Chapter 22 "Leave your life to me" The rain kept falling, Jiang...

The rain fell incessantly, and the river was covered in mist. Late in the night, the storm suddenly arose. Fortunately, the official ship had a deep draft and drifted steadily with the current.

The rain was pouring down, pattering against the cabin, seemingly endless.

Yun Yang had vomited many times. The doctor on the ship said that she had been suffering from seasickness for a long time. She had not taken any medicine these days and could not eat. She vomited if she ate, which made her condition worse and she became dehydrated.

Xue Yu had washed his hands many times in his cabin, and his fingertips were slightly red.

The ripples in the silver basin had subsided, and the water was clear and transparent, reflecting his cold face.

It wasn't about cleaning anything, she clearly didn't spit out any dirt.

It was the warm and smooth touch of her tongue and the subconscious urge to swallow him, which were like invisible strings, sticking to him wetly, lingering and impossible to get rid of.

She fainted after vomiting, her hands and feet were limp, and she obediently let him hold her in her arms, her long black hair rubbing against his chest and entwining.

After taking the medicine and getting an acupuncture injection, her frown finally relaxed. He then felt relieved and returned to his cabin.

It was raining, and the cabin was filled with a unique salty and damp air, making the silk clothes on his body become cold. However, Xue Yu felt as if his chest and abdomen were burning. He had just picked up Yun Yang with his upper body naked, and the places where he had touched her were filled with a dense and indescribable feeling.

He stood up and opened the window. The river breeze with a fishy smell blew in, and his wide sleeves were filled with the wind. The young man stood by the window and looked at the vast dark water.

We will reach Youzhou tomorrow.

The newly minted Jinshi, the key figure in the family extermination case previously investigated by the Ministry of Justice, was from Baizhou. This matter involved an official appointed by the imperial court, so no matter how confusing the case was, it needed to be thoroughly investigated. To get to the bottom of it, they had to go to Baizhou.

The Fengyang dike collapsed, causing disasters in Youzhou and Baizhou. Xue Yu never thought that he would volunteer to come to the two states to provide disaster relief based on the case.

Now that I think about it, I was actually impulsive.

It is obvious that he could arrange for Yun Yang to go with the Imperial Censor for Disaster Relief, or persuade her to wait at Xue's house while he sends someone to Youzhou to bring his parents-in-law over.

It’s not that there aren’t better solutions.

But... with Yun Yang's personality, he would definitely rush back to Youzhou immediately.

But when he thought of her setting out on the flood-stricken journey home alone, and perhaps being robbed by disaster victims, infected with diseases, or washed away by the flood, he could not think calmly, and he immediately volunteered to go to You and Bai states to provide disaster relief.

He didn't want to see her eyes filled with loss again.

"Sir, Miss Yun Er has a high fever and is talking nonsense." Si Qing came to report.

"Let's go." Xue Yu stood up.

The two cabins were adjacent to each other. Xue Yu walked quickly and lifted the soft curtain. He saw the person on the bed with a frown on his face, his cheeks flushed, his eyes slightly closed, and his arms waving weakly in the air, as if he couldn't wait to grab something.

He quickly walked forward, leaned over, held her hand, and called her softly, "Yun Yang."

"Sister, sister." She held his hand, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, where have you been? Where have you been? Don't you want me anymore? Dad, Mom, I want to go home, I want to go home."

Xue Yu let her hold one of his hands, and with the other hand he placed a clean handkerchief on her forehead.

"What happened? Why did it suddenly burn like this?"

"My lord, the doctor just said that she will have a fever tonight, but she will be fine after the fever subsides." Si Qing said, "I just feel that Miss Yun is really pitiful... She keeps crying and asking for her parents and sister."

"You're still young." His voice was low and gentle, as if he was talking to himself.

If you feel uncomfortable, you should go to your parents' age.

His heart, which had been numbed by the intrigues in the officialdom and the trivialities of family life, suddenly seemed to be wrapped in something soft. He felt pity for the frowning and whispering girl, completely forgetting that he had traveled around Dazhao with a sword when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Xue Yu..." Yun Yang murmured.

Hearing his name coming out of her mouth, Xue Yu leaned closer, "What?"

"You big bastard!" she suddenly shouted.

