Transformed into an abused child bride, breaking off the marriage and getting a divorce is so cool

Chapter 214 Hero saves beauty

Du Xiaoyao smelled a bloody smell and asked, "Brother Jiang, are you injured?"

Jiang Yuwen shook his head. "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Du Xiaoyao was a little anxious and immediately turned around to see where Jiang Yuwen was injured. During this movement, her ear brushed against Jiang Yuwen's chin.

The beard on her chin pricked her ears and made them burn red.

Jiang Yuwen also felt a soft touch, tilted his head, and a slight blush flashed across his dark face.

Both men fell silent.

Jiang Yuwen broke the silence, "It's getting late. The city gates will be closed if we go back now. Let's find a place to stay for the night."

Du Xiaoyao nodded, then realized Jiang Yuwen couldn't see her, so she said, "I'll listen to Brother Jiang."

As soon as I opened my mouth I realized my voice was hoarse.

Du Xiaoyao's face turned red again.

Soon, the horse stopped in front of a farmhouse. Jiang Yuwen jumped off the horse, carried Du Xiaoyao down from the carriage, and then walked forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, a fifty-year-old woman opened the door.

Jiang Yuwen bowed respectfully and said, "Auntie, my sister and I are on our way and don't have time to go into the city. I wonder if I can stay here for one night."

The old lady looked Jiang Yuwen and Du Xiaoyao up and down, and then another old man came out from behind, "Who's coming here so late?"

Jiang Yuwen opened his mouth again and repeated his request.

The old man glanced at the two of them and hesitated.

Jiang Yuwen took out some copper coins from his lapel and said, "These are our hard work fees for you, uncle and aunt."

The two old men then looked at each other and let the two men into the house.

"My child is not at home, and there is an empty room. I'm afraid we'll have to squeeze in."

Jiang Yuwen quickly said, "Just give the room to my sister. I'll just sit outside for one night."

The old lady didn't say anything.

Jiang Yuwen took out some more copper coins and said, "Auntie, please prepare some food for us."

The old lady took the copper coins and walked towards the kitchen.

There was a fire burning in the house, which was much warmer than outside.

Du Xiaoyao sat quietly by the fire, holding a cup of hot water.

Jiang Yuwen negotiated everything with the old man and the old woman before sitting down next to Du Xiaoyao.

"You stay in that room tonight."

Du Xiaoyao asked, "What about you?"

"I'll just stay out here for one night."

Du Xiaoyao originally wanted to say, "Let's squeeze in."

In the end, I didn't say it.

Then he looked at Jiang Yuwen's arm and asked in a low voice, "Your injury?"

Jiang Yuwen shook his head and said nothing, fearing that revealing the wound would scare the old man.

Soon the old lady brought the food. It was winter and there was not much to eat, just some cabbage and radishes.

Although it was not very delicious, Du Xiaoyao ate a lot.

After dinner, the old lady led the two into the house and said, "You two can live here peacefully. If you need anything, come next door and call me."

After saying this, he left behind an oil lamp and left.

Jiang Yuwen, holding an oil lamp, walked towards the only kang in the room. He touched it and found it was still warm. "You can stay here. We will return to the city early tomorrow morning."

Now that there was no one around, Du Xiaoyao saw that Jiang Yuwen was still concerned about her and hadn't even taken care of the wound on his hand. She got a little anxious and went up to take off his cloak, "Don't worry about me, let me take a look at your injury."

Jiang Yuwen subconsciously took a step back.

Du Xiaoyao finally realized that it was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, and said awkwardly, "You...look at your wound."

Jiang Yuwen said indifferently, "It's okay, you can rest first, I'll be guarding the door."

Du Xiaoyao subconsciously grabbed Jiang Yuwen's clothes and said, "How can you sit outside in such a cold weather?"

Then he looked at the kang and said, "This kang is so big, you can just sleep on the edge."

Jiang Yuwen shook his head, "It's okay."

Then he turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door quickly.

Du Xiaoyao bit her lip, stamped her feet, and climbed onto the kang helplessly.

The kang was very warm, but Du Xiaoyao couldn't fall asleep. Thinking of Jiang Yuwen sitting alone in the cold hall, she felt as if millions of ants were crawling on her body.

Du Xiaoyao simply sat up, opened the door and walked out.

When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yuwen bandaging his own wound, as it was inconvenient to use one hand.

Du Xiaoyao burst into tears when she saw the wounds on Jiang Yuwen's body. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you so stubborn? It's already this late. What's wrong with asking me to help bandage you?"

When Jiang Yuwen saw Du Xiaoyao crying, he subconsciously wanted to go forward and wipe her tears. When he got closer, he realized that it was inappropriate because this was not his sister.

"It's really nothing, just some minor injuries, I'm used to it."

Du Xiaoyao took over the work from Jiang Yuwen and helped him bandage it.

"You were injured while saving me, so I must be responsible for your injury."

After the wound was bandaged, Du Xiaoyao pushed him into the house and said, "Since you don't want to stay in the same room with me, I'll stay outside tonight and you can go in and sleep."

How could Jiang Yuwen let a girl like Du Xiaoyao stay outside?

But seeing Du Xiaoyao's resolute attitude, he finally compromised and said, "Let's all go in."

Only then did Du Xiaoyao smile.

Two people were lying on the kang, one on the east and the other on the west, and neither of them was asleep.

Du Xiaoyao turned her head and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Jiang Yuwen's low voice came, "No."

"How did you find out I was out of town?"

The two of them hadn't communicated much, and Du Xiaoyao couldn't sleep at the moment, so she asked.

"After you ran away from home, the Du family sent people to our house to look for you. Yutong was in a hurry to leave, and I was worried, so I came to look for you myself."

Then he told her how he had searched the city for a while but couldn't find anyone, and then met the couple at the city gate.

"I walked quite a distance before I noticed a lot of noise in the basket. It wasn't the chickens or ducks, so I followed them because I was worried."

"When we got to the intersection, we found they had lost the cart, which made us even more certain."

Du Xiaoyao sighed, "Luckily you found out. I didn't run away from home, I just went out to relax."

It turned out that Du Xiaoyao accidentally overheard the conversation between her parents and brother at home today, so she ran out in anger.

The eldest brother of the Du family said, "Although this man is a little older than Xiaoyao, he is a third-rank official. If Yutong marries him, she will directly become a third-rank lady. How many people would wish for that."

Mrs. Du's voice came, "But if Xiaoyao marries him, she'll be a second wife, and she already has a half-grown child. This is definitely not appropriate."

It was Brother Du's voice again. "There's nothing wrong with remarrying. Xiaoyao won't have to bear children anymore. My job hasn't been settled yet, and it's because no one in the court is speaking up for me. I think this marriage is a good one."

Then the sound of Mrs. Du crying was heard. Du Xiaoyao couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go out for a walk in anger.

Unexpectedly, not long after I went out, I was spotted by human traffickers, and what happened next happened.

"The security in the capital is too bad. My mother must be worried sick if I didn't go back. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out alone."
