The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 344 - 340: Didn’t You Say You Wouldn’t Use Immortal Technique?

Chapter 344: Chapter 340: Didn’t You Say You Wouldn’t Use Immortal Technique?

Zhou Ludong left and headed towards the back mountain.

Yan Jiaojiao and Ruo Xuan came out together and saw a corner of clothing at the turn.

"Is that Big Brother Zhou?" Yan Jiaojiao asked Ruo Xuan.

"Mm."

Yan Jiaojiao was surprised, "Didn’t he go to change his clothes? That direction leads to the waterfall on the back mountain."

Ruo Xuan said, "Maybe he went to the waterfall to wash his clothes. Let’s go wash our clothes too, and wash my face—it’s too hot."

Yan Jiaojiao: "..."

Xuanbao’s way of thinking was indeed different from others.

Which woman would wash clothes and wash her face outside!

However, Yan Jiaojiao still followed her.

She did not need to change her clothes; she was just worried about Xuanbao going to change alone.

They both then walked towards the back mountain.

Zhou Ludong arrived at the back mountain.

The Tan mother and daughter were already waiting by the waterfall.

When Tan Xiangxiang saw him, she stepped forward with a gentle voice, "My husband."

Just as Yan Jiaojiao was about to step forward, she stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, squatted down with Ruo Xuan, and was overwhelmed by shock.

Yan Jiaojiao had martial skills and knew how to hide; Ruo Xuan was even more adept at it. Unless she wanted to be discovered, no one would be able to detect her presence, so Zhou Ludong had no idea they had followed him.

Zhou Ludong’s lips were tightly pursed, his eyes filled with endless coldness: "I am not your husband, do not call me that recklessly!"

From her vantage point, Tan’s mother could see a flash of emerald green clothing flitting by.

Her eyes flickered, and she said indignantly, "You and Xiangxiang have already been married; how can you say you’re not her husband now?"

Zhou Ludong said callously, "The one who married her was a rooster; her husband is a rooster, not me. You really are bold, daring to come to the Capital City. Do you really think I won’t kill you?"

Tan Xiangxiang bit her lower lip, looking at him as if deeply wronged, "Then kill me!"

Tan’s mother spoke as though her heart had been deeply wounded, "Zhou Lang, I know our status is low, and we cannot match up to you. You are the Great General, we are just commoners. Even though we’ve saved you, you’re right, that grace is now nullified. It’s not that we are clinging to you. Xiangxiang is already carrying your child, and if it weren’t for her bearing your flesh and blood, we wouldn’t have come to the Capital City to find you."

Zhou Ludong immediately denied it upon hearing this: "Impossible!"

He had always been unconscious; how could Tan Xiangxiang be pregnant when he had done nothing while awake?

Tan’s mother looked at him with certainty, "Impossible? Do you really think it’s impossible? Do you truly have no recollection of what you did that night two months ago? Whether Xiangxiang carries your child can be confirmed by a physician’s diagnosis. Would we use such a fragile lie to deceive you?"

Zhou Ludong fell silent for a moment; that night two months ago, he had a dream, but it was just a dream, and the woman in the dream was Jiaojiao.

Even though he was unconscious, he still had a bit of consciousness, and he was certain it had been a dream!

This mother and daughter with venomous hearts must be deceiving him!

Zhou Ludong: "What did I do? I did nothing! Don’t think of pinning the bastard child she’s carrying on me; I’ve done nothing!"

"We saved your life, and Xiangxiang cared for you while you were unconscious. Her reputation and innocence have been destroyed by you. Now that you’re awake, you refuse to marry her—are you even human? Do you believe that if word of your actions spreads, no one in Xuanyuan Country would dare marry you?"

Zhou Ludong: "You saved me? Did you save me, or did you harm me? Don’t act like I don’t know what you’ve done to me! Stop pretending you’re something you’re not, charlatans! Get out! Or else I’ll kill you both!"

Tan Xiangxiang: "Husband, I know you have someone you love, is it that woman you were seeking divine signs for just now at the temple? Do you know why my mother and I didn’t acknowledge you earlier? It’s because I didn’t want to disturb you, I didn’t want that woman to misunderstand you. I didn’t come to the Capital City to pester you, but truly because I’m carrying your child. I thought you would want the child, which is why I came. Since you don’t want the child, then I’ll leave. I can raise the child on my own."

Yan Jiaojiao couldn’t stand it anymore and burst out: "Zhou Ludong, let’s call off our engagement!"

Ruo Xuan followed calmly.

Zhou Ludong looked at Yan Jiaojiao in a panic: "Jiaojiao, no, listen to my explanation."

Yan Jiaojiao angrily said: "You don’t need to explain, didn’t I hear everything? Ungrateful wretch, seducer who abandons, cowardly to accept what you’ve done—I won’t marry a man like you! Break off the engagement!"

"No, it’s not what you heard, listen to my explanation! Not a single word that mother and daughter said was true, they must have known you were coming and deliberately said those things!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Yan Jiaojiao: "You didn’t even know I was coming, how could they, mere weak women, know of my arrival and then deliberately say those words for me to hear?"

Zhou Ludong, "..."

Tan Xiangxiang lowered her head, her lips curving slightly, and quickly straightened again.

In a flustered manner, she said: "Miss, don’t misunderstand, I had no intention of disrupting your engagement with Young Master Zhou. It’s just that I..."

She touched her abdomen, her face showing difficulty in speaking.

Tan’s mother looked at her daughter with a pained expression and then at Yan Jiaojiao: "Miss, don’t misunderstand, Young Master Zhou has done you no wrong. My daughter is pregnant by accident; we only want to give birth to the child and hand it over to General Zhou, then we’ll leave. We won’t come to the Capital again; we won’t disturb you two! It’s just that the frontier is too harsh and war-ridden, we fear we cannot keep the child alive. Otherwise, we definitely wouldn’t have come to the Capital."

Zhou Ludong was so angry he could kill: "Nonsense! Shut your mouths!"

Yan Jiaojiao angrily said: "You shut up!"

Zhou Ludong looked at Yan Jiaojiao, urgently saying: "Jiaojiao, you’ve known me since we were children. Don’t you know the kind of person I am? I never lie, and I am bold enough to take responsibility! Why don’t you believe me? What will it take for you to trust me?"

Yan Jiaojiao: "Seeing is believing, hearing is the truth. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, who knows if you’ve changed? This engagement is over! Xuanbao, let’s go!"

Yan Jiaojiao took Ruo Xuan’s hand and started to leave.

Ruo Xuan didn’t move, looking at Zhou Ludong: "You swear! Swear that if you’ve told even one lie, may lightning strike you down! Then Jiaojiao will believe you! Do you dare?"

Zhou Ludong immediately said, "Of course I dare!"

Tan Xiangxiang’s mouth twitched—what kind of idiot believes in oaths?

Ruo Xuan then looked at Tan’s mother: "Didn’t you just say that the gods are watching from above, and one must not be ungrateful or vengeful, else they will meet a terrible end and be struck by lightning. Do you dare to swear that you haven’t lied?"

Tan’s mother would swear three times a day, if not more—at least three hundred and sixty-five times a year, every day!

How could she not dare?

"Of course I dare!"

Ruo Xuan: "Then both of you swear!"

Xuanyuan Que had been paying attention to this drama and, hearing her words, transmitted to her: "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t use Immortal Technique?"

Ruo Xuan replied: "Right! I wasn’t planning to use it, so please, Xuanyuan brother, notify the Lord above for me."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."
