Tan Xianer glared at Zhu Chuanwen and kept asking why.
Zhu Chuanwen told him what had happened with a bitter face.
It turned out that Zhu Kaishan's wife and three sons had come all the way to the outside of the pass and reunited with Zhu Kaishan. Zhu Kaishan's wife had told him that his daughter-in-law, Tan Xian 'er, had gone missing. Zhu Kaishan had a lot of connections here, so he immediately mobilized many people to look for her.
The heavens paid off. They didn't find any news about Tan Xian 'er, but they found traces of the bandit leader. The bandit leader didn't dare to go to the big city with the sapphire necklace. He came straight to the east of the country. When he was selling the necklace in Ha City, he was seen by a group of bandits. They planned to take advantage of him. The bandit leader saw that things weren't good and left Ha City overnight. The bandits chased after him relentlessly. In the end, they shot the bandit leader with a gun.
The bandit leader was also ruthless. He escaped from the encirclement with a gunshot wound.
Later, he fainted on the snow and was rescued by a kind-hearted person. This person happened to be one of the people Zhu Kaishan entrusted to look for. When he found the sapphire necklace in the bandit leader's hand, he became suspicious. He took advantage of the bandit leader's coma to call Zhu Kaishan's family over.
Zhu Chuanwen recognized the bandit leader at a glance. He shook the bandit leader and asked about Tan Xianer's whereabouts. The bandit leader was already close to death, but after shaking him, he only had one mouthful left. He barely said that Tan Xianer was dead and died.
The bandit leader saw Tan Xian 'er's face covered in blood and thought that Tan Xian' er was dead. He was telling the truth.
However, Zhu Chuanwen and the others knew that Tan Xianer was not dead. She was just missing. The problem was that the bandit leader died too quickly and did not have time to explain. Therefore, Zhu Chuanwen and the others misunderstood.
Zhu Chuanwen knew that Tan Xianer was dead and had been depressed.
Zhu Kaishan and his wife looked distressed. After discussing it, they couldn't go on like this, so they simply asked someone to arrange another marriage for Zhu Chuanwen. It just so happened that the Wen family had come to this place in distress and needed to find someone to rely on. This marriage was completed at the speed of light.
They hadn't even been married for a month and Tan Xian 'er had returned. This was simply a trick of fate!
Tan Xian 'er's face turned bitter when she heard that. Why was my life so bitter?
Bian Qiang knew what happened to Tan Xian 'er after that. She had been forced to enter the eastern part of the country, be married as a child bride, join a troupe, elope, be raped, go up the mountain, go down the river, become a bandit, and resist the Japanese. She had even committed suicide, which was the real hardship. Now, this was just child's play. It could be said that because of Bian Qiang, a part of Tan Xian' er's fate had been changed.
After all, this was the Japanese's territory, so Bian Qiang didn't want to stay any longer. He winked at Meng Xiaodong and the other girls, who understood and pulled Tan Xian 'er to the side."Xian 'er, tell us what you think.”
Tan Xian 'er shook her head." My heart is in a mess. I'm not thinking about anything, and I'm thinking about everything."”
"Then, are you still willing to be with Zhu Chuanwen?”
"... He's already married..."
"It's okay to get married. To be honest, there are many women in this society…"
" Sister, look at what you're saying. Those who can have three wives and four concubines are all rich people. Brother Chuanwen's family doesn't have money.”
" I know that the Zhu family is poor, but your brother-in-law is rich. If you and Zhu Chuanwen really like each other, your brother-in-law will love you and your family. He will definitely not mistreat the Zhu family. Just a little bit will make the Zhu family rich. If you suffer now, Zhu Chuanwen will treat you better in the future."”
"I, my heart is in a mess. Let me think.”
……
When the girls were talking, they didn't realize that Wen was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping. Hearing the meaning in Tan Xian 'er's words, her face turned pale.
Tan Xian 'er's heart was in a mess. She left the Zhu family and walked aimlessly.
Unknowingly, they walked into a forest. Suddenly, the man came out from behind a tree and knelt on the ground, crying,""Xian 'er, I'm sorry, but I'm already pregnant with Brother Chuanwen's child. I can't leave him. Please be magnanimous and leave this place…"
Zhu Chuanwen had no other choice. If Tan Xian 'er really married into the family, with Zhu Chuanwen and Tan Xian' er's past relationship, he would be sidelined. If he was in the palace, he would be banished to the cold palace. As a Ge Ge, she had heard from her father about the miserable life of a concubine living in the cold palace. She would rather die than do that.
……
In the evening, Zhu Kaishan's family cooked a table of wild game to entertain Bian Qiang and the others. After the meal, there was nothing much to do. It was cold outside the Pass, so Bian Qiang and the women went back to the house to chat.
Just as they were chatting happily, the door was pushed open with a bang. Tan Xian 'er rushed in and closed the door.
Damn it, Bian Qiang, Meng Xiaodong, and Xia Yushu were shocked and froze there.
It was only when Tan Xian 'er walked over that Bian Qiang and the others came to their senses. Meng Xiaodong couldn't care less about anything else and immediately went to stop her."Sister, what are you doing? Didn't we agree…"
"Sister, don't say anymore. If you still treat me as your sister, then don't bother. Brother Bian, I like you.”
After Tan Xian 'er finished speaking with Meng Xiaodong, she walked around Meng Xiaodong and walked towards Bian Qiang.
"…Cough cough, Xian 'er, you like me? That's not bad, but shouldn't you consider it?”
Bian Qiang rolled his eyes. It was obvious that he was using him to take revenge on Zhu Chuanwen and vent his emotions. If he had not been in contact with women before, he might have been seduced. Now that he had experienced many women, he could calmly think and make the decision that was most beneficial to him.
Tan Xian 'er had done such a bold thing and had been provoked by Wen. She ran in with a dash of spirit, but was first stopped by Meng Xiaodong, and then by Bian Qiang. As the saying goes, if you work hard, you'll be exhausted. Tan Xian 'er lost her spirit and ran to a corner with a red face.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bian Qiang, Xia Yushu, and Meng Xiaodong also hurriedly looked at each other, communicating with their eyes at the same time.
"Master, do you want to take my sister Xian 'er in?”
"Is there a need? Old Master is not happy. He even gave her a servant girl, so he probably had his eyes on her long ago.”
"Nonsense. If I wanted Xian 'er, Zhu Chuanwen and Xian' er wouldn't have been able to get married at all. I would have married them long ago.”
"Alright, we said the wrong thing. Speaking of which, Xian 'er has said it out loud. Moreover, you know that it's not suitable for you to marry someone else.”
"As for you guys, you can ask Xian 'er first.”
……
With this exchange, Meng Xiaodong and Xia Yushu understood that Bian Qiang had tacitly agreed. They walked over and went to another room with Tan Xian 'er. After a round of questioning, they mainly hoped to get Tan Xian' er's true thoughts.
Tan Xian 'er had indeed been provoked by the article, but this also showed that she liked Bian Qiang.
In fact, there was no woman who would not like someone as rich, powerful, and good-looking as Bian Qiang. Especially Tan Xian 'er, who had lived in the Prince's mansion for a period of time. The life she had lived was completely unimaginable. It was impossible to say that she did not miss him at all.
In the end, beautiful women were also ordinary people. There was nothing wrong with yearning for a better life.
Tan Xianer was not bad. She relied on her relationship with Zhu Chuanwen to resist all of this. However, when she came to the outside of the pass and saw the cruel truth, she realized that everything she had endured in the past was meaningless.
