Chapter 349: 333 Part one

Xu Xuezi interrupted Xiao’ou, showing some interest in the past between Su Xiaofeng and Yecheng, "You said."

"After Su Xiaofeng became pregnant, she flirted with Young Master Gu, and eventually, somehow, she deceived him into marrying her."

"So, you’re saying that Young Master Gu and Su Xiaofeng are legally married, they have already registered."

This was something the Young Lady hadn’t considered, nor had she.

However, she had asked around the streets for a while, and everyone’s statements were basically consistent, all saying the two were married. Although the wedding ceremony wasn’t grand, the nearby villagers had all spontaneously attended.

Because many villagers attended, everyone paid quite a bit of attention to this matter.

Listening to this, Xu Xuezi stood up immediately, her expression agitated, nearly stepping forward to grab the other’s collar, "What did you say? Yecheng married her?"

How could this be possible?

Yecheng had stayed here for three years, and if it was because of loneliness that he sought women, she could understand. But he was the son of the Gu Family, how could he possibly marry her?

What was her status? She was just a country girl, without status or family background, at most her looks were passable.

But he was Yecheng. If he liked beautiful women, he could find plenty—why would he like a country girl?

Impossible, there must be some mistake.

"Captain Yin, could you have gotten your information wrong? How could this be possible? Young Master Gu comes from a wealthy and distinguished family. He is the object of many noble young ladies in the Imperial Capital; how could he possibly marry that country woman?" Xiao’ou also couldn’t believe it.

Compared to a woman named Su Xiaofeng, the Young Lady was far more noble. Young Master Gu would never choose any woman other than the Young Lady unless he was out of his mind.

"Young Lady, whether they are truly married or it’s a sham, just a check at the Civil Affairs Office will tell us." This issue actually wasn’t difficult.

"I don’t care whether their marriage is real or fake. Previously, I thought Su Xiaofeng’s child shouldn’t be born, but now it seems Su Xiaofeng herself cannot stay. If she remains by Yecheng’s side, everyone will know the three years I waited for Yecheng in the Imperial Capital was a joke." Xu Xuezi’s body trembled, her heart filled with nothing but hatred.

She had waited in the Imperial Capital for Yecheng for three years, only to find out that Yecheng had married and had children in a small town. What did Yecheng take her for?

"Young Lady, what Young Master Gu did was indeed too much, how could he do this? Doesn’t he know you waited for him in the Imperial Capital for three years?" Xiao’ou spoke up for her Young Lady indignantly.

"We can’t blame Yecheng. Yecheng has been away for three years; if there were women flirting or hooking up with him, being a man and succumbing to temptation is forgivable." Xu Xuezi sat down, her eyes cold, "Yin Li, where is she now?"

"In the county town."

"It’s good we didn’t go to Lihua Village to look for her; otherwise, it might have been a wasted trip." Xiao’ou was relieved they had not gone to Lihua Village yesterday, or it would have been a trip in vain.

"She’s doing quite well locally now. I heard her factory has multiplied in size within half a year, but I haven’t found out the exact location yet. But I did find out the name of her factory, Lihua Food Factory."

"Captain Yin, you’re amazing. How did you manage to find out so many useful pieces of information in one outing?" Xiao’ou listened to Yin Li’s words and suddenly felt she was incredible for being able to uncover so much within just over an hour.

Having locals here probably wasn’t a difficult task.

They had traveled together from the Imperial Capital, arriving here unfamiliar with the place, yet in just over an hour, she had gathered much information.

"I’m not like you guys." Yin Yu said expressionlessly, "This is the countryside; getting a bit of information isn’t too difficult." She was, after all, an intelligence officer for the Xu Family. If she couldn’t even gather this bit of information, it would be a waste of her skills.

"Yin Li, hurry and find Su Xiaofeng for me. Right now, I wish I could eat her flesh and drink her blood."

Yecheng had married, and to a country girl at that.

If it had been a woman of comparable status, she might have thought that she wasn’t good enough and that it was understandable why Yecheng didn’t choose her.

But the difference between her and Su Xiaofeng was like heaven and earth. She couldn’t possibly concede to such a woman, and she wouldn’t.

"Now that we’re in town, let’s go down. Once in town, it’ll be easier to find information." Those country folks probably don’t know exactly where in town Su Xiaofeng’s family lives. If they did, they would have already mentioned it.

