Chapter 479 Cuckold
On the other side, Zhi Luo left the Huo Mansion in a carriage, passed the wine shop on the street, and came to the alley at the corner of the street.
Luo Dongdong sat on the stone steps, his head lowered quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he heard the sound of the carriage approaching, his expression was both expectant and inexplicably gloomy.
Since that night, he often took leave and rushed over from the garrison to have secret meetings with Zhiluo.
Rong Yiquan completed the unfinished training task for him while cursing.
In addition, he only had one arm, so the military officers did not make things too difficult for him and allowed him to travel to Kyoto again and again.
Originally, he should have been delighted to see the girl he had been thinking about and loving for many years, and the guilt of "cuckolding Huo Gannian and sleeping with his wife" gradually disappeared.
The main reason is that Luo Dongdong and Rong Yi have carefully analyzed that Huo Gannian only has Yun Chen in his heart and it is impossible for him to fall in love with Zhiluo.
So every time he came, Luo Dongdong was sincere and came with the mood of "meeting his lover" or "meeting his future daughter-in-law".
He never thought that he, who was so disabled and humble, could be favored by a fairy.
He was so nervous that his heart was pounding, but he always took care to tidy himself up.
Sometimes I bring fragrant freshly baked cakes, and sometimes I pick wild flowers blooming brightly on the roadside.
Whenever someone comes to see Zhiluo, Luo Dongdong never comes empty-handed, and always brings gifts.
But this time, he brought nothing.
The sound of a carriage came from afar and stopped in front of Luo Dongdong. The familiar sweet fragrance entered his nose, and as usual, it made him feel uncontrollably hot all over.
The guard driving the carriage left obediently according to the old rules.
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, and Zhiluo's bone-thin and pale hand stretched out and beckoned to Luo Dongdong.
Luo Dongdong tried hard to suppress the sensations in his body, taking deep breaths repeatedly in an attempt to remain calm.
He struggled for a moment, frowned and looked at the curtain:
"They say... you killed people, abused palace maids, and mistreat servants. Is that true? They say your zoo is... specifically used to destroy corpses and cover up evidence. They say you're crazy, sick, and not a good person... But I don't believe the rumors. I don't believe you're that kind of person. I want to hear it from your own mouth!"
"Haha..." After hearing this, Zhi Luo was not angry, but laughed out loud without restraint.
She lifted the curtain further, allowing the sweet and enchanting smile, mixed with the heat from the fireplace, to pounce on Luo Dongdong even more fiercely.
She stood high above, a cold green light illuminating her beautiful face, and her voice was as alluring as a monster in human skin:
"Come in, and I'll tell you. Come—come—"
Luo Dongdong looked up and stared blankly for a moment.
He felt his mouth dry and his heart was pounding. He swallowed hard and then climbed into the carriage uncontrollably...
A short dream in a spring night.
When Luo Dongdong woke up again, Zhiluo was still asleep.
In the carriage, the heating fire had gone out, and Zhi Luo curled up in a ball due to the cold, sleeping peacefully and softly.
It was too dim last night to see clearly. Only then did Luo Dongdong realize that Zhi Luo's cheeks were swollen again, covered with bruises that could not be covered by makeup.
He picked up a single piece of clothing and put it on, then carefully covered Zhiluo with the remaining outer clothes and a small quilt.
He kissed Zhiluo's cheek lovingly, feeling that the rumors must be lies. He didn't believe that Zhiluo was "that someone" or "the female devil" that others were talking about!
In his heart, Zhiluo will always be the quiet, intelligent and powerful female military advisor he first met in Dongzhao Kingdom. Although she holds a high position, she is humble and willing to take time out of her busy schedule to teach him Mandarin word by word.
She was so gentle, her voice was so sweet, and her smile made him lose his mind.
The people in Kyoto are so evil. How could they slander the goddess he has admired for so many years?
