Chapter 203 You Are Not Really a Little Mute

"Here you go. The extra thirty taels will be considered interest."

Yun Wanye raised his eyebrows and slapped two thousand taels of silver in front of Yun Wanyao. His expression and movements were very heroic.

The extra thirty taels???

Is this true? Yun Wanyao was stunned for a moment, looked at him doubtfully, and then picked up the banknotes and counted them carefully.

One hundred taels of value, twenty pieces in total.

Yes, it was two thousand taels, but the problem was that this guy had always been stingy, so why would he suddenly become so generous?

She always felt that something was not right.

"I said I'd give it to you today, so I'll give it to you today. I always keep my word. From now on, don't call me a big liar who doesn't keep his word. Do you hear me?"

He reached out and patted her lightly on the head.

Yun Wanyao slapped his hand away without any hesitation and happily took the banknote.

Although it was delayed for one night, I still made a net profit of thirty taels, which is a profit no matter how you look at it. I just don't know what the hell this guy is doing.

"You still have some conscience."

She muttered something, put away the banknote, and suddenly looked at him inquiringly.

"By the way, Yun Wanye, did you drink some fake wine last night?"

Could it be that he was poisoned and lost consciousness? Otherwise, it was surprising that this guy didn't default on his debt, so why would he give her more money? The more Yun Wanyao thought about it, the more curious she became.

Yun Wanye: “…”

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have given her the extra thirty taels.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, return the thirty taels to me."

"don't want!"

Hearing this, Yun Wanyao immediately took a step back in shock, away from the young man in front of her.

She covered her chest tightly and looked at him warily, fearing that he would be unsportsmanlike and try to snatch her away.

"You've given it to me, how can you give it up? Isn't it okay if I don't say anything nonsense?"

Seeing this, Yun Wanye sneered and was too lazy to argue with her about the thirty taels of silver.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at her thoughtfully, and said casually, "By the way, your engagement has been cancelled. Do you have any thoughts on your lifelong event?"

"After the New Year, in the early spring, mother will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you. After that, it will be time for you to look for a husband again. Apart from the King of Qi, do you have any other men you like?"

Speaking of this, Yun Wanyao's mood became visibly depressed, and she felt annoyed and distressed.

She has already prepared herself to remain single for the rest of her life, but unless there is really no one willing to marry her, her parents will definitely not allow her to not marry.

Just as Ruyun Wanye said, after the coming-of-age ceremony, her mother will definitely ask people everywhere to find a suitable candidate for her.

And she couldn't keep dragging it out under her mother's constant nagging, so she had to choose one.

"I don't know many men in Beijing, and most of them are already engaged. Who can I fall in love with?"

Apart from Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye, the only men she knew were Mo Yuanlin, Mo Yuanhao, Xie Xuanyong, Lu Huaijin, Lin Xingxuan, and Pei Yu...

You can count them on one hand.

Xie Xuanyong belongs to Jiang Zitang, Mo Yuanlin belongs to the emperor, and the rest are either Su Qianxue's or have all been engaged early on.

What could she do? She couldn't be so low as to compete with Jiang Zitang or the other girls for a man, right?

The answer was as expected, and a smile flashed across Yun Wanye's eyes imperceptibly.

"So that's the man you didn't like?"

"nonsense."

Yun Wanyao rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to bother with him anymore.

She didn't want to think about these questions, but he kept asking them. What a tactless and annoying guy.

"Since you don't like anyone, then consider the emperor. I have investigated for you, and the emperor really likes you. If you..."

Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered tightly by two soft little hands. Yun Wanyao looked at him in horror, as if she was frightened.

"Shut up, shut up, and don't say anything more. I'm telling you, I won't enter the palace. Stop talking nonsense in the future."

The emperor has never been interested in women, so how could he possibly like her?

When did this guy develop hysteria?

The disease is quite serious. If there is really no cure, take him to see the local doctor to check his brain and see if there is any cure.

Yun Wanye: “…”

Although he had bad intentions, he only said one sentence. Was it necessary for her to react so strongly? Alas, it seemed that she really resisted the emperor. This matter was a bit difficult to handle.

Forget it. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This matter can't be rushed. Just put it aside for now and wait for him to deal with it slowly.

Today is a day off.

Yun Zheng had a rare moment of free time, so after finishing the things in his hands, he went to see Yun Chuchu first, and then came to Wan'an Garden and stayed by Yun Wanning's side.

The little cotton-padded jacket seems to have grown a little bit.

Her little cheeks were chubby and soft, and her big black eyes were watery, which made Yun Zheng's heart melt. His rough big hands hooked her short fingers lovingly.

However, Yun Wanning had already reached the stage where she was very active. There was a restlessness running through her blood that she couldn't place anywhere, and she couldn't lie down at all.

