Chapter 2669: Mission 55
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Ms. Wang isn’t willing either, and she continues to belittle our family. I really don’t understand what goes on in their heads. They lack intelligence and don’t know how to distinguish right from wrong,” scolded Jiang Caixiu’s mother angrily, as if venting her frustration could somehow diminish her sense of failure.
However, she couldn’t change the fact that Ms. Wang looked down on her. After all, she was the one who sought her out first, weakening her position.
Jiang Caixiu sighed, her expression reflecting displeasure. If Ms. Wang wasn’t willing to help, what could he do? His confidence in the upcoming examination had dwindled, and the prospect of failure loomed large. Desperate for a shortcut, he contemplated the consequences of becoming an aged Elementary Scholar who might end up teaching in the village—a fate he found undesirable.
The more Jiang Caixiu pondered, the more aggrieved she felt.
“Mother, if Yan Danqiu is unwilling, it’s okay. I’ll return to the city in two days. I also know the county magistrate’s daughter. If she’s willing to acknowledge me, I’d be much better off than with Yan Danqiu,” declared Jiang Caixiu, not succumbing to dejection but allowing his fighting spirit to rise.
He harbored a determination to make Yan Danqiu pay the price if he succeeded.
Almost fully recovered from her injuries, Jiang Caixiu set off for the city.
In the city, he went unnoticed, with most people occupied with their own affairs. The Yan family, focused on completing their wall, paid little attention to him.
As the Yan family’s wall approached completion, plans were underway to turn over the medicinal fields and initiate planting. Gu Chaoyan diligently irrigated the soil with holy water during the dark hours, a routine she had followed in recent days.
Before commencing with the planting, Gu Chaoyan invited two tall guards to oversee the process. Auntie Lianhua took charge of planting the herbs, accompanied by a few other honest aunts. However, Gu Chaoyan refrained from actively participating.
As the plants found their places in the soil, Gu Chaoyan organized the necessary arrangements, signaling that her mission was nearly complete. Toward the end, the atmosphere carried a sense of simplicity.
On the day when all the herbs were planted, an auntie returned from outside with gossip in tow. “Do you know what happened to the Jiang family?”
Auntie Lianhua, intrigued, inquired further, “What happened?”
“He apparently harassed the maidservant of the county magistrate’s miss and got beaten up. The county magistrate locked him up, and he won’t be out for at least three months. It’s said that Jiang Caixiu tried to deceive the county magistrate’s lady but mistook her for someone else. Despite her resistance, he forcibly engaged in inappropriate behavior, leading to his current predicament.”
“…”
“You’re telling me he couldn’t even identify the main character when attempting deception. Truly amusing,” commented Auntie Lianhua.
“Heaven will punish those who are foolish,” added the gossiping auntie, expressing her disdain for Jiang Caixiu.
Auntie Lianhua couldn’t help but chuckle. “Back then, he met someone as good as Third Yan, and he assumed everyone was as honest. He got what he deserved. If he hadn’t overreached himself, things would be much better now.”
It was a blessing to be able to marry Danqiu. She didn’t even dare to dream of having such a daughter-in-law. She was good, but the Jiang family didn’t cherish her at all. That was really unlucky for them.
While they were talking enthusiastically.
There was a violent banging on the door outside.
