Your Xiao Mo passed the provincial examination!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruxue, you'll be a provincial graduate's wife from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Xiao Mo becomes a high official later, you mustn't let him forget us aunties!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aunties chattered one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue's eyes lit up as she asked happily, \"Did Xiao Mo really pass?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! Not only did Xiao Mo pass, he's also the top scholar or something? He came first, and even the county magistrate came!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruxue, you didn't see how polite the county magistrate was to Xiao Mo. Usually it's only others who are that polite to the county magistrate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the aunties' praise of Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue felt sweet inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue didn't know what passing the provincial examination meant but she knew that Xiao Mo had accomplished what he wanted to do, and he must be very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xiao Mo was happy, then she was happy too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Ruxue was about to run home, planning to cook him a delicious meal to celebrate properly, Widow Wang from the north of the village saw Bai Ruxue and hurried over, \"Ruxue, this is terrible! The county magistrate is arranging a marriage for Xiao Mo, wanting to marry his own daughter to him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" All the aunties were stunned at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Chen was the first to react, saying to Widow Wang, \"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you hear such rumors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What rumors!\" Widow Wang slapped her thigh. \"I just happened to overhear when I passed by Brother Mo's courtyard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruxue, don't worry. Maybe Wang Mei heard wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, Ruxue. You take such good care of Xiao Mo, he definitely won't let you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone quickly comforted Bai Ruxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had seen how well Bai Ruxue cared for Xiao Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's what we say, but that's still the county magistrate's precious daughter. If I were Brother Mo...\" At this moment, a young woman muttered nearby but she only got halfway through her words before being glared at by the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Chen, Aunt Wang, I... I'm fine,\" Bai Ruxue smiled slightly. \"Xiao Mo passed the provincial examination, I should be happy. I'll go cook for him to celebrate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue smiled at everyone, then walked forward but looking at the girl's somewhat dejected back, everyone knew Bai Ruxue couldn't possibly be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could be done about such a situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruxue was indeed beautiful, but she was just a girl from an ordinary family after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any man would find it impossible to refuse the county magistrate's daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue walked on the road home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know what kind of feeling was in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind just felt very confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She naturally knew what marriage meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marriage meant a man and woman being together, never to be separated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Xiao Mo marries another woman, would I have to leave Xiao Mo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will Xiao Mo agree to the county magistrate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will Xiao Mo not want me anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more confused Bai Ruxue's thoughts became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Ruxue was about to reach the courtyard, she saw Xiao Mo bidding farewell to a man in official robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue quickly hid behind a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how happily the two men were conversing, Bai Ruxue's heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Xiao Mo already agreed to marry his daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the county magistrate left did Bai Ruxue slowly stand up and return to the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruxue, you're back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have good news to tell you. I passed the provincial examination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruxue, what's wrong? Did something happen?\" Seeing Bai Ruxue keeping her head down, Xiao Mo couldn't help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing... I'm fine... I... I'll go cook for you and celebrate properly today.\" Bai Ruxue shook her head and ran into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Bai Ruxue came out carrying the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo looked at the mouth-watering chicken that looked, smelled, and tasted perfect, and eagerly took a bite, only to nearly choke from the saltiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Mo, what's wrong?\" Bai Ruxue quickly poured him a cup of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try it yourself,\" Xiao Mo served her a piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue took a bite and her face immediately turned green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ptui, ptui, ptui!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue quickly spat out the chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... I accidentally shook my hand and put in too much salt. Xiao Mo, eat this.\" Bai Ruxue served him some vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo took a bite of the vegetables, his expression also complex, \"Ruxue, did you forget to put salt in the vegetables?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Then try this.\" Bai Ruxue served him a piece of rabbit meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This rabbit meat is too sour, isn't it?\" Xiao Mo couldn't handle it. \"How much vinegar did you put in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I'll go cook for you again.\" Bai Ruxue ran to the kitchen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second meal Bai Ruxue made was acceptable but while eating, Bai Ruxue seemed absent-minded, mechanically shoveling white rice into her mouth without remembering to eat the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While washing dishes, Bai Ruxue broke two plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While hanging clothes, Bai Ruxue would put clothes on the drying rod, then take them down and put them back in the basin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While cleaning the courtyard, she swept the same spot over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo was certain she had something on her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At nightfall, after dinner, Bai Ruxue didn't return to her room to sleep, just sat in the courtyard looking up at the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo came out of his room, picked up a book, and gently patted Bai Ruxue's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue was startled, her peach blossom eyes glaring at Xiao Mo coquettishly, \"You scared me to death! What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be asking you what you're doing. You've been listless all day. Tell me quickly, what happened?\" Xiao Mo asked with mock seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I haven't...\" Bai Ruxue turned her little head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really nothing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then,\" Xiao Mo sighed. \"I thought I was important in your heart, that you would tell me everything. Seems I was being presumptuous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiao Mo turned around dejectedly to return to his room, Bai Ruxue gently grasped the corner of his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman kept her head down and said softly, \"No... it's not like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why won't you tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I...\" Bai Ruxue hesitated, almost burying her head in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo wasn't in a hurry, just waited for her answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Mo.\" The girl seemed to summon all her courage, raised her head, and asked nervously, \"The county magistrate wants to marry his daughter to you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you know?\" Xiao Mo was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I heard about it!\" Bai Ruxue's eyes wavered. \"Are you going to marry her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does Miss Bai think I should do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue lowered her head again, falling into silence, her small hands gently fidgeting with the corner of his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the woman's voice was as soft as the evening breeze, \"I... I don't want you to marry her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silly girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo pinched the woman's tender little face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won't marry her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1231,"2026-06-06T14:16:53.143Z",1,"novelbin.me","eceb09bd16f45bfe87ec540c50aff8c95c2a0a3d991ccf06e0580b762952bee0","we-agreed-on-experiencing-life-so-why-did-you-im-chapter-39","we-agreed-on-experiencing-life-so-why-did-you-im-chapter-37",451,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwe-agreed-on-experiencing-life-so-why-did-you-im-cover.jpg"]
