With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 370 Sir, I'm in so much painThe
night was dark.
The water from the bathtub spilled all over the floor.
Someone was ruthless.
The soft jade quilt that defied frost and snow was covered with marks, like red plum blossoms blooming in the winter snow.
Yu Tingwan's waist trembled slightly.
She didn't know how many times she cried and how many marks she scratched on his chest.
She only remembered that the candlelight on the wall was shaking violently, her instep was stretched tightly, and the sound of water continued.
In her blurred consciousness, she only knew that she had to take a bath again. She
didn't know when he sent her to the bed.
Maybe because of drinking and being tired after a day, Yu Tingwan fell asleep.
But the smell of alcohol in the air became strong.
Pungent, not like the alcohol she drank during the day.
But familiar.
It was the kind of strong liquor that could be bought for more than ten coins.
The men in the village would buy it to drink except during festivals. In the cold winter, women often boiled it and added a few slices of ginger to it. Drinking it was the best way to warm the body.
But Yu Tingwan had never been able to drink it.
As long as she doesn't freeze to death, Wang doesn't want her to waste good things.
Why does my nose smell like wine?
There is also a faint smell of medicine.
Yu Tingwan was confused.
Then she heard a crisp sound, the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.
She raised her eyes and was about to look, but it was a familiar courtyard.
Xiao Huaiyan, wearing the uniform of the county magistrate, came in from outside, walking hurriedly.
"I haven't been here for a while. How is he?"
Ge Lao put the medicinal materials into the medicine grinding trough, stepped on the grinding wheel, and ground them into powder.
"What can I do? He doesn't care about people and doesn't cooperate with taking medicine."
Xiao Huaiyan got anxious when he heard this.
"Wasn't he fine before?"
"What's good? It was that girl who poured it in before. I don't know where you found this person, but you are really brave. Ignoring the general's cold face, you just do it."
While pouring, he comforted softly.
——"The young master is paralyzed in bed now and can't get out of bed. He is weak and can't take care of himself, but he will be fine after taking the medicine,"
No, he doesn't want to be fine.
——"I know why you don't want to eat."
——"If you drink too much medicine, you will want to go to the toilet. You are afraid that it is inconvenient. But I can get half a tael of silver every month. This is my job. I don't feel offended to help you solve that problem."
No.
Wei Zhao felt that he was the one who was offended.
Xiao Huaiyan asked: "What about her?"
"She is sick."
"She had a fever last night. She was able to resist it and didn't make any noise. She was also diligent. This morning she climbed out of bed to boil medicine for the general. I saw that her face was red. When I touched her forehead, it was burning hot, like a stove."
Ge Lao: "I wrote her a prescription and ordered her to rest. How dare I let her get close to the general."
Xiao Huaiyan was worried about Wei Zhao. Hearing this, he didn't care too much about a maid.
"He can't move now anyway, so you can just force it in."
Ge Lao: "It's easy for the prince to say. I dare not."
Just being stared at by Wei Zhao made his back cold.
"It's just that the girl is very fierce. Fortunately, she didn't know the general's identity, otherwise she wouldn't dare to attack her."
"If you can do it, go ahead!"
Xiao Huaiyan went.
Wei Zhao was half-sitting, with his eyes downcast. When he saw him come in, he didn't react.
Xiao Huaiyan came to the bed with a medicine bowl.
"I've seen your wound. It's the mark of being stabbed by the Broken Cloud Spear."
"I don't ask what you've been through. But I saved your life. I didn't let you die, so you can't get into trouble."
Wei Zhao didn't even look at him.
"There's still half a year."
Xiao Huaiyan: "?"
"Shen Zhiyi and Chu Liulang are getting married."
Wei Zhao: "Why do you put your mind on me?"
Wei Zhao said listlessly: "But it's good. You've always been afraid of delaying her, so you didn't dare to make it known to yourself, so Chu Liulang got the opportunity. Ze County is far away from home, and there's no need to rush back to have a drink on the day when the Shen and Chu families get married."
