Chapter 263: Public Affection

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Zhang reported the investigation to Gong Tianhao. Xiao Zhang said excitedly, “Young master, there is really something.”

Gong Tianhao sat in the courtyard. Xiao Wang was with the Old Master. Xiao Zhang did most of the investigation.

“What is it?” Gong Tianhao asked.

“Zhang Chunjiao has an affair!” Xiao Zhang said, “Her adulterer is actually her old lover.

“Before she got married, she had an affair with him and was found out. Technically speaking, after they were found out, they should have gotten married, but the man already had a wife and family. After this was exposed, the family was humiliated, and so was the entire village.

“The young girl was caught in bed with a married man. Everyone in the nearby village knew about it. Zhang Chunjiao’s family wanted to marry her off, but no one wanted her.

“They had no choice but to ask a relative to introduce Zhang Chunjiao to someone far away. It was how she moved to Taoyuan Village. She married an old bachelor here.

“However, after Zhang Chunjiao got married, she was still restless. Even after she became a mother, she still had the itch. One time, when she went back to her maiden village, she met that adulterer again. The two of them quickly hooked up.

“This relationship has been going on until now.”

Gong Tianhao asked in puzzlement, “Has no one noticed?”

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, “How is that possible? It’s just that everyone has decided to turn a blind eye to it.”

When Gong Tianhao heard this, he knocked on the stone table with one hand and said with a cold smile on his face, “Now this is interesting. It’s time for the blind eye to see again. Xiao Zhang, go and make some arrangements.”

“Yes, eldest young master!” Xiao Zhang said respectfully. He could deal with the peasant woman easily. However, Xiao Zhang was always efficient. If he had to do something, he had to do it well.

Zhang Chunjiao had always been at odds with the Xiao family. In the past, it was fine.

But now that the Xiao family became more prominent, this narrow-minded woman definitely couldn’t bear to see them live a good life. There was one Zhang Xiaolan. In the future, there would be Li Xiaolan, Liu Xiaolan. Zhang Chunjiao was too dangerous to keep around.

Therefore, it was better to cut off such a dangerous person as soon as possible. It would save the Xiao Family from future trouble.

Gong Tianhao left the house.

...

The big fire had been put out, but it still burned down several strawberry fields.

Xiao Lingyu had people over to repair the greenhouses and remove the scorched strawberries. If they were left to rot, they would grow worms and infect the other strawberries.

“This is such a pity!” Seeing the charred strawberries, the people felt sorry.

“Why is Zhang Xiaolan so stupid to come to burn Lingyu’s field? What a sinner.”

“She’s really stupid. She trusted the woman after she said a few words. Now she is going to spend the rest of her life in prison.”

As people tidied up the burned field, they discussed the matter. Everyone felt that Zhang Xiaolan was simply crazy. She didn’t have any deep enmity with Xiao Zhengyang’s family, so why would she burn their fields?

“Who knows what Zhang Xiaolan, Zhang Chunjiao, and Liu Changnu have been talking about every day. But Zhang Xiaolan sure is dumb.”

“I wonder how many years she’ll be in prison for.”

“At least three years.”

“How do you know?”

“Those police officers said it last night. Arson is a sentence of at least three years in prison.”

“She’ll have to suffer for what she did.”

The villagers had been talking about Zhang Xiaolan since yesterday night.

Xiao Lingyu couldn’t care less about what these people were talking about.

She stood on the ridge of the field and narrowed her eyes when she saw the burnt sheds. They were all adjacent to Xiao Chengcai’s patch of land.

Early this morning, the police officers came to check out the crime scene and found that kerosene was doused around Xiao Chengcai’s land. That was proof that this was intentional arson.

Based on the property damage, Zhang Xiaolan would face a serious sentence.

However, Xiao Lingyu did not sympathize with her at all.

“What are you thinking about?”

Suddenly, a deep and sexy voice sounded in her ears. The breath touched her ears, and she instinctively stepped back in fright.

Xiao Lingyu screamed, giving the people around her a fright.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” Everyone raised their heads.

But when they saw the scene in front of them, they were so shocked that their mouths were wide open.

When Mother Xiao heard her daughter’s scream, she rushed over. “What’s wrong. Yu ‘Er...”

Mother Xiao saw the two hugging each other. Or rather, Gong Tianhao was holding Xiao Lingyu in his arms. His arm curled around Xiao Lingyu’s waist.

Mother Xiao’s emotions were a little complicated.

Gong Tianhao and Yan Siming were two outstanding young men. They didn’t mind the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach and wanted to pursue Xiao Lingyu.

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao had no problem, but they respected their daughter’s decision.

It had only been a short while since the confession competition of the two young men, but Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu were already hugging each other in public.

Mother Xiao was happy internally, but this was too much. Everyone was watching!

Mother Xiao purposely coughed twice.

Xiao Lingyu immediately reacted. She looked around and saw that everyone was staring at them with their eyes wide open.

Her face could not help but turn red. Then, she said in embarrassment, “Gong Tianhao, let go of me!” Her face was red. ‘This is so embarrassing!’

When Gong Tianhao saw Xiao Lingyu’s bashful look, his eyes deepened, and he reluctantly let go of Xiao Lingyu’s soft waist.

At this moment, Mother Xiao suddenly asked, “Yu’er, what happened? And why are you two hugging each other?” Mother Xiao asked in a low voice. She whispered because too many people were listening.

Xiao Lingyu patted her hot cheeks and took a deep breath. “Mom, don’t misunderstand! I almost fell to the ground when I missed my step. Gong Tianhao helped pull me.”

Mother Xiao looked at her suspiciously.

He was not pulling her. He was hugging her. Mother Xiao had eyes.

However, seeing the progress between Gong Tianhao and her daughter, she was both happy and worried.

After all, the relationship was progressing too quickly. Both parties should take some time to get to know each other first.

If Xiao Lingyu knew what her mother was thinking, she would definitely say, “Mom, it’s not what you think!”