The sound exploded in his ears like a loud bell. Xue Yu took a breath and dodged, "...Even though he's sick, he's still so confident."

After Yun Yang finished shouting, she felt relieved and her brows relaxed, but she began to sob, "You big bastard, you don't believe me! You wronged me, you, you bullied me... wuwuwu."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have bullied you." Xue Yu said softly, raised his eyes to look at the unconscious girl, and promised seriously, "When you wake up, I will apologize to you in person again."

After saying this, he felt relieved.

If he was wrong, he should apologize to her and try his best to get her forgiveness. This should be a simple thing to do, but he was still complacent.

For the first time, Xue Yu realized that he was actually a timid person. If he had explained everything to her earlier on the boat, if he had admitted his mistakes earlier, she wouldn't have deliberately avoided him and wouldn't even tell him about her seasickness.

Si Qing changed the basin to a new one with ice-cold water. Xue Yu washed the handkerchief in the water, cooled it down, wrung it out half-dry, and then covered Yun Yang's forehead with it again.

It was icy cold. Yun Yang took a deep breath, frowned, and involuntarily moved closer to the coolness, rubbing it greedily, humming with pleasure.

Xue Yu thought of the group of raccoon slaves that once existed in his mansion.

A litter of kittens lost their mother, and he took pity on them because they were weak and helpless, so he carefully fed them with goat's milk.

The little cats seemed to treat him as their mother, and would often rub the back of his hand affectionately with their heads and tails.

He raised them with great care, but they abandoned him without any attachment.

He was unwilling to give up, so he caught one and tied it up with a chain made of red gold. He also put a bell around its neck, which would jingle whenever the little raccoon moved.

In this way, if it escapes again, he will be able to find it in time.

But in the end, the little raccoon bit the chain until his lips and teeth bled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him became resentful and unfamiliar.

The young man was brought back to his senses when he felt a furry touch on his arm.

Yun Yang closed her eyes, her black hair hanging down, and rubbed her cheeks and neck against his arms, charmingly and intimately.

A nasal voice came up like mist, pulling him back from his memories. "Sister, sister..."

She opened her lips slightly, and moved closer to him, twisting her body dishonestly. Her silk undergarment slipped off, revealing a thin, snow-white shoulder. As if due to the fever, her delicate collarbone was flushed light red.

Xue Yu looked calm. He reached out and tucked the corner of his quilt upwards to cover the beautiful scene.

*

The next morning, a soft river breeze blew, and the air was filled with a salty and damp smell. Yun Yang turned over and tucked his head into the quilt. The sound of water and birdsong was really disturbing.

The bed swayed slowly, as if floating in the water, and faint calls of river workers could be heard.

She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and scanned the room.

I remember now, I remember everything.

This is on the boat, the boat returning to Youzhou for disaster relief!

Last night she vomited so much that she felt weak all over and seemed to have fallen asleep beside the wooden barrel, but she vaguely remembered someone putting a finger into her mouth, which helped her spit out the contents of her throat.

Yun Yang sat up and put on her clothes, her hands were still weak and it took her a long time to put on her dress. She stepped on the ground with her bare white feet, but she couldn't find her shoes. She didn't know where she left them last night.

Her dress was not properly put on and hung on the ground, just covering her feet. She held on to the table and walked slowly towards the window.

The river seemed to be in high tide, the water was murky and looked like yellow soup.

In the dim morning light, the people on the deck seemed to sense something and turned around to see that handsome and elegant face.

Xue Yu.

The discomfort in the throat had subsided, but now it suddenly became hot again.

Yun Yang gasped, quickly closed the window, turned his back, and covered his chest. "Last night, the person who scratched my throat last night seemed to be, him?!"

She remembered the arm she saw before she fainted. There was a faint scar on it. She remembered that it was the arm that Xue Yu had been scratched by a female leopard.

"Second Miss? Second Miss Yun? Are you awake? Are you hungry? I'll bring you breakfast." Si Qing said.

"Come in, come in." Yun Yang said.

Si Qing leaned over and spread the food, saying, "The boat is simple, young lady, so just make do with it. When we arrive in Youzhou in the evening, officials from the government office will come to greet us, and we can have a good hot meal then."

