Chapter 71

It's been a long time since I mentioned this.

There were many things this woman didn't know during this period.

If we really want to talk about the story of Cen Yin and Wang Yu, we have to start from the day when Wang Yu was invited by Doctor Li.

That day, Wang Yu was invited to Doctor Li's house. He didn't want to go, but he couldn't refuse the invitation, so he had to go.

After he got there, it was nothing more than some socializing. Doctor Li seemed to want to get close to him and he talked nonstop. During the conversation, he even asked a dancer to come up and dance for him. Wang Yu didn't have much interest in watching and seeing that the dancer was wearing very little, he almost bowed his head to the ground.

Doctor Li even teased him, saying, "Brother Xian, what are you doing with your head down? Is it because I, the dancer, am not pretty?"

Cen Yin was extremely beautiful, with clear and cool eyes and brows, as bright as the cold moon, but also with a hint of coquettishness, and she didn't look so intimidating to approach.

Wang Yufang glanced at her but couldn't see her face clearly. He could only see that she was wearing very little, and her snow-white skin looked even more translucent under the light of the candles in the room.

It was winter, but she was wearing so little.

After just that one glance, Wang Yu felt embarrassed to look again.

Hearing Doctor Li's joke, he didn't say anything, but just lowered his head even more.

Afterwards, he was persuaded to drink two glasses of wine, and then he went to the bathroom to relieve himself. When he was about to come out, he ran into the dancer who was waiting for him outside.

She was still wearing a thin dress. Wang Yu was a little confused. He pretended not to see her and turned to leave.

But later, Cen Yin spoke and called him back.

"Sir..."

Her voice is also very nice. Just saying these two words is quite melodious and pleasant.

Wang Yu drank some wine and felt a little dizzy, but he was still conscious. His eyes were elsewhere, looking at the sky and the moon, but not at the beauty in front of him.

He asked her, "What's the matter?"

It was not very polite for her to appear in the men's bathroom, but Wang Yu did not think it was a coincidence.

But the next moment, Cen Yin knelt in front of him, tears streaming down her face. She said, "Master, please save me..."

Wang Yu was a little frightened, not knowing how things had turned out like this. He wanted to help her up, but if he touched her he would be touching her exposed skin, which he felt was offensive, so he didn't dare to touch her.

He even stuttered as he spoke, "What are you doing? You... don't be like that. Stand up and talk."

Cen Yin kept shedding tears, she cried like a pear blossom in the rain, she said, "Master, please save me, that Lord Li is a lunatic, if I follow him, he will kill me... I will really die..."

At that time, Doctor Li was not yet a doctor and had no official position in the family. Young people like to play a lot and once they start playing, they will do anything and would not care about her life or death. If she stayed in the Li family, she would really lose her life.

She has already delayed Doctor Li for three days. If she can't leave here tonight, she doesn't know when she will be killed.

Wang Yuren was kind, but he was not stupid in these matters. He knew what the dancer in front of him meant when she said she was dead. She was dead in every sense of the word. Her body, soul, everything was dead.

However, Wang Yu was visiting someone's home and was too embarrassed to ask to interfere in other people's family affairs. While he was hesitating, Cen Yin suddenly stood up and tried to hit the pillar beside him.

Wang Yu was frightened, and when he came to his senses, he immediately grabbed Cen Yin who was trying to commit suicide.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Yu's voice was rarely cold.

He didn't understand. Why couldn't they just talk it out calmly? Why did they have to bang their heads against the pillar?

He is optimistic about everything in this world. As long as he doesn't die, nothing is a big deal.

Cen Yin cried excitedly, but fearing being discovered, she could only sob softly, suppressing her voice and saying, "If I don't die now, I will be abused by him in the future, and I will die in his bed, which will be the same fate! It's better to just crash to death now..."

Wang Yu was silent. He looked down at her crying and trembling all over. He felt a little bit reluctant. He didn't know whether Li Langzhong would kill her in the end. He just thought that if he didn't take her out, she might really die here.

