Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2319: Chapter 2318: The Helpless Merfolk

Sure enough, after a while, a guard came and said to Luo Family, ”Get up, come with me. Fang Qing wants to see you.”

Luo Family suddenly became spirited, jumping up from the stool, eyes shining with light, ”Where is he now? Is he alright?”

The guard was startled by his demeanor and took a step back, displeased, ”You can see for yourself. Why all the unnecessary questions? Hurry up and go!”

Luo Family quickly followed the guard, and soon the two arrived at a small house in the backyard. The guard opened the door and said, ”Fang Qing is inside. He refuses to eat, so the chief wants him to meet you.”

Luo Family rushed into the room nervously. Fang Qing was injured, and if he didn’t eat, how could the wound heal? What if it left a permanent ailment?

Unexpectedly, when she rushed into the room, there was no Fang Qing inside, only three Yueqiu Clan members staring at her with gleaming eyes.

Luo Family immediately realized something was wrong, knowing she had been deceived. She hurriedly turned to run out, only to find the door locked from the outside.

She couldn’t get out, desperately pounding the door and shouting, ”Help! Help! Don’t come near me! Fang Qing will certainly not spare you!”

But the three men approached her, reaching out to touch her body and face...

”Get away! If you dare touch me, I will die here! By then, your chief definitely won’t spare you,” Luo Family shouted angrily.

One of them smirked grimly, ”Tell our chief? Do you really think the chief will punish us for you? Would we dare do such a thing without the chief’s consent? Such a foolish woman.”

After that, the three men laughed aloud and pounced on Luo Family together.

Bai Ruozhu, already aware of what was happening outside the room, wanted to rush over and open the door to save Luo Family. Even though she knew her attempt was futile, she couldn’t help but want to help this pitiful woman.

But before she could reach the door, a wave of drowsiness hit her. She knew this scene was coming to an end, and she might be headed to another place.

Bai Ruozhu tried hard to stay alert; she might miss many details if she slept too long.

Soon, she opened her eyes again, finding that the surroundings had changed. It was a relatively exquisite room, followed by footsteps outside. Bai Ruozhu quickly hid in a nearby cabinet. Through the gap in the cabinet door, she could clearly see everything happening inside the room.

Fang Qing stormed in, followed closely by the Yueqiu Tribe chief.

He reached out to grab Fang Qing’s shoulder, saying, ”Listen to my explanation! It’s really not related to me. It was that woman who couldn’t bear the loneliness and seduced those three men. You’ve been deceived by her looks; she’s no good woman and not truly sincere to you, unlike me...”

Before the Yueqiu Tribe chief could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Qing’s roar, ”Get out! Get out! Don’t I know my wife’s character? You just want to force me away from her. Even if I can’t be with her, the person I love most in my life will always be her, and no other!”

The chief displayed a pained expression, asking, ”What if she were dead?”

Fang Qing sneered, ”If she were dead, I wouldn’t continue to live in this world either.”

The Yueqiu Tribe chief saw seriousness and determination in his eyes, and couldn’t help but shiver, knowing he couldn’t kill Luo Family; otherwise, Fang Qing would surely die before him.

Bai Ruozhu, hiding in the cabinet, could clearly see the expression on the Yueqiu Tribe chief’s face. She silently cursed him as despicable, stealing someone else’s man, having subordinates assault the woman, and now wanting to kill her?

At this moment, she finally saw Fang Qing’s appearance clearly, and he was indeed very handsome.

Bai Ruozhu’s mind stirred with a thought: no wonder their Achun was so handsome, with such a bewitching smile. It was because of the Merfolk Bloodline.

But the more Bai Ruozhu looked, the more she felt the Fang Qing before her differed somewhat from the one they had seen in reality; the real Fang Qing seemed lacking in such unparalleled charm.

Is it because the Fang Qing in reality wore makeup to make himself appear ordinary?

That’s possible; after all, his Merfolk appearance was too striking, not like an ordinary person at all.

The Merfolk Clan chief furiously looked at Fang Qing and said, ”You Zhongyuan people hold women’s chastity in such high regard, don’t you? She’s been with three men, and you can still accept her? How can you still have lingering thoughts about her?”

Fang Qing sneered, ”You don’t understand feelings at all. Would you understand if I told you? Don’t think I don’t know you used despicable methods to humiliate her, hoping I’d detest her. But she is the woman I love most in this life. If you want me to forget her, let her leave. Over time, I might slowly forget her. But if she suffers any harm, I will follow her, for she doesn’t want to live anymore, and neither do I.”

Fang Qing’s eyes showed humiliation as he spoke; as a proud Merfolk and a man, how helpless to have to threaten others with his life!

Bai Ruozhu looked carefully and found he wasn’t poisoned, but his inner strength was stagnant, likely restricted by some method, so he couldn’t escape, nor could he protect his wife.

The Yueqiu Tribe chief shouted angrily, ”Fang Qing, remember, the person who loves you most in this world is always me! Those women care only about your looks, but what have I done for you? I can cede land and pay reparations, I can disregard my people, all I want is you!”

Fang Qing nearly retched, ”I’m a man and will never like men in this life. No matter how passionate you are, it has nothing to do with me.”

”You, you, you...” the Yueqiu Tribe chief pointed at him, enraged to the point of a red face and slightly trembling hands. Yet, he didn’t let his anger burst out; he couldn’t bring himself to be angry with Fang Qing and only waved his sleeve and left.

After he left, Fang Qing shut the door, sat plummeting on the bed, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost all vitality. Suddenly, he covered his face and began to sob bitterly.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart grew sour with him. Such a seemingly indomitable man, such an exalted Merfolk, at this moment, was helplessly crying in pain; Luo Family’s matter nearly collapsed his will.

If they hadn’t fallen for Ma Tongfang’s scheme, defenseless against him and got ambushed, perhaps he wouldn’t have fallen to such a state, and his wife Luo Family wouldn’t have been subjected to three Yueqiu men’s assault.

A man’s crying differs from a woman’s, suppressed and painful, but it soon subsided.
