Chapter 340: Getting Rid of He Xiaohua
Ning Shu immediately realized why she had a bad feeling. Wen Ruhua was originally the male lead and was supposed to be involved with the female lead. However, he had ended up marrying He Xiaohua. Things had diverged too far from the original storyline.
In order to right the storyline, the storyline had to get rid of He Xiaohua, this wife. That was why right after she decided to leave, bandits ended up appearing in the middle of the night. Seriously.
It got crazy.
And it had been because of her.
“Yue Lan, hurry and hide. Forget it, Hidden Guard, take Yue Lan with you and hide. You guys can look for me later.” Ning Shu shoved her bundle into Yue Lan’s hands.
Yue Lan’s teeth was chattering as she took the bundle and hugged it tightly. She asked worriedly, “What about you, Miss? Miss, let’s just go together. These bandits are people that kill without blinking an eye.”
“Find a place to hide with your big brother hidden guard first. You miss has something to take care of first.” Ning Shu then turned to the hidden guard. “Take Yue Lan away from here, hurry.”
The hidden guard immediately grabbed Yue Lan and disappeared into the night.
Ning Shu took a deep breath, then headed towards the village chief’s house. She found a place nearby to hide. A group of people were blocking the entrance to the village chief’s house and one person was on horseback. He seemed to be the leader since the other small fries were all walking on foot.
Currently, the village chief’s family, which consisted of the village chief, He Dahua, He Xiaohua, and Wen Ruhua, had been captured.
He Dahua furrowed his caterpillar-like brows and said to the leader of the bandits, “Do you sirs have business here? All visitors are guests. Come in and have a cup of water!”
“You want to get rid of us with just a cup of water?” The bandit leader spoke with strong murderous intent.
He Dahua looked extremely afraid and answered compliantly, “Of course it’s not just a cup of water! It’s already so late, you guys must be tired. Good wine and side dishes will be prepared right away!”
“Wine and side dishes aren’t enough, there needs to be women too. This woman can serve me, now call the rest of the women in the village,” said the bandit leader arrogantly.
The village chief immediately refused. “Beast, you wish! If you want to touch the ladies in my village, it’d be over my dead body!”
“Damned old fart, I’ll make your daughter service me right now!” The bandit leader jumped off his horse and went to tear at He Xiaohua’s clothing.
He Xiaohua shrieked. Next to her, Wen Ruhua’s gaze flickered, then he shouted towards the bandit leader, “Wait.”
When Ning Shu saw Wen Ruhua speak, she thought that he was acting like a man for once and standing up to protect his woman.
“What do you want?” The bandit leader glanced towards Wen Ruhua. Wen Ruhua cupped his fist towards the bandit leader with the elegance of a scholar.
“What you guys desire must be wealth. I know where all the valuables in this house is hidden. I can bring you guys over, but you must let me join you guys. I’ve studied strategy before, I can become your strategic advisor.”
Wen Ruhua’s words stunned the members of the He family and Ning Shu.
“Alright, alright, our group welcomes everyone. In addition, you’re even a scholar, it’s perfect! From now on, you’re our advisor.” The bandit leader patted Wen Ruhua’s shoulder.
Wen Ruhua smiled, but his smile seemed cold and eerie. He picked up the sword on the ground and said to the bandit leader, “I have one request, I want to kill this woman with my own hands.”
Wen Ruhua’s voice, along with his entire body, was trembling as he stated this with a dark expression.
The members of the He family looked at Wen Ruhua in disbelief. He Dahua shielded He Xiaohua who looked to be in complete despair and said coldly, “Wen Ruhua, your parents educated you for nothing. Xiaohua is your wife, are you going to murder your own wife? You’re truly a heartless beast.”
“I’ve never acknowledged He Xiaohua to be my wife. The only reason I married her was because you guys forced me. I hate her, I hate her more than anything!” spat Wen Ruhua coldly. “Every time I have to sleep with her, I feel so disgusted that I want to vomit.”
