CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 342: AS STUBBORN AS A TURTLE SWALLOWING AN IRON WEIGHT

Mrs. Li was very anxious.

After all, the other day, there were assassins looking for the Yuan Family.

And this time, Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi leaving the city with only two guards—if they encountered assassins, it would be like a bun thrown to a dog, gone without a return!

"Eldest Li’s wife, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Quick, spit it out!"

Upon hearing Mrs. Li’s words, Mrs. Zeng’s face turned cold. Can you speak such nonsense?

Spit, spit, spit! Let the bad words be ineffective, and the good ones effective!

Startled by Mrs. Zeng’s rebuke, Mrs. Li realized her words were inauspicious, so she quickly spat several times, praying to the heavens to protect Yuan Pandi and Old Yuan.

...

That night, Mrs. Zeng and the others were all sleepless.

However, Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi, who were in their thoughts, did not encounter any trouble, let alone any assassins. To be precise, they encountered no trouble at all.

The two reached Beishan Village smoothly, meeting Yuan Zhaodi who had returned to the village.

Unfortunately, no matter what Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi said, Yuan Zhaodi was adamant about not wanting to live with Mrs. Xiao Li anymore.

Nothing is more tragic than a dead heart!

Yuan Zhaodi sincerely did not believe Mrs. Xiao Li would repent.

Rather than going back to endure mutual disdain, it would be better for both to let go and live well separately.

Seeing Yuan Zhaodi’s stubbornness, Old Yuan was so angry that he wanted to resort to hitting.

In Old Yuan’s view, although Mrs. Xiao Li indeed made mistakes, no matter what, she is now pregnant!

No matter how great the error is, for the sake of the child in her womb, major issues should be reduced to minor ones and minor ones should be dissolved.

However, Yuan Zhaodi was determined as a turtle swallowing a weight.

Thus, neither side willing to yield, time slowly passed by, and by the time Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi considered returning to the city, it was too late; there was simply not enough time for them to make it back before the city gates closed.

Therefore, the two could only stay overnight in the village.

Because of their unintentional actions, Mrs. Zeng, Mrs. Li, and the others worried all night long.

Yuan Bao, however, slept soundly.

She did not believe her grandfather and uncle would encounter any misfortune.

After all, she had not sensed anything unusual at all.

The next day, Yuan Bao still got up early to practice her Breathing Technique.

Though the city gates had not opened, Mei Jiu’s Qinggong was good enough to take Yuan Bao out of the city.

By sunrise, Yuan Bao finished her practice and headed towards Beishan Village with Mei Jiu accompanying her.

When Mei Jiu and Yuan Bao arrived at Beishan Village, they saw from afar that her grandfather was scolding her uncle.

"Sister Mei, let’s go, back to the city!"

Seeing her grandfather and uncle safe and sound, Yuan Bao didn’t approach them but turned around and left.

Her position was truly awkward.

So, it’s better not to meet.

Yuan Bao returned to Yunyang City with Mei Jiu, but instead of going back home directly, she found a food stall in the city to fill her stomach first, then leisurely went back to the residence.

She still didn’t want to face Mrs. Xiao Li.

If the Wei Family women hadn’t all gone to the summer retreat in West Ridge Mountain, Yuan Bao might have stayed at the Wei Family residence.

Unfortunately, with the Wei Family women all at the retreat, the residence had people, but they were all rough men. Bringing her people to the Wei Family seemed a bit mismatched.

Returning to the residence, Yuan Bao went back to her little courtyard.

"This is not a sustainable solution!"

Sitting in the shade of the little courtyard, Yuan Bao felt that avoiding the situation like this wasn’t very good.

After all, eating outside occasionally is fine, but she can’t keep doing it forever!
