Chapter 436 Heartache
Ye Beixiu returned home exhausted. After returning home, he washed himself first and then had dinner with Zhang Juexia.
While eating, he saw that Zhang Juexia was worried and looked unhappy.
During this time, he picked up some food for Zhang Juexia several times, but in the end, Zhang Juexia didn't finish it, so he picked up the leftovers.
After dinner, Ye Beixiu pulled Zhang Juexia in front of him and asked her to sit on his lap. "Madam, are you worried about something?"
Zhang Juexia did not hide it and told him that he was going to Qingfeng City.
Now, it was Ye Beixiu's turn to be unhappy.
He was suffering from the pain of missing Zhang Juexia and he really didn't want to be separated from her.
He hugged her and asked pitifully, "Can we not go?"
"I have to go. I agreed with Madam Shen last time to send her canned yellow peaches."
"But I can't stay with you."
"I had already thought of this before you came back. This time when I go to Qingfeng City, I will do some thorough research. Once our workshop is built, I will open a shop in Qingfeng City.
Also, in a while, you will have to go to Qingfeng City to take part in the imperial examination. I want to see if there is a suitable house, whether for rent or for purchase, I want to book it first.
You can't really live in the Shen family!"
Ye Beixiu stroked Zhang Juexia's small hand, "My lady is really thoughtful, you can handle these things as you see fit.
If you need me, just tell me."
"Of course, you are indispensable."
Zhang Juexia struggled to get off Ye Beixiu and accidentally touched his arm.
Zhang Juexia heard a barely perceptible sound of someone sucking in a breath of cold air. Although Ye Beixiu tried his best to suppress it, Zhang Juexia still saw through it.
Zhang Juexia quickly stood up and stepped forward to grab Ye Beixiu's arm, "Where are you injured? Let me take a look."
"It's okay. I was sparring with Master today and I accidentally fell into his trap. That's all I got hit with. It's nothing serious!"
"Let me see!"
Zhang Juexia didn't listen to Ye Beixiu's explanation at all. He directly pulled open Ye Beixiu's sleeve. A long red mark appeared on his left arm, like a winding snake.
"How come you're injured so badly?"
Zhang Juexia went to get the medicinal wine with a distressed look on his face, ready to apply it on him.
"I've already taken care of it at Master's house, and it doesn't hurt that much anymore. My lady, there's no need to make such a fuss. It's inevitable to get hurt when practicing martial arts.
Mine is considered light, you haven't seen those fellow disciples, all of them have bruises all over their bodies."
Zhang Juexia's eyes quickly turned red, tears welling up in her eyes. "If I had known this road would be so difficult, I wouldn't have let you take the military imperial examination."
Ye Beixiu reached out to help Zhang Juexia wipe away her tears, "My dear, please don't say such things in the future. You should say more words of encouragement to me, so that I will have motivation!
If you talk about suffering, every road is suffering.
If I had studied since I was young, I would have taken the imperial examination.
It’s a pity that your husband is pregnant, but God gave me such a good body.
My master said that day that I was born to learn martial arts.
So, we should be thankful.”
"But you are injured. Every time you come back, I feel that you are very tired.
Looking at you like this, I feel very sad.
But I don’t know what I should do for you, I…”
Ye Beixiu was moved and hugged Zhang Juexia in his arms. He gently kissed her forehead and said, "My dear, your words are worth it even if I die of exhaustion."
Zhang Juexia raised his head and glared at him, "You're talking more nonsense."
"My dear, for the sake of our good life in the future, it's worth it no matter how tired I am.
You see, since I passed the exam for the Martial Scholar, our business has been much smoother than before."
What Ye Beixiu said was true. It was indeed much smoother than before. Even the thugs looking for trouble at the door were basically gone.
"In the future, when I pass the military examination, I dare not say anything else, but at least no one in Shunhe County will dare to covet our family's business.
Our family has become one of the most prestigious families in Shunhe County. When you go out, at least people will respectfully address you as Madam."
Ye Beixiu took the opportunity to kiss Zhang Juexia again, "Even though I come from a rural background, I feel like God has blessed me to be able to marry you, meet Uncle Liu, and have so many people help us later.
I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to use my abilities to protect my wife and children and ensure they live a happy life."
Zhang Juexia lay on Ye Beixiu's shoulder contentedly, "This is enough."
"Then don't hold me back anymore. This injury is really nothing. It will heal in a few days.
I will work hard for my husband and make sure that the hardship I am enduring now is not in vain."
"Well, I support you."
The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Juexia was busy preparing a gift for Old Madam Shen.
She had only prepared half of the gifts when Li Yun came to tell her, "Madam, the wife of the third young master of the Liu family is here to see you."
"who?"
Zhang Juexia squinted his eyes and thought, who is it?
How come she hasn't heard of this person?
After Li Yingyue left yesterday, she felt uneasy and was always worried that the county magistrate's wife would come to see her.
In fact, she also felt that she was thinking too much. After all, the magistrate's wife was not on the same level as her, and she would never come to see her.
Li Yingyue is a little too sensitive, or maybe I overestimate her.
Li Yun was waiting for Zhang Juexia's reply. Seeing that she was still in a daze, he quickly said, "Madam, are you confused by what I said just now? The person outside is Li Yiran, Miss Li."
"Hey, if you had said that earlier, you wouldn't have made me think for so long about who this person is!
Sister Yang, don't just stand there, please invite the person in quickly!
With her temper, if we make her wait for too long, she might just turn around and leave."
Li Yun quickly turned around and said, "Then I'll quickly invite her in. I didn't expect that this person is quite pretty but has such a quick temper."
Zhang Juexia followed closely behind Li Yun and took Li Yiran to her yard.
Li Yiran looked at her yard carefully, "Not bad."
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Juexia for a moment, "Well, you look good, it's obvious that you are living a very good life."
Zhang Juexia handed the teacup to Li Yiran and gestured for her to drink. "You've acquired a new skill. You've learned how to read people's faces."
"I know so many things!"
Li Yiran proudly drank the water from the teacup in one gulp, "Hurry up and pour me another cup, it's too hot out here."
Zhang Juexia filled her glass with water and looked at her carefully while she was drinking.
Li Yiran's face looked gloomy, and the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious. She guessed that she hadn't slept all night.
"I suppose you came to me for more than just fortune-telling, right?"
