Chapter 36: The Profligate Lady (8) He doesn’t understand, this is related to green…

At night, Zhang Ruochen stood in the main courtyard of Zhang's Tea House, staring at the moon in the sky.

The woman's stubborn face always appeared before his eyes.

From that day on, she was determined to leave, and until today, she refused to ask him for help.

Haha, that’s really Yun Kexin’s personality, fierce and stubborn.

A wolf with ungrateful eyes.

Zhang Ruochen stared blankly into space. Feng Yunyan came over with the child in her arms and brought the child to Zhang Ruochen, trying to cheer him up.

He was in a bad mood, with a sullen face and no reaction.

Feng Yunyan was stunned for a moment, then asked the nanny to take the child back to the room to rest, and stayed in the courtyard to watch the moon with Zhang Ruochen.

The moon was so beautiful, so yellow, like the handkerchief that woman had once used...

Zhang Ruochen was stunned.

"The owner of the manor was at the Li family today. Did you manage to reach an agreement?"

After she asked this, Zhang Ruochen withdrew his thoughts from the moon and glanced at Feng Yunyan indifferently.

The Li family runs a teahouse business in the town. Although it is not a big business, they are popular and have a wide network of contacts. They are old acquaintances of several teahouse owners in the town.

Zhang Ruochen went to the Li family today to discuss cooperation, hoping that the Li family would take the lead and encourage teahouses in the town to cooperate with Zhang's Tea House to develop a new tea art of blending tea.

Unexpectedly, the business deal was not concluded, but a farce occurred.

He shook his head and said to Feng Yunyan in a dull mood, "Let's go another day."

Seeing that the owner of the manor looked unhappy, Feng Yunyan asked again, "Is there anything on your mind?"

Zhang Ruochen shook his head, then as if he had thought of something, he asked Feng Yunyan, "Did you see that woman at the Wang family a few days ago?"

When Feng Yunyan heard the three words "woman", her heart tightened.

She looked at Zhang Ruochen nervously and nodded, "Yes."

"Did Yunyou ridicule her?"

Feng Yunyan's heart tightened again. How could the events of that day have reached the ears of the manor owner? Her face turned pale, her heartbeat instantly increased several times, and she spoke incoherently, "Manor owner, that day... that day..."

Before she could finish, Zhang Ruochen interrupted her, saying, "Good ridicule."

He looked at the night sky, his words clear, "A woman like this deserves to be looked down upon by the world, to be humiliated, to suffer nightmares, and to be doomed forever!"

He clenched his back teeth so tightly that he could almost hear the sound of thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

If she was doomed, she would at least bow her head to him...

Feng Yunyan's eyes, which had been frightened just now, suddenly lit up, and she looked at Zhang Ruochen with much more tenderness.

Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked at the woman who had given birth to his children. Thinking of that woman, who was bad, wild, and unfaithful, he felt a tightness in his heart.

He looked at Feng Yunyan's gentle and kind face and said, "Give orders that no one in the mansion is allowed to help that woman, otherwise they will be beaten to death."

Feng Yunyan nodded, "Yes."

I wanted to say something more to please the owner, but he waved his hand and said, "Go down. I'm tired. I'll sleep in the study tonight."

The brilliance in Feng Yunyan's eyes froze, and instantly turned into disappointment. After hesitating for a moment, she didn't dare to say anything, and could only nod, "Yes."

…

The old injury on Liu Binghai's palm relapsed, and blood appeared on the gauze.

But this is a small matter. He Chuanxiong changed her medicine and she will recover in a few days.

It's just that I've been running around and working hard these past few days, and my health hasn't been very good to begin with. These few basins of cold water poured on me today have completely irritated me. Now I feel cold all over, have a splitting headache, and am shivering all over, with cold sweat all over.

Little Mole followed all the way to the thatched cottage, surrounded the drifting ice sea, and muttered, "It will take a few days for this to heal."

Inside the thatched house, Liu Binghai was wrapped in a quilt, shivering, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead uncontrollably. In just a short while, his lips turned pale, and his whole body was bloodless.

