Chapter 183: Chapter 181: I’ll Go Too

"It wasn’t intentional! She thought it was a wrapped parcel!"

"The parcels were in another horse carriage! How could she possibly mistake a person for a parcel in a carriage full of people? Regardless of intent or not, who would be willing to travel with someone who throws their own child into the mouths of wolves? Who can guarantee that there will be no wolves or tigers along the way? Uncle Lin, would you dare? Aunt Shen, do you dare? Ladies and gentlemen, do you dare?" Xiao’er asked the surrounding villagers, all of whom shook their heads.

"Who would dare to deal with her!"

"It’s already merciful of me not to throw her directly into a wolf’s den!"

"There’s no logic in this!"

"We’ll never coexist from now on. Travel together? Disgusting!"

"I can’t do it unless you let me throw your child away for once!"

"Mistaking children for a wrapped parcel? Who would believe that! Those who believe are idiots!"

We risked our lives to protect her while she threw our children to the wolves to save her own! Only a madman would continue dealing with her! This grudge is irreconcilable!

"I really didn’t expect Mrs. Lan to be such a person, claiming to come from a scholarly family, how could she be so cruel?"

"Tsk, tsk...a woman’s heart is the deadliest!"

"She always acted superior, never thought her heart was also black!"

"I told you Shen Chengguang, how can you marry such a woman? Aren’t you afraid that she would sell you out one day?"

"Nonsense, my wife is knowledgeable and courteous, not like what you all are saying!" Shen Chengguang retorted angrily.

"Even those who are knowledgeable and courteous can do such things, they are simply scholarly scum! If I were you, I would have divorced her long ago, rather than letting her bring about the demise of the family later!" Village Chief’s father said angrily.

"My wife didn’t do it on purpose, she was just too scared!" If he divorced this wife, where could he find another one who was knowledgeable and courteous, and who put his and his son’s interests first?

Ever since his wife married into the family, his life at home had been getting better and better, as was his status!

But he can’t go against the Village Chief’s father; the Village Chief’s father rarely interferes with matters, and he usually isn’t at home, traveling around, but everyone respects his words!

Shen Chengguang dropped this statement and quickly left. He had come to slander Shen Chengyao, but he ended up slandering his own wife instead.

He should have restrained himself in this situation! Luckily, they were quite a long distance away from the Imperial Capital, and the news of this should not reach the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Bao’er is now acquainted with the Fourth Young Master of the Minister of the Right’s family, who even bought a house in the Imperial Capital for her and her mother to live in.

Prime Minister! A high-ranking official, something he didn’t even dare to dream of his whole life!

It’s nice to be under the shade of a big tree, Wen’er’s future career would surely skyrocket. Perhaps in ten or twenty years, he would inherit his father-in-law’s mantle and also become a prime minister.

Then he would be the father of a prime minister...

Xia’er, while walking, also laughed.

Shen Chengguang was indeed quite like Mrs. Shen, daring to publicize matters without thinking of the repercussions, and also having a vivid imagination!

Village Chief’s father shook his head while watching Shen Chengguang run off in chaos. Among Shen Rengui’s sons, only the third and fourth ones were decent young men.

"Village Chief, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you come to my house for dinner last night? You must come to my house for a meal today!" Shen Chengyao was still very happy to see the Village Chief. When he was a child, he played a lot with the Village Chief and received much love from him.

He naturally assisted the Village Chief into the house, putting the matter to rest for the moment.

"I got home quite late last night. You’re really something! I didn’t expect that after a few months of not seeing each other, you are now a Marquis."

"Thanks to the blessings of my children, I don’t have that ability," Shen Chengyao said with a smile.

The Village Chief nodded his head, which was why he liked him, for his honesty and sincerity.

"In a few days, the village is organizing a hunting trip deep into the mountains, are you going?"

"I’ve just arrived home, and there’s a lot to do, so I may not be able to go. Why is it so late this year?" Shen Chengyao gently declined.

He wanted to go himself. Last year, as the family was busy with the shop and building their house, he did not go. He didn’t know when they would settle in the Imperial Capital, so there were not many opportunities to go hunting with his village brothers.

"Nowadays, most of the people in the village rely on growing vegetables to earn some money for the New Year, and they don’t want to take risks, so very few people wanted to go when my unworthy son first organized it. But this tradition has been passed down from our old ancestors. We shouldn’t stop because we have slightly better conditions now. This is a survival skill and we can’t lose it! So you must also go!" The old Village Chief glared at Shen Chengyao.

If he, being a Marquis and the richest man in the village, goes hunting, he would like to see which of those young rascals would have the nerve not to go!

Shen Chengyao had already wanted to go in his heart, and thought that he would soon finish his affairs. Moreover, with his managerial abilities, he nodded easily,

"Alright. The day after tomorrow, right? I’ll definitely go!"

"The day after tomorrow, as usual, in groups of ten, we start at the time of Mao (5-7 am). Find your own teammates."

Shen Chengyao nodded, indicating that he understood.

The lunch naturally invited the Village Chief’s family to join. The Village Chief was very happy when he heard that Shen Chengyao was also going hunting.

"That’s good, I’ll inform everyone later, and definitely more people will go."

"Dad, I also want to go!" Xiao’er, hearing that she could go hunting, her eyes brightened. She loved this sport!

"I’ll also go, plus one!" Jingrui quickly raised his hand.

"I’ll also go, plus two!" Jinghao immediately followed.

"I’ll also go, plus three!" Fang Wenri also wanted to go! As a young man, who wouldn’t like to go hunting?

"I’ll also go, plus four!" Xi’er raised her chubby white hand.

Yun’er, who liked quietness, sat on the side and watched with a smile.

"Go where! Do you think this is a game? Stay at home properly!" Mrs. Liu was the first to refuse!

"Mother, I’m not afraid of wolves, let alone hunting with so many people?"

"Yes, mom has seen sister’s skills, they’re even better than dad’s, so don’t worry!" Jinghao quickly helped to speak, if Xiao’er could go, they would have more chances to go.

They had been training in archery under Xiao’er’s guidance for some time. Xiao’er always said that real combat experience brings quicker progress.

This hunting trip was a great opportunity for real combat experience!

Xiao’er gave Jinghao an approving look: Brother, you’re on the right track!

"Is this how you should be a son? In front of Uncle Village Chief and Grandpa Village Chief, can’t you save some face for your dad?" Shen Chengyao pretended to be angry and glared at Jinghao.

"I’m straightforward, don’t blame me, Dad!" Jinghao quickly smoothed things over with a laugh.

"So you mean my skills are inferior to Xiaoer’s?" Shen Chengyao asked seriously, looking at Jinghao.

Isn’t it obvious? Jinghao gave an internal eye roll, but on the surface, he started acting cute, "How could that be? Dad’s skills are much taller and longer than sister’s."

Though translating to being taller and having longer arms than Xiao’er, not being more skillful!

"Xiao’er, if you all go hunting, the accounts of the shop at home, and the things to be prepared for the New Year will all be left to your mother alone. I won’t be able to handle it!" Mrs. Liu started changing her tactics.

"Mother, don’t worry, this little thing can be done before I depart." She had a space-time tool, which was the greatest cheat for time, how could she not finish it?

"Your mother will be lonely at home alone!"

Xiaoer was silent for a moment. Lonely? This made it very easy for people to misunderstand!
