Little Peasant Wife - Chapter 1

Liu Jin heard the words, opened her wet and swollen eyes, and looked at Xun Ziyu.

“Husband, you have finally come to save your concubine*.” Liu Jin said excitedly, when she saw clearly the coming person.

[*妾身(Qiè shēn); Concubine. 妾(Qiè); I, your servant (deprecatory self-reference for women). When she said 妾身, she was referring to herself]

After speaking, she got up anxiously and ran to Xun Ziyu.

Although she was only a few steps away from him, she felt that she was a thousand miles away.

For a few days in detention, she missed him day and night. Now that he was here, how does she not happy?

When she came to Xun Ziyu’s side, she stretched out her hands to embrace him with excitement.

When Xun Ziyu saw this, a flash of disgust flashed across his face, and he quickly took a step back.

Liu Jin’s stretched out hand had hugged an empty air. She originally wanted to complained about him, but when she saw the face that like a crown jade and the white and flawless robe, she smiled slightly and retracted her hand in embarrassment.

She knew that he has mysophobia, he was such a person who loves cleanliness, and now she was covered with mud, how can he be close to him?

“Did husband going to let this concubine out?” She saw Xun Ziyu standing there motionless, without any expression on his face, she was very puzzled.

Xun Ziyu shook his head: “No.”

After Liu Jin heard what he said, her body couldn’t help but tremble, and she said emotionaly: “Husband, why even you don’t believe me? I really didn’t kill anyone.”

“I know.” Xun Ziyu lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

His smile made Liu Jin bewildered, and she never knew he would smile like this.

It was just that this smile carried sarcasm, and she couldn’t help but felt startled in her heart.

“Since husband knows, why don’t you let this concubine out?” Liu Jin asked in a daze.

Xun Ziyu cast a meaningful glanced at the old servant next to him, and the old servant walked out with a few others and closed the door easily.

Xun Ziyu walked towards Liu Jin slowly and snorted, “Because I don’t want to let you go!”

His voice was very pleasant, like the melody played by a good guqin, deep and magnetic, but the words he speaks were extremely cold, so cold that Liu Jin’s heart instantly falls into the ice lake.

“Why?” Liu Jin’s eyes were full of disbelief.

She really couldn’t understand, didn’t the man in front of her always regard her as a treasure!

She has been married to him for three years. In the past three years, husband and wife have been harmonious. Why did he suddenly become so indifferent?

Xun Ziyu stretched out his hand, squeezed Liu Jin’s chin, sighed and said: “Liu Jin! Should I say you are naive? Or should I say you are extremely stupid? With your identity, why do you think Xiang’er sent an invitation card to you!”

When Liu Jin heard the word Xiang’er, her face suddenly changed. She looked at Xun Ziyu in amazement, recalling what happened a few days ago.

Her husband was originally the Head Magistrate of Meiyuan County. He was rewarded by the imperial court because of his contributions to the management of floods and came to the capital waiting to be appointed.

Three days ago, Qi’s daughter Qi Xiang sent someone to send an invitation, inviting her to visit the Qi’s residence to appreciate the plum blossoms.

She knows this Qi mansion, how dare she not go to the appointment at the residence of the Prime Minister.

But she didn’t expect that after she entered the house, she didn’t see Qi Xiang at all, but was taken into a baby room by the maidservant.

She looked at the baby in the cradle and liked it very much, and couldn’t help but want to reach out for a hug.

However, at this moment, the maid suddenly yelled, saying that she had killed the baby, which stunned her at once.

Immediately, she was tied up and brought to the Prime Minister. No matter how she explained, the Prime Minister did not believe her.

She thought that the Prime Minister would immediately put her to death, but she didn’t expected him to send her back to Xun Mansion.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin seemed to understand something. Her whole body was limp on the ground, tears dripping on the ground like broken pearls.

“It’s you guys! You guys killed that Little Young Master.” Liu Jin said sadly, pointed at Xun Ziyu with his fingers in horror.

It turned out that all of this was their conspiracy.

Xun Ziyu smiled coldly: “It seems that you are not that stupid.”

After getting the definite answer, Liu Jin’s heart instantly hurt and couldn’t breathe.

“Xun Ziyu, you actually framed me like this for that woman.” Liu Jin yelled heartbreakingly, “I have been so good to you in the past few years, but you…but you are biting the hand that feed you, Xun Ziyu, you are not a human being. If I hadn’t helped you bribed the Lord of Prefectural Magistrate, how could you become…”

“Shut up, if it wasn’t for you to have some money, you thought I would marry you?” Xun Ziyu interrupted Liu Jin coldly.

His words hit Liu Jin’s heart like a heavy hammer, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood in pain.

He married her just for money!

Heh heh! How stupid was she, in spite of everything she didn’t even notice it at all.

“Xun Ziyu, I will kill you, ungrateful fellow.”

Liu Jin stood up abruptly, grabbed Xun Ziyu’s arm, and bit it hard.

Xun Ziyu felt a pain in his hand, shake her off, and throwing her to the ground.

He looked at the tooth marks and blood stains on his wrists, and said as he scowled in anger: “Damn! This woman, are you tired of living?”

“Haha! Didn’t you framed me because you wanted me to die! And you can marry her as a wife after I die? Then you can step by step become an official and promote to nobility?” Liu Jin’s mouth was full of blood, looking very hideous.

She always knew that he was an aspiring person, but she didn’t know that he would treated her like this.

Her heart really hurts, very hurts… it hurts like being pierced by a thousand arrows.

Suddenly remembered the sweet years of the past, she couldn’t help but smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, and asked sadly: “Have you ever been sincere to me?”
