Chapter 67 Divorce Letter
Pei Zhouwu stepped back and immediately turned his back.
In order to avoid being discovered and causing panic, he quickened his pace and soon disappeared into the woods where the moonlight could not reach.
The stone-paved path is winding and you can get out by following the original path.
But when he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the panic that was difficult to conceal seeped out through his pupils. He slowly raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, and his uncontrollable heartbeat seemed to be about to roll out of his throat.
The scene just now inexplicably reminded him of the pond in Xiangshan.
And also, Su Yueying, who was also soaking in the pool with her shoulders exposed.
It was a hot summer month, and Ying would go to the pond every night to clean herself. Sometimes she would take him with her, and sometimes she would soak in the water alone. Her silhouette with her back to the water...
He suddenly turned around and thought about the figure he had just seen.
"Ah-Hina?"
He didn't know why, but that figure reminded him of Su Yueying.
As he thought about it, his feet moved unconsciously, and he was about to take a step towards the hot spring again.
"Sir, that's the women's hot spring, you can't go there."
An anxious male voice came from the other end of the road they came from, followed by another male voice.
"I know, but I'm really in a hurry to find someone."
After a while, two people appeared in front of Pei Zhouwu.
One of them was wearing inn clothes, probably a waiter in the store.
The other person who looked polite should be a guest entering the mountain, but...
When the waiter saw Pei Zhouwu, he was so scared that his eyes widened. "You... why are you a man here? The hot springs here are all women..."
He stopped talking halfway.
The waiter's eyes moved back and forth between Pei Zhouwu and the other man, and then he asked the man as if he understood, "You are here to look for him, right? You two look so alike, are you brothers?"
The man next to the waiter was Shen Yiliang.
“Not really.”
Shen Yiliang denied it and took another step forward.
When passing by Pei Zhouwu, he nodded at him politely.
Speaking of shock, the two parties felt the strongest. Apart from their blood relatives, when they saw a stranger who looked so similar to themselves, they would inevitably pay attention and take a few more glances.
But it was just two more eyes.
After all, he is a stranger. You can't just pull him aside and ask him the reason.
Such things are not uncommon. There are so many people in the world. Even in Pei Zhouwu's army, there are often people who are not brothers but look similar.
"Hey, you can't go over there."
The guy caught up with a worried look on his face, stopped in front of Pei Zhouwu and put his hands on his hips in distress.
"Sir, when did you come in? I just drank a few more sips of soup last night, and just now I couldn't hold it in and went to relieve myself. When I came back, I saw you two all went to the women's hot spring. How offensive."
"Feel sorry."
Pei Zhouwu himself also felt offended.
"This is my first time at this hot spring inn. I didn't see anyone there just now, so I came here on my own. I was indeed rude and offended."
He also noticed that the man who had just said he was looking for someone was going in the same direction he had just left.
There was only one small hot spring pool in that place, and the person he was looking for was most likely the one he had just seen...
Thinking of this, the guilt and shame I felt for the offense became even stronger.
What if that woman is the wife of the man just now?
He even had the audacity to associate the woman with his Ah Ying, and even wanted to find out what was going on.
"Sir, the men's bath is on the other side. I'll take you there. It's not a coincidence that there were several waiters and waitresses waiting outside to usher in guests. Maybe they are busy receiving guests and have gone inside. It's our fault for not being considerate enough. Please come this way, sir."
…
Shen Yiliang went to Liu Fuying's hot spring pool, but did not get close to it. He just stood far away with his back turned and shouted towards the people below.
"Sister Fuying, are you there?"
“Sister Fu Ying, I’m Shen Yiliang!”
Even if he didn't tell her his name, Liu Fuying knew it was him.
Sister Fuying.
Only Shen Yiliang would call her like this.
"Madam, this Mr. Shen is really strange." Jin Li frowned, revealing a bit of displeasure. "Although you are older than him, you are already a married woman and the mother of two children after all, so he should respectfully address you as Madam. What about sister or not? It's not nice for people to hear. Also, this is a female bathing pool, and he, a man, came in directly. If someone saw this, wouldn't it be considered private..."
Jin Li didn't even dare to say the following words.
Liu Fuying turned around and looked upward, with an expression of uncertainty as to whether he was happy or sad.
"You should go ask him first. He is not usually so tactless. Maybe something happened to Jie Ling."
Jin Li was furious. She threw her sleeves and walked away with heavy steps.
When he came back, his face looked a little more anxious.
"Madam, it turns out that something happened to Mr. Shen's sister. Mr. Shen said that his sister and Ah Sheng went to the new shop in the afternoon and did not come back until nightfall. Mr. Shen went to look for them before, but not only did he not find anyone in the shop, but the shop was also smashed and his sister and child were nowhere to be found."
Liu Fuying had already reached the shore and changed his clothes in a small thatched hut with a curtain hanging on the shore.
“I’ve asked Master Shen to wait outside the mountain, Madam, are we going to help find his sister?”
"Given the relationship between me and Yui Ling, I can't just sit there and do nothing."
When they returned to the inn, only Xiyun and the maid Luping who took care of her were there. Luping begged the nanny to take them to catch grasshoppers. At that time, the maid saw that Xiyun could not leave, so she told Shen Yiliang the number of Liu Fuying's hot spring and asked him to ask the waitress outside the hot spring to go in and pass on the message. Unexpectedly, there was no one guarding the hot spring at that time, so Shen Yiliang rushed in alone in a hurry.
"Mianmei, you better stay here with Sister Luping obediently."
Liu Fuying squatted in front of Shen Xi'er and rubbed her cute face.
"Mother is going down the mountain and will be back later. You have to listen to Sister Lu Ping and Mammy, okay?"
"I know." Chen Ximei nodded obediently and assured him, "Don't worry, mother. Ximei is the most obedient child in the world."
Liu Fuying smiled and poked her small nose.
After getting up, he took Jin Li and went down the mountain.
At this time, the general's mansion at the foot of the mountain was in chaos again.
Old Madam Shen cried for the whole afternoon. After she woke up from being unconscious for a long time, she was about to hang herself with a white silk scarf.
Chen Xiunian, who rushed over, felt a splitting headache when he saw this scene.
It’s all Liu Fuying’s fault!
In the afternoon, she ran away with her child, leaving behind only a divorce letter. When her mother saw the letter, she started making a fuss.
"Get out of here!"
The old lady was pulled by a group of people, still not forgetting to point at Shen Xiunian and scold him.
"You bastard, you don't even like your own child. You made A Yin run away and you dare to come see me."
"Mother……"
"Don't call me mother. It was Ayin who took care of me for so many years, not you. From the day you joined the army until now, how many times have you come back to see me and how long have you been with me? How much space do you have in your heart for me? That year, I was caught in the rain and had a fever for several days and almost lost my life. Ayin was pregnant and stayed up all night to take care of me. What about you? Check your conscience and ask yourself."