He exhaled, and the alcohol on his body disappeared completely. He grabbed Cen Yin's arm to calm her down, and then said, "Don't say such stupid things. I'll take you out."

Later, Wang Yu went to ask Doctor Li for Cen Yin.

Even though Doctor Li was reluctant, he finally gave the woman to him for the sake of Wang Yu and the Wang family.

Later, Wang Yu took Cen Yin away from the Li family. He gave her a sum of money and asked her to leave the capital, a place of trouble. From then on, she was a free person and could go wherever she wanted.

But Cen Yin refused to leave. She kept following Wang Yu and wanted to go home with Wang Yu.

There was no way Wang Yu dared to take her back. If his father found out, it would be a huge uproar.

Of course he didn't dare.

But Cen Yin always followed him, wherever he went, she followed.

Wang Yu made up his mind not to care about her.

But Cen Yin couldn't get rid of him, she kept following him.

But when Wang Yu turned around to look at her, she looked like a frightened rabbit, looking at him with guilty yet innocent eyes after being exposed.

Finally, Wang Yu compromised. First, it was not safe for Cen Yin to always follow him. If she returned to the vicinity of Wang's home, she would be discovered by his father sooner or later. Second, it was not good for her, a woman, to follow him alone.

It was a windy and snowy night. The handsome young man walked towards the girl on the snow.

He was a little annoyed. The usually good-tempered boy was also irritated by her clinging behavior. He said, "Can you please stop following me? If my dad finds out, you will be beaten to death."

Seeing that he was angry, Cen Yin just blinked at him without saying anything. However, she felt a little aggrieved by what he said and her eyes turned red.

Maybe she didn't know what to say.

If she didn't follow him, where would she go? Where should she go?

She doesn't know.

Wang Yu saw her like this and felt that his words were a bit harsh, but he was really annoyed. Why was she like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off? Didn't he agree to rescue her at the beginning?

He doesn't dare to mess around with other girls outside, his father doesn't like him doing that.

He looked at Cen Yin and said, "Don't you have any family? Can't you go find them?"

After saying this, Wang Yu almost immediately realized that he had spoken without thinking.

Where did she have family? If she had family, why would she be in a brothel?

Wang Yu spoke too quickly, and when he wanted to take back his words, Cen Yin's tears had already fallen, hitting the snow and melting it immediately.

Cen Yin looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes. She said, "I have no home..."

Wang Yu was upset that he was not good at speaking and said the wrong thing that hurt people. He saw that she was crying so hard and didn't know what to do. When she cried, he got anxious and didn't know how to comfort her. He could only keep apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said that..."

Not everyone has a father and a mother, just like him, he lost his mother when he was born.

If Cen Yin had parents, and if they treated her well, she wouldn't have been living in a brothel.

But Cen Yin couldn't stop crying and she kept crying.

Wang Yu could only agree to her request. He said, "Please stop crying, okay? I'll take you away..."

Before he could finish his words, Cen Yin looked up at him, her tearful eyes sparkling with light.

She asked him, "Really, sir?"

Wang Yu thought about it, and then nodded solemnly.

He wanted to say something else, but Cen Yin threw herself into his arms. He was willing to take her away, but she cried even harder. It seemed that her tears could soak through his clothes and penetrate into the skin of his heart.

Wang Yu felt his heart beating very fast.

So amazing...

He didn't push her away, but reached out and gently stroked her back. He said, "Don't cry, I'll take you away."

He couldn't take him home, he still didn't have the courage, so he first let Cen Yin stay in the guest house for a few days, and then he secretly bought a house in the suburbs of Beijing and moved Cen Yin in.

When Cen Yin moved in, the house was empty. Apart from the most basic appliances, she had not had time to buy anything else.

Wang Yu did not tell her his name was Wang Yu. She had asked him what his name was before, and he said his name was Qiong Zhang.

Qiongzhang is his courtesy name.

That's what everyone close to him calls him.

He subconsciously told Cen Yin that his name was Qiong Zhang.

He also didn't know why when Cen Yin asked him what his name was, he blurted out Qiong Zhang instead of Wang Yu.

