Even so, I made it clear to you before our marriage that I had no feelings for you and would never marry you.
Zhang Hengshan was not an ignorant young man. Although the Zhang family was not a wealthy family, they were still considered well-off.
He also knew some of the intricacies of the inner quarters, and after he grew up and learned that Chen Yuxin had feelings for him, he kept his distance from her.
Before he went to the Mu family to propose marriage, Chen Yuxin had confessed her feelings to him. He rejected her outright and asked his mother to find Chen Yuxin a good family to marry into.
Chen Yuxin was determined to marry Zhang Hengshan. Madam Zhang found several families for her, but she refused them all. So she simply made an excuse to go back to her hometown.
I just returned from my hometown yesterday, and today I'm already offering myself as a bed partner in the county town.
Faced with Zhang Hengshan's questioning, Chen Yuxin didn't answer directly but instead started crying in a delicate voice.
"Cousin, Yuxin doesn't ask for any title, she only asks to stay by your side and serve you."
Over the years, Chen Yuxin has lived like a pampered young lady in the Zhang family. The families her aunt found for her were either farmers or small business owners on the street.
She didn't like any of them. Marrying Zhang Hengshan would be so much better. All of Zhang's family property would be hers in the future, and Zhang Hengshan wasn't ugly either.
Even if she couldn't be the principal wife, she would be willing to be a concubine. After all, Zhang Hengshan's wife was a coarse woman from the countryside, and she was confident that Zhang Hengshan would look down on that country woman in the future.
Zhang Hengshan gave Chen Yuxin a cold look.
"You stay put and I'll have someone send you back to town. I'll tell you one last time: if you want to marry as the Zhang family's adopted daughter, your family will prepare a generous dowry for you."
Otherwise, I'll have to send you back to your hometown. I heard your sister-in-law is eager to take you home to get married.
After finishing his sentence, Zhang Hengshan didn't waste any more words with Chen Yuxin and immediately ordered someone to take her back to the Zhang family in town.
He's in a hurry to find Mu Zhaodi and doesn't have time to waste talking nonsense with Chen Yuxin.
He heard that Mu Zhaodi had run out crying, so he quickly hitched up a carriage and chased after her in the direction she had gone...
He chased her all the way to Chuyun Village, assuming that Mu Zhaodi must have gone back to her parents' home because she had been wronged.
Zhao Juhua and the others were surprised to see Zhang Hengshan rushing over in such a hurry. When they heard Zhang Hengshan say that Mu Zhaodi had run away crying, they became furious.
"Zhang Hengshan, you little brat, what did you say?"
You've made my granddaughter disappear?
Do you still want to take a concubine?
Let me tell you, although we are from a humble family, this marriage was arranged by your Zhang family. We initially disagreed, but you came to propose three times before we finally agreed.
Now look what's happened. They've only been married a few days and they've already driven our Zhaodi away. What's wrong with that?
Do you think the Mu family is just a peasant family that's easy to bully?
Zhang Hengshan shook his head repeatedly.
"No! No! Grandma, you've misunderstood..."
Zhao Juhua waved her hand,
"I don't care if you misunderstand or not, I'm telling you, I'm not finished with you for bullying my granddaughter, Zhao Juhua!"
At this moment, Mu Youcai and his wife were also called back from the fields. Mu Youcai didn't give Zhang Hengshan a friendly look either. He glanced at his mother.
“Mother, now is not the time to lose your temper. Let’s hurry up and find Zhaodi. That child has always been strong-willed, and I’m afraid she might do something rash.”
No one dared to delay, and soon Mu Youcai gathered about ten people to go out of the village to look for someone.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhaodi was left at the Mu residence in the county town by Ningbao.
"Sister Zhaodi, calm down first. After dinner, I'll go back to the Zhang family with you to find your brother-in-law and ask him clearly. If he really wants to take a concubine, then we can talk about divorce."
Don't worry, with me here, you definitely won't suffer any losses.
