The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 546: Meng Yunzheng Felt Guilty

Meng Yunzheng got down from his horse and cupped his hands at the village chief. “Sorry to disturb you, Village Chief. My surname is Yun, and I’m heading to Donglin Prefecture with my wife to visit the bride. Unexpectedly, the rope suddenly broke and startled the horse. My wife couldn’t avoid it in time and rolled down the hill. She was injured and couldn’t travel anymore, so I came to the village to stay for the night. I hope you can help me.”

When the villagers heard this, they came to a realization. No wonder this woman looked so miserable. Her arms were still hanging around her neck, and her face was a little pale.

After hearing the whole story, the village chief saw Meng Yunzheng was polite and generous, so he had a good impression of him. He asked a few more questions and saw that Meng Yunzheng answered smoothly and did not seem to be lying, so he immediately agreed.

Shu Yu sat on the horse’s back and sighed. Meng Yunzhengs face and voice were too deceiving.

After Meng Yunzheng finished talking with the village chief, he came over and carried Shu Yu down.

The clothes on her body were still tightly covered, and she was carried into the house.

Although the village chief’s family was not very rich, it was not bad. It looked quite bright.

The village chief’s wife tidied up a room and said cautiously, “The room is small. Just make do. If you need anything, just look for me.”

“Thank you.” Meng Yunzheng thanked her and placed Shu Yu on the bed before following the village chief and his wife out.

He gave the village chief a tael of silver and said with slight embarrassment, “I still have to trouble Aunt to help me find some clean clothes. When my wife rolled down the hill, her clothes were torn. Our original luggage and clothes are all in the carriage. The carriage is heavy, and we don’t know where they rolled to. We can’t find them for a while.’

“Ah, Sir Yun is too polite. It’s just a set of clothes. It’s not worth so much money.” Even though she said that, her eyes were still staring at the silver, unwilling to leave.

Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, “Other than clothes, I would also like to trouble you to get some water for me and help me make some food. My wife was a little frightened. I wonder if she can eat something good for digestion?”

Since he had said so, the village chief’s wife did not stand on ceremony anymore. “Alright, don’t worry, Young Sir. Go back and comfort your wife. Leave the rest to me.” I saw that your wife’s face was pale. She must have been frightened.”

“Thank you.”

Meng Yunzheng thanked her again and then turned around to return to his room.

Not long after, the village chief’s wife came back with a basin of water and a set of clothes. Although it wasn’t made of good material, it was clean and comfortable.

Meng Yunzheng closed the door and placed the clothes on the edge of the bed. He also brought the water to her.

Following that, she was in a difficult position. “You…”

Shu Yu coughed lightly. “Don’t worry. These clothes are loose and easy to change into. Help me guard the door.”

Meng Yunzheng gulped. “It’s easy to change your clothes, but your injuries need to be treated. Just now, in a moment of desperation, I told the village chief that you and I are husband and wife. If I let others help you apply the medicine, it will arouse suspicion.”

Shu Yu was speechless. So why did you say that we’re husband and wife in a hurry? Brother and sister were also possible.

Perhaps Shu Yu’s eyes were too obvious, but Meng Yunzheng felt a little guilty. He slowly turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

Shu Yu snorted and waved her uninjured hand. “I’ll change my clothes first. We’ll talk about the rest later.’

“Alright….”
