Chapter 1676: Chapter 1676: Sound the Gong and Retreat
Zi Xia’s face turned red, thinking to herself, what does Guard Long an? Could he have taken a liking to her?
“Haha… it’s quite nice.”
Long Yi, the personal bodyguard of the War Prince and commander of the War Prince’s Mansion guards, not only looks handso but also holds an important position. His status in the mansion is very high, making him the dream lover of all the maids.
Zi Xia, being at an age where spring blossoms in her heart, holds a vague affection for Long Yi, but she never dared to break the thin veil between them.
Watching their flirtatious glances, Long Rui smiled triumphantly, thinking to himself, As the Prince, I refuse to believe I can’t handle a young maid, even if it ans giving up my personal bodyguard.
However, it’s worth it to be alone with my wife.
Sitting in the carriage, Xuexue glanced at Big Bull who was secretly smiling, and asked, “You look so smug, what mischief are you up to again?”
“Nothing, why would you think that of ?” Long Rui replied, straightening up.
“Really.”
“It’s good if you’re not up to anything bad!”
Xuexue turned her head again to look at the lively conversation between Zi Xia and Long Yi, feeling a bit puzzled. When did those two beco so close?
As the sun set, they finished their business and rode the carriage back. As they entered the village, they heard the villagers gossiping…
The village head had arranged for his son to marry a girl from the neighboring village, the daughter of a wealthy master, whose family is very wealthy. The engagent had been set and the wedding was in a few days.
This sudden news took everyone by surprise, isn’t it too rushed?
But upon reflection, Mo Xiuzhi, with her big belly, had been shouting everywhere claiming the child belongs to Mo Shaoxing. The village head, feeling pressured, thought up this solution, which seed logical in hindsight.
The bright future of his son can’t be ruined by a woman.
Xuexue also found the news startling; the village head acted quite swiftly, didn’t he?
When Madam Ruan found out, she supported the heavily pregnant Mo Xiuzhi, and went to the village chief’s house to cause a scene.
But no matter how they quarreled, the village head remained firm, refusing to let his son marry Mo Xiuzhi.
Days later, Mo Shaoxing married, making the village head very happy. Finally, his son freed himself from the shaless Mo Xiuzhi. Since it was the village head’s son getting married, naturally, everyone from Mo Family Village would attend.
The village head sent invitations to every household for the wedding banquet, except for the old residence.
Soone advised the village head, “Village head, since you want Mo Xiuzhi to leave your son alone, you should invite her to the wedding banquet. Once she sees your son marrying another girl, she’ll give up.”
The village head thought this was sensible, so despite the risk of Madam Ruan’s beating, he went to the old residence to deliver the wedding invitation.
Sure enough, this infuriated Madam Ruan, who, in a fit of rage, ignored his status as the village head, picked up a stick from the ground, and chased him across half the village.
“You heartless scoundrel, bullying us like this. Your son made my daughter’s belly big and won’t marry her, but instead marries another, and you still have the nerve to flaunt it! You call yourself a village head? You’re just a stinking rogue, with not a single decent person in your family.” The village head’s tactic made Madam Ruan cry bitterly in anger.
“Shrew! You’re just a shrew,” the village head shouted back, running as fast as he could while still managing to hurl back a few insults.
Old Lady Mo had already been driven out of the village. Mo Daoyan didn’t want his wife to be driven out too, so he quickly rushed to pull her back, trying to calm her, “Stop cursing, my dear. If you anger the village head, none of us will have peace.”
With lingering apprehension, Madam Ruan finally withdrew.
On the way ho, Mo Daoyan sneaked a look at Madam Ruan and cautiously asked, “Darling, should we go to the village head’s house for the wedding banquet tonight?”
