"Are you... okay?"

The man was none other than Li Pinglang, the scholar from the Li family who had been engaged to Yunluo.

At first, when Yunluo's father was alive, the Li family was considered a good match. But after Yunluo's father had his accident, leaving her and her son as orphans, the Li family clearly looked down on Yunluo.

How could an orphan girl be worthy of a scholar?

Not only did Li's mother look down on her, but Li himself had long been captivated by Yunlan, and the two had secretly met countless times.

Back then, Yun Luo was foolish and had a bad temper; he was no match for the innocent and pure Yun Lan.

Judging from his tone, Yunluo realized that she was alright, but he seemed to be feeling unwell.

She looked up and said calmly, "What a coincidence to run into my brother-in-law here. I have to go home and cook. Goodbye."

Yunlu had no interest in dealing with him. Brother Qin's safety was unknown, and there were two young children waiting to be fed at home. She had too many things to do.

"Yunluo, it's not that I don't want to marry you, it's just that your fate is too tough. You've only been married into the Qin family for a few days, and you've already brought bad luck to Qin Zheng..."

"Shut up!" Yun Luo's face turned cold.

So, does this scumbag scholar mean that his affair with Yunlan is all her fault?

She's a prostitute who wants to maintain a virtuous image, and she even comes here pretending to be noble. Who is she trying to disgust?

"Your business is none of my concern, and my business is none of your business. If we meet again, pretend we don't know each other and don't try to disgust me."

"Wait……"

Before Li Pinglang could finish speaking, Yun Luo had already left.

It shouldn't be.

Yunlu used to come to his house every day just to see him, like a little shadow.

How much has changed in just a few days?

……

Yun Luo returned home, where the two children and Yun Shaojie were playing in the yard. Seeing her return, Xiao Yu put down the dirt she was holding and rushed over with a smile, "Mommy, I'm hungry..."

"Good boy, wash your hands with your brother, and Mom will go cook for you."

Yun Shaojie blinked, looking at his sister's basket full of wild vegetables, his eyes filled with doubt, "Sister, you didn't go to the back mountain to pick up some wild vegetables from the forest next to the village, did you?"

“Yes?” Yun Luo replied.

This time, after the family divided their property, Grandma Yun didn't give them a single vegetable plot. The rice in the fields hadn't been harvested yet, so for the next few months, they would have to eat wild vegetables.

She divided the wild vegetables into two portions, stuffing one portion into her younger brother's hand, saying, "Take this back with your mother."

"Sister, have you forgotten? Half a year ago, Uncle Zhou went there and said he saw a ghost in the woods and went crazy from fright when he came back. Later, many villagers had similar experiences. That place is not clean. Even young adults go in together. How could you, a woman, go in alone?"

My sister was in such a mess because of the broken engagement with Li Jiaxiu, the old woman even said she was going to throw her into the back mountain.

Yun Shaojie had something on his mind. "Sister, remember what I said, don't go to that place. Tomorrow, I'll go with you to dig for wild vegetables somewhere else. Mom is still waiting for me at home, so I'll go back first."

After Yun Shaojie left, she tidied up a bit and cooked wild vegetable porridge for dinner. She also used the last bit of lard left in the stove to stir-fry a plate of wild mushrooms, which she enjoyed with the porridge. After dinner, the two children went to bed happily.

Yunluo, however, was not sleepy and moved a small stool to sit by the door.

Little Sparrow didn't return, and there was no news of Qin Zheng either.

Her heart sank little by little.

After waiting for a long time, Yunluo was half asleep when she heard a faint sound, like footsteps.

She woke up with a start, her eyes meeting a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, a mixture of the shock of being startled by the sudden appearance of the man and the joy of being caught. She instinctively hugged the tall man in front of her, "Qin Zheng, you're alright, that's wonderful!"