Forget it, even General Huo and Boss Yun were wronged like that, which shows that Kyoto is a den of cannibalism and unreasonable people.
Zhiluo is now a court lady, and every now and then she has injuries on her body or face. According to her, these are all punishments for doing things wrong. It must be very difficult...
Thinking about this, Luo Dongdong looked at Zhiluo again and felt even more angry, powerless, and distressed.
Alas, isn't the only one who can punish Zhiluo the current emperor?
Even Huo Gannian and Yun Chen couldn't resist, so what could an ordinary soldier with only one arm do?
Even if he saw his beloved girl injured with his own eyes, he could only grit his teeth and swallow a long sigh.
He hit his broken arm helplessly, bent down and walked out of the carriage.
As usual, the guards who came on horseback would not come back, so he had to send Zhiluo back in a carriage.
He skillfully steered the horse with one hand, heading towards the Huo Mansion in the sky which was just beginning to brighten before the sun rose.
Passing by a small stall selling jujube paste cakes, Zhiluo woke up at some point and said:
"I'm hungry."
Luo Dongdong immediately stopped the carriage and went down to buy some cakes.
Behind the steaming pastry stall, the vendor was a woman wearing a coarse yarn hat and coarse cloth clothes.
Although I couldn't see her face, I could clearly see that her belly was bulging, and she was actually pregnant.
There was also a half-grown little boy running around, helping his mother sensibly.
Luo Dongdong touched the child's head and asked the pregnant woman:
"Sister, you're pregnant, why are you still selling cakes? And you're carrying a child before dawn, it's too hard."
The woman smiled shyly through her veil:
"My husband was climbing a ladder to repair the roof and accidentally broke his leg. He can't leave the stall, so he has to rely on me."
As if thinking that Luo Dongdong was going to cause trouble, the little boy who was helping shouted:
"My mother went out with my father's permission. She didn't break any laws! You can't arrest my mother!"
Luo Dongdong was amused and flicked the little guy's head. Just as he was about to tell a joke to amuse the child, Zhiluo behind him opened the car window and said with a smile:
"Then let's not arrest your mother, arrest you, okay?"
The little boy glanced at Zhiluo. The beautiful older sister in front of him was clearly smiling brightly, but the little boy felt scared for no reason. He grabbed the woman's sleeve tightly and hid behind her.
The woman held her bulging belly and smiled indulgently:
"This little guy loves me and helps me sell cakes every day. He's not afraid of people. I don't know what happened today."
Luo Dongdong smiled in agreement, and deliberately said to the little boy in a voice that Zhiluo could hear:
"This sister is so beautiful, like a fairy. Don't be afraid of her. She is a good person just like me."
Zhiluo did not accept Luo Dongdong's goodwill.
She seemed to be attracted by something new and interesting. She leaned out of the car window slightly, her eyes fell on the little boy's hand holding the woman's sleeve, and she tilted her head and smiled:
"Oh!"
The laughter frightened the little boy so much that he trembled and hid behind the woman, his hand retracting quickly.
Only then did Luo Dongdong notice that the little boy had six fingers on one hand.
Luo Dongdong walked forward, squatted down, looked straight at the timid little boy, and then shook his empty left sleeve vigorously.
This action made the little boy let down his guard, and he slowly approached and curiously touched Luo Dongdong's broken arm.
Luo Dongdong took the opportunity to touch the little boy's head again, and using the crudest joking method among men, he grabbed the little boy into his arms and tickled him.
When the little boy had lost all his guard, Luo Dongdong said:
"Look, you have extra fingers and I have an arm missing, how similar we are! There are so many people with disabilities in the world, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, just be open and honest!"
The little boy laughed happily and nodded vigorously.
The woman next to him also smiled gratefully and hurriedly filled Luo Dongdong's bowl with the softest and most tender pastries.
No one noticed that in the carriage behind them, Zhiluo was smiling with her chin in her hand, watching this heartwarming scene with great interest, with a chilling excitement shining in her eyes.
