The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 46 (Part 2)
Chapter 46: Betrothed (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Qin-shi put her in her arms distressingly: “Don’t worry about it, although he was born in wealth, he doesn’t have the temperament of a young master. In such a big residence, there is only a daughter left by a wet nurse to take care of his daily life, which shows that his character is still good.”
Shu Wan didn’t care what happened to Cheng Qingran. Anyway, she would always have to get married, then just get married.
It was almost dusk, and Cheng Qingran personally sent the five people out and let Wei Da send them back to Qingshan Village. His eyes fell on Shu Wan faintly, but he saw she was wearing a hat and never looked at him.
Maybe shy?
Cheng Qingran didn’t think much about it. In the future, he would have plenty of time to spend with her. Now the most important thing was to deal with Zhao Dalang. As soon as with Shu Maoting’s approval, he found an opportunity to arrange two courtyard guards to take care of Zhao Dalang’s “funeral arrangements”. Look at the time, they should be back soon.
The next day, old lady Wan, who knew nothing about this, came to the door again, and Qin-shi received her warmly and naturally, expressing her willingness to marry the Cheng family.
In old lady Wan’s opinion, this answer was a matter of course. After saying a few good words, she received the reward and left for the Cheng residence to congratulate him. She never thought about how many twists and turns happened.
That night, both Shu Lan and Xiao Lang knew Shu Wan was going to marry Cheng Qingran.
Shu Lan didn’t know the concept of marriage very well. She only knew her older sister was going to marry her big brother, and then she was going to move there, so she was very reluctant. When she went to bed at night, she ran into Shu Wan’s quilt and hugged her. She whispered to her: “Sister, why do you have to move to someone else’s house when you get married? Can’t you let big brother move into our house? I can’t bear to let you go!”
Shu Wan stroked her younger sister’s long soft hair, and her low voice was a little erratic: “Women get married and men take a wife, this has been the case since ancient times, and there is no reason. Since your older sister will marry him, she will be a member of the Cheng family in this life... I can’t come back easily. But don’t worry, his home is in the town, and your older sister will try her best to treat him with respect and try to visit home more.” She did not dare to let her younger sister come to her. She was not afraid of anything, but just in case something happen.
Shu Lan leaned against her older sister’s shoulder, smelled her faint fragrance, and murmured, “What do you mean by treating him with respect?”
“That’s... I treat him well and he treats me well.” Shu Wan said softly, and thought in her heart, at least on the surface.
The married life she looked forward to in the past was to be like her parents, taking care of each other. Even if there was occasional small friction, they would understand each other. She probably couldn’t expect that from Cheng Qingran, right? All he saw was her charm.
The sleepiness hit and Shu Lan yawned, “Big brother is very nice. He will definitely be nice to my sister...” Gradually her eyes closed.
Shu Wan laughed self-deprecatingly. Seeing her younger sister was asleep, she gently placed her on the pillow next to her, then lay down, and looked at the dark night outside the window, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The conversation between the two sisters finally dissipated, and Xiao Lang turned over, feeling very irritable. He never imagined that Shu Wan would marry Cheng Qingran, that sanctimonious little white face! But he was only an outsider after all, a 10-year-old child, and he had no position to discourage this marriage. Besides, Shu Wan clearly knew Cheng Qingran was not a good man, but she still had to marry him. He was afraid there was a reason for marriage, right?
Blame Zhao Dalang, that scourge!
Xiao Lang clenched his fists bitterly. If he knew he should have killed him mercilessly. Tomorrow, look for another chance.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to attack Zhao Dalang again.
At noon the next day of the temple fair, the village head saw that his son had not returned home, and immediately drove to town. He thought his son was hanging out in the kiln all night, but he didn’t expect he couldn’t find any news about Zhao Dalang in the whole street. When he was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone say that the monks of Mount Gu Temple found an unidentified body that was bitten by a wild dog in the back of the mountain this morning. The master was asking the mayor to post a list asking someone to identify the corpse.
When the village head heard this, his old face was pale. He knew it must not be his son, but he still lost his soul and went to Mount Gu Temple with the crowd to watch the lively. He cut through the crowd and walked to the corpse. His eyes first fell on the pair of fabric shoes exposed outside the white cloth. He remembered it clearly. Yesterday morning, he handed the new pair of shoes to his son. Even though the shoes were now stained with blood, he still recognized them.
“Son, my son!”
The village head, who was nearly 50 years old, stumbled and rushed up, the sound of wailing made everyone sigh.

Cheng residence.
“Master, that man’s body was taken away by his father.” Wei Da reported in a low voice.
Cheng Qingran’s face didn’t change at all, he only said: “Send someone to watch the old man’s movements. If he is peaceful, don’t bother. If he has bad thoughts, just do it.”
“Yes.” Wei Da got the order and withdrew. Only at this time did he think his master was still the same master. He didn’t really take away all his hostility because he was in the countryside.
