Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chapter 322 Guilt

The bowl of noodles sat there, and she didn't eat it even as it grew cold.

It wasn't until noon that Wang Erniu returned, travel-worn and accompanied by a large group of people, including Chu Yi and Wang Hanyang.

"My lady, are you alright!" Wang Erniu leaped off his horse, dropped the reins, and rushed over, grabbing her hand.

"Ah!" Chen Wenfang's eyes were unfocused for a while before they finally shone. "What's wrong? You're here."

"Are you alright?" Wang Erniu anxiously looked her up and down.

"I'm fine! Nothing's wrong at all!"

"Really not?"

"No, really, look!" Chen Wenfang picked up her torn skirt. "It's just this little injury!"

"Pfft, you~" Wang Erniu was amused by her and patted her head. "It's good that you're alright. I was so worried about you. I didn't know whether joining the army was a good thing or a bad thing."

“Of course it’s a good thing, we have to look at it in the long run…” Chen Wenfang withdrew her hand and lay back down.

Seeing her like this, Wang Erniu was very worried.

"Oh, perfect timing, Mr. Wang, you two are both here!" Ma Liu led several constables over. He bent down and skillfully examined the hands of the corpse on the ground, saying, "Madam Chen, this situation can't go on like this!"

Chen Wenfang covered her face with a handkerchief and said calmly, "I know, so tell me what I should do!"

Seeing this, Wang Erniu grabbed a chair and sat down beside her, took her hand, patted it, and said, "Don't worry, my wife, I'll take care of it."

Chen Wenfang took her hand in return, touched it, and said nothing.

Ma Liudao said, "These are all experienced assassins. These people are different from the ones before. They didn't succeed this time, but they will probably come back in the future. Madam Chen, you have to be careful. I will report this matter. The magistrate of Xin County is good and should take care of it, but it probably won't do any good. Master Wang, you still have to find a way yourself."

"Thank you, Lord Ma Liu, I will understand." Wang Erniu replied repeatedly.

After Ma Liu finished his examination, he found someone to drag the bodies away. Chen Wenfang felt a little better. Aunt Liu and the others had already prepared a new room. Chen Wenfang drank some soup and then lay down.

Before long, Wang Erniu, still damp from his bath, crawled into bed and began to undress Chen Wenfang.

"Oh dear! I'm going to sleep. I didn't sleep well last night." Chen Wenfang slapped his hand away, not in the mood.

"Sweetie, I feel unwell, feel it." Wang Erniu grabbed her hand and pressed it against his.

Chen Wenfang had no choice. She hadn't seen him for over ten days, and thinking that he must be feeling terrible, she let him do whatever he wanted. But in broad daylight, her lips ached from biting so hard. After a long while, Wang Erniu was even more energetic after he finished, while Chen Wenfang was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Erniu got up and went to find Wang Hanyang. "Go find Qi Ge'er later and thank him. Luckily, the manor invited two Wudang masters, otherwise, we might not have seen a single person when we got back."

"Yes." Wang Hanyang was very relieved that his wife had moved to town, but he couldn't say that out loud.

"Send him 20,000 taels of silver later, and find some experts to come over. Let's not worry about anything else, just support them and make sure those people never leave alive," Wang Erniu said fiercely.

"Okay." Wang Hanyang accepted the order and left.

In the afternoon, Chen Wenfang slept for more than half an hour, then woke up groggily, staring blankly at the fluttering bed curtains without moving.

"Wife, are you awake? Are you hungry? What are you thinking about?" Wang Erniu brought over a few plates of snacks and sat on the edge of the bed to ask.

"I want revenge!" Chen Wenfang clearly uttered those words.

"Sure, who does my wife want to kill?" Wang Erniu replied casually, adjusting her pillow.

"Cao Ruyu, who killed Zhao Lue's wife!" Chen Wenfang recalled the arrogant look in Cao Ruyu's eyes when she looked down on her. In that instant, hatred filled her chest. So what if I'm just an ordinary person? If you don't let me have a good life, I'll make you bleed.

"Okay, I'll take care of it!" Wang Erniu grasped her hand and patted it to reassure her.

“I’ll do it myself, husband, you go and get busy. Get things done over there quickly, the higher the rank, the stronger my backing.” Chen Wenfang sat up, looked at him steadily, and made her determination clear.

"Alright, then what do you want to do, my wife?" Wang Erniu looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Uh, I haven't thought about it yet," Chen Wenfang replied dejectedly. Please, she was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze; when had she ever had such thoughts of murder and arson? She simply wouldn't.

"Hehe!" Wang Erniu chuckled. His wife was just that kind.

"Ugh, you're so annoying." Chen Wenfang said angrily. "I'll find a way. We can't keep taking the beatings. We have to fight back."

"Alright, my wife, you take your time thinking. You do your thing, I'll do mine, and we'll see who succeeds first." Wang Erniu wasn't going to let the woman off the hook either.

"I know," Chen Wenfang thought to herself. Although she wasn't from ancient times and didn't have as many cunning schemes, she had skills and money. If she could hire assassins, so could she. Amazing! Right, didn't she have a little informant in her household? Perhaps that child could be used. Chen Wenfang pondered.

Chu Yi was watching over the children in the side room, preparing to discipline them. The two Taoist priests had just spoken to him, saying that these children were too bloodthirsty; they were so young, yet they shot and killed several villains without batting an eye, which was truly frightening. Chengcheng felt extremely guilty because Da Xiong was injured, so he stayed by his side to take care of him and refused to leave.

"You guys..." Chu Yi hesitated, wondering what words to use.

"Brother Chuyi, stop talking. Let me ask you, when our godmother was in danger, do you think we had time to watch over those bad guys?" Xiaohao invited him to answer earnestly.

"Uh, no, my godmother is more important." Chu Yi thought for a moment, but had no other answer.

“That’s right, I think Xiao Hao is not wrong.” Fifteen stood up to him.

“Yes. Xiao Hao thought of it faster than I did,” Chen Xuanyu said. “Actually, I should have thought of it before him; maybe I was just a bit slow.”

"Okay, actually I think you did the right thing, but if someone isn't that heinous, don't just kill them indiscriminately," Chu Yi advised.

"I understand!" Xiao Hao said. "These two Taoist priests are indeed quite skilled. Brother Chu Yi should also learn from them when you have time. It will be very helpful."

"I know, you little devil." Chu Yi flicked his nose and said nothing more.

Fifteen said mischievously, "Brother, we've recently learned some light-body skills. Do you want to try and see if you can catch up with us?"

"Give it a try! You guys!" said the first-year student with disdain.

"I'm running away!" The fifteenth sentence had barely left her lips when she dashed off, disappearing in a flash...

"Hey, it actually works!" Chu Yi took off chasing after it...
