Wen Ruhua angrily sped up, but there was no way human legs could beat horse legs. Even if Wen Ruhua’s third little leg was added on, there was no use.
In the end, since he couldn’t do anything about the carriage following him, he decided to ignore them.
Yue Lan lifted the curtain to look at Wen Ruhua, then she asked Ning Shu, “Miss, is there something wrong with that person’s brain?”
“No, he just feels like he’s the most pitiful person on earth and is indulging in his own sorrows,” replied Ning Shu mildly. He had, just because of an unworthy woman, thrown away his future.
No, it should be said that he had abandoned his entire life. He left home without paying any heed to the fate of his aging parents and came to this remote village to teach. With how uninspiring his personality was, how would his students turn out?
In the storyline, Mu Yanmeng had fallen down a cliff while trying to escape from the assassins Li Yufei sent and ended up being rescued by Wen Ruhua, who had been out picking herbs. Although she survived, since she had been disfigured and her body was full of injuries left by torture, she was a horrible sight.
The most beautiful woman in the world had now ended up an ugly monster. Mu Yanmeng had no choice but to wear a veil everyday in order to cover up her features.
Mu Yanmeng’s heart had already gone numb due to all the events, so she didn’t care that she had been disfigured. Some part of her even felt that her appearance was what caused everything.
Wen Ruhua didn’t drive Mu Yanmeng out after she recovered, so the two started living together.
Their relationship was quiet and calm. Mu Yanmeng was grateful to Wen Ruhua for saving her, so she helped him with household chores like laundry, chopping firewood, and making food.
From time to time, Mu Yanmeng would bring meals to the school but Wen Ruhua’s students would jeer at her and call her ugly. Some more bold and mischievous students would even throw rocks at her.
Wen Ruhua felt that Mu Yanmeng was making him lose face in front of the students, so he told her not to ever come to the school again, or else he would chase her out.
Mu Yanmeng was hurt. The difference in treatment she received now was a great shock.
Although she had become disfigured, her eyes were still enchantingly clear and bright. Whenever someone gazed into them, their soul would tremble from the beauty.
Due to her eyes, the village chief’s son took a liking to her. This local tyrant wasn’t very picky and said that though she was disfigured, her eyes were extremely beautiful. And as for women, once the lights were off and the blankets were on, it was all the same.
When Wen Ruhua heard about this, he coldly mocked Mu Yanmeng for going around and continuing to seduce men even with such ugly looks. He was like, so all women liked seducing men with power.
The village chief’s son did count as someone with power in the village. It caused Wen Ruhua to recall his cousin, the cousin that betrayed him to become the madame of a wealthy family. He raged, why were all women so ungrateful and heartless?
Wen Ruhua didn’t get along well with the village chief’s son. If it weren’t for the fact that he was the only teacher in the village, this village tyrant would have already gotten rid of him.
Wen Ruhua held a grudge against anyone that had power and influence, so he disliked the village chief’s son a lot and viewed him as a rural tyrant. He hated him, but he didn’t dare to say it outright. Meanwhile, this village tyrant just felt that there was something wrong with Wen Ruhua’s head.
