Later, when Wang Xiaoting discovered that the driver was Wang Xiaozhu, her first reaction was to jump out of the carriage.
But Wang Xiaozhu was young and strong, giving Wang Xiaoting no chance to escape. In a couple of moves, he used the towel Wang Xiaoting had bought for Liu to gag her, dragging her into the deep mountains...
After the incident, he quickly left, returned the ox cart to his friend's house, then nonchalantly ate dinner there. It wasn't until the moon rose at night that he leisurely headed back.
On his way home, he thought to himself, if Wang Xiaoting came back and told the family about what he did, worst case, he'd marry her!
She had initially been brought up as a child bride in their family.
But when her short-lived young husband Wang Xiaoshan died, the Liu couple raised her as their daughter.
Now that she's grown, she might as well marry him. Such a talented girl marrying into the Wang family would be quite reputable.
No point in letting an outsider benefit.
