C86 Coward

The newlywed couple had been postponing their return home because of the groom's poor health. Now that the groom was in good health, it was perfectly normal for him to bring his newlywed wife back to his parents' home.

However, Gu Yue's entire body was uncomfortable. Even if those two people were sitting in the same carriage and didn't talk too much, it was still extremely eye-catching.

Even though he clearly knew that she was the real husband and wife, even if she wasn't a real husband and wife, Song Yi's name had already been branded with the surname of an Elementary Scholar, Gu Han was still thick-skinned enough to think of Mian Niang as her possession.

He had never seen two people being so close to each other before. He was still able to control the jealousy in his heart, but now, seeing this scene, he couldn't control it anymore. He thought for a moment before chasing after her.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer behind them, the two people in the carriage turned their head at the same time, and were shocked when they saw the person's equipment, causing Mian Niang's face to turn black on the spot. She felt that this man was truly a scoundrel, to actually catch up to her just like that.

Hearing the Elementary Scholar behind him politely and even respectfully greet others with some care, Mian Niang was very surprised that the Elementary Scholar seemed to have called him a brother the last time he saw someone, and now that he had actually turned respectful, he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. Gu Mao's eyes were filled with a kind of anger that Mian Niang couldn't understand, but Mian Niang paused in his heart, and then hurriedly turned his head around.

The more she thought about the hypocrisy between the two of them, the more disgusted she became. She didn't notice that the Elementary Scholar sitting in the carriage had already turned pale.

He felt that the things he had done were disgraceful and he was ashamed to see Gu Xin. Thus, even though Gu Xin had sent someone to deliver medicine the last time, he still hadn't dared to visit again, not to mention the time when he and Gongzi Xiang had done that sort of thing in the kitchen. At that time, he couldn't help but regret it, and it seemed like Gu Xin had underestimated him even more.

In the future, he would disdain befriending Zhang Xuan.

He was afraid that the matter from last time had been exposed. He had come here to denounce Mian Niang, and was also afraid that if Mian Niang found out about it, she would be beaten up again.

All the arrogance he had been acting so arrogantly was now gone.

"Where to?"

Gu Yue didn't pay attention to the Elementary Scholar, but stared at the back of Mian Niang's head and asked coldly.

The driver didn't answer and didn't dare to raise his head. His back was covered in cold sweat.

"Go..." To the Tian Jia Wan! "

"For what?"

The Elementary Scholar slowly raised his head, but unexpectedly, the red horse let out a loud cry and sneezed. Saliva sprayed on his face, scaring him so much that he quickly lowered his head.

"Return... "Back to the door …"

Mian Niang stopped her donkey cart and turned to look coldly at the two of them. She said in a serious tone: "My husband's health was not good before, so we delayed his return home. Now that he has recovered, he wants to bring Mian Niang back to his parents' home.

The horse took two steps forward and stood beside its long-eared donkey brother.

Gu Xin snorted and sneered, "It's good to go back. Once we go back, we'll be an official couple. Otherwise, if we don't have proper reputations and don't make sense, it'll be a joke if we spread it out."

When the Elementary Scholar heard these words, his face turned deathly pale. He thought that Gu Han was indeed here to criticize him. His body trembled like he was trying to find fault, and he couldn't even speak properly. He shouted, "Gu …" Gu … "Young master!"

His' brother the guardian 'from before had already become like the clouds in the sky.

Gu Xin looked at the Elementary Scholar in disdain and looked at Mian Niang proudly.

Mian Niang looked at the two of them as if she was looking at water beads. She gradually understood that her Elementary Scholar status had something to do with Gu Xin, otherwise, she wouldn't act this way.

Gu Han's eyes swiveled, and he felt a layer of numbness in the area where his eyes swept over him. The numbness slowly seeped into his heart, and gradually, the anger in his heart subsided.

It also caused his expression to remain unchanged, but the gaze that landed on Mian Niang's body became much gentler. When he carefully lifted his head to look at the Elementary Scholar, he let out a snort.

Shocked, the Elementary Scholar quickly lowered his head.

Gu Xin looked at Mian Niang complacently. How could he know that Mian Niang did not buy it, and instead directly asked: "I wonder what part of my master has offended Young Master Gu?"

The Elementary Scholar raised his head and looked at the two of them in astonishment. He was like a frightened rabbit, ready to disappear with a swoosh.

Seeing this, Mian Niang confirmed the guess in her heart.

She didn't want to bother about the matter of the Elementary Scholars outside, but it was obvious that Gu Xin was trying to take advantage of the Elementary Scholar's weakness to bully the two of them. Instead of this, she might as well open things up and solve it, even if she had to put in some effort and suffer some grievances, it would be better to just let Gu Xin hold on.

She had already made up her mind. Thus, she didn't pay attention to Gu Shenwei who was watching from the sidelines. She only looked at the Elementary Scholar in front of her.

