Just as I was thinking about this question, I suddenly heard Song Bailu's voice calling me from upstairs. It was obvious that only we could hear this voice, and now she was the only one who could answer my doubts. The girls were happily eating and chatting. I was full and bored, so I went upstairs to check on Song Bailu.

Her buttocks had been spanked, and now it was difficult for her to stand up, so she could only lie on the bed. When she saw me coming up, she didn't blame me, but looked happy under the candlelight, and said, "Brother Zhou Bo, you're here, I was afraid you wouldn't come up, I can't eat by myself, can you please feed me?"

Seeing that she was really in trouble, I approached her. I had already punished her, so I would not pursue the past for the time being. Besides, she just wanted to rely on external forces to fight for the power relationship between her and Yunwen, but she didn't want to betray me. From this starting point, it was acceptable, but her approach was unacceptable.

But it somewhat disgusted me, so I walked up to her, picked up the food that was offered to her with a little impatience, and started feeding her, one bite of vegetable and one bite of rice.

"Bai Lu, you remember what I said about what I would do if you made another mistake, right?" I said.

She paused, then swallowed her food and nodded.

"Although everyone says that they should be forgiving of you, you know that I have always been clear about right and wrong. The trust you had in me has disappeared. To be honest, I don't even dare to hand over other places to you because of your fickleness, do you understand? Trust is like a piece of paper. Once it is torn, it is difficult to put it back together. The same is true between you and me." I said.

"Then do you know why I want to do this?" she asked.

"Why? It's because you look down on the arrangements I made for you, so you can joke about everyone's trust, collude with the enemy secretly, and almost cause a disaster." I said.

"Zhou Bo, you really don't care about me at all. Yes, I did do something bad and I was punished, but what about you? If you were wrong, can anyone punish you? Think about it yourself, if your arrangement was reasonable, why should I do all this? You know that I miss you every day, thinking about you, and looking forward to your coming, but you can only come once a week, stay for no more than a day, and then leave again, until another time you can stay away for two weeks at will. Have you considered me? Do you know what I think?" She was a little emotional.

I shushed her, afraid that she would be too loud and disturb the eating of everyone downstairs, and afraid that she would spoil everyone's fun.

"I am also your wife. I understand you very well. You need to take care of so many girls, and I have made concessions. But what happened? What I got in return was your further demands. Why is it Zhang Yunwen instead of me who stays in Longcheng? Why can she be the queen and I can't? Why does she have to serve you every day and stay by your side, but I can only stay alone in an empty room?" She couldn't help but burst into tears as she spoke.

As she vented, I also frowned, put down the bowl and chopsticks and food in my hands, and said: "Where did these things come from? Don't you know it yourself? If you hadn't been so..."

Before I finished, she immediately retorted: "In the past? In the past, you never thought about me, nor the baby in my belly. You only thought about Zhang Yunwen! I just want to ask you, what should I do to make you love me, to treat me like you treat Zhang Yunwen, can you be fair? Why am I always so lowly in front of you? I just want to love you, is that wrong?"

"Do I need to bring up the past? If you keep on being unreasonable and saying things like I'm not good to you, then don't follow me. There are many islands here and there are other survivors. I can ask Su Yuexi to send you to other places to survive. It's not impossible." I said.

She sobbed and her tears wouldn't stop. I sighed too, but I didn't really want to comfort her. Some things won't heal if the blood is not drained and the wound is not healed.

"Okay... I admit my mistake. It's all my fault. I was blind! Go ahead and punish me however you want." she said.

"I just told you that I am still the same Zhou Bo. I promised to protect you, but at the same time you should keep your promise and not do anything to hurt Yunwen, me and everyone else. I didn't mention this to so many people just now, but now I must make it clear to you." I said.

"Brother Zhou Bo, I'm really just crazy about you, why don't you understand me..." She choked, her eyes red with tears.

"But that night, I heard you talking to the human form of the evil dragon. Not only did you intend to listen to him, you also planned to persuade Yunwen and Lingshang to choose a new master. Think about it yourself, do you really take me seriously? Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. The main reason I came here is to ask you about some things in the Black Mountain Cave." I said.

"So this is what's bothering you. If you had a child in your belly, and it was your own child, what choice would you make?" she asked seriously.

"I don't want to talk to you about this. I want to ask you about the Black Mountain Caves." I said.

She snorted coldly and said, "Why should I tell you? Zhou Bo, to be honest, I'm very disappointed today, so I decided not to tell you. You figure it out yourself. I'm tired. If you don't want to stay here, go down."

After saying that, she pushed the food away, hid under the quilt, and stopped talking, with her back to me.

I slapped my forehead. I came here originally to get some information, but now, I can't get anything out of it, and I might even make things worse. There are already four girls here, and they should gather tomorrow, especially Ling Shang, who might talk to me about this matter. More importantly, almost all the important information is with Bai Lu, and by doing this now, I am obviously closing my own information channels.

Oh, I really ended up making things worse. Why couldn’t I stop doing it?

I tried to go forward and shake Bai Lu, wanting to talk to her, but she responded coldly, covering herself tighter with the quilt, and said, "Go and ask Su Yuexi to find me another place, but please let me heal my wounds first, okay?"

Sometimes it is like this, even if I am somewhat right, but once the girl gets angry, this right becomes unreasonable. Now it seems that I am the one who made the mistake, although my attitude is indeed not very good and I was a bit impatient, and I should reflect on this.

There's no other way. Now that things have come to this, I can only put the matter of obtaining information on hold for now.

I went downstairs, and Yunwen and the others looked up. They must have heard it, and I was particularly embarrassed. I vaguely heard Lingshang sigh. Su Yuexi came forward and took my arm, just to give me face and not let me be the only one to suffer the strange looks.

"Brother Zhou Bo, do you want to send Miss Song to other islands to survive on her own?" Su Yuexi asked.

I scratched my neck and said, "It's just angry words, I don't have to take it seriously."

"Zhou Lang, let's wait until you calm down before talking about this matter, okay? Sister Bailu also has her own difficulties, you should be more understanding. Besides, she has also made a contribution this time." Ling Shang said, and her tone was obviously a little dissatisfied.

Yunwen also came forward, took my other arm and said to the girls, "Okay, Zhou Bo said it was just angry words, so let's not talk about it. After eating and cleaning up, we should rest or play. Don't let these things disturb our mood today."

After Yunwen came to the rescue, the girls stopped asking questions.

As everyone discussed this matter, I felt a little embarrassed. Sleeping with them tonight, firstly, there is not enough space, and secondly, there will be some awkwardness and distance. The main reason is that I have some psychological problems. Therefore, I suggested that I rest on the iron bunk bed in the corner of the first floor tonight, and the girls should sleep upstairs.

With this arrangement, some subtle chemistry developed between everyone. Although they all nodded, their expressions seemed unnatural.

Now the scarecrows can be tidied up and no one is needed to work, so we just need to fetch water and wash up, then we can go to rest. I insisted on sleeping on the first floor, so they went upstairs in disappointment.

When I went upstairs, I also heard Su Yuexi say to Lingshang with a hint of accusation: "No matter whether Brother Zhou Bo is right or wrong, you just said it too bluntly. He will obviously feel uncomfortable."

"I'm sorry, Miss Su, but Sister Bailu also has her own difficulties. I just... need to remind her." Hu Lingshang said.

"Everyone stop talking, Zhou Bo can hear it." Yunwen also said.
