A trace of regret flashed across Zhou Yue's eyes, but he quickly returned to his normal expression and spoke to Chaoge in the gentlest tone possible.
"Thank you, Elder Zhou. This is not necessary. Since you have nothing to say, please go down and prepare the accounts. I want to see them tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Chaoge walked straight towards the bedroom.
As soon as he came in, the former gang leader who was so high-spirited in the afternoon was now lying on the bed again, with a soft quilt draped over him. He leaned against the head of the bed, quietly reading the book in his hand.
He doesn't look like a man of the world, but more like a scholar with a wealth of knowledge.
"No wonder you always wear a mask. It turns out that your face... But as a child of Jianghu, you don't need to care about these things."
Seeing Chaoge coming in with her medicine box in her hand, the gang leader put down the book in his hand and spoke in a gentle voice.
“Well, I really didn’t care much.
Let me take your pulse first. Have you eaten dinner today?"
"I ate, but not much. The cook's cooking skills were not as good as yours. I couldn't eat after a few bites. But they have heated up the medicine you boiled this morning for me to drink."
Upon hearing this, Chaoge pulled the former gang leader's wrist and carefully felt his pulse.
"I told you that you can't use your internal energy. Why did you go to the square today? Fortunately, you are fine for now, but the prescription has to be changed. I will make you something to eat later. After you use the medicine, I won't be here with you tonight."
"Okay, I've asked someone to clean up the yard. From now on, this yard will be yours. But asking you to cook for me is against the rules. I can only eat as much as I can. I can't ask you to cook for me all the time, right?"
"You have to eat more now. Since you can't eat what others cook, I will cook for a few more days. When you feel better, you can try to eat what they cook. There is no need to move to another courtyard. You can live here first..."
"This is the rule, and I can't break it. After I step down as the leader of the gang, it will be inconvenient for me to stay here. But it seems that I have to wait until the spring before leaving."
"Why are you leaving? Didn't I tell you to be the deputy gang leader?"
"Hahahahahaha, the Beggars' Sect has been established for so long, how can there be a deputy leader?"
"Well, as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, I can add a new rule like this. I have every right to do so, right? To be honest, I have to go back in a few days, so you still have to help me keep an eye on all the matters of the Beggars' Sect."
"Go back? Beipinglu?"
"No, you believe what I say, but are you willing to help me?"
Seeing that Chaoge didn't say anything, the former gang leader stopped asking and nodded, "Okay, it's actually nothing serious. If there is anything serious, I will let someone notify you."
When she returned to her own courtyard from the former gang leader's bedroom, it was already the end of the evening. Bai Han and his sons had already gone to bed, but Qin Yuehan was still sitting in the main hall of the courtyard, as if waiting for her.
"Why are you still here if you're not sleeping?"
Chaoge walked in suspiciously, frowned and looked at the man sitting in the armchair, playing Go with his subordinates, with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"Wait for you. I'm afraid the elders won't let you go. After all, it's so easy for you to take over the position of the Beggars' Sect."
Chaoge...
"I didn't expect that there were indeed a few troublemakers among the ten elders, but when I went there tonight, everyone's attitude was quite good, and no one expressed any objection."
Chaoge sat down beside him, picked up the tea and took a sip. He was indeed feeling a little emotional and a little surprised.
According to her performance in today's competition, it was obvious that she won by cheating. She still found it hard to believe that even if Elder Xue, Wu Ting and Sun Shanhai did not show up, the others would be willing to do so. They had every reason to attack her together again.
But they didn't, and were even very respectful to him. This was the only thing that made Chaoge feel comforted about the Beggars' Sect.
“That’s good. Although the Beggars’ Sect is a gang, it still has its own rules. It is said that the ten elders are all veterans of the Beggars’ Sect. They have not rebelled for so many years. Even if they are dissatisfied with you, they will probably give you some time to grow.
If you become the leader of the gang and things really don’t go as planned, then they will try to turn you against them and you won’t be able to refute them.”
Chao Ge was naturally aware of this, so she strongly wanted to keep the former gang leader to help her take care of things. At least in the next few months, family matters still needed to be dealt with, and the matter between her and Jun Yumo had to be settled. If she wanted to come to the Beggars' Sect, she had to bring her child with her, and her family had to be settled.
Other things are actually trivial matters, but the matter between Jun Yumo and myself is a bit of a headache.
How could it be possible to say that I had no attachment to that man? After all, they had been married for more than a year. At least during those few months of living together day and night, the goodness of that man was still lingering in my mind. However, the problems between them were not big, but not small either.
Maybe for some things, time really can erase a lot.
"I know. If I really can't do it, I will take the initiative to leave. At least you have to let me try first, right?"
"Well, I believe you can."
Qin Yuehan's warm eyes were smiling at him in the candlelight. Chaoge was a little annoyed and stood up. "It's getting late. I have to go to bed. I hope to get everything done tomorrow. You can't stay here forever. If they know your fake identity, I will be implicated by you."
After saying that, Chaoge went straight to the main house.
Looking at the indifferent back, Qin Yuehan shook her head, but was still satisfied. Although she was disliked, she did not ruthlessly drive her away.
"Master, you will get deeper and deeper like this..."
"It's none of your business."
Qin Feng......
Returning to the house, Chaoge locked the door, lay on the bed, let down the curtains around him, and slipped into the space.
As soon as she entered the space, the warm climate and greenery everywhere made her depressed mood instantly improve a lot.
After taking off her coat, she walked to the side of General Dong Xiangguo who had been captured last time, grabbed his wrist, and took his pulse. It was good, and his life force was strong. Then she gave him an injection and woke him up.
"You, you let me go."
General Dong Xiangguo, who had no idea how long he had slept, looked at Chaoge's masked face with horror in his eyes.
"You've been hungry for several days, right? Why are you still so energetic? Do you want to eat something? If not, I'll knock you out again."
Holding a glass of milk in one hand and a plate of sesame cakes in the other, Chaoge looked at the man who had been tied up like a dumpling by her with sarcasm in her eyes.
This is how she treated him almost every time for more than a month.
