After saying that, Zhuang Rongjun turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she turned her head to look at the young man on the kang who was drunk and didn't even look at her. The hostility between her brows became even heavier.
Zhuang Rongjun knew that she was crazy, but she was even crazier tonight. What was wrong with her that made her come here?
"An Er, you stay here and don't let any bad men or women get close to Lin Liansheng these few days."
After giving orders to the secret guards, Zhuang Rongjun turned and left.
The small shabby house became quiet. Lin Liansheng didn't seem to care about Zhuang Rongjun's arrival. He finally finished the wine in the jar and fell asleep on the kang. No one helped him sober up and no one covered him with a quilt. The broken window creaked in the night wind and the cool wind rushed in. The candlelight swayed violently and soon went out with a "sizzle".
The room became dark. The young man on the kang shrank back and didn't move.
…
The next day at noon, Lin Liansheng slowly opened his eyes from his hangover. He had a headache and rubbed his temples with his fingertips, but his brows were still furrowed.
There were two abnormal blushes on her fair and soft face.
Lin Liansheng felt the slightly high temperature, and the frown between his brows deepened. His throat felt a little uncomfortable, and he coughed a few times.
A while ago, Lin Liansheng fell ill with a fever. He bought some medicine and stayed alone in his small, shabby house until he recovered yesterday. Unexpectedly, when he woke up today, his forehead was a little hot again.
It costs money again.
Lin Liansheng picked up the quilt beside him and wrapped himself in it, leaving only his listless little face exposed.
On the kang were several empty wine jars that had fallen over.
Lin Liansheng tried hard to recall what happened yesterday.
Yesterday he went to Zhaojia Village, and then...
Then I met a "buyer", drank with the "buyer" in the evening, and then...
A young woman's charming, beautiful and arrogant face appeared in my mind.
Lin Liansheng blinked his long eyelashes, reached out his hand, and touched an exquisite purse.
He looked back and forth while holding the purse, piecing together the woman's words in his ears, which were cold and arrogant with a hint of sarcasm.
Lin Liansheng seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't open it. He then put the purse in a safe place.
Looking up outside, the sun was already high in the sky.
Lin Liansheng got up to wash up. He felt a headache and felt a little dizzy. He staggered and almost fell.
After washing up, he pulled out a small wooden box from a shady corner of the house, opened it, and found some small silver and copper coins inside.
He counted carefully and took out five taels, and finally only some copper coins were left in the small wooden box.
He carefully placed the five taels of silver in his purse and then inside the lapel of his shirt. He patted it to make sure the money would not fall out.
After packing everything up, Lin Liansheng moved out of the small, dilapidated house.
He walked in a hidden manner, as if afraid of being seen by others. After walking for about quarter of an hour, he arrived at a place.
Wang's house.
This is the residence of Mr. Wang in Renhe County.
The main gate of Wang's house was open, but Lin Liansheng didn't go there. Instead, he came to the small side door of Wang's house as he was familiar with the route.
There was a young servant guarding the side door. When he saw Lin Liansheng, he sneered and said in a contemptuous tone, "You are here to see Butler Wang again!" He said in a firm tone.
Lin Liansheng said firmly, "Yes, please inform them." As he said that, he handed over a dozen copper coins.
The servant's expression brightened a bit. He put the copper coins into his sleeve and said casually, "Wait."
Not long after, there was a noise outside the door, and a man in his forties came out.
