Chapter 274
Wild Dog X Fu An
06
Ye Gou had never seriously thought about Fu'an's thoughts. Before the marriage, he heard that Fu'an was the eldest princess's child, and was full of hostility and wariness towards his fiancé.
But this is the emperor's order. If he disobeys it, it will affect everyone he cares about. He has no choice but to get married.
On the wedding night, he thought that if the other party behaved well, he would treat her as if she were air, but if she dared to cause trouble, don't blame him for being rude.
After getting married, he realized that Fu'an was not the eldest princess's biological child, and he was also a poor man. He developed pity for Fu'an. Although he always felt that he was raising a cat, he was actually making up for the hurt self in his childhood. He wanted to give him the best of everything.
But he didn't pay attention to this at all. When he heard Fu'an complaining painfully that no one treated him as a human being, he felt a sense of empathy.
He hugged the other person in his arms, holding him tightly, but he was still afraid. When he came back from outside, he was afraid that Fu'an was dead. When he saw Fu'an's empty eyes, he was also afraid that Fu'an would choose to end his life with that white silk next time.
In the following days, Ye Gou took a few days off to stay at home with him. Fu'an felt very tired every day. He no longer got out of bed and never went to his small studio. He lay in bed as if he had lost his soul.
The wild dog asked a doctor to come over, but he took various medicines but to no avail. The doctor said that it was a heart disease and that it would be useless to just take medicine to treat it.
The wild dog was also annoyed by his attitude towards him, but all he got in return was Fu'an's avoidance.
After staying at home for a while, Ye Gou had to go back to work. During the day, he asked the maid to accompany Fu'an. He came back immediately after work in the evening and never stayed outside at night. In the past, he would occasionally go drinking with Shao Hui, or get together with Yuanbao and others, but now he has turned down all these activities.
He also found out that on the day Fu'an had the accident, two cleaning servants were gossiping at home and saying bad things about Fu'an. He directly drove the two servants out and asked the housekeeper to watch the mouths of the family members and tell them not to say things that shouldn't be said. If such a thing happened again, it would not be as simple as just driving them out.
The housekeeper took this matter very seriously and re-screened the servants in the house, replacing those with ill intentions.
Yuanbao saw that he never went out except for work, "Have you been infected by your husband? Don't like to go out anymore? Are you in love at home every day? If you two are in love at home, don't forget to make jewelry, otherwise the store will not have new products."
Ye Gou told Yuan Bao that Fu An’s health condition had not been good recently, so the jewelry matter would have to wait for a while.
When Yuanbao heard him say Fu'an was sick, he asked him what was wrong and gave him some medicinal herbs and supplements.
Fu'an's condition did not improve. Ye Gou was frowning every day, not knowing how to solve the problem. All he thought about every day was Fu'an. He wanted him to return to his original state, but he also hoped that he would become better than before. He wanted the other person to be happy every day.
Seeing that he was absent-minded and knowing that he had consulted imperial physicians several times, Cheng Zhao gave him a few psychology books. Cheng Zhao had some knowledge in this area, but he was not a professional, so he bought some books for Ye Gou and asked him to study on his own and refer to the methods in the books.
But recently a group of rebels appeared outside, and Ye Gou was sent to other places to suppress them, so he can't stay at home with Fu'an for the time being.
On one hand, there are national affairs, and on the other hand, there is Fu'an, and he can't let go of either.
He must ensure the security of the country before he can protect his own family.
He prepared everything and arranged for maids to take turns to look after Fu'an every day. Fu'an must not be left alone. He would come as soon as possible, and Fu'an must not make any mistakes before he came back.
Recently, everyone in the general's mansion has been focusing on Fu'an. Even if he doesn't confess, everyone will always pay attention to Fu'an's movements, for fear that he will do something bad again.
The morning after the wild dog left, the cook came to bring breakfast to Fu'an. She looked at Fu'an who was getting weaker and weaker on the bed, and felt more and more upset. "I have rented a small yard in the suburbs during this period. Do you want to move in with me?"