The Elementary Scholar was not a rabbit, and he was not nimble enough. Naturally, he could not escape with a whoosh.

I just sat in the car and couldn't say a word

Gu Xin was close enough to choke when he heard Mian Niang's words. The softness from before disappeared in a flash. He looked at the Elementary Scholar and said, "I didn't offend you!"

He did not say anything, and the Elementary Scholar heaved a sigh of relief. Mian Niang saw the expressions on the two of them, and knew that he would not be able to get anything out of them.

The Elementary Scholar was surprised that she suddenly turned around and left. She did not even say a word and almost fell to the ground. With great difficulty, she steadied her body and suppressed her dissatisfaction. She was grateful to Gu Xin for his flattering smile.

Gu Han didn't mention anything. He was hoping for a fluke that Gu Xin would never mention anything.

He no longer had the arrogance of a scholar that he used to talk about.

Gu Han felt uncomfortable in his heart. His expression was light, and he didn't seem to care at all.

The Elementary Scholar did not feel embarrassed, but he did not dare to speak carelessly. He was no longer as relaxed as he used to be. Instead, he sat there listless like an eggplant.

However, Gu Xin still hadn't left, and had been following him by the side on his horse.

This caused the Elementary Scholar to feel uneasy …

When they reached the foot of the mountain and were about to climb over the mountain to reach the Tian Jia Wan, Gu steed looked deeply into Mian Niang's eyes and finally showed mercy, saying, "Gu steed, I'll pay you a visit another day." Turning around, the Elementary Scholar cupped his hands together. Before he could say anything, the other party had already left on his horse.

Hearing the sound of horses galloping behind them, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Mian Niang turned her head to look at the Elementary Scholar.

As to what kind of weakness he had, Mian Niang could not help but guess.

She asked tentatively. Unexpectedly, the Elementary Scholar quickly replied, "Nothing, nothing at all."

was impatient, but this was also cheap. He deserved to be held hostage by that bastard!

Yesterday, he had sent firewood over to his daughter's house, but in exchange, he had received the teasing of his son-in-law. From this, one could imagine how his daughter's daily life would be in that house.

This caused Song Youfu's heart to become heavy, his mind was weighed down by heavy matters. Madame Song saw this, and only asked what was going on, but Song Youfu did not say anything. Early in the morning, he did not even eat anything and carried his hoe to the grain fields at the foot of the mountain.

After he straightened his back, he saw a donkey cart coming down the mountain. He immediately recognized his daughter driving a car and thought that she was here to sell tofu. When he walked in, he saw that what was being pulled on the car was not tofu, but a person.

He wore a green robe and a white kerchief. It was none other than his ruthlessly handsome son-in-law.

Song Youfu stopped moving and bent down to continue his work.

However, Mian Niang had already seen him. She stopped the donkey cart and said to the Elementary Scholar in a low voice, "Get down!"

The Elementary Scholar unwillingly got off the carriage and followed Mian Niang to Song Youfu's side. Mian Niang smiled and called out "Abba", and he also greeted him with a smile and called him father-in-law.

Song Youfu lifted his head, gave an indifferent reply, and without being moved, continued with the work in his hands.

The Elementary Scholar pursed his lips as his expression turned ugly.

Mian Niang coldly looked at him, and he immediately pulled out a smile as if she knew what was good for him.

He called his father-in-law again.

"Father, my husband is going to the academy tomorrow. Yesterday we discussed it and will be returning today to make up for it."

The Elementary Scholar quickly took out the thing in his bosom for his father to see and added, "We don't have much money, so we didn't buy any gifts for you. Mian Niang told me that your little brother loved to read books, so I took the book and gave it to him. I bought the brush and Xuan paper a few days ago, but I'm not sure if you would like to give it up, would little brother be able to use it?"

He did not hit the smiling man, the respect shown by the Elementary Scholar and the gifts he gave had made him happy. Song Youfu's anger slowly dissipated, and he said, "Family, why are you making those empty gifts, what's with the old and what's with the old? It's good enough with the heart."

A person who had been honest all his life was not a domineering person. He could not deliberately make things difficult for his daughter and son-in-law. He had to go back to work after sending the two of them home.

Mian Niang went forward and snatched the hoe away, "What else are you doing? "No matter how busy I am, I will not miss this day. Today, Abba will take it as a day off, let's go back together."

Song Youfu looked at his empty palm in shock. His daughter's personality was very soft, in the past, forget about snatching a hoe from her father, she would even hesitate for a long time if she spoke a word. He could not help but look at his daughter, Mian Niang had already placed the hoe on the carriage.

His son-in-law was still looking at him from where he stood, holding something in his arms with a stiff smile on his face, "Father-in-law, let's go back together!"

What can I do if I don't go back? The hoe had already been taken away, so Song Youfu nodded and walked out of the valley.
