Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“But the Xiang family doesn’t agree.”

“Old Master Wang asked me to first get the Xiang family’s girl’s birth characters and the Xiang family’s girl’s?betrothal card1. Then he will send someone to pick up the Xiang family’s girl to get married, and this matter will be considered successful.”

“I had no choice. So many people from the Xiang family couldn’t stop the strong man sent by Old Master Wang. I’m just an old woman. How could I have the ability to resist? Young Master, please spare my life.”

“Spare you? I think you are suitable for Old Master Wang.”

The matchmaker’s face immediately turned pale. “Young Master, I’m wrong. I’m already a grandmother…”

“Don’t worry. If you marry Landlord Wang, you won’t have to be a matchmaker for the rest of your life. I believe Landlord Wang’s age suits you very well.” Du Heng stood up abruptly and asked the coachman to tie up the matchmaker and send her into the bridal sedan chair.

Xiang Ling’er was helped out by Ye Muyu. Her whole body was trembling and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Du Heng looked at her red wedding dress, which was a bit glaring. He thought about how that beast from the Wang family would have almost succeeded, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.

He turned to look at Chu Heng. “Brother Heng, Landlord Wang must have done this many times since he dared to bully the people.”

“I want to send someone to investigate his background. We have to make him pay the price.” Du Heng clenched his fists by his side, and the smile on his handsome face disappeared.

Chu Heng saw that his reaction was so big. Du Heng never liked to meddle in other people’s business and actually wanted to meddle to the end. His gaze turned from Du Heng to Xiang Ling’er, who was in his wife’s arms, and had a guess in his heart.

“Han Zhuang, go and investigate. Send these people back to the Wang family,” Chu Heng said.

“Yes, this subordinate understands.” Han Zhuang squatted down and took out a medicine bottle from his shirt. He poured out seven or eight black pills and stuffed them into the mouths of Luo San and the others.

“What did you feed me?” Luo San’s mouth was stained with blood, and his face was filled with shock.

Han Zhuang’s face twitched, revealing a smile that he was not used to. “Gut Breaking Powder. Be obedient. I’ll give you the antidote when we reach the Wang family.”

“You dare to kill me?” Luo San’s face instantly turned pale.

Han Zhuang scratched his head. “This is a forest deep in the mountains. It doesn’t matter if a few people die, right? If it really doesn’t work, we can just set things up and make it look as if poisonous snakes had bitten you.”

“Besides, as long as I have your contract, can’t I just kill you?” After Han Zhuang thought about it seriously, he felt that his idea was quite good.” It was your idea of cheating the contract that reminded me.”

“You… You…” Luo San was so scared that he almost peed his pants. No matter how arrogant he was, he could tell that the identity of the people in front of him was not simple. Otherwise, why would he casually mention the matter of buying and selling slaves?

Soon, Han Zhuang brought Luo San and the others to carry the bridal sedan chair to Landlord Wang’s house.

On the other side, Ye Muyu helped Xiang Ling’er onto the carriage.

Chu Heng wanted to come up from behind.

Ye Muyu waited for Xiang Ling’er to sit down before turning around and grabbing Chu Heng’s wrist. “Ah Heng, carry the children to Yanxu’s carriage,” she whispered.

Chu Heng glanced at the two children curiously surrounding Ling’er and asking her questions. He nodded in understanding and said, “Lil’ Jin, Ziluo, get off the carriage.”

The two children did not dare to disobey their father’s words and obediently came down.

Ye Muyu walked to Xiang Ling ‘er’s side and opened the water bag. She patted her head tenderly and comforted her gently. “Ling’ er, it’s okay now. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