He Chuanxiong prepared a bowl of medicine to dispel evil spirits for her, "I'm afraid you won't be able to recover in a few days."

"What disease does my sister have?"

He Chuanxiong glanced at the drifting ice sea.

This woman, with her heart full of worries, was stubbornly resentful and she must have contracted an evil disease.

There was an evil fire stuck in my heart, unable to go up or down.

It's normal. It's normal to feel angry when something like this happens.

But who told her to live a good life and do such a stupid thing? What's wrong with the young master of the Zhang family? He just married a concubine. Why did he ask her to go out and find a lover?

He really couldn't help it and asked her privately once why she wanted to meet someone else outside.

In what way is Master Zhang inferior to others?

She just said coldly: He is allowed to marry a concubine, but I can't find a lover?

After saying that, he added: He was the one who betrayed me first, he deserves to be cuckolded.

He didn't understand what this had to do with the green hat. When he asked her, she stopped talking and was as stubborn as a donkey.

Today, seeing her become like this, he wanted to ask her again, who was the cause of this evil fire in her heart?

Liu Binghai was trembling, dizzy and his mind was not very clear.

But she knew that there was a chicken that was always in front of her, and it looked very concerned.

It seemed as if he was trying hard to squeeze in front of Xiaozhi and He Chuanxiong.

"I'm fine..." She said to the chicken in a trance, trying to tell it not to worry.

Seeing her talking to the chicken, Xiao Mole found it interesting and asked Liu Binghai, "Sister, are you talking to the chicken?"

After talking to the chicken, Liu Binghai was out of energy and didn't want to pay any attention to the young boy.

She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, she seemed to be back to the farm. The man with the bowl-cut hair was standing in the farm, smiling at her foolishly, treating her like his little ancestor and unwilling to let her suffer any hardship.

She felt a little sad, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore, but she still couldn't open her eyes.

"Bowl cut." She couldn't help but mutter, and a tear suddenly fell.

She wants a bowl cut.

I want to spend carefree and happy days with him.

She had never thought that she would cry. She hadn't cried for a long time. She had never cried in her own world or in the world of the mission.

Now, when I am so sick, I feel a sudden shock in my heart when I think of the person who handed me hot water at that time.

Sure enough, when people are sick, they will think of all the people and things in the past... and become sensitive and fragile.

Bowl-cut girl… She called out softly again, her voice so gentle that almost no one could hear it.

The chicken's eyeballs twitched twice, and it looked at the drifting ice sea with an alert look.

After a while, she fell asleep.

He Chuanxiong covered her with a quilt and sat down with the little beggar.

The little beggar didn't understand why his sister lived such a miserable life and had to carry it all on her own.

Look at her current state, wouldn't it be nice if someone could give her some comfort?

He had been following her on behalf of Brother Zhan these days. Today, he saw her enter the Li family's gate and never come out again. Later, when he heard some chaotic noises, he knew that her condition was not good.

Hurry up and go to the He family to ask Brother He for help.

But he just couldn't understand, since she had been exchanging letters with Brother Zhan first and was kicked out of the Zhang family, why did she stubbornly refuse to be with Brother Zhan?

Are you afraid of offending that guy named Zhang?

He asked Brother He, "Why doesn't Sister Yun stay with Brother Zhan?"

He Chuanxiong thought for a moment and said, "I don't think she loves you, Brother Zhan."

The little beggar frowned, "Then who does she love..."

The rooster suddenly turned around and glared at the two of them arrogantly.

It seems to want to say: Love me.

He Chuanxiong and Xiaozhi looked at each other helplessly.

The two men were guarding the drifting ice sea, sitting on the ground and chatting. Anyway, she already had a bad reputation, and she could bear the bad reputation after being taken care of by men for a few days.

But He Chuanxiong was curious about Xiao Zhi, "Why do you always follow her?"

"Hmm?" The little beggar looked at He Chuanxiong eagerly.

