"I, I don't know what you're talking about?" Xu's lips trembled as she stepped back repeatedly, reaching out to pull Ye Ling to defend herself, "Husband, I didn't do anything."
Ye Ling took her hand, helped her up, and comforted her, "I know Jiaojiao has a kind heart, unlike some people who make false accusations without any evidence!"
Ye Nuan was disgusted: An old and delicate girl who is almost forty!
It was always like this. Xu Jiao would be so weak and pitiful that she would be bullied, and Su Shi would be irritable and intolerant. She had suffered countless losses because she was still concerned about Ye Ling, but now it seemed ridiculous.
How could she fall for such a trick!
She gritted her teeth secretly, and Ye Nuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mom, if you want to fight, just do it. We're a bunch of people, and if we miss this opportunity, we'll miss it forever!"
Su's eyes dimmed slightly, and before anyone could react, she grabbed Ye Ling and started beating him. She was too ferocious, and before anyone could react, Ye Ling was already bruised and swollen, screaming in agony.
Ye Nuan was also stunned. She had never imagined that her mother wanted to hit this scumbag! When Xu and Zhou Shou rushed over to break up the fight, she rushed over and kicked the scumbag a few times. Ye Xiaohu knocked Xu and Zhou Shou away like a cannonball!
Zhou Shou bared his teeth and looked at Ye Xiaohu in shock - what did this little kid eat to grow up? He is as strong as an ox!
Xu was weak to begin with. When he hit her, she spat out a mouthful of blood. She lay on the ground and cried out hesitantly, "Sister, please stop hitting my husband. He's a scholar and weak. He can't bear it! Stop it, stop it..."
While beating him, Su said, "Tell me how you framed Ah Nuan. If you don't, I'll beat him to death!"
Su had previously resented Xu and her daughter, but now, in retrospect, she only felt that Ye Ling was hateful. He clearly didn't love her, yet he deceived her brother and father to marry her for his own future. He had ruined her life and caused her two children to be displaced. Now that she had the chance for revenge, she simply wanted to kill this hypocritical scum.
Although Xu was cunning and calculating, she loved Ye Ling deeply. Seeing him almost beaten to death, she could no longer hold back her tears and cried out, "Stop beating me! It's all my fault. I couldn't bear to see Ru'er suffer any injustice, so I deliberately poisoned the cakes that Ah Nuan gave her when she returned home."
"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted the Emperor to teach her a lesson. I didn't expect him to disfigure her and send you into exile. It's all my fault. If you want to hit me, hit me. My husband didn't know anything at all. It's my fault!"
Ye Nuan was a little surprised. So that's how it is?
But she didn't believe Ye Ling was completely unaware of the situation. Even if he didn't know at the time, wouldn't he have investigated if he had any feelings for the three of them? Instead, he would have fanned the flames and wished they would disappear immediately!
Thinking of the suffering Ah Nuan had endured, Qi Wuze could not help but be angry. He just pulled his sleeves when Ye Nuan grabbed him and said, "You don't say you don't hit women, let me do this!" After all, the original owner died because of Xu, so it was not excessive to beat her.
Then the scene changed from only Ye Ling being beaten to Ye Nuan's entire family beating up the couple.
Even though Zhou Shou had already experienced how ruthless Qi Wuze was in beating people, he still had to sigh: People from the same family are similar, he is so brutal!
The man was beaten, but no food was given. The beating was in vain!
I clearly came here to ask for food, how did it turn out like this!
Zhou Shou had hit a wall this time. After several rounds of back and forth, he finally gave in and perfunctorily followed the imperial court's orders. Shentian Pass suffered from food shortages every year, and many people died of starvation. This year's frequent disasters didn't matter to them.
It’s none of his business whether other people starve to death or not, as long as the soldiers in the city don’t starve to death.
Ye Ling, who was beaten half to death, turned his back to Xu, who also had a bruised face, and said nothing. Xu squatted beside his bed and said soft words to him for a long time, but he did not show any sign of softening. As she spoke, she began to cry.
In the past, Ye Ling would have had to coax her, but now he was just annoyed and simply pulled the quilt over his head. Xu cried even louder, saying, "I was helpless back then. It was Ah Nuan who always targeted Ru'er. If I hadn't taken action, she would definitely have tried to seduce Ru'er's husband."
Ye Ling suddenly turned around and asked coldly, "Do you know that poisoning a nobleman is a capital crime? Are you trying to kill Ah Nuan?"
"Although Ah Nuan targeted Ru'er, she never intended to take her life. In the past, I thought you were weak and pitiful, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
"You said I was vicious?" Mrs. Xu couldn't believe it. She fell to the ground and cried, "How could I be vicious? Ru'er's well-being can also help you. I did this for you!"
