Although Zheng Quchi couldn't beat him, and she often felt intimidated in front of him, she would not back down on certain principles and bottom lines.
Her clear brown eyes were filled with anger: "...What did you do to him? I pawned the bracelet to him. At that time, I was covered in injuries but penniless, and I wanted to ask for a share of the injuries from others. medicine, but I couldn’t give him anything of value in exchange, so… I gave him the bracelet you gave me, and if you want to blame, blame me.”
Covered with wounds and penniless... begging for medicine for wounds...
When Yu Wensheng heard her talk about his previous experiences, his heart suddenly tightened, and he felt like he could hardly breathe.
"I didn't kill him..."
Indeed, he had many opportunities to kill Gongchenya at that time, but in order to get clues about her, he did not act harshly on her.
He had previously thought that she had thrown away the things he gave her because she hated him.
Little did she know how difficult her situation must have been at that time.
"You didn't kill anyone?" Zheng Quchi also opened his eyes in surprise.
She knew that Gongchenya and his group planned to rescue Yang Gu from Yu Wensheng. The two sides had a proper hostile relationship, but he caught him but let him go so easily? This doesn't sound like Yu Wensheng's temperament of "I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go", right?
"Well, he was holding something I gave you, so I didn't kill him."
As for other methods of humiliation and torture, there is no need to explain them in detail.
Yu Wensheng, who had always been arrogant, finally lowered his head in front of her. After explaining, he rested his forehead on her shoulder, his voice was deep, and his magnetic and seductive voice was filled with sadness: "It's my fault... "
Why didn't he recognize her at that time?
Obviously, she recognized him, but he didn't have any doubts. No, he had doubts before, but because he was too conceited, he ignored those doubts.
Zheng Quchi had goosebumps all over her body. She finally understood the saying "It's the hardest to bear the kindness of a beauty." That serious person still remembers his hatred and resentment after being coquettishly admitted by a beauty.
Don't you have to say quickly, forgive him, forgive him.
...But her heart is hard, and she doesn't want to forgive him yet.
She moved uncomfortably. Her body was thin and her serious injuries had not yet healed, but she couldn't bear his height.
She pretended to comfort him: "Actually, I was also wrong. Although you married me with a fake identity, I also concealed another layer of my fake identity. We can be regarded as a fake couple. , Don’t worry, I will never take off your mask or gauze again, let alone do something that offends your taboos..."
"Do you want to alienate me?" Yu Wensheng raised his eyes.
"..."
Is he so sensitive inside? Look at his eyes looking through the misty gauze. They look gentle and affectionate, but in fact there is a biting anger hidden deep in them.
"No...you misunderstood." She swallowed.
Seeing that she had been frightened, Yu Wen Sheng turned away and said resentfully, "You have never been so cautious when talking to me before."
Mom, what does he want from her?
Don’t you have to be careful when making offerings to great gods? She has never seen a house that worships a great god who is so careless and unobtrusive.
In the past, she had blind eyes, but now she behaves according to the rules, can't she?
She reasoned with him: "Before, you were Liu Fengmian, but now, you are General Yuwen, the only general in Ye country. Even the king must be polite when talking to you, let alone me."
Those who were rude would have been sent to the Yama Hall to drink tea.
Yu Wensheng was silent for a moment, and the thick eyelashes that drooped slightly concealed some of the nervousness in his eyes: "Qu Chi, this bracelet is called the Luan bracelet, and there is also a Phoenix bracelet. They are a pair, and their meanings are The phoenix and the phoenix are the tokens passed down from generation to generation to the head of the Yuwen family and his wife."
This, this gold jade, no, this Luan bracelet, does it have such great significance?
Zheng Quchi didn't believe it, but felt that there was no need for him to lie to her.
Then, why did Yu Wensheng give it to her so easily?
To say that he fell in love with her at first sight, or that he had admired her secretly for a long time, she would never believe it.
But as soon as they got married, he gave her a token that represented a certain status. What does this mean...
Zheng Quchi recalled the past and suddenly remembered a fatal thing.
She remembered that he seemed to have said something like, "In our family, there has always been separation in death, never separation in life. If you want to marry me, I don't know which one you should choose?"
This sentence once again hit Zheng Quchi's mind like a tsunami, making her whole body numb.
Damn it, is this sentence not meant to scare her, but serious? !
