He hurriedly passed by his master's wife in small steps, keeping his eyes focused and not daring to glance at her.

Pingping, frightened and not forgetting to turn back and close the door, walked a long way away before his vigorous heartbeat gradually subsided.

Inside the house, Li Lansheng didn't care about the noodles his wife brought him. They were cheap, just like the entire Wu family.

Even though he was in such a state of poverty, Li Lansheng still looked down on his wife who was forced to marry him, not to mention that his wife was ugly and could not be shown to others.

Wu Yuer, wearing a mask and a bright red wedding dress, was silent for a long time.

Wu Yuer understood immediately that her husband seemed to dislike her and was not surprised.

The two met one morning when she went up the mountain to chop firewood and heard some strange noises on the way.

He wanted to ignore it, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that something might have happened to someone in the village. After walking a few steps, Wu Yuer returned to where he was and went to look for the place where the sound came from.

There is a Xiaofeng Mountain in Xiaofeng Township. In the past, the village chief and villagers dug a fish pond near the foot of the mountain to store water.

The girls and boys threw some fish fry into the pond, and when the fry grew up, they cleaned the pond every year.

Every year in Xiaofeng Village, every household is served with a bowl of fragrant fish soup. The soup stewed in a large stove with firewood is delicious and fragrant.

Even though Wu Yuer is picky about food, having one bowl of rice for a meal is not a problem.

Now, as Wu Yuer was running towards the sound, the half of her face that was exposed through the mask could not be seen clearly.

I don’t understand why there were cries for help from people who fell into the water when the elders in the village had repeatedly warned children not to come to the fish pond.

The girl, who had put down her axe in a hurry to save the person, did not have time to look any further, but saw someone struggling in the water and calling for help.

Without having time to distinguish between men and women, the kind-hearted girl dived into the water and rescued the man to shore.

At this time, the villagers passing by heard the noise and came over, with the wet girl holding the disheveled young man in her arms.

The young man looked unfamiliar, and one could tell at a glance that he was the man from another village who had settled at the foot of the mountain.

The man and woman were in dishevel, even if it was to save someone, the woman was unmarried and the man was unmarried, and this marriage was not decided by the parties involved.

The moment the rumors spread, Wu Yuer was bound to marry the man who had come from another place due to the harsh treatment of men by the secular world and the strict dogma.

Otherwise, she is just a girl, and the words of others are just a drizzle and will not cause any real harm to her.

But it is not so easy to let the man go. The woman touched his waist and got his clothes wet.

In Xiaofeng Village, where etiquette is above everything else, and even in the entire Luanfeng Kingdom, it is equivalent to losing one's virginity and chastity.

If a girl is cruel and unwilling to take responsibility, it is not uncommon for some families to beat or kill their sons for the sake of reputation.

Wu Yuer's mind turned and her thoughts returned. Seeing that her husband seemed indifferent and silent, she knew that he was unwilling to do so.

Pursing her lips, she walked into the new house to the rectangular cabinet where clothes and quilts were placed under the silent attention of another person in the room.

I thought that if this lowly peasant from the countryside dared to be so audacious as to flirt with me.

Seeing that the girl was tactful and knelt down to make the bed, he stared at the bride's slender, arched waist.

Lan Sheng's face was indifferent. He took back his hand and covered it with his sleeves, then applied the poisonous silver needle.

Although this girl is ugly and comes from a humble family, since she has self-awareness, it is not impossible for her to keep a humble life in the future.

There was no sound in the room except for the slight sound of making the bed and folding the quilt.

Wu Yuer made the bed and was about to get up and ask the groom to sleep on it. She would make do today and sleep on the floor.

As for what happens in the future, we’ll talk about it later.

"You must be aware that we have only met once and that we have no deep feelings for each other. We are now forced to marry for expediency. One day, Lansheng will definitely return home, so I don't want to delay you."

Standing up straight and turning to face the other person's look of "you understand", what else does Wu Yuer not understand?

He was forced to marry her, but he looked down on her. In the end, he was blown away by the wind and soared to the sky, while she was just a country bumpkin.

Wu Yuer, who was clear-headed, nodded obediently to the man looking at her. In the dim candlelight, Lansheng smiled at this particularly considerate girl.

His lips moved, but there was no real smile in his eyes. It seemed more like a perfunctory attitude, a carelessness, and a coldness.

"Don't worry, girl. You don't have to keep your virginity for me. If you have someone you like, don't hide it. Just say it directly.

When the time comes, present the divorce agreement, and when I leave, I'll give you the house at the foot of the mountain and a generous amount of money as a wedding gift. How about that?

Just like that, a big pie falls from the sky.

Not to mention money and other intangible things, just the bright and spacious house at the foot of the mountain made Wu Yuer's heart move.

Her heartbeat did not affect her rejection of Li Lansheng's kindness. The young girl was not spoiled by the Wu family's eager pampering.

She was calm, generous and upright, so naturally she didn't want to take advantage of Li Lansheng.

People say that if two people are pretending to be a couple, they can never be real husband and wife.

How could she have the nerve to covet other people's houses and money?

Li Lansheng, who was domineering inside, would not allow her to refuse. He gave her the tiny bit of the thing that was exposed between his fingers.

After returning to Beijing, he will forget everything about Xiaofeng Village.

After the two of them had their say, Li Lansheng went to bed to rest. The bride, who was standing in front of the house fiddling with her fingers, looked a little helpless.

She looked at the groom who was about to go to bed, and the groom, sensitive to her gaze, looked back.

His slightly proud eyes met the soft rippling water-like eyes of the bride not far away, who was covered with a mask.

The impatient groom's expression suddenly softened, and the honest bride seemed unaware of the groom's emotional fluctuations.

She pointed at the chicken noodle soup on the table in front of him, and felt distressed, thinking that it must have become clumpy due to the long delay.

"If you don't eat it, I will."

How good can the conditions in the countryside be? Chicken soup noodles are a delicacy that can be found only once during festivals.

Wu Yuer had already eaten before she came and was reluctant to eat it. After thinking about it, she took it out and sent it to her brother's room in the west room.
