When the past was mentioned, Bai Qiuchen's thoughts were indeed drawn back.
It was so hard back then. In order to save steamed buns for himself to eat wild vegetables every day, Rou'er took care of him without taking off her clothes. He felt guilty for having the idea of consummating his marriage with Zhao Qingxue.
Liu Yarou tentatively leaned against his shoulder, and was not pushed away. She smiled slightly.
Bai Qiuchen recalled what happened back then. "I went back to look for you, but you were gone. Your uncle also said he didn't know where you had gone."
"He's lying. He was the one who sold me out." Liu Yarou's eyes were red. "When Brother Chen had a persistent high fever, I was afraid I couldn't save you, so I borrowed money from my uncle to buy medicine, promising to pay him back later. I didn't expect him to wait even two months and was so impatient that he sold me into the brothel to pay off the debt."
Bai Qiuchen's heart tightened, "Then do you have..."
"No." Liu Yarou said, "Rou'er was worried about Brother Chen and escaped halfway."
Bai Qiuchen felt even more guilty, and he took the initiative to put his arm around her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, how have you been doing these years?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yarou started crying as soon as he asked her, and she looked so sad that her eyes were filled with tears. Bai Qiuchen was in a hurry to wipe her tears.
"What else can I do? Rou'er doesn't believe that Brother Chen won't come back, but she doesn't dare go back for fear of being discovered by her uncle and sold again. So she found a small town to live in. She met a kind lady who took her in. While doing embroidery, she kept asking about Brother Chen's whereabouts. A month ago, when she was delivering embroidery at the Embroidery Pavilion, she heard Brother Chen's name and thought she would try her luck. To her surprise, it was really Brother Chen."
"Brother Chen, Rou'er misses you so much."
Bai Qiuchen patted her back and said, "Actually, I've been waiting for you all these years."
Liu Yarou wiped her tears hastily and looked at him dazedly: "Then who is your wife now?"
Bai Qiuchen looked up in the direction of Xueyuan and sighed, "It's just a name without substance."
"Since it's just a name without substance, why don't you let her go, Brother Bai?"
"No." Bai Qiuchen refused without a second thought: "She was blinded by the poison because of me. I can't just leave her alone."
A cold look flashed in Liu Yarou's eyes. No one was willing to share their husband with another woman, even in name only. She wanted to see who the lady in the mansion was.
But she said, "Rou'er doesn't care about these things. As long as I can be with Brother Chen, I am willing to be his concubine."
Bai Qiuchen was touched: "I won't let you be my concubine. I will compensate you in the future."
Liu Yarou smiled contentedly and took the initiative to serve food to Bai Qiuchen.
After dinner, Liu Yarou pestered Bai Qiuchen to stay in her room. However, no matter how she teased him, Bai Qiuchen did not move, and her hand was finally pushed away.
"Go to sleep."
Liu Yarou refused and kept rubbing against his arms: "Brother Chen, we have already done that. It was Rouer who agreed. Rouer is not young anymore. I want to have a child with Brother Chen."
Bai Qiuchen was shocked. He thought of Zhao Qingxue. Would she also want a child?
Liu Yarou undressed and placed Bai Qiuchen's hand, who was still in a daze, on her chest with a sweet smile. She said seductively, "Brother Chen, touch me."
Bai Qiuchen seemed to be scalded, and quickly got out of bed and turned around.
"Rou'er, the first time was an accident. After we get married, I promise you that I will give you a child."
Liu Yarou smiled obediently: "I'll listen to Brother Chen." It's just one or two days, she can wait.
Bai Qiuchen finally stayed in the front yard.
The next morning, Zhao Qingxue heard Biluo report that Liu Yarou had arrived.
She didn't want to see him, but there wasn't even a gatekeeper in Xueyuan.
Liu Yarou ignored Biluo's obstruction and rushed in on her own.
The Snow Courtyard was deserted, its scenery not as exquisite as the Willow Courtyard, nor were there any precious flowers or plants. She was originally very proud of it until she saw Zhao Qingxue's face.
That night, she used the second condition to get the man to move Bai Qiuchen to her room without anyone noticing. Because of some other thoughts, when the man came in, she covered Zhao Qingxue tightly from head to toe.
Only she knew how superior Zhao Qingxue's appearance was. She even had a faint fragrance on her body. Her whole body was delicate and flawless. Even the garden was clean without a single extra weed.
The difference between the two was so great that she couldn't even feel jealous.
This kind of woman is a natural beauty, destined to be pampered by men, even to be a favorite concubine in the palace. I thought I would never see her again, but I didn't expect that she was Bai Qiuchen's wife Zhao Qingxue.
Liu Yarou ran out of Xueyuan as if she had seen a ghost, leaving Zhao Qingxue and Biluo completely confused.
"What does she mean?"
Biluo was also bewildered, but she knew how to speak. She said, "Maybe he feels ashamed of himself because the young lady is so beautiful."
In a sense, Biluo's truth was revealed.
Liu Yarou ran a long way in one breath. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Brother Chen already had that kind of relationship with Zhao Qingxue. He was a Chinese medicine practitioner and didn't remember it, but Zhao Qingxue might not. If she accidentally let it slip, Brother Chen would definitely be suspicious.
For the sake of future happiness, Zhao Qingxue must not stay!
Liu Yarou returned to Liuyuan, dismissed the maid, wrote a letter, took off the special whistle around her neck and blew it.
The whistle turned to dust, and a bluebird flew in through the window
She put the letter into the thin bamboo tube on the bluebird's foot and let it fly away.
At night, a dark shadow avoided the guards and arrived at the Snow Courtyard quietly.
