The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

After dressing the two children, Ming Liu and Mingcui had already brought water for washing up.

Mingcui came over to look at Yangyang’s face, "The young master’s face seems to have improved a lot compared to yesterday."

"The swelling has reduced somewhat. The medicine we used is from Divine Doctor Mu, so how could it not work quickly?" However, although the swelling had subsided a bit, one side of his face was still red and swollen. Fortunately, the doctor yesterday said that it would be fine as long as the swelling went down. If there had been other issues, she reckoned she could have killed that woman in a fit of rage.

Well, she didn’t know yet that there was no need for her to strike; that woman had already been beaten miserably.

That woman had woken up early in the morning to find herself in a strange place, not only that, she was also on a strange bed, with a strange man beside her.

She screamed instantly! Of course, if she had only screamed, nothing would have happened, but the problem was that she cursed the widower blacksmith as a husband who causes his wife’s death and called him ugly, she even insulted his mother.

This provoked the widower, and his violent temper flared up.

He told himself this was his own woman, and it was already unacceptable that she refused to serve his mother, insulted him, and even dared to insult his mother and push her, which was truly seeking death. Enraged, he beat the plump girl until her face appeared even more swollen than before.

By the time her aunt’s family found her, she had been beaten to the point where she couldn’t get up.

Seeing she was now involved with the widower, her aunt’s family quickly settled some silver and a dowry and married her off to him.

"Madam, someone from Capital City has sent a letter!" At this moment, Yang Chuxia was dining with the two children.

"Oh? Please invite them in."

Yang Chuxia entrusted the children to the Ming sisters and went to the front yard.

The messenger was sent by Old Mu, bringing two letters and some gifts.

Yang Chuxia had the messenger settle down first before taking the letters to the harem. One of them was for Linyu, so she asked Mingcui to deliver it to Linyu, who had recently taken a liking to painting and was reluctant to go out every day, to the point of even refusing to visit Linshan Temple yesterday.

However, when Yang Chuxia opened her letter, she was startled. Old Mu’s letter revealed that Mu Shaoling had been missing at sea but was found last month, and the Commandery Princess Dongyang was also found.

When Ye Zi’an returned in the evening and read the letter, he got the shock of his life.

"Lucky that they were found," he said.

Ye Zi’an agreed deeply, "Indeed, it’s luck that they survived the violent storm and those strange creatures. By the way," he suddenly asked, "now that they have returned from their sea voyage, should we send gifts to Capital City?"

"Send gifts? What gifts? It’s too early for the New Year’s gifts. Sending them in October wouldn’t be too late." Yang Chuxia didn’t immediately understand what Ye Zi’an was referring to.

Then she heard Ye Zi’an explain further, "I’m not talking about New Year’s gifts, but the congratulatory gifts for Mu Shaoling and Commandery Princess Dongyang’s marriage. Weren’t they supposed to get married in May? Then this whole incident occurred. Now that they’ve been rescued, I assume the marriage will proceed as planned. Uncle’s letter doesn’t mention any date either."

With that said, Yang Chuxia also thought about it.

But why hadn’t Old Mu mentioned anything about it?

"Do you think there might be some changes? Why didn’t Uncle mention anything about it? He didn’t even provide a date, and sending our congratulatory gifts too late or too early would be inauspicious." Of course, the most important concern was what if there had been changes to the situation.
