Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

"Miss, Miss, someone broke into the backyard!"

Gu Li was lying in a rattan chair basking in the sun and accepting the mission of this world when an anxious female voice sounded in her ears.

"Huh?" Gu Li's wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone and she was shaken continuously, which made her very unhappy.

But the maid didn't seem to notice her mistress's displeasure, and still reminded her anxiously: "Miss, wake up quickly, there is a strange man breaking into the house."

The fan on her face was shaken and fell to the ground. The scorching sun made Gu Li, who had just opened her eyes, feel uncomfortable for a moment. She put one hand between her eyebrows to block the bright light and looked in the direction the maid pointed.

"Miss, look under the loofah vine rack, is there a man?"

There was a thin figure in green linen clothes huddled under the emerald green vine trellis. Before Gu Li could see the man's face clearly, the noisy maid ran over to grab him.

"Who are you and why are you hiding here?" The very courageous maid shouted loudly and arrogantly. She was not afraid that the man would fight back, nor was she worried that her loud voice would attract servants and ruin the young lady's reputation.

The man whose collar was grabbed raised his head in panic, revealing a handsome and well-behaved face.

Well, he is indeed a man.

This maid has a really good eye.

"Who are you and what are your intentions of hiding here? Do you know how beautiful my young lady is and want to peek at her? Tell me quickly, or I will arrest you and take you to see the official!" The little maidservant was very imposing, even more intimidating than the young lady who was standing leisurely under the grape trellis.

The man waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, my name is Fan Xiliang, and I'm from Fanjia Village outside the city."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced in the direction of Gu Li, stretched his neck and begged pitifully, "Miss, I am here to escape, please save my life!"

Before Gu Li could speak, the little maid asked, "Why are you running away?"

"The king has already recruited civilians from the village several times to build the Great Wall. My three brothers were recruited one after another within a year. Now I am the only male left in the family, but the notice of recruiting civilians has been issued again. I was afraid of being caught to build the Great Wall, so I ran away. Just now, I heard the sound of soldiers' horses' hooves in the alley. I was so panicked that I accidentally crawled into the backyard of your house."

Fan Xiliang looked at the girl who was still standing under the grapevine trellis with a pitiful look, "Miss, I really don't mean any harm. Please don't hand me over. I can stay in your house and work. I only ask that you can take me in temporarily."

After Fan Xiliang finished speaking, the little maid seemed to be moved by his experience. She loosened her grip on his clothes and looked at her mistress eagerly.

"Miss, he, he looks so pitiful."

He had the appearance of a handsome scholar, with drooping brows, tightly pursed thin lips, and almost tears in his eyes, which really made people feel pity for him.

Gu Li held a wooden round fan, fanned it, looked at her maid, and asked, "Then Cai Qing, what do you think we should do about this?"

Cai Qing is three years older than the young lady and feels that she can make better decisions than the young lady. She thought about it, walked back to the young lady, covered her lips with her hand, and whispered suggestions to the young lady.

"Miss, I think this young man looks very pitiful. If we drive him out like this, he will be captured and made into a laborer. We should take him in for the time being, and let the master make the decision when he comes back."

Gu Li nodded and waved her small fan. "What you said makes sense. Let him stay for now. I'm a little sleepy. You take him down first."

"Yes." Cai Qing agreed.

Cai Qing took Fan Xiliang out of the backyard. Gu Li did not look away until the two men's backs disappeared and sat back on the rattan chair.

That is Fan Xiliang, the husband who made Meng Jiangnu cry so hard that even the Great Wall collapsed!

Nothing more.

Lying down on the rattan chair, Gu Li covered her face with a round fan to prevent others from seeing the coldness on her face.

She has accepted all of Meng Jiangnu's memories.

I'm really furious.

What bullshit about love that is stronger than gold, chasing a husband for thousands of miles, and crying down the Great Wall are all just self-righteous fantasies of the world.

In fact, Meng Jiangnu did take in Fan Xiliang, who fled to avoid corvee labor, out of kindness, but Fan Xiliang hid in Meng Yuanwai's house with a purpose.

He and Meng Jiangnu's maid Cai Qing have known each other since childhood, and they have secretly decided to spend their lives together. They also set their sights on Meng's family's property, so they colluded with each other to plot against Meng Jiangnu's family.

Fan Xiliang deliberately won the favor of Meng Jiangnu and Meng Yuanwai, and coaxed Meng Yuanwai into marrying their daughter to him.

On the second day after the marriage, Fan Xiliang swindled most of the Meng family's property, and conspired with outsiders to stage a drama of soldiers conscripting people for labor service, and escaped from the Meng family in a fair and honest manner.

Not long after, Cai Qing took out a sum of money to redeem herself and left the Meng family. She reunited with her lover, changed her name and lived happily with Fan Xiliang.

Poor Meng Jiangnu, who was cheated of her money and sex, is still at home eagerly waiting for her husband's return.

Later, when Mr. Meng was socializing outside, he accidentally met the soldier who broke into his house and kidnapped his son-in-law. Only then did he discover that the soldier was actually a gambler.

Mr. Meng spent money and learned about his son-in-law's plan from a gambler. He was so angry that he almost died. He had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. He died not long after.

Meng Jiangnu was unwilling to be deceived by the villain, so she headed north to find Fan Xiliang. She heard that he was captured and conscripted as a laborer again after a short period of carefree life outside.

So Meng Jiangnu went all the way to the Great Wall. No matter how far the journey was, she wanted to find Fan Xiliang and ask him why he had deceived her. She wanted to give him a letter of abandonment and tell the world about his crime, as it caused her father to die young.

But when she finally found the construction site where Fan Xiliang was serving, she was told that he was dead.

Meng Jiangnu's long-lasting anger just dissipated like this.

But even though Fan Xiliang died, she was still a widow with her husband's surname.

Too ashamed to return home and face her neighbors, and unable to tell her mother the truth, Meng Jiangnu jumped into the river, ending her own sad life.

Don't pick up men on the street and don't talk to strangers, these are eternal truths.

But Fan Xiliang and Cai Qing were really abominable. They took advantage of the fact that Meng Jiangnu rarely went out and actually climbed over the wall and delivered the gift to her door, forcing her to pick it up.

It’s really hard to guard against!

If it weren't for Cai Qing's help, how could Fan Xiliang, a weakling with no power at all, have climbed over the wall of her house and was just coincidentally spotted by the young lady who was taking a break in the backyard?

In fact, everything has a traceable path.

How responsible can a man who abandons his family to avoid corvee labor be? How much sense of responsibility can we expect from such a man?

I don’t know how Meng Jiangnu could be deceived both physically and mentally by such a man?

Is it his face?

But Fan Xiliang was only handsome, a pale-faced scholar. Hiding under the loofah vines, he looked timid and unmanly, without any masculinity at all.

Anyway, Gu Li just can't like it.

Gu Li quickly adapted to her current identity. She knew what the mission was without any explanation.

Since they like acting so much, she will let them turn their fake play into reality.

Having made up her mind, Gu Li hid her face in the shadow of the thick grape leaves and took a leisurely nap.

From now on, she is Niu Hulu Meng Jiangnu.
