Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Tang Zizheng’s Determination
In the bedroom, Tang Zizheng finally came to his senses. He tried to sit up, but the pain in his chest made him breathless.

“Ugh…”

He groaned in pain, then gritted his teeth and sat up. Seeing that his upper body was covered with bandages and medicinal paste, Tang Zizheng slowly moved his limbs and body. As soon as he made a small movement, he broke into a cold sweat from the pain.

He clenched his hands and thought, ‘Who is that man? He actually broke my bone with one kick. Such a powerful man, what is his relationship with Xin’er?’

After sitting for a while, the pain in his body eased a little bit. He leaned against the wall and thought about the strange dream he had just had. Recalling what he saw and what the mysterious man said, Tang Zizheng felt that everything was too absurd.

After a long time, he shook his head and thought, ‘No. There must be some truth in this strange dream because I have experienced firsthand how my body was controlled by something invisible. But, how to change the future that the mysterious man showed me and how to free myself from this control remains a mystery.’

He sighed helplessly and looked up at the ceiling, ‘It seems that I need to stay away from Xin’er for a while until I find a way to get rid of the mysterious control over my body and emotions. Otherwise, I might really hurt her, and the future that mysterious man showed me might really happen.’

Having made his decision, Tang Zizheng closed his eyes tiredly and whispered determinedly, “I hope I’m not too late. Xin’er, please be safe. I will definitely protect you from Liang Jiaying.”

Just as Tang Zizheng was making plans, new rumors spread in Yunshan Village. Since the Chi family taught everyone how to grow crops indoors, the food shortage crisis was resolved, and the villagers had free time to relax. In addition to sleeping to pass the time, most women in the village love chatting the most.

A few hours after the incident in which Xuan Ruiquan kicked Tang Zizheng, everyone in Yunshan Village knew that Duan Yixin had brought back a man after she had been missing for three days. When Madam Chi went out to collect soil, several curious villagers came over.

A middle-aged woman lowered her voice and asked curiously, “Sister Wang, has Xin Niang really brought back a man after she has been missing for three days?”

Madam Chi was surprised when she heard this and said, “Sister, please be careful with your words. How could you say that about Xin Xin?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman’s daughter-in-law sneered and said, “Aunt Wang, when Xin Niang came back with that man this morning, everyone saw it. We also saw the two of them hugging each other and talking intimately. At that time, Chi Dalang is also beside them. If you don’t believe it, you can go back and ask your son.”

Before Madam Chi could defend Duan Yixin, Grandma Lu sighed and said, “Jiayi, ah. It is not that I want to say anything bad about Xin Niang. But everyone has seen it, and you still want to deny it. We all know you want to keep this news secret, but doesn’t your denial prove the rumors are true?”

Speaking of this, Grandma Lu seemed to realize something. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she asked in shock, “Did Xin Niang disappear for three days because she had eloped with this man? Has she lost her innocence?”

After hearing what Grandma Lu said, Madam Chi was stunned. When she came to her senses, Madam Chi’s face turned pale. If this accusation really falls on Duan Yixin, her future will be really ruined.

Those women who lost their innocence before marriage were either killed, sold to old men as concubines, or forced to marry the men who took their innocence. However, those men will not come forward and take responsibility because they fear it will ruin their reputations and ruin their futures. In most cases, only women suffer the consequences and lose their lives.

Seeing more and more villagers coming to join the conversation, Madam Chi made a quick decision and said, “Aunt Lu, don’t talk nonsense. Our Xin Xin is still pure, and her body is still intact. What’s more, that man is still her fiancé. As fiance and fiancée, sometimes showing affection is also normal. Don’t you think so?”

When she finished speaking, nobody believed her. This morning, they saw the man’s appearance and guessed that he must come from a wealthy family. Moreover, he was very handsome. When he stood next to the dirty and thin Duan Yixin, she looked like his servant. How could she be worthy to marry that man?

Just when Madam Chi wanted to say more to defend Duan Yixin’s innocence, Grandma Lu sighed and said, “Jieyi, ah. I know you are anxious, but how can you make up lies? Xin Niang just terminated her marriage engagement with Tang Erlang not long ago. It has only been half a month since then. Where did she find another fiancé? Could it be that she could pick up a fiancé just by going out?”

Upon hearing this, Madam Chi thought helplessly, ‘She can really pick up a man when she goes out.’

When the other villagers heard Grandma Lu’s words, they nodded in agreement. Actually, Grandma Lu had no ill intentions. She was just curious and wanted to know if there was any hope between Duan Yixin and her grandson. So, she asked a lot of questions to try to understand the situation.

However, for Madam Chi and the other villagers, her words had a very different meaning. Madam Chi knew that if she couldn’t convince these villagers, Duan Yixin’s future would be over.

After thinking for a few seconds, Madam Chi smiled and said, “Aunt Lu, look at what you said. The marriage engagement between Xin Xin and Tang Erlang was just a joke between Uncle Duan and the village chief. How can you take this matter seriously?”
