Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 166 Fulfillment
When Wen Shi appeared, Su Yaoguang's eyes grew even colder.

She looked coldly at Xiao Yanci: "Scholar Xiao, what do you have to say?"

Xiao Yanci looked at Madam Wen with disappointment: "Sister-in-law Wen, why did you do this?"

Wen looked at him with tears in her eyes, her gaze full of deep affection: "I just can't stand him stealing your thunder."

"When did you do it?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"Of course, it's before going on stage."

"You were able to determine what kind of horse Wangshu would choose before the race even started, and you tampered with that horse beforehand. Are you a mind reader? How do you know his thoughts so well?" Su Yaoguang questioned.

Zhou Wangshu frowned: "These roundworms are so ugly, let's forget about them, I find them disgusting."

"I..." Wen looked at Xiao Yanci for help.

"Headmaster, Master, Sister-in-law Wen is just a country woman who is illiterate and does not understand the seriousness of this matter. I will teach her a lesson and make her realize her mistake. Please be lenient with her," Xiao Yanci pleaded.

The headmaster and the teacher both looked troubled.

Su Yaoguang is a key target of the government's attention. If she makes a scene in the government, this matter will not be so easily resolved.

The headmaster asked Su Yaoguang, "Miss Su, what do you think?"

“My idea is to hand this over to the authorities for investigation. Headmaster, fellow teachers, you all saw what happened just now. If it weren’t for Wang Shu’s excellent riding skills, he would have been crippled if not killed. This is no longer a minor conflict, but an attempt to kill. Besides, what this Wen woman said is full of loopholes. I suspect she is protecting the real villain. It is best to hand this matter over to the government.”

"I know I was wrong, please don't send me to the authorities." Madam Wen knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu to apologize.

She pounded hard with each blow, and her forehead quickly broke and bled.

The commotion attracted a lot of attention, and everyone asked what had happened.

Zhong Chushan didn't hide anything and loudly recounted the inside story of Zhou Wangshu's horse being startled.

"That's outrageous. Boss Su is right, they should be handed over to the authorities."

"Is this how you win when you're outmatched? You're trying to kill someone! Boss Su, take her to the authorities."

More and more people supported Su Yaoguang's decision, and the whole scene became very chaotic.

Xiao Yanci bowed to everyone, then bowed to Su Yaoguang: "Sister-in-law Wen did such a foolish thing because of me, and I am willing to take responsibility. This horse is injured, but it is not in mortal danger, and I am willing to pay for its treatment. Just now, Scholar Zhou was frightened, and I am willing to give him ten taels of silver. I hope Scholar Zhou can calm down and forgive this ignorant woman."

Jiang Yihuan walked over, grabbed Xiao Yanci's arm, and said with dissatisfaction, "Brother Xiao, why should you bear the consequences of her mistakes? Let's ignore her, okay? People like her shouldn't stay in the academy; we should kick her out."

Su Yaoguang pulled Zhou Wangshu to a corner, and the two whispered a few words to each other.

This was definitely done by that shameless scoundrel Xiao Yanci. Even if it's handed over to the authorities, if Wen takes the blame, given the severity of the matter, she'll at most get twenty strokes of the cane, be locked up for a few days, and then released after paying a ransom.

But this would only make Jiang Yihuan smug. With Wen leaving the academy, who would cause Jiang Yihuan trouble? Wouldn't that mean there wouldn't be any good show to watch?
Since that's the case, it would be better to accept Xiao Yanci's money, give Xiao Yanci and Wen Shi another push, and make the two even more inseparable.

“Headmaster, we can’t argue with an ignorant woman; that would make us seem petty. Here’s what we’ll do: it’s true that this woman harmed someone, and she’ll be punished by the authorities anyway. If Scholar Xiao personally gives Ms. Wen twenty strokes of the cane and compensates us with twenty taels of silver for the shock, then we can let this matter go.”

"Twenty taels?" Jiang Yihuan's eyes widened. "Why don't you just rob us?"

"Xiao Xuezi, do you think twenty taels is too much?" Su Yaoguang didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Yihuan.

Jiang Yihuan wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhou Wangshu's eyes, she instinctively shivered.

How could she forget this madman?

Jiang Yihuan recalled those dark and hopeless days, the despair of being locked in a dilapidated house, unable to call for help. She never wanted to see this man again.

Wen cried and sobbed, "You should just send me to the authorities! Scholar Xiao is a gentleman, how could you force him to beat me?"

Xiao Yanci gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I promise you."

He couldn't send her to the authorities. If he did, she might be intimidated and reveal the truth, which would be embarrassing for him.

Since she'd get beaten up anywhere anyway, he might as well be the one to do it. He'll make it up to her properly after this is over.

Xiao Yanci's gaze towards Wen Shi softened considerably.

This woman truly loves him.

At least for now, her love seems more sincere and profound than Jiang Yihuan's.

Now that a consensus had been reached, the headmaster and the teachers breathed a sigh of relief, realizing they wouldn't have to resort to the authorities.

In front of everyone, Xiao Yanci used a thick stick to beat Wen Shi, who was lying there.

Jiang Yihuan looked at Wen Shi smugly, thinking to herself: Go against me, and before I can even make a move, someone will take care of you.

Xiao Yanci watched as Madam Wen bit her lip and endured the pain, but after a few moments, she still let out a scream.

"I appreciate your kindness, thank you."

"This servant is willing to do anything for you, young master." Before she fell into a coma, Wen's eyes were filled with longing and infatuation.

Su Yaoguang pinched Zhou Wangshu's arm.

"Why are you pinching me?"

"I felt disgusted, so I'm here to cleanse my palate of the grease."

"You pinch me to cleanse your palate?" Zhou Wangshu said discontentedly, reaching out as if to pinch Su Yaoguang.

Su Yaoguang didn't dodge and offered her arm: "Pinch me, pinch me if you want."

How could Zhou Wangshu really strangle her?

He obediently lowered his hand, looked at the scene before him, and said, "There's nothing to see, let's go."

After the polo match, the academy gave students a half-day off, allowing them and their families to get together.

Zhou Wangshu won the game, and Zhang Zhaodi was overjoyed. She invited her teammates to have a big meal at Jiang's Restaurant that day.

Xiao Yanci picked up the battered and bruised Wen Shi, looked up at the departing figures of Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu, his eyes filled with fierceness.

Let them be smug for another month. After a month, that good-for-nothing Zhou Wangshu will definitely fail the imperial examination, while he will definitely pass.

"Brother Xiao, why did you hug her? She's made such a fool of herself, and she's up to no good. Let's just leave her alone, okay?"

Xiao Yanci lowered his eyes and said, "Huan'er, aren't you very kind? If no one takes care of her in this state, her injuries will not be treated, and she may die without medicine."

"She tried to steal Brother Xiao from me, she's not a good person," Jiang Yihuan said, tugging at Xiao Yanci's arm and acting coquettishly.

Xiao Yanci said calmly, "I'm sorry, Huan'er, she became like this because of me, I have to save her. You should go back first!"
