Chapter 91 Let's Elope
Hearing this, Zhou Yunshu pricked up her ears silently.
You can hear such big gossip even when going to the toilet, and the protagonist of the gossip is Yang Bingtian, who is said to be in the government office.
"Give me a little more time."
Zhou Yunshu nodded silently. Hmm, this is a familiar quote from a scumbag.
"I understand if one year isn't enough, but I'll keep going if five years aren't enough!" the woman said in despair. "But it's already been twelve years. I've been following you nameless and without any status for twelve years. How many twelve years can a woman have?"
Zhou Yunshu covered the little maidservant in front of her who was already trembling with fear, and felt that the voice of the woman who was speaking sounded familiar.
"Yang Bingtian, I don't need you." The woman's choked voice was heartbreaking. "I was once a noble lady from an aristocratic family. I'm well-educated and have a sense of shame."
"But for you, in order to be with you, I forced myself to become your mistress, a mistress unknown to anyone."
Zhou Yunshu poked her head out.
"Do you know how much pain I feel every time I hear Du Hongyun talk about how good you are to her?"
"We were childhood sweethearts, and we were in love with each other, but in the end, just because she's a princess, the emperor's favorite niece, she can just snatch someone else's sweetheart away."
The woman said sadly: "Cousin, have you never thought about my feelings?"
"For your future, I am willing to give up my position and let others take over; for you, I humble myself and marry into the Zhu family to make profits for you." She grabbed Yang Bingtian's arm and cried bitterly.
"I finally waited for Zhu Jinhua to die, and finally regained my freedom. But I have to create the Red Lotus Sect for you, make money for you, build momentum for you, and raise children for you and my master."
The woman's identity was completely revealed, and even Ansheng's life experience came to light.
Zhou Yunshu dragged the frightened little maidservant and continued to eavesdrop silently.
Yang Bingtian sighed deeply and hugged Qi Xinlian in his arms, "You've suffered a lot over the years."
"But you also know that Du Hongyun is a spoiled and stubborn person. If she finds out about us, do you really think we can reconcile?"
Qi Xinlian, with tears in her eyes, grabbed Yang Bingtian's sleeve and said, "Cousin, let's elope!"
Yang Bingtian frowned when he heard this.
"I don't know where Ansheng was abducted by Wu Gui and his mother. The military supplies and gold and silver stored by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi in Wolong Mountain are also missing." She grabbed Yang Bingtian's clothes in fear, as if she was grabbing her last life-saving straw.
"I'm just making excuses for now, but I can't hide it for long. Once His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi finds out that we've lost both our lives and our wealth, he'll definitely kill us!"
After hearing Qi Xinlian say that all the military supplies and gold and silver in Wolong Mountain had disappeared, Yang Bingtian couldn't help but yelled, "What did you say?"
"What do you mean disappeared? How could it disappear without a trace?!"
Qi Xinlian was frightened by the coldness on Yang Bingtian's face. Her hands and feet became numb and she couldn't stop shaking.
"Cousin, don't do this, you scared me."
Yang Bingtian grabbed Qi Xinlian's arm and shouted, "How could they disappear without a trace?! All the people in Wolong Mountain are yours. How could someone take away Junshou and Ansheng right under your nose?"
"I did a thorough search, but those people came prepared. Not only did they bribe He Wenyuan, but they were no match for the people His Highness left behind. To be able to do such a large thing and secretly transport the items away, I suspect it's too..."
"Shut up!"
"Cousin." Qi Xinlian said in a trembling voice.
Yang Bingtian looked at Qi Xinlian and exhaled deeply, then asked again, "Did you really keep this a secret?"
Qi Xinlian nodded repeatedly, "I said that Wolong Mountain is no longer safe, so I had the Eighteen Caves sealed off. No one can enter except me."
"Your Highness will definitely conduct a thorough investigation." Yang Bingtian said with clenched fists.
If there was still warmth in Yang Bingtian's eyes when he looked at Qi Xinlian before, now there was only coldness in them.
"Cousin, I don't want to die!"
Yang Bingtian held Qi Xinlian in his arms, his voice gentle, but his eyes extremely calm.
"Don't worry, you've been with me for so many years, I will never let you down."
As he spoke, he raised his head and stroked Qi Xinlian's fair but no longer young face with his hand, saying, "I came back so early just to spend some time with you. Don't you miss me?"
Qi Xinlian looked at Yang Bingtian with emotion, "I miss you."
"Then let's go back to the room." He needed to squeeze out all the value from Qi Xinlian.
Qi Xinlian nodded shyly and followed Yang Bingtian to the side yard of Wutong.
After the two left, there was no more sound around.
Zhou Yunshu let go of her hand, and the little maidservant gasped in fear.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Zhou Yunshu, who had heard enough gossip, patted the little maid's shoulder, which scared the extremely nervous little maid.
Zhou Yunshu comforted him, "It's okay. This is not something you can control."
She looked at the little maid's frightened eyes and said seriously, "If you want to live peacefully, just keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone."
"You didn't bring me here today, and we didn't meet Lord Yang and Qi Xinlian, do you understand?"
The little maid's eyes turned red with fear. At this moment, Zhou Yunshu's words were like her backbone, and she could only nod.
"I, I understand!"
After the little maid finished speaking, she added, "Madam, I will take you to another place to change clothes."
"good."
…
When Zhou Yunshu came out after changing her clothes, the maid who brought her here was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Du Huairou, who had left earlier, was sitting on a chair outside as if waiting for her.
"gentlemen."
With just one word, "Sir," Zhou Yunshu knew that her disguise had been completely exposed.
There was no one else in the room, so Zhou Yunshu touched her face and asked, "Is it easy to recognize?"
Du Huairou smiled and said, "It's not easy."
"If Master Feng's voice wasn't familiar to me and your scent hadn't changed, Huairou wouldn't have recognized you."
Zhou Yunshu silently memorized her flaws, thinking of correcting them when she returned.
"No one would have thought that Mr. Zhou would actually be a woman."
Zhou Yunshu sat down next to Du Huairou. She didn't seem embarrassed at all after being exposed. Instead, she smiled and said, "That's just something they don't dare to think about."
"Is there anything I can do to help you, sir?"
Even though he already knew that Zhou Yunshu was a girl, Du Huairou still insisted on calling Zhou Yunshu "Sir".
Zhou Yunshu didn't ask her to change her words, but just said, "You want to help me?"
Du Huairou said to Zhou Yunshu seriously and solemnly: "You saved my miserable life, you helped cremate my child and saved his soul, and you also helped me to avenge my revenge."
"So, as long as you need me, I am willing to be a knife in your hand."
She looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "I didn't have the qualifications to say anything before, but now I do."
