“Well, I—”

The room fell into silence, but one could hear the distinct sound of breathing. Li Qingyuan’s breathing became hurried. Official! Who wouldn’t want their child to walk the official path? That was a meteoric rise for a person!

He gritted his teeth and slammed the table. The old table, which had been there for many years, almost fell apart. “F*ck, let’s give it a try! This is our son’s future!”

When Madam Wang heard that her husband had made the decision, she was instantly overjoyed. “Son’s father, you’re finally brave for once. Cough, cough, cough…”

Li Qingyuan’s face darkened. “Don’t you think your man is heroic?”

“Pfft!”

Longyue happened to be going to the toilet. She passed by their house and eavesdropped. She thought that their conversation was funny, but then she was delighted. It seemed that her sister-in-law had succeeded.

She had also planted a seed of dissatisfaction in her second sister-in-law. She just needed to slowly nurture it. When the time came, she would reel it in.

She really did not value the power of running the household. What she valued was that she could use this power to control the overall situation and properly manage her husband and her future.

The next morning, Longyue rode Chai Tieniu’s ox cart to the county city. As they passed by the village entrance, Auntie Liu was leaning against a tree, munching melon seeds. When she saw the two of them walking together, she immediately became sarcastic.
“Tsk, tsk. It’s so comfortable to not have your own man at home. You can meet your lover privately every day. Aiyo…”
“Stinky Liu, is your face itching again?”

She keeps slandering me. Is she asking for a beating? Longyue thought.

Longyue asked Chai Tieniu to stop the cart. She was prepared to give her another beating if things went wrong.

In this era where men were superior and women were inferior, arguments between women were just the laughing stock of the commoners during mealtimes. It was not a big deal. Therefore, as long as no lives were lost, it could not be escalated to the authorities.
Longyue was fearless!

“B*tch? Who are you talking about?”

Auntie Liu recalled the slaps she received previously and panicked. However, she would not give in and so she shouted.

Longyue smiled and said, “Slut, I was talking about you!”

“L.. You little slut! You dare to scold me? I’ll strangle you to death!”

‘As she spoke, she smashed the melon seeds in her hand and pounced on Longyue. Longyue sighed in exasperation. This person really didn’t learn her lesson. After being beaten up by me several times, she still wants to charge at me. She’s really amazing!
“Pal”

‘As expected, Longyue gave her another slap.

This slap was very hard. Half of Auntie Liu’s face was unrecognizable. It was red and swollen, no different from a pig’s head. Longyue glanced at her in disdain and said calmly, “Brother Chai, let’s go.”

She was from a prestigious family, so why would she take these unimportant people seriously? If not for this person jumping up and down, she would not even bother to look at her.

Actually, Li Qingyuan was right about one thing. With Longyue’s background, it would be strange if she thought highly of them.

Fortunately, in this life, Longyue, who had suffered miserably in her previous life, was much better. She had seen too much of the fickleness of the world and the fickleness of human nature, and she had mellowed as a result.

Take a hunter like Chai Tieniu, for example. In her previous life, she would not even look him in the eye. But now, she could chat and laugh with him like they were big brother and little sister.

‘The ox cart gradually disappeared into the distance. Auntie Liu covered half of her face and stared viciously at Longyue’s back. She cursed, “Little slut, you’re ruthless! Just you wait. I won’t let you have it easy!”

Longyue had no time to bother about Auntie Liu’s thoughts. After arriving at the county city, she went to the market right away to buy some food.

Three jin of lean pig meat, one jin of streaky pork, a bag of flour, a bag of white rice, and various condiments for vegetables, fruits, and fruits—a total of 112 copper coins.

One really doesn’t know how expensive daily necessities are. These things actually cost so much money.

She frowned and felt that there were probably not many ordinary families who could afford to spend their days like this. No wonder they could only eat these on New Year’s Day.

“Wife!”

Asickeningly sweet voice sounded from behind her. Longyue tured around and said in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Li Qingmu was tired but he looked very energetic.

Looking at his little wife’s lovable and cute appearance, his eyes became a little different. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, giving her a peck. “I came to visit Teacher. I didn’t expect to meet my wife here. It’s really fate bestowed by heaven!”
“Ha, pretentious!”

“T’m just being coy with Yue’er.”

‘The man’s deep voice was very nice to listen to, but his words were a little superfluous, making her sick of him. Longyue pushed him away angrily and muttered, “We’re on the streets, with everyone watching. Are you sure you’re not crazy?”

Immediately he said seriously, “You’re my wife. Isn’t it normal for a husband and wife to be close?”

“Where are your manners as a scholar? Have you fed them to the dogs?”

Longyue felt that if she said something unpleasant, he would probably be angry. However, this fellow still had a smile on his face as he said in a low voice, “Etiquette is for the woman you don’t love. If you love her… how could you care so much?”
Longyue rolled her eyes at him. “Get lost. All you know is sweet talk! Oh right, you said that you went to visit your teacher. Did something really happen at your school?”

She looked at him strangely as if he was a thief.

Li Qingmu immediately said, “This has nothing to do with me!”

Great, this is a confession, she thought. It must have something to do with him!

“It really doesn’t matter, wife. I’m innocent!”

Li Qingmu was very aggrieved. He wanted to teach Qian Yia lesson, but he did not expect the matter to blow up so much that someone almost died.

Longyue held her forehead. Her own man was really worrisome. He actually caused such a big commotion over her.

“Well… Where’s Qian Yi? I heard that he fell into the toilet? What happened after that?”

Longyue held in her laughter as she thought about how that idiot must have felt deeply resentful at being defeated by her and her husband in succession.

Especially this time, Li Qingmu had actually forced him to fall into a pit… Pfft, hahaha!

Looking at the smile his little wife was suppressing, Li Qingmu was delighted. He reached out and touched the tip of her little nose. “Laugh if you want to!”

“Hahaha!”

Longyue laughed for a while until her tears were about to fall. Fortunately, she had very good self-control and restrained herself. She asked, “Where is he now? Someone almost died. He should have been sent to the authorities, right?”
“Yes, when he came out, the two constables could not bear to go forward. They chased him to the riverside to wash up before escorting him away. But…”

“But what?”

Seeing the hint of worry in his eyes, Longyue suddenly realized that something had probably happened.

After Qian Yi was detained in a cell, he was supposed to be interrogated, but for some reason, he was taken away by a mysterious person. The authorities did not mention anything about this matter. I’m afraid there’s something going on…”
Longyue frowned. A bad feeling came over her. She seemed to have caught on to something, but it disappeared in a flash.

“Has he returned to the village?”

“No, it’s said that Second Madam Qian has been busy with his affairs these past few days. He probably hasn’t returned yet.”

“Then this matter is not simple.”
