Chapter 170 The protagonist's fiancée who has fallen in love with someone else 3
After Zheng Jinheng returned from the imperial city, he used the money he had on him to build a small courtyard at the foot of Shan Gu Village and lived a secluded life.
In this remote mountain village, no one knows his identity and he lives a comfortable life.
Of course, it would be much better if Ran Xiyue and Shen Jiaojiao didn't harass me from time to time.
Every time he goes out, he always meets these two people.
It was fine in the first two years, but in the last two years, the two of them have blocked him more and more often.
Whenever he went out, no matter where he went, he would always meet two people.
Zheng Jinheng frowned and his voice became much colder as he looked at Shen Jiaojiao who was standing in front of him.
"Miss Shen, if you have nothing else, please leave. I still need to go up the mountain."
Shen Jiaojiao bit her lip and stomped her feet, saying a little unwillingly.
"Brother Xu, can't you really feel my feelings for you?"
Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to be so hasty, but she was already seventeen years old this year. In this era, it was common for people to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
She was able to wait until she was seventeen to get married because her parents truly loved her.
She is already seventeen years old this year, and it would be unreasonable if she didn't get married.
She knew everyone in the village, but they were all illiterate and rude, and none of them pleased her.
As early as the first time she saw Zheng Jinheng five years ago, she fell in love with him.
Her whole heart fell on Zheng Jinheng, and she had been trying to bring them closer in recent years.
The Shen family also saw Zheng Jinheng's extraordinaryness, and everyone was happy to see Shen Jiaojiao's idea come true.
They have already thought about it. If Shen Jiaojiao and Zheng Jinheng become together, it will be a happy thing for everyone.
But Zheng Jinheng refused to budge. Five years passed, and Shen Jiaojiao hadn't made any progress, but Zheng Jinheng refused to respond.
The only thing that makes them feel balanced is that Zheng Jinheng treats everyone in the village the same.
Even though he was their savior, Ran Xiyue's family was still cold to him.
..............................
When Shen Jiaojiao learned that it was Ran Xiyue who saved Zheng Jinheng, she regretted it for a long time, wondering why she didn't save him?
What she didn't know was that if Ran Xiyue hadn't intervened, she would have been the one to save Zheng Jinheng.
Before Ran Xiyue was transported across time, she was definitely the heroine.
Now with Ran Xiyue's arrival, everything is different.
It’s hard to say how things will develop next.
Shen Jiaojiao and Ran Xiyue have not gotten along since they were young.
Not only were they born on the same day, they were also equally loved at home.
The villagers often compare the two.
Comparing appearance, comparing diligence...
Ran Xiyue has a bright and aggressive appearance.
Shen Jiaojiao is just like her name, as delicate as Fu Feng, and people in Jiang want to protect her.
Shen Jiaojiao occasionally heard people say that she was not as good as Ran Xiyue.
Every time she heard this, she felt uncomfortable.
She thought that she was better than Ran Xiyue in both appearance and temperament.
The young men in the village couldn't take their eyes off her when they saw her.
On the contrary, Ran Xiyue has a bad reputation, so the guys would take a detour when they see her.
Each and every one of these things proves that she is better than Ran Xiyue.
She felt that the villagers were blind and that was why they thought she was inferior to Ran Xiyue.
The two girls that the girls in Shan Gu Village envy the most are Ran Xiyue and Shen Jiaojiao.
They dream of becoming Shen Jiaojiao and Ran Xiyue.
They have never been outside and don't know what life is like for girls there.
In their impression, having new clothes and having enough food to eat is a good life.
They have to help with housework at a young age, work themselves to death every day and don't even have enough to eat, while Ran Xiyue and Shen Jiaojiao don't have to do anything and have all kinds of delicious food every day.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jinheng took two steps back unnoticeably before speaking seriously.
"Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I have someone I like."
Zheng Jinheng was helpless. He had said many times that he had someone he liked.
But the two girls, Shen Jiaojiao and Ran Xiyue, seemed not to understand what he was saying and kept running out to block him.
He was poisoned and had only a few years to live. He didn't want to hurt innocent people, not to mention that he still had someone in his heart.
He told them that he had someone he liked and it was not a lie.
He likes Princess Wen'an Chu Fuling.
He didn't go back because he knew he was not worthy of Princess Wen'an.
But he really didn't want to accept it.
He was almost there, just a little bit away from happiness.
But………
It can only be said that fate has its way with people.
Shen Jiaojiao took a step forward, blinking her peach blossom eyes, and spoke word by word as she looked at Zheng Jinheng.
"Brother Xu, I don't care. As long as I can marry you, I'm willing to be your concubine."
Shen Jiaojiao grew up in such an environment in ancient times and believed that it was natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
Everything she said came from her heart.
She really likes Zheng Jinheng.
The reason why Shen Jiaojiao said this was because Zheng Jinheng was not only handsome, but also a good hunter. When other people in the village did not have enough to eat, he could eat meat every day.
More importantly, Shen Jiaojiao didn't believe that Zheng Jinheng really had someone he liked, and thought he was just making up a lie to reject her.
But Shen Jiaojiao really didn't care, she just wanted to marry Zheng Jinheng.
...........................
After five years, Shen Jiaojiao hadn't seen anyone come to see him.
Zheng Jinheng just felt that Shen Jiaojiao was unreasonable and could not make sense. He did not intend to continue talking to her. He was afraid that if he continued talking, he would not be able to control himself and would take action.
Although he was poisoned and only had one tenth of his internal strength left, he still had no problem protecting himself.
He walked around Shen Jiaojiao and prepared to leave. When Shen Jiaojiao saw him leaving, she reached out to grab him anxiously.
Feeling Shen Jiaojiao's movement, he dodged sideways at an extremely fast speed.
Ran Xiyue ran over and just saw Shen Jiaojiao raising her hand to grab Zheng Jinheng, and she immediately became furious.
This is the person she likes.
She didn't expect that when she wasn't paying attention, Shen Jiaojiao came to harass Zheng Jinheng.
She stood between the two of them with her hands on her hips. She first checked on Zheng Jinheng to make sure he was okay, then turned her gaze to Shen Jiaojiao.
"Shen Jiaojiao, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stop bothering Brother Xu?"
Shen Jiaojiao retorted unconvincedly.
"Why? Ran Xiyue, who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"
"You...don't you even look at yourself? Are you worthy of Brother Xu?"
"Why am I unworthy? You, on the other hand, are relying on my life-saving grace to interfere in Brother Xu's affairs. What are you thinking?"
Neither of them gave in, and they started cursing at each other.
While the two were arguing with each other, Zheng Jinheng quietly went up the mountain with his backpack on his back.
He can't afford to offend, so he can only hide.
By the time the two of them reacted, the person had disappeared.
After leaving the two of them, Zheng Jinheng began to consider whether he should leave.
In addition to Ran Xiyue and Shen Jiaojiao, there were many people who came to propose marriage to him.
He had refused many times, but people still came. There was even a young lady from a wealthy family in the city who wanted to rob him. If he had not been so skilled, he might have been robbed by the lady.
Five years passed, and except for returning to the Imperial City at the beginning, he never went back again. In order to escape, he even did not pay attention to the news from the Imperial City.
He wondered if he should go back and take a look.
