Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 466: Assassinated. Is this an attempt to murder one’s husband?

"Girl, let me tell you, if a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable. A man must be disciplined clearly before he will be obedient, do you understand? This whip was specially made by me. You have seen it from my family. If you are obedient, you won't need to use it. I'm giving it to you. If you don't obey, whip him hard." The woman gave her the whip in a domineering manner.

Yao Qingnian thanked him with the whip, then turned around and looked at Zi Yexiu and said with a smile: "Did you hear me? If you don't obey, I will whip you."

"No, no, madam, I will do whatever you tell me to do from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west." Zi Ye Xiu said cooperatively.

"That's right, that's more like it. Go back and reform yourself and serve your wife well."

When everyone saw that the problem was solved, they dispersed and went about their own business.

"Okay, everyone has left, there's no need to act. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Yao Qingnian took Shen Nianran and left without looking back.

"Qingnian, I think that young man treats you differently." Shen Nianran said on the way back.

"What's so special about it? I'm not familiar with him." Yao Qingnian said calmly.

"Really? I see you two are quite familiar with each other." Shen Nianran smiled secretly, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions. It was getting late, and they had to travel again tomorrow, so after returning to the inn, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After Yao Qingnian returned to his room, he tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, several people packed up and set off. Because of what happened last night, Wang Wu discussed with Yao Qingnian and decided to stay and become a son-in-law. Yao Qingnian and others expressed their blessings and asked him to treat the girl well. The job of driving the carriage was given to Xuanfeng. When they set off, Zi Yexiu was no longer in the inn.

They set out from Pingchuan County and headed for Tonglai Town, where they stayed overnight. Then they set out from Tonglai Town and rode at full speed for a day, and they would be able to return to the capital before the city gates closed.

After a day of traveling, they stopped not far from Tonglai Town. Suddenly, they found a fight ahead. Yao Qingnian asked Xuanfeng to stop there and observe the situation ahead before moving on. He lifted the carriage curtain, glimpsed the carriage ahead and said, "Xuanfeng, why do I feel that the carriage ahead looks familiar?"

"Miss, it's someone from Zi Ye Pavilion, and they seem to be in danger." Tornado's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Aren't they from the Zi Ye Pavilion specialized in killing people? Why are they being hunted now?" Yao Qingnian jumped off the carriage and saw that the carriage not far away was surrounded by a group of people.

"Miss, do you want to help?" Tornado asked anxiously.

"Well, it's getting late. Shanwei, take my sister to Tonglai Town to wait for me. If we don't come back, tomorrow morning, take my sister back to the capital first, and then go to Linglong to wait for me. I will come to find you after I return to the capital."

"No, we have to go together." Shen Nianran refused.

"Don't worry! We will be fine!" Yao Qingnian gave her a reassuring look.

"Qing Nian, you have to be careful." Shen Nianran looked at her worriedly.

"Okay, I got it. You guys go quickly." After Yao Qingnian gave a few instructions, he followed Xuanfeng and ran towards Zi Yexiu.

Shan Wei took Shen Nianran to Tonglai Town.

When Yao Qingnian and Xuanfeng went over, the men in black were fighting with Zi Yexiu and others. Xuanfeng immediately joined the battle, but the opponent was determined to kill Zi Yexiu, so the men in black killed them wave after wave.

"Why are you here? Go away!" Zi Yexiu asked Yao Qingnian to leave. As he was distracted, the man in black slashed his hand.

"Be careful." Yao Qingnian warned, and ran over to help: "I'm not the kind of person who would just watch someone die without helping."

The other side had more people, and for some unknown reason, the men in black seemed to have endless energy, and it seemed as if they could not be killed no matter how hard they fought. There were not many people in the Zi Ye Pavilion to begin with, and the two sides had been fighting for more than half an hour without either side gaining the upper hand. They had also lost several of their men, and most were injured. Some could not hold on any longer, and Zi Ye Xiu was also injured. Seeing that the situation was not right, the people of the Zi Ye Pavilion prepared to retreat.

"Master, there are too many people on the other side. You retreat first and we will cover you."

"Well, retreat!" Zi Ye Xiu shouted, and took Yao Qingnian and Xuanfeng away first, but those men in black were still chasing them, and the people of Zi Ye Pavilion retreated while resisting.

The gate of Tonglai Town had been closed at this time. They had no choice but to flee to the mountains. The terrain in the mountains was complicated and it was not easy for the enemy to find them. After being chased all the way, they had already run deep into the mountains. The enemies behind them had disappeared. They found a cave, picked up some dry firewood and lit a fire. Xuanfeng went out to investigate the situation. Only Zi Yexiu and Yao Qingnian were left in the cave.

"Cough cough..." Zi Ye Xiu coughed twice, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted on the ground.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?!" Yao Qingnian hurried forward. He was injured, but it wasn't that serious. How could he faint out of nowhere?

She called out a few times nervously, but he didn't respond at all, so Yao Qingnian prepared to give him first aid. As soon as she put her hand on her chest, Zi Yexiu's big hand grabbed it: "You are worried about me."

"Are you pretending?" Yao Qingnian saw him open his eyes and angrily wanted to push him away.

But he held her hand tightly and didn't let go: "Why are you mad at me?!"

"Which eye of yours saw that I was angry? Get out!"

"No, I told you that you are the one I like."

"Bah, have some shame!" Yao Qingnian broke free from his hand and stood up, but the man pulled her into his arms: "What are you doing? Get away, you're being a hooligan, aren't you?"

Yao Qingnian was so angry that she slapped him on the chest. Who would have thought that he would groan and then whispered, "Madam, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Who is your wife?!"

"Okay, you already knew this a long time ago. Don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. You saw what happened today. There are many people who want to kill me. I don't want to put you in danger." He took off the mask, revealing a familiar face.

"Am I the kind of person who is afraid of danger? Humph! You bastard!"

"I know you are not afraid, but I am." Lu Huaijin looked at her seriously.

"So you followed me to the Border Gorge on purpose?"

"Well, I want to go with you, but you didn't stop me from going. I was worried about you, so after thinking about it, I decided to hide my identity and stay with you." Lu Huaijin explained honestly that he followed you because he was worried about his wife.

No wonder he saved me time and time again. I was worried all day long, fearing that I was targeted because I killed someone from Zi Ye Pavilion.

"Then how did you become the big villain of Zi Ye Pavilion?" Yao Qingnian asked curiously.

"This is a long story. I will explain it to you slowly when I have the chance. I swear, I definitely didn't mean to lie to you! I feel very sad that you have been ignoring me recently." Lu Huaijin swore.

"Stop! I'm getting goosebumps all over the floor. I'll trust you this time. If you lie to me again next time, I'll punish you myself!" Yao Qingnian said, and punched him again.

"Ahem... Madam, please be gentle." Lu Huaijin covered his chest.
