The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Xu Qingye looked at him indifferently, with confusion in his eyes.

"Family?"

Huang Heyu hurriedly explained, "The Song family accepted our betrothal gifts and promised to marry Miss Song to me as a concubine. I came here today to bring Tang'er back to the mansion."

When Song Yuntang heard the name "Tang'er" coming out of Huang Heyu's mouth again, he felt extremely disgusted.

Xu Qingye covered his mouth and coughed twice, then asked, "Since you're picking someone up, why didn't you go to the Song family, but came to the mountains instead?"

Huang Heyu glanced in Song Yuntang's direction and said with a half-smile, "It's not that Tang'er is disobedient. If she was obedient, I wouldn't have to do this."

Song Yuntang's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

"My father and eldest brother clearly returned the Huang family's betrothal gifts yesterday. You beat someone up and I haven't even come to you to ask for the medical expenses yet, and yet you're here first!"

After hearing this, Xu Qingye looked at Huang Heyu.

"Is it your idea to take the person back, or is it Master Huang's idea?"

Huang Heyu was stunned by the question.

"what?"

"Since I've encountered this incident today, I can't turn a blind eye." Xu Qingye said slowly, "If it's your wish, considering your young age, if you leave now, I'll pretend I haven't seen you today. But if it's Master Huang's wish, then I'll definitely report it to the county magistrate when I return. It depends on whether Master Huang can withstand the government's investigation."

Huang Heyu frowned, "Mr. Xu, do you want to get involved in my Huang family taking a concubine?"

Xu Qingye stood straight. "Marriage is based on mutual consent. What Mr. Huang did today was clearly forcing someone to do something against their will. Our Great Xia Kingdom has always had strict laws. Forcing a woman to marry is punishable by caning at the very least, or exile at the worst. Mr. Huang is a smart man and should know how to choose."

Huang Heyu really wanted to break up with him on the spot, but Xu Qingye was not someone who could be offended easily.

After all, it was not unknown that he led a large group of people into the mountains today, and Ma Zhaolan, who showed them the way, was one of them.

Xu Qingye is a sickly person. If something really happens to him, others will think that he did something wrong.

Given his reputation in the surrounding area, if the villagers really sue him, he will have no way to explain himself.

"Mr. Xu, are you determined to go against my Huang family?"

Xu Qingye remained unmoved and said calmly, "This is not directed at the Huang family. It's the same for everyone when they encounter injustice on the road."

At this moment, Song Jinbao led a group of people holding carrying poles and hoes and came from the foot of the mountain.

"Tang'er, are you okay?"

He ran over here breathlessly, his head covered in sweat.

Behind him were Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinsheng, his second uncle Song Jinwen, and his eldest uncle's family of six. Zhuzi and Zhuangzi were young and rarely studied or exercised. They ran from the private school to report the news and followed him into the mountains. They followed at the end, tired and sticking out their tongues, grinning bitterly.

Looking at this scene, Song Yuntang, who had not been protected by his family for a long time, felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

"I am fine."

Song Jinbao walked over and looked at Huang Heyu, "Mr. Huang, we already made it very clear yesterday. We also apologized to you and Mr. Huang. Why do you keep pestering my Tang'er?"

Huang Heyu looked at him and said, "I also said yesterday that canceling the engagement would bring shame to our Huang family. I didn't agree, so it was just your family's wishful thinking. Your daughter is still a member of our Huang family."

Zhao Qiao'e quickly came to Song Yuntang's side, looked her up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine. She and her aunt Wang Hongying protected Song Yuntang behind them.

"Mr. Huang, why do you have to make things difficult for a poor family like us? There are many girls from nearby families who are willing to be your concubines. My Tang'er doesn't want to, so what's the point of forcing her to marry you?"

"Just because she's unwilling now doesn't mean she won't be willing after she enters my Huang family."

Seeing so many people coming, Huang Heyu knew that he couldn't take Song Yuntang away today. He smiled lightly and looked directly at Song Yuntang with his peach blossom eyes.

"Tang'er was lucky today to have met Mr. Xu. I hope you'll be so lucky next time." He said as he beckoned everyone to walk down the mountain. "Listen up, everyone. Song Yuntang belongs to me, Huang Heyu. Anyone who dares to marry her in the future will be going against my Huang family!"

Looking at Huang Heyu's shameless behavior, Zhao Qiao'e was so angry that she burst into tears.

"It's already bad for a woman's reputation to break off an engagement, and now this guy has made such a big fuss about it, how is our Tang'er going to get married in the future?"

Song Yuntang whispered behind her, "Then don't get married. It's not like getting married is the only way out for a woman."

In her previous life, she was killed on a blind date, and now that she came here, she has encountered so many problems because of the cancellation of the engagement. She really has no interest in getting married.

Zhao Qiao'e turned around and poked her head. "Look at what nonsense you are saying. What woman doesn't want to get married? Do you want your parents to be ridiculed by others?"

Song Yuntang covered his forehead and pursed his lips. Knowing that what he had just said was somewhat shocking in today's world, he shut up obediently.

Song Jinbao bowed respectfully towards Xu Qingye.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for stalling for today's incident. If Mr. Xu hadn't asked Zhuzi to come and inform us in advance, we wouldn't have known that Mr. Huang had followed Tang'er into the mountains."

"It's nothing. I've been hearing the villagers talking about the Song family for the past two days. I saw Huang Heyu leading people past the private school, and I was worried he might be up to something, so I asked Chengzhi and Chengliang to go and tell them." He looked at everyone. "Now that Miss Song is fine, it's time for me to return to the private school. Bye."

"Mr. Xu, walk slowly." Song Jinbao looked at his twin sons who were still gasping for breath. "Hurry up and help Mr. Xu down the mountain."

Zhuzizhuanzi ran towards Xu Qingye with shaking legs, holding his arms on both sides.

"Mr. Xu, let us help you down the mountain."

"Actually, that's not necessary..."

Xu Qingye was about to refuse, but Song Jinbao quickly said with a smile, "Don't feel embarrassed, Mr. Xu. My two boys are very strong. Let them support you, so you can go down the mountain more steadily."

The words that were on the tip of Xu Qingye's tongue were swallowed down by Song Jinbao's enthusiasm. He shook his head helplessly and let the two brothers Zhuzi and Zhuangzi help him down the mountain.

After watching Xu Qingye leave, the group didn't dare to leave Song Yuntang alone on the mountain to dig wild vegetables, so they pulled her down the mountain together.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Song Jinbao looked at Song Jinzhu and Song Jinwen.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, thank you so much for today."

Uncle Song Jinzhu waved his hand.

"We're family, it's not a big deal, but you have to be more careful from now on and don't let Tang'er go out alone again."

Song Jinbao nodded quickly, "How dare I do that now that something like this has happened?"

Aunt Wang Hongying grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Speaking of which, what Second Brother's wife did was not very honest. She didn't even bother to find out the true character of Huang Heyu before she made such a hasty matchmaking. Tang'er's marriage will probably require some effort, or she can just find someone from a distant place to marry and stop Young Master Huang from having any thoughts of her."