So, after staring at her father for less than two minutes, she ruthlessly withdrew her fingers and rolled around on the bed under Yun Zheng's gaze, enjoying herself very much.

Looking at the little baby moving around on the bed, Yun Zheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and pampering.

Ningning is really lively and active. When he grows up, he will definitely have good physical fitness. If he is a boy, he will definitely be a good candidate to lead troops to fight.

Girls don't have to go through that hardship.

Just then, a figure walked in through the open door.

The little maid bowed to Yun Zheng and Madam Yun and said, "My Lord, Madam, Mr. Lu is here and wants to see you in the front yard."

"Okay, got it, go ahead and get busy."

Madam Yun smiled, waved her hand to send the maid away, and turned to look at Yun Zheng.

"Husband, go quickly, don't delay things."

"Yeah, okay."

Yun Zheng turned his head to look at the little girl rolling on the bed, and reached out to touch her face.

"Ningning, Dad has something to deal with, so I'll leave first. When I'm done, I'll come back to accompany you."

[Okay, go ahead, Dad.]

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yun Wanning lay on her back, stretched out her little arms and waved to him.

【goodbye.】

[I am always busy on weekdays, and even on vacation I still have things to deal with. It is really not an easy day for Dad. ]

【By the way, isn’t the purpose of being an official to live a better life? 】

[There are so many things to do all day long, and I don’t even have a little freedom. I get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. I work harder than the workers who work from 9 to 6. What’s the point of being an official? ]

[Officials of the Dawu Kingdom work four days and rest one day. During the court session, they must arrive at the court on time at the hour of Mao, which is six o'clock.]

[Although the court is located in the Xuanzheng Hall of the front palace, it is not far from the palace gate according to the blueprint, but it takes at least 20 to 30 minutes to walk there.]

[Add to that the time it took officials to dress, wash, and travel from home to the palace. They had to get up at 4:30 every day, which was really hard work. No wonder people in ancient times had short lives.]

【……】

Madam Yun: “…”

Yun Zheng: “…”

Just as he reached the door, he heard a series of complaints from her. Especially when he heard the words "people in ancient times had short lives", Yun Zheng slipped and almost fell.

What does this mean? Does longevity have anything to do with getting up too early and going to bed too late? It seems to be true. Look at the wealthy families in Beijing. Many of them are still alive and widowed in their seventies or eighties.

Many of them have been widowed for many years.

Why do these old ladies live longer than their husbands?

Maybe this is really the reason Ningning said.

It seems that he must retire as soon as possible. He wants to live a few more years to accompany his wife, and it would be best if he passes away at the same time as his wife. He does not want to die early from overwork and leave his wife to be coveted by others.

Front hall.

Lu Wu sat in a chair and sipped tea leisurely, his eyes fixed on the anxious little guy in the corner.

The little guy was yellow and thin, with exposed skin covered with scars. One of his eyes was glued together so that the eyeball could not be seen, and his whole body was dirty.

She was like a frightened little animal, looking warily at everything around her with her only remaining eye.

"Hey, you're not really a little mute, are you?"

Putting the teacup aside, Lu Wu looked at her curiously.

Along the way, the little guy didn't say a word, not even a hum.

Afraid that she would make a noise, he knocked her out and stole the things from the store.

I thought she would make a big noise when she woke up, but she was like a mute, not saying a word. Apart from looking at him in panic and vigilance, she didn't shout at all.

How could a child this young react like this when faced with strangers and unknown situations?

Lu Wu became interested.

The journey was long and the schedule was tight, but he still managed to be patient and talk to her over and over again, but she never opened her mouth.

"Seeing how miserable you are, I was thinking that if you were to complain, I might be able to vent your anger for you..."

Although he spoke casually, Lu Wu's heart was not as calm as he appeared.

When he first saw this little girl, he was shocked by her miserable condition. None of her ten fingers had any nails, they were all bare, and her fingers were covered with needle holes and scars.

Not to mention the body.

In addition to the scars all over, there were several broken bones, and many of them were broken and then treated casually, and then broke again.

Due to various reasons, the bones grow crookedly, the joints are dislocated, and many abnormal bulges appear.

One of his eyes was blinded and his appearance was ruined...

He didn't speak the whole way, so I don't know if there was any problem with his hearing or vocal cords.

What kind of hell was this business that could turn a good child into this state? Although this little girl was specifically requested by Yun Zheng, Lu Wu at that time did not know the relationship between her and Yun Zheng, and only thought that Yun Zheng wanted her for other purposes.

But even so, it couldn't stop him from developing sympathy that he shouldn't have.

Da da da…

A steady sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Lu Wu came to his senses, turned his head to look at the door, and saw a tall and majestic figure walking towards him.

It’s Yun Zheng!
