Chapter 309 Riding the Same Horse
Song Yuntang suddenly felt that she shouldn't be like this.
Xu Qingye was the man she chose personally, and now they are married. It would be irresponsible for her to protect herself before future events happen.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Of course I have to go home, but my mule cart is left at the tavern."
Xu Qingye said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, we'll ride back on horseback."
He walked forward, took Song Yuntang's hand, lifted her onto the horse's back, then he climbed on the horse himself and sat right behind her.
The man's chest was broad and warm, which made her want to let down her guard involuntarily.
After the two left the farm, Xu Qingye was not in a hurry to take her home, but instead lingered in several valleys with nice environments.
People always feel their own insignificance in front of mountains and rivers.
The sun was already setting in the west, and a slight chill from the mountain breeze made Song Yuntang shiver.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye put his arm around her.
"Is this better?"
Song Yuntang hummed, "Xu Qingye, I almost wanted to keep my distance from you because of what others said."
Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The little girl was finally willing to speak out.
"I see."
"You feel it?"
After saying this, Song Yuntang suddenly felt that it was a bit redundant. How could he, such a smart person, not feel it?
I'm afraid he noticed it the first time he saw her.
I just didn't say it.
"Are you feeling better now?" Xu Qingye asked.
When he saw her outside Cile Town, she had an expression of surprise and grievance on her face, and he saw it clearly.
"Much better." She turned back to look at the man. "Actually, on the way back to Cile Town, I felt quite aggrieved. Lin Zhaozhao has the support of her parents and brothers, so she can do whatever she wants. I have been threatened and hurt by them time and time again, but I can only rely on myself to deal with it with my thorns all over my body."
"But I think it's not that I don't have anyone to rely on. I'm just not used to relying on others."
The man hugged her gently.
"I am your husband, not anyone else."
After calming down, Song Yuntang was willing to say what was in his heart.
"Mr. Lin came to me today and told me to agree to let Lin Zhaozhao marry into the Xu family as a co-wife. At that time, Mr. Lin's mansion will do its best to support you. He also said that all successful men in Daxia have three wives and four concubines, and you will be no exception in the future. I was really angry when I heard it, and even implicated you in this anger. Later, I thought about it and felt that I shouldn't have done that."
Xu Qingye looked at her and said, "It's okay. I'm your husband. If you're angry, you can vent it in front of me."
Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "You are so nice, I can't bear to vent my anger on you."
Then he said, "Xu Qingye, do you remember the agreement we made before we got engaged? If you find a girl you like in the future, you can tell me openly and I will definitely help you. This sentence has always worked."
Xu Qingye was stunned, as if he didn't expect Song Yuntang to suddenly say such a thing.
He sighed softly.
This girl is so rational that it makes people feel sorry for her.
"There won't be anyone else."
"Um?"
Song Yuntang looked behind him in confusion. The distance between them was very close, so close that Xu Qingye could touch her lips if he just lowered his head.
He restrained himself and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"Besides you, there will be no one else by my side."
The man's eyes were sincere and calm, and his deep pupils reflected her face clearly.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Song Yuntang's heart was beating violently.
She turned her face away.
"I'm talking about the future. It's a bit early for you to say that now."
Xu Qingye did not try hard to prove anything in front of her. He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and headed towards Lushan Village.
"Father, mother and Wencheng are very worried about you. Do you want to go back to the county town early tomorrow?"
"Now that I'm back, I have to go to the farm and the tavern tomorrow to settle last month's wages with them. I also have some business matters to take care of. I'm afraid I won't be back until the afternoon. When you came today, you didn't have time to say goodbye to Mr. Tang, right?" Song Yuntang said, looking back at him.
Xu Qingye hummed.
"Indeed not."
The wind was so strong when the horse was running that Song Yuntang turned around, buried his head in the man's arms, and looked up at him.
"You can go back to the county tomorrow. Horseback riding is fast. If you go early, maybe you won't be too late in the morning."
After all, I didn't ask for leave, and it would be bad to break my promise to others.
Although it can be explained afterwards, it will always leave a bad impression on others.
Xu Qingye let her pull his clothes to block the wind.
"What about you?"
Song Yuntang thought about it and realized that it was very chaotic outside and he had to be careful. "I will hire a carriage to go to the county town tomorrow afternoon. I will ask Tu Shi to go with me then."
Although Tu Shi eats a lot, he has great strength.
It is safest to take him with you when you go out.
Hearing that she would call Tu Shi, Xu Qingye felt a little relieved.
"good."
…
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met a group of villagers chatting.
There were about a dozen men and women, and everyone was talking about their own things. It was very lively. The most heated discussion was about the Huang family.
The recent downfall of the Huang family was a major event in several nearby villages.
The other big guys didn't know, they only knew that Song Yuntang was the one who took the lead in this matter.
People from several nearby villages all say that this girl is brave and resourceful.
Finally, everyone no longer has to be exploited by the Huang family.
"Qingye and Qingye's wife are back, but your parents are not back?" asked an enthusiastic villager.
Some people were envious.
"You two have such a good relationship. You even ride on the same horse."
Xu Qingye replied calmly, "My parents haven't come back yet. Something happened in Tang'er's shop. We came back to deal with it. We will return to the county town early tomorrow morning."
When these people heard this, they were curious and a little worried.
They all came forward.
"What happened? Is it serious?"
"People in our village cannot let others bully us. If there is any problem, we must go back to the village and ask for help."
Xu Qingye raised his hand and coughed lightly, "This concerns a girl's reputation, so I can't tell everyone. We'll go back first."
After saying that, he rode away from the village.
Seeing this, the villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What's going on? Was the incident in Qingye's shop done by a girl?"
"Whose girl could it be?"
"The only girl that everyone knows of who has a grudge against her is the one from the mansion of a wealthy man in town. Wasn't she imprisoned in the county jail?"
"I heard that the Lin family paid some money and the person has been out for several days."
"She is so shameless. She has repeatedly targeted Qingye's wife. I heard that the last time she was thrown into jail, it was because she teamed up with Huang Heyu to tarnish Qingye's wife's innocence."
"A girl's innocence is the most important thing. If they succeed, Qingye's wife's life will be ruined."
"Looking at the couple's expressions, it seems like they don't want to make a big deal out of this?"
"This won't do. If we don't make a big deal out of it, they will get even more aggressive in the future. I'll go talk to Uncle De. It would be best if we could get Aunt Hu to go home and ask about the situation."
"Okay, Uncle De and Aunt Hu definitely don't want to see their grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law being bullied for no reason."
