Chapter 163 Transmigration into Stepmother Literature × SimpletonTyrantGuard (24)
Upon hearing that Yun Qiao had also had a difficult time, Qin Lang cried even harder.
He remembered that Yun Qiao had been married off to a dead man by a pervert, and then she took him back to make him her empress.
I put down my chopsticks and wanted to reach out to comfort her.
Not to mention the God of Wealth tried to stop her, Yun Qiao jumped and hid next to him.
What is that? It's filthy. Giving it a meal out of consideration for us fellow villagers is already being kind. Let it go!
What an ungrateful little thing!
Of course, she couldn't directly express her dislike, so Yun Qiao still pretended for a moment.
"By the way, this is my current husband, He An."
As they spoke, they glanced at the God of Wealth, subtly showing off their affection.
Before Qin Lang realized he was being disliked, he had already looked at the man next to him in the same direction she was talking about.
"That's all there is to it! It's nowhere near as good as him!" he muttered, unconvinced.
"It's fine if you reject me, but what makes him better than me?"
Yes, he confessed his feelings to Yun Qiao when she came home for winter break during her first year of college, but she failed. He didn't know why she disliked him, even though he genuinely had a crush on her.
When Yun Qiao heard his words, she almost lost her smile. Ever since she started studying medicine, her romantic fantasies had been completely worn away by resentment. She often wanted to kill the version of herself who had once secretly loved Qin Lang.
However, the situation is complicated now. He is her only fellow villager here. Although she wouldn't have died suddenly while studying medicine if it weren't for him, she wouldn't be able to run her small clinic now if she hadn't studied medicine.
It's all so convoluted and hard to pinpoint the blame, but that doesn't stop Yun Qiao from really disliking him—that non-mainstream, flamboyant, blond-haired guy.
“He’s better than you in every way, and we’re very happy.”
They could have been happier if he hadn't suddenly appeared.
Qin Lang looked at He An with resentment and hostility. Seeing that He An was calm and completely ignoring him, he felt even more annoyed. But fearing that Yun Qiao would scold him, he stopped talking nonsense.
"Shouldn't you be my queen? How come you remarried?"
He's still a bit stubborn.
Yun Qiao glared at him. "Oh, then go out and tell everyone you're the tyrant Qin Xiangchi."
Qin Lang obediently shut up.
Yun Qiao looked at him with a headache. According to him, Qin Xiangchi would still appear sometimes, but less often recently. But she was still worried about this situation.
After consideration, he was placed in the storage room.
“My family isn’t well-off either, so you’ll have to make do here for a few days.”
There aren't that many places for him to stay. It's already a huge favor that he's willing to take him in temporarily, considering that Yun Qiao has a grudge against him.
Qin Lang was still a little unconvinced, "Then can't you untie me?"
Yun Qiao frowned, "No, what if that pervert Qin Xiangchi comes out tonight?"
Just to be on the safe side, let's keep it on and deal with things during the day.
Yun Qiao felt relieved after securing the person, but today's perfectly good day was ruined.
Looking at the God of Wealth, she didn't know where to begin.
She had only told Yue Shan about these things. As time went on, she no longer had the desire to mention or confide in him. Thinking about it more would only make her feel bad. She deliberately tried not to recall them, but she did not hide anything in her daily life. The God of Wealth probably knew that there was something unusual about her.
After Qin Lang's long explanation, the God of Wealth should understand what happened.
But he didn't interfere with her at all tonight; instead, he took care of her as well, which made Yun Qiao feel a little guilty.
“He was once from my hometown. I have no feelings for him, but as you can see from the current situation, I can’t let him go out to his death with Qin Xiangchi’s face on my back.”
Upon hearing this, the God of Wealth reassured him, "Yes, I know."
He could tell that Yun Qiao disliked Qin Lang a bit. Whether it was her suppressed laughter at the dinner table or her disdainful arrangement of him into the storage room, she had no intention of taking care of him except for wanting to save his life.
He wasn't worried, but he was a little annoyed that his good day had been ruined. However, it was all because of Qin Lang, and besides, that person liked Yun Qiao.
However, his displeasure was not outwardly apparent to Yun Qiao.
Looking at Yun Qiao now, he felt a little awkward bringing up the old topic again, "What were you going to get just now?"
He knew this, but didn't want to disrupt her plans; however, he was inevitably a little impatient.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qiao remembered her important business. All of this had been disrupted by this chaotic accident, and she blushed with embarrassment at being asked the question.
She was a little conflicted. Should she reschedule for another day? Today's place was almost completely ruined.
The God of Wealth saw this and naturally understood her intention to back down. He sighed and was about to say something to her when suddenly his ears twitched and he solemnly shielded her behind him.
The next second, a dark figure flew in from outside.
Yun Qiao was initially worried when she saw the God of Wealth suddenly become serious, but she was stunned for a moment after seeing who it was.
Yueshan?
Is today some kind of auspicious day that everyone is here at once?
Yue Shan ignored everyone else and entered with a wronged expression, "Madam."
He had been searching for her for far too long, and he wouldn't have been able to follow the trail here if he hadn't accidentally discovered Qin Xiangchi's whereabouts.
Since he was already there, he saw Qin Xiangchi mingling with the beggars, so he didn't bother with him for the time being. Instead, he went to look for Yun Qiao in the vicinity. However, when he returned that night, he found that Qin Xiangchi was no longer among the group of people, so he immediately set off to look for him.
He never expected to meet Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao felt a little sad when she saw Yue Shan; it had really been a long time since they last met.
The God of Wealth shielded Yun Qiao behind him, preventing Yue Shan from reaching out to hug her.
Yue Shan looked at the stranger with a sharp gaze, suppressing the urge to draw his sword.
The two faced off, and Yue Shan stopped looking at him and continued to look at Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao tugged at the God of Wealth's sleeve and stepped out from behind him.
"Yue...Yue Shan, what brings you here?"
Although she was concerned, the current situation seemed complicated no matter how she looked at it.
Yue Shan was still unaware of the situation, but when she asked him a question, he couldn't help but step forward and hug her.
"Madam, I've finally found you. I've missed you so much."
Yun Qiao gently nudged him to let go, then glanced cautiously at the God of Wealth beside her, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
An ex? Or a current partner with whom you haven't even had a chance to express your feelings?
Too complicated.
Seeing Yue Shan loosen his grip and his eyes red from crying, Yun Qiao felt a little guilty.
"How...how are you doing these days?"
Yue Shan was completely unaware. "The prince is now the emperor, and you, madam, have not returned. He sent people to look for you, but there has been no news. So I came out to look for you myself."
Yun Qiao felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. Yue Shan probably didn't know Qin Xiangming's thoughts. Although she had asked the God of Wealth to say that they were breaking up and even paid a breakup fee, she later made a vague promise to him that she would go back when things calmed down in order to put his mind at ease.
Looking back now, Yue Shan was Qin Xiangming's man. He probably knew that a rebellion would happen sooner or later, and that things would definitely calm down. He knew she would go back once she found out, so he didn't stop her. Instead, for her safety, he let her go out and hide for a while, so she wouldn't be in this dangerous place.
But she had no plans to go back at all.
Seeing Yun Qiao with her head down and not very affectionate towards him, Yue Shan felt a little nervous and guilty.
"Madam, I didn't mean to hide the fact that the Prince was pretending to be stupid from you. Please don't be angry, okay?"
The whole world knows that the silly prince rebelled and became emperor. Yun Qiao must also know that he was hiding it from her, so that's probably why she's angry with him and won't go back.
