Which sentence offended you? Tell me, and I'll repeat it.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several loud noises.
"Waaah!" With her hands and feet bound and her eyes covered, Yu Xiaohong's hearing was exceptionally sharp. Hearing the noise outside the door, her ears perked up in fright, and she desperately moved her body back, trying to get as far away from the unknown danger as possible.
Bang!
The door opened!
There seemed to be a light. Through the gap in the blindfold, Yu Xiaohong was startled, her heart pounding: Damn cousin Yu Xi, who is he going to sell her to?
Someone has come in.
The person in front had light footsteps. The person behind had heavy footsteps; he was clearly a big guy.
who are they?
Help! Father! Father! Save me! Yu Xiaohong was terrified, sobbing and crying silently.
The man walked up to her.
They removed the cloth from her mouth.
"Help! Help me! Help me!" Yu Xiaohong gasped for breath and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Father! Help! Uncle! Help!"
"You're shouting with energy. Not bad." A familiar voice rang out; it was a woman.
Was it Yu Yue who saved her?
But it was clearly Yu Yue who kidnapped her!
The cloth covering my eyes has come loose.
The torch blazed, suddenly illuminating the area. Yu Xiaohong's eyes stung, and she briefly closed them before opening them again: "Sister-in-law Qingzhou! Is that you?"
How could it be Ye Qingzhou who saved her?
The tall man beside him remained silent, cleaved the rope with a single sword stroke, and then stood silently in a corner of the woodshed, as if no one else had anything to do with him.
Yu Xiaohong rubbed her sore arms, sobbing aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law Qingzhou, my dad set fire to the house, and I lent you money, and you still came to save me. Waaaaah... I never thought it was you who saved me... Just now, I was so scared... Waaaaah..."
"I'm glad you're alright. Be careful in the future."
"Sister-in-law Qingzhou, she's so gentle." Yu Xiaohong threw herself into her arms. This embrace was fragrant and warm, like her mother's. When she got back, she would tell her mother that Yu Yue was a bad woman! A very bad woman!
Someone else came in.
"Huh? You still have the nerve to cry?" Chonghua almost wanted to grab the dirty Yu Xiaohong and pull her out of Ye Qingzhou's arms.
Yu Xiaohong leaned against Ye Qingzhou's chest: "I... I didn't expect Yu Yue to be so heartless. I'm going to complain, I'm going to tell my mother, my mother, and my uncle."
“There are many things you haven’t thought of! Do you know that in order to save you, our girl went to find that local bully surnamed Sima, and was almost molested by him…” Chonghua couldn’t help but single Yu Xiaohong out and scold her like a child.
"Redraw it!" Ye Qingzhou whispered, glancing at Jiang Jinghong beside her. Girl, don't say anything more; this sullen face was someone she had just managed to coax into calming down.
"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law! I've dragged you into this! Waaaaah! I owe you so much! Your kindness and virtue, I..." Before Yu Xiaohong could finish speaking, her stomach started rumbling.
"Hungry?" In the warm firelight, Ye Qingzhou looked even more gentle and sweet, and approachable.
"Mmm!" Yu Xiaohong always felt at ease by Ye Qingzhou's side and spoke her mind freely.
“Redraw it. Good girl, go get her something to eat,” Ye Qingzhou said.
He went out to redraw the picture and then came back with some snacks.
"Please have something delicious. Eat up!" Ye Qingzhou opened the wrapped paper, and the aroma of red bean paste glutinous rice balls wafted out.
"Gurgle gurgle"
The sweet aroma of red bean paste and glutinous rice instantly whetted Yu Xiaohong's appetite, and her stomach rumbled loudly. She was about to decline, but in the blink of an eye, she couldn't resist and took a piece, putting it in her mouth.
"Delicious!" Yu Xiaohong stuffed three of them into her mouth in one go and swallowed them all.
Feeling less hungry, Yu Xiaohong carefully put away the pastries: "Sister-in-law Qingzhou, when I was little, Yu Yue told me that your family's pastries were delicious. I asked her to bring some back, but she always forgot. I remembered for ten years, and today I finally got to eat them."
"Little Red!" Uncle Yu called from afar.