He didn't dare to tell her that his father was Wang Shun, because he knew that his father was a bad person...

Perhaps, he also had his own selfish motives. In front of Cen Yin, he just had to be Qiong Zhang.

Later, Qiong Zhang found a maid for Cen Yin, who could talk to her when she was bored and take care of her daily life.

When this maid first came, the manor was still empty and deserted, but later, Cen Yin planted flowers and grass in it, and every time Wang Yu came to see Cen Yin, he would bring some rare items and place them in the room.

The cold village gradually warmed up.

Qiong Zhang was afraid that Wang Shun would find out, so he always secretly looked for opportunities to come to the manor here. Every time he came, Cen Yin would be very happy, as she liked to stay with Qiong Zhang.

To be precise, she likes Qiong Zhang.

However, she didn't know whether Qiong Zhang liked her or not.

Qiong Zhang is too pure and simple, and Cen Yin can always see through what he is thinking.

Just like when she was at Doctor Li's house, she could tell at a glance that if she knelt before him and cried, he would soften his heart. Also, just like if she kept following him in the snow, he would definitely take her home in the end.

She could coax him easily, but she still couldn't guess whether he liked her or not.

The cold winter passes quickly, spring comes, everything comes back to life, and it is a time of warmth and coolness.

One night, she coaxed Qiong Zhang into saying that he loved her.

That night, Qiong Zhang's eyes were brighter than the full moon in the sky. The two of them sat in the yard. Cen Yin half coaxed and half lied, and heard Qiong Zhang tell her that he liked her.

Cen Yin was stunned for a moment and smiled happily, but she just thought that Qiong Zhang said this to make her happy.

But Qiong Zhang would never say such inappropriate words just to please a girl.

Besides, there is no such thing as coaxing or lying. He said all these things not because Cen Yin was coaxing or lying. He just likes her because he likes her.

However, Cen Yin felt too insecure, and Qiong Zhang could only occasionally find opportunities to come and see her. When Qiong Zhang didn't come, she always felt uncomfortable living in the manor. She didn't know when Qiong Zhang would come next time, and she was always afraid that there would be no next time, and that he would never come again.

Just like the time before, when her father sold her to a brothel's madam, he stuffed a piece of candy in her mouth and said he would come back to pick her up later.

But she waited and waited, but he never showed up.

It took her a whole month to believe that her father didn't want her anymore.

The memories of her childhood hung over her heart like a shadow, and she was always afraid that Qiong Zhang would abandon her.

She was always afraid that he would never come again.

Finally, she waited for Qiong Zhang again. This time, Qiong Zhang didn't come for more than half a month. Cen Yin was scared and said a lot of bad things. She questioned Qiong Zhang, asking him if he didn't want her anymore and whether he didn't want her to be a burden anymore.

Qiong Zhang didn't understand why Cen Yin thought this way. He just couldn't come too often. If he came too many times, it would inevitably arouse his father's suspicion.

He has to choose the right time to go out to see her; he can't just come whenever he wants.

But he didn't know how scared Cen Yin had been during the past half month.

Qiong Zhang watched Cen Yin cry and listened to her questioning him again. He really didn't understand. If he didn't like her, would he go to so much trouble to come here? If he didn't want her, why did he bring her back in the first place?

But even though Cen Yin was crying and making a fuss, he was not angry, he just felt distressed.

She cried so hard that she couldn't even breathe, and Qiong Zhang felt very uncomfortable seeing that.

He hugged her and said, "I didn't give up on you. I told you last time that I loved you. Why didn't you believe me..."

He never thought that the word "like" was something embarrassing. If you like someone, just say it. How would others know if you don't say it?

But even after she told him, Cen Yin still didn't believe it.

Qiong Zhang thought, maybe it was because she had been deceived by too many people and bullied by too many bad people in the past.

Poor Ayin...

He patted her back and assured her again and again that he would not abandon her. He knew that she was very suspicious, and he swore that if he did not abandon her, he would die a miserable death.

The next moment, Cen Yin broke free from his arms and kissed him on the lips.

Qiong Zhang was stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he did not move and let her kiss him.

