Chapter 326: Personal Well-Being and Safety

One day, He Xiaohua came to visit Ning Shu and asked, “Why doesn’t Wen Ruhua like me?”

Ning Shu took a bite of a wild fruit, then asked, “Why do you want him to like you? All Wen Ruhua has is good looks. He doesn’t have anything else. He can’t provide you with a stable life. He can barely keep himself alive, so how will he help you raise children?”

In addition, his personality was gross. Living with someone like that would definitely be exhausting.

He Xiaohua said bashfully, “I don’t really need him to take care of me. Since he’s all by himself anyways, I wanted him to join our family. My dad agreed to it too.”

“Pfff…” Ning Shu spat out the bite of fruit she just took. He Xiaohua wanted Wen Ruhua to join her family? If he knew, he’d definitely feel greatly insulted again.

Ning Shu patted He Xiaohua’s shoulder. “Good luck.”

There was no way Wen Ruhua would agree to it. The only way to make it happen was with a special trick.

When Ning Shu got back from hiking, she saw that Wen Ruhua was standing in the courtyard with a dark expression. Steam was practically coming from the top of his head.

“Bai Qinxiang, you’re always saying that you were here to look after me so that I’d study for the imperial exams, but it looks to me like you’re actually here to seduce men. You’re now an official couple with He Dahua, is it? You don’t even care about hiding your shameful deeds anymore. Bai Qinxiang, I really was blind back then. So you were actually this shameless. Are you lusting that much for a man? If you seriously can’t take it, I’ll satisfy you.”

When Ning Shu heard this, she stiffened. Hadn’t this been what Wen Ruhua said to Mu Yanmeng in the original storyline? But she was Bai Qinxiang right now.

“If you don’t restrain yourself from now on, I’ll fulfill your desires.” Wen Ruhua gave a cold humph and brushed past her to leave.

Ning Shu gazed at his back. It seemed like she had pushed Wen Ruhua off the edge, but she hadn’t done anything? It was completely Wen Ruhua being a control freak and insisting that she stayed away from He Dahua.

Ning Shu felt that there was a need to consider her personal well-being and safety, so she walked into the house and took a look at the family heirloom sword that was hanging on the wall. En, let’s use this for protection.

She hid the sword inside the tent. Yue Lan asked, “Miss, what are you doing this for? Why are you putting a weapon next to the bed? These things are inauspicious, it’ll cause nightmares.”

“It’s fine, your miss is strong. Your miss also has a weapon.” Ning Shu used her hand to lift up her chest.

Yue Lan: …

>Explanation being: weapon (凶(fierce)器(tool) xiong1 qi4) ‘weapon’ (胸(chest)器(tool)xiong1 qi4) The second word’s not actually a word. It’s a homophone joke.

“Miss, why don’t we tell the hidden guard to come here?” suggested Yue Lan.

Ning Shu waved her hand. “I can deal with a weak chicken like Wen Ruhua with just one finger. There’s no need to call your big brother hidden guard. Or is it that you miss him? You can go to the village entrance to visit him.”

Yue Lan stomped her foot. “Miss, what are you saying? There’s nothing between me and the hidden guard but the way you’re always putting it makes it sound like there’s something.”

Ning Shu drank some water, then looked at Yue Lan earnestly. “I really do hope that there’s something between you and the hidden guard, that way you’d have someone to rely on in the future.”

“Miss is this servant’s reliance. En, men are all unreliable. Without Miss supporting me, that hidden guard would bully me,” said Yue Lan.

Ning Shu sighed. She sincerely hoped that something would spark between the big brother hidden guard and this little sis Yue Lan.

“Little beauty ahh, save mee! Hurry and save your Big Brother Dahua…” He Dahua ran over, his entire body bouncing. The ground was practically shaking with his steps.

It looked like a ball of meat was bouncing towards her. Ning Shu coughed out her tea.

He Dahua ran to her, then plopped himself down on the chair. The chair creaked dangerously.

He Dahua was panting so heavily that his breathing almost sounded like snores. Ning Shu’s lips twitched as she asked, “Is someone trying to kill you?”

“It’s even scarier than that. You’re the only one that can help me.” He Dahua squeezed out some tears as he looked towards Ning Shu.

#comment: This Wen Ruhua pisses me off even more than that Su Meng pair. I hate useless, ignorant, obstinate, judgmental, hypocrites, the, most! Thank god I don’t encounter that many in real life.
