My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1219 - 1225: After Hardship Comes Sweetness

"Breaking into civilian homes, fighting, petty theft—all are reasons to send him to prison, where no one can jump around," Qiao Duo’er didn’t put it too bluntly.

However, Wen Qing was a smart man and immediately understood.

"You guys throw him on North Street."

Wen Qing commanded the shop’s assistant.

If they reported it to the authorities, today’s event would definitely spread, and Huo Minglan’s reputation would be completely ruined.

North Street was a slum inhabited by all sorts of people, and the Guang House hardly interfered, so theft, fighting, and murder were rampant.

Sending Niu Fuquan there, he wouldn’t die but would be severely injured.

Compared to the measures Niu Fuquan used against Huo Minglan, he was already being merciful.

After getting rid of Niu Fuquan, Wen Qing hurriedly embraced Huo Minglan, "Lan’er, it’s all my fault, I didn’t protect you well."

"I’m fine," Huo Minglan wiped away her tears.

Then, pulling Wen Qing, she knelt down in front of Duo’er, "Duo’er, we cannot thank you enough, just command us whenever you need our help in the future."

Only Duo’er could have stopped Niu Fuquan from tearing open her bodice just in time.

When Wen Qing was blinded by anger, it was also her who reminded him, thereby avoiding a greater disaster.

So no matter what, Duo’er was their benefactor.

Qiao Duo’er quickly lifted them up, "He’s a scoundrel, you’ll probably need to think of another way to completely resolve this trouble."

North Street was chaotic, but one or two times wouldn’t kill Niu Fuquan.

But Huo Minglan and her husband had to live their days, how could they always think about dealing with him?

Huo Minglan guiltily glanced at Wen Qing, knowing that it was never Wen Qing who failed to protect her but that she had always been dragging him down.

They were at the stage of discussing marriage, but she suddenly changed her mind and married into the Niu Family.

Wen Qing never blamed her and stayed loyally by her side.

She had just managed to escape the Niu Family, but the days of fear had just started.

Was this love?

Wen Qing read the expression in Huo Minglan’s eyes, and he immediately became anxious.

"Don’t talk nonsense, you saved my life when I was seven, and I am willing to do the same today."

When he was seven, he fell into a pond, and Huo Minglan immediately jumped in to rescue him, completely forgetting that she was barely a swimmer.

Later he was dragged ashore by her, but she fell severely ill and almost lost her life.

Since then, protecting this girl had become his lifelong mission.

Huo Minglan managed a faint smile, "That’s not what I meant. I’m thinking of turning the shop and the estate into silver, putting it under my nephew’s name until he’s of age to manage it himself."

This way, she could feel she had done right by her deceased sister and the Huo Family’s upbringing and lessen her guilt towards Wen Qing.

Life is short, there isn’t so much time to waste.

Wen Qing was so moved he couldn’t utter a word, as even his lips were trembling.

He... had finally reached this long-awaited day. frёeωebɳovel.com

Seeing the deep affection between the two, Qiao Duo’er cleared her throat, "The cooperation must continue, don’t forget the delivery tomorrow, I’ll take my leave now."

The ice drinks and candied pastries at Shang Xin Tower were selling well, guests would be disappointed without stock tomorrow.

"Rest assured, we will definitely supply enough." Huo Minglan managed a weak smile.

She couldn’t touch her sister’s dowry, and for now, the partnership with the Tan Family was her only income. If she didn’t handle it well, she might end up becoming a despicable person like Niu Fuquan.

Since she couldn’t earn her own, she would have to think of ways to snatch from others’ pockets.

Qiao Duo’er nodded, then left the space to Huo Minglan and Wen Qing.
