Chapter 592: Chapter 594: She Fell in Love with Ye Ge, and She Also Grew to Hate Him - 1

Fortunately, though this stretch of road is not as crowded as the market, there are occasional farmers carrying their loads. Song Xiaoyue dares not move forward any further, worrying there might be no one around if she continues.

She sits down to rest by the roadside, and the two men behind her do the same. All the while, they watch her closely as they rest.

Song Xiaoyue’s heart is pounding with fear. She is terrified that they might disregard everything and rush at her. In such a situation... would she be sold into a brothel? Or get caught and made into a rural field man’s wife?

She grips her luggage tightly, on the verge of tears.

After sitting another hour and noticing that Song Xiaoyue was still unwilling to leave, the two men finally lose their patience. They decide to rob her outright, and if anyone asks, they would just say she was a disobedient wife they had to take home.

...

Wu Yang and Chen Niannian split up to find Song Xiaoyue, one taking the main road and the other the backstreets. Asking anyone he encountered whether they had seen a young lady, Wu Yang finally catches up and sees Song Xiaoyue quarreling with the two villains. He swiftly dismounts and subdues them.

At this point, Song Xiaoyue is thoroughly frightened, her face pale. Were it not for Wu Yang’s timely intervention, she doesn’t know what could have happened.

Only after Wu Yang has dealt with the two evil men does Song Xiaoyue break down and cry.

She swears she’ll never venture to the Capital City again or do such foolish things.

...

After Song Xiaoyue’s return, Song’s wife doesn’t bother with picking auspicious dates anymore. She soon arranges a date for Song Xiaoyue to marry the second son of Master Liu.

This time, Song Xiaoyue doesn’t argue.

Luckily, her mother hasn’t spread the word about her intention to go to the Capital City. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have the face to continue living!

But, Song Xiaoyue is puzzled. When she was saved by Yege, she fell in love with him instantly, but despite being saved by Wu Yang, she feels only gratitude, nothing more.

Perhaps, Yege is truly a man who grows more charming with each look.

Song Xiaoyue puts it down as a foolhardy adventure.

After all, who in this world hasn’t committed folly?

...

The Provincial City Business Association.

Nan Feng was once again summoned to a study session.

Most attending this time were investors of the bank, more than twenty people in total. The venue was the garden outside the Business Association.

Chairman Wan Hui passed to each a booklet titled "Business Morality".

Nan Feng also sat in the back garden on a stone bench. It was a warm afternoon, sparse sunlight trickling through the trees casting patchy shadows on the ground. While flowers bloomed beautifully, it was not as dull as the usual study meetings.

Many merchants have begun reading. Nan Feng also starts flipping through the book quietly.

As everyone read, Chairman Wan Hui steps in: "Gentlemen, I have some good news. We will have a very important guest coming to visit us soon. Do you know who that might be?"

Someone answers: "Is it the governor?"

Chairman Wan Hui grins and raises an eyebrow: "No, it’s not him. This important guest retired and returned to our blessed county some time ago. Having nothing to do at home, he heard about all of our diligent and studious members who are avid readers even while earning money. So he decided to come and have a look."

Upon hearing this, someone immediately guesses, "Could it be the recently-retired Lord Qin?"
