The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 1084 - 246: Did He Die_4

Chapter 1084: Chapter 246: Did He Die_4

"What has happened? Are you dragging the dead or the living?"

"Living, they were still moving just now! Did they commit a crime?"

People discussed without knowing what had happened, their curiosity piqued, they followed the cart all the way to the Zheng family’s main gate.

They called to open the gate, and the Zheng family’s servants came out. Seeing their young miss in such a state, they were nearly frightened silly and shouted to go back and report.

Old Lady Zheng, Eldest Madam Zheng, and Second Madam Zheng hastily rushed out.

"Yue Huan! Yue Huan! What happened to you?" Second Madam Zheng, seeing the blood covering her body, was shocked to the point her mind went blank.

Old Lady Zheng also went pale, "My granddaughter went to the General Mansion in good condition, how could she have ended up like this?"

The leading old servant looked at them coldly, "Miss Zheng said she was staying in the General Mansion to accompany Ms. Xie, but we do not know how she ended up at the training grounds. Our general mistook her for an assassin or spy, and that’s how Miss Zheng was accidentally wounded! Here is some money for medical expenses; take it and call a physician!" She handed over a Silver Ingot and no longer wanted the cart.

Old Lady Zheng’s face turned from green to red to white, leaning on Eldest Madam Zheng, she looked unsteady.

Second Madam Zheng, holding Yue Huan, screamed accusingly, "You wounded my daughter like this, didn’t even help her, and now the general must be responsible for what he has done!"

The servants disdainfully glanced at her, "Then go to the General Mansion and see how they will take responsibility!" With that, they turned and left.

Seeing that Second Madam Zheng was about to continue causing a scene, Eldest Madam Zheng shouted angrily, "Take her back home and call the physician immediately!" Not realizing how embarrassing her actions were, she was still shouting publicly, risking her daughter’s reputation!

Two servants quickly complied, pulling the cart back home and went to summon the physician.

In Capital Jingcheng, where the rich were many, so were various private gossip and jokes. People who followed the excitement could understand. The Zheng family somehow got involved with the General Mansion, staying there yet recklessly running to the men’s training grounds.

Several people followed the old servants all the way to the Mansion of General Zhaoyong, instantly understanding, "That’s General Mo’s mansion! With General Mo’s unmatched handsome looks and high position, no wonder she wanted to run over to the training grounds! If given the chance, who knows how many women would flock there!"

"You don’t know as much about this matter as I do! The Ms. Xie they mentioned is Zheng’s granddaughter, saved by General Mo’s brother-in-law Wa Ci during his campaign, and has been living in the General Mansion! Didn’t they say Madam Yuanyang returned to her hometown for medical treatment with her daughter just the other day, and then fell ill again, even calling the Imperial Physician? If it were you, wouldn’t you flock there?"

"If I were a woman, I would definitely flock there! I just don’t know what will happen to the person the Zheng family promised her to, we must go and see!"

The group exchanged news and gossiped for a while.

Xie Yi could no longer manage so much about Yue Huan, when she saw Pei Wendong, his gaze was filled with icy coldness and endless indifference, though it was just after the start of autumn, she felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, "Brother Wendong... It wasn’t me, it was Yue Huan who saw the general and insisted on going! I... I tried to stop her!"

"Why are you trying to shift the blame onto someone else?" Pei Wendong asked her.

Xie Yi cried with tearful eyes, "No... It’s my fault! I couldn’t stop her! I wanted to tell you, but just couldn’t find the opportunity; she..."

"How did she know where the training grounds were? And how did she know your elder sister’s husband would be there practicing in the morning and evening?" Pei Wendong did not want to misunderstand her, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t suppress his anger and disappointment.

Yue Huan twisted her words. Where she was told not to go, that’s exactly where she would head. Xie Yi saw he didn’t believe her, tears streaming down her face.

"The Zheng family had ulterior motives, you knew that, didn’t you?" Pei Wendong asked her again.

Xie Yi wanted to shake her head, to say she didn’t know, but seeing his piercing, disappointed gaze, she couldn’t deny it.

"When elder sister was seriously ill in Daxing..." Pei Wendong couldn’t help but laugh, thinking how ridiculous he was for letting the fox into the henhouse!

Watching him decisively turn and leave, Xie Yi collapsed to the ground crying, "Brother Wendong! I really didn’t, please believe me!"

Pei Qin returned home and after hearing from the others, couldn’t help but sigh, "Beauty indeed leads to trouble! Why doesn’t anyone come find me like that!? Don’t I have quite a few admirers?"

"Eldest sister..." Pei Yuan didn’t know what to say to her, even now, what was she thinking!

Chang Yonglin smiled and continued, "With Princess Xiyun around, and a suspected fiancée, who would dare? Even if someone doesn’t seek a title, they need the opportunity to get close!"

"So it was Princess Xiyun and Su Xue blocking my love prospects!" Pei Qin said, turning to look at Mo Heng who was peeling almonds, "Is it because your targets are too big, or because my face is too small, that they can’t block you?"

"You didn’t block." Mo Heng responded.

Pei Qin touched her nose; how had she not blocked! She was just a bit busy, and before she realized it... they had pushed her aside. She would block if she had the chance!

"Eldest sister! Ms. Xie, she..." Pei Yuan asked hesitantly, now unable to accept that she was marrying her brother.

"That is indeed a tough problem!" Pei Qin reached out her hand.

Mo Heng handed her several peeled almonds.

She had just stuffed her mouth when Pei Wendong came in, "How did the explanation go?" If it was a misunderstanding, things might be easier.

Pei Wendong came and knelt down immediately, "Eldest sister! I’m sorry!" He had always hoped to grow up and protect his sisters, to support and care for his eldest sister, but it had always been him causing trouble for his eldest sister, always his sisters worrying about him. But not only had he not achieved his hopes, he had instead added trouble and disturbance, depriving his eldest sister of peace.

Pei Yuan and Chang Yonglin both looked towards Pei Qin.

Pei Qin reached out to Pei Wendong.

Pei Wendong, seeing the almonds held out to him, felt a sore tightness in his eyes and looked up at her, "Eldest sister!"

"Alright, get up! Who doesn’t face some issues! If one truly had no problems in a lifetime, what would be the point of living!" Pei Qin handed him her hand.

She had never despised him! Never blamed him! Always supportive! Pei Wendong couldn’t hold back his tears anymore, took the almonds she handed him, and wiped his eyes, "Eldest sister, are you very disappointed in me?"

Pei Qin thought for a moment, "That I am! I was really disappointed once! Who doesn’t want their radishes to grow big, straight, and juicy! If they grow crooked, that part wouldn’t taste good!"

"I will never disappoint you again!" Pei Wendong swore, holding the almonds.

Pei Qin pulled him up.

Outside, Madam Zhao led the three little radishes in, "It’s time to eat!"

The three little radishes entered, each finding their mother.

Xixi turned her head, "Uncle, why are you crying?"

Pei Wendong held her chubby hand, "Uncle fought with someone and lost!"

Xixi instantly withdrew her hand disdainfully, "You’re so silly! You’re that tall and still lose a fight! The ones taller than me can’t beat me!"

She was talking about the children of the servants, who would dare to fight her!? Jiujiu turned his face away, unable to bear watching his sister’s smug expression.

"Xixi is really incredible!" Pei Wendong rubbed her little head.

Outside, Zhang Gengshan came in and reported, "General! Madam! The people from the Zheng family have arrived!"

"Damn! How dare they come!?"
