Yang Donghu turned around in surprise. Zhao Luochuan, dressed in black, was half hidden in the night, blending into the pitch-black darkness. The expression on his face was particularly scary.

The last time I saw Zhao Luochuan like this was when he brought Yang Donghu back from the Yang family. Since then, he has never had a dark face again.

Yang Donghu was caught red-handed. He was so frightened by his appearance that he stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Yang Chunxiao was even more afraid of Zhao Luochuan, so he grabbed the silver and turned around to run away.

"Stop! If you dare to take another step, don't blame me for being rude."

"You, why did you get up?" Yang Donghu felt uneasy and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Zhao Luochuan snorted, his expression unpleasant, but his words sounded a little aggrieved: "Why can't I get up? You sneaked out in the middle of the night. I thought you were going to run away."

Although it was the middle of the night, several people were standing at the door and talking loudly. This was not a good place to talk, so we had to be careful not to be seen by anyone with ulterior motives.

Yang Donghu pulled Zhao Luochuan back into the house in a flattering manner. Yang Chunxiao stood aside, not knowing whether to leave or not, but had no choice but to follow them into the house.

"Tell me, what's going on." Zhao Luochuan sat next to Yang Donghu with a grim expression, looking coldly at Yang Chunxiao who was cowering beside him.

Except for Yang Donghu and the old lady, Zhao Luochuan looked down on everyone else in the Yang family and hated them from the bottom of his heart. But even so, Zhao Luochuan would not be angry because Yang Donghu had contact with the Yang family. He just didn't understand why Yang Donghu kept it from him.

Or did Yang Chunxiao use some leverage over Yang Donghu to threaten him? Thinking of this, Zhao Luochuan's expression became even more unfriendly.

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Yang Donghu simply told the whole story, but omitted the part where Yang Chunxue drugged him.

"You're not allowed to go." Zhao Luochuan didn't even need to know Yang Chunxue's plot. He only listened halfway before interrupting him firmly: "You know the Yang family has bad intentions, but you still want to go. What if something goes wrong?"

Not only Wang Dujuan is hateful, but Yang Chunxue is even more so. Yang Donghu knows that she and Li Shangcai are in cahoots and want to drag him into the quagmire. An unmarried girl can think of such a disgusting method as strong drugs, which shows how vicious her mind is. Yang Donghu not taking the initiative to cause trouble does not mean that he will allow himself to be bullied.

Those who do evil will be punished. Since she wants to die, Yang Donghu has no choice but to help her.

They are vicious and if they want to make them suffer, Yang Chunxiao alone is not enough. Only by luring Yang Donghu over according to their plan will they relax a little.

Yang Chunxiao's hatred for the Yang family intensified. Just when she had persuaded Yang Donghu, another threat suddenly appeared. She said anxiously, "It will be fine. By then, we can not only avenge those who hurt Donghu, but also get Grandma out. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Zhao Luochuan said coldly: "How do you know there won't be any problems? What can make me believe you? Are you sure there won't be any accidents? If you are not sure, then keep this matter to yourself and never come to Donghu again."

"I..." Yang Chunxiao couldn't utter a word to refute and looked at Yang Donghu for help.

"I'll go even if something unexpected happens." Yang Donghu's voice was soft but it seemed to carry a thousand pounds of strength. He looked at Zhao Luochuan with gentle yet firm eyes: "Even if something unexpected happens, I'll go. Dachuan, you know I really want to take grandma out. I finally have a chance. Do you think I should give up?"

"But we can always find other ways."

Yang Donghu shook his head: "There is no other way. Besides, grandma can't wait any longer. Wang Dujuan has already made up her mind to drug her. I can't rest assured if she stays for another day."

He turned to Yang Chunxiao and said, "Go back. Let's do as we agreed."

Yang Chunxiao looked back and forth between Yang Donghu and Zhao Luochuan's faces. Seeing that Zhao Luochuan's face was getting darker and darker, she could no longer sit still. After getting Yang Donghu's affirmative answer, she slipped away as fast as she could.

Zhao Luochuan's face turned ashen, his lips were tightly pursed, he said nothing, and refused to look Yang Donghu in the eye.

Yang Donghu knew he was doing this for his own good, so he put on a flattering smile and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't want you to worry. I can handle it myself."

"If you don't let me know, I won't worry. Didn't you tell me before that I shouldn't hide it from you and that I shouldn't let you worry alone? Why don't these words work when it comes to you?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. I promise there won't be a next time, but just listen to me this time, okay?"

"not good."

"Just this once, please."

"no."

“…”

Zhao Luochuan is a stubborn person, and so is Yang Donghu. Neither of them can convince the other, so they lie on the bed and sulk.

It was the first time that Yang Donghu felt that the bed was so big. It turned out that even if they intentionally avoided each other and slept all night long, they would not bump into each other.

Zhao Luochuan was thinking about whether it would be feasible to lock Yang Donghu up at home, but then he changed his mind and thought, if that really happened and he couldn't take his grandmother out, not only would Yang Donghu be angry with him, but Zhao Luochuan himself would not be able to forgive himself either.

Neither of them slept soundly. At daybreak, Zhao Luochuan got up from the bed. There was a lot of noise outside as usual, as if someone was taking out his anger on the pots and pans, banging them around in the kitchen.

Yang Donghu was not sleeping soundly, so of course he could hear such a loud noise, but both of them were angry with each other, so he buried his head in the quilt and pretended not to hear.

Unexpectedly, after a burst of noise, there was a creaking sound of the yard door opening. Yang Donghu suddenly sat up and looked out through the gap in the window. Zhao Luochuan, carrying a longbow on his back, had disappeared.

He was startled and didn't even bother to put on his coat. He ran out and looked around the door. After seeing that no one was at home, he retreated dejectedly into the yard.

The pot in the kitchen was still hot, with a piece of white steamed bun, two boiled eggs, and a small dish of stir-fried cucumbers in it.

Yang Donghu laughed. He was still angry, but he had to eat. All Zhao Luochuan could do was to express his dissatisfaction by not calling him.

The food smelled delicious, and Yang Donghu was reluctant to waste it. He just took a few bites and felt sweet in his heart.

Compared to his good mood, Zhao Luochuan was the one who had no place to vent his anger. He went out but didn't know where to go. He wandered around the outside of the mountain with a longbow on his back but got nothing and returned to the village.

He didn't want to go home, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear that something might happen to Yang Donghu while he was alone at home. So he had to hide quietly not far from home. This hiding made him see a villain wandering around the house.

Most of the men in the village were in the fields, and those who stayed in the village were some weak women and men. Li Guihua pretended to chat with them, but in fact her eyes were always glancing towards the Zhao family courtyard.

She was close to Wang Dujuan, so Zhao Luochuan became secretly alert. He was afraid that Li Guihua was here to gather information for Wang Dujuan.
