Chapter 233 The Little Monkey's Destiny
The sky was dark, and clouds and fog spread, making everything in sight a vast expanse of mist.
Only the sound of mule carts could be heard, and the people could be seen.
"Awoo~ Awoo~"
The wolf cub heard human voices and kept howling, but it still couldn't stop the two arguing.
Wan Qiqi rubbed her forehead, her slender fingers constantly massaging her brow.
She desperately wanted Wu Gousheng to throw Fang Luxue out and never set foot in the Chen family again.
Ever since this man heard about Lin Xiaohua's affair, he has been shouting that he wants to rid the people of this scourge and has taken Chen Sanyuan to catch the adulterers.
The affair between Chen Sanyuan and Lin Xiaohua is still far from settled, so it can't possibly be considered catching them in the act.
Moreover, judging from the situation, Chen Sanyuan seems to be the "other man" between Lin Xiaohua and Sun Daxiong!
Wan Qiqi wanted to give Lin Xiaohua a chance, not wanting her reputation to be ruined and her to be unable to hold her head up in Lianhua Village.
However, Fang Luxue believed that Lin Xiaohua's affair should be publicized to Lianhua Village so that everyone in the village could see the truth about Lin Xiaohua and Aunt Yang, as a warning to those who wanted to climb the social ladder.
If she had just arrived in this world, Wan Qiqi would definitely have chosen Fang Luxue's approach, but now she is somewhat hesitant.
This action will have little impact on the man, but it could ruin the woman's future.
Lin Zhaodi was sold into a brothel, which served as a warning to Wan Qiqi time and time again.
Fang Luxue looked displeased and crossed her arms. "Wan Qiqi, no one will be grateful for your kindness. Giving her a way out is cutting off your own escape route. Are you stupid?"
Wan Qiqi was taken aback.
This is the first time someone has called her stupid at this time.
Fang Luxue's words are indeed quite correct.
Aunt Zhang's matter was paid for by her out of kindness.
Fang Luxue was puzzled. Wan Qiqi was so clear-headed in the bandit's den, yet she was so muddle-headed about such a trivial matter.
Although she was still confined to her chambers and rarely went out, she had heard Fang Bowen talk about many things related to officialdom.
If you don't want to suffer the consequences, either don't do it at all, or do it decisively to avoid future troubles.
As soon as the three brothers entered the house, they heard Fang Luxue scolding Wan Qiqi for being stupid.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Three pairs of eyes stared at Fang Luxue, as if questioning her about why she had scolded Wan Qiqi.
Just a couple of days ago, the three brothers were still somewhat wary of Fang Luxue's identity, but now it seems they've completely forgotten that she's the daughter of Magistrate Fang.
Fang Luxue felt a little uneasy under his gaze. To bolster her courage, she shouted, "If you keep staring at me, believe me, I'll have your eyes gouged out!"
The three brothers exchanged glances, but Lu Xue ignored them and went about her work.
Fang Luxue naturally saw the meaning in their eyes, but she still pretended to be angry, as if she had scared them away.
"Awoo~" The wolf cub appeared at Wan Qiqi's feet at some point, stretched out its head, and kept rubbing against Wan Qiqi's trouser leg.
Wan Qiqi picked up the wolf cub, pinched its face, and felt much better.
The wolf cub was dizzy from being shaken around and was about to roar when a hand was stroking its fur and scratching its own itch.
Finally, it gave up resisting, lay in Wan Qiqi's arms, and showed a contented expression.
Wan Qiqi looked up and saw Chen Yongnian's hesitant expression. She picked up the wolf cub and got up to go into the room.
Chen Yongnian leaned against the door, staring at the wolf cub for a long time, before asking, "Do you like it?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Wan Qiqi's eyes.
Seeing the other person looking at his hands, he suddenly realized what was going on.
She shrugged and smiled faintly, "It's alright."
Then, she looked at Chen Yongnian, waiting for him to get down to business.
Chen Yongnian hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you like it, keep it, or I can help you find another one."
Wan Qiqi stared at Chen Yongnian, trying to find clues in his expression.
Then she noticed that Chen Yongnian was paying extra attention to the wolf cubs today.
The phrase "or find another one" seems to suggest that the wolf cub should be sent away.
Wan Qiqi believed that Chen Yongnian wouldn't have the time or inclination to care about the fate of a wolf; it could only mean the little monkey.
She stared into Chen Yongnian's eyes and asked, "Have you found where the little monkey is?"
Chen Yongnian subconsciously looked away, his lips moved slightly, and he turned his face away.
"If my wife is worried, shall we let the little monkey stay?"
Wan Qiqi did not answer, put the wolf cub down, and walked to Chen Yongnian's side.
A faint scent of lilies mingled with the earthy aroma, which she had already detected!
She tilted her head to look at Chen Yongnian, curious about who he had met.
After standing still, Chen Yongnian noticed that there was another scent on his body. He wanted to avoid Wan Qiqi's gaze, afraid that she would misunderstand.
He was filled with unease and dared not look up at Wan Qiqi.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Wan Qiqi blinked and asked, "Who wants to adopt a little monkey?"
"I...I..." Chen Yongnian stammered, his eyes darting around.
His reaction made people think he was lying.
Wan Qiqi found his guilty look somewhat amusing.
A grown man over 1.8 meters tall being stared at with nowhere to hide—anyone would think he's a coward.
But Wan Qiqi knew that Chen Yongnian couldn't speak; he was just afraid that she would misunderstand.
She reached out to straighten Chen Yongnian's disheveled clothes, but Chen Yongnian was so frightened that he dodged away as if she were a jackal or a tiger.
After dodging, Chen Yongnian suddenly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to explain, "I..."
Wan Qiqi put her index finger to her lips and gently shushed, "I didn't mean anything by it."
As she spoke, she reached out to straighten Chen Yongnian's clothes, saying, "Going out will inevitably pick up other smells, and so will I. It's no big deal."
After tidying up, she looked up at Chen Yongnian earnestly and said gently, "Who wants to adopt the little monkey? Your master?"
