Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 549: Yuanbao Sequel

Chapter 549: Yuanbao Sequel

I was the most liked child in the village.

The elders always said I was the cutest one.

But the children in the village said, I was a bastion without a mother.

I remember my mother.

Her whole body was shiny, but I couldn’t see her face clearly.

I always dreamed of her when I slept.

She was wearing a bright red dress and holding me.

But I couldn’t see her face clearly.

I wanted to ask her why she abandoned me.

Was it because I was disobedient?

If I stop bullying uncle, will she come back?

Dad spoiled me, but he never talked about mom.

An old man came to our village.

He said my mother was coming.

And there will also be a husband for me.

I saw a flash of joy on dad’s face, but it changed in a blink of an eye.

I guess he misses mom too.

I asked dad when mom would come back, and what my little husband looks like.

Dad said there were only refugees down the hill, mom won’t be there.

I cried for my mom, and he could only walk out the door with a gloomy face.

Each passing day, more people climbed up the hill.

Then the uncles would ask me to check if my mom was among them.

None of them were her.

None of them wore a red dress or glowed.

But I believe in the old man.

Because he found the lost cattle of the village.

Finally, one day, I saw my mother.

She was glowing all over.

Her arms felt so warm.

But mom had to leave, she said when they settled down they would come to visit me.

I agreed.

Mom must be busy with important things.

I met Xiaoqi.

Even though he doesn’t glow, I knew, he was my little husband.

Although mom left, I gained a little husband and a sister.

Xiaoqi always ignored me, but I enjoyed being with him.

I didn’t know why he always looked stern, and was cold to everyone.

But I knew he liked me too.

He would bring back some pastries whenever he went down the hill.

Even though they were kept with Yueyue, they were always the flavours I adored.

Sometimes it would be pretty hairbands, or little trinkets from down the hill.

It wasn’t only Yueyue that got them.

There was another batch just for me.

The little husband was quite stubborn.

But he was my little husband, I enjoyed his stubbornness regardless.

Mom didn’t come back, she lied.

Uncle said medicine for Yueyue’s illness needed to be bought in Yan City, I insisted on going with Dad.

Xiaoqi still had the same stern expression, he was like a cold, hard rock.

He grew a little taller.

But whenever we walked together, he would unconsciously slow down his pace.

I saw my mom!

Though she looked a bit different.

But there was still the shiny glow on her head!

Mom didn’t dare claim me, but I recognized her.

Dad was foolish, he couldn’t recognize her.

I sneaked into mom’s house again.

And I saw Brother Zhiyu!

I knew I didn’t recognize the wrong person!

Dad decided to go find people with Brother Xiaoqi, and I moved into mom’s house.

At night, she would tell me stories and hold me in her arms while sleeping.

I felt so happy.

I was a child who had a mother.

We went back to the village, but not long after, Yueyue’s condition got worse.

My relationship with Xiaoqi worsened too.

I thought what dad said made sense, if I’m the only one who is happy to do something while the other party doesn’t actively participate, that’s a refusal.

I’m already a five-year-old child, I should have my own thoughts.

I met that old gentleman again, he said, he can take me to Yan City to buy medicine for Yueyue.

I sneaked away some silver that belonged to my uncle and went to Yan City with him.

I went to find my mother.

I miss her so much.

Mother helped me buy ginseng, I took them back to the village.

Yueyue got better, we moved again to Datian Village together.

But it was strange, the fields suddenly smelled bad and many rats appeared,

Dad said, something bad was going to happen.

Godfather came to the village with people, everyone together killed those disgusting rats.

I saw my mother.

My mother in that red dress, who has the same eyes as mine.

I don’t know why I wanted to cry, but I still threw myself into her arms.

This is my mother.

My own mother.

Something happened in the village again.

Zhuzi has disappeared.

His grandma became insane, claiming Xiaoqi killed her grandson.

I looked at Xiaoqi, he didn’t say anything, just like before, still with a straight face.

No one expected, Zhuzi’s grandmother would push Xiaoqi into the water.

I saw the dagger in his hand.

He also saw me.

He let go of the dagger, along with the hand stretched out by Zhuzi’s grandma, dropped into the river.

By the time I came back to my sense, tears were already falling into the river.

The river is so cold, does Xiaoqi feel cold in there too?

I cannot hate Zhuzi’s grandma.

I know Zhuzi’s disappearance must have something to do with Xiaoqi.

But my Little Master has disappeared.

The Little Master who was always secretly kind to me left Datian Village with the river.

Left me.

The rats are gone, but there came the monsters that eat humans.

We moved into Yan City.

Everyone is working hard together just to survive.

Brother Zhiyu and the others will take care of me, but I still miss my Little Master very much.

Aunt Miaomiao gave birth to a baby, she named him Sheng Sheng.

Shengsheng which means endless life.

Those monsters died outside the city.

It started raining again.

The soil on the ground started to sprout again.

The crops my mother planted are growing fast, we finally won a battle again.

But my Little Master hasn’t returned.

Yueyue said, Xiaoqi will surely come back.

I nodded, sitting with my brothers on the city tower, looking at the wasteland afar.

Sunrise and sunset, there will always be spectacular sunlight.

Just like when we were at Qing Fenghan.

We three sat on the mountaintop, watching the sun slowly rise from behind the mountains to illuminate the earth, and also watched the sunset slowly returning behind the distant mountains.

We saw Aunt Miaomiao.

She drove the mule cart out of Yan City alone.

Brother Zhiyu said, she was going to find her husband.

We watched as the setting sun stretched her and the cart’s shadows long.

Then slowly disappeared from our sight.

But before we could go home, we saw the mule cart slowly reappear in our sight.

Behind her, was a vast army.

And a flock of bleating sheep.

"Yuanbao, do you see that? Is that your Little Master?"

Brother Zhiyu pointed in the direction of the flock of sheep.

And said to me.

"Yuanbao! That’s my brother! He’s back!"

Yueyue’s eyes were wide, the candy in his mouth almost fell out.

I saw my Little Master again.

He wasn’t riding a horse but a camel, returned to my side again.

Later, dad told me, due to changes in the court, rebellions happened everywhere, the court issued a decree to suppress bandits.

Even though we settled in Yan City, due to our large population, and many of us in the village were former knights, those uncles and elder brothers would probably be forced to go north.

But Xiaoqi saved the soldiers of the government and made merits in suppressing bandits, along with the guarantee from godfather and twelfth uncle, this saved Qing Fenghan a lot of trouble.
