Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 576: Chapter 578 Where are we going in a while? While everyone was eating, Acheng had finished making arrangements and returned. Wang Xiangxiang saw him and waved, ”Acheng, come and have some more to eat.”

As Acheng approached, before he could respond, he heard the coughing sounds of Chu Lian, ”Ahem! Ahem!”

Acheng looked towards his young master, immediately understood, and said, ”Thank you, miss, no need, Acheng has already eaten.”

Chu Lian was satisfied with Acheng’s response, and said to him, ”You go and prepare the carriage, we’ll leave as soon as we finish eating.”

”Alright.” Acheng agreed and then went outside to harness the carriage. He felt a bit uncomfortable inside as his young master was now offering his food to this Miss Wang.

After Acheng left, Wang Xiangxiang asked in confusion, ”Where are we going later?”

”To my estate here.”

Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes widened, and she turned to Xiaoxiao, hoping Xiaoxiao could explain what was happening. Why were they suddenly going to his family estate?

Xiaoxiao, being resourceful, concocted a lie on the spot, ”Sister, I don’t think this inn is good. It’s not comfortable to stay in. Since Young Master Chu mentioned that his family has an estate here, let’s just go.”

Wang Xiangxiang’s expression turned somewhat sour; her mood was a bit downcast. So it was Xiaoxiao who disliked the place, and Chu Lian wanted to make her stay more comfortable.

Xiaoxiao had no idea that Chu Lian used to like her, thinking her excuse was a good one, she continued, ”Besides, if we have a free place to stay, who would want to spend silver? Moreover, we might not even stay many days, so let’s save where we can.”

”Alright, then let’s go.” Wang Xiangxiang said with a bitter smile. She knew she had no right to be jealous.

Chu Lian knew about Wang Xiangxiang’s appetite, and seeing that she indeed had eaten quite a bit today, he also felt relieved.

So everyone went back to their rooms to gather their belongings and then boarded the carriage to Chu Lian’s estate.

They arrived at the Chu Mansion before long. The estate was not big, just a temporary residence, but the interior was tastefully decorated, and several servants were managing the courtyard. On seeing their young master, the servants hurriedly helped with the arrangements and heated the chambers and water for washing up.

Since it was late, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao lay down, and just when they were about to be affectionate, they heard a knock on the door.

”Who is it?” Yang Ming asked.

Chu Lian felt somewhat embarrassed, coming to disturb them so late, he said in a low voice, ”It’s me.”

As soon as they heard it was Chu Lian, Yang Ming quickly got up and opened the door, ”Big Brother Chu, what’s the matter?”

Chu Lian found it hard to speak up, but he couldn’t help but ask, ”Yang Ming, I’m worried she might get scared by herself. Could you let your wife stay with her for a few nights?”

After Chu Lian lay down, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Even though it was his own house, the thought of her being alone in the room where she could encounter a bad person made him worried. After much deliberation, he decided to seek help from Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao.

Yang Ming was at a loss for words. This meant his wife would sleep with Wang Xiangxiang instead of him; he felt a bit reluctant but then heard his wife’s voice, ”Young Master Chu, don’t worry, I’ll stay with her for the next few days.”

Hearing Xiaoxiao agree, Chu Lian’s eyes brightened, ”Thank you, then I’ll be leaving first.”

”Alright, I’ll get ready and go over in a bit.”

After Chu Lian left, Yang Ming closed the door and hugged his wife with a pitiable expression, ”Wife.”

”Alright now, we’re at someone else’s place, as if we could do much anyway.”
