Chapter 22 The Unlucky Wife 22



"It's impossible for you and him, but is it impossible for you and me? I've heard about the character of the young master of the Li family. He is arrogant. I knew from the beginning that you and he were not the same kind of people."

"I'm different from him. I think you know my personality and how I treat people best, as we've been in the same village for nearly twenty years."

"You can't be with him anyway, so why worry so much?"

"He's not an easy target. He will leave Xiaofeng Village one day. Are you willing to abandon your parents and follow him?"

"He'll leave sooner or later, and you'll have to remarry sooner or later. What if you accidentally find another man like the Li family man?"

"You and I know each other well, aren't we the best match?"

We come and go in a hurry. We are content when we come and full of worries when we go home.

It is undeniable that Lu Shengping's words were well-reasoned and touched Wu Yuer's heart.

She didn't believe Li Lansheng's sweet words, and the two of them had never been on the same footing.

Those in higher positions bestow love upon those in lower positions, giving generously and receiving happily.

Wu Yuer would not gamble on how much his illusory sincerity was or how long it could last.

What she cares about is that their family lives a stable life, but to Wu Yuer at the moment, Li Lansheng represents instability and unrest.

She wished he would return to his wealthy home as soon as possible and forget about her, a country girl.

In the days to come, she will cross her own single-plank bridge, and he will walk his own Yangguan Road. It would be best if they had nothing to do with each other.

After dinner, it was completely dark and Li Lansheng returned from the farm after a busy day.

Wu Er, who was yawning and wearing a shoulder-covering shirt, opened the door for him.

Wu Er was sleepy, and his brother-in-law, who came in past him, looked tired. Hei Ye opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words of concern.

He closed the door and turned around, but the person had already run away. He didn't have the chance to say the words of concern.

I thought about informing my sister tomorrow and asking her to take good care of her husband. It would be great if she, as his brother, could worry less about the couple.

The lights in the east had been turned off long ago, and Li Lansheng quietly walked in in the dark.

He closed the door as usual and took a few steps closer to the bed. In the cold white moonlight outside the window, the little girl curled up with her back to him.

The heat-fearing girl kicked the thin blanket aside. She held the crumpled blanket in her arms, her face resting on the blanket under her body, and was sleeping soundly.

He quietly took off his white boots in the dark, pondered for a long time, and finally ignored the mat that Wu Yuer had made for him outside the bed before going to bed.

The young man who climbed onto the bed while someone was sleeping did not show any shame on his calm face.

He reached over Wu Yuer and took the thin blanket from the arms of the little girl who was facing away from him.

He carefully turned the person around and didn't give up until he was facing himself. He put his arm around the waist of his sleeping wife and pulled her into his arms.

Li Lansheng embraced his wife. He lowered his eyes and stared at the girl who had lost her thin blanket and whose arms were empty, with her brows slightly furrowed in discomfort.

The hand that missed subconsciously reached around and finally found a wall in front of it.

Wu Yuer was hugging the wall and sleeping contentedly, her gaze lingering for a long time.

With his chin supported by his arm, the smile on his face faded a lot when he thought of the envelope that his imperial sister had sent him today, urging him to return to the capital.

The night always has a special magic. It intensifies the loneliness of the lonely people, the confusion of the confused people, and the inferiority of the unconfident people.

And awaken the vulnerability that people hide deep in their hearts and are unwilling to reveal to others.

"Would you like to return to the capital with me?"

Li Lansheng asked this question uncertainly, he knew in his heart that if he asked in front of the sober girl.

The girl would probably turn up her fair little face, showing no mercy to the answer he expected, and ruthlessly shattering his fantasy.

Probably not willing.

She didn't care about him at all.

How could she be willing to accompany him to leave his hometown and go to the capital?

Even so, he is unwilling to face reality, or perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as unwilling to face his indifferent wife.

Li Lansheng was deceiving himself by not choosing his wife over anyone else.

He spoke each word clearly, his fingers circling tenderly around his wife's dark hair.

Circle after circle, winding and unwinding, unwinding and winding again, over and over again.

"We are husband and wife, husband and wife are one. Wherever I go, my wife will follow me, okay?"

"Yu'er, you know I can't live without you. You're so soft-hearted, you definitely don't want to bear the blood debt, right?"

He couldn't hide his panicked mutterings, but the beauty under him was sleeping soundly and had no empathy for Li Lansheng's anxiety.

After dinner the next day, Wu Yuer thought about going to Li Lansheng to clarify their relationship and give a reply to Lu Langjun after she had sorted it out.

Wu Yuer was unwilling to drag things out in vain.

It is undeniable that Lu Shengping’s proposal is very tempting. He knows Wu Yuer’s nature of being afraid of trouble.

Wu Yuer is a good person. Once she makes a mistake, she will try her best to avoid it a second time.

In her opinion, marrying Li Lansheng in a hurry was the biggest mistake she had made in her life.

In order to avoid making the same mistake again, she would choose a decent family with similar temperament and financial status to hers for her second marriage.

Lu Shengping grasped this point, but he misjudged one thing: Wu Yuer had high moral standards.

I am moved, but everything has to wait until she gets divorced, otherwise it will be bad for the reputation of the young man.

Thinking of Li Lansheng's promise, if she liked a boy from another family, she could just tell him directly and they would divorce immediately.

The little girl remembered this sentence clearly, wrote a divorce letter without delay, and went straight to find the man and left.

Pingping received a report from the doorman that the mistress of the house had returned, and she was sure that the mistress would be happy to hear the news.

He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried into the house to report.

As Pingping expected, Li Lansheng, who had been pondering the envelope on the desk for a long time, was overjoyed when he heard that Wu Yuer had come.

The wife hasn't stepped into the house since their quarrel and the cold war. Now she comes here, maybe she knows how good he is and comes here to reconcile.

It was wishful thinking. He put down the envelope and was blown out of the house by a gust of wind. Wu Yuer passed through the main hall and happened to meet him.

"You have something to tell me."

"You have something to tell me."

After he sat down in the house, the servant brought him a fruit plate, snacks and tea, then he bowed and left.

The two of them sat facing each other in silence for a long time. Wu Yuer stared at the tea in the teacup with tea foam in a trance, but in fact she was thinking about what was in her mind.

After finishing the manuscript, she looked up, and the person on the other side also looked up. Their eyes met, and they actually asked at the same time.

After a moment, Li Lansheng smiled first, thinking that he was sorry for the girl.

Now that the girl is here, he doesn't care about his face. He has to make the girl in front of him feel his feelings and that she is in his future.

"You came at the perfect time. I just got the news that all the complicated affairs at home have been settled. My sister wrote me an urgent letter, urging me to return home immediately."

Hearing this, Wu Yuer was pleasantly surprised. It meant that he would go back immediately, and she would naturally maintain her original life, and the two parted peacefully.

"I am attracted to you and want to take you home to meet your family and parents."

"Our previous wedding was too hasty. I want to make it a grand wedding after returning home to make up for our regrets..."