"Just to help your brother Zhan?" He Chuanxiong looked at the little beggar with a smile, then stroked his head and said, "Then I advise you not to waste your energy."

"Why!"

He Chuanxiong still said: "She doesn't love you, Brother Zhan."

The little beggar was just about to ask who she loved, but before he could ask, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the He family compound.

The two looked at each other and waited for a while, but the knocking on the door continued.

He Chuanxiong opened the door and the person who came in was a little girl.

She was wearing a collar and carrying a bag in her hand. When she saw He Chuanxiong, she didn't bother to say anything. After bowing to him, she hurriedly ran to the back of the yard.

She ran to the thatched house and saw the pale-faced Liu Binghai. She took off her scarf and burst into tears instantly.

It’s Zhen’er.

She has been with Liu Binghai for many years and has some feelings for him.

Seeing her master like this, she dropped her bag, rushed over to the drifting ice seabed, and said, "Master, Master, are you okay?"

The chicken came over and moved closer to Zhen'er, with an expression that said, "She's fine as long as I'm here."

Liu Binghai was still asleep. He heard the noise, opened his eyes, saw Zhen'er, and smiled.

There was no trace of blood on the pale little face.

Zhen'er cried, "Master, Master, how are you? I brought you something."

After saying that, she opened the bundle, which contained some food and daily necessities, as well as some small change she had saved up, and brought them all to Liu Binghai.

Although Yun Kexin has an arrogant personality, she has always been kind to her servants. Her arrogance is only directed at the people she loves.

Liu Binghai looked at him and wanted to say something, but he felt too weak. In the end, he could only smile and fell asleep again.

Zhen'er looked at her master, cried for a while, and then thanked the young master of the He family.

She was crying and kneeling, and He Chuanxiong was so scared that he quickly helped her up.

After getting up, Zhen'er looked at her master lying on the sickbed, still feeling distressed. She frowned and muttered, "If it weren't for the bullying of her family, my master, my master would never have fallen to this point..."

As I thought about it, tears rolled down my cheeks again.

He Chuanxiong was stunned, not understanding what the girl meant.

"Are you referring to the matter of my wife being repaired?"

Zhen'er felt that she had let the cat out of the bag, but now that her master had fallen into the trap of selling bad luck for a living, there was nothing left to keep secret.

She wiped her tears, nodded, looked at the sky outside, and sighed.

"My master was originally a very simple girl." Zhen'er said with tears in her eyes and a choked throat, sobbing.

What a pity, what a pity, she was born in a chaotic family by mistake, her father is useless, her aunt is cruel, and her biological mother is a weak person who is hesitant and doesn't even dare to protect her own daughter.

No matter how weak the concubines of other families are, if their children are in trouble, they will always come forward to protect them. Even if their legs and feet are broken, they cannot bear to see their children being bullied by the people in the mansion.

But her biological mother was so weak that she would rather live by clinging to food.

One day, Yun Kexin was wrongly accused by the lady of her natal family, who said that she had stolen her sister Yun Kefan's jade pendant. The jade pendant was a gift from a relative when her sister got engaged.

Her biological mother clearly saw that it was Yun Kefan's sister, Yun Ketong, the daughter of a concubine, who stole it to play with, but she didn't dare to say a word. When the lady whipped Yun Kexin with a whip, her biological mother hid aside and watched from afar like a mouse, fearing that her own safety would be in danger.

After the whipping was over, she ran to Yun Kexin and said in a low voice with a panicked look on her face, "Xin, just admit your mistake. Don't be stubborn. Life will be hard for you and your mother!"

That look on his face was as if he was afraid that his wolf-like daughter might be in trouble again because of her bad temper.

Yun Kexin was straightforward and stubborn. She stared blankly and said, "I didn't steal!"

Her biological mother was a little angry, "You have to admit it! Don't hurt your mother!"

You didn't steal it, so are you going to say that Yun Ketong stole it? Yun Ketong is the daughter of a concubine. If you say this, not only will you offend the eldest lady and make her be accused of being "unfair", you will also offend that fierce concubine.

