Chapter 157: Did This Man Beat Me to It?
Coincidentally, the men on duty arrived in time to witness Aunt Wang leading a group of strangers up the mountain.
“Oh no!” They were shocked.
Everyone in the An Clan Village knew Aunt Wang wanted to sell An Jiuyue’s son.
“Is Aunt Wang, that vicious woman, targeting Jiuyue’s child again?”
The two guards exchanged glances and found the confirmation in each other’s eyes. They cursed Old An and his family in their hearts.
“Ju Zi, you guard the village entrance, and I’ll go to the Chief and the Junior Officer. Jiuyue is our village’s benefactor. We can’t let her be bullied!”
“Alright. Go quickly.” Ju Zi nodded and added, “Get the Chief and the Junior Officer to round up a few more people.”
If it weren’t for the fact that guarding the village entrance was also very important, he would have followed him. He really wanted to go and beat her up to vent his anger.
Aunt Wang is so shameless! I don’t understand. If you want to sell children for money, you should sell your own children. Why are you selling other people’s children?
How can you be so unreasonable? I’ve met bastards, but I’ve never seen someone so despicable! How can she sell other people’s children as if they’re hers?
…
Unaffected by Aunt Wang’s family, An Jiuyue wanted to sleep in.
Qian Jiyun and the others were taking care of the children. Next to her, Lu’er was surprisingly obedient and sleeping with her. She really wanted to sleep a little longer.
However, someone had to disrupt her dreams.
Aunt Wang arrived with a group of people early in the morning. It was clear—she was here to snatch Zheng’er away.
In truth, Ministry Councilor He knew that buying An Jiuyue’s child and using abuse as a threat to pressure An Jiuyue into becoming his wife was impossible.
Hence, he decided to use this opportunity to kidnap An Jiuyue.
The epidemic is serious now, and the village’s population is decreasing every day. An Jiuyue’s disappearance will be nothing.
At most, everyone will think she contracted the epidemic disease and ran away because she was afraid she’ll be caught. Nobody will search for An Jiuyue either.
He thought he had a good plan.
But when he arrived at An Jiuyue’s treehouse and saw a man chopping firewood with an axe, he was stunned.
“What’s going on?” He turned to look at Aunt Wang with anger in his eyes.
Hasn’t she been raising two children on her own? It hasn’t even been long! Why is there a man here now?
Did I come too late? Did this man beat me to it? Damn it!
“I… I don’t know.”
Aunt Wang genuinely did not know. She was even more dumbfounded than him.
When did Qian Jiyun arrive? Why did I not know this? This man is not someone to be trifled with! I might die if I provoke him!
Ministry Councilor He gritted his teeth and snorted. “Hmph!”
So what if An Jiuyue has another man with her? I brought many people today. We can deal with one person easily.
How dare he snatch my woman? Dream on! I’ll make sure this man won’t be able to get up!
As for An Jiuyue, how dare that b*tch seduce another man behind my back? I’ll teach her a lesson after I capture her!
