Chapter 711: Chapter 711 Only She Can Abandon Me
The two bumped into Qiao Changshun, who was driving an ox cart, at the entrance of the vige.
After Tong Tiehu scolded Tong Xingdast night, he drove the cart taking Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi to the manor. When they recounted the situation, Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe became frantic. How could this have happened!
But for all their worries, they were powerless. All they could do was wait.
After a restless night, having eaten breakfast, Qiao Changshun hurried back to Anping Vige today.
“We’re fine,” Qiao Xiaomai assured him.
“Did you two really go to Zhu Family Vige and smash their house?” Qiao Changshun asked.
“Of course we did. Else, why would we even bother making such a long trip in the middle of the night?” Qiao Xiaomai responded with a matter-of-fact tone.
On hearing this, Qiao Changshun paused, then pped his thigh in dismay, “Sang is now a schr. How could he be involved in such a crude act! Besides, they are family, this…”
“Enough,” Qiao Xiaomai interrupted him impatiently, “So, it’s okay for Zhu Hongyun to conspire against Zhaodi and Yindi, but it’s not okay for me to retaliate by smashing her house? What kind of robber logic is this!”<div>
“What’s your n? Just stand by and watch as Zhaodi and Yindi get thrown in jail, or get flogged?”
“They did not steal anything, we can exin that.”
“Exin how? You think you can exin it to Sang’s mother who’s been hurling usations with her hands on her hips?” Qiao Xiaomai rolled his eyes, “Fine, fine, you and mama need not worry about this. Now that we’re back in the vige, Sang, help dad with the cart.”
Tong Sang responded affirmatively, handed the reins to Qiao Xiaomai, climbed onto Qiao Changshun’s ox cart and said, “Dad, let’s go.”
Qiao Changshun “…”
Looking at the impatient Qiao Xiaomai, he sighed, “You go on then, your mama has cooked. She left some for you and Sang.”
“I know,” was all Qiao Xiaomai said as he flicked the reins, and the ox cart dashed off towards the manor.
Qiao Changshun couldn’t help but sigh, “Sang, ever since Xiaomai took charge of our family, she’s been somewhat domineering. She is stubborn, reckless and doesn’t think about the consequences. Please don’t take her words to heart.”
“She’s great,” Tong Sang smiled, “She’s not unreasonable, she won’t lose her temper without cause.”
“Well, that’s true, but she’s overly aggressive when she gets angry. Try to advise her more.”
Men, after all, prefer their women to be a bit more gentle. He genuinely feared that if Qiao Xiaomai continued this way, Tong Sang might grow weary of her.
“Alright.” Tong Sangplied.
He hoped that Qiao Xiaomai would never lose her temper like she didst night. He wanted her to experience only the beauty and goodness this world had to offer.
He hoped to provide a safe haven for her, where she wouldn’t be disturbed. And he had a long journey ahead of him.
“Dad, rest assured, I know your concerns. Xiaomai and I will support each other no matter what happens; this will never change. Truth be told, even if I someday pass the imperial exam, considering her strong will, I’d still be the one who is lucky to have her.”
“Only she can leave me, not the other way around.”
At Tong Sang’s candid remark, Qiao Changshun felt a bit awkward and uneasily rubbed his hands, “Stop with the nonsense. It’s good the way you two are.”
“It will get even better.” Tong Sang pursed his lips. His eyes were full of resolve.@@novelbin@@
Meanwhile, Qiao Xiaomai arrived at the manor where Zhuang Luhe was leading Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi in making Dried Sweet Potatoes. On seeing her arrive and learning that she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, Luhe served the food she had kept for her.
