The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Liu Aijiu was engrossed in reading a book.

That was his favorite book, his spiritual comfort, called "Destined Marriage: I Will Marry No One Else," which he brought specially.

Unexpectedly, someone called out to him, and he immediately froze, quickly looking up.

They were afraid that the troops inside Huai'an City had chased after them.

However, seeing the man's peddling attire and his sun-dried complexion, it was immediately clear that he wasn't a vendor.

My heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down.

I told you, he brought nothing but this book, "Destined Marriage: I Will Marry No One But You," and some loose silver.

They didn't even use the Liu family's carriage to escape.

The goal is to create the illusion that Ren Tianye might still be in the city.

Ren Tianye isn't a god, how could he possibly discover it in such a short time!

Composing himself, he asked, "Do you know me?"

"Master Liu, of course I know you!" the peddler said excitedly. "I was originally from Huai'an City too."

"At the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion, you often ascend the altar to preach and teach, telling us to believe in love, because only true love is invincible."

"Believe in love and you'll get everything!"

"They also say that books hold the key to wealth and beauty, and that as long as you read and believe the contents of the Hongluan Wenyuange books, you can find a wife!"

As he spoke, the peddler scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I have no money, so I don't even have the chance to enter the Red Phoenix Pavilion to listen to your lecture."

"It's always outside."

"I admire you so much."

"That's why I joined the Huai'an City Mutual Aid Alliance."

Liu Aijiu's eyes lit up.

So it turns out he's someone who idolizes him!

They are still members of the Huai'an City Love Alliance.

He couldn't help but ask, "So, this time, the government's actions against the Love Mutual Aid Alliance didn't affect you?"

The peddler asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the government?"

"I've been outside the city for a long time and haven't been back to Huai'an City. Besides, the Love Mutual Aid Alliance in Huai'an City doesn't seem to like me very much. They think I'm a disgrace to them."

"It's alright, it's alright!" Liu Aijiu comforted her, "As long as you have faith in love, you don't have to worry about not becoming a key member of the Love Mutual Aid Alliance in the future."

"Besides, I'll be there to back you up in the future."

The peddler was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master Liu!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, there's something I've been wanting to ask you. I've finally had the chance today, and I wonder if it would be convenient for you to answer my question?"

"Convenient!" Looking at the traveling vendor, Liu Aijiu felt more and more reassured that the path he had believed in was correct. With Yuancheng so close at hand, he simply asked the coachman to stop the carriage.

"Master Che, there's a small river over there. Go fetch some water. While we're at it, I want to have a good talk with this young man today."

"Alright, sir."

The coachman left to fetch water, and the traveling vendors couldn't wait to speak.

The first thing he said was, "Mr. Liu, where is my wife?"

"Huh?" Liu Aijiu was taken aback. "How would I know about your wife?"

"No!" This question made the peddler somewhat anxious: "Master Liu, didn't you say that beauty can be found in books?"

"Didn't you say that if you read more books in the Hongluan Wenyuange, as long as you believe in love, you will definitely have a happy and fulfilling love life?"

"I've read countless books in your Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion. I can practically recite them by heart, from 'Domineering Prince' to 'Prince with the Surname Tang'."

"I believe in love every day, I've even joined the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance, but I still don't have a wife!"

Where is my wife?

Liu Aijiu found out at this point.

He's celebrating too soon.

The peddler in front of me is a bit mentally unstable.

His face darkened, and he said, "When it comes to love, you have to be sincere. No matter if you're poor or rich, you have to give your all to love. That way, you'll get a wife."

"I did my best!" the peddler quickly said. "Over the years, I've worked myself to the bone to make money, doing whatever was hard or tiring."

"Working several jobs a day!"

"I made a lot of money."

"Moreover, I saved all the money I earned."

"I dare not spend a single penny."

"Including what my father left me, I've saved a full one hundred taels!"

"One hundred taels!"

"A fortune beyond measure!"

"But with this money, I still can't get a wife."

"They either complain that I don't own a house, or that the jobs I found aren't good enough, or that I'm not good-looking..."

"Moreover, the bride price increases every six months."

"I heard from the old folks that ten taels used to be enough, twenty taels at most, but now... even a hundred taels isn't enough!"

"Nobody will marry me!"

"I still don't have a wife."

"I just wanted to ask..."

Where is my wife?

Liu Aijiu no longer wanted to talk to this person, thinking he was mentally ill, and even hoped that the coachman who went to fetch water would return soon.

All I could say was, "You'll have to wait a little longer. With your current level of effort, it should be about ten or eight years from now..."

These words enraged the peddler, and years of bitterness finally erupted at that moment.

"Wait for your mother, my foot!"

"I'm over thirty and still single."

"You're still making me wait?"

"Another ten or eight years?"

"Why didn't you wait until I'm buried before giving it to my wife!"

"You..." The peddler's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "You must deliver on your promise to my wife today, or else..."

Liu Aijiu was startled, but more annoyed. She turned and walked toward the carriage, muttering a curse as she did so.

"This person is crazy!"

However, no sooner had he stepped onto the carriage than he was dragged off by the traveling vendors.

The peddler was quite strong, and he sent Liu Aijiu sprawling face-first into the dirt. Then, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he lifted Liu Aijiu up.

He swung his right hand in a wide arc and slapped down.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

Even after slapping him, he didn't forget to ask a question.

Where is my wife?

Where is my wife?

Where is my wife?

"All I want is to find a wife and settle down. You promised me that, but where's my wife?"

Liu Aijiu was slapped so hard that she saw stars and cried out in pain.

He no longer dared to give the traveling vendors attitude, after all, in this desolate wilderness, no one would stand up for him, the master.

Beg for mercy immediately.

However, the peddler's pent-up anger from years of pent-up frustration was completely uncontrollable, and in an instant, he turned into a pig's head.

Until the coachman came running.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

What are you doing?

"Why are you hitting people? And hitting my customer no less!"

The coachman stepped forward, pulled the peddler aside, and blocked him from passing, preventing the peddler from continuing to harass Liu Aijiu.

The peddler got angry and shouted, "He hid my wife, so why can't I hit him?"
