Chapter 41 What a Good Person

The hangover was really uncomfortable. Yun Chen rubbed his heavy head and got up, only to find that "misfortunes never come singly". There was a bright red stain on the bed sheet.

She's having her period.

She left home at the age of twelve, and her mother passed away before she even knew what menstruation was.

When she had her first period, she was so scared that she thought she was going to die. It was a kind-hearted tofu seller who taught her how to use a sanitary belt.

She remembered that the aunt's husband looked at her with lustful eyes and said, "That's good. Having your period means you can have a baby."

Although she didn't understand human affairs, she was deeply frightened by the look and tone.

From then on, she dressed as a man and never wore any women's clothes again.

After becoming a guard, he spent his days fighting, climbing trees and diving.

She slept in the open air, sometimes hungry and sometimes full, and never took care of her body. Her period came and went as she pleased, and was never regular.

In addition, she was always injured and any part of her body hurt more than her stomach, so she never took her menstruation seriously.

But a few months ago, after taking medicine from Old Master Huo for half a month, Old Master Huo had somehow set his eyes on her. Every month, he would ask someone to send her extremely bitter medicine to drink, and he would also ask someone to watch her until she finished it.

Even when she was sent out to fight in a group at Yujia Wharf, there was a manager waiting by her side with medicine.

As soon as she finished, the steward rushed over to feed her medicine, muttering:

"Guardian Yun, you must drink this! This is a token of the old man's love for coming all this way! It's very nourishing!"

She was amused and helpless.

As a guard of the Huo Gang, she would have to drink poison even if the old man gave her poison, not to mention that it was a "favor".

After taking the medicine for a few months, she suddenly found that her menstruation became inexplicably regular.

Last month it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and this month it is the third day.

It seems that the old man’s medicine is really nutritious, she thought to herself.

After changing her clothes, she hurriedly washed the sheets secretly, and then hung them up to dry like a thief.

Just after finishing her work, Runhe came to call her, saying that they needed to do some cleaning before the New Year and asked Yunchen to help clean up Huo Gannian's private vault.

This job was much easier than usual. Yun Chen walked leisurely towards the private warehouse. From a distance, he saw a large group of people busy lifting boxes, taking out all the items inside, and drying and cleaning them one by one.

Ever since Yun Chen took the lead in "respecting" Huo Gannian, all the servants and guards followed suit and entered a new state of serving their master.

There are many things that I haven't touched for years, but I think of them from time to time, use them, and take a look at them.

Therefore, Runhe planned to take a thorough inventory of his private treasury today, not leaving out even a single bead, and all of them should be registered with their names.

"Guardian Yun, please open that big black box and read out the contents one by one. I'll register them. I remember there's a diamond-shaped grid in the corner. Don't miss anything."

Yun Chen agreed, and just as he put his hand on the box, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

She turned her head and looked at Ye Yan with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong, Brother Ye, did your sister-in-law increase your pocket money?"

Ye Yan said mysteriously with a smile, "Go to the duty room and see who's here. I'll give you a day off."

"Who?" Yun Chen became interested and thought, could it be Xiaoliu?

Ye Yan pushed her hard, "Go ahead, leave this to me. I've handled these things before. I'll register with Runhe."

After saying thank you, Yun Chen ran away quickly.

Ye Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction, feeling that he was a really good person.

Noticing that Run He was getting a little impatient waiting on the side, Ye Yan quickly opened the box, took out the black and glossy little object, and read the name:

"A plum blossom and moon-shattering jade pendant."

On the other side, in Huo Gang's room.

A figure was bent over a desk, formally registering the names.

Ever since Xun Xun joined the Huo Gang, he was assigned to the southernmost tea shop.

Because he was careful and meticulous in his work and made continuous contributions in competing with the Yu family for tea transportation, he was transferred back to Yancheng and promoted to the guard of Beiningtang.

Being promoted to the Imperial Guard means that he no longer has to wander around and can take good care of his family in Yancheng.

This is a brand new beginning and a more secure future.

The more Xun Xun thought about it, the happier he felt, and he wrote his name in the register very solemnly.

He thought, this time, he might as well get rid of the nickname "Dog Brother" completely!

The registration clerk leaned over to Xun Xun's name and asked, "How do you pronounce these two words?"

Xun Jian straightened his chest and was about to announce his name loudly when he heard a joyful voice from a distance:

"Dog brother!!!"

The registration clerk nodded, apparently having memorized how to pronounce the two words "Xun Xun".

Xun Xuan sighed resignedly and looked back helplessly.

Yun Chen rushed over and shouted excitedly:

"Dog brother! I missed you so much!"

Xun Yan hugged Yun Chen's shoulders and grinned:

"You've grown taller, little brat! But you're still too skinny!"

Yun Chen pulled Xun Jian out, "Brother Gou! I'll treat you to a meal! Let's have stewed mutton!"

Xun Xun agreed with a big laugh, but then he remembered that he had sent all his monthly allowance back home to support his wife, children and the elderly over the past year.

It cost him a lot to come here this time, and he is a little short of money at the moment.

At this time, Yun Chen took out a bulging purse, secretly stuffed it into his arms, and whispered:

"Brother Gou, hide quickly and don't let anyone see you! This is the money my sister-in-law has used to mend my clothes over the years. I've saved enough now, so I'll give it back to you. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy!"

Xun Xun knew that Yun Chen was afraid of embarrassing him, so he deliberately tried to make him laugh and acted like he was doing something sneaky.

He wanted to refuse, but Yun Chen was determined to keep it, so he had no choice but to accept it, feeling warm and guilty.

Yun Chen saw what he was thinking and said with a frank smile:

"Brother Gou, stop imagining things. During those years at the martial arts school, if it weren't for my sister-in-law's constant help with sewing, I wouldn't have had decent clothes to wear. I should give you this money. I have nothing and no use for it. If you don't accept it, it will make my conscience uneasy and damage my reputation as Yun Chen, who always repays kindness!"

Xun Xun was deeply moved. He moved his mouth for a long time and only uttered one sentence: "You kid! Hey..."

The two of them walked out of the Huo Mansion arm in arm, found a mutton restaurant, and were served a meal of wine and meat. They chatted for most of the night about all sorts of things, told each other about their experiences of the past year, and drank until late at night before returning home.

When Huo Gannian sent someone to find Yun Chen, she had just climbed onto the couch and lay down.

The master is calling, so you have to crawl there.

She had no choice but to suppress her sleepiness and go to Beining Hall.

Huo Gannian was waiting for her in the study. When he saw her come in drunk, his eyes darkened and many unspeakable images flashed through his mind.

"Have you seen Xun Xun?"

She smiled happily: "See you, and I treated Brother Gou to some mutton!"

"That's good." He nodded and handed her a letter. "There's an address on it near Youzhou. It might be your benefactor. Go look for him."

She took the letter in a daze, but she no longer had the same expectations as before.

Seeing her holding the letter, with her head down and silent, her body slightly swaying due to being drunk, he motioned for her to sit down.

Because she was a little drunk, she forgot that the guard should bring a small stool for her to sit on, and she sat down directly on the guest seat.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" There was a smile in his eyes.

She shook her head and was silent for a long time before she asked softly:

"Young Master, do you think... should I continue to look for my benefactor?"
