Chapter 1264: Chapter 1086: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Dabao is calling you," Zhao Datu saw Axiang just standing there and couldn’t help but push her, almost making her fall.

"Hey, why do you push her?" Xia Dabao, seeing Zhao Datu bullying Axiang, couldn’t stand it and got up from her bench to help Axiang up.

Axiang was very grateful. That day by the well, everyone was laughing at her, but Xia Dabao was the only one who truly cared about her. She said softly, "Thank you!"

"You’re welcome," Xia Dabao continued to help Axiang up and then pointed to the bench behind her and asked Axiang, "Is this the bench you brought?"

"Yes," Axiang still looked timidly at Zhao Datu.

When Zhao Datu had left the house, he thought Axiang was beautiful, but now next to Xia Dabao, his gaze stayed on Xia Dabao. Both were dressed in red gowns, but Axiang kept her head down and spoke softly, while Xia Dabao was bright and lively, like a little sun.

He had thought that if Axiang didn’t leave, he would drive her away, but with Axiang there, Xia Dabao actually noticed him, so he no longer wanted to drive Axiang away.

"Does he not want to sit with you?" Xia Dabao asked Axiang again. Axiang dared not speak, so Xia Dabao said, "If he won’t sit with you, I will sit with you, okay? Our bench is a bit cramped anyway."

Axiang didn’t dare to agree rashly and looked at Zhao Datu. Zhao Datu quickly nodded, and then Axiang sat down with Xia Dabao.

A long bench that could originally fit four people was taken over as Xia Dabao sat down and nonchalantly placed a foot on it, obviously not allowing Zhao Datu to sit, while Axiang sat silently.

The Niu Niang opera then began immediately.

The first act of the Niu Niang Opera told the story of Chen Shimei. Chen Shimei had gone to the capital and ranked first in the exams, and even caught the Princess’s eye. He lied about not having a wife back home and married the Princess, becoming a royal son-in-law. Later, his wife and children came looking for him in the capital only to find out that he had married the Princess and became a royal son-in-law. Chen Shimei not only denied his wife and son but also, for the sake of wealth and honor, planned to silence them. Fortunately, Judge Bao appeared and executed Chen Shimei.

Xia Dabao had seen this play before, but every time she saw the part where Chen Shimei abandoned his wife and child, she felt furious, wondering how there could be such men in the world. Later, Nan Feng told her that in the face of wealth and honor, many people actually cannot resist the temptation and only realize it after experiencing it themselves.

Xia Dabao couldn’t help but look at Tian Xiaobei in front of her. She suddenly wanted to ask him, if one day he faced the same situation, would he marry the Princess and forget about her?

But then she thought that it was too early to ask such a question, for Tian Xiaobei was currently only worried about his pharmacy and had never mentioned coming forward with a marriage proposal.

Xia Dabao was engrossed in the play, and so was Axiang. Just as Axiang was thoroughly enjoying it, she was tapped on the shoulder from behind. She turned around only to see Zhao Datu gesturing for her to leave quietly.

She hesitated for a while, then looked at Xia Dabao, who was deeply engrossed in the play and hadn’t noticed her.

Axiang dared not disobey Zhao Datu and had to leave the long bench quietly by herself, while Zhao Datu quietly sat down.

Seeing Axiang standing aside, Zhao Datu made another aggressive gesture telling her to leave. Axiang, feeling extremely aggrieved, walked away without daring to say anything.
