Chapter 15: Protecting the Short
Meng Yuxuan was also looking at Shangguan Huan when she spoke. When she encountered such a thing, she was also unexpected. Knowing that something like this would happen, she wouldn't have sent hawthorn cakes at all. Not only will they not send it, but they will not even participate in the 100-day banquet of the village chief's family. After all, I also want to integrate into the village by giving gifts, hoping that the villagers will no longer reject them as outsiders, which is self-defeating.
She knew that Shangguan Huan was the person who hated trouble the most. If not, he wouldn't have lived here for many years and had little contact with the villagers. It can be seen how tired he is of those trivial things. Now not only has she not improved her relationship with the villagers, but she has also brought a grudge back, I'm afraid that this man will hate her even more, right?
Ay! Originally, the stiff atmosphere between them had improved a little because of Shangguan Xi, but this time it was back to the beginning, and it might even be worse. It's a big fire!
"The old lady doesn't care what others say. The old lady only knows one fact, that is, my precious grandson vomited only one breath, and all this was caused by you. The woman, that is, the little dog's grandmother Tang, glared at Meng Yuxuan, looking very hideous. That snarky appearance is no better than her in-laws, Xiao Chen.
Meng Yuxuan walked over and looked at Tang indifferently.
Usually Meng Yuxuan is like a sleeping cat, looking lazy and weak, and she meows like a coquettish to everyone, but when she is really angry, she will know that it is a tiger.
At this time, it was time for Meng Yuxuan to stretch out her tiger claws. Her eyes, her breath, that is what only people who have died once have. Murderous? Wrong! That's dead air!
"After talking for a long time, you just want silver?" Shangguan Huan grabbed Meng Yuxuan. The rough palm was burning hot, tightly attached to her hand.
It was the first time they had touched each other. When the two pairs of eyes met, Meng Yuxuan saw comfort in Shangguan Huan's eyes, and Shangguan Huan saw stubbornness in Meng Yuxuan's eyes.
At that moment, Meng Yuxuan's heart was shaken. When she is vulnerable, having such a strong harbor for her to rely on is the happiest thing. Could it be that this is why God arranged for her to return to this man? In her previous life, did she end up like that because she went the wrong way here? God asked her to go back in time, just to let her correct her mistakes.
God wants to tell her: this man is where you belong. Why bother to go far?
Perhaps, she can be reborn just to come back and give this cold man a complete home.
So happy! It feels really good to have a man to rely on. Is he her sweetheart? Will he always support all her decisions like this?
"Silver, of course. My good grandson was killed by her......" Tang didn't finish his words, only to see an arm wave over, and she instinctively swung her fist.
As her fat fist met the powerful fist, she heard a click, and then her hand drooped.
"Ahh Tang screamed, grabbed his right arm with his left hand, and squatted down with a pale face.
Meng Yuxuan looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
Shangguan Huan took her hand and looked at Tang Shi very coldly, his eyes were full of disdain: "Who is right and who is wrong in this matter, God knows you know and I know, don't say five taels of silver, even five cents will not be given, get out." Otherwise...... I'll just throw it out. ”
At this time, many villagers had already heard the excitement and rushed over. They watched the Tang clan eat deflated here in Shangguan Huan, and they were particularly relieved one by one. Although this Tang family is not from the village, his daughter married into the village and often walks around here. Every time she saw something good in someone's house, she always took some of it openly and secretly. Relying on her good skills, the villagers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
"This old thing really doesn't know whether to live or die. Who is Xi'er's father? That's a capable person who has killed a tiger and a black bear, how can her three-legged cat's kung fu be compared? Someone said.
"Not really. Running to other people's homes to stir up trouble, and looking for trouble in front of other men, this woman is really stupid and hopeless. A mother-in-law said gloomily.
Meng Yuxuan listened to the conversation of those people, and the words 'other people's men' kept circling in her mind. She blushed and didn't wake up from her drowsy state until she was pulled into the house by Shangguan Huan.
"That's how you were bullied?" Shangguan Huan looked at her coldly.
"It's not about being bullied. It's the hawthorn cake I sent that caused trouble. Meng Yuxuan thought that he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he simply said a few words.
After finishing speaking, she found that Shangguan Huan's face was wrong. Looking at his right arm, the wound there was ripped open and blood seeping out.
She exclaimed, hurriedly grabbed his hand, and said anxiously, "Did you use your strength when you hit that woman just now?" How could you be careless? Now sit here and don't move, I'll go find something to bandage and make medicine for you." Well...... The medicine is gone. But it doesn't matter, I'll go and earn money tomorrow so that I can buy medicine for you and Xi'er. ”
Meng Yuxuan's brain was in chaos when she saw Shangguan Huan's blood. Even she didn't know what kind of nonsense she was saying.
