Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chapter 299 Never mind

Just as she was about to rush out, Ru'er slowly returned from behind.

"Don't go..."

"Why? I must march on her estate."

Ru'er handed her a note: "Master said that Chen Wenfang must not be pursued or killed. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

Qian'er angrily took it and glanced at it, "Ugh, how annoying... there's no good food today."

Ru'er looked at her amusedly, "Never mind, let's go for a walk in the street, I'll buy you some delicious food..."

"Hmm, that's more like it!" Qian'er, being childish, quickly forgot about it, but she still held a grudge. She didn't know why her master gave such an order, but she had saved Chen Wenfang's life by keeping her there, and yet Chen Wenfang had actually run away ungratefully. It was too much...

Wang Erniu and his group traveled for two days in a row. Only after confirming that no one was chasing them could they relax and enjoy the scenery. The news of rescuing Chen Wenfang had also reached Lijia Town, and everyone was relieved. The children were eagerly waiting for her return.

During their time on the road home, Wang Erniu was the one who had the most enjoyable experience. He had a beautiful woman by his side and no children to bother him. Chu Yi and Ya Tou were particularly good at reading each other's expressions; the two of them had become close and often played together. The couple could also whisper many secrets to each other, and every day was filled with sweetness and affection.

Chen Wenfang laughed and said, "Husband, it feels like we're on our honeymoon."

Wang Erniu took her small hand in his big hand and asked, "What is a honeymoon?"

Chen Wenfang then explained, "We have a custom where we live. After the wedding, the couple goes on a trip alone for a period of time, which is called a honeymoon."

Wang Erniu then laughed and said, "So, I don't owe you anything for not accompanying you on your honeymoon?"

Chen Wenfang smiled and shook their tightly clasped hands, saying, "Isn't this it now? What's there to owe? It's already very good that you're with me."

Wang Erniu resisted the urge to touch her little face, and leaned her against his shoulder. The weather was getting warmer and warmer. In April, the birds were flying and the grass was growing. The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass juice, which smelled particularly pleasant. The two of them sat outside in a horse-drawn carriage, basking in the warm sunshine and looking at the mountain scenery and lake. It was an exceptionally beautiful scene.

Wang Erniu and his wife had such a good relationship that Ya Tou and Chu Yi were constantly swooning over each other, while Cao Ruyu was causing a huge commotion in the mansion.

"Are you out of your mind? Why did you send someone to take Madam Chen away? What did she do wrong? Are you so comfortable being a high-born lady that you can't stand seeing others alive?" Zhao Lue received news of Chen Wenfang's disappearance from Ouyang Junyan. After investigating, he discovered that his wife had actually kidnapped someone based on a few rumors? Where's her brain?

"What did I do wrong? You actually cursed me for that widow? So what if I killed her? I'm a general's wife, so what if I stepped on an ant? Who told that whore to dare seduce you? She has no self-awareness at all!" Cao Ruyu said indignantly, only cursing.

"Shut up! You vicious woman, how dare you kill her?" Zhao Lue could no longer hold back and slapped her hard across the face.

"How dare you hit me!" Cao Ruyu covered her face, her eyes wide with disbelief and venom. "You actually hit me for that woman! Don't forget, I have the Cao family behind me. Without the Cao family, would you, a mere prince, even stand up?"

Zhao Lue snorted coldly, "Yes! I don't deny that your Cao family has helped us a lot, but she is innocent. She did not seduce me."

Cao Ruyu gritted her teeth, "Fine, you're still protecting her. Don't forget, I'm your wife!"

Zhao Lue looked at her coldly, "It's only because you're my wife that I indulge you. You want to have a son first, so I've never taken a concubine. You're worried about not having an heir and clinging to your wealth, so I've given you all my income from my shops. You've been lending money at exorbitant interest rates, and I can tolerate all of that. But since you dare to order the Empress to do such shady things for your people, do you think it will put the Empress in a difficult position if this gets exposed? And do you think she'll let you off the hook?"

Zhao Lue grew angrier as he spoke, pointing his finger at her and saying, "You are utterly stupid!"

Qian'er, one of the two sisters who had been eavesdropping outside, could no longer hold back and rushed in, saying, "General, please don't be offended. The mistress did not kill Lady Chen." Ru'er was too late to stop her.

Cao Ruyu and Zhao Lue both turned to look at her.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Zhao Lue breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cao Ruyu, "You'd better watch yourself. I don't want to hear anything bad anymore. As for loan sharking, don't lend money anymore. Otherwise, I don't mind taking a concubine. I'm not young anymore, I should have a child." After saying that, Zhao Lue left without looking back.

After Zhao Lue disappeared from sight, Cao Ruyu coldly stood in front of Qian'er and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Didn't I tell you to get rid of her? Don't you understand? I meant to kill her!"

Qian'er said apologetically, "Yes, I did let her go."

With a loud "slap," Cao Ruyu gave Qian'er a hard slap across the face. "You bitch, who gave you the guts to disobey me? What did I say back then? What did your master teach you? How dare you defy me?"

Seeing this, Ru'er walked in and gave a slight bow. "Please don't be offended, Madam. It was Master's order that we let Madam Chen go and not pursue her. That's why we didn't take action. Besides, the General is right. It's good for Madam to listen."

Cao Ruyi laughed loudly, "Hmph, what's it to you! Just do what I say. Didn't you say you would only listen to me when you came here? Why are you listening to your master now?"

Ru'er said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It was Master who ordered us to protect you and serve you. We obey Master's orders first, and only then will we carry out yours. Please, Madam, understand the difference between primary and secondary matters and don't take offense. As for Qian'er, it's not your place to lecture her." With that, she gracefully led her people away.

A series of loud crashing sounds came from behind; Cao Ruyu was smashing things...

Qian'er remained silent, looking somewhat sad.

Ru'er rarely spoke up to explain, "How about it? Regret it now? Why did you rush up to help her out?"

Qian'er said angrily, "How can she be so ungrateful? I was clearly helping her."

Ru'er sighed, "Everyone has their own destiny. Don't interfere in other people's karma. Look at what happened just now. If you hadn't tried to explain, you wouldn't have gotten slapped. How was it? Did it hurt?"

"It's alright!" Qian'er said, blushing. "But she'll find out eventually, won't she?"

"That's a matter for the future. Now that the General knows, it's the same as the Palace knowing. She'll have to think about how to deal with the Palace Lady's wrath tomorrow..." Ru'er sneered...