He thought, if a kiss could calm her down and make her believe what he said, then that would be fine.

But the next moment Cen Yin started to take off his clothes.

Qiong Zhang was completely confused.

This time, after he reacted, he pushed her away.

He understood what she wanted to do.

Qiong Zhang was also very tearful, and when he saw Cen Yin doing this, he also cried.

He said, "Ayin, I told you I won't abandon you, don't do this..."

A woman untied a man's belt at a time like this. Wouldn't Qiong Zhang know what she was thinking?

After all, he was the son of the Prime Minister, and he had often been in and out of the palace since he was young.

In fact, Qiong Zhang knows more than anyone else.

He knew what Cen Yin was thinking. Was she trying to use her body to keep him?

This realization crashed into Qiong Zhang's brain, knocking him to pieces.

He doesn't want these, he just wants her to be well.

"Don't be like this, Ayin, you can't be like this. I'll come more often in the future. I'll come to see you when I get the chance. My father is a bit fierce. Wait for me. When I'm successful, I can take you home..."

He thought that as long as he could satisfy his father, he would be able to accept Cen Yin.

But Cen Yin still didn't believe it. She had been deceived by too many people.

The man's lies were endless, and she could hardly tell whether what Qiong Zhang said was true or false.

When I was in brothels, the sisters around me always heard such words. Those men always said, "Wait a moment, wait a moment and I will take you home..."

But later, without exception, they disappeared without a trace after finding happiness.

The ten days of waiting for Qiong Zhang almost frightened her to death.

She thought Qiong Zhang was the same as them.

She thought differently from him.

She just doesn't feel safe.

She is just afraid.

She wanted to use all possible means to keep Qiong Zhang.

She undressed herself.

She said, "You always say you like me, but you won't even touch me... Do you think I'm dirty? No, no one else..."

She wanted to say that no one else had touched her.

But Qiong Zhang covered her mouth with his hand, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Cen Yin could not understand.

It is sadness and heartache, but there is no disgust at all.

He didn't want to hear Cen Yin mention the past anymore, not because he despised her, nor because he didn't want to mention it and then deceive himself that she had never had anything... He just felt that Cen Yin had a hard time and her past was too hard, and he didn't want her to recall it again.

She is dirty? How can she be dirty?

Ayin is the purest person.

Qiong Zhang had never rejected Cen Yin. She had asked him to take her away from the Li family, and she had asked him to take her home...

Even though he was reluctant at first, he never rejected her in the end.

This time, it's the same.

If Cen Yin is so afraid, then just do it.

After doing it, she won’t be afraid anymore.

Don't be afraid... I won't abandon her... I won't give up on her...

Later, Cen Yin became pregnant, and they worshipped heaven and earth in the courtyard of the manor.

There was only one witness, the slave who took care of her.

Their daughter was born at dawn in spring.

They named her Jingchun.

At dawn, the sky is filled with rosy clouds, and a tree blooms in surprise in spring.

A year after Jingchun was born, Qiongzhang came to the manor more frequently, but he couldn't go on like this.

Wang Shun seemed to have gradually become suspicious.

Wang Shun has always been very busy. His position is not easy. When he was busy, his mind gradually drifted elsewhere and he didn't pay attention to Qiong Zhang for a while. However, after he had a daughter, he went to the farm more frequently. How could Wang Shun not notice that something was wrong?

Qiong Zhang felt that if he continued like this, he would be discovered one day.

What would be the consequences of being discovered? Is that something he could bear?

Not really.

If he found out that he had been lying to him for so long and that he was going to marry a dancer, he would definitely go crazy.

It just so happened that during that period, the land in Jiangnan was being converted from rice to mulberry trees, and Wang Shun was also troubled by this matter. Qiong Zhang told him to go to Jiangnan to handle the matter.

He wanted to marry Cen Yin, and he thought that he couldn't let Cen Yin wait for him on the manor all the time.

He wanted to take her home.

Took her and her little daughter home.

