Jiang Yutong glanced at Ning Zhengqing, wondering what else they had to talk about. "A good dog doesn't block the road. We have nothing to talk about."

Ning Zhengqing grabbed the horse's reins and said, "Come down, let's talk."

Jiang Yutong was curious about what Ning Zhengqing could say, so she got off the carriage as he said.

The two of them stood aside. Jiang Yutong waited for Ning Zhengqing to speak, but Ning Zhengqing fell silent instead.

Jiang Yutong was impatient, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly."

"Could you please not be so vulgar?"

Jiang Yutong looked up at Ning Zhengqing, the hypocrite, feeling dirty inside. She also disliked his vulgar words and sneered, "Don't pretend in front of me. I'm in a hurry to go home."

Ning Zhengqing really couldn't see through the woman in front of him. He didn't know when she had become so capable that she could run her own business and become a close friend of Miss Du. Du Xiaoyao, who didn't even care about Ye Xiujun, treated Jiang Yutong like a sister.

"Jiang Yutong, I know you can't let me go. You try every possible way to get close to me. You even try to integrate into a circle of friends that doesn't belong to you. But I tell you, it's useless. I love Xiuyun. It's impossible for us to be together."

Jiang Yutong widened her eyes. She must have heard something incredible. What gave Ning Zhengqing this illusion? She was almost sticking to Ning Zhengqing, and yet she made Ning Zhengqing think that she did all this just to get close to him. This was what was called a trustworthy man.

Jiang Yutong laughed unceremoniously, and Ning Zhengqing felt embarrassed. "What are you laughing at? Is it possible that I'm wrong? You're making me feel very embarrassed. Every time you show up, I lose face in front of my classmates. I hope you won't appear around me in the future."

Jiang Yutong was tired of laughing. "I'm dying of laughter. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Are you mentally ill? Go see a doctor. I don't know how you got into the exam. You must have cheated."

Ning Zhengqing was furious, "Jiang Yutong, don't talk nonsense about such an important matter."

Jiang Yutong nodded, "Indeed, cheating is no small matter. It means you've become stupid from studying too much."

"You...I'm talking to you nicely, please be serious."

"I'm telling you seriously, we're divorced. Divorce means we're no longer related. You go your way, and I go mine. As for who I make friends with or what I do, it has nothing to do with you, and you can't control me. From now on, we won't recognize each other on the road, we'll be like strangers, understand?"

Jiang Yutong didn't want to listen to Ning Zhengqing's nonsense anymore and walked towards the carriage.

Ning Zhengqing wanted to say something else, but in the end he just yelled, "I hope you'll keep your promise."

Jiang Yutong ignored him and drove away.

The rising dust narrowed Ning Zhengqing's eyes.

Ning Zhengqing rubbed his eyes, and the anger in his heart increased instead of decreasing. In the end, he had no choice but to return to the academy.

Jiang Yutong was delayed by this matter. When he went back, it was already dark. There was no one on the road. There were mountains all around, and only the sounds of birds and horses' hooves could be heard.

Fortunately, Jiang Yutong is quite brave. Most people would not dare to walk on this road at night. Not to mention ghosts, even if a wild beast rushed out, it would be unbearable.

Jiang Yutong thought to herself that it would be better to come back earlier next time. Although she was not afraid, it was still unsafe.

When Jiang Yutong saw the Shangyuan Village stone tablet, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

The carriage swayed into the village. The villagers had already eaten dinner and were sitting in their yards to rest.

Those who saw Jiang Yutong greeted her with a smile.

When Jiang Yutong's carriage passed by Doctor Li's house, he saw Li Nanxing standing alone at the gate of the yard, smoking welding cigarettes. Jiang Yutong smiled and greeted him, "Brother Nanxing, when did you start smoking?"

Li Nanxing felt as if the cigarette burned his hand, and frantically hid behind his back, "I was just smoking for fun, you just came back?"

"Yes, I went to the county town today. Have you eaten?"

The two chatted for a while, and soon Aunt Wang heard the sound and came out, "Yutong, you just came back? Come to my house for dinner."

Jiang Yutong shook his head and refused, "No, I've already eaten in the county town. I just bought some fish and will take one home to cook."

Jiang Yutong handed Aunt Wang a grass carp.

"It's so big, you can keep it for yourself. We don't like eating fish either."

Aunt Wang refused.

Jiang Yutong stuffed it into her hand and said, "Take it. Don't be polite with me. It's cheap today, so I bought a lot."

Aunt Wang didn't hesitate and said, "Okay, I'll take it."

Jiang Yutong was ready to go back, "Then I'll go back first."

Aunt Wang patted her son who was standing at the door and said, "Come in, I want to talk to Yutong."

Li Nanxing was not very willing, "Mom."

"Go in quickly."

Li Nanxing could only walk into the yard.

"Yutong, if you have time tomorrow, come with me to see your brother Nanxing."

Jiang Yutong didn't expect this to happen, and was quite happy. "Sure, I have time. Where should we go to meet?"

"We're going to Taohua Village, which is about ten miles away. If it's convenient, I can lend you my carriage."

"No problem at all."

After agreeing on a time with Aunt Wang, Jiang Yutong returned home.

Aunt Wang watched Jiang Yutong go back, then turned around and saw her son standing in the yard like a wooden stake, looking at her with a dark gaze, "I'm going to die, you scared me to death."

Li Nanxing moved his lips and said, "Mom, what's the point of asking Yutong to come with me? If that's the case, I won't go."

Aunt Wang patted Li Nanxing's back vigorously. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't Yutong go? She's like my own daughter, and I can borrow her carriage. I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense to me. This girl is famous in the whole area. I had a lot of trouble to get a matchmaker to introduce her. You better perform well. If you mess up, I'll beat you to death."

Li Nanxing didn't want to go. He didn't want to marry another woman at all. "I told you, I have no plans to get married yet."

Aunt Wang was furious. She had already picked out several girls for Li Nanxing before. She either disliked them for being too dark or too fat, and she could always find some faults. She didn't even want to look at this one.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Forget about it. I've already spoken to Yutong about it last time, and she doesn't have any such thoughts at all."

Li Nanxing was really anxious now, "Mom, who told you to talk nonsense?"

"I'm talking nonsense. Anyway, forget it. Go and see it tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, I won't forgive you."

Aunt Wang took a few steps, thought for a moment, and then said, "Cigarettes are nothing good. You're not allowed to smoke them next time."

Li Nanxing squeezed the pipe in his hand, mustered up his courage, and walked towards Jiang Yutong's house.
