Chapter 1606: Chapter 1606: Deep Gratitude
Especially the village head, who was even more hospitable to Xuexue’s family. On the second day after their return, he slaughtered chickens and pigs, and after the al, sent them ho with plenty of at.
Madam Xie was naturally grateful for the village head’s good treatnt of them.
After they returned, they learned that Old Lady Mo’s family had also co back about half a month earlier. It was heard that they returned by begging along the way, taking nearly a month to finally arrive at Mo Family Village, looking ragged and covered in dirt, their hair so filthy it resembled mud and was tangled. People almost didn’t recognize them.
Initially, everyone thought they’d return gloriously from the Capital, unexpectedly ending up like this, which was quite sigh-inducing.
Old Lady Mo’s family harbored resentnt towards Xuexue and Madam Xie. Naturally, there was more bad-mouthing upon their return to the village.
Aware of Xuexue’s status, people advised them not to fight with Madam Xie. Madam Xie was no longer the easily bullied young wife she once was. With Xuexue as a backing daughter, even if she killed Old Lady Mo’s family, no one would dare say anything.
It was said that at the ti, Old Lady Mo was quite arrogant, and proclaid loudly in the village: “If she dares, I am her grandmother; if she kills , isn’t she afraid of divine retribution?”
These tales were told to Madam Xie by Aunt Li after they returned. Aunt Li had helped Madam Xie manage the Xie Residence, and it had been quite tireso. Previously, Old Lady Mo’s family ca to cause trouble every three to five days before they went to the Capital, always trying to claim the Xie Residence as their own.
When Aunt Li was almost overwheld, thank goodness, the village head helped scare them away.
Madam Xie felt very guilty hearing this. Aunt Li could have lived well alone, but ended up dealing with these worriso matters for their sake.
Among the three won who returned to Mo Family Village, Chuner was the happiest. She was like a wild colt that’s broken free, spending her days playing around with Xiao Gougou.
Now, worn out from playing, they ca back looking for food.
Madam Xie laughed, “There’s food in the kitchen, you two should eat quickly!”
Xiao Gougou, who attended the Private School, was very polite: “Thank you, madam.”
Madam Xie smiled and nodded. After a few months without seeing him, Xiao Gougou had grown taller and, perhaps because of the Private School influence, seed much more mature.
Because of the matter with Long Rui, Xuexue was disheartened and returned to Mo Family Village with Zi Xia.
In the room, by Xuexue’s bed, Zi Xia stood properly…
“Miss, we left without a word; won’t the Prince be worried?” They left hurriedly without leaving a word, and Zi Xia was very concerned the Prince might be anxious not finding the Miss.
“Who cares? The Prince has many won; he wouldn’t care about .” The voice was evidently sulking.
“Miss, you’re not jealous because of Lady Li’s underwear incident, are you?”
“No.”
“If not, why leave the Capital?” Zi Xia looked unconvinced, thinking, Miss, you’re just being stubborn.
Zi Xia’s puzzled gaze lingered on Xuexue, until Xuexue had to give in: “Alright, alright, I admit, I’m jealous, okay?”
“Miss, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but you’re overreacting. What’s the problem if a man has several won? Historically, having three wives and four concubines has been very normal for n, hasn’t it?”
“I don’t care about others, but I can’t stand it.”
In truth, Xuexue understood deep down that the most crucial reason was that Long Rui deceived her. In her previous life, she was terribly deceived by the Fourth Prince till the mont of her death before realizing the truth. Living anew, she was afraid—afraid of being deceived, afraid of betrayal—so she preferred staying away rather than facing betrayal.