"Uncle!" Yu Xiaohong answered quickly, like a little swallow in its nest.
As soon as Uncle Yu entered the door, Yu Xiaohong, like a fledgling swallow, chirped and chattered to greet him, crying and recounting how she had been abused by Yu Xi and Yu Yue.
Ye Qingzhou and his group then took their leave.
"Yu Xi, is he even human? How did he raise his sister? His own family helped him so much, and he repays kindness with enmity? What a scoundrel!" Uncle Yu's old face grew even longer as he gritted his teeth and spat out these words.
"Uncle, my father took the blame for her! She scolded me, hit me, and even tried to sell me." Yu Xiaohong stuffed the pastries into her arms and dragged her uncle to confront Yu Xi.
The old man and the young girl, unable to find Yu Xi and Yu Yue in the room, waited outside the inn.
There is no moon tonight.
Ye Qingzhou and the others returned to the Ye residence together. Chonghua helped Ye Qingzhou to wash up. Jiang Jinghong and Jiang Yuan went to the front yard, called Li Qi, and went out.
Half an incense stick later, the three returned. The doorman heard the knocking and replied that he would be there shortly.
Li Qi chuckled, "Don't worry, sir! My friend said he'll make sure that kid Yu Xi loses everything, down to his underwear. It's so easy to make someone lose money in a casino!"
Jiang Jinghong shushed her and pointed to the inner courtyard: "Don't let her know."
"Don't worry, sir! I will absolutely live up to the money you've given me!" Li Qi said with a smile.
The doorman opened the door, and the three of them entered the courtyard.
Li Qi stayed in the front courtyard, and Jiang Yuan stayed in the guest room. Jiang Jinghong went straight into the inner courtyard.
The maid had already received word, and after opening the door for Jiang Jinghong, she handed him a lantern before locking it.
Walk through the long corridor to the side room.
The door to the side room was open, the candle wick had grown long, and the flame was flickering. Ye Qingzhou took a pair of scissors and went to trim the wick.
On the table against the wall were shredded sheepskin, roasted goose and duck, spring rolls, Eight Immortals Platter, and side dishes, including snow frog soup.
"You're back? Wash your hands and have dinner!" Ye Qingzhou turned around, saw Jiang Jinghong, and put down the scissors with a smile.
Jiang Jinghong stepped inside, and Ye Qingzhou took the lantern and blew out the candle inside. They began to serve the dishes and porridge.
After the meal, Ye Qingzhou pushed him to the next room to rest.
"Let's talk for a bit! How can you sleep after a full meal?" Jiang Jinghong sat down on the plum blossom stool and didn't move.
That makes sense. Ye Qingzhou agreed, picked up her book, and kept him company while he digested his food.
"Has anything interesting happened these past few days?" Jiang Jinghong took Ye Qingzhou's book and brought her face very close.
"What are you doing? You said you weren't coming! I... I'm still in pain." Ye Qingzhou leaned back, pressing her body against the back of the chair.
"Where does it hurt? Let me see. I'll rub it for you." Jiang Jinghong leaned forward.
Ye Qingzhou immediately covered her chest.
"I thought it was the mouth? The lips are so red." Jiang Jinghong smiled, leaned back a little, and rested on the armrest of her chair.
Are his lips red? Why didn't he say so earlier? Did he see the redrawing and the pumpkin? No wonder Brother Li Qi kept smirking. Ye Qingzhou touched her cheek, belatedly realizing it was burning.
Jiang Jinghong suddenly approached.
With one hand, as swiftly as an eagle hunting its prey, he pulled up her clothes at the chest.
It catches the eye.
Her skin was as white as snow.
A touch of crimson in the snow.
In an instant, Jiang Jinghong felt as if the fire in her heart had been ignited.
Ye Qingzhou grabbed his collar and pressed it down.
After a brief moment of rapid breathing, Jiang Jinghong took a sip of herbal tea.
"I'm sorry, I was rough with you just now. I won't do it again. Don't be angry." Jiang Jinghong looked straight at Ye Qingzhou, and through the layers of clothes, he restrained himself and placed a kiss on her heart.