The cook had always treated him as her own child. Seeing him like this was more heartbreaking than anyone else. As she spoke, her voice gradually choked up. "I thought, if you don't leave here, you'll be gone. Let's go to my place, and I'll continue to take care of you, and you don't have to go out. You can stay home if you want and do whatever you want. It's always freer than being watched over here every day."
When Fu'an heard her say this, his hands holding the bowl kept shaking. Although he had been like a walking corpse these days, he had thought a lot. Sometimes he regretted that maybe he shouldn't have said those words or done those unnecessary things. Wouldn't it be nice to live like before? But he was unwilling to live like a nobody all his life.
When the wild dog is happy, it treats him like a kitten or a puppy, but when it is unhappy or dislikes him, it drives him out at will?
Although Wild Dog had been telling him that he would not be driven away during this period, he had also heard the princess say such things to many of her male favorites, and they would eventually forget about it when they got tired of it.
He asked the cook to help him up. He walked to the mirror and looked at himself. His face was pale, his cheeks were sunken, and even his hair was much drier than before.
In this state, I have lost even my only advantage, which is my beauty. Rather than waiting to die here and be carried out, or becoming uglier and uglier and being driven out by wild dogs, I will take the initiative to leave.
The cook saw him staring at the mirror in a daze, afraid that he could not accept the changes now, and said nervously beside him: "You are just sick, you should eat more and take care of your body and you will be fine. If you don't want to leave, then stay. Although he is in a high position and has great power now, he can't drive you away at will. If he drives you away or treats you badly, I will go to the emperor to file a complaint, no matter if he is the emperor's uncle or not. Now the emperor says that everyone should be equal, even if he is a royal relative, he can't bully us."
Fuan waved his hand and said, "Please bring me some paper and pen."
"What do you want to write?" The cook hurried to get him the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"You said that people can get divorced now, so what does the divorce papers look like?" Fuan picked up a pen and asked the cook.
The cook was very happy to see that he had figured it out. "It seems that two people are needed to sign. I don't know the rest. I'll ask someone to ask for you."
"No need. I'll write it first. If it's not right, when he comes back and sees it, he will naturally rewrite a new one and ask me to sign it." Fuan wrote the words "divorce papers" on the paper, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued to write the following content.
After he finished writing, the cook helped him pack his luggage. Fearing that people in the mansion would stop them, the two of them waited until dark before leaving secretly.
The cook lied that he was with Fu'an at night, and no one else was suspicious. It was not until the next morning that the maids discovered something was wrong and hurried to find the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked at the divorce papers and felt like the sky was falling. He wondered if the general would chop him to pieces when he came back.
But now he had no way to find the general, so he could only go to Yuanbao for help first.
At this moment, Fuan had already taken a carriage and followed the cook to the small courtyard they rented on the outskirts of the city.
Originally, the cook said she wanted to buy a small courtyard, but the courtyard she could buy with her money was smaller and in worse condition. She was afraid that Fuan would not be able to get used to living there, so she decided to rent a small courtyard first and live there for a while.
Fuan also knew her difficulties. He said that he brought a lot of dowry when he got married, and he could use that dowry to buy a big yard.
But he didn't know whether he could survive outside, so he lived in the small courtyard for a while. He thought that if he couldn't survive, he would leave all the dowry to the cook.
He had a lot of dowry, but he only took a part of it with him. He was afraid that the other part would be lost, so he went to get the dowry after Wild Dog came back and signed the divorce agreement. He believed that Wild Dog would not covet his things and might even give him some compensation and buy him a big house to live in.
Fuan sat in the car, thinking about his new life. The only difference was that the house would be smaller, and the food and clothes would be downgraded, but the rest should be the same.
Thinking of this, the scene of him lying on the same bed with the wild dog appeared in his mind.
Although they did nothing, he felt very safe with the wild dog lying next to him. He was not afraid of bad guys suddenly breaking in, nor was he afraid of ghosts or the like.
He will be living alone from now on, and he doesn’t know if he will be scared. He is already a little scared before it even gets dark.
But the feeling of fear was much better than before. In the past few days, he had no emotions at all, like an empty shell.
The bumpy ride outside brought him back to his senses. He pulled the curtain open a little and saw the roadside outside.