Ye Ling sneered: "For my sake, I think you are trying to squeeze out the Su family. What has your good daughter done for me? Wasn't it you and your daughter who caused me to be exiled? Although the Su family is crude, they are not ignorant. I really regret believing your lies." If he had not taken the initiative to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice, the Su family and Xiaohu would not have turned against him to this extent.
Xu was extremely disappointed and angrily said, "Are you blaming me now? You clearly investigated the poisoning afterwards, so why did you agree to my suggestion? After all, I wanted to do that too, and now you blame me. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to coax her back, right? Don't dream. She doesn't think highly of you right now, otherwise she wouldn't be so cruel."
Thirty million taels, thousands of acres of fertile land, and countless farmhands, would I care about you?
"Get lost!" Ye Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath coming in much faster than his breath coming out. Xu had only spoken in anger, not expecting him to be so furious. She was so frightened that she quickly went to find Zhou Shou.
"Get lost!" Zhou Shou didn't want to see this couple at all. Why were they talking about you love me and I don't love you when the situation matters? They all have holes in their heads. It's worse than being stepped on by horse hooves!
Before Xu could even leave, an official came rushing over with a chicken feather command arrow, shouting as he ran, "My lord, this is bad news! The Emperor is leading a large army and is heading towards us!"
Zhou Shou's bruised face wasn't fully healed yet, and the pain began to return. He stood up, took the letter, and asked, "The emperor leading the army in person? What war is there? What war?" He opened the letter, glanced over it twice, and sneered, "Another idiot with a bump on his head! Beichen is almost in a state of panic. He's just going to eat dirt in a war!"
"The wolves of the wilderness are not vegetarians. Don't try to steal the chicken but end up losing the rice!"
The official who arrived lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the emperor's favorite concubine ran to Shentian Pass, and the emperor was furious, so he led the army himself!"
Zhou Shou: “.”
What's wrong with Beichen? They are all a bunch of idiots, always in love all the time, right?
When Xu heard this, joy flashed in her eyes: Ru'er is here, the emperor is here too, they are saved!
Zhou Shou put away the letter and went to the housekeeper to ask, "How much rice is left in the house? How long will it last?"
The housekeeper frowned, "The rice in the mansion is only enough to last ten days. The number of refugees in the city who have starved to death is twice as high as in previous years. If this continues, the soldiers defending the city will starve!"
Zhou Shou rubbed his brows and ordered, "You, contact Jiang Ji and ask her to write a letter to Master Ye."
While Zhou Shou and Jiang Ji were writing, they would occasionally ascend the tower and gaze out into the distance. In previous years, at this time of year, the grass outside Shentian Pass would wither and the heat would crack the earth. But this year, the land was lush and green, stretching for thousands of miles. Even the nearby red rock land had sparse patches of trees.
He wondered, "When did this forest appear?" Why did it seem like it wasn't there yesterday?
The soldier guarding the city rubbed his eyes and said uncertainly: "It seems to have appeared just this morning, but it also seems to have been there a long time ago..." In short, he was not very sure.
Zhou Shou kicked the man over and cursed, "I told you to guard the city, and you didn't even notice there was such a large forest!"
The soldiers defending the city felt wronged. That night, their minds were tense and they kept a constant eye on the trees ahead. However, when they woke up the next day, the sparse forest had transformed into a dense, indistinct forest! Stretching from east to west across the entire red rock vein, it forcibly isolated Shentian Pass from the wilderness.
Birds are lingering above the dense forest. The wasteland can no longer be called a wasteland. It seems to be prosperous and thriving. It is estimated that it will soon be comparable to the wealthy areas in the south of the Yangtze River.
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned. After a long pause, they suddenly ran towards the city, shouting, "General! General!"
After a while, Zhou Shou and the rest of his staff came hurriedly. When they saw the dense forest not far away, they were stunned and their hands that were holding the city wall shook unconsciously.
I haven’t seen them for just one night. How did these dense forests appear? Could it be a mirage?
The staff hesitated for a moment and suggested, "General Zhou, should we send someone to investigate?"
Zhou Shou thought for a moment and quickly stopped him: "No need!" This owner Ye is so evil and powerful, and that family is unreasonable. There must be something fishy going on. He has learned his lesson after suffering so many losses.
"Isn't His Majesty the Emperor leading the army in person? Just let him handle this matter!"
Staff 123: General Zhou is really bold!
