The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Lu Chengxue jumped into the river with the determination to die, but he was lucky enough to be rescued.

She stared blankly at the slightly worn beams of the house. She knew from childhood that her parents did not value her as a girl and always scolded her for being a money-loser. This was even though she later followed her grandfather to read poetry and books and studied embroidery with great concentration, and at the age of twelve she could copy books and embroider handkerchiefs for the library to earn money to supplement the family income.

But her parents used these as bargaining chips to sell her for a better price. Originally, her grandfather could still protect her, but unfortunately, her grandfather was seriously ill. Her parents hurriedly married her off on the grounds that she could not get married within a year after the death of an elder in the family, and they were afraid of delaying her marriage.

Even if she was married to a beggar, she would not think of dying. What's funny is that her parents actually sent her to Mr. Liu's house as a concubine. Even though she was dressed in a phoenix coronet and a sedan chair, it still couldn't change the fact that the Mr. Liu had a legal wife.

Lu Chengxue was naturally unwilling, but her parents cried and begged, saying that the betrothal gift had already been received and they could not afford to offend the rich man. They even disregarded moral principles and knelt down to kowtow to her.

No matter how unwilling she was in her heart, she could not stand her parents' behavior. She was thinking of finding some other ways, but drugs were put in her food. When she opened her eyes again, she was sitting in a sedan chair in a red dress.

Lu Chengxue had mixed feelings at the time. In order not to bring shame to her grandfather and unwillingly become a slave or concubine, she jumped out of the bridal sedan and ran straight to the river.

When Chu Xiao came in, he saw Lu Chengxue's lifeless appearance. He couldn't help but frowned: "Are you awake?"

Lu Chengxue's eyes moved and he turned his head to look at the person who came. It seemed that it took him a long time to recognize who was in front of him.

"Chu Xiao." Her voice was unusually hoarse. No matter how much resentment and sadness she felt in her heart, she still politely smiled a smile that was uglier than crying: "Thank you for saving me."

Chu Xiao sat down on the kang: "But I feel like you don't want to live."

Lu Chengxue didn't say anything, but tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

Chu Xiao didn't know how to comfort her, so he asked, "You're wearing a red dress. Were you forced to marry?"

"Yeah." Lu Chengxue responded softly.

"Are you not satisfied with your marriage?" Chu Xiao asked again.

"What's the difference between marrying into a mansion as a concubine and a slave? Cheng Xue would rather have a life of simple food and drink than be looked down upon as a concubine."

The corners of Chu Xiao's mouth twitched. Although he didn't know much about this world, he knew that if the concubine had no children, she would be the same as a slave. The mistress of the house could sell her, and her fate would be miserable.

What's more, this is Lu Chengxue, a famous talented woman in the surrounding villages. Logically, there must be quite a few people who want to marry her. Even Zhang Yiyu went to see her eagerly.

Although there was a man of marriageable age in his family, Chu Xiao always felt that this country boy was not worthy of such a woman. He never expected this would be the result.

"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married." Chu Xiao reached out and wiped away her tears.

Lu Chengxue looked towards Chu Xiao fiercely, but then the light in his eyes disappeared.

"Since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmakers' words have always been followed."

"So what?" Chu Xiao said, "At worst, we can just break off the relationship. You can't let a living person die from urination."

When Lu Chengxue heard about breaking off the relationship, her body trembled. She had never thought about breaking off the relationship before. After all, if she did so, she would be branded as unfilial and unrighteous.

Chu Xiao continued: "Of course there is another way."

"What method?" Lu Chengxue asked hurriedly.

"Find a man who is powerful and wealthy. That way, neither your parents nor that wealthy man will dare to cause trouble for you."

Lu Chengxue's mind was already a mess, and her face turned red when she heard this. What girl doesn't love? She had also imagined what her future husband would look like.

But now she no longer has that kind of fantasy. As long as she is not a slave or a concubine, she will be willing to accept anyone who is willing to give her the title of wife.

The door was pushed open again, and Yan Sanmei came in with two bowls of chicken soup. She put down the bowls like a little adult, touched Lu Chengxue's forehead first, nodded and said, "You don't have a fever, get up and drink some chicken soup. My mother made it especially for you to nourish your body."

Being taken care of by a child younger than herself, Lu Chengxue's face turned red again, but she was really hungry at the moment, and she sat up with the help of Chu Xiao.

At this time, she was only wearing Zhang Guizhi's inner garment. Yan Sanmei quickly took her outer garment and put it on her, then helped her down to the ground.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his legs went weak and he almost fell. Fortunately, Chu Xiao was always there to protect him. He grabbed him in time and helped him sit on a chair. Yan Sanmei said, "There's nothing wrong with your body. You're just frightened and upset. You'll be fine after a day or two of rest."

Lu Chengxue smiled at her and said, "Thank you, little sister."

"You guys drink your soup quickly, I'm going out first." Yan Sanmei said and ran out. She also wanted to go back to drink her own bowl.

Lu Chengxue picked up the bowl and took a sip carefully. There were several pieces of chicken in the small bowl of chicken soup, which was stewed very soft.

After drinking most of the chicken soup, Lu Chengxue no longer cared about her image and picked up the bowl to drink the rest.

The moment the bowl was placed on the table, a tear fell into the bowl: "Xiao Ge'er, I admire your decisiveness and even want to be like you, but when the time comes, I find that many things sound simple but I always hesitate before doing them."

Chu Xiao didn't say anything. He just drank his bowl of chicken soup silently and helped Lu Chengxue to the kang. Then he said, "Just take care of her. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. When my uncle comes, I will ask him if there is anyone suitable in the army. At worst, we can marry to another place."

Lu Chengxue couldn't help laughing even before her tears stopped. This little brother Chu really has a new idea every now and then.

"Well, I'll listen to you. Even ants know how to survive. Dying once is enough. I won't seek death again."

"I'm glad you think this way." Chu Xiao was not very good at comforting others. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the person seemed to have really let go.

If he keeps trying to commit suicide, he will most likely just let him die.

Chu Xiao went out and brought in some fruits for Lu Chengxue to eat together. It is said that eating sweet food will make you feel better. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but anyway, as long as it was delicious, he would feel good after eating it.

The two of them ate and talked, Lu Chengxue talked a little more than usual, and Chu Xiao also understood the general situation.

He felt very angry when he thought that Mr. Liu was already thirty-seven years old and his children were as old as Lu Xue, but he still wanted to have sex with young girls. And Lu's parents actually sold their daughter for a hundred taels of silver.

I even thought about whether I could call Brother Shen to beat up their dog heads in the middle of the night.