Ye Qingzhou's eyes darted around, so he quickly changed the subject to divert his attention: "A few days ago, Ye Laosan and his wife came..."
The two talked for a while, and Ye Qingzhou gradually grew tired, her voice grew softer and softer, and she eventually fell asleep.
Jiang Jinghong carried her to the bed, but didn't want to leave. He moved the plum blossom stool to the bedside and stared at the sleeping woman's face.
When the rooster crows, the world turns white.
Yu Xiaohong and her uncle waited all night but didn't see Yu Xi. The next morning, they saw Yu Xi running back, her clothes disheveled.
"Uncle, Uncle, did he go gambling again? He lost so much that he doesn't even care about his health anymore?" Yu Xiaohong glanced at him and realized something was wrong, so she quickly turned her head away.
Uncle Yu didn't care about any of that and went straight up to give him a good scolding.
Yu Xi was being dragged along by his uncle, who kept pushing and yelling at him. Annoyed, he finally pushed his uncle to the ground. Back in the room, he found Yu Yue in the large wardrobe.
"Hey sis, hurry up and give me the money. I'm going to make up for my losses." Yu Xi stretched out her hand.
"Brother, I've given you all my money! Brother, please stop gambling! Mother has even taken odd jobs for you!" Yu Yue grinned, on the verge of tears.
"Don't give me that! When your sister-in-law was rich, you always called my brother 'brother,' but now you're always complaining about being poor and looking down on me." After Yu Xi finished cursing, she reached into her sleeve to check if there was anything hidden.
Sure enough, they found a few copper coins.
Hmph! You brat! Trying to play with him? Do you think you can win? After Yu Xi finished dealing with Yu Yue, she saw Yu Xiao Hong running over.
“Cousin, you pushed Uncle down! He hit his head and it's bleeding, do you know that?” Xiao Hong’s eyes were red.
Did Xiao Hong hide any money? This thought flashed through Yu Xi's mind, and her hand was already outstretched.
No money. But there is a bag of food.
This taste is very familiar.
"You're taking my things! Give them back! This was given to me by Sister-in-law Qingzhou!" Yu Xiaohong shouted, trying to snatch it from the left and right, but Yu Xi was taller than her and it was no use.
Ye Qingzhou?
Yes! She's rich! And she's pregnant with his child.
He asked her for money. He wanted to win back his losses! He wanted to gamble again!
Yu Xi, blinded by greed, abandoned them and ran out. Early the next morning, she squatted at the entrance of the Ye residence.
Why isn't the door open yet? Yu Xi was getting impatient. She reached into the paper package in her arms, took out the cold red bean paste glutinous rice balls, and forced herself to eat them.
Finally, the door opened.
Pumpkin pulled the carriage out, and Li Qi, smiling broadly, led the way, lifting the carriage curtain.
Ye Qingzhou stepped out, her eyebrows curved in a smile. The sunlight bathed her in a soft glow, making her even more radiant and picturesque. She stepped over the threshold, one hand gently supporting her pregnant belly.
That was his son. Thinking of this, Yu Xi mustered her courage, straightened her thin clothes, and was about to step forward.
A man appeared just in time and helped Ye Qingzhou up.
Ye Qingzhou took his arm and used it to walk a few steps before getting into the carriage.
Jiang Jinghong? Is he serious? He's rejected so many beautiful women all these years, why would he fall for Ye Qingzhou? Especially since Ye Qingzhou is pregnant with his son? Has Jiang Jinghong gone mad?
Could it be that I've misread it? Yu Xi hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Jinghong gave Li Qi a wink and then got into the carriage.
Li Qi nodded in understanding and said, "Have a safe journey, son-in-law of the master."
The carriage has departed.
Yu Xi suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly chased after him, but Li Qi grabbed her waist and stopped her, saying, "My son-in-law said that he is not receiving any guests today. Please go back."
"You bastard! You're so condescending. What do you know? What nonsense are you spouting?" Yu Xi was stopped, but she remained defiant.
"Which sentence offended you? Tell me, and I'll say it again!" Stealing money, lying, gambling addict, what kind of good thing are you? Li Qi saw the carriage go far away, let go of the carriage, and picked at his ear.
