A story about the female lead's redemption.
This is a passerby's perspective version of the synopsis.
The Fengyue Brothel is, after all, a brothel. What good people could possib...
"Don't you think you should get me a carriage or something?"
Wang Dani sat in front of Huo Xiaolong, truly terrified that if she fell again, her other leg would also be in danger.
I don't know if it's because she went back to the grasslands this time, but the dark-skinned girl has become a bit spoiled. Anyway, that's what Huo Xiaolong thinks.
“Your fourth brother didn’t bring a carriage either. If he had, I would have gotten one for you. People in the border town have never seen a luxurious carriage from the grasslands before.”
"It's not as comfortable as yours. I'd like to sit at yours," said Dani'er.
"I don't have any at home right now either. I was so anxious when I came. I'll give you a seat when we get back, okay?"
After much coaxing, Da Ni'er finally agreed to set off. When the group reached the border between the grassland and Pingyang County, Huo Xiaolong tightened the reins and gave a shout. The horse immediately stopped and turned its head to face the grassland, following its master's instructions.
"What's wrong?" Da Ni'er asked, half asleep against Huo Xiaolong.
The girl has a great figure, her body is soft and supple, and her arms and arms are muscular, which makes me feel very safe.
"Let me show you the grasslands," the girl in red armor said.
"Why are you looking at this thing? I used to look at it every day."
"Next time I come, it might be even bloodier than the last few days. Let's take a good look at this peace and tranquility then," Huo Xiaolong said softly.
"It was never a peaceful place to begin with."
"I'll continue," Da Ni'er continued.
When will you come next time?
"After the New Year, spring will arrive."
Hou Xiangxiang, who could hear the two of them talking, took out a sesame seed cake from her bundle and started eating it. These two were really something, talking about fighting like they were just visiting someone's house.
"Hurry home, Aunt Wang is getting impatient," said the girl in white.
The reins tightened, the whip cracked, and the horse sped along the mountain road like a whirlwind. Wang Dani held tightly to the reins in front, afraid that she would fall off again.
"My son has suffered."
Looking at Da Ni'er lying on the bed, Aunt Wang burst into tears. Her fingernails had been numbed with numbing cream by Xiangxiang, so she couldn't feel the pain. The main problem was that the leg hanging on the bed looked too conspicuous.
"How did you get your leg hurt? Did someone bully you?"
Mother, if you asked about anything else, at least I could proudly tell you and answer your questions.
"It's alright, Mom. Is the bone broth ready yet? I'd like some."
These past two days, Aunt Wang has been extremely anxious, and her mouth is full of blisters, which makes her husband feel sorry for her. Helpless, he can only continue making sesame cakes with his wife.
There were many people from Miao territory, but she couldn't stay idle. They all ate as much as Wang Dani'er.
"Okay, it's keeping warm in the kitchen. Mom will go get it for you."
The woman immediately went to the kitchen of the brothel and brought her daughter a bowl of soup. The girls tidied up and went to bed to rest, but Liuxu and Mantuo still had to spare some energy to coax the man.
Fortunately, Long'er was there to look after the children. Huo Xiaolong felt like her head was about to explode, as the two kids kept asking her questions.
"Auntie, what's it like deep in the grasslands?"
"Auntie, are you hurt?"
Cen Ang and He Yi saw this scene at the door, gently closed the door, and let them make a fuss. After a while, the group fell asleep in each other's arms.
"What's wrong? Are you so unhappy? Well, we left in a hurry. Long'er was anxious to save her little sister, so how could we, as her older sisters, not follow?" Mantuo said, leaning against Lu Wangji's side.
The beautiful woman hadn't even taken off her hair yet; she had just taken off her armor and entered the house when she saw a man with soy sauce hanging from his lips.
"We've been married for ages, look, I'm back safe and sound. Don't be angry, hurry up and take my hair out, I'm going to take a bath."
Although the man didn't speak, his hands didn't stop moving. His white hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall. The hot water in the inner room had already been prepared, and the steam rising from the bathtub showed how attentive he was.
“This is the second time,” Lu Wangji said.
"What?" Mando was a little confused.
“You wouldn’t let me go with you the first time, when my leg wasn’t fully healed.”
The beauty remembered that when she was defending the city with them, she had asked Lu Wangji to wait for her at home. She never expected that after so long, with a child already, this man would still remember.
"You said it yourself, your leg wasn't fully healed back then. Besides, even though I told you not to go, you still went anyway."
"But this time they won't let me leave the city gate."
After Long'er led her men out, she ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave until they returned.
"I'm scared."
The man embraced Mando from behind and whispered in her ear.
"I'm afraid you won't come back, I'm afraid we can't die together, I'm afraid we won't have a next life."
The woman raised her hand to grasp his, turned around, kissed him twice on the cheek, and said softly.
"I won't be gone forever, don't you believe me, Long'er? Besides, why can't there be a next life?"
"We can't get enough of each other in this life, we want to continue our love in the next life."
"Then you can't leave me alone to go on an adventure next time."
Lu Wangji now looked like a pitiful little dog, pleading with his master to take him wherever he went. Mantuo nestled in his arms and said...
"I'll take you with me, I'll put you in my sleeve and take you away."
The sound of splashing water and surging waves could not contain the beauty of spring within the room.
"Auntie, you have no idea how miserable we've been these past few days."
"What's wrong?" Huo Xiaolong asked drowsily.
She's just a heartless baby-raising machine now.
“My dad and Siman’s dad have been strolling around the city wall every day for the past two days, and their cooking is terrible.”
"But you have Grandma, right? Didn't Aunt Zhang make any for you two?" Huo Xiaolong asked.
“Yes, I did, but my dad followed my mom’s instructions to take good care of me when he wasn’t home, so he did everything himself, including cooking. I didn’t want to offend him. Auntie, let me tell you, even the little white dog at Aunt Hou’s house wouldn’t even sniff the food my dad makes.”
The little boy lay in Huo Xiaolong's arms, accusing Miao Cuifang of her crimes in recent days.
"How have your mother-in-law and the others been staying these past few days? Where have you arranged for them to stay?" Master Miao wanted to get close to his wife, but Liu Xu always wanted to talk to him about other things.
"Since the county's guesthouses couldn't accommodate them, I let them stay in the mountains."
"In the mountains!? Do you think this is Miao territory? The border town is freezing cold! You want them to live in the mountains!?"
"My mother-in-law is staying at our house. She's fine."
Liu Xu looked incredulous and really wanted to kick the man who was massaging her feet away.
The mother-in-law happened to come over to bring her some herbs to relax her muscles and improve circulation. She overheard the conversation inside and knocked on the door.
“Liu Xu, your mother-in-law is coming to bring you some medicine. And don’t worry, Cen Dong’s family has made arrangements for Xiao Miao. She’s not staying in the mountains.”
"Those kids all went to play in the border town and Beining."
Liu Xu stood up and opened the door, wanting to let her mother-in-law in, but the old woman waved her hand and said...
"No need. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I won't bother you any longer. I just came to let you know that Miss Huo has given everyone money. I'm also going to the border town for a few days. I'll take Bu Hui with me."
This was to make room for the two of them. Liu Xu felt a little embarrassed, but Miao Cuifang didn't care and just said something.
"Thank you, Grandma."
