Chapter 60 The atmosphere is thick

Hu Xiner was extremely angry and was about to retort when another person walked in.

It was Erdong! He appeared, Luo Yan in his hand, like a chicken.

Luo Yan, dressed in silk and satin, looked aggrieved and resentful as she was thrown to the ground by him.

The Hu family was shocked. This was the daughter of a landlord, and Erdong dared to throw her away without hesitation. How could Luo Yan not have any complaints?

Erdong kicked Luo Yan and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?"

"Actually... the Hu family accepted a betrothal gift of 500 taels from the Luo family and hasn't returned it yet, so they are forcing Hu Xiner to get married!" Luo Yan said slowly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

“Isn’t this selling your daughter?”

"With the foolish look of the Luo family's eldest son, I can't marry my daughter off even if you give me 500 taels!"

"They are not good people. Fortunately, Boss Hu escaped."

Hu's father was filled with shame and indignation: "Stop slandering my Hu family! In terms of character, appearance and family background, who in all of Shuangxi Village can compare to the eldest son of the Luo family?"

Hu's mother also echoed tearfully: "We are all doing this for our daughter's own good..."

Mrs. Li spitted bitterly, "For her own good, he even wanted to drown her in a pond. I've really learned something new!"

Hu Xin'er even stretched out her hand: "Okay, since you are doing this for my own good, just give me the 500 taels betrothal gift. That will be my dowry."

The Hu family was speechless.

Mu Qing suddenly turned his head and looked at him leisurely.

Hu Xiner quietly held his hand and gestured, don't be angry, this family won't give it out anyway.

Mu Qing domineeringly crossed his fingers with her and declared his sovereignty.

"You're so willful!" Hu Rong'er got anxious when she heard she was asking for money. "What five hundred taels? We never received any."

"Do you mean that Miss Luo is lying?" Hu Xiner looked at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was just watching the fun when Erdong kicked her. She had no choice but to retort to Hu Ronger: "You can't say that. The receipt for the five hundred taels of silver is still with me!"

Hu Ronger didn't dare to provoke Luo Yan, and she didn't dare to act in front of Erdong and Mu Qing, for fear of being beaten.

Hu's mother said aggrievedly, "Daughter, it wasn't easy raising you two these years. Your parents are saving that money for you so you don't waste it. Besides, compared to our family love, this money is nothing."

Hu Xin'er frowned: "Don't talk about feelings, it costs money."

"At worst, I can give you a hundred taels first." Hu's father's face was full of heartache. "Our Hu family has a clean and upright family tradition and we always keep our promises. Since you have agreed, you must marry the eldest young master of the Luo family."

Everyone was so angry that they spat at him.

"I've never seen such a shameless person."

"You still have the nerve to say your family is upright?"

Even Mr. Wu was furious: "Selling your daughter for a mere sum of gold and silver is unworthy of being a father!"

Hu's father began to cough, and Hu's mother began to cry. Hu Rong'er said righteously, "Don't talk nonsense. Hu Xin'er was already dirty when she left the landlord's house last time. Even if Mu Qing picks up broken shoes, can he keep doing it forever?"

"Who are you calling a slut?" Mrs. Li's voice was particularly sharp. "It's a huge scandal to tell anyone about it. A sister knocked her younger sister unconscious and sent her to the landlord's house. Her parents took five hundred taels and wanted to sell their daughter. But it was Mu Qing who risked his life to save her and take care of her personally!"

It is really hard to say who is close and who is not in this world.

"I'm her father, she can marry whoever I tell her to!" Father Hu panted heavily, looking extremely scary.

At this time, the ugly face of the Hu family has been completely exposed to everyone.

The crowd was excited and Li Sangui looked for a knife everywhere.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Erdong kicked Luo Yan.

Luo Yan didn't dare to offend the imperial guards, so she quickly said, "Hu Xin'er doesn't have to marry me. I can cancel the engagement."

"How can this be possible?" Hu Ronger jumped three feet high. The five hundred taels had been squandered by the Hu family, and they would never be able to pay it back in this lifetime.

Luo Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want the five hundred taels either!"

The Hu family members couldn't help but show joy on their faces. Five hundred taels for free, what a good thing!

Luo Yan sneered in her heart. Now she was just trying to please Erdong. After the incident, wouldn’t the Hu family be at her mercy?

He dared to deceive her Luo family and caused her to get into trouble with so many bad guys. This kind of stupid teammate should have been dealt with long ago.

Only Hu Ronger was still unwilling to give in: "But Hu Xiner is already with the eldest son of the Luo family..."

"Nothing happened. I saw it with my own eyes." Luo Yan smiled flatteringly at Erdong, "I'll go and chase them out right now."

The Hu family didn't dare to confront her at all.

The four people were driven out in disgrace. Hu Xiner covered her head with a veil and the wedding went on as usual.

"Bow to your parents twice!"

The two men held the two ends of the same red ribbon and bent towards Mr. Wu.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Mu Qing lowered his head, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

"Send her to the bridal chamber!"

Hu Xiner was sent into the room. Today, the whole tiled house was covered with bright red window grilles. Although the wedding was hastily held, all the necessary things were present.

She was extremely confused and heard the extremely noisy outside. Mu Qing should be being persuaded to drink, and she didn't know whether Erdong would block it for him.

This wedding was meant to silence the villagers, but Mu Qing said he was truly getting married. So, should we... well...

But Mu Qing is such a blockhead that he can't even drink the wedding wine. He probably needs her to teach him how to do it. Oh, how embarrassing!

With all sorts of messy thoughts in her mind, she felt embarrassed and secretly happy at the same time.

I heard footsteps in a trance, and Mu Qing called out with a drunken voice, "Xin'er?"

"Yeah." Hu Xiner clutched her clothes tightly.

The man hesitated to lift his veil, and softly called out, "Madam?"

Hu Xiner suppressed her shyness and nodded silently.

The veil was lifted, and Mu Qing's ears flushed. He took Hu Xin'er's hand and sat down at the table: "Next, we should drink the wedding wine."

Although I've had it before, the atmosphere now is very different.

Mu Qing was emboldened by the wine and took the initiative throughout the whole process. While drinking the wedding wine, he stared at Hu Xiner without blinking.

"Don't keep looking at me." Hu Xiner said in a low voice.

"What's wrong, are you shy, ma'am?" Mu Qing moved closer, trying to see her expression, but was stepped on hard by Hu Xin'er.

"You usually look quite serious, but why do you act like a lecher now?" She said in a delicate voice, and was surprised herself after she said it. Such a shy and charming voice actually came from her?

Mu Qing's eyes became more and more fiery. He actually picked her up sideways, gently placed her on the bed, and then slowly moved closer to her.

Hu Xiner closed her eyes in fear and nervousness.

The atmosphere was tense, and at the critical moment, a killer in black suddenly broke in through the window and headed straight for Mu Qing.
