Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead’s Counterattack-Chapter 274 - Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.6)

Ch 274: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.6)

The du du du sound of Nian BingRong’s walking stick hitting the ground showed how stirred up he was at the moment.

XunMi’s eyes teared up a little. Raising her head up, she thought the original body’s investment in her family was worth it.

In the original story, in order to save Li Hua Province and the Nian family, her body’s owner married the head of the Northeastern Region’s Resistance Alliance Fellowship Army, a man in his fifties.

It was merely to assist Li Hua Province in strength, but in the end she was too naïve.

Not only did the Western Region fall into enemy hands, she herself also died in the war.

“Father-in-law, my wife definitely agreed to marry me. You can rest assured that you will all be invited on that day we kneel to the heavens and earth.”[1] Ziju BaiLin spoke like a gangster. Anyway, he would not let his wife go back.

Clearly she had already entered his home, how is it possible he would now spit her back out?

Nian BingRong and the others did not know how to respond. XunMi wanted to laugh at her husband’s anger. That he dared to speak these words showed he was prepared to play stupid to the end.

“Ziju BaiLin, you’re bullying my family behind my back.” The clear bright voice sounded neither pleased nor angry as high-heeled boots tapped down the wooden stairs. Presently, a red figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Today, XunMi wore a white wool dress, the surface of which was light and soft. On top, she wore a red cloak, her chestnut curls scattered casually over her shoulders, and on her head was the same white knit cap as the day before.

Unlike yesterday’s cute and charming appearance, today’s XunMi looked elegant and refined.

“XiaoMei!/Daughter!/Little Mi!” “Wife!” Amidst the normal voices mixing together, one voice sounded out especially unharmoniously. In a flash, four pairs of eyes were drawn to the speaker.

Ziju BaiLin would like to express, Look, look, it can’t hurt. In any case Wife is mine.

He quickly stepped forward, and fawningly helped XunMi down the stairs.

“Slow down, don’t fall. Ai, are your shoes ok to walk in? Otherwise you can wear mine.”

The obsequious manner of this bootlicker almost made the Nian family members’ eyes fall out.

What the fuck, was this still the same infuriating and unyielding person from a moment ago?

XunMi cast a sidelong glance at Ziju BaiLin, and Ziju BaiLin immediately shut his mouth, looking back at her pitifully.

Why is my wife being so fierce again? Clearly I’m being very well-behaved.

“Dad, Uncle, DaGe, have a seat,” XunMi called out with a smile after seeing them all standing around helplessly.

Ziju BaiLin scuttled to XunMi’s side, wanting to sit down.

XunMi tilted her head and beamed, “You stand next to me. We will wait to settle accounts slowly.”

“Yingyingying ~~~[2] Wife, you don’t love me anymore!” Ziju BaiLin complained tearfully while standing obediently at her side.

The Nian family had already lost their train of thought. Ha… this contrast was too much; they couldn’t bear it.

One moment he was a despotic local tyrant. The next moment he was quailing before their child’s instructions. Wasn’t he that bandit marshal?!!

XunMi ignored Ziju BaiLin. “Dad, why did you come over here so early? I was originally about to return…”

“What, Wife, you don’t want me? How can this be?” Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the obedient wallflower Ziju BaiLin, who pounced upon XunMi and held her tight.

Sure enough, these people had come to snatch his wife from him! Bad people! Next time he wouldn’t let the guards let them in.

XunMi smacked him and said unhappily: “If you’re not going back with me, then get lost!”

It was really not the day to straighten him out. Did he just want to rip the tiles off the roof?[3]

Ziju BaiLin’s eyes brightened, and he planted a slobbery kiss on XunMi’s face.

“I just knew Wife was the best. I’ll immediately have MuCheng go prepare the betrothal gifts to bring to your parental home.”

Regardless of the few people who came to grab his wife, he now had more important matters, that is, to marry his wife and bring her home.

Watching Ziju BaiLin walk away, the Nian family finally snapped out of it.

“Daughter, have you really decided?” Nian BingRong didn’t know whether to console the child or …

XunMi nodded and showed a genuine smile. “Dad, Ziju BaiLin is a person who, once he makes a decision, he won’t give it up. He is worth my waiting for him, and I also believe he will not fail to live up to my expectations.”

She paused, then continued: “In these troubled times, I do not ask for anything else, just that when I have the ability, I want to enable the Nian family to walk an easier and smoother road. These past few years, I have learned a lot of things abroad, and I want to apply them to our people. This country belongs to everyone, and it does no one any good for it to be destroyed.” Only if all people are united can they overcome all difficulties.

“XiaoMei, did that bandit threaten you? Don’t be afraid to speak out. DaGe will protect you with my life.” Nian WenHao was very angry. His cute little sister must have been bullied by that Ziju BaiLin guy.

XunMi got up, took Nian WenHao’s hand, and met his eyes, her own filled with earnestness and seriousness. “DaGe, I like him very much. He didn’t force me or threaten me. Just now I think you should all have been able to see that he treats me sincerely, otherwise he wouldn’t condescend to lower himself in front of me.”

When speaking about Ziju BaiLin, there was a tenderness in her eyes that even she was not aware of.

Looking at such a XunMi, both Nian BingRong and Nian WenHao clearly realized XunMi was firmly resolved.

People who have never been headstrong will also have times of willfulness.

They couldn’t refuse and couldn’t bear to let her down.

She held her father’s arm, “Dad, don’t worry, your daughter won’t let herself suffer.” There was an irresistible self-confidence about her, a radiance no one could ignore.

“Just tell your dad if there’s anything. Dad will definitely give you justice.” Nian BingRong sighed and patted his daughter’s hand. She was his only daughter; how could he not wish for her happiness?

Nian WenHao also tacitly agreed. If worst came to worst, he would be watching Ziju BaiLin. If he dared to let his little sister down, he would grab that guy and beat him up.

“Wife, Wife, everything is prepared, let’s go!” Ziju BaiLin came in with a whirl of energy and squatted in front of XunMi, his face looking at her expectantly.

That guy MuCheng did a great job this time. Last night, he had prepared the betrothal gifts for him.

XunMi nodded and said, “Dad, Uncle, DaGe, let’s go home. Mom and Aunt must have been waiting for a long time.”

The group walked to the door and saw that there were six black armored cars parked outside, followed by a military vehicle. The military vehicle was full of things, all tied up with red silk, and the silk floated every time the wind blew.

MuCheng stood in line with two teams of soldiers standing in formation, waiting for the people to come out.

Seeing Nian BingRong coming, he immediately approached and opened the door for him with a respectful attitude.

Nian BingRong took Nian YanHui and Nian WenHao to sit inside, thinking that XunMi would also join them. In the end, he saw Ziju BaiLin carry her onto a white horse that was being led by someone.

Translator’s Notes

[1] Day of marriage. For those who haven’t read enough historical romance c-novels, a traditional marriage ceremony has the bride and groom bow/kowtow to the heavens, to the parents, and to each other. Her family should of course be present.

[2] Apparently this is the sound of birds trilling, but I assume he’s whining (like a dog).

[3] Ripping the tiles off the roof means to be naughty. The whole idiom is: three days without a beating, and a child will scale the roof to rip the tiles. Similar to “spare the rod, spoil the child.” It comes from a story about a couple of naughty children. The father broke his leg so the mother had to do all of the field work, so she was too tired to discipline the children. One night, the mother woke up to find rain falling into the house, and after turning on the light, discovered that some of the tiles on the roof had been removed by her naughty children. A beating naturally followed.