Before leaving, Qiong Zhang said to Cen Yin, "I'm going to do some things outside. When I'm done, I'll take you home to meet my parents. Ah Yin, wait for me to come back. You wait for me at the farm. If you want to eat or want something, ask others to buy it for you. Don't go out. It's scary outside..."

He was still afraid that Wang Shun would find them. In his opinion, as long as Wang Shun found them, he would never let them go. At that time, he was in Jiangnan and could not control them.

That's it.

So he had to coax her again and again and tell her not to go out.

Cen Yin didn't want him to leave, didn't want him to leave her.

But now she finally believed him, believed that he would not abandon her, believed that he would not leave her alone again. She knew that he had to leave this time, and she also knew that he went out to work in order to marry her and take her home.

Cen Yin didn't stop him, but still couldn't help shedding tears.

She said, "Qiong Zhang, do you still remember the oath you made before?"

"You said that if you dare not want me, you will die a miserable death."

"You have to come back, you must come back, I will wait for you, I will wait for you at home, I will not go anywhere, I will wait for you to come back..."

Qiong Zhang also wanted to cry, but he was a father now and couldn't always cry along with Cen Yin.

He hugged the one-year-old little Jingchun again.

She is still very young, looking just that small, smiling all day long, and she can't even call daddy or mommy.

He kissed her forehead. The child, who had always been well-behaved, cried terribly this time. Just a kiss from Qiong Zhang made her cry heartbreakingly. Qiong Zhang was frightened and held Jingchun and tried to coax her for a long time, but to no avail.

Cen Yin was also frightened; her daughter had never cried like this before.

Cen Yin also wanted to hold the child and comfort him, but Jingchun kept pulling at Qiongzhang's sleeve and refused to let go.

Cen Yin knew the reason, and she said, "Xiaochun doesn't want you to leave either."

Qiong Zhang was reluctant to leave them, but he had no choice. Qiong Zhang had to leave. He had to leave. He had to leave.

He still left and went to the south of the Yangtze River.

At first, Qiong Zhang said that he would come back at the latest during the Chinese New Year, but he didn’t. She waited for him for another year, but he still didn’t come back. Cen Yin waited with her daughter for another year. This year, her daughter could already call her mother and father...

However, Qiong Zhang still did not come back.

She had been alone for two years, relying on the maid who took care of her and her daughter. She even wondered if Qiong Zhang had also cheated on her...

Didn't this liar promise to come back and marry her? Didn't he promise to give her a home?

Cen Yin couldn't wait for Qiong Zhang and finally fell ill. She was depressed every day and her health was getting worse. Later, the maid beside her felt very upset seeing her in such a state. She heard that there was a temple in the capital called Miao'en Temple. She heard that the incense there was very effective, so if she went there to burn some incense, maybe she could get the young master back.

Cen Yin still remembered that two years ago, Qiong Zhang told her not to go out, but he never came back to see her, and she would no longer listen to him.

Cen Yin finally went out. She went to the famous Miao En Temple. She wanted to see Qiong Zhang again. She wanted to see him again. She just wanted to ask him why he lied to her. Why did he lie to her too?

She thought that she would never pay attention to him again, even if he came back, she would never pay attention to him again.

But, come back, Qiong Zhang, can't you just let her see him again? Why did you abandon her like this?

Cen Yin brought her daughter to burn incense, but on that day, she also lost her daughter.

Cen Yin asked them to return her daughter to her, as it was clearly her child, but they accused her of being a kidnapper.

Cen Yin was pushed to the ground, and her daughter was still taken away.

Nothing left... Nothing left...

Qiong Zhang was right, the world outside was scary and she really shouldn't have come out.

Cen Yin died. Before she died, she saw her daughter for the last time. The child was already four years old. She was doing well and looked fair and tender. So she passed away with peace of mind...Before she died, besides her daughter, she was also thinking about the man who had disappeared for nearly three years.

Qiong Zhang...didn't you agree to marry me?

It's been three years, why haven't you come back yet?

I don’t blame anyone anymore. I don’t blame anything anymore.

She was no longer angry. As long as he came back, she would not be angry with him anymore.

Qiong Zhang, I really want to see you again.

I want to very much.