She turned to leave, but one arm grabbed her and pulled her back. A pair of delicate eyes looked at her, and the two were so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing.
Shangguan Huan's eyes are like fireflies in the night, they are so bright in the dark, but they can only burn for a moment. The warmth and light it brings to people is only for a moment.
Bang bang! Bang bang! The sound of a fierce heartbeat is like the sound of a rabbit running. The man's peculiar aura filled her nose, and the man's predatory eyes frightened her from raising her head.
How so? She's the number one Oiran who has been rolling among men for countless years! Although I haven't experienced anything with men and women, but I've seen and heard a lot, how can I be as useless as a little seedling who has never seen a man? What kind of man would be able to escape her Five Finger Mountain if she wanted to? What's more, her current appearance is much better than in her previous life, and she is more tempting to men. But in the face of this man, she actually felt powerless, and she had no chance of winning at all. Isn't he a wooden man who doesn't understand amorous feelings? How do you look like a love veteran?
"What's wrong?" The man's eyes were too oppressive, and Meng Yuxuan took a step back, dodging his gaze.
"Why?" The man looked at her condescendingly. Reaching out and grabbing her arm, he pulled her back.
A rat scurried under their feet. Meng Yuxuan, who was thinking about it just now, was startled by the big mouse, and also understood the reason why the man pulled her.
It makes her think too much! It turned out that she was afraid that she would step on a mouse. Is this to protect her, or is it to protect the rats? Meng Yuxuan thought sullenly.
"What, why?" Meng Yuxuan pursed her red lips and glared at the man opposite unhappily.
The man hooked her chin, his fingertips running over her lips, and his eyes darkened a little.
A strong manly breath rushed towards her, like the eyes of a wild beast seeing its prey reappeared, and the air was full of ambiguity.
Meng Yuxuan's already breathless heart was pinched tightly again. She tried to get out of here, but the man grabbed her and made it impossible for her to escape.
"Why would you rather be wronged than stay? Why do you want to earn money to buy medicine for our father and son? Why not take advantage of this peerless face to find a better one to rely on. It's simple for you, isn't it? Don't tell me to repay you for saving your life. You are not the kind of woman who does not care about her own interests in order to repay the favor. Shangguan Huan laughed mockingly.
"How come I'm not that kind of woman? I'm here to repay the favor. Meng Yuxuan looked at him stubbornly.
"In order to repay the favor, so stay and be my woman? So, you willingly want to be my wife? Shangguan Huan raised his eyebrows and said.
Wife? This one......
Although she also thought about it, it was still quite embarrassing when it was really put on the surface.
Will it be too fast?
She had thought it would be better to go with the flow.
"Don't you want me to stay?" Meng Yuxuan pressed her hand against Shangguan Huan's chest, wanting to keep his breath away from her.
Shangguan Huan looked at her silently. I don't know what he's thinking, just keep looking at her. At first, she was uncomfortable, but after being looked at by him for a long time, she became more and more calm.
"If you want to stay, you can stay!" Shangguan Huan said lightly: "One more person can still afford it." However, if you let me know that you are not good for Xi'er, it will not be as simple as cutting off your hand. ”
Meng Yuxuan looked at his back, gritted her teeth and said, "Who is raising whom now?" Hum! One day, I will surely make you completely surrender to me. ”
"Yes, sooner or later, Daddy will completely surrender to his mother." Shangguan Xi hid behind the door and nodded and said, "I support my mother." Motherhood is the most profitable. ”
"Stinky boy, how long have you been hiding here eavesdropping?" Meng Yuxuan squatted down and said angrily: "However, thank you for caring about me." Xi'er is so cute. ”
Shangguan Xi looked at her with a pair of flexible eyes, his little face raised slightly, and said sweetly: "Of course." My mother is good to me, and I will be good to my mother. ”
"So, the little man who is the best for his mother, will he be willing to help me pick hawthorn later?" Meng Yuxuan pinched his little face and said.
"Of course I do. Do you still want to sell hawthorn cakes, though? Shangguan Xi tilted his little face and looked puzzled. It's not that ...... Is it easy to be poisoned? What if something like this happens again? But you can sell it if you want. We can sell it while stating what contraindications it has. After a long time, everyone will know what is going on. ”
"Creek is so smart. That's what I thought, too. The children's favorite rock sugar gourd is made of hawthorn, and nothing terrible has happened before, and it will not happen in the future. Meng Yuxuan said: "We can sell pastries while explaining what kind of food hawthorn is compatible with, and everyone can avoid those dangerous things after they know it." ”
"Xi'er hasn't been to the town yet, so I really want to go to the town! Mother, you can help me talk to my father! Shangguan Xi shook Meng Yuxuan's arm.
Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Xi helplessly and shook her head gently: "This ...... I can't be the master. Your father has warned me more than once to leave your business alone. ”
