Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: What’s the use of cursing at me?
 

The person he had sent to monitor them had previously told him that after Wu Lingxi’s family had rented a house, they had immediately held a wedding ceremony without any guests or elder relatives present.

Wu Changcai had no idea how the person before him knew all this, but with a knife at his throat, his life was at stake, and this time he was much more cooperative, quickly answering with a clear “Yes, yes.”

Xue Shi nodded before continuing to ask, “When did you become involved with Wu Lingxi?”

“Quite, quite early.”

“I’m asking you for a specific time,” Xue Shi said, his complexion seeming off.

Wu Changcai trembled and loudly said, “Mid-April last year!”

Upon hearing this, Xue Shi cursed internally, realizing that the blood had indeed been fake, and his Xue Bai had been completely deceived!

He then composed himself and continued to ask, “Does Wu Lingxi’s family know about this?”

“Know, know, we were caught by her family once. Her family demanded that I marry her and even secretly invited my parents to their house, but my parents disagreed and refused to give a single dollar, even saying if things escalated, it would shame both families, so who would be afraid of whom. Her family was furious but also feared the bad reputation if it got out, so they didn’t want me to have any more entanglements with her and sold her instead,” said Wu Changcai without a lie.

Xue Shi now understood why Wu Lingxi had initially been sold.

“Is everything you said true?” Xue Shi still asked.

Wu Changcai, startled and thinking that Xue Shi doubted him, worried for the knife at his neck, immediately responded, “If you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and arrest my family and hers to see if our statements match. I really told the truth, not a single lie. Please don’t kill me!”

Xue Shi ignored him and simply ordered, “Take him away and keep an eye on him.”

“Yes!” someone immediately took Wu Changcai away.

Xue Shi then said, “Alright, open your eyes.”

Emperor Hao opened his eyes but was still lazily sprawled as if boneless.

Now, Xue Shi showed that he was very angry, “Dirty as that, and still daring to slander Xue Bai! Shameless!”

Emperor Hao lazily supported his chin with one hand, “What’s the use of cursing at me? Xue Bai was called home and won’t be back in town until tomorrow. Can’t we just talk to Bai Bai about this tomorrow?”

The day had darkened, and because Xue Bai’s wedding was at the end of next month, although his family would be anxious about the wedding preparations, sometimes the groom needed to return home to discuss matters. So, today, Xue Bai had been called back home due to the wedding, and they indeed could only wait until tomorrow.

Even if Xue Shi disagreed, he had no choice but to nod.

The next day, after having breakfast at home, Xue Bai was ready to head back to town. Li Hehua hurriedly asked him to wait and then handed him a food box.

“Inside are pastries Mom made. Take them to Wenwan. She’s studying hard to become a female teacher, and it’s brain-consuming work.”

“Hmm,” Xue Bai cheerfully accepted.

Li Hehua then gave him a significantly larger food box, “The pastries in this one are for the kids at home. Make sure you have them share.”

“Got it, Mom.”

Then, with one large and one small food box in hand, Xue Bai returned to town.

He didn’t rush to meet up with his brother Xue Shi at the main shop to continue learning things from their uncle. Instead, upon arriving, he first visited Shengming Academy.

In the county, Wu Lingxi awoke before dawn, only to find herself in a clinic.
