Having exchanged only a few words, without even knowing her real name, the women placed their complete trust in her and handed over Chen Xiucai without hesitation.
Chen Xiucai, a scholar with a frail constitution, had expected to be treated harshly. However, when Sang Qingxiao looked at him, she found that he was adapting quite well. The women even praised him with complex expressions, saying he was good at embroidery and had decent cooking skills, and that he hardly ever got beaten.
Sang Qingxiao thought for a moment and realized the reason behind it; he must be the weaker one in this situation. After glancing back at Xiao Ye, she left.
Once outside the residence, Chen Xiucai was overwhelmed with joy and tears. He was timid and had stood far away earlier, so he hadn’t heard the conversation between Sang Qingxiao and the women. At that moment, he still believed that it was his mother’s hired help who had come to rescue him.
How are my parents? They must be heartbroken these days! My father probably hasn’t had time to look for a concubine, and my mother must be crying every day. Thankfully, I am good at enduring; that’s why I can see the light of day again.
After lamenting about his mother for a while, Chen Xiucai's face turned angry as he exclaimed that those women were truly despicable—how could they beat and scold men like that? It was an utter disgrace! How dare they have such audacity to commit such heinous acts!
Once I get home, I will definitely file a complaint against them at the government office. I swear I won’t rest until their heads roll!
After Chen Xiucai had exhausted his tirade of curses, Sang Qingxiao spoke up. “You’re lamenting for your mother and shouting about revenge. With just these two matters, you’ve been complaining for so long. But Chen Xiucai, why don’t you spare a thought for your wife?”
You were once mutually infatuated with each other during your newlywed bliss, but you were forced apart. Now that you’ve finally been rescued, you haven’t even expressed concern for Miss Zhang once. It seems the rumors in town are not true; you don’t seem to care for Zhang Linglong as much as they say.
“Uh…”
Sang Qingxiao continued, “Since your disappearance, your mother has blamed Miss Zhang and has been visiting her frequently to complain. Each time, Miss Zhang has endured it all with her head down while dragging her weak body out every day to search for you—she’s been more diligent than your mother.”
Tsk tsk, such deep feelings—moving heaven and earth—but it seems they haven’t touched you or your Chen family at all.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiucai took a long time before reluctantly muttering, “I left when I went back to visit.”
Sang Qingxiao countered, “But it was you who insisted on accompanying Miss Zhang back home! She tried to dissuade you in every way possible. But you wouldn’t listen; I heard you even devised a plan to sneak into the box.”
Clearly, this was self-inflicted; why push the blame onto others once you’re out?
Alas, poor Miss Zhang wasted her sincere feelings on someone unworthy.
“Scholar Zhang,” I just spoke with those women and learned why they have their eyes on you.
Actually, it was Miss Zhang who paid a hefty sum to find you. Right now, we need to take you to Zhang Residence first so that everything can be explained clearly to Miss Zhang.
Ha! Revenge? Chen Xiucai, perhaps you should first think about how to explain your male companion to Miss Zhang.
The mention of his alternative preferences made Chen Xiucai’s face flush instantly. “Y-you’re slandering me! How can those women’s words be trusted? They are just trying to evade responsibility by making up lies!”
