would be a fool!
What's more, he coaxed her, saying that he had married a lady from the capital and would take her to the capital when he became successful.
He also said that he didn't like that lady and would make her his wife in the future. What a daydream.
The young lady divorced him on the second day after his marriage, so she had to return with him in disgrace.
"Even if I passed the exam and became the top scholar, wouldn't you still want to cling to me and try to please me? I really passed the exam and became the top scholar. No matter what, since you have clung to me, how can you let me go so easily..."
Zhao Xingjian looked like he was crazy, with a weird smile on his face.
Sun Qian'er struggled a few more times, but Zhao Xingjian held her so tightly, how could she break free?
"Who is it...Qian'er, who is talking there?"
At this moment, an old voice came from outside the house. Sun Qianer was startled. It was her mother-in-law.
Everyone knew that she and Zhao Xingjian were engaged. If her mother-in-law saw her talking to Zhao Xingjian, the matter would be impossible to hide.
"It's a monk begging for alms. Mom, please don't come out. It's too slippery outside..."
Sun Qianer responded that it was fortunate that her mother-in-law had poor legs and feet, as there was snow on the road and she couldn't walk out.
"Then give her some steamed buns..."
When the old lady heard her daughter-in-law say this, she immediately shouted another sentence and sat under the eaves.
"Let go quickly. If you don't, someone from the village will come over soon..."
Sun Qian'er was very nervous. Although her home was at the end of the village, few people came here, especially in winter. It was still early at this time, and few people came out during the slack season.
But we have to be prepared for the worst, in case someone sees us.
"You... bring me something to eat and take me back..."
Zhao Xingjian raised his head, his eyes full of threats.
It was as if if she didn't agree, she would make the affair between him and her known to everyone.
He will not die a good death, and this woman will not have a good end either.
No one knows what kind of person Sun Qian'er is better than him.
It was her idea to drug Ye Jingxue!
When she heard that he had passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, she ran to the capital city by herself without even waiting for him to settle down and come back to pick her up. She almost appeared in front of Ye Jingxue several times.
In order to keep her stable, he rented a house for her outside and promised to let her in.
She refused to be his concubine and insisted on being his wife. In order to prevent him from going back on his word, she threatened him to give her a child first and never have children with Ye Jingxue.
How else would he have come up with such an idea?
She had threatened him before, so couldn't he threaten her now?
Sun Qian'er was frightened by his look and took a step back. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and kick her legs, and only then did Zhao Xingjian let go of her hand.
She quickly ran back home, took two multi-grain steamed buns, and then ran outside.
At this time, there were already people active in the village.
As a woman, she naturally couldn't lift him, so she dragged him to a farther place and stuffed the steamed bun into his arms.
"I'll ask someone to take you back, but I can't move you..."
Sun Qian'er was anxious to get away, but unexpectedly Zhao Xingjian threatened again:
"You'd better bring me food every day and come to serve me. If you don't come one day, I will tell everyone that you are married and you slept with me. I will see if Li Dasheng can't beat you to death."
In Zhao Xingjian's current condition, he will be a useless person if he returns, and he will not be able to survive without someone to take care of him.
The Zhao family members hate him so much now, and no one is willing to take care of him.
"You...you forced me to do that..."
Sun Qianer was furious.
"Alright. Stop talking about how noble you are. Were you forced? I don't know who called you so happily. When you first came to the capital, you took the initiative to sleep with me, and no one forced you..."
Zhao Xingjian didn't fall for her trick. He twitched the corner of his mouth in pain, his eyes fierce.
Sun Qian'er had nothing to say. She glared at him fiercely. When she saw two villagers coming over here, she suddenly screamed:
"Ah? Who is this, Uncle Zhao, come quickly, there is a person lying here, he looks like a monk..."
When she screamed, the two men immediately ran over. It turned out to be Zhao Xingjian. Looking at his current attire, they knew that he had left to become a monk.
It felt a bit unlucky and they didn't want to care.
At the beginning, an old Taoist said that he was the incarnation of Wenquxing. For this reason, the entire Zhao family would collect some money every year to support his studies. What was the result?
Life was so difficult in those years, some families were almost starving to death, but the clan leader still asked every household to give grain and silver. Thinking that he would be the top scholar in the future, they endured it even though he acted superior.
Even the money he needed to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination was raised by them.
As a result, not only did the clan not enjoy the benefits brought by his rapid rise to prominence, but they were also implicated by him and no one in the clan could take part in the imperial examinations.
This is not the reincarnation of Wenquxing, it's clearly a jinx!
The two men didn't want to bother with him, but after all he was one of their tribesmen, so it was just a matter of raising their arms, and they carried him back.
There was no one at his house, it was dirty and messy everywhere, and no one was taking care of him, so he was just thrown onto the bed.
Sun Qianer saw him being carried away and also went home.
"Qian'er, is the person gone?"
Her mother-in-law also asked, but he was a monk, a person blessed by Buddha. Generally speaking, when people came to his house to beg for alms, they would be willing to give a bite as long as there was something to eat.
Sun Qianer didn't even reply. She just glanced at her and went back to the house.
It would be convenient for her to secretly go to Zhao Xingjian's place to take care of him when her husband was not at home, but she couldn't always be threatened by him like this.
Do I have to take care of him all my life?
No, she had to think of a way. Now that she thought of Zhao Xingjian, she felt sick.
She had destroyed her life's happiness by him, so why should she still be controlled by him?
With her looks, she could have found a rich man in the city and married him, but because of this engagement, she became his fiancée for more than ten years.
After he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, she even lived in his house on the pretext of taking care of her future mother-in-law. Finally, she secretly ran to the capital to find him. Who would be willing to marry her?
In fact, even if she and he were innocent, she had long lost her innocence and reputation because she had stayed at his house so long before and even stayed out at night.
She couldn't let him ruin her present!
