Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Chapter 1741: Chapter 1741: Clean and Tidy!
 

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were despised by the Emperor and Empress, who clearly did not like her. Neither did Xue Shi and the others. Even if she had married into the Xue family, her days would certainly not have been easy.

Before, she hadn’t expected everyone to be so clever, nor had she expected so many people to disbelieve that she had been touched by Xue Bai. She had thought that as long as Xue Bai saw the “bloodstains,” and firmly believed she had been touched by him, then his family, because of his word, would also believe it…

Who would have known…

She also didn’t expect that after she had made such a dramatic scene, they still didn’t believe her…

Anyway, things were a bit out of her control.

Now, taking the money and leaving was the best option.

But, what was their status? It was hard to guarantee they wouldn’t seek revenge against her behind Xue Bai’s back, was it not? Naturally, she had to resolve this matter.

Moreover, she had previously told Xue Bai there was no need for him to take responsibility, nor did she ask for anything. She just wanted to leave, but if she were to accept the money now so readily, it might raise the suspicions of that fool, Xue Bai.

So she had to put on an act.

And knowing Xue Bai’s character, he certainly wouldn’t let her go without taking anything.

Lingxi began her act at once, her tears falling like broken pearls, unceasingly sliding down as she cried, “I never intended for Prince Bai to take responsibility from the beginning. No wives, concubines, or money for me. I was planning to leave just now, it was Prince Bai who stopped me. Now, I can finally go, no longer suffering indignity, my heart is at ease.”

As she spoke, Lingxi grabbed her bundle and started to walk out.

As expected, Xue Bai, troubled by his conscience, quickly stopped her, “I was truly helpless, I had intended to marry you, but my family opposed it. If I were to forcefully marry you, I doubt I could even bring you home; maybe they would only let me return alone. Such a life, you certainly wouldn’t be happy. Take these ten thousand silver, at least it can give me some peace of mind. You don’t have to go back right away, you can stay here, heal your wounds, then go back. You must have a family to return to, right? If not, I can help you find a place to stay in the county.”

“Thank you, Prince, I do have a family. My father was sick and needed constant medication to recover, but we didn’t have that much money, so I was sold out of desperation. Last year, my father recovered, and our household fortunes improved. Now if I return, they will definitely welcome me,” Lingxi said.

She lied. In fact, it was because her family found out she was involved with the eldest son next door. To prevent gossip and because they didn’t want her to have any further entanglement with the young man next door, they simply sold her to the Yang family.

However, to outsiders, including when her family sold her to the Yang family, they told the same story.

“I will not take the money,” Lingxi continued, “otherwise, others might think I’m greedy for it, and really believe that I plotted against the Prince. If I leave without taking anything, I’ll be clear and clean!”

Having said that, she walked towards the exit again.

Once more, Xue Bai stopped her and stuffed the ten thousand silver back into her hands, “Take it, if you refuse, I can’t let you go.”@@novelbin@@

“Prince, why must you do this…” Lingxi’s eyes overflowed with tears.

Xue Yifu and Li Hehua also persuaded, “Child, you better take it.”

“I… I don’t want it,” Lingxi cried, choking up, unable to speak, with the look of being wronged beyond endurance, as if being forced to accept something she didn’t want, allowing herself to be accused of doing it all for money.

Xue Bai coldly watched Lingxi’s performance. If he didn’t know that his family members like his eldest uncle and fourth aunt would intervene, he would have wanted to kick Lingxi right then.