"The master has instructed that the girl must not eat greasy or meaty food since she hasn't eaten for a long time. He specially asked the kitchen to make white porridge and these silver thread steamed buns. They look plain, but they are actually sweet. They go well with the white porridge to give a nice flavor to the mouth."

Yun Yang nodded, "That's thoughtful."

"That's right. There's nothing to say about the young master's treatment of the second young lady. Which brother-in-law would pick his sister-in-law's throat? Second young lady, you almost choked to death last night. It was our young master who saved you!" Si Qing said.

Yun Yang was stunned, "Ah..."

"Last night was a dangerous time. Anyone would have saved you, but our young master is aloof and chaste, so I was surprised that he would save you personally." Si Qing said, and then he stacked the empty food boxes one by one. "Second Miss, since our young master saved your life, please forgive him."

"Ah?" Yun Yang.

"It's about you dealing with the fake calligraphy of the young master. It turned out that I reported it to the young master without checking it thoroughly..." Si Qing said embarrassedly, and then took a few steps back and left the cabin.

Yun Yang didn't think so. If Xue Yu believed her, he wouldn't be so easily influenced. He would check it out himself instead of blindly assuming that she was greedy and ambitious!

But he, he actually saved her last night, so does that mean all the grudges are offset?

Did she vomit all over him last night... Oh my God, Yun Yang held his forehead and didn't want to recall it.

"Yun Yang." Xue Yu lifted the soft curtain and was hesitating on how to apologize when he heard her scream. She jumped back to the bed from the window and covered herself under the quilt. One of her snow-white feet was exposed outside, which she quickly retracted.

"What's wrong?" Xue Yu felt strange. "Is there a bug? Or is it burning again?"

"Don't say anything, don't say anything, just go away." Yun Yang's voice came from under the quilt, muffled, "I don't want to see you..."

"Why?" Xue Yu asked.

She must still be angry about the injustice she had done to her. Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Yun Yang mumble, "I forgive you! But you have to promise me that you'll forget how you saved me. Forget it!"

Xue Yu's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his usually serious face became relaxed. He twitched the corners of his lips and asked, "Do you really forgive me?"

"I forgive you, I forgive you!" Yun Yang nodded repeatedly. Thinking of the feeling of his fingers pressing against her throat, she felt embarrassed and anxious. "I really forgive you! Then you have to remember it too. No, you can't remember that!"

"Okay," he said.

Walking out of the cabin, Xue Yu's brows softened a lot, and he smiled faintly and shook his head, "Little girl."

The ice was broken just like that?

Xue Yu froze when he realized he was laughing. It was as if all his energy-cultivating skills had gone to waste after meeting Yun Yang, and he could no longer be calm and composed.

"Sir, Miss Yun seems to have lost weight." Si Qing said with a simple smile, "She looks like Lin Daiyu, but even prettier."

Unexpectedly, Xue Yu's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Don't talk nonsense about a girl."

The fair and beautiful face in his mind immediately disappeared. Si Qing shuddered. It was rare for him to see the young master so timid. He immediately became alert and lowered his head.

In the evening, we arrived at Youzhou Wharf.

The climate in Youzhou is not as mild as that in Shangjing. As soon as Yun Yang got off the boat, the strong and fierce river wind caught him off guard. Fortunately, his brother-in-law Xue Yu sent someone to deliver a brocade robe in advance to keep him warm.

Officials from Youzhou were waiting at the dock early in the morning, and Yun Yang got on a carriage after getting off the boat.

Xue Yu spoke quickly and clearly, explaining all matters related to disaster relief in a simple and detailed manner to the local officials, and also shared disaster information with them.

Yun Yang knew that her brother-in-law had no intention of chatting with the officials, but she was still anxious.

I want to go back to Yun Mansion as soon as possible and see my parents!

But the roads were washed away by water, and the ground was covered with mud and animal carcasses. There was no place to step. He could only wait for Xue Yu to finish his instructions and then take a car with him.

"Yangyang, is Yangyang back?!"

Yun Yang heard a familiar voice coming from outside, like that of Aunt Chen in the mansion... She hurriedly stuck her head out of the carriage and saw a woman walking hurriedly not far away, stumbling over the mud and piles of straw, and extending her hand to greet her.

