Chapter 54: Peerless Little Bride 7
The sound seemed to penetrate everyone’s eardrums, making everyone involuntarily stop what they were doing.
Qian Xu nervously reached out to grab little Tianmiao. Such a beautiful child, falling into the hands of these beasts, she dared not imagine what might happen.
Everyone’s gaze turned to see a little girl dressed in luxurious clothing.
Who is this?
Before they could react, little Tianmiao waved her chubby hand, scattering a handful of Silver that fell all over the ground.
The crowd froze for a moment before quickly coming to their senses.
"Silver!"
"So much Silver!"
"Silver, money!"
Cheers echoed throughout the courtyard, and everyone bent down to scramble for the Silver on the ground. These people had never seen so much Silver; it was all glittering white. The large ones were as much as ten taels of Silver, and even the small ones were at least one or two taels. Some people even started fighting over the Silver.
At this moment, who still remembered to grab Ren’s mother and the young wife? Even the village chief’s eyes turned red.
"Put it down, put it down. No one move." The village chief’s voice became hoarse with shouting, but who paid attention to him?
"Let’s go." Little Tianmiao tugged at Qian Xu.
Qian Xu snapped back to reality, quickly picking up little Tianmiao, pulling Ren’s mother through the crowd, rushing out the gate, and frantically running toward the village entrance. They must quickly escape from this Hell on Earth.
Little Tianmiao lay on Qian Xu’s shoulder, tossed another handful of Silver, and looked at the crowd crazily scrambling, with a cold smile.
Qian Xu ran swiftly, and Ren’s mother ran alongside her at the fastest pace.
Qian Xu gradually slowed down, gasping for breath.
Little Tianmiao considered her weight and listened to Qian Xu’s panting, keeping silent.
When Qian Xu and Ren’s mother finally reached the village entrance and saw the stone tablet carved with the village name, their hearts sank. A chaotic sound of footsteps rose behind them.
The village chief was leading the villagers in pursuit.
A sense of despair flooded Qian Xu’s heart, and Ren’s mother was also filled with despair.
How could they outrun the burly villagers chasing them?
"I’m sorry, I can’t protect you." Qian Xu held little Tianmiao tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"No..." Little Tianmiao’s voice became ethereal, "Your wish is about to come true."
"What?" Qian Xu looked down at little Tianmiao in astonishment.
The next moment, the sound of galloping hooves roared like thunder.
Qian Xu looked up ahead, and Ren’s mother also looked ahead in shock.
What did they see?!
A large army was rapidly approaching. With golden armor and iron horses, a majestic presence, the hooves kicked up billowing dust, drawing near from afar.
At the forefront was the person they were all familiar with and had longed for.
That was Ren Liangxu.
At this moment, clad in golden armor, wearing a silver crown, with a red cloak billowing in the wind.
"Husband!"
"Liang Xu!!"
Qian Xu and Ren’s mother found new hope, shouted with delight, and ran toward Ren Liangxu.
Ren Liangxu rode up to them, jumped off his horse with a joyful expression, and embraced them.
"I’ve returned, I’ve returned! I’ve missed you!" Ren Liangxu held his young wife and Ren’s mother, nearly shedding tears. Finally, he had returned, finally he could return gloriously to welcome them.
The village chief and villagers stood like they were struck by lightning, unable to move.
They were prepared to kill the mother and humiliate the wife, yet the person they sought to victimize had returned home triumphantly with high status.
What to do now?
