As a woman herself, how could Zhao Min not see what Li Yao was thinking? Her eyes were filled with the feeling that she was willing but unable to do anything. After all, some things require experience and a foundation.
Most of the women around Zhang Wuji are well-educated, so they can last longer. But Li Yao is a completely weak woman, and her capacity is only comparable to that of Xiao Wu or Su Tanmei. How can such a woman be compared with women like Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, or Zhao Linger?
However, no one knew what Zhao Min was thinking. Not only did she not give Li Yao any help, but she also laughed at her: "You girl, you are really useless. I was seriously injured and on the verge of death that year, but this enemy still forcibly took me away and didn't care about my life or death. How much have you endured now, and you actually look at me for help like this."
"Sister Yao'er, you have to know that your current identity is not just my maid. You have become Zhang Wuji's woman. There are some things that you have to experience sooner or later, and you have to adapt to them sooner or later. So, just hold on. Besides, you can be regarded as the maid that I, Zhao Min, brought into the house. After all, you and I are both women. There will always be inconveniences. If that time comes in the future, it will be you, the younger sister, who will have to take the lead. Now is the time to train you. If you can't stand it today, I will sell you to a brothel tomorrow."
…
Zhao Min's words were heartbreaking, so Li Yao had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere. She could only hope that time would pass faster. What Zhao Min called adaptation, after all, required time to slowly adjust. It was impossible to be in that saturated state right from the start.
There were already traces of tears in Li Yao's eyes. Only when he saw the tears in Li Yao's eyes did Zhang Wuji feel a little bit sorry for her. Even though he had a big face, he was still flustered.
At a loss, he could only look at Zhao Min, and Zhao Min said with a resentful look: "You enemy, why are you looking at me? I cried even more miserably than this girl back then. Do you want me to help you recall what happened back then?"
"In that place where there is no sunlight, I almost passed out, but you still refused to let me go, Zhang Wuji. Even though I have fallen in love with you a long time ago, it does not mean that I have forgiven you for some things, just like the slap I gave you just now. Don't think that some things are over just because you think they are over. They are only over if I think they are over."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji felt guilty towards Zhao Min again: "Min'er, I..."
Zhao Min quickly stretched out her slender hand and covered Zhang Wuji's mouth: "You enemy, why are you talking about these things now? Don't you see what time it is? I have heard those words of apology to me countless times. You should just concentrate on doing your thing now."
"But you are my Zhao Min's man. Don't be so hesitant when doing things, or I will look down on you."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji was speechless: "Min'er, I won't talk about the past, but, are you really not going to help your maid today?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "How can I help? At most, she can rest for a day or two. She won't die. Don't worry. I am also a woman. I know my maid's standards better than you do."
…
After hearing this, Li Yao couldn't help feeling a little sad. She knew that her status was a little humble, but she was trying to climb up the social ladder in her heart and regarded Zhao Min as her own sister. But today, Zhao Min, a Mongolian woman, actually watched her bear it alone, which made Li Yao feel a little resentful.
Zhao Min lied. She clearly said she could help herself.
…
The next morning, when Zhang Wuji opened his eyes, he found that Li Yao in his arms was still sleeping soundly. There was nothing he could do, she was really exhausted.
However, at this moment, Zhang Wuji took a necklace from her chest and played with it.
After a moment, he said to Zhao Min on the other side: "Min'er, this thing should have been yours."
After Zhao Min glanced at the chain, she said with a smile: "Yes, it's mine. When I was fighting with you that year, I felt that I could not hold on any longer. Thinking of this girl who has been with me for so many years, I gave her the necklace that I have carried with me for many years. Although this thing is not big, it is very valuable, very valuable."
"Am I treating my own maid well?"
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji felt a little ashamed: "Min'er, you have given birth to three children for me over the years, but I seem to have never given you anything."
"Do you have any complaints against me in your heart?"
After hearing this, Zhao Min smiled slightly: "You, my dear, underestimate your own wife too much. Am I, Zhao Min, the kind of woman who wants rare things? I, Zhao Min, have never lacked those things."
"Even though my Yuan Dynasty is gone, I still have a lot of those messy things. Most of those things are still in the hands of my master, and what you gave me are exactly what I want most. You gave me respect and trust. These two things are the key to my dignity to live."
"In my life, Zhao Min, I only want these two things from you. As for the others, you are the emperor. Even if I am not the queen, I am at least a noble concubine. You have never treated me badly in terms of food, drink and daily expenses. I am content."
…
After spending a while together, Zhao Min personally helped Zhang Wuji change his clothes. To be honest, she seldom did these things, and she seemed a little clumsy, but when she did it, she was extremely serious.
"My dear enemy, I won't be with you during the day these few days. If there is anything, you can handle it yourself. Our navy is about to go to war, so I need to conserve my energy these days."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji hugged Zhao Min into his arms again and said, "Min'er, the sea is different from the land. You may find it fun when you first get on the boat, but you will get bored after a long time. I'm afraid you will inevitably feel tired by then. You must have a good rest these days, and make sure to eat well and sleep well."
Zhao Min felt sweet in her heart: "I see, the same to you. Just let Gong Yu handle the messy things. Everyone has their own expertise. Let her do what she is good at."