"That’s great. Finally, we can leave this place. I was so cold last night. The blanket was so thin, not nearly enough. I saw the Young Lady was curled up from the cold."

"I didn’t sleep at all last night." Upon close inspection, one could indeed see that Xu Xuezi looked unwell. Because she had removed her makeup, the dark shadows under her eyes were severe, and her skin was sallow, "It was cold and I was hungry; when have I ever suffered like this."

"Young Lady, you’ve really put a lot of effort into it for Mr. Gu." Xiao’ou immediately continued, "As long as that woman is out of the picture, you can rest easy."

Yin Li had already started packing, "There are a lot of snacks outside, let’s go down and eat breakfast, then head to the city afterwards."

"I don’t want to go." Xu Xuezi watched the crowded street below, reluctant to join, "Look at them, dressed like country bumpkins, and some even have mud on them. I won’t squeeze in with them, it’s too degrading."

"Alright, I thought you wanted to go." Not long after, she returned with several deep-fried dough sticks and buns.

"Why are there buns and fried dough sticks?" Xu Xuezi looked at the unrefined buns and dough sticks in front of her with little appetite.

Yin Li was out of patience, taking a bun and biting into it, "Young Lady, it seems you’re not hungry yet. When you really are, you’ll find these things even more delicious than meat."

"Young Lady, have something to eat. This is just a small town, conditions here are just so-so, let’s make do and not starve ourselves." Xiao’ou handed Xu Xuezi a meat bun.

Xu Xuezi was really hungry by then, and despite saying so, she already grabbed it and cautiously took a bite.

It tasted good, even better than what her family’s chef made.

After a simple breakfast, the three of them packed their bags and headed to the bus station. Their height, appearance, and demeanor were all quite outstanding in the town, drawing a lot of attention.

Their suitcases were also very exquisite, clearly very valuable.

As they boarded the bus, their three suitcases caught people’s attention.

"Put your luggage on the roof, the bus is crowded, and the luggage occupies space," the ticket collector told them as soon as they boarded.

It was the end of the year, and the buses to the city were especially crowded every day. The drivers crammed people in, hoping to fill every single spot.

When Xu Xuezi and her companions boarded, there were no seats left; they had to stand if they wanted to ride.

"Sister, this bus smells terrible," Xiao’ou complained as she boarded, feeling a violent churning in her stomach.

Xu Xuezi wasn’t feeling much better; she pinched her nose hard to block the stench, body odor, and smell of diesel from entering her nostrils, but it was futile as the odors still penetrated.

Yin Li seemed unaffected, asking others to help throw their luggage onto the roof.

"Ugh." Xiao’ou started to react, almost vomiting on a woman nearby.

Once Xiao’ou started, Xu Xuezi couldn’t hold back anymore, that nauseating smell almost overwhelming her.

Ugh—.

"What’s wrong with you, haven’t you ever ridden a bus before?" the woman next to them snapped, "Didn’t you see people sitting here? Where are you trying to vomit?"

She had just changed into new clothes that day, and now, before the bus even departed, these two were throwing up all over, even splashing some on her.

What bad luck.

"I’m not riding anymore, I want to get off," Xu Xuezi couldn’t take it anymore. She needed to get off; if she stayed any longer, she was sure she would die.

"Either sit or get off," the ticket collector glanced at the mess beneath their feet, a pool of vomit, "Look at this, why come on the bus if you can’t handle it? You’ve made my bus dirty, now help me clean it up."

"What kind of lousy bus is this, you think I’m keen to ride it?" Xu Xuezi managed to catch her breath, and hearing the ticket collector, she couldn’t hold back her anger, "If it were normal times, I would never ride this rotten bus. It smells awful, a real waste of money to suffer like this."

"My my," the ticket collector responded to Xu Xuezi’s comments, started to usher them off, "What kind of Young Lady are you, from where? My bus is smelly and rundown, and I’m not even keen on having you here, get off, get off."

Don’t want to ride, then don’t. No one is begging you, really funny.

"Ah, look," Xiao’ou watched as the bus really departed, stomping her foot in frustration, "Young Lady, what kind of place, what kind of people are these, can’t even talk properly here."

Xu Xuezi’s face turned pale from vomiting, her body weak.

It’s better now that they’re off, now that they’re relieved. That bus was really not fit for people; the mixture of different odors was especially nauseating and uncomfortable, her stomach couldn’t tolerate it at all.

She still couldn’t understand how Yecheng could have stayed in such a rundown, godforsaken place for three years.
