Ignoring the heart-wrenching cries and pleas of the women, Zhao Tingduo pulled Song Liyun away immediately.
They walked until they could no longer hear any sound before stopping.
Song Liyun tugged at Zhao Tingduo's sleeve: "Ashi, when...did you get back?"
She wanted to know how much Zhao Tingduo had heard.
It's quite embarrassing to be so confident that you can handle this matter, but then end up arguing with someone.
However, she now understands the stubbornness of class consciousness and that her own appreciation for talent is not enough to break through it.
Even if those three are spared, they will remain enemies in the future.
Seeing that Song Liyun's face was not good, Zhao Tingduo ignored the clansmen walking around in the distance and hugged her tightly: "Ayun, you must remember, no matter what, there is no such thing as being above your station between us!"
"You...you heard everything?"
Alright! Now Zhao Tingduo knows everything that she should and shouldn't have heard, and she doesn't even need to explain herself.
"I heard you! If I hadn't suddenly remembered that I hadn't asked about the amount, I wouldn't have come back, and I wouldn't have known that you were being looked down upon!"
Zhao Tingduo tightened his arms and let out a long breath. When he heard those words outside the door, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart.
Song Liyun is his wife.
When a man's wife is looked down upon, it only shows his incompetence, lack of authority, and inability to provide her with adequate protection.
Those women were specially sent by her own father, which not only caused her trouble but also made A-Yun angry and upset.
Ah Yun used to say she wanted to stay and teach people, but a bad woman like that will only corrupt the children if she stays.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tingduo hurriedly said, "Ayun, it's not a pity to send those women away. You said you wanted to teach the children to read and write. When it gets warmer, I'll send someone to the Wu Dynasty to hire scholars to open a school, how about that?"
As long as you give them more money, there will always be bold ones coming to your door.
Song Liyun smiled, pinched Zhao Tingduo's armpit, and whispered, "Okay!"
She felt that saying anything at this moment would be a huge turn-off.
In the distance, Yuquan rode up in a hurry. Lady Wuya already knew that Zhao Tingduo was angry and wanted to give away the three noble ladies.
The lady only said two sentences: "Young Master, you did well!"
The second sentence: "Young mistress has been wronged!"
“Ah Yun, you’ve been wronged. Come with me to Kara Mountain to relax! We’ll hunt pheasants, roe deer, wild boars, and bears.”
Zhao Tingduo spun her around in his arms and then extended a sincere invitation.
It was at Kara Mountain that Song Liyun met Wudan and found the Wuda tribe.
They encountered heavy snow at the time, and Song Liyun, along with Song Dekui, Lin Qingyuan, and Balin and his group, almost got lost inside.
Song Liyun gladly accepted Zhao Tingduo's invitation, as she did not want to have any further contact with Tang Qingluan and the others.
There's nothing I can do; I can't save someone who's courting death!
If the chieftains of the three tribes were to arrive, there would surely be a great disturbance; it's better that I left.
By the time Lady Uya learned that her son and daughter-in-law had run off to Kara Mountain, it was too late.
She said helplessly to Granny Qi, "It's already the dead of winter, and it's going to snow heavily in the mountains at any time. There are only a few people in the clan, and there aren't many houses. It will be very inconvenient for A-Shi to take A-Yun there."
Granny Qi smiled reassuringly: "Madam, love is sweet as water. When you and the general were trapped on the grassland and huddled in the snow for warmth, did you ever feel bitter?"
Thinking back to the past, Madam Wuya frowned slightly, and a blush rose to her face, but she no longer felt the resentment she once had. She simply shook her head and said, "How could such a boorish man understand a woman's heart?"
Look at the outrageous things they're doing now! Their daughter-in-law hasn't even entered the family yet, and they've already chosen something that gets in the way for their son.
Fortunately, Ayun is more gentle than me, otherwise she would have fallen out with Ashi.
Granny Qi smiled and said, "This is also A-Shi's destined marriage."
Duke Anguo doesn't understand these things, but the young master does. Look at the young master now, he's nowhere near as careless as his father.
Moreover, the young mistress is kind-hearted, gentle, and considerate; if the young master knew this, he would cherish her even more.
At this point, Granny Qi sighed inwardly.
If only the young mistress could be like her, showing gentleness when necessary.
If he had suffered a little injustice, his relationship with the Duke of Anguo wouldn't have deteriorated to this point.
Song Liyun probably never knew that she had completely mishandled the maid's problem this time. Not only was she weak and delicate, but she was also scolded and embarrassed, which was completely inconsistent with her previous intelligent image.
In the eyes of Lady Uya and Granny Qi, this mistake was a sign of a good daughter-in-law.
People's wishes are always changing as circumstances change.
The last time Song Liyun came to Kara Mountain, she was only his fiancée.
Out of hope for the rise and fall of the Uda tribe, Lady Uya wanted a future master who was heroic, capable, and responsible.
At that time, Song Liyun was like a goddess descending to earth, saving the tribe from annihilation.
Now she is a daughter-in-law in the family.
Lady Uya naturally hoped that her son would be surrounded by a gentle and kind woman, even with some minor flaws, rather than a shrew.
Every step Song Liyun took met the requirements of the Wuda tribe and the hopes of her mother-in-law, Lady Wuya.
Granny Qi was right. Zhao Tingduo felt nothing but pity for Song Liyun and regretted not having sent the caravan back to Suijin Town halfway through the journey.
On the way to Kara Mountain, there was no one else around; the two rode together across the vast grassland.
Zhao Tingduo wrapped Song Liyun in his cloak to protect her face from the biting winds of the grassland, showing her the utmost tenderness and care.
Old Ma and Chrysanthemum Green Horse trotted briskly beside them, occasionally raising their heads and neighing at the slow-moving Black Horse, urging the two to hurry on their way.
