Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife Chapter 161: Do You Want to Leave Here?

"Uncle Qin, the Xinan victory has spread, the army has returned. Can you find out if Brother Mu and the others are back?"

As the New Year approaches, the weather is very cold. Uncle Qin enters holding a warming pot, and Qin Wuyou urgently asks him.

Back then, they took him out of the mountain bandit den, allowing him to live like a human being and even recognize his ancestors; this kindness, he feels he will never be able to repay in this lifeti.

Six months ago, when he learned they were to be dispatched to Xinan, he was distressed for quite a while and even impulsively considered packing up to go with them. If not for Uncle Qin’s tearful pleading, this kid would have truly gone!

Now, the news of the Xinan victory has spread, and naturally, the Qin Mansion knows of it. Qin Wuyou has been busy inquiring about the whereabouts of Li Qingmu and his wife.

"Young Master, this old servant is inquiring! But they are not in the army!" After speaking, he hands over the warming pot, saying, "Young Master, warm your hands, don’t get frozen!"

His young master is quite afraid of the cold, and this old servant is really worried sick.

"Thank you, Uncle Qin!"

Qin Wuyou takes the warming pot and warms his hands. At that mont, a household servant rushes in excitedly: "Young Master, look who’s here!"

Behind him follows a couple, with Li Qingmu still wearing the Big Hat given by the Young Prince, looking all fluffy.

Qin Wuyou is at first stunned and then overwhelmingly overjoyed, tossing the pot aside and rushing forward: "Brother Mu, Sister-in-law! You’re... you’re back? Why didn’t you inform us? Uncle Qin, quickly, prepare sothing delicious!"

The young man is too happy, speaking a bit incoherently.

Li Qingmu goes up to him and gently knocks him, smiling: "We’re just stopping by for a visit."

"Why the rush? It’s already afternoon; why not stay overnight? Where will you stay in the evening?"

Long Yue thinks it over and indeed stays with Li Qingmu.

"Actually, Young Master Qin, we ca to see you for a reason this ti!"

"What? Sister-in-law, please go ahead!"

"I want to ask for a person!"

"Who?"

"Yun Niang!"

Qin Wuyou is taken aback, scratching the back of his head in confusion, "Why do you want Yun Niang?"

"Isn’t it simple? I want to open Qin Xiu in the Capital City; when the ti cos, I’ll need soone to oversee the shop. Wuyou, I know you have ample hands here, so how about giving Yun Niang to ?"

Li Qingmu tries not to laugh, thinking his wife is quite shaless; first, she asked Xiang Yin for money and now cos here to ask Qin Wuyou for people and funds... She’s like a female bandit!

But whatever his little wife does is always right!

Qin Wuyou clutches his hair: "I currently have plenty of hands here. Okay, I’ll go ask Yun Niang her thoughts and let you know!"

"No, I’ll talk to her myself!"

Yun Niang has settled here for a long ti, and convincing her to go to the Capital City is difficult. When Long Yue arrives, she’s already pondered over what to say, but just as she reaches the Qin Xiu front door, she hears a commotion inside.

"Slap! You bitch! You’re successful now? I ca to see you, and you refuse disrespectfully? You deserve a beating!"

Long Yue enters only to see a disheveled man grabbing Yun Niang’s hair and slapping her.

As he tries to hit her again, Long Yue charges forth, kicks him in the knee behind, then chops his neck.

"Ah—"

The man screams, releasing her and clutching his knee in pain. Long Yue completely ignores him, turning to the torn-clothed, ssy-haired Yun Niang.

"Are you alright?"

"You... Yue’er? Is it really you..."

Yun Niang instinctively covers her ripped clothes, her face fearful, but upon seeing Long Yue, she first pauses and then endless grievance transforms into tears as they flow uncontrollably.

"Yun Niang, don’t cry. As long as I’m here, no one can bully you! Who is this scum?"

Long Yue looks at the man writhing on the ground with disdain, but as she says "scum," Li Qingmu following her feels a chill down his spine.

"He... he’s my ex-husband..."

"Oh, so it’s this scum? You’ve separated, and he’s still pestering you? That’s harassnt of a decent woman! Husband, go report this to Gaoyang County and send this scum away."

Thus, Li Qingmu becos the errand boy.

Once the man is taken away, Long Yue takes Yun Niang inside, watching her sobbing. It’s surprising that such a usually tough woman has such a vulnerable side.

But under the current circumstances, it’s arguably the best for her.

She sighs and asks: "Has that man been pestering you before?"

Yun Niang shakes her head: "He used to be a businessman with good conditions at ho; why would he pay attention to ? Marrying was just for the Qin Family behind ! But I couldn’t tolerate his philandering and separated from him with Mr. Qin’s help.

Later... about half a year ago, officials from the Capital City ca and investigated many rchants, confiscating properties; so even lost their lives. It’s said... selling salt and iron illegally, which is akin to treason, implicated his family too, leaving them impoverished overnight, and that’s why he ca looking for !"

"Oh..."

Long Yue blinks, realizing she paved this way for Yun Niang. When Li Qingmu left, he handed evidence about the Liang Family’s illegal salt and iron trade to Zhang Bingwen, who apparently used it.

Long Yue sighs for a while and then suddenly asks: "Yun Niang, this man has beco a rogue now. Unless you get rid of him, he’ll continue pestering you!"

"Ugh, isn’t that so? He’s already co several tis!"

"Then let ask you, do you want to leave here? If you leave, you can get rid of this scum!"

"Leave?" Yun Niang pauses, eyes a bit lost, "My roots are here, the world is vast, where could I possibly go? Even if I go, I’d be alone... Besides, Young Master is still here."

"Actually..." Seeing that the situation is ripe, Long Yue says, "Yun Niang, actually... my husband and I plan to settle in the Capital City! With the Xinan victory, my husband has achieved rit and will later receive rewards; he might even be assigned a position in the capital. I plan to open an embroidery workshop then, and I need a lady boss to oversee it. After thinking carefully, I believe you’re the most suited!"

"?"

Yun Niang’s face is filled with shock. Long Yue’s sudden appearance surprised her enough, but hearing this makes her head buzz, a bit hard to comprehend.

"You... achieved rit?"

"Yes, achieving rit ans we can return now. This ti, it’s even the Emperor himself who summoned us. How about it; would you co with us? In the Capital City, no one knows you; you can live as you wish, even find soone who truly cares for you..."

"Yue’er, this... I’m already in my thirties; marrying again is impractical, but... going to the Capital City seems feasible... Let think about it, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning!"

"Alright!"

Long Yue doesn’t pressure her; she’s said all that needs to be said, leaving the rest up to Yun Niang’s own choice.
