Chapter 235: Chapter 237 I Want Him to Pick Up Personally_1 Chapter 235: Chapter 237 I Want Him to Pick Up Personally_1 “If you’re worried about us speaking out, I can only say I won’t. You can be at ease,” Muniang said indifferently.
Xia Bing stared steadily at Muniang. “I know you won’t speak.” She had once witnessed Muniang catching Qiao Lianhua seducing Wu Haoli. With such a huge grudge between the sisters, she didn’t utter a word of it to anyone.
Muniang was astonished for a mont. “Then why have you co to find us?”
Xia Bing paused, glanced at Yu Ze beside Muniang, and then said to Muniang, “I just want to talk to you.”
Muniang looked at Xia Bing leisurely. Her eyes were still red, but the look in them was no longer the pitiful one she had when pleading for rcy at the Village Head’s house that morning. Now, they were filled with resoluteness. Muniang asked herself, if Xia Bing had not sched against her in the past, then setting aside her character and looking solely at her intelligence and rationality, she actually quite admired this woman.
Xia Bing remained silent, simply waiting patiently for Muniang’s response.
Muniang said, “Speak quickly, do you have sothing to say or so condition to negotiate?”
“I’m saying this for your own good. If you feel there are things he can hear,” Xia Bing’s words now carried a subtle threat.
Muniang blinked. “Are you trying to sow discord now? We’re not that easy to deceive.”
Xia Bing bit her lip and said nothing, insisting on having a private conversation with Muniang. Yu Ze suddenly turned around. “I’ll go inside first.”
Muniang was actually quite surprised at his tact; she thought he would insist on listening.
Muniang said to Xia Bing, “Speak now.”
“Before I married into the Zhang Family, I truly did lose a child. Do you know whose child that was?”
“I’m not interested.”
“It was Qiao Dalang’s,” Xia Bing spoke emotionally. “He forced into a sordid affair. And after learning I was pregnant, he pushed down the mountain, trying to kill . Luckily, I was fortunate to survive.”
“So what?”
Xia Bing was surprised by Muniang’s calm, but continued, “Look at now, how can I let him go unpunished? It’s all his doing that I’m in this state!”
Muniang clicked her tongue secretly, suddenly understanding what Yu Ze had once said. A person like Xia Bing would not let herself be outdone. Seeing her return to the Zhang Family as hopeless, she was now setting her sights on Qiao Dalang.
“These matters seem to have nothing to do with .”
“Do you not know, the embroidery room that collapsed overnight was actually destroyed by Qiao Dalang. During the two months when you were clear-headed and away, he spread rumors about you all over the village and insulted you. Don’t you care about that? Do you really want to let him continue living carefree?”
Muniang sneered. “You’re telling all this because you want my help with sothing? I’m not foolish enough to be manipulated by soone.”
Xia Bing found talking with Muniang exceptionally draining; Muniang could always instantly see through your intentions. It seed there was nothing you could hide from her.
Still, Xia Bing wouldn’t admit defeat. “You help get married into the Qiao family, and I can spend a lifeti helping you deal with them!”
Muniang laughed. “Why should I trust you?”
“Because I hate them just like you do!” Xia Bing said bitterly.
“I’m not interested.” Muniang turned to leave.
But Xia Bing called out to her, “That ti when you risked your life to go up the mountain, does Erliang know about you and Wu Haoli hugging and embracing each other at the foot of the mountain?!”
Muniang paused in her steps, her eyes growing cold, “Oh, so after all that talk, this is what you wanted to say?”
Xia Bing said, “I could always keep it to myself, but—”
“Go ahead and spread it,” Muniang sneered, “I detest being threatened most in my life. If you have the gall, just do it and see if it can affect even the slightest. But let warn you, Qiao Muniang has always been one to repay debts. The mont you release the news, I will make sure you regret it. Let’s just see who wins this fight!”
After saying that, she didn’t pay any more attention to Xia Bing, went straight into the residence, leaving Xia Bing alone in the windy chaos. Xia Bing had co with the mindset that she would definitely succeed, but she hadn’t expected Qiao Muniang to be so unpredictable; she didn’t even know what to say for a mont.
When Muniang returned to her room, Yu Ze was already lying on the recliner, reading a book but obviously not focused. Muniang walked over and took the book from his hands, “What are you doing?”
Yu Ze looked at her faintly, “When did this hugging and embracing happen?”
Muniang felt a row of black lines form on her forehead, “Were you eavesdropping?” No wonder he had agreed so nonchalantly earlier; he had wanted to overhear the so-called ‘secrets’ Xia Bing could not tell him.
Yu Ze frowned, “I have good hearing.”
Muniang smiled helplessly, “There was no hugging and embracing. That ti, I waited at the foot of the mountain for an entire night and fainted from exhaustion. Wu Haoli just happened to pass by and caught ; otherwise, I would have rolled onto the ground covered in mud and water.”
Yu Ze’s expression remained dark, “He happened to pass by there?”
“Alright, he was there to find . Didn’t you hear about the trouble at the Embroidery House? He was planning to lend a hand, but coincidentally found unconscious.”
Yu Ze fell silent.
Muniang thought he was still angry, so she cuddled up and burrowed into his arms, “Please, I know I was wrong, don’t be mad. Next ti, I won’t let any other man touch even if I have to roll on the ground.”
Yu Ze wrapped his arms around Muniang’s waist, his voice deep, “Next ti, I will catch you myself. From now on, I will protect you, ensuring that you won’t have to suffer the slightest injustice.”
Muniang was stunned for a mont, then smiled, “I know. My husband is the Marshal of the Nation, what do I have to be afraid of?”

“Miss, we have arrived at Puhai. We will be able to enter Qinghua City today,” a young girl dressed as a maid said respectfully, clearly a well-trained servant from a wealthy family.
He Suxue nodded, “That’s good.”
Originally, when she decided to co to Qinghua City, she had asked her father to find out Yu Ze’s whereabouts. But sohow, the trail always ended at Qinghua City. Just when she thought it was hopeless, Black Panther, a minion once planted in Qinghua City by Pri Minister Kong, happened to escape back to the Capital City.
Now that he had been caught, with no way to make a living, he was willing to divulge information for silver. Mr. He purchased the information about Yu Ze’s location with a hefty sum, and only then did He Suxue learn that Yu Ze was actually in Chatu Town. After nearly three months of exhausting travel by carriage, she finally arrived here.
The carriage was naturally slow, especially since she was physically weak and couldn’t endure long rides. However, the thought of Yu Ze kept her going, even though it ant they proceeded much slower.
“Miss, what if the heir is not happy when we get there?” Hong Xin asked worriedly.
Suxue bit her lip, “I am already his designated wife, by the command of our parents. Besides, the He Family is not to be trifled with. How could he dare do anything to ?”
Though Suxue spoke confidently, her heart ached terribly. She had waited for him for so many years, thinking that even a heart of stone would have ward by now. But now, all she could rely on was the influence of her family and the so-called parental decree to bolster her confidence.
