Chapter 19 Finding
Fault Rong Chen, who was irritated by Shu Wan and got off the carriage, felt extremely aggrieved.
If I go back to the City Lord's Mansion now, I will definitely be beaten with a broom by Zhao.
There was indeed nothing to do in the army today. Knowing that he had to accompany his wife back home today, his perceptive subordinates had already asked him yesterday about the unimportant things he should deal with today.
Besides, it wouldn’t be a good idea for Rong Chen to just go to the army like this.
Rong Chen was merciful and didn't want to torture that group of people.
So his good brother Yu Jianning was in trouble.
As the saying goes, when you are at home, trouble may come to you.
Today he was taking a day off and was sleeping soundly at home when he was woken up by the servant beside him, who said that Rong Chen was here.
"Why is he here?" Yu Jianning thought he had misheard. Why did he come to see him again for no reason? Wasn't he supposed to accompany his young wife to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law today? Why did he come to his place?
Yu Jianning is the leader of the Blackwater City Defense Army, and controls more than 60% of the Blackwater City's military strength. His family has been guarding Blackwater City for generations, and his power is evident! His father died in battle to defend Blackwater City, leaving his mother to raise him and his two younger sisters alone, so Rong Chen usually takes good care of his family.
He and Rong Chen grew up together, and it can be said that they grew up together with nothing. They have a deep friendship. Although he is Rong Chen's subordinate, he is also one of the few people who can be called Rong Chen's friend.
Yu Jianning didn't know how he became close friends with someone as difficult to get along with as Rong Chen.
Rong Chen has a weird temper, which is completely different from his personality.
"Go tell him that I'm not at home." Yu Jianning said and fell back on the bed. He didn't want to see Rong Chen. His sixth sense told him that Rong Chen's coming today must be for no good reason, and he was still sleepy.
After finally taking a day off, Rong Chen still wanted to see him. He usually saw him every day! "Who are you not going to see?"
Before the servant had time to accept the order, Rong Cheng's cold voice was heard at the door.
Yu Jianning sat up from the bed suddenly, almost waking up from his sleep.
"You came in like this?" This Rong Chen, doesn't he knock before entering someone's room?
"Get up and have a fight!" Rong Chen said concisely.
"Ah——" Yu Jianning wailed, why is it coming again?
He thought that his martial arts skills were very strong, but he could not last more than ten moves against Rong Chen.
Even so, Rong Chen would still look for him to spar with him every few days. It was said to be sparring, but in fact, Rong Chen was the one-sided one who abused him every time.
As long as Rong Chen is in a bad mood, he will be in trouble! Rong Chen ignored him and turned to leave.
"I'm so unlucky!" Yu Jianning looked reluctant, "Can you please not fight?" He shouted at Rong Chen's back.
But apparently, his protests were of no avail.
His face looked as if he had lost his parents, and he walked out of the room with a heavy heart as if he was visiting a grave.
The servants behind him observed a second of silence for him.
It's so pitiful, his general is so pitiful. Every time the city lord comes to his house, it is so scary and his general will be injured. So in order to avoid the fight between gods and the suffering of these mortals, he has to run away.
Oh no, he wasn't running away. He was going to find the housekeeper and ask him to call the court doctor to wait until his general was beaten up so that he could receive timely treatment!
He was already familiar with this kind of thing! As for Yu Jianning, he walked into the yard with his head down, looked at Rong Chen who was full of coldness and said, "Come on!" He would not let Rong Chen go until he got rid of his anger today.
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Chen moved, and he could only respond quickly.
Although he couldn't win, he still tried his best. Even if he couldn't change the result, he could get beaten less.
…
Rong Chen thought Yu Jianning's face was Shu Wan's and wanted to beat him up! So today, Yu Jianning was particularly miserable...
Yu Jianning just thought Rong Chen was crazy.
Yu Jianning finally had no strength to fight back, and he kept running, begging for mercy.
Rong Chen seemed to have finally vented his anger and stopped.
"Rong Chen, just wait!" Yu Jianning sat down on the ground, breathing heavily and cursing, "One day, I will beat you so hard that you can't even get up!" Every time he was beaten by Rong Chen, he would say such cruel words unwillingly.
"I'm waiting!" Rong Chen said lightly.
Next time, Yu Jianning won’t be able to beat him!
In fact, although Rong Chen seemed to beat him hard, he didn't really hurt him. At most, he would just be sore all over and it would heal after a few days.
After Rong Chen has finished beating, it's time to clean up the yard.
"You inhuman guy, Rong Chen, people like you deserve that you can't get married..." Yu Jianning continued to curse, but stopped halfway.
Since he couldn't win by fighting, he could only gain the upper hand verbally. Rong Chen would not waste words with him.
But he discovered sadly that he often cursed Rong Chen for not being able to marry, but now he is married! Woohoo, is he going to let me live?
Yu Jianning burst into tears.
I don't know how unlucky the girl from the Shu family was to marry a guy like Rong Chen! "Get up, let's fight again." It would have been fine if he didn't talk about this. When Yu Jianning mentioned this, Rong Chen thought of Shu Wan's annoying little face again, and the anger that had just been extinguished instantly rose up.
