Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 53
So, do you want to marry Wang Jiulang wholeheartedly?
"But girl, do you really want to marry Wang Jiulang?" Liu Xu was very worried.

"Fool, with Wang Jiulang's family background, such a character, why would he want such a humble concubine like me?"

Since the girl understands everything, why should she approach such a situation step by step?Now, Wang Jiulang can't get married, and the rumors outside are like that again... Liu Xu dare not think, she really can't guess the girl's mind.

"Girl..."

"Don't worry, Liu Xu. I always know what I'm doing." Zheng Ruo said to her with a smile.

Liu Xu knew that it would be useless to persuade her again, so she sighed and stopped talking.The carriage fell silent.

The wheels rumbled in the alley.A crabapple plant stuck its head out in someone's yard. The flowers of the crabapple were wet by the rain, and fell down as if they were overwhelmed.

Zheng Ruo's hand opened the car curtain again, and the cool rain fell on her delicate cheeks unwilling to be lonely.Looking at the crabapple flowers sticking out their heads, I stretched out my hand to catch the petals fluttering down, and I could vaguely smell the elegant fragrance of flowers when I put them on the tip of my nose.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she saw Wang Jiulang for the first time in her previous life, he was standing under the crabapple tree, looking up at the flowers slightly.Petals fell one after another, some on his shoulders, and some on his black soap boots.At that time, I was astonished.But who would have thought that such a holy person would actually have a filthy and filthy soul.

The scene of the night of her death came to her again like a tide, making her chest tight, like a fish thrown on the shore, out of the water, thrashing and struggling in pain.

A thought from long ago came to mind again.She wanted him to be ruined, to pull him down from the high peak and fall into the mud, what could be more exhilarating than this?When she thought of this, a cold smile appeared on her face.Even in April, the spring breeze couldn't blow into her heart.Thinking of the gap between her and him, the sky and the earth, she told herself, don't be impatient.

Zheng Ruo, who returned to her small courtyard, already understood that the Patriarch asked her to come over this time, nothing more than to confirm the matter between her and Wang Jiulang.And his last few "very good, very good" also made her understand that her previous measures of sacrificing her reputation have also paid off.The head of the family wanted to give himself to the sheriff, but it was driven by interests.Now that there is Wang Jiulang, who has a higher status than the county guard, he must be trying his best to win over him.

She felt that up to now, Wang Jiulang had paid back some interest on what he owed her.But how is this enough?
Zheng Jinxiao woke up shortly after she left, leaning on the bed at this time, looking out the window with some worry.Hearing Zheng Ruo's voice coming back, he immediately called out loudly, "Ah Ruo".

With a warm smile on Zheng Ruo's face, he walked quickly into his wing room, looked at the wide open wooden window, gave him a reproachful look, and closed the window behind him.

When she walked to the bed, Zheng Jinxiao couldn't wait to ask: "Ah Ruo, why did the Patriarch ask you to go?"

"It's nothing. I'm just asking about the injury of my elder brother."

"It's really because of this?" Zheng Jinxiao didn't believe it.

"Of course it's for this, otherwise what do you think?" She smiled and asked, "Do you feel better today, brother?"

Zheng Jinxiao was not in a hurry to answer her words, just now Pingruo kept saying "A girl marries Wang Jiulang" in front of him.He hesitated, not knowing what to say, so as not to hurt her, but also to let her understand the truth that once he entered the Hou family, it was as deep as the sea.

"Ah Ruo, are you really attracted to Wang Jiulang?" He asked cautiously.

Zheng Ruo seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world again, she smiled and shook her head at him.

"It's good if you don't have one." Zheng Jinxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah Ruo, although Wang Jiulang is a rare character in the world, he is not a good match. Don't worry, Ah Ruo, with my elder brother here, I will definitely find a good one for you." Marriage. Find a man who loves you and marry you."

Zheng Ruo felt like a warm current flowed through her heart, thinking of her loneliness and helplessness in her previous life, now she cherishes this warm family affection even more.She blushed, and said with some disapproval, "Brother, come to laugh at Ah Ruo again. Ah Ruo ignores you..."

Seeing her running outside like a little girl, Zheng Jinxiao laughed.Then, he thought of the rumors circulating in Phoenix City recently, and gritted his teeth bitterly.

I don't know who is so hateful, spreading rumors about A Ruo and Wang Jiulang everywhere?It is the most wicked thing to ruin one's reputation!
How would he feel if he knew that Zheng Ruo did it himself?
In April, it rained intermittently, intermittently, dripping continuously.The days slipped by in this kind of rain or cloud, and Zheng Jinxiao also had a better day.During this time, the head of the family, Zheng Yuanshun, sent a scribe to reprimand him, telling him not to idle around anymore, let alone hang out with those beggars all day long, and lose face of the Zheng family.Because of their father's absence, the head of the house punished him and punished him with three months of confinement.

And because of this stay-at-home order, Zheng Jinxiao became the laughing stock of the dandies in Phoenix City.I finally understood that during the few days when he disappeared suddenly, he actually mixed with a group of beggars and broke his leg.

Several times, when the sisters-in-law of Zheng's mansion came to see Zheng Ruo, they always brought up this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and talked about it with a laugh.I thought that I would see the embarrassment of the two of them.However, the Zheng Ruo brothers and sisters didn't seem to care about it at all. No matter whether they were out of kindness or malice, they still just laughed it off and dealt with it indifferently.This makes those nobles who think they are superior to others feel ridiculous for their depravity.I have only heard of those who climbed up, but never heard of people who voluntarily ran to become beggars.They believed that after all, the offshoots were not as good as the ones from the direct branches. Although Zheng Ruo and his brother and sister were also nobles, they were inferior among the nobles.

Such rumors even overshadowed the rumors that Zheng Ruo was going to marry Wang Jiulang a while ago.

The sisters-in-law of Zheng's mansion also began to doubt, would Wang Jiulang really marry a beggar?Even if it is a concubine, someone who is worthy of him must be from a high family.From Zheng Ruo's point of view, it was obvious that he no longer met the requirements.
