Chapter 602: Chapter 606: Ruin My Reputation?_1
From behind came the furious roar of the Wang Clan, "Have you no shame? Even your butt has been seen! Pee farther away, you’re stinking up the place!"
"My heavens, what grievance or enmity do I have with you? I am already of an old age, yet you still seek to ruin my reputation, don’t you?"
"Damn you, Tan Zhenghong, I am your mother, and yet you let me suffer here!"
The Wang Clan turned her head away, not daring to look at Xiao Lingchuan.
But after a moment, she couldn’t help but sneak a peek; though she was of an old age, her curiosity was still very strong.
Looking at the size... it was just so-so...
It wasn’t quite up to par with Tan Yuancheng in his younger days.
After walking a distance, Tan Zhenghong finally said, "I really want to see what’s inside your head, to come up with such a method."
To this, he only wanted to say four words, which were, "Well done indeed!"
Qiao Duo’er bragged, "To deal with the shameless, one must use shameless tactics. Let’s not talk about those troublesome people anymore and hurry back so I can help you rebandage."
"How did you know?" Tan Zhenghong scratched his own head.
"How could I not know your weight and measure?"
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at him, but it was too dark for Tan Zhenghong to catch it.
Tan Zhenghong was dismissive of his injury, as long as his wife hadn’t seen anything she shouldn’t have, he was completely satisfied.
Thinking of Da Ya and Er Ya, Qiao Duo’er’s head drooped.
"It’s all my fault, I have implicated them."
If she hadn’t angered Xuan San, Da Ya and Er Ya wouldn’t be in danger.
This was probably why she didn’t dare to get close to people in her past life.
Her hands were stained with too much blood; she was afraid of implicating the innocent.
"It’s Tan Zhengyuan who has ill intentions. He has been thinking of selling his daughter for a long time. If it weren’t for Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, it would have been someone else. You couldn’t have stopped him anyway," Tan Zhengyuan comforted.
Qiao Duo’er continued to be downcast. Mountain bandits were notoriously cruel and insane; what if they did something to the two girls?
They were so young, with their whole lives ahead of them!
"Xuan Qing’s target is us. He won’t hurt them before we take the bait,"
Qiao Duo’er murmured, "I just hope they are safe and sound."
Since it was all caused by her, no matter what, she would save them.
Tan Zhenghong pulled his wife into his embrace, "Don’t worry, they are still children, nothing will happen to them for now. As soon as it gets light tomorrow, we will go to town and discuss with Brother Qin. There must be a way."
Qiao Duo’er nodded vigorously, feeling a bit more at ease.
Upon arriving home, Qiao Duo’er lit the fire, boiled water in the big pot, and warmed steamed buns and vegetables in the small pot.
This stove was connected to the ground dragon heating system of the main house. When used, the separation board was removed, allowing the warm air to enter underneath the main house, heating it up after not too long.
Qiao Duo’er added a fair amount of firewood to the stove, which allowed her to take the opportunity to help Tan Zhenghong dress his wounds.
Tan Zhenghong had two wounds that had split open, the sight of the red and white flesh caused Qiao Duo’er to frown.
It must be very painful, but Tan Zhenghong did not even grunt once.
Must this man be so stubbornly resilient? Could he not just give in at home, in front of those closest to him? Wasn’t it tiring to keep up the act?
"From now on, you’re not allowed to get hurt. Otherwise, I’ll divorce you!" Qiao Duo’er threatened half-jokingly.
Tan Zhenghong readily nodded, "My person is yours, and so is my body. If I ever think about getting hurt in the future, I will definitely apply with you first."
"Absolutely not approved!"
Qiao Duo’er handled him with the utmost gentleness, fearing she might accidentally cause Tan Zhenghong pain.
