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

Chapter 209 Backlash
The room was small, with limited space to hide.

Jiang Yihuan rummaged through the wardrobe, and after looking around for places where someone could hide, she realized that the useless old bachelor really wasn't there.

That old bachelor must have chickened out halfway through and didn't dare to make a move, so he ran away before she noticed.

No wonder he's been a bachelor for so many years, he's really useless. If she had known he was so useless, she would have found a bolder man, one who looked like someone not to be trifled with.

"Have you finished watching? If you have, please get out." Su Yaoguang looked at Jiang Yihuan coldly.

The other women were a little embarrassed.

Today, their men all went to the examination hall, and they were worried and naturally couldn't sleep. As a result, Jiang Yihuan called them over to catch the thief, saying that Su Yaoguang was alone at home, and if the thief harmed her, they, as women and family members of students, could not sit idly by.

What she said made sense, and with so many people gathered together, if they could really drive away the thieves, it would be a matter of pride. When the men returned, they could boast about how they had done such a great service while the men were away.

Now, the thief, without being seen, has rashly broken into someone else's home, causing unpleasantness.

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep."

After the first woman turned and left, the other women also said they would go back.

"Young lady of the Zhou family, the men have been taking the imperial examinations these past few days, so we women have nothing to do. We're thinking of getting together. Are you free? Would you like to come?"

Among the women, there were also those who were tactful. Seeing that the situation was not good, and not wanting to cause trouble for her man, she simply took the initiative to invite Su Yaoguang to ease the tension.

Facing the other women, Su Yaoguang suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "Since you have invited me so kindly, even if the King of Heaven himself wanted to see me, I would still have to make time for you."

The other women were surprised that Su Yaoguang was so easy to talk to. Those who had initially harbored some resentment towards her found her amiable nature much less hostile.

Su Yaoguang had met these women in her previous life. Three of them would become officials' wives, and even if they each had their own schemes, they were not inherently bad. She hadn't met the other three in the capital, so their future development was probably mediocre. However, she never made friends based on their achievements, but rather on whether their character suited her taste.

Furthermore, in her previous life, she wanted to integrate into their circle, but Xiao Yanci wouldn't give her the chance, unwilling to let her go out and 'make a fool of herself.' In this life, she can make friends openly and naturally.

Besides, we'll need them later! Building good relationships now will make them easier to use later.

Su Yaoguang turned around and looked coldly at Jiang Yihuan: "Get out of here. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Our two families have never gotten along. What are you pretending to be?"

The way those women looked at Jiang Yihuan changed.

They initially thought she meant well, which is why they came to see her, but now it seems she had ulterior motives!
Jiang Yihuan hadn't found any 'evidence,' and now Su Yaoguang had humiliated her so openly. She was filled with resentment and anger, but as someone who always knew how to be patient, she knew she couldn't lash out now. Without any evidence, no matter what she said, she couldn't gain anyone's trust. She could only look for another opportunity to make sure Su Yaoguang could never recover.

Jiang Yihuan covered her face and wept: "Sister Yaoguang, we are both women and from the same hometown. I was just worried about you, that's why I cared so much. How could you say such a thing to me?"

After saying that, Jiang Yihuan ran out crying, looking as if she had been greatly wronged.

The other women were immediately drawn to the relationship between the two.

Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well listen to some gossip. Maybe I'll get tired of listening and fall asleep as soon as I get home.

"You have a grudge against that young lady from the Xiao family?"

"Don't even mention it, the relationship between our two families is quite complicated," Su Yaoguang said. "Dear sisters-in-law and aunts, I know you all mean well, thank you for your concern."

The women felt even more relieved upon hearing this.

So this young lady is quite reasonable!
Just then, a scream came from next door.

Upon hearing the sound, Su Yaoguang said anxiously, "Something must have happened?" "Judging from the sound, there really is a thief, but he didn't come here; he went next door instead. Come on, let's go check it out."

Several women jogged toward the house next door, while Su Yaoguang walked slowly behind them.

After all, she was the one who orchestrated this whole show, and she knew exactly where the plot was headed. There was nothing new about it, so she decided to leave the best viewpoint to someone else.

"Oh my god..." Mrs. Hu covered her eyes, looking like she couldn't bear to look.

The other older women stared wide-eyed.

"Young lady of the Xiao family, how can you do such a thing as to Xiao Xuezi?"

Jiang Yihuan was pinned to the table by Huang Daniu, who had taken off his clothes and was behaving intimately with her.

Jiang Yihuan shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.

Huang Daniu covered Jiang Yihuan with his clothes and scolded the women, "Aren't you all being a bit nosy? Her husband isn't here, what's wrong with us having a little fun together?"

"She has a boyfriend, do you think that matters?"

"Her husband is a damn scoundrel. How can she expect such a beautiful young woman to stay by his side?"

Several women stared at Jiang Yihuan in shock.

“No…” Jiang Yihuan had just said one sentence when she heard Huang Daniu’s low, threatening voice.

“Everyone, these two clearly know each other,” Su Yaoguang said. “It’s not a good idea for us to stay here. Why don’t we leave?”

“No, she may be shameless, but we are! If word gets out that she’s having an affair with some random man here, all of our reputations will be ruined. We’ll go to the officials and see if these two should be drowned in a pig cage for having an affair here,” a woman said.

"What a hassle." Huang Daniu released Jiang Yihuan and straightened his clothes. "I've lost interest."

After saying that, he touched Jiang Yihuan's waist and said with a wicked smile, "I'll come find you again next time."

Jiang Yihuan sobbed, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know you at all."

"You don't recognize me? Why would I look for you instead of someone else?" Huang Dani pulled Jiang Yihuan's undergarment from his pocket. "You bitch, you're going to deny everything after you've done this?"

Jiang Yihuan glared at Su Yaoguang with hatred.

Huang Daniu should have been with Su Yaoguang, but now he was in her room. She didn't believe it was an accident; it must have been Su Yaoguang's doing.

Huang Daniu completed his mission and left with Jiang Yihuan's undergarment.

The other women looked at Jiang Yihuan with disgust: "You're despicable."

"Stay away from her from now on. She's a shameless slut. We shouldn't let her ruin our reputations."

"It's getting late, everyone should go home!" Su Yaoguang said.

The women left quickly. Su Yaoguang didn't leave immediately, but stood there looking at Jiang Yihuan, who had stopped crying: "You should be grateful that I'm a kind person and didn't want to use such despicable means to retaliate against you. Jiang Yihuan, I might not be so kind next time."

"You still ruined my reputation by doing this. Is this what you call kindness?" Jiang Yihuan looked at her resentfully.

"This is just a warning, to let you know I have the ability to make you suffer even more. Losing your reputation won't cause the sky to fall; what you're after is my innocence," Su Yaoguang sneered. "Jiang Yihuan, if you dare to provoke me again, next time I'll make you pay with interest."