The man following behind the woman was none other than her second uncle Yunbai. Looking further behind, there was also a young man in a green robe.

But for some reason, they were all wearing gray and white coarse linen clothes and had white cloth belts tied around their waists.

Yun Yang jumped out of the car, stood on tiptoe and waved at them, shouting, "It's me! It's me! Aunt Chen!"

The eyes of the woman called Aunt Chen moved slightly. After not seeing her for a few months, the little girl seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her snow-white face was glowing, her chin was pointed, but her eyes were black and big. When she smiled, she was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.

She was wearing snow-white fox fur, made of the finest sky-blue silk material. The bracelet on her slender white wrist was clear, shiny and had excellent water content. Even her plain white soft shoes were made of kesi silk. Her waist was slender, and when the river breeze blew, she looked elegant and graceful as if she was about to fly away with the wind.

"Yangyang... you're finally back. Auntie, Auntie was about to give up. Your parents were washed away by the flood..." The woman hugged Yunyang and cried, "From now on, we have to depend on each other!"

Yun Yang was stunned, his bright black eyes suddenly misty, his red lips trembling slightly, and he pushed the woman away, "What did you say? What do you mean?"

"The water came so suddenly. The master and the mistress were taking a walk in the fields. They couldn't escape..." Aunt Chen sobbed.

The young man behind followed and saw Yun Yang's eyes light up. He quickly walked forward and took her in his arms. He mustered up the courage to say, "Don't be afraid, sister. You and I have been childhood sweethearts. From now on, your life will be in my hands..."

Xue Yu, who was talking to someone, paused, turned around, and looked stern. His narrow, dark eyes fell on the two people hugging each other, like ice that had been tempered by fire.

[Natural fishing beauty*younger man forced service type loyal dog]

In her previous life, Fang Fu had never taken Xiao Tan, the son of the concubine brought back by her father, seriously, even though he later passed the imperial examinations and became an important official.

She married a well-matched man, treated him with respect, and had a loving mother-in-law. Her only regret was that she had no children.

Miaoyuan Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, and it is very effective for those who pray for children. Fang Fu lifted her skirt lightly and knelt sincerely on the cushion. She looked up in a trance, and for some reason, she always felt that there was a gloomy and sticky gaze rubbing every inch of her body. Even the compassion of the gods and Buddhas in the sky seemed to have changed.

Behind the statue, the young man's dark gaze was fixed on Fang Fu through a very narrow hole.

Sandalwood incense lingered under the high caisson ceiling, and her sincere face was radiant with a soft glow. After hearing what she was muttering, he pursed his lips tightly, and a strong possessive desire instantly overwhelmed him.

The secret guard beside him asked, "Sir, can Miss Fu get what she wants?"

Xiao Tan's eyes grew darker, "Yes."

The secret guard continued to ask, "Then stop giving Miss Fu's husband the contraceptive medicine?"

After a moment, Xiao Tan said in a calm and cold tone: "Kill him."

*

After Fang Fu's unjust death, her spirit wandered the world. She saw her usually taciturn brother rushing out of her husband's house with a knife in hand, standing tall and graceful on the blood-stained jade steps. He looked up at the falling snow and whispered, "I've avenged you."

After being reborn, she returned to the time before she got married, when the young Xiao Tan was still in the carriage being taken back to the Fang Mansion by his father.

As his elder sister, she sincerely protected him, preventing him from being looked down upon, teaching him how to integrate into the aristocratic families, and cultivating him into an unparalleled gentleman praised by the nobles.

Fang Fu felt that she couldn't be the annoying elder sister-in-law, so before arranging a marriage for her younger brother, she had to get married first.

Unexpectedly, the young man who was already taller than her blocked her way, holding in his hand the letter she had written to the third place winner.

The young man approached her step by step, his cold outline half bright and half dark, and a strong sense of aggression emanated from him. "Fu'er promised not to abandon me."

·The heroine and the hero have no blood relationship in their past and present lives, and the hero slowly awakens his memories of his past life.

The heroine’s husband in her previous life was a scumbag.

·After the woman is reborn, she is pure; the man is always pure, everywhere.

· Dingo is younger than me, with an age difference of 2 years.