When I first came out, there was a cement road outside, but now the roadside is muddy and not so easy to walk on, and the houses on the roadside seem like they are in a village.
The people here are not dressed that well, not as well as their maids and servants, and their houses are shabby.
But when the car left the town again, the houses had become a little more orderly, the road surface was cleaner, it was no longer a muddy road, but was paved with bricks, and the houses were also brick houses. He could see a group of children running and playing on the side of the road, and they looked quite happy.
The car stopped in front of a small yard. Although the yard was small, it had two rooms, a kitchen, a chicken coop in the yard, and a small vegetable garden behind the house.
When Fu'an was a child, he lived in a princess's mansion, and later in a general's mansion. He had never seen such a shabby little courtyard. He stood in the yard and looked at it, wondering whether his choice was right.
As he was thinking, he heard some noise behind him. He turned around and saw three children lying on the door crack, looking at him. Normally, he would feel uneasy when he saw people, but when he saw the innocent eyes of these children, he was not so scared anymore.
Several children looked at him curiously. A brave child came in and talked to him, asking him if he had just moved there and where he had moved from.
He seldom chats with others on weekdays and speaks in a very low voice, but after chatting for a while, he became familiar with those children.
He found that chatting with children was much more relaxing and comfortable than chatting with adults. Those children came to play with him every day and took him to play with them.
The cook was relieved to see that he was in a much better mood these days.
The cook bought a lot of things for the house, including some chickens and ducklings.
When Fu'an had nothing to do, he would squat in the yard and watch the chickens and ducks eat. Several children would squat beside him and watch with him. They also asked Fu'an to tell them stories.
Fu'an couldn't speak, so several children told him gossip they had heard from their parents, legends from the elders, and stories from the village storyteller.
The children usually don't get respect and attention from adults, but they are very happy to receive equal treatment from Fu'an, an adult. They even feel that they are more knowledgeable than Fu'an and are more willing to play with him.
When Yuanbao came to find Fu'an, he saw him laughing and talking with some other kids. Yuanbao had never seen Fu'an so happy before. Before, he thought Fu'an wanted to divorce just because he was angry. But when he saw this scene, he realized that Fu'an was serious.
But he felt that Fu'an was the best match for Ye Gou, so he still wanted to bring the two of them together and make them reconcile.
When Fu'an saw Yuanbao coming, he became very nervous, fearing that he was coming to capture him.
Although he had been thinking about the wild dog during the time he moved here, and always felt uncomfortable when eating and sleeping, he also thought that the wild dog would help him put on clothes every morning, pick up food for him, arrange someone to cook for him whatever he liked every day, and find all kinds of precious gems for him. But when he thought that the wild dog didn't like him, he became more determined to leave.
He didn't want to go back. Procrastination would only make him feel worse. It would be better to be direct and break up cleanly.
"I came here this time to ask you how the jewelry is going?" Yuanbao did not mention the matter of the stray dog. Matters of the heart are between two people, and it is useless for outsiders to advise. All he can do is to create opportunities for these two people and prevent them from breaking up.
Fuan didn't bring any tools or materials with him this time to make jewelry.
Yuanbao came from the General's Mansion, so he knew that he didn't bring those things. He and Fu'an went into the house and saw that the children in the yard had left. Then he said, "Even if you divorce my brother, we still have to open our store. Many people are waiting for your jewelry. If you delay like this, they will be very sad."
Fuan was most afraid of disappointing others, so he quickly said, "I, I'll do it right away, but I have to go get something first..."
"It's not safe here. What if you bring those precious gems here and attract thieves?" Yuan Bao saw his frightened expression and said quickly, "You can work in the store. I'll set aside a room for you. I'll pick you up and drop you off every day. No one will bother you. What do you think?"
Fu'an didn't want to go. He just wanted to stay at home. He had finally gotten familiar with this small courtyard and didn't want to go to a new environment.
But he didn't dare to refuse others, so he had to nod and agree.
"It's settled then. You go there tomorrow." Yuanbao got a satisfactory answer and left immediately, for fear that he would regret it later.
