C163 Snatch Men
When the woman entered the kitchen, Mu Ruqing was already cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks. The woman snatched the bowls and chopsticks. "You guys rest. Let me do it. How can I let you do this kind of rough work?"
"It's fine." No matter what Mu Ruqing said, the woman did not let her do it. Yu Longchen stood behind her and held her hand, his eyes full of love.
Yanyan thought about it clearly. Once she entered the door, she saw the loving look of the two and could not help but feel a heartache. Seeing Mu Ruqing's expression change, she turned to the side and went out again.
Yu Longchen didn't care, but Mu Ruqing cared a lot. Someone was coveting my man...
The woman arranged a place for the three of them to sleep and let Yu Longchen and the old man sleep in the only guest room in her house. She let Mu Ruqing and Yanyan sleep. The woman's husband had not returned yet, so the woman spoke a lot. She praised her husband and daughter all over. She also told him about her family's situation.
Yanyan had a kind look and brought Mu Ruqing to wash up. The two of them casually exchanged a few words before lying down and sleeping together. Mu Ruqing slept well but Yanyan found it hard to sleep at night.
When Mu Ruqing woke up, Yanyan had already left the room. Last night, in order to not expose her weakness and let her love rival sleep, she could only lie down and sleep. She pressed down the wound on her back and did not dare to move and could actually sleep.
She tidied her clothes and walked out of the room. When she went to the front of the hall, she saw Yanyan standing beside Yu Longchen and speaking to him shyly. It was clearly nothing, but she was angry.
"You're awake." Yu Longchen smiled when he saw Mu Ruqing. He walked over and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, let's go." Mu Ruqing looked at Yanyan with a proud look. Only these two women could understand the expression between them. Yanyan bit her lips and her hands grabbed onto her clothes.
"En." Yu Longchen hugged Mu Ruqing's waist so that he could help her walk. The old man also stood in a row with the two of them and whispered to Mu Ruqing, "Girl, your man has been chosen by others."
"I know." Mu Ruqing took the opportunity to twist Yu Longchen's waist. Who asked you to be so handsome? He attracted bees and butterflies!
Yu Longchen's expression remained the same. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Ruqing say, "You also need to see if my man is interested in her."
"You little girl. Haha." The old man laughed and lifted the curtain. When he saw the woman, he wanted to say goodbye.
"Are you leaving?" The woman hurriedly walked over. "Breakfast is ready. Let's eat first!"
"No, Auntie, let's go first. I will remember your kindness in my heart. I will definitely repay you in the future." Mu Ruqing said it resolutely and was determined to leave. Who knew what kind of mischief Yanyan would cause?
"Really, am I that kind of person?" The woman's face fell, seemingly blaming Mu Ruqing for saying that she was doing it for this kindness.
"Aunt, I didn't mean that..."
"I didn't mean to say that. I will leave after eating. We'll need to travel two hundred miles to get out of our village. You're injured and hungry, but what about it? You're not familiar with the road here. I'll send you out of the village later and show you the way." As the woman spoke, she directly moved her hand and pulled Mu Ruqing's sleeve, refusing to leave.
"Since the owner is so enthusiastic, it is our fault for rejecting the other party's face." The old man stood up with a beaming smile and stared at the table full of dishes. He almost drooled. He had been in the mountains for many years, but apart from the small animals in the forest, he had never seen any other food. To him, the delicacies in the outside world were precious delicacies...
Since the old man was sitting at the table, Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen could not say anything else. They could only accept the goodwill of the old man. "Thank you, Aunt."
"What are you talking about? There has been no outsiders in the family for a long time. I am very happy to see you!" The woman laughed so hard that her mouth could not close. She did not eat with the three of them.
"Marry your daughter to my house. I won't treat her badly."
"Are you going to chase her to my house?"
"Woof, woof, woof!"
The woman's dog started barking, and it got louder and louder.
"Shut up! Bastard, don't you see who you are biting!"
With a furious rebuke, the dog stopped shouting. However, the sound of the dog baring its teeth could still be heard.
The woman was just about to put away the chopsticks when she heard the noise outside the door and also came out. She stood at the door and blocked Mu Ruqing's line of sight. The woman put her hands on her waist and said in a strange tone, "A toad wants to eat swan meat! Dream on!"
"Humph!"
When the three of them heard the sound, the woman entered with a muscular man.
The man looked at the three of them and a strange look flashed across his eyes. "They are?"
"Oh, they passed by and stayed overnight last night." The woman smiled and said, "I think they have a good eye for each other."
"Hello, uncle." Mu Ruqing slightly bowed her body and the other two only nodded their heads to indicate that.
"Did you sleep well?" The man asked with concern.
"Yes." Yu Longchen did not want to stay any longer and rushed to answer.
"Uncle, aunt, let's part ways here. Thank you for your hospitality." Mu Ruqing bowed.
Looking at Mu Ruqing's behavior, she felt that it was more and more noble. That must be a wealthy family. The woman was even more determined to let Yanyan marry Yu Longchen!
"The man in this family has returned. You should at least stay for another day. Otherwise, if others hear you, you will say that our family did not take good care of you and laugh at us." No matter what, the woman wanted to keep Yu Longchen and the others.
"We have already troubled you for so long. We are also embarrassed. Besides, we still have to rush back. There is no news about us at home. Who knows what we are worried about!" How could Mu Ruqing give Yanyan a chance. If not for seeing them being kind to her, she would have made a move a long time ago.
"Yeah, we should leave too." The old man also helped Mu Ruqing. This was the territory of Yunnan. If those royal families knew that the Lords of Dayong did not have official documents, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause if he came out of the Yunmeng Country in casual clothes. Not to mention other things, whether he could return alive was also a problem.
"You guys are injured. It's not suitable for you to travel for a long time. It's better to recuperate. " The man also began to leave the two of them behind. How could he not know what the woman was thinking? The couple had the same thoughts regarding Yanyan's matter." At that time, I will be familiar with the road and can send you back directly. It will save a lot of trouble."
"Thank you for your good intentions. No matter what, we have to leave " Yu Longchen frowned and did not say anything. He did not care what the family thought.
"This..." The woman and the man looked at each other. No one could come up with an idea. It was impossible to tie Yu Longchen up and force him to marry his daughter.
"Then you should also take some medicine. Otherwise, when will your injuries recover?" The man was annoyed by the woman. He walked to them and said, "There is a doctor in the village. His medicine is the best."
Yu Longchen's heart moved. His wounds were showing signs of pus, not to mention Mu Ruqing. Mu Ruqing's injuries were heavier than his.
"Let the young lady wait at home. Young Master, you can come with me. It was just a few steps." The man opened the door for Yu Longchen.
Yu Longchen glanced at Mu Ruqing. "I'll be right back. Wait for me here with him!"
"Okay." Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen always had the same idea and nodded obediently. The old man also stood beside Mu Ruqing and waved his hand with a serious face. "You can go!"
Watching Yu Longchen walk out, the woman hurriedly brought a stool over, afraid that Mu Ruqing would leave just like that.
Yanyan climbed up the window in front of the hall and listened to the conversation in the hall. Her smile climbed onto her face and she carried her skirt and walked out from the back door.
