Chapter 133 - 133 Shameless Vixen
133 Shameless Vixen
Gu Zhongxun thought that Zhao Pengfei’s silence meant that he had agreed. In his excitement, he held Zhao Pengfei’s bloody hand again.
Zhao Pengfei was in so much pain that his facial features were deformed. “Doctor Gu… Let go!”
Gu Zhongxun lowered his eyes and realized that he was touching his wound. He immediately let go and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Brother Zhao. I didn’t mean it.”
Zhao Pengfei was already in so much pain that he was about to become numb. He used his eyes to signal that since Gu Zhongxun had the strength to speak, shouldn’t he treat him first?
Gu Zhongxun hurriedly led him into the inner room.
After removing the sawdust on the flesh and applying medicine for him, Gu Zhongxun quickly wrote on his medical notes with a charcoal pencil. “Patient, Zhao Pengfei. He has masochistic tendencies when he sleepwalks. When he wakes up, he has no memories left…”
Zhao Pengfei wanted to say, “He really didn’t need to be treated.”
Zhao Pengfei’s hands were bandaged. He left the pharmacy after Gu Zhongxun reminded him repeatedly that he had to come back for treatment.
The villagers looked at him meaningfully. Zhao Pengfei lowered his head and quickly walked to his house door.
As soon as Little Peach saw him in the yard, she called out, “Third Uncle,” and was carried into the house by her grandmother.
Zhao Pengfei saw that his mother didn’t even look at him. Thinking of what he had done, he felt extremely regretful.
He suddenly knelt down and shouted to Auntie Yang, “Mother, I know my mistake.”
Zhao Pengfei really knew his mistake. He was willing to marry Zhao Lanzhi now.
In the house, Auntie Yang and her two daughters-in-law looked at each other. Two days ago, he was still struggling to convince them. How long had it been? Why had he suddenly changed?
Could it be that Zhao Pengfei was trying to stall for time and think of a way to get them to agree in the future?
Outside the courtyard, Zhao Pengfei continued, “Mother, I really know my mistake. I’ll never interact with her again. If I lie, I’ll definitely be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
Good lord, if he was acting, this was too ruthless.
Auntie Yang believed him immediately. She opened the door happily and held a handful of wolfberries in her hand. She walked in front of Zhao Pengfei and before he could stand up, she sprinkled the wolfberries on him and chanted, “Demons and ghosts, leave quickly! Demons and ghosts, leave quickly! Don’t come again, don’t come again…”
Her son had suddenly become abnormal some time ago. He must have been bewitched by the little vixen! Now that the vixen’s demonic aura had been chased away by her, it would be easier for her to explain to her in-law and propose marriage again.
Zhao Pengfei was speechless. When did his mother learn how to perform rituals?
As expected of Auntie Yang, after her actions, everyone really thought that Zhao Pengfei had been bewitched by the vixen from the neighboring village.
Due to a freak combination of factors, he was only able to regain his consciousness after a fever.
After the news spread throughout the entire village, Auntie Yang brought her two daughters-in-law to Zhao Lanzhi’s house to test her intentions.
When Bai Wutong heard this, she smiled tp herself. There were no demons or ghosts in this world. It was just the human heart.
Gossip was always the most popular entertainment among the commoners. Without needing Qingfeng to find out, Bai Wutong knew that Auntie Yang had failed in her visit with her two daughters-in-law.
Zhao Lanzhi was unwilling to meet them. She must have been heartbroken this time.
Zhao Lanzhi’s parents’ expressions softened a little as they accepted Auntie Yang’s things. After all, everyone had long regarded Zhao Lanzhi and Zhao Pengfei as a couple. If Zhao Lanzhi did not marry Zhao Pengfei, she would not be able to find a more suitable partner than Zhao Pengfei.
Moreover, they also believed that Zhao Pengfei had been muddled for a moment and had really been bewitched by the vixen. Since he had woken up in time, it meant that he was still sensible.