A chilly breeze blew in from the window. Cen Yin raised her eyes and looked outside. The flowers and plants in the yard had already withered and were now desolate.

Just like her.

They have all returned home.

People say that the flowers in Luoyang are as beautiful as brocade, but it is not spring when I come...

This was how her life would be.

In the main hall of the Wang family, the maid told Wang Shun everything she knew.

It started when she was sent to take care of Cen Yin, and then they worshipped heaven and earth together. Then, when their daughter was born, Qiong Zhang left Beijing, and Cen Yin went to burn incense, until the child was snatched away...

Hearing this, Wang Shun's frown deepened even deeper.

He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little distorted.

"You mean, Qiong Zhang's child was kidnapped?"

The maid nodded.

"Which family is it?" Wang Shun's voice was trembling when he said this.

"It was the Shangshu Mansion, the family with the surname Jiang. Their wife was determined to snatch the child away. After the child was snatched away from her, she died of illness within a year..."

Jiang Family...

When Wang Shun heard this, he felt his blood run cold.

He finally realized that the person he was looking for had been right in front of him all along.

Isn’t the child who was kidnapped from Miao’en Temple the current Jiang Jingchun?

There was a cold wind blowing outside, and it blew in through the window gaps. Wang Shun felt that his limbs were about to be blown stiff.

His teeth were trembling and his face had turned pale.

Jiang Jingchun is Wang Yu's child, and this news left him breathless.

However, there was something even more devastating. When he realized this, he almost suffocated.

At first, Wang Yu went to the south and was killed by Jiang Nan. At that time, Jiang Nan had already completed the task of replacing rice with mulberry trees. He was immediately valued by Master Song Ge and his status and position also rose. Wang Shun had thought about taking action against him, but he always felt that killing him would be too easy.

No matter how he died, it seemed that it could not relieve the hatred in his heart.

Later, his eyes fell on Jiang Jinghui.

Jiang Nan treated his little daughter very well, and their family lived a happy life. The Jiang family prospered, and Jiang Nan's status and position also gradually changed.

But they are so happy, what about him?

At this time, his son had been dead for two years.

Wang Shun looked at the happy family, an idea slowly grew in his mind, why not let Jiang Nan endure his pain as well?

He had someone kidnap Jiang Jinghui.

It was he who caused Jiang Jinghui to disappear.

Letting a person die is really too easy. To him, Jiang Nan deserves to be cut into pieces.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to wear him down slowly and then let his daughter, whom he has been looking for for more than ten years, give him the final blow?

However, he didn't expect that after he kidnapped Jiang Jinghui...

As fate would have it, Ayu's child was also taken away by them.

At that time, someone reported to him that someone from the Jiang family had kidnapped a child from the temple. At that time, Wang Shun did not think anything. He just thought that the people from the Jiang family, one by one, had despicable blood running in their bones, so it was not surprising that they could do such a thing.

He just thought so, just thought so.

Then, he did nothing.

The Jiang family treated Ayu's child, his granddaughter, as a substitute and raised her for more than ten years.

He just watched the fire from the other side.

If Wang Shun had not kidnapped Jiang Jinghui, Jiang Jingchun would not have ended up like this.

But what about Wang Yu? If Wang Yu hadn't died, how could things have ended up like this?

The word "fate" is the most powerless thing. It strangles your throat and then keeps mocking you.

Wang Shun was almost suffocated.

All the blood in my body was rushing to my head.

He remembered that he had pushed Jiang Jingchun once. At that time, he wanted to scold Jiang Nan, so he scolded her for being a wild child without parents' guidance...

Without parental education...

Wild Child...

He actually scolded her with such words.

When Wang Shun thought of this, he could no longer breathe and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Lun and Wang Fu, who were standing by, were both frightened when they saw this. Wang Fu immediately supported him, and Xiao Lun immediately ran to find a doctor.

The truth is, no one can bear it.

How did their family end up living like this?

Ah Yu must have been worried to death watching from below. Seeing his wife and daughter living like this, he must have been worried to death.

Wang Shun could no longer hold on and passed out.