The group at Shen Tianguan was stunned, and so were the people in the wilderness. It wasn't that they were being overly surprised; it was simply too unbelievable. When Master Ye had previously invited everyone to plant trees in the Red Rock Field, everyone had assumed it would be just like before, with some fruit trees or shade trees.
After one night, the trees they planted grew to human height. After the second night, the tops of the trees they planted were no longer visible. When they strayed into the forest, they thought they had entered a deep mountain forest. Especially after the owner of the Ye farm explained that it was a poisonous forest, everyone went from surprise to horror.
Then I watched helplessly as the birds approaching the woods over there fell vertically, and people could not get close at all.
Everyone was puzzled and began to whisper to each other.
Ye Nuan soothed them, "Don't panic, everyone. The situation inside the pass has been quite unstable these days, with soldiers frequently invading. This forest is to prevent enemy attacks. As long as you don't get too close, it's fine."
Everyone thought so. They lived in the wilderness and didn't need to go to the interior. They had heard from the farmhands that there had been a severe drought in the interior recently, and many people had starved to death. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before a revolution broke out, and war would break out frequently.
The wilderness is still better. There are not many rules. You can have enough food and clothing by relying on Miss Ye and City Lord Qi.
In the past, people in the wilderness wanted to enter the pass, but now I am afraid that people inside the pass want to run to the wilderness!
It’s great to have this barrier!
But how did these trees grow so tall overnight?
Everyone looked at Ye Nuan.
After that day, the people began to implicitly regard Ye Nuan as the patron saint of the wasteland, and Yunjian Farm as their spiritual center. Anyone who grew vegetables or farmed would chant over their seedlings, praying for Ye Nuan's blessing.
On the tenth day after the construction of the Poison Barrier Forest, Ye Nuan received a letter from Jiang Ji. Qi Wuze was a little confused. Weren't these two sworn enemies before? How come they were like good sisters now, exchanging letters so often?
"Are you familiar with Jiang Ji?"
Ye Nuan handed the letter to him and said, "I guess so. She even gave me the golden abacus!" They are friends, friends who understand and appreciate each other.
"What about you? You're not familiar with Jiang Ji? If I remember correctly, you've been dealing with her for seven or eight years. Don't you have any friendship with her?"
Qi Wuze's hand holding the letter trembled, and he stuffed it back into her hand without opening it, and hurriedly distanced himself from her: "I don't know her well!"
Ye Nuan smiled with her eyes curved, a smile that made his hair stand on end.
"Why do I remember that the first time I saw her, I threw myself at you!"
Qi Wuze was innocent and nervous: "A Nuan, you can't wrongly accuse me. You also said that she was the one who jumped on me. Besides, I pushed her away, she didn't touch me, really, I swear!" If he doesn't explain clearly today, he will probably have to sleep on the floor.
Ye Nuan smiled and changed the subject: "Jiang Ji asked me to sell her 100 dan of rice, and she promised to sell it to the people inside the pass at a fair price. How can she, a profit-seeking profiteer, become a living Buddha?"
Qi Wuze didn't care about this. He came close to Ye Nuan and continued to explain: "I really don't know her well. Why don't you ask the madman or A Ya! A Nuan, you must believe your husband. I am innocent!" He was almost swearing to the sky.
"So, should I sell the food to her?"
Qi Wuze shook his head: "No, I won't sell it. I will never have anything to do with her. Ah Nuan, don't pay any attention to this profiteer in the future." His Ah Nuan is such a good person, she can't be led astray.
Ye Nuan slapped his head away and said seriously, "I'm serious. Do you want to sell it?"
Qi Wuze felt wronged: "I'm being serious, I won't sell it!"
Then Ye Nuan wrote back, agreeing to sell it to Jiang Ji. Qi Wuze felt even more wronged, as depressed as a big wolfdog. His position in Ah Nuan's heart was threatened, and it was actually threatened by a woman.
It's so depressing!
If there are about 120 jin of grain, and 100 dan is about 12,000 jin, how is Jiang Ji going to transport it to the interior?
After Ye Nuan agreed, Jiang Ji soon sent a letter, saying she knew someone familiar among the guards at Shentian Pass. She was to deliver food to the outside of the Poison Barrier Forest on August 15th, and someone would bring silver to exchange. She was currently in Kyoto and couldn't come in person.
Qi Wuze, worried about a scam, discussed sending Gao Zangfeng instead. Ye Nuan disagreed, instead having the food loaded onto a cart and personally delivering it. She wanted to see just how far Jiang Ji had gotten, and who exactly Shen Tianguan was acquainted with.
Jiang Ji has traveled all over the country, and Ye Nuan can naturally do everything she can do.
