“Brother Shen, it’s getting dark, you can stay here for one night.”
After that, he ordered people to put Brother Shen in the guest room in the side yard.
Brother Shen staggered and was helped away by his servants.
Hu Cheng soon stood up and muttered,
"Uncle Yang, I feel dizzy."
·
I heard that Hu Cheng was very drunk.
Zhizhi got up in the middle of the night to make him some hangover soup, even though she watched the maid do it.
She took people to the study.
A strong smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
Then he saw Hu Cheng lying on the table, motionless for a long time.
She pushed the hangover soup towards Hu Cheng, but he slapped it away and the soup spilled all over the floor.
The maid was distressed.
"I'll go make another bowl."
There's nothing else to do.
The maid left. Zhizhi felt uncomfortable smelling the alcohol, so she turned around, opened the window and took a breath.
Perhaps because she made too much noise, Hu Cheng stood up slowly and hugged her from behind for the first time.
"...Madam? Why are you here?"
Zhizhi comforts,
"You're drunk. I'll have someone bring you a bowl of hangover soup later."
Hu Cheng rested his chin on Zhizhi's shoulder, and his breath sprayed on her ear.
She tilted her head uncomfortably and said curiously,
"Have you figured it out?"
Hu Cheng hesitated for a moment, as if drunk, "What?"
"I told you last time that the floor in the study is too hard. If you're not used to sleeping on it, you can come to the main room."
Hu Cheng paused strangely for a few seconds, then fell silent.
"Madam, the hangover soup is ready..."
At this time, the maid came in, saw this scene, put down the bowl quickly and left.
Zhizhi frowned. The man's heavy body made her feel an indescribable weight.
"It's time to let me go."
The man took a deep breath, covered Zhizhi's mouth with his palm, lowered his head and grabbed her delicate earlobe, biting and rubbing it back and forth as if to vent his anger.
"I love sleeping in the study!"
Later, he bit Zhizhi's cheek fiercely.
"hiss--!"
The man's movements suddenly stopped, and then he pushed her out of the door.
Zhizhi was left staring at the closed door.
·
The next day.
The guest submitted his resignation to Hu Cheng.
After Hu Cheng woke up and had breakfast with Zhizhi, he suddenly said,
"I'm going out tomorrow."
Zhizhi was surprised.
"It may take half a month before he comes back."
She didn't understand.
"Why?"
Hu Cheng just said that there was an urgent matter at the store outside that required his attention, and he would be back as soon as he finished dealing with it.
He warned,
"The capital has been in turmoil lately, so it's best to avoid going out. Uncle Yang will take care of everything at home."
Zhizhi nodded.
Hu Cheng left in a hurry, took a few sets of clothes with him, and drove out in a carriage.
Zhizhi didn't take it to heart.
However, half a month later, the news was bad.
The servants accompanying Hu Cheng knelt on the ground and cried.
"...The master was in a trance and drove his carriage straight towards the cliff... The official road hadn't been repaired, so he couldn't stop it in time and fell off!"
Hu's house was covered with white.
So, just two months after getting married, Zhizhi became a widow who owned hundreds of acres of land, dozens of prosperous shops, and gold, silver and jewelry worth thousands of taels.
She looked at the countless land deeds and suddenly felt a headache.
Fortunately, Uncle Yang helped her to share her worries.
"Madam, the master's guests are outside the house paying their respects."
"He is a candidate."
