"Is she one of your suitors too?"
Wang Yanzhou's prediction was correct. Tang Chen, this nosy woman, really couldn't ask any technical questions.
Tang Chen casually lifted Wang Yanzhou's sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then continued to sigh, "Why do so many beautiful women fall for someone as venomous as you? Are they stupid?"
"......" Although Wang Yanzhou didn't say anything, the veins on his forehead had already bulged.
Tang Chen saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, so he quickly fell on the bed and pulled the quilt over his head: "I'm already asleep, talking in your sleep, talking in your sleep!"
Wang Yanzhou didn't want to bother with someone who was still recovering from a serious illness, so he simply blew out the lights, closed the door, and left without disturbing her. Wang Yanzhou stood in the yard, looked up at the starry sky, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Send more people and keep a close eye on it."
"yes."
Wang Yanzhou was just about to go about his business when the wind rustled the corner of his clothes. He took off his coat with a serious expression and handed it to the guard outside Tang Chen's door: "When she feels better tomorrow, ask her to wash this coat and return it to me."
"……yes."
…
"Princess, Valley Master Wang is here."
Princess Qinghe paused slightly while brewing tea. She knew Wang Yanzhou would definitely come to see her while she was at the Princess's Residence. However, she hadn't expected him to come so soon. It seemed like something had happened to Tang Chen again.
"please."
When Wang Yanzhou entered the room, Princess Qinghe had already made tea, removed her hair ornaments, and sat in the first seat, waiting for him. "You are visiting so late at night. I wonder what the Valley Master wants?"
Every time Qinghe called him Valley Master, the teasing in her tone made him feel a little unhappy. He had already been angry when he came this time. How could he not be furious when she called him in such a sarcastic tone? "Did you tell Lin Chongrong that I was in Qinghe County?"
Qinghe smiled and said, "I'm not the only one who cares about your whereabouts." After saying that, he didn't forget to add, "By the way, how is Tang Chen?"
Wang Yanzhou slammed the black paper fan in his hand onto the table, then picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp like a cow drinking water: "It's fine as long as you're by my side."
Qinghe held his chin up and jokingly said, "These impulsive women, everyone wants that spot next to your pillow. I think Tang Chen is a good girl, she's a simple person, her intentions are pure, and her background is simple, so she's worth using."
Wang Yanzhou didn't agree or disagree, but said with a hint of warning: "You don't need to interfere in my affairs."
Qinghe picked up the teacup and sighed: "After all, I am also your sister-in-law. Your sworn brother's whereabouts are unknown, so naturally I have to take care of your affairs."
Wang Yanzhou was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he poured the warm tea in his hand on Qinghe's face: "...Wake up, he died in Mingjiang three years ago."
Qinghe didn't get angry either. He just calmly took out an old, yellowed handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the tea off his face. "I said, if he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. Otherwise, I won't believe a word you say."
Wang Yanzhou glared at her and picked up the folding fan on the table: "Believe it or not. I didn't come to you to argue with you about these established facts."
"...If you have something to say, just say it."
...I don't know where this tavern waiter named Chen Xin came from. After only a few days under his command, Tang Chen had already regained his former vigor and spirit. However, there were still some faint purple-black spots on his body that had not yet completely faded.
Tang Chen looked up at the sky, then at Wang Yanzhou, who was sitting under a tree enjoying the cool breeze. After hesitating for a long time, he stammered, "Boss, that little girl who came a few nights ago seemed to have a very interesting background."
Wang Yanzhou frowned slightly: "What did you call her? 'Little sister'?"
"...No, isn't that right?" Oh my god, why is Wang Yanzhou's tone so weird! By the way, she shouldn't have made a mistake in her gender this time! The breasts she accidentally touched that day were indeed correct!
Wang Yanzhou looked at Tang Chen's facial expression, which was gradually losing control, and explained helplessly: "...She is just petite. But judging from her age, it is completely fine for you to call her sister."
Tang Chen looked down at the flat plain on his chest, then glanced at the round sun in the sky, and smirked: "Oh, woman."
"Heh, woman. Do you know how to wash clothes? Didn't you see half of the sleeve fell out of the basin!" He remembered that he asked her to wash clothes, not to make them dirtier, right?
Tang Chen shrugged with a look of despair: "It has to be washed anyway, so it falls off."
Wang Yanzhou shook his head and said with disdain: "It is really a rotten tree that cannot be carved."
Tang Chen refused to be outdone and retorted, "My wall of dung is incorruptible."
Wang Yanzhou was stunned, "Who gave you the courage to talk back to me?"
Tang Chen said with a look of needing to be punished: "Liang Jingru, I've already borrowed it, if you dare, bite me."
Wang Yanzhou almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He kept holding it in until his face looked constipated. "... Very good, you can do it, you're amazing. You don't want to eat dinner, right?"
Tang Chen looked at Wang Yanzhou and snorted, then hurried back to his own small stool and began to wash clothes diligently: "Boss, I was wrong, I am trying to change, please forgive me!"
...Tang Chen stayed at Liuxiang Tavern for a month, and the number of times he saw Wang Yanzhou during that time could be counted on one hand. After he finished his work, Wang Yanzhou took Tang Chen on a walk around the surrounding area, despite her constant complaints and various cute and coquettish actions.
However, these leisurely days will soon be over.
The sixty-day bet, due to Wang Yanzhou's busy schedule, had unexpectedly stretched over a season. Summer was ending and autumn was approaching, the time of year when the green leaves were dyed golden and the weather was at its most suitable.
Early in the morning, Tang Chen had just gotten up when she was called to Wang Yanzhou's study. Normally, Wang Yanzhou wouldn't ask her to come to the study. This time, Tang Chen had tried very hard to recall the past on the way there. She had behaved well recently, not sneaking around or throwing things, so what on earth did Wang Yanzhou want her to do?
"What's wrong? Is there something important that called me here so early in the morning?"
Wang Yanzhou stood up, closed his eyes and lowered his head slightly, saying apologetically, "Maybe, I have to break the appointment."
When Wang Yanzhou said this about breaking the appointment, the smile on Tang Chen's face gradually disappeared: "Why?"
Wang Yanzhou said somewhat helplessly: "It's an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately."
This time, Tang Chen actually said nothing. He didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did he ask Wang Yanzhou why. He just turned around and walked away quickly after saying something that was almost as good as nothing.
