Chapter 374: Why Is It Green?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qu Yuanxian was shocked. “Madam, don’t say those words out of anger. 1 apologize to you.”
Unexpectedly, Madam Qu was determined. She decisively wrote the divorce letter and threw it in front of Qu Yuanxian and threatened, “Either follow me back to the Central Plains or let’s divorce!”
The southern frontier had a bright future that Madam Qu could not see. She only saw that she had not become an official’s wife and their lives were simple and crude. They had been living in tents and did not know when they would be able to move in to the new houses that were under construction.
Even if Qu Yuanxian did not agree to the divorce, Madam Qu had already decided that she would return to the Central Plains.
Qu Yuanxian hurriedly said, “Yuling, don’t be like this. Let’s talk nicely.”
Madam Qu slammed the table angrily. “You say to talk nicely. What did you say to me in the beginning?”
“I think I’ve seen through you. You’re not signing, are you? If you’re not signing, I’ll leave like this. I’ll pack my things now.”
…..
Madam Qu shouted at the maidservant outside the door, “Someone, pack everything up for me now.”
Not only did she want to take everything away, but she also would not leave a single cent for Qu Yuanxian.
He could live however he wanted. She didn’t care anymore.
In any case, her son would become a scholar, and she would still be a majestic Madam of an official.
The more Madam Qu thought about it, the more excited she became. The maidservant stood still and she even shouted, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack up!”
The maidservant had no choice but to brace herself and pack up.
Whatever Qu Yuanxian said were useless. He was also angry so he flicked his sleeve. “If you want to leave, leave!”
Madam Qu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She shouted sharply, “Don’t regret it!”
With that, without waiting for Qu Yuanxian to react, she immediately said to the senior maidservant, “Get someone to prepare the carriage now. We ll leave now.”
The senior maidservant was from Madam Qu’s family. She only listened to Madam Qu’s instructions and immediately got someone to bring the carriage over.
Seeing that Madam Qu was really about to leave, Qu Yuanxian lowered his face again and said, “Yuling, don’t let others watch us like a joke.”
Madam Qu cared about her reputation the most. Qu Yuanxian thought that she would definitely compromise.
However, Madam Qu got into the carriage. “You can stay here alone!”
They did not bring much over, so the servants quickly finished packing up.
By then, Qu Yuanxian really became anxious. “Yuling! Come down quickly!”
Madam Qu still said, “Either divorce or follow me!”
They had followed the team to the southern frontier with great difficulty. Seeing that Carefree City was about to be built and everyone’s lives were developing on a good side, how could Qu Yuanxian be willing to leave?
He gritted his teeth and said, “Yuling, you’re already so old. Stop fooling around. Everyone is watching!”
Madam Qu snorted. “I’m leaving. No matter how they laugh at me, I won’t hear them!”
“If you’re not leaving, then stay!”
“Let’s go!”
Just as the horse was about to gallop away, Qu Yuanxian stood in front of the carriage. “Yuling, didn’t I already apologize to you?”
Madam Qu only wanted to leave this rundown place and return to her son’s side and never see Bai Wutong again.
She said angrily, “1 want to go back to my son! Move!”
It would take at least two and a half months to reach the Imperial City from here. It was a long journey. What if something happened?
Qu Yuanxian said anxiously, “Yuling! Why can’t you be more considerate of me?”
Madam Qu felt aggrieved. She didn’t want to come to the southern frontier from the beginning. She came because of him and took care of everything for him. Why wasn’t she being considerate of him?
It was not a heinous crime for her to want him to become an official!
Madam Qu asked the coachman to change directions. “If you don’t leave, I’ll sell you!”
The coachman really wanted to be sold. Carefree City was such a good place. Even servants could enter the workshop to earn money. If they saved enough money 20 years later and had no bad records, they could get rid of their slave status.
Moreover, the servants’ children could go to school for free, and businessmen would not be discriminated against. Women could also be factory managers and there were not many taxes.
The coachman really did not want to leave, but he knew that with Madam Qu’s temper, she would never let them be freed. He could only look at Qu Yuanxian in shock and quickly change directions.
Qu Yuanxian was pulling on the carriage. But because the horse suddenly started running rapidly, he was left behind again.
The senior maidservant in the carriage asked Madam Qu to calm down. Madam Qu snorted. “What calm down? If he doesn’t chase after us, our relationship as husband and wife will be severed!”
Madam Qu knew Qu Yuanxian too well.
He valued relationships and loyalty. The journey from the southern frontier was long. If he really had feelings for her, he would not have let her leave alone.
Anyway, the matter had already blown up and everyone had heard it.
Madam Qu narrowed her eyes. She had to force Qu Yuanxian to leave with her.
The carriage whistled away, and Qu Yuanxian fell into self-reproach.
When Cui Shize and the others heard the commotion, they ran over to express their concern. “What’s wrong, Brother Qu?”
How could Qu Yuanxian have the cheek to say anything?
Moreover, Bai Wutong must have learnt that Madam Qu had suddenly left.
Madam Qu was dissatisfied with her decision and deliberately showed her displeasure.
Yuling really could not stay any longer. Otherwise, if she angered Bai Wutong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Since ancient times, one could not balance loyalty to different people. Qu Yuanxian watched as the carriage drove further and further away. He suddenly knelt down and bowed to Yang Quanzi. “I’m ashamed of myself! We’ll meet again in the future!”
Yang Quanzi’s eyes widened. “You’re leaving?!”
Qu Yuanxian nodded solemnly. “I have to send my Madam back!”
He also wanted to stay and rebuild Qinghe Academy, as he had never thought of giving up on his dreams in his youth.
Yang Quanzi sighed and finally waved his hand. “Go.”
Since Qu Yuanxian had already made up his mind to leave, Cui Shize and Cui Shiji could only hurry up and help him settle matters.
The Youjia villagers did not like Madam Qu, but they were very grateful to Qu Yuanxian for his help to Youjia village. Not only did they prepare a lot of dry rations for him, but they also prepared mushroom sauce, kelp seaweed, crab sauce, tapioca noodles, and various other seafood.
Qu Yuanxian had mixed feelings. When Yang Quanzi handed him a portion of the neatly packed teaching books, Qu Yuanxian was already in tears.
Bai Wutong watched as Qu Yuanxian’s carriage drove away and shook her head in her heart. Even if Qu Yuanxian returned with Madam Qu, there would still be a barrier in their relationship as husband and wife. They would probably never return to the past in this lifetime.
After Qu Yuanxian and Madam Qu left, it was like a stone thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples before returning to calm.
As the days passed, Bai Wutong’s womb became bigger and her appetite improved.
Huang Zhong’s nose was especially sensitive. He often accompanied Gu Zhongxun into the mountain to pick herbs and learned a lot of pharmacology.
After knowing that eating more fruits was very good for pregnant women, Huang Zhong would enter the mountain with Ah Duo to look for fruits every time he was free.
They could probably pick mangoes from the last time they entered the mountain. Huang Zhong and Ah Duo entered the mountain together again.
Ah Duo shuttled freely through the forest like a beautiful spirit. Huang Zhong was like a slow turtle that was held by by dense vines. From time to time, he needed Ah Duo’s help to turn over.
After walking for about an hour, they finally saw the mango tree.
It was a wild mango tree that was a few meters tall and filled with fruits.
Huang Zhong was puzzled.. “Didn’t you say that it’s ripe? Why is it green?”