Wei Zhao: "Be generous."
He said, lifting his eyelids and looking at Xiao Huaiyan.
"Free and easy."
"You can take it or leave it. I respect you as a man."
Xiao Huaiyan:...
You stabbed yourself, and you didn't forget to ruthlessly dig out his heart?
He was so angry that his mouth was about to be crooked.
Wei Zhao seemed to have thought of something: "What did you say outside?"
Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? ?
Wei Zhao: "I know it's to hide it from others. People outside think that you, the new county magistrate, have a mistress here. So you often come to visit and stay overnight."
"But it ruined her reputation as a girl."
Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? ?
"She doesn't care, why do you care?"
Wei Zhao's face turned cold: "She doesn't care, it's just that she is at the mercy of others, and you have given her a place to stay here!"
"You will eventually return to Shangjing, and she will get married in the future."
Xiao Huaiyan narrowed his eyes.
He put down the medicine, crossed his arms and looked down at Wei Zhao.
"What are you excited about?"
"Why do you care so much?"
"I understand, it's useless for Ge Lao to feed her. I put the medicine under your nose, and you didn't even raise your hand. So
you want the girl to feed her, right?" "No wonder, she is so obedient."
Wei Zhao looked unpredictable: "She is a woman, how can I care? How can you say such nonsense?"
"Come on, those women who rushed to you didn't show mercy."
Then.
Xiao Huaiyan came out of the house.
Ge Lao, who had been paying attention, hurried forward: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Huaiyan: "He told me to get out."
Xiao Huaiyan: "I got out."
Ge Lao: ...
waste!
I don't know how long it took.
There was only a creak.
The door was opened by someone inside.
The man who was half-sitting on the couch not long ago, walked out of the room.
The light was dazzling after not seeing the sun for a long time.
Wei Zhao raised his hand to cover it uncomfortably.
Ge Lao watched him move around, tearing his wound, and his white silk clothes were stained red with blood.
"Why are you up!"
Wei Zhao ignored him.
This was the first time he walked out of the room, and he was not familiar with this place.
But the yard was so small.
He walked.
Passed by the kitchen.
Passed by the woodshed.
When he passed by the house where Ge Lao lived, he continued to move forward without looking around.
Finally, he stopped at the door of Yu Tingwan.
He raised his hand and knocked.
There was no response for a long time, only the sound of porcelain pieces falling to the ground, and he pushed the door open with a heavy look.
Xiao Huaiyan:...
Shameless dog.
Yu Tingwan curled up and sat on the ground against the wall.
There were several wine bottles thrown around at her feet, and some were accidentally dropped and smashed.
Her face was red and she was no longer conscious.
"You dare to drink when you are sick?"
Wei Zhao walked over, kicked away the annoying bottle, and looked down at her.
Yu Tingwan was confused: "It's cheaper if you add water. It's seven cents a bottle. I persuaded you to only six cents."
Wei Zhao: "Didn't you say you can get half a tael of silver every month? Why don't you buy something more expensive?"
She couldn't bear to part with it.
She was a lowly person, how could she deserve good things?
In fact, she shouldn't buy this wine.
It's just...
Today is the anniversary of my parents' death. But they didn't even build a tomb.
Her tears flowed: "It's so hot."
Wei Zhao frowned.
"Where."
Yu Tingwan extended her hand.
Her hands were rough and cracked, and there were calluses. It was obvious that she was used to doing rough work.
Wei Zhao: "Did you burn your hands?"
She nodded, and soon shook her head.
Wei Zhao squatted down and was level with her: "Where is that?"
Yu Tingwan touched her head, her face, and her waist.
She choked.
"It's hot."
"Yaoyao, it's so hot, so hot."
Wei Zhao didn't know where she was burning.
Tears rolled down and hit the back of his hand.
His hand was burning.
Yu Tingwan sobbed, helpless and pitiful.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said.
"My lord, it hurts so much."