She had to go, so Qi Wuze had no choice but to accompany her. On August 15th, the sky was clear and the air was bright. The group set out from Yunjian Farm, walked along the poplar path, and passed through the poisonous forest. Finally, they saw a group of ten people waiting outside the poisonous forest.
Behind them were ten large wooden boxes. When they saw Ye Nuan appear, they hurried forward to salute and bowed, saying, "Master Ye, this is the silver that Pavilion Master Jiang ordered us to deliver. It's 35,000 taels in total. Please count it!"
Qi Wuze waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to count the grain. After a moment, the person nodded. Someone from the other side came to inspect the grain. After the two sides happily completed the transaction, Ye Nuan was about to retreat when the other party called her back.
"Master Ye, please stay. Our Pavilion Master Jiang has given you another gift. Please open it when you return to your residence." After saying that, the man pushed out a large box from behind. The box was locked with a large red silk tied on the lock.
It looks like a big gift.
"What's inside?" Ye Nuan was puzzled. What serious thing would Jiang Ji give her?
The man shook his head: "Our Pavilion Master only said that you would like it."
"And the key?"
The man still shook his head: "There is no key. The Pavilion Master said to let Master Ye go back and knock."
Uh, it’s like winning the jackpot by smashing an Easter egg!
"Got it. Thank your Pavilion Master for me."
The contact person finished his task, bowed slightly to Ye Nuan, and immediately set off to the interior of the country. Ye Nuan and his group stood there, staring at the large box tied with red silk for a long time.
Gao Zangfeng couldn't hide the truth, so he raised his voice and asked in confusion, "What could be in such a big box? Why don't we break it open and take a look?"
Qi Wuze didn't comment. Although Ye Nuan was also curious, she still shook her head and said, "Let's go back and take a look." Since Jiang Ji said to go back and take a look, she decided to listen to her.
The group, pulling eleven wooden crates, passed through the poisonous forest, then walked along the poplar path, swaying towards Yunjian Farm. Qi Wuze rode his horse closer to Ye Nuan, and the two were chatting when the group suddenly became chaotic at the back.
The noise grew louder and louder. Qi Wuze frowned and looked back, seeing that everyone's eyes were cast towards the eleventh box tied with red silk, with a mixture of surprise, doubt and curiosity.
Ye Nuan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Someone behind shouted, "Madam, there was a noise in the box just now, and it seemed like there was a sound. There must be a living thing inside!"
Living creature?
Ye Nuan was also a little curious. Could the living thing that Jiang Ji gave her be a valuable golden cat or a pet dog?
Could it be a giant snake?
The box began to thump again, the sound growing more intense. Everyone looked at each other and then at Ye Nuan, who waved her hand to signal them to stop. Gao Zangfeng waved, and everyone dismounted and moved toward the box, stopping when they were about a meter away.
Qi Wuze sat upright on his tall horse and said, "Madman, pry open the lock."
"yes!"
The rest of the people spread out and surrounded the cage. Gao Zangfeng approached, but he didn't dare to chop directly with his sword. Instead, he inserted his sword into the lock and exerted force.
Snap!
The lock is open.
Bang!
The lid of the box was suddenly pushed open, and everyone was startled and looked inside. Even Ye Nuan, who was on horseback, couldn't help but stand up and look inside.
However, after seeing clearly what was inside, her face turned dark: What did Jiang Ji mean by giving her a woman who was tied up tightly, blindfolded and gagged? Was this trafficking a good girl?
In the sunlight, the woman in the box had skin so white it was almost transparent, her jaw was delicate and pointed, and the black cloth covering her eyes made her look even more slender and pitiful. Her forehead was rubbed red and swollen from her constant struggle.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Gao Zangfeng suddenly cursed: "Damn it, is this what a human being would do? Treating a good girl like this, locking her up in a cage and suffering!"
Ye Nuan had sharp eyes and saw a letter on the woman's abdomen. She said to Gao Zangfeng, "Bring the letter here so I can see it."
Although the woman in the box could not speak, she obviously heard the sound. She struggled violently when Gao Zangfeng approached her.
Ye Nuan took the letter and opened it for a closer look. The handwriting on the fine rice paper was elegant and lively. The opening line was straightforward: "You should be familiar with the person in the box. She is your enemy, Ye Yuru. I heard that Baili Zhuo is leading a large army to encircle and suppress you, you ungrateful person. I have specially captured his beloved and brought her to you. If he dares to touch you, you will skin his woman alive."
Ye Nuan: “!” Is Jiang Ji helping her or harming her? Why did she kidnap the heroine in the book?
