It's impossible for her to be sleeping so soundly; Yu Honghua must have drugged her.
Is it because you're afraid to face yourself?
Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow. That girl was quite fierce last night. She was in control from beginning to end, while Qiao Qiu was just passively enjoying herself. Why didn't she see her being shy at the time?
Oh, right, she has a split personality at night.
Sigh, I don't know if marrying such a wife is a blessing or a curse.
Qiao Qiu lowered her head and smiled gently.
Yu Honghua is currently in the council hall lecturing her second and third sons.
"Second brother, what are you two like? You've completely disgraced me! How could you just drug someone and send her to my bed like that?!"
Yu Honghua, recalling what happened last night, wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground. Why was she always so bold at night?
That's Meng Yuanqing! How could she be so impulsive?
But I must say, Meng Yuanqing was absolutely captivating last night. Now she understands what it means to die under a peony flower and still be a romantic ghost.
"Eldest brother, you had a good time last night, and you've been cursing us since this morning. Don't you want to marry Young Master Meng?" the second brother retorted fearlessly.
"I……"
“That’s right, boss. Young Master Meng is now our bandit husband. You can’t let him go back on his word,” the third brother said.
Yu Honghua was stunned for a moment, and a bitter feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. "We forced Young Master Meng. Do you think an ordinary person would feel ashamed if forced to marry a woman? He is such a proud person that it wouldn't be surprising if he divorced me directly."
"Well, how about we just tie him up in the village?" the third brother suggested.
"You wish! Do you think Young Master Meng was really kidnapped by us and brought to the mountain? He came here voluntarily. If he wants to leave, none of you can stop him," Yu Honghua said angrily.
The second brother was unhappy. "Eldest brother, are you talking nonsense? I personally carried him up here. I was there the whole time. How could he have come up here voluntarily?"
"If you don't believe me, try it on yourself." Yu Honghua was already annoyed. Just thinking about how Meng Yuanqing would hate her and look down on her made her feel uneasy.
Just then, someone ran in from outside, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! The chieftain's husband has gone out of the village!"
"What? He actually dared to run away!" The second brother slammed his fist on the table and roared.
Yu Honghua seemed to have lost all her strength, slumped into a chair, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Boss, I'm going to teach him a lesson right now!" The second brother saw her crying and panicked, turning around and rushing out.
The third brother was also anxious, unsure whether to comfort Yu Honghua or go to help. He scratched his head and said, "Eldest brother, say something! If they fight and hurt Young Master Meng, won't you be heartbroken?"
Yu Honghua raised her tear-streaked face and choked out, "Then hurry up and go. Don't let the second brother hurt anyone. If Meng Yuanqing really wants to leave, let him go."
"Okay, I understand, boss. Don't cry, I'm going." The third brother comforted Yu Honghua and then ran out.
Qiao Qiu felt that this might be the first time he had ever been a real man, and he hadn't quite mastered the degree of intimacy, so he felt his legs were a little weak.
After leaving the village gate, Qiao Qiu looked around and noticed birds flying in the sky above the woods to the east. She turned and walked in that direction.
"Meng Yuanqing! You stop right there!"
A furious shout came from behind, followed by a fierce gust of wind.
A cold glint flashed in Qiao Qiu's eyes, and with a swift movement, she vanished from the spot.
The second brother's punch was about to hit someone when he suddenly lost his target, missed, and fell to the ground with a hard fall.
"Hey! Where did he go? Meng Yuanqing, if you've got the guts, don't try to hide from me!"
"I'm behind you." Qiao Qiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the second son lying on the ground.
The second brother rubbed his chin and got up, pointing his fat finger at her, panting heavily with anger, "You, you brat, you took advantage of our boss and then tried to run away! What do you take our boss for? Shameless! Worse than an animal! You hypocrite who spouts all that benevolence and morality!"
Qiao Qiu understood what was going on, but the second brother laughed and scolded her, "Full of benevolence and morality? When have you ever heard me full of benevolence and morality? If I remember correctly, I seem to have been forcibly abducted to the mountain by you, and you drugged me and forced me into the bridal chamber."
Just as Qiao Qiu had said, the second brother's face turned bright red, and it took him a long time to finally say, "That doesn't matter, you've already ruined our boss's reputation, you have to take responsibility for her!"
"Second brother!"
Before Qiao Qiu could speak, the third brother ran over, panting heavily, and said to the second brother, "Second brother, the eldest brother told you not to hurt Young Master Meng. The eldest brother also instructed that if he wants to leave, let him leave."
Qiao Qiu was slightly taken aback. Yu Honghua was still thinking of her under such circumstances. Was she really not afraid of gossip?
"What?! I think the eldest brother has really gone mad! Meng Yuanqing, you heartless man, do you know how heartbroken the eldest brother was when he heard you left? You have no conscience!" The second brother was furious.
"She cried?" Qiao Qiu's heart tightened as she looked at the third brother with his pointed mouth and monkey-like face.
The third brother didn't give Qiao Qiu a friendly look either, snorted coldly, and turned his head to the side.
"Alright, have you finished cursing? Did I go down the mountain?" Hearing Yu Honghua cry, she had no mind to argue with these two anymore.
The second and third brothers were taken aback. They turned around and saw that it really wasn't the way down the mountain.
They seem to have misunderstood something.
Qiao Qiu turned and walked into the village.
The second and third brothers exchanged a glance and followed.
Qiao Qiu grabbed someone on the way and asked where Yu Honghua was, then walked in the direction he pointed.
As soon as Qiao Qiu entered the council hall, she saw Yu Honghua crying her eyes out.
Yu Honghua vaguely saw a tall, elegant person. She quickly wiped her face clean and, upon seeing clearly that it was indeed Qiao Qiu, she suddenly stood up and rushed to her. "You didn't leave?"
Qiao Qiu stroked her hair and sighed, "You misunderstood me. You drugged me, and I woke up too late. My stomach was empty, and I waited for you for a long time, but you didn't come back, so I had to go find something to eat myself. I originally wanted to ask the villagers for some, but I thought that the village was quite poor, and I wouldn't feel at ease eating their food, so I decided to go out and hunt some wild game."
"That's great, you're not leaving!" Yu Honghua happily threw herself into Qiao Qiu's arms.
The second and third brothers, standing at the door, were utterly ashamed upon hearing this. They had been so kind to the people, and instead of asking questions, they attacked and insulted them.
"It's all that Gou Sheng's fault! He told me Young Master Meng was leaving! I'll beat his ass until it's bruised and battered!" The second brother cursed under his breath, then turned to look for someone.
The third brother was too ashamed to stay there, so he went to look for someone.