"Ah?" Yu Jianning stared at Rong Chen in despair, "Why?" What sin had he committed to become Rong Chen's brother.
If God gave him another chance, he would definitely not meet such a disgusting and inhuman guy!
"I showed mercy just now!" Rong Chen said without changing his expression.
Yu Jianning just wanted to die on the spot.
"Brother, I heard that there are guests at home?" At this time, two young girls ran in from outside the door, and the older one shouted as she came in.
These are Yu Jianning’s two younger sisters. The older one is fourteen years old and her name is Yu Anning, and the younger one is only eleven years old and her name is Yu Dingning.
It can be seen from the names of these three siblings that their father is loyal to Blackwater City.
However, Yu An Ning has always been interested in Rong Chen, and her dream is to marry Rong Chen. Relying on Rong Chen's relationship, she often gets close to Rong Chen, thinking that she will get the upper hand by being close to him.
But Rong Chen has never been interested in women. Over the years, he has never even looked at Yu An Ning directly. At most, he just nodded casually as a greeting.
No matter how Yu An Ning hinted or hinted, Rong Chen pretended not to understand or know!
Because of the Yu family's kindness, Rong Chen also privately told Yu Jianning many times, asking him to make it clear to Yu An Ning that Rong Chen had no intention of marrying her and would not have any in the future, and asked her not to waste her time and energy.
Yu Jianning also knew the good intentions of this good brother, who did not want Yu An Ning to get too deeply involved, but Yu An Ning simply could not hear a word he said and was still dreaming of becoming the city lord's wife.
From the day Rong Chen and Shu Wan got engaged, she wanted to eat Shu Wan alive.
She felt that Shu Wan was not comparable to her in any way. Why could Shu Wan marry Rong Chen while she couldn't get what she wanted?
She felt it was unfair.
She even threatened Rong Chen to marry her by using her father's death as a threat, saying that the Rong family owed them a great favor.
However, before this idea could be implemented, it was strangled in the cradle by Yu Jianning.
If his father knew that his daughter used his death to threaten Rong Chen, he would never rest in peace in his grave!
Yu Anning brought Yu Dingning here today only after hearing that Rong Chen had arrived.
She had not given up. She felt that even if Shu Wan married Rong Chen, she could still marry into the family. As long as she could gain Rong Chen's favor, she could endure a little and enter as a concubine.
As long as she enters the City Lord's Mansion, she will have plenty of ways to pull Shu Wan down from the position of City Lord's wife.
She really didn't take the stupid Shu Wan seriously. She had nothing good to offer except that her family was rich! So when she was on guard against other girls of marriageable age in the city marrying Rong Chen, Shu Wan, who had never caught her eye, got engaged to Rong Chen without saying a word.
Then, in just one month, they got married.
This caught her off guard, and she didn't even have time to find a reliable way to stop it, and Shu Wan got married.
So how could she not hate Shu Wan? She wanted to eat Shu Wan's flesh, drink Shu Wan's blood, and chew Shu Wan's bones into pieces!
But it doesn’t matter. Even if Shu Wan gets married, she will still kick her out of the City Lord’s Mansion!
The position of the city lord's wife can only be hers.
"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Yu An Ning pretended that she just realized that today's guest was Rong Chen, and spoke shyly.
She always called Rong Chen "Brother Chen" to show her closeness and how close she and Rong Chen were.
Although Rong Chen was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything in the end.
As a result, Yu An Ning had no idea how much attention she had received in front of the daughters of wealthy families in the city, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Rong Chen hummed indifferently as a response, but he didn't even raise his eyes.
Yu Anning imagined many plots in her mind, her face full of shyness, and she lowered her head and smiled foolishly.
"Greetings, City Lord!" Yu Dingning then timidly bowed to Rong Chen.
She felt that she was not as close to the city lord as her elder brother, nor as close to him as her sister. The city lord's aura was too strong, and standing in front of him always made people feel suffocated, so she did not dare to get close to him and could only salute him politely.
It was okay for the eldest brother, after all, he had learned martial arts and served in the army, so he was naturally not afraid of the city lord. But she really didn't understand why her sister dared to get close to the city lord. She was too brave. Her sister was too brave, so she didn't dare to do that! Moreover, her sister told her more than once that the city lord would be her brother-in-law in the future!
Oh! She didn't want to. She hoped that the city lord would not come to their house. Every time the city lord came, she didn't dare to raise her head. It was too depressing.
If the city lord became her brother-in-law, wouldn't she have to see him often in the future? As long as she thought about it, she felt it was too scary.
She obviously didn't want to come here today, but her sister insisted on dragging her here! Rong Chen hummed again. He didn't have much impression of this little girl in the family. He only knew that there was such a person, and he couldn't even remember what she looked like.
"Brother Chen, how come you have time to come here today? Aren't you supposed to accompany Miss Shu home?" She really couldn't call City Lord Shu Wan Madam, so she could only call her Miss Shu, gritting her teeth.
If you don’t know, you would think that Shu Wan has a huge grudge against her.
But obviously, Shu Wan didn't know her at all! Rong Chen's eyes turned cold in an instant.
