Then, Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan heard from Lin Wuqiang that An Jing and Xiao Changyi were moving today.
Lin Luye immediately stood up and said, "Then Shuangquan and I will go take a look."
Lin Wuqiang immediately tried to stop them in fear, "No! Xiao Changyi is too skilled in martial arts, and An Jing has also become extremely aggressive. Even if there are no government officials patrolling the village, we would not dare to provoke them. You better not go and watch, lest trouble arises. Lord County Magistrate has said, if there’s another disturbance, he will not let it go lightly!"
Lin Luye said with a reassuring smile, "Dad, Shuangquan and I are just going to have a look, not to cause trouble. There won’t be any problems, so don’t worry." She just wanted to find some sense of superiority.
Without waiting for Lin Wuqiang’s reaction, Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan left the house and headed towards the thatched cottage of An Jing and Xiao Changyi.
Pan Shuangquan also wanted to see if An Jing’s situation was really as good as Lin Wuqiang had said.
The thatched cottage.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi were in the midst of moving, just as they had worked together to place a large chest on the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, they saw Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan approaching them.
An Jing immediately sneered in her heart: She hadn’t gone to Pan Family Village to settle scores with them, yet they had delivered themselves to her doorstep for a reckoning. Good!
Although Xiao Changyi had been away for eight years, and it had been over eight months since his return, during this time, he had not met Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan, so naturally, he did not recognize them.
But he did know of Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan’s existence.
This was thanks to An Jing mentioning them one time, letting him know that the broken engagement had been all Lin Luye’s doing.
"Those are Pan Shuangquan and Lin Luye," An Jing said in a low voice to Xiao Changyi.
Xiao Changyi’s cool gaze immediately shrank slightly.
"My husband, how do you think I should deal with them?" An Jing asked with a smile in a hushed voice while helping Xiao Changyi tie the chest to the ox cart.
"As you wish," he paused, then added, "If they die, it’s on me."
An Jing wasn’t particularly moved by the first part, but upon hearing what Xiao Changyi added about the responsibility for death, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Oh, her dear husband...
The smile had not yet faded from An Jing’s face when Lin Luye and Pan Shuangquan arrived.
The moment Lin Luye saw An Jing clearly, she clenched her teeth. She hadn’t expected Lin Anjing to change so much. Not only had her skin become fair and tender, but she had also put on some weight, no longer looking so scrawny, and actually quite attractive.
More attractive than her!
Lin Anjing had been so average before! Not at all comparable to her! That was why she had so easily seduced Pan Shuangquan back then. Pan Shuangquan also thought she was more attractive than Lin Anjing! But now!
Looking at the radiant An Jing, Pan Shuangquan was taken aback and struggled to recognize her. Lin Anjing used to be sallow and emaciated, not ugly, but certainly not attractive, which was why he had readily accepted Lin Luye’s flirtations. But now, he genuinely found An Jing attractive.
Moreover, there was something different about An Jing’s aura. He didn’t know how to describe it, but he felt she didn’t resemble a farmer’s daughter. She drew people’s attention, like a glowing body, simply incomparable to Lin Luye, the country bumpkin.
He was somewhat regretful about calling off the engagement.
As for why it was only somewhat, of course, it was because Lin Anjing was barren. Even if he married her for her looks, it would be useless, so there was only some regret.