Although she came here at the end of the story, if there are any extra chapters to this book, the world will still revolve around the hero and heroine. Their behavior is definitely that of a villain, and they will definitely be used as cannon fodder to build the foundation of the hero and heroine's relationship.
She didn't want to be near the male and female protagonists at all.
Ye Nuan cursed inwardly, stuffed the letter into her arms, and said to Gao Zangfeng, "Gao Shoucheng, throw this box out of the poisonous forest, and untie her rope before you come back."
The woman in the cage pricked up her ears to listen. She suddenly stopped struggling and shouted excitedly: "Sister Nuan, Sister Nuan, is that you? I heard your voice."
Ye Nuan shuddered and urged Qi Wuze, "Let's go, hurry up!"
She rode away first, and Qi Wuze followed in confusion. She only stopped when they ran back to the farm.
She dismounted, her right eyelid twitching. She had a feeling that something bad would happen if she ran into the heroine. No, she had to have the wolves patrol the farm. She couldn't let that evil spirit get close to here.
No wonder she was so surprised. The original book was a mind-numbing, melodramatic romance novel, with the hero and heroine chasing each other, flirting and causing a lot of harm around them. They were physically and mentally tortured, and the people around them were missing limbs or even losing their lives.
For example, their family, now even Ye Ling and Xu are so miserable, which is enough to show the lethality of the male and female protagonists.
Ye Nuan walked inside, and Qi Wuze caught up and asked, "A Nuan, who is that person? Does she know you?"
Ye Nuan suddenly stopped, and her usually gentle eyes swept sharply towards Qi Wuze, staring at his face and studying it carefully, as if she was trying to see a flower.
That look was too dangerous. Qi Wuze hesitated and took two steps back: "...A Nuan, what's wrong?"
The heroine's aura in the book is so strong that almost all men will have special feelings for her when they see her. Her husband is also a man...
"How did you feel when you saw the woman in the box just now?"
"What the hell!"
In fact, it feels like this: What the hell is this?
Ye Nuan suddenly sighed, feeling that there was something wrong with her mentality. Qi Wuze took two steps forward and held her in his arms, reaching out to stroke her back and coaxing her, "Ah Nuan, don't sigh, your husband is here!"
At night, Ye Nuan had a dream.
In her dream, there were blue sky and white clouds, and the air was hazy with spring. She was lying under the flower stand on her farm, reading a novel. Suddenly, a link popped up on the page. She clicked it, and the title read: "The Tyrant's Little Wife" extra chapter has been updated.
Ye Nuan couldn't control her hand and clicked on it. She read it from beginning to end and felt like she was struck by lightning.
Extra Chapter 5: Baili Zhuo's desire to marry the Empress leaves Ye Yuru heartbroken, she flees to the border, hiding in the wilderness and vowing never to see him again. Unexpectedly, she is captured by the vicious female supporting character, Ye Nuan. Baili Zhuo personally leads an army to rescue her, but the vicious female supporting character, along with the male supporting character, Qi Wuze, are murdered by arrows. The farm's 10,000 dan of grain provides Beichen with a crucial relief from its food shortage. After this incident, Baili Zhuo realizes he can't live without her, cherishes her even more, and vows to be their lifelong companion!
The comments below are all full of enthusiasm.
[Ahhh, I knew Baili Zhuo only loves Ru Ru, so sweet!]
[Didn’t the vicious female supporting character Ye Nuan die? Why is she still causing trouble?]
[And what about Qi Wuze? How could he like a woman like this and be willing to take the blame for her?]
[Two bitches, they deserve to die]
Ye Nuan was suddenly awakened. The moonlight outside was warm and beautiful. The person next to her habitually reached out and pulled her into his arms, stroking her back and coaxing her, "Are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, Nuan, don't be afraid..."
His hands moved occasionally, and his chin rubbed her head lightly. It was obvious that he was not fully awake yet.
Ye Nuan's hand, resting on her side, climbed up his waist and slowly tightened, a cold light flickering in her eyes: What a crap male and female protagonist! Her life is her own, why should she be cannon fodder? Why should the farm she worked so hard to build be used to make wedding dresses for others? Her husband is so good, how can he die!
She took the initiative to kiss his lips, hot and eager. Qi Wuze, who had originally closed his eyes, chuckled softly, turned over with force, trapped him under him, and lowered his head to counterattack...
After a wild night, the sun rose. Outside the window, she heard a quarrel. The soft and weak voice pierced her expression. She opened her eyes and leaned over to look out the window, and then she saw the woman in the box yesterday.
Ye Nuan was stunned for a moment - the heroine is here again!!!
