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

Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770: Catch Them All!
 

Emperor Hao frowned, a rare occurrence.

Given the short time that had elapsed, the matter was somewhat difficult to handle.

Wu Changcai was still trembling as he continued to speak while prostrate on the ground, “The night it happened, her sister-in-law got up to use the restroom, and I heard the door. She must have found out, and I almost died of fear at that moment, thinking they would catch us in bed again, but nothing happened. She behaved differently than before—it was as if she was giving us her blessing. I’m certain she would’ve told the rest of her family, yet they stopped caring about us. From then on, I would sneak over to her place at night, causing a racket without worry of being discovered by her family. Later, when I noticed her family’s living conditions had improved, I knew she must have brought back a substantial amount of money. That’s why, even when they heard noises, they did nothing and allowed us to carry on recklessly.”

Xue Shi also shivered.

Out of anger.

It wasn’t until Wu Changcai was taken away to be watched that he ordered someone, “Bring that sister-in-law here! No! Bring that shameless wretch’s entire family! And Wu Changcai’s family too! Get them all!”

“Yes!”

Shengming Academy.

Xue Bai first delivered a significantly larger food box to the children from their family at the academy before he went to find Yang Wenwan.

It was the middle of a class break; although the break wasn’t long, there was still time for a quick meeting.

Before Xue Bai could go in to find Yang Wenwan, some people began to tease her with news that her husband had come to see her. Since the betrothal gifts had been given, referring to him as her husband was justified, which left Yang Wenwan with a beet-red face as she hurriedly came out.

Seeing Yang Wenwan emerge, Xue Bai waited for her with a simple grin.

They stood beside an osmanthus tree that had long since passed its blooming season, no longer flowering but still lush and vibrant.

“My mother asked me to give you these pastries. She made them herself, since you’re studying to be a female teacher and it takes a lot of brainpower,” Xue Bai said with a goofy smile, passing the small food box to her.

Yang Wenwan knew her mother-in-law treated her well. Even before they were officially engaged, every time she visited his house, Li Hehua was always kind and gracious to everyone.

“Please thank your mother for me,” said Yang Wenwan in a soft voice.

“Mhm,” Xue Bai replied, his goofy smile growing even wider. His wife’s face was red again; she looked so adorable and beautiful.

After a few more words and seeing the teachers beginning to leave their quarters to resume classes, Xue Bai told Yang Wenwan to go back inside while he left Shengming Academy.

Two people now always accompanied him. They stepped forward to lead the horse tethered nearby over to him.

As Xue Bai grabbed the reins, prepared to ride to the main shop, someone approached and called out, “young prince.”

It was Wu Lingxi.

The two who accompanied Xue Bai knew why they were assigned to follow him, and upon seeing Wu Lingxi, immediately blocked her from getting close to Xue Bai.

“young prince…” Standing ten steps away from Xue Bai, blocked by his men, Wu Lingxi began to cry, appearing extremely fragile.

Xue Bai scratched his head, seemingly puzzled, but still he asked, “Didn’t you run off with Wu Changcai from next door? What are you doing here? Do you need something from me?”

He had actually gone out of his way to check on her before, but of course, he did it from a distance. Seeing her at ease, he would return home; he wanted to prevent any harm from coming to her as she had feared they might do to her after the fact.

Lately, when he went, he found she was no longer in the village; he had asked around in Wu Family Village and found out she had eloped with Wu Changcai.
