The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

465  Bonus Chapter Song Que (4)

A small portion was bought, but most of my collection comprised books confiscated from the homes of political opponents.

Without exception, they were all rare good books.

There were a few volumes that I liked very much. After reading and practicing copying the words numerous times, I was able to memorize them.

After I wrote down one of the books from memory, I told her to push me to the town and look for the shop owner of Cirrus Loft Bookstore, Mr. Wang.

Sure enough, Mr. Wang agreed to buy my book.

Although the price was not high, if I copied a few more books from memory, the total sum would be enough.

Now that the money to buy the courtyard house was secured, my first reaction was to share it with her.

Unfortunately, before she came to pick me up, I bumped into my former classmates from the Cirrus Loft Academy.

Among those three familiar faces, in my previous life, one died at the hands of the mountain bandits, one died in the army, and the last died at my hands.

When I recalled the scene on that day when he knelt in front of me and begged me to spare his life, saying that he regretted his actions, I felt that the memories were already very far away.

I realized that I didn't hate them as much as before.

However, they made things difficult for me and insulted me again, which still triggered my anger.

In particular, when they called her a demonic shrew, I was incensed.

Just as I was about to attack, she arrived.

She subdued them in a few moves and even forced them to apologize to me.

In fact, she even warned that they were not allowed to say anything about this matter between me and her to outsiders.

In order to preserve my dignity, she actually did this.

Thereafter, I didn't disappoint her, of course.

I personally acknowledged her relationship with me.

Then I saw her face turn red. She looked very cute.

On the way back, she was worried that I was hungry, so she gave me the buns she bought.

After eating one, I realized that she gave me the bun with meat filling while she ate the vegetarian one.

At that moment, I must admit.

That female ghost called Qin Xiaoyao truly moved me.

In the following days, I slowly began to show concern for her and gradually became closer to her.

I began thinking that perhaps, becoming a real husband and wife couple with her might not be impossible.

Soon after that, we bought a courtyard dwelling in the town.

After that, I began to follow her to town often.

I gave her instructions on how to set up the courtyard dwelling properly.

Thereafter, we started to stock up on food.

Following that, we moved to the town and began living there.

She was really better than my own hands and feet. Whatever I said, she would do accordingly.

The more I interacted with her, the more I realized that I couldn't leave her side.

It was not just because she listened to me and was capable.

It was also because she had such an affable nature that I found it hard not to love her.

She never avoided the fact that she liked me, nor did she hide the dark side of her personality.

When she wanted to scheme against people or make a move against them, she never hid her thoughts in front of me. Sometimes, she even brought up such issues to discuss with me.

In short, she was not a kind person.

In fact, she was not even a good person by the standards of the general populace.

Then again, she was a female ghost from hell and not a fairy from heaven. How could she be a good person?

As for me, in the first place, the one I liked was not a fairy but a female ghost, wasn't she?

How could I not love a female ghost whose eyes and heart were totally occupied by me, who was pure and kind to my family and the people around me, and yet was cold-blooded and ruthless to outsiders?

Thus, I no longer hid my admiration for her.

In fact, I even displayed both my good and bad sides to her without shame.

She was indeed a match made in heaven for me. She could understand the dark side of my human nature and even fully agreed with my thoughts.

After that, our life in the town was sweet and happy.

While I recuperated, I copied books and taught her and Ye'er how to read.

And she began to busy herself with making a living again.

She started selling straw sandals, century eggs, and then bean sprouts.

As long as we were diligent enough, the money we earned from these businesses was enough to feed our whole family.

However, she was the one doing everything.

I knew that she wanted to earn money to support my family.

She was indeed different from the women of this era.

Later on, the drought became even more serious, and the locust plague arrived.

As we had already made preparations in advance, we dealt with the disasters very calmly.

I thought that perhaps in this life, we would be able to survive those disasters safely.

However, when the war disaster came, something still happened to our family.

That day, she brought our goddaughter out to see the doctor. We were waiting at home.

In the end, the mountain bandits actually came to our door. They even discovered me.

In this life, I was dressed more decently than in the previous life, so it was even more impossible for me to escape from those people's demonic claws.

Soon, I was captured and brought to meet the bandit leader.

When I met the bandit leader I killed in my previous life, my heart turned cold and scared.

In my previous life, I had nothing, so I could go all out and fight with all my might.

However, in this life, I had my family and her. How could I still take the risk?

Nonetheless, it was impossible for me to submit to him.

Thus, I was once again thrown into the dungeon by the mountain bandits.

Just like in my previous life, I was locked up with just my thin inner clothes and left to freeze in the dungeon.

When I was locked up in the dungeon, my heart was very chaotic.

On the one hand, I hoped that she could come and save me. On the other hand, I was fearful that she would come and save me.

Even though she was very capable, Mountain Spring Town had already been occupied by the mountain bandits.

I was trapped in the mountain bandits' lair. I was worried that not only would she not be able to save me, but she would also be dragged down by me and fall into danger.

To my chagrin, my worries quickly turned into reality.

She arrived very quickly.

And she even held the bandit leader hostage as she came here.

conflicted.

After all, in my previous life, I not only treated him as my master but also as my benefactor and However, she didn't know that not everyone in this group of mountain bandits listened to the mountain bandit leader.

This was particularly true now that they were surrounded by the Imperial Court's army.

Putting aside other things, the second mountain bandit leader had the intention to flee.

True enough, when she arrived, she bumped into the second mountain bandit leader.

At that time, I was already feverish, so there was no way I could leave with her.

Even if I could walk out of the dungeon by myself, I probably wouldn't be able to walk home.

When she appeared, I was very moved, but more than that, I was fearful.

I was not fearful that I would die, but I was afraid that something would happen to her.

It was then that I realized how much I loved her.

However, she was unwilling to leave.

I knew her character, so I could only keep my spirits up and think of a way to protect both of us.

In the end, we succeeded.

We successfully delayed the bandits until the Imperial Court's army attacked.

Moreover, not only did we capture the bandit leader, but the second mountain bandit leader also died at her hands.

The guards who came to search the dungeon learned of the situation and brought us to meet the Second Prince.

Upon meeting the master in my previous life, I no longer felt grateful, but my feelings were still a little conflicted.

After all, in my previous life, I not only treated him as my master but also as my benefactor and confidant.

When I recalled that I have already repaid him for his kindness in my previous life, I felt relieved again.

In this life, the person who killed the bandit leader wasn't me, and the person he noticed became my wife.

This was good.

It was better that we did not cross paths again. Only then can I lead a peaceful life with my family.

However, things didn't go as I expected.

After the Second Prince witnessed my wife's capabilities, he actually had the intention to recruit her.

He even found out about my background.

Upon realizing that he failed to recruit my wife, he then changed his mind and tried to recruit me. He wanted to make use of me to pull my wife into his faction.

Of course, I wasn't willing to join him.

Even though he invited me time and time again, I chose to reject him.

However, there was no way I could avoid becoming familiar with him once more.
