Chapter 315: Must’ve Been a Difficult Search

No one spoke as the carriage continued running on the dusty road. The atmosphere became a little strained.

Wen Ruhua looked at the hidden guard sitting next to him. The hidden guard’s gaze was emotionless and cold and his body emitted a strong killing aura. It was clear that he was very strong and skilled in martial arts.

Bai Qinxiang truly was no longer of the same world as him. Whenever she headed out, it would be with a guard and a servant. The way she lived was truly like a wealthy miss now.

Inside the carriage, Ning Shu and Yue Lan had fallen asleep, but it couldn’t be blamed on them. It was hard not to get drowsy from the swaying motions of the carriage.

After Ning Shu woke up from her nap, she lifted the curtain and asked Wen Ruhua, “How far away exactly is your village? Why did you run so far away to pick herbs? So you’re actually pretty good at running?”

When Wen Ruhua heard what Ning Shu said, he flushed before his facial color turned ashen. He said coldly, “What does where I pick herbs have anything to do with you?”

Ning Shu brushed back her hair and remarked lightly, “You’ve probably cleaned out all the herbs near the village, that’s why you had to run so far, right? Cousin, I thought that you would have a better life once you left me, I never thought that your situation was actually so sad.”

A rainbow of expressions flashed across Wen Ruhua’s face. He was so angry that he was starting to have trouble breathing.

“Ding, trauma points +10. Current number of trauma points is 60.”

Ning Shu: f.u.c.k, she loved this love and hate feeling.

She curled her lips in disdain and lowered the curtain in clear indication that she didn’t want to speak to him anymore. Even inside the carriage, she could still hear the sound of Wen Ruhua’s angry breathing.

“Stop the carriage, I want to get off! Bai Qinxiang, what exactly are you trying to do? Did you come here on purpose to humiliate me?” Wen Ruhua shouted towards Ning Shu.

Ning Shu replied mildly, “Cousin, Qinxiang came to seek asylum from you. Qinxiang already has no place to go now and can only ask Cousin for help.”

Wen Ruhua was infuriated. “Is this the att.i.tude with which you ask for favors? Bai Qinxiang, I’m telling you, I don’t owe you anything! Don’t you feel ashamed to appear in front of me?”

“Cousin, didn’t Qinxiang already apologize? Qinxiang had wronged you in the past, Qinxiang understands it now. Because of Qinxiang, Cousin didn’t take the imperial exams. Qinxiang really was moved and felt really guilty, that’s why Qinxiang came back to urge Cousin to study and take the imperial exams.” Ning Shu gave an impromptu reply.

Wen Ruhua’s eyes were practically bulging out. How could this woman say this kind of thing without any embarra.s.sment?

Back then, she had left without looking back right after deciding to, but now she came back saying that she wanted to keep him company as he studied? Wen Ruhua was so angry that his blood was practically boiling. How could a woman be so despicable, so shameless? Could it be that she didn’t feel any guilt or shame at all?

Wen Ruhua wanted to get off the carriage, but the hidden guard didn’t stop. Since he didn’t have the courage to jump off the carriage, he had no choice but to continue sitting there with an ashen face until they arrived at the village.

Ning Shu looked at the smoke rising from the chimneys of the houses, then asked Wen Ruhua, “How did you find such a remote and secluded village? It must have been a difficult search.”

Wen Ruhua didn’t answer and just walked into the village. Ning Shu said to the hidden guard and Yue Lan, “We’re going in as well. Let’s find a place to rest.”

The hidden guard looked at Ning Shu, then said, “Miss, I’ll just guard the carriage here. You can just have Yue Lan bring me some food during mealtimes.”

That also worked. After all, the hidden guard would probably cause a panic in the village if he went in like this. “Alright, then take good care of our carriage. We’ll still be needing it in the future.”

#comment: I’ve been getting a lot more comments lately about the post links redirecting to old pages, so I guess I’ll put up a reminder/explanation every hundred chapters or so. The links in the posts are dummy links to old chapters because other sites use bots to copy the pages those links point to. The actual links are in the emoticon comments I make on the post. Click on the emoticons in my comment and if they lead you somewhere, it should be to the correct chapter (unless I made a mistake). A special thank you to all the sweet readers who have been helping direct the other lost readers! It’s a huge help! ??
