Chapter 50 What a Stupid Woman
After the man washed himself, his face was spotlessly white without a single blemish, his features were delicate and beautiful, his eyes were black and bright without a trace of impurities, but he looked dull, as if he had an abnormal IQ.
"What's your name?" Jiang Yunxi asked. He looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was so fair and clean. His skin was as bark-like as bark. A normal person would be tortured to death.
"No name." The man shook his head.
Jiang Yunxi's face was filled with black lines. He seemed to have forgotten a lot of things. "Rest well tonight. I'll have someone make you pig's trotters tomorrow."
The man nodded with sparkling eyes.
Zhan Beiyuan signaled Qi Yan to take him downstairs to rest and asked someone to keep an eye on him to prevent him from running around in the palace.
"Why did you save him?"
After seeing the people walk away, Zhan Beiyuan looked at Jiang Yunxi and asked.
"He's so pitiful. He's been cursed and he only has a month or so left to live." Jiang Yunxi didn't hide it from him anymore.
"It's really pitiful." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"I brought him back for another reason. Perhaps he can help us find the person who manipulated the forbidden technique tonight. Remember to have someone make him pig's trotters tomorrow. I'm going back to sleep."
Jiang Yunxi yawned as he spoke, then turned and went back to Fanghua Courtyard.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The next day.
Zhan Beiyuan got up early and went to where the man lived.
When the man saw it was him, he nervously hid in the corner, with timidity and vigilance in his clear eyes.
"I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you something. What did you mean last night when you said we were all about to die?" Zhan Beiyuan asked. Jiang Yunxi deliberately sent him away, so there must be something else.
"I didn't say anything." The man quickly denied it, covering his mouth with his hands, looking nervous.
He promised not to tell.
Zhan Beiyuan's face darkened. He really had a problem with his brain. When he said this, it was clear that he had said, "Qi Yan."
As he spoke.
Qi Yan walked in carrying a large plate of pig's trotters.
In an instant, the room was filled with tempting aroma.
The man swallowed hard, staring at the pig's trotters, motionless.
"As long as you tell me the truth, these pig's trotters are all yours. And I won't tell anyone else what you told me. Only the two of us know about it." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"Really?" The man looked a little confused.
"Of course." Zhan Beiyuan waved at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan went out quickly, not forgetting to close the door of the room.
"Go ahead." Zhan Beiyuan walked to the table and sat down.
"I, I'm dying, and she's dying too..." After saying that, the man quickly ran to the table, grabbed a pig's trotter and started chewing it.
"Who is she referring to?" Zhan Beiyuan asked. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was Jiang Yunxi.
"Pretty...sister." The man said while chewing on a pig's trotter.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi is dying?
She doesn't look sick.
"How do you know she's dying?"
"I sensed it, because I was dying and she was dying too." The man's mouth was full of oil, but his expression was serious.
"How did you sense it?" Zhan Beiyuan frowned.
The man looked confused, then shook his head. "I don't know. I just sensed it. Oh, she told me not to say anything. Don't tell her. I told you."
As he spoke, his face was full of nervousness.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
So Jiang Yunxi knew that he was about to die?
For a moment, many things connected in his mind.
No wonder she asked him to take care of the children more in the next five years.
She brought the children to see him with an ulterior motive, because she knew she was dying and was worried that no one would take care of the children after she was gone. He was the children's biological father and would do everything he could to be good to them.
If she didn't know that she was about to die, she probably would never bring the child to him in her life, and would never let him know about the existence of Momo and Mianmian!
Zhan Beiyuan's heart was filled with anger, and other emotions were spreading, making his mood very complicated for a while.
She came to find him, entered the palace to treat her father's illness, and recognized her relatives with the Duke of Ying. All she did was to find a good way out for her two children and give them someone to rely on.
As a mother, she is qualified.
Thinking of the Xie family’s dry well, she knew she was going to die, but she still cut herself and made herself bleed so much. What a stupid woman!
"Don't tell anyone what we just said, and I won't tell anyone else." Zhan Beiyuan stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, if you don't tell the pretty sister, I won't tell her either." The man nodded heavily.
If he told her, the beautiful sister would definitely prick him with a needle.
"Don't call her pretty sister."
"oh."
"I remind you again, don't tell her about our conversation, otherwise you won't have pig's trotters to eat anymore." Zhan Beiyuan warned. He didn't want Jiang Yunxi to know about their conversation.
"Okay, I won't tell you. I definitely won't tell you." The man nodded seriously.
Zhan Beiyuan left quickly.
…
When Jiang Yunxi woke up, the room was brightly lit. It was already 12 o'clock. She could only blame herself for sleeping too late last night.
She quickly got up, changed her clothes, and went straight to find the man from last night.
I could smell the fragrance before I even entered the other person's yard.
Jiang Yunxi walked in quickly and saw the man sitting at the table happily gnawing on pig's trotters with a lot of bones beside him.
Are you eating it now?
"You, why are you here?" The man looked a little uncomfortable. He had almost finished the whole plate of pig's trotters without realizing it.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile.
The man nodded.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at the quickly empty porcelain plate and asked, "Did the man from last night make this for you?"
The man nodded.
"Did he ask you anything?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile. Without thinking too much, Zhan Beiyuan must have talked to him.
"He asked me who I was and where I came from, but I didn't know anything..." The man looked confused and distressed.
"You really don't remember?" Jiang Yunxi stared into his eyes.
The man shook his head.
Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly, "Did he ask you anything else, like last night when you said we were all going to die..."
The man shook his head.
In comparison, he felt that the man was more terrifying than his beautiful sister.
"Really?" Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile.
The man shook his head with clear eyes.
Jiang Yunxi didn't ask any more questions. She actually thought that Zhan Beiyuan would care about her life or death. In his heart, she was still suspicious. Maybe he would soon find out that she was lying.
What she should be thinking about is how she will cope after he knows the truth.
"You can stay here for a while. You won't be short of food. You will have pig's trotters every day. Since you don't have a name, you will be called Wuming from now on." Jiang Yunxi gave him a name at random.
"Wuming, um, okay." Wuming nodded obediently.
Jiang Yunxi didn't stay any longer and left immediately.
When Butler Bai saw her, he hurried towards her and said, "Miss Jiang, the prince said that when you get up, he will ask you to go to the palace to see the emperor. I will prepare a carriage for you right away."
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi agreed readily.
She happened to go to see the emperor.