Zhao Lanzhi’s parents thought for a moment and persuaded Zhao Lanzhi to give him another chance to change.
However, Zhao Lanzhi refused to agree to this marriage and even threatened to die if she was forced to marry him.
When Cui Lingyi heard this, she felt some admiration for Zhao Lanzhi. “It’s better to die than live in dishonor. It would be a pity to let the third Zhao brother marry her.”
In Cui Lingyi’s eyes, Zhao Pengfei had already become an unfaithful person. She hated such people the most in her life.
Bai Wutong sighed. “It’s a pity.”
Women in ancient times were extremely conservative. Zhao Lanzhi’s reputation had already been damaged. She might be criticized no matter who she married.
Cui Lingyi picked up her teacup and sighed again. She said angrily, “Zhao Lanzhi probably just can’t let go. When the third Zhao brother puts down his pride to coax her, her anger will probably subside. By then, it would probably be time for their wedding.”
Bai Wutong smiled. “Everyone has their own choices. There’s no need to care about other people’s lives.”
Cui Lingyi suddenly looked at her and smiled. “Little Phoenix, I think what you said makes sense. It’s a pity for you not to be a teacher.”
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes and stood up to look at the sprouts on the golden plum tree outside the window. The children were playing together in groups of three or two. Chu Tianbao suddenly stuck his head out of the bushes and grinned at her.
The corners of Bai Wutong’s lips curled up. “It’s better for me not to mislead others. There are many good teachers in the village.”
Teaching one was enough for her.
Some people were just cheap. The more they couldn’t get it, the better it tasted.
When Zhao Pengfei found out that Zhao Lanzhi was unwilling to marry him, he suddenly panicked.
It turned out that Zhao Lanzhi didn’t only have him as her choice.
But at this moment, he realized that Zhao Lanzhi was the most suitable woman for him.
She was considerate, kind, and capable. Most importantly, she only had him in her heart. She was definitely not a promiscuous woman.
Now that Zhao Lanzhi was unwilling to marry him, he felt empty, as if a piece of his heart was missing.
He circled around Zhao Lanzhi’s house and stared at it all day long. Even if Zhao Lanzhi wanted to marry someone else, she would not be able to find a suitable in-law if they heard the rumors.
Seeing that Zhao Lanzhi was still unwilling to marry Zhao Pengfei, Zhao Lanzhi’s parents personally found Village Chief Zhao and warned him not to let his son harass their daughter anymore. Even if his son didn’t want his reputation, his daughter still wanted it!
After being taught another lesson by Village Chief Zhao, Zhao Pengfei did not dare to squat in front of Zhao Lanzhi’s house anymore. He wanted to ask Zhao Lanzhi’s younger brother to help him pass something to Zhao Lanzhi, but he was glared at by Zhao Erwa and was even spat at. “Bah, you bastard!”
Just as Zhao Pengfei was trying his best to win Zhao Lanzhi’s favor, Wang Mingyue, who went to the forest every day to wait for Zhao Pengfei, sensed that something was wrong.
Zhao Pengfei had said that he would marry her. Even if his parents did not agree, he should not have not turned up for so long.
She was flustered. Zhao Pengfei was her only hope now. If she couldn’t grab hold of him, she would be stuck in the swamp for the rest of her life.
Wang Mingyue’s eyes darkened. Zhao Pengfei had to marry her even if he didn’t want to!
In order to force Zhao Pengfei to marry her, Wang Mingyue risked everything. She put on her most dignified clothes and arrived at the entrance of Youjia village.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the village, she was stared at by an auntie.
Wang Mingyue suppressed the displeasure in her heart and shouted with a bright smile, “Auntie, may I ask where Zhao Pengfei’s house is?”
Zhao Lanzhi’s mother had already guessed that this little vixen was Wang Mingyue from the neighboring village.
Her face turned cold and she suddenly spat on Wang Mingyue’s face. “Pfft, shameless vixen, you still have the cheek to come to our village!”
