Chapter 1373 The Master is in Love with the Bandit (13)

Shi Chu did not stay long. She left after having breakfast at the inn. This time she did not continue to dawdle on the road, but went directly to the capital.

No matter which dynasty it was, the capital was always the most prosperous and bustling place. If Shi Chu wanted to live a more comfortable life, then going to the capital would be a good choice. Especially in this dynasty, which was plagued by internal and external troubles and was in the last years of its reign, places that were too remote might suddenly experience civil unrest or war at any time. Shi Chu didn't want to become a refugee who needed to flee for his life one day.

She used a fake identity to buy a small house with a shop in front and a yard in the back, and then started working as a winemaker and selling wine.

As soon as Zhou Xingyu returned home, he suddenly found that the atmosphere at home was a little strange. His uncle Zhou Bang looked very bad and his spirit was gone, as if he was carrying heavy shackles on his body. He was completely different from the energetic appearance he saw when he came back before.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you recently? Are you feeling unwell? You don't look well." Zhou Xingyu said to Zhou Bang with some concern.

Seeing his nephew frowning and worried about him, Zhou Bang quickly forced a smile and pretended to be fine. He said to Zhou Xingyu, "Uncle is fine. He is not feeling unwell. You don't have to worry about me."

Zhou Xing was somewhat helpless when he saw that he was unwilling to speak out. However, he looked around and finally remembered what he felt was wrong, so he hurriedly asked: "Second Uncle, where is cousin Guier? Why didn't I see him when I went home this time? And Second Aunt..."

When Zhou Bang heard what he said, the expression on his face froze and his face darkened instantly.

Now when Zhou Xingyu saw his expression, he knew that something big must have happened to his second uncle, otherwise he wouldn't be like this... like a walking corpse, without a trace of life.

"Uncle, what happened? Don't keep it from me. Tell me..." Zhou Xingyu urged anxiously.

Seeing that his eyes were full of worry for him, Zhou Bang decided to speak out even though he felt it was hard to talk about what happened to him: "Yu'er, your second aunt betrayed me a long time ago. Gui'er is her son with her cousin Li Xingwang! They had an affair under my nose and made me raise their son for so many years. I have been a joke for half my life!"

Zhou Bang couldn't help but cover his face as he spoke. Even though he had made up his mind to tell his nephew, he still felt very ashamed when he said it.

Zhou Xingyu was stunned when he heard his uncle's words. When he reacted, he was very angry. He drew his sword and asked Zhou Bang angrily: "Uncle, where are the adulterous couple? I'm going to kill them!"

Zhou Bang quickly stopped him and said, "Yu'er, I have already punished them and driven them away. There is no need to dirty your hands to kill them. You are young and have a bright future. You must not let this couple break the law. They are not worthy of your attack!"

"Uncle, they betrayed you because they were despicable and shameless. You don't have to feel ashamed." Zhou Xingyu knew that being betrayed by his wife and raising someone else's son was something that no man could accept. He could only comfort his uncle.

"I know. I think I am qualified as both a husband and a father. As a husband, I keep myself clean, I only have her as my wife, and I let her use the money in the family. As a father, I love and pamper my child, provide him with food and clothing, and let him learn to read and write... I have never done anything to let her down..." Zhou Bang said with red eyes.

"Uncle, it's that woman who is blind and doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has. She left you and is with that gambling man. She will have a hard time in the future and will definitely regret it. Such a person is not worth your sadness." Zhou Xingyu racked his brains to comfort him.

Seeing him looking at him worriedly, Zhou Bang felt relieved of the pain he had been holding back. He patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "Indeed, they don't deserve my worry and sadness. Although I lost my son, I have a promising and filial nephew like you, so it's not much different."

"Second uncle, you are still young. In a year or two, find a good woman who is content with her duties and gives birth to some cousins ​​for me. That will be lively." Zhou Xingyu said quickly.

"Alas, I, your second uncle, dare not look for any woman again. Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years..." Zhou Bang said with a wry smile.

When Zhou Xingyu heard what he said, he was choked. He had no experience in matters of men and women, and couldn't help his second uncle. He could only think about spending more time with his second uncle during this period of time to make him less depressed and sad.

So during this period, in order to make his uncle happier, Zhou Xingyu often bought things that Zhou Bang was interested in and gave them to him, either novel objects, cute little animals, or novel and delicious food...

On this day, he heard that there was a newly opened wine shop selling delicious wine that was in great demand and in short supply every day, so he wanted to buy a few jars because his second uncle liked to drink.

"What's the strongest liquor you have here? Bring me one jar, no, two jars." A deep and magnetic male voice suddenly came into Shi Chu's ears. Shi Chu was instantly attracted by his sexy voice, as if an electric current rushed into her ears and reached her heart, making her tremble all over.

She finally understood what the sound was that could make people pregnant. This was it.

Shi Chu immediately looked at the owner of the beautiful voice. Sure enough, the man's appearance was consistent with his voice. The young man was tall and graceful, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, tall and long legs, and a sword on his waist. He was obviously a handsome and romantic knight, very attractive, and immediately hit Shi Chu's sexual preferences.

"Sir, the strongest liquor I have here is called Xifeng Lie. It is mellow and fragrant. Most people will get drunk after just two sips. Are you sure you really want two jars?" Shi Chu said, trying to retract his restless thoughts.

"Sure, the stronger the wine, the better." The handsome knight Zhou Xingyu had no idea that he was coveted by his master, and nodded in response.

"Okay, since you are not afraid, then I naturally have no objection." Shi Chu said, and actually moved two jars of wine out from the backyard and placed them in front of Zhou Xingyu.

Zhou Xingyu asked: "Can you open it and let me smell it?"

"Of course." Shi Chu said, and opened the lid of the wine jar himself. Instantly, a strong aroma of wine wafted out.

Zhou Xingyu was immediately refreshed, with a look of obvious satisfaction on his face, and said, "This wine is indeed very good."

"The wine I brew is naturally very good." Shi Chu answered proudly.
