Chapter 45 How delicious is it?
Chunzhi glanced at him and whispered, "I'll make you something delicious tonight." Block your mouth.
Huo Zheng's thin lips curled slightly as he asked, "How delicious is it?"
This statement clearly has a hidden meaning.
The two of them have been sleeping in the same bed these days and doing that thing like fish in water.
Chunzhi understood what he meant and her ears started to feel hot. She turned around and ignored him.
Huo Zheng smiled and didn't push her too hard.
Chunzhi wrapped the medicine residue in cloth, afraid that someone like Huo Zheng would recognize it as an abortion pill, and prepared to take it to a faraway place to throw it away.
Before leaving, she remembered the small box on the Eight Immortals Table, which contained a hundred taels of gold.
If it's placed so casually, what if it gets stolen by a thief?
Chunzhi asked Huo Zheng, "Now that Master Gu is gone, what will happen to all this gold?"
Huo Zheng said indifferently, "Since he gave it to you, just keep it."
Chunzhi said, "But I can't take this money."
After receiving the money, it was as if she had sold the jade beads.
Moreover, when Yuzhu sold herself as a slave, she only earned a few taels of silver. This gold was enough to buy a hundred Yuzhus.
But it is absolutely impossible to ask Chunzhi to sell Yuzhu.
Huo Zheng knew what Chunzhi was refusing, so he said to her, "Then you give it to Yuzhu."
"Okay." Chunzhi put the medicine residue in the corner and went to find Yuzhu with the box.
Gu Yuanjia had been gone for a long time, but Yuzhu seemed still not to have recovered.
"Yuzhu." Chunzhi called her softly, "This box was left by Master Gu. There are a hundred taels of gold in it. I can't take it. You should keep it."
Yuzhu stood up suddenly, looking uneasy and said, "I can't accept it even more."
Chunzhi noticed that she looked strange and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Yuzhu whispered, "The eldest master asked me to come back to the mansion in seven days, I..."
Chunzhi heard this and said angrily, "You've already redeemed yourself and are no longer a servant in the Gu Mansion. Why does he want you to return to the Gu Mansion in seven days?"
No wonder Gu Yuanjia left as soon as he said he would. It turned out that he had set his sights on Yuzhu and was forcing her to go back after seven days, so he didn't take her away by force today.
Yuzhu almost muttered to herself, "No one dares to disobey what the eldest master says. If he can find this place, it means that no matter where I go, he can find me..."
"Yuzhu, don't be afraid." Chunzhi said in a gentle voice, "I'm here. I won't let the Gu family take you away."
Although she didn't know what Huo Qi said to Gu Yuanjia.
But if he could persuade Gu Yuanjia once, he could definitely persuade him a second time.
Thinking this, Chunzhi turned around and walked out.
"Sister Chunzhi." Yuzhu called her and asked softly, "Is the abortion pill... ready?"
Chunzhi said apologetically, "I was so busy talking that I burnt the medicine. I'll go to the clinic and get another dose."
"No need." Yuzhu said, "The eldest master already knows I'm here. I can't stay here for long. I have to leave immediately."
After the abortion, it was difficult for her to walk. She didn't have time to abort the child here, so it was better for her to leave first.
Chunzhi was a little worried for her, "Leave? If you leave here, where else can you go?"
Yuzhu's parents have passed away, and she only has one younger brother who is studying in academy, so it is not easy for him to go to.
Yuzhu had nowhere else to go except here.
Otherwise, she would not have come to Chunzhi after leaving the Gu Mansion.
"I don't know where else I can go, but I really can't stay here anymore. Sister Chunzhi, thank you for taking care of me these days. I'm leaving now."
Yuzhu said this and started packing up.
When she came, she didn't bring any luggage, just two sets of clothes and a bag of silver, which she packed quickly.
Chunzhi helped her pack, "Take this gold with you."
Yuzhu shook her head, "I don't dare to take the eldest master's things."
"Then, wait a moment." Chunzhi took out the three hundred taels of silver notes she had hidden away, took half, and handed the one hundred and fifty taels to Yuzhu. "Take these. You're out here alone, and you'll have a lot of money to spend. Remember to hide it well and don't show off your wealth. Okay?"
When Yuzhu saw Chunzhi take out the silver bills that she had hidden so deeply, she knew that these were her most precious treasures.
A person selling tofu as a small business would have to work hard for many years to save up enough money. Now Chunzhi gave her half of it without saying a word.
"Sister Haruji..."
Yuzhu was so moved that she couldn't say anything. Her eyes were red and tears fell one after another.
Chunzhi raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears on Yuzhu's face, "Why are you crying? This money was given by Lu Jingyun. He owed me, so I asked him for the money. Now I can help you, which is also a good thing."
When she mentioned Lu Jingyun now, she was calm and composed, without any trace of the miserable look she had when she cried all the way when she left the Lu family.
Chunzhi said softly, "But I also need to save some money for emergencies, so I can't give it all to you..."
Yuzhu held Chunzhi's hand and said, "This is already a lot. But you gave me so much silver, didn't you discuss it with your brother-in-law?"
Chunzhi whispered, "He doesn't know I have hidden so much money."
"ah?"
Yuzhu never expected that Chunzhi had hidden so much money from Huo Qi, but then she thought about it and realized that they had been married for only a short time, so it was normal for them to hide some things from each other.
After all, Huo Qi doesn't look like an ordinary citizen. Anyone who can talk to the eldest master must be rich or noble, and must not be an ordinary commoner.
It’s just that Yuzhu has been living here these days, and she saw that Chunzhi and Huo Qi get along very naturally, and the two of them are together at night... every night without rest.
As an outsider, it would be inappropriate for her to make Chunzhi guard against her husband.
Yuzhu wiped her tears and whispered to Chunzhi, "It's only natural to hide some private money after marriage. Has my brother-in-law said what to do with the gold?"
Chunzhi said, "He said that since Master Gu gave it to me, he should keep it. He didn't say anything else."
"My brother-in-law isn't a greedy person." Yuzhu said, "My brother-in-law asked you to keep it, so just keep it. The eldest master doesn't need this little money, and he won't take back what he gives."
Hearing this, Chunzhi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll put it away first."
Just treat this hundred taels of gold as if it fell from the sky, and don’t waste it.
Yuzhu also collected the banknote Chunzhi had given her, stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, sister, for taking me in these days. Yuzhu bids farewell."
"Yuzhu, what are you doing?"
Chunzhi quickly helped Yuzhu up.
Yuzhu said with sadness: "After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. I only hope that my sister and brother-in-law are safe and sound. Yuzhu is far away from home, and she will burn incense and pray for my sister and brother-in-law every day."
"There's no need for this between you and me." Chunzhi said, "Don't rush to leave. I'll ask Huo Qi to go outside and see if the Gu family has anyone guarding the door."
Yuzhu nodded, "Thank you, sister."
Chunzhi walked out of the house and called out, "Huo Qi."
Huo Qi was writing something in the room. He looked up at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