My life is so difficult, but I really can't afford it.

From then on, she no longer had any hope for her biological mother.

In the Yun Mansion, she is a little wild wolf.

The biological mother is a little mouse hiding in the corner.

She watched Yun Kexin being beaten, wronged, and bullied, and she never dared to step forward and say a word.

If they saw her being beaten from a distance, they would just walk away.

She never knew that her father had only taken her mother as a concubine out of a momentary pleasure at first, and was forced by her mother's own mother to do so, and he had never had much affection for her mother.

Such a mother, such a father, such a family.

Yun Kexin lives in sadness and confusion every day.

When she was being beaten, she looked at the desolate back of her biological mother as she walked away, and her chest felt like snowflakes in winter, melancholy and desolate.

They give birth to children but don't love them. How can they be mothers or fathers?

She hates these irresponsible parents.

She vowed never to have children and never to bring even a little tragedy to any innocent life.

Zhen'er sighed after recalling the past. The young lady in their family was simple and passionate. Although she was bullied by her family, she had a kind nature and had never done anything to hurt others.

Probably, it is because he is too innocent and honest, and he won't change his ways, which makes people think he is stubborn.

Zhen'er looked back at Liu Binghai lying on the sickbed, her eyes reddening again. She sighed, "After my mistress married the manor owner, although she loved him wholeheartedly, she was determined not to have children, so she drank contraceptive medicine every day..."

When He Chuanxiong heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but look back at the silly woman.

Zhen'er: "Later, the owner of the manor found out... He was very angry and asked her why she was secretly using contraception. But she was stubborn and refused to give a single reason, saying only that she didn't want to be a mother. She refused to say a word about what happened at her mother's house."

She still remembered that day when there was a big commotion in the mansion.

The fact that the eldest lady secretly drank the contraceptive medicine was a big deal, and the whole mansion was in an uproar because of it.

The owner of the manor had red eyes and was so angry that his veins were exposed. He was as annoyed as an angry lion.

He questioned, but she looked calm.

He refused to explain, refused to compromise, and refused to make peace.

She is such a stubborn person. Once she makes up her mind, no one can pull her back, and no one can ask her to give in or compromise.

The owner of the manor was furious and started to ignore her from then on.

She was not angry, but just told Zhen'er not to tell the owner of the manor the reason. She had only told Zhen'er about her worries.

She wanted to see how he would treat her if she didn't give birth to children for him.

Sure enough, not long after, the owner of the manor started taking concubines, and Feng Yunyan came in.

Haha...all the vows of love and deep affection cannot defeat the mundane need of passing on the family line.

Zhen'er guessed that her master's finding a new lover might be related to this matter.

The master probably also hates the owner of the manor in his heart...

Zhen'er's eyes were red as she looked at her sleeping master and sighed, "Our master has a miserable life. He is a pitiful man. He has been born with this fate in his heart. I am afraid that he will not be able to escape this fate in the end. From now on, I will trouble Mr. He to take care of him."

As he spoke, Liu Binghai coughed and sweat broke out on his forehead again.

He Chuanxiong wiped his hand and found it was sweat.

This is because the medicine has taken effect and has driven out half of the evil spirits.

"Don't worry, I will be more tolerant of her."

"And me!" The little beggar jumped aside.

Zhen'er felt that the beggar looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. She frowned and asked, "Who are you..."

The little beggar felt a lump in his throat.

You can't say that he is Brother Zhan's younger brother.

He coughed twice and pointed at the rooster. "We are all good brothers of Sister Yun. We will take care of her in the future. Please rest assured."

There were many beggars on the street. They must be the little brats who often hung out in some alley. Zhen'er didn't think much of it. She said a few words to He Chuanxiong and left the He family.

As soon as she left, the chickens quickly gathered around her, looking at the sea of ​​drifting ice with a look of heartache on their faces.

He Chuanxiong and Xiao Zhi looked at each other and said to the chicken in unison, "That's enough."
