Picked Up A Husband For Farming - Chapter 409 - 409 Hatred Out of Love

409 Hatred Out of Love

“Your words are a little harsh. So what if I’m young? Am I a child just because I’m young?” Xu Xiang’s voice was cold.

Leng Ning’er found it ridiculous. Not a child? Then what was she? A dwarf with a child’s appearance? How could a ten-year-old fall in love with a man in his twenties? “How can you have the nerve to say such a thing? Your parents taught you…”

Leng Ning’er was about to continue when she was interrupted by a cold voice.

“What’s the matter? Why is it so lively here?” Xu Qing saw that the atmosphere here wasn’t right and hurriedly interrupted their conversation. Otherwise, people might really say that Xu Xiang’s upbringing was bad. Even if she could help Xu Xiang suppress the rumors, it would still affect a girl like Xu Xiang.

!!
When Leng Ning’er saw who it was, although she was still angry, she suppressed it. After all, she was no longer the naive girl she used to be. It was her fault for not being able to control her temper just now.

In fact, Xu Qing felt a little regretful about Leng Ning’er’s change. She had also heard about Green Mountain Nation’s situation in the past two years. Their newly appointed State Master, Liu Shen, was arrogant and conceited. He harmed the commoners and made the emperor so angry that he was bedridden. Now, seeing that the people in the country were struggling to survive, she regretted forcing Liu Gexu away. In the past, when Liu Gexu was around, although the commoners were afraid of him, Liu Gexu wouldn’t harm the commoners.

At this time, Leng Yanxing took over the throne. However, his power was no match for Liu Shen’s. When she saw her brother’s burden, Leng Ning’er’s temperament changed drastically and she matured.

As Leng Ning’er looked at Mr. Bei Shu, she remembered her true motive for coming here… No matter what, Xu Sizhi was the most suitable candidate for her. Only such a capable and handsome person could bear such heavy responsibilities with her.

When Xu Xiang saw Xu Qing, she hugged her aggrievedly. “Brother Shu, this evil woman wants to snatch Brother Sizhi and even scolded me!”

Xu Xiang’s reaction was very normal in the eyes of Xu Sizhi and the others, but in Leng Ning’er’s opinion, it was abnormal. What did a little girl know about love? She probably wanted to monopolize Xu Sizhi’s love just because they grew up together.

Xu Qing comforted Xu Xiang dotingly. In the past, she felt that it wasn’t a bad idea for Leng Ning’er to be with Xu Sizhi. After all, they were about the same age. One was like a mature big brother, and the other was like a proud little princess. But now, she felt that Leng Ning’er was unworthy of Xu Sizhi because her innocence from back then had disappeared and she had become much more scheming. Coupled with the messy situation in Green Mountain Nation, she didn’t want Xu Sizhi to go over there anymore. Moreover, Xu Sizhi’s freedom should not be restrained.

However, before Xu Qing could comfort Xu Xiang, she heard Leng Ning’er mock, “Brother Sizhi? How dare you call another man your brother in public? You’re even hugging him? Have you considered Sizhi’s dignity?”

This made Xu Xiang anxious. “Nonsense! Sizhi… is my brother!”

“Brother? You have so many brothers,” Leng Ning’er said maliciously.

“You…” Xu Xiang immediately widened her eyes and glared at her.

“Leng Ning’er!” Xu Sizhi interrupted in a cold voice and blocked in front of Xu Xiang. “Little Xiang is my fiancée. As long as she’s willing to, we’ll get married when she comes of age. I won’t allow anyone to hurt her.”

This was the first time Leng Ning’er had heard Xu Sizhi call her name, but he had such a cold attitude. This was the man she had been coveting for two years. Leng Ning’er’s face was filled with resentment as she retorted, “Fiancée! You’re saying that girl who looks like she’s underage is your fiancée! How old is she? Yet you’re already lusting after her, and she’s lusting after you. The two of you are really compatible. One is a pedophile, and the other is lusting after men at such a young age. Hehe, it’s hard to imagine what kind of upbringing you two have!”

Her sinister and malicious words goaded the public into criticizing Xu Sizhi. They couldn’t tell that he was actually a pedophile! How old was that little girl? Yet she was already lusting after men? What would she become like when she grew up? What a disgusting upbringing…

Upon hearing the discussions around her, Xu Xiang cried. What right did they have to criticize her and even insult her family?

“My sister is not someone you can discuss!” Xu Huai rushed over and slapped the person who was discussing the loudest.

When everyone saw this, they silently retreated. The rules were that they couldn’t hurt anyone here, but this person dared to do so. Mr. Bei Shu didn’t say anything, so it could be seen that these rules were for powerless people like them. They couldn’t afford to offend him, so they should just shut up.

Xu Sizhi was also enraged and looked at Leng Ning’er with killing intent. “Don’t think that I won’t dare to kill you just because you’re the princess of the Green Mountain Nation! I even dare to destroy your country! Don’t force me!”
