"Go to you...Okay!" Zhong Mingwei was startled at first, then he hurriedly leaned towards Meiya's body, and couldn't help but smile. "My legs and feet were not very flexible before, I remember when I first learned to walk, I leaned against you like this. It was very tight, and we were tied with a hemp rope. Hehe. It's still beautiful when I think about it now."
"What's so beautiful about this?" Mei Ya was puzzled. She placed her hands loosely on Zhong Mingwei's waist and pretended to help him down the stairs with great effort.
"It's very hard for other people to find a wife. They have to give gold, silver, jewels, and sweet words to coax her. I don't need that." Zhong Mingwei smiled even more proudly, and his big hand sneakily touched the girl's small hand, while smiling even more like a rat stealing oil. "Who made me handsome? I can find a wife based on this handsome face!"
“Snap!”
The next second, a slap landed firmly on the man's hand. Amid the man's wailing, Meiya said with a look of disgust: "If I had known at the time that this handsome face was actually thicker than a city wall, then no matter how handsome he was, I would have considered it."
"Hey, it's too late!" Zhong Mingwei laughed even more proudly. "Once you enter my house, you are mine. Even a hundred years later, you have to sleep in the same grave with me."
"Yes, yes, yes. He is your family member and will sleep in your family's grave. Please say less. There are many people downstairs." Mei Ya said in a low voice and helped Zhong Mingwei to the lobby.
"Sir, what happened to you?" The waiter was startled when he saw Mei Ya helping Zhong Mingwei down. He quickly put down the teapot in his hand and asked, "You were fine just now, weren't you? Did you fall? Or what?"
"It's okay, it's okay. He just walked too much today and his leg disease relapsed. He needs to go back and rest in bed for half a month and he'll be fine," Meiya explained to the waiter, and asked him, "Please, brother, call a car for us."
"Okay, I'll take care of it!" The waiter immediately ran to the door and called a carriage for Mei Ya and Zhong Mingwei.
Mei Ya gave the waiter a penny as a thank you, and then helped Zhong Mingwei out of Bian Yi Fang. When she was about to help Zhong Mingwei get on the carriage, she heard a voice not far away: "Is it... Prince An?"
Mei Ya and Zhong Mingwei were startled and looked in that direction together, and saw Duan Chenghong standing in front of the drug store opposite Bian Yi Fang with a few packets of Chinese medicine in his hands, looking at them excitedly.
Mei Ya's heart suddenly rose to her throat and she lowered her head in a hurry. She knew Duan Chenghong would not recognize her, but she still felt extremely guilty. Her heart was pounding and almost burst out of her body.
"You go up first," Zhong Mingwei whispered to Meiya after noticing her nervousness, "I'll go get rid of him."
"Okay." Mei Ya hurriedly got on the carriage, then sat quietly in it without daring to breathe, until she heard the voices of two people talking outside. Mei Ya then moved to the window and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain.
Duan Chenghong looks much older than before. Although he was demoted six levels and lived a difficult life, he could still maintain the dignity of a Beijing official. But now, in just two and a half years, Duan Chenghong has become the old man with gray hair and a hunched body. Even the beard, which he cared about most in the past, is now gray and sparse. At this moment, as he spoke, the sparse beard trembled from time to time, which made people feel sad no matter how they looked at it. In fact, Duan Chenghong is less than 50 years old, so how could he look so old?
I’m afraid it’s inseparable from Miss Duan’s death?
Mei Ya couldn't bear it any longer, so she let down the curtain and leaned against the wall of the carriage in silence, thinking about how it was a carriage like this that took her and Miss Duan away from the capital. At that time, she didn't know what kind of life was waiting for her. She was uneasy, but also mixed with deep joy, not only because she was finally going to say goodbye to this disgusting, cage-like city, but also because her daydream was coming true bit by bit.
