Chapter 139: Unmediated Adultery
Although the room was not large, Su Li kept it spotless and bright.
Originally, this was the room Su Li intended to use to store pickled vegetables, but for now it's temporarily a place for Peach Blossom and Young Master Tang to stay.
"I've prepared this house in advance, so you can stay here without worry for a while. It's in a rather remote location, so not many people come here, and you can live a quiet life."
Young Master Tang looked at Su Li with deep gratitude and bowed respectfully.
“Miss Su Li, I am deeply grateful and will do my best to help you if you ever need my help in the future.”
Soon, the news that Peach Blossom had an affair with a scholar who had drifted to the vicinity of the village and that she was pregnant caused a huge uproar in the village.
The villagers gathered together, discussing the matter animatedly.
"This peach blossom usually looks timid, I never expected it to be so bold as to do something like this?"
"Getting pregnant out of wedlock, how will you ever face anyone again!"
"Exactly, exactly! Her dad always seems unreliable, always drunk. Now look what's happened, what a misfortune for the family!"
When the news arrived, Peach Blossom's father was dead drunk in the town tavern, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Waiter, another pot!"
Some time ago, my daughter gave him all the money she had saved up over the past few months.
There were more than ten taels of silver, enough for him to live on for a while.
Seeing him like this, the villagers next to him laughed and joked, "Hey, still drinking? If you keep drinking, your daughter will run off with someone else!"
"What did you say?" Peach Blossom's father raised his drunken eyes, his tone unfriendly and full of warning.
"It's all over the village, and you, her own father, don't even know? Your Peach Blossom and that scholar from out of town are having an ambiguous relationship, and both are pregnant!"
The villagers described it vividly, their faces showing an expression of enjoying the spectacle.
Peach Blossom's father frowned, his face full of suspicion: "Don't talk nonsense, my Peach Blossom is not that kind of person!"
"How could I dare to lie to you? Everyone in the village, young and old, knows it. If you don't believe me, just go back and ask them!"
The villagers patted their chests and said it with absolute certainty.
Peach Blossom's father began to have doubts, and as he sobered up a bit, he hurriedly paid for the drinks and staggered home.
When he got home, he saw Peach Blossom standing nervously under the eaves in the courtyard, with a strange man standing next to her. He immediately realized that what the villagers had said was true.
A surge of anger rushed to his head, and his face burned. He felt utterly humiliated in the village.
He kicked open the courtyard gate, his eyes wide like saucers, and roared viciously, "You shameless bastard!"
Immediately afterwards, a slap was sent flying towards Peach Blossom.
Peach Blossom trembled with fear and instinctively curled up to the side.
Seeing this, Young Master Tang quickly stepped forward to stop them, anxiously saying, "Uncle, let's talk this out. Peach Blossom can't be hit now!"
His words only fueled Peach Blossom's father's rage. He pointed at Young Master Tang's nose and yelled, "You pretty boy, this is all your doing!"
As he spoke, he turned his attention to Young Master Tang and threw a punch at him.
"uncle!"
Young Master Tang couldn't dodge in time and took a heavy punch to the face, blood instantly seeping from the corner of his mouth. However, he showed no intention of retaliating; instead, he quickly turned to the side, tightly shielding Peach Blossom beneath him, and shouted loudly:
"Uncle, please don't take your anger out on Tao Hua. It's my fault. If you want to hit someone, hit me instead!"
Seeing this, Peach Blossom's father became even angrier and roared furiously:
"Well, you two are really inseparable! You've done these shameful things behind my back, have you no shame at all? I'm going to teach you both a lesson today!"
He grabbed a stick from the side and struck Tang Gongzi hard, one blow after another.
"Father, Father, please stop hitting him! If you keep hitting him, something terrible will happen!" Peach Blossom cried and pleaded, her voice filled with terror and despair.
"You still dare to protect him?"
Peach Blossom's father was now completely sober and even angrier, his eyes blazing with fury. He punched Young Master Tang several more times, leaving him covered in bruises.
A crowd had already gathered outside the Zheng family's courtyard, pointing and whispering.
"Oh dear, this has really blown up. Of all people to mess with, why did we have to pick on this drunkard?" someone in the crowd whispered.
"That scholar is something else. He looks respectable, how could he do such a foolish thing and bring trouble to Peach Blossom?" another person sighed.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Su Li strode forward and stood firmly in the middle, her expression calm and her tone gentle yet powerful:
"Uncle, please calm down. What's done is done, and hitting or scolding won't solve anything. Young Master Tang genuinely wants to take responsibility for Tao Hua and the child, and it hasn't been easy for them to get to this point."
Su Li stepped forward at the opportune moment.
He'd already hit her and yelled at her; Peach Blossom's father should have vented most of his anger by now.
Now it's time to solve the problem.
If he continues to fight like this, someone will die sooner or later.
Peach Blossom's father was furious and wouldn't listen to a word. His eyes were wide open as he glared at Su Li and roared, "You little brat from the Su family, mind your own business!"
"Get out of my way right now!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, intending to strike Su Li as well.
Su Li neither dodged nor flinched, and calmly spoke:
"The Tang family of Yun County is quite famous. The Tang family only has one son, and he is quite ambitious. It is not impossible for him to pass the imperial examination and bring glory to his ancestors in the future."
"If the Tang family finds out that their only son died at your hands, they probably won't let it go easily. Besides, the Tang family will be coming soon."
"Uncle, please don't be anxious. Look, Young Master Tang's family is well-off, and he will definitely not let Tao Hua suffer in the future. Tao Hua works at the dock shop and can earn quite a bit of money. If these two get together, it will be a good match. Even if they made a mistake in a moment of impulse, why did it have to come to this?"
Upon hearing this, Peach Blossom's father froze in mid-air with his raised hand, his face turning pale and then red.
I wanted to refute it, but I was speechless for a moment.
The surrounding villagers began to whisper among themselves, their pointing and gesturing gradually turning into quiet discussions, and a hint of jealousy appeared in their eyes as they looked at Tao Hua.
"Sigh, the Zheng family must have had some incredible luck to be able to arrange this marriage. We've never heard of the Tang family in Yun County. If they could afford to support a scholar, their family must be quite well-off!"
"Does anyone know if it's the Tang family from Yun County?"
"I know, I know! The Tang family is a very large family. They have many businesses in Yun County and are very wealthy."
"I never expected that Peach Blossom would have such a connection with the young master of the Tang family. She's probably going to have a good life from now on."
The whispers of the surrounding villagers reached Peach Blossom's father's ears without missing a single word.
Upon hearing that the Tang family was wealthy, Peach Blossom's father's heart skipped a beat, and his attitude underwent a subtle change.
He squinted and looked Tang Gongzi up and down with suspicion.
Although Young Master Tang looked somewhat disheveled from being beaten and scolded, and his clothes were tattered, his inherent charisma was undeniable.
With his upright posture and refined demeanor, exuding the elegance characteristic of a scholar, he certainly had the air of a wealthy young master.