Because Yu Wensheng's man only has one marriage in his life, once they get married, no matter how they feel or how they get along, there is no room for regret and retreat, so there is no doubt that the "Luan Bracelet" is going to be given to her?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
She wouldn't believe it. How could there be such perverted and overbearing marriage terms in this world?
"You'd better not give it to me such an important thing. I'm used to doing rough work, and I usually get bumpy when doing things. If I accidentally break it or lose it accidentally, then I will be guilty. That's too big." Zheng Quchi was determined to draw a clear line.
"Don't be afraid, it won't break easily. If you don't believe it, why don't I smash it and give it a try?" Yu Wensheng smiled and raised his hand.
Zheng Quchi noticed that the corners of his eyes were full of evil and sullenness, and his jawline was sharp, as if she didn't want it, and he didn't want this useless thing, so she was "resolute" one second and "shaken" the next.
A prodigal man, this thing has been passed down for so many generations. Not only is it an antique in itself, but it is also worth a lot of money just because of its quality. He just wants to smash it if he is not happy?
"don't want!"
She grabbed his hand and tried to pull it over: "Don't throw it away. This is the heirloom of your Yuwen family, and you just gave it to Huo Huo? Are you afraid that your ancestors will climb up from the ground and have a midnight fright with you?" !”
Yu Wensheng raised one hand and supported her waist with the other, looking down: "I just want to tell you that it is not easy to break. If it is broken, it means that your worries are correct. Yes, this kind of waste should just be broken into pieces."
Isn't he simply sick? This is jade, jade, it is not a stone. Even if it is a stone, it will break if you hit it hard.
She saw that he just wanted to vent his anger.
"Actually, my worries are unnecessary. I thought about it. It has followed me through life and death, and it has always been with me. As long as I don't damage it maliciously, it should be fine." She compromised.
"Really? Then let me put it on again for you."
As he said that, Yu Wensheng's expression changed, the gloomy red color faded from the corners of his fishy eyes, his smile was gentle, and he was a wolf in sheep's clothing again.
"……Um."
She held out her hand numbly.
What's the shame in being a cunning and ruthless wolf who can't play tricks on the opponent? On the contrary, it's stupid for someone like him to insist on giving away his family heirloom to others.
Zheng Quchi, who was trying to save his respect, cursed.
"Curve ruler?"
Not far away, a limping figure walked under the Huangguo tree. He saw the two people chatting beside the field from a distance, and immediately shouted.
Zheng Quchi raised her head, and her heartfelt joy suddenly appeared. She saw Brother Sang walking towards her.
"Brother!"
He had limited legs and feet and was leaning on a cane. He would stagger around when he got anxious, so she hurriedly rushed over to meet him.
"elder brother!"
"Zhizi, you...why have you turned so white all at once?"
“There is less sun in winter, so it’s easy to get white.”
When the two brothers and sisters met, they both looked happy and chatted endlessly, which made Yu Wensheng feel as if his existence was dispensable in an instant.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Brother Sang dangerously. If he was allowed to disappear...
"Feng Mian."
At this time, Zheng Quchi turned around and called him, and Yu Wensheng immediately came back to his senses and looked at her.
"Brother asked me to ask you, did you help pay for the grain in the fields and the land tax our family owes to the county this year?"
"Yeah." He responded without interest, other thoughts still running through his mind.
But Zheng Quchi was no longer calm: "Then those officers and soldiers who came to collect taxes to embarrass me, were you the ones who sent them away?"
"Um."
She was slightly startled when she heard this.
It turned out that when she was not at home, even if he was away fighting, he still protected his home for her.
Could it be that her view of people is too one-sided, and she only sees his ferocious side, but has not yet discovered his kind side...
Of course, if he still has a good side.
——
Since Zheng Quchi often went out to work, he didn't return home for a long time. Brother Sang only complained about her a few words, but he didn't suspect anything.
And Yu Wensheng had already blocked all information about Zheng Quchi in the county. The village was already closed to information. In addition, he had sent people to guard the area these days, so no unsighted person would come to "disturb".
On the way, Brother Sang pulled her aside and asked, "How long will it take for the city wall to be repaired? It's almost February."
Zheng Quchi replied: "It won't be long. The early stage is the most troublesome part. Now it's all messed up. The rest just takes time. Don't worry, the project will progress when the weather gets warmer." It will be faster."
When Brother Sang heard this, his serious expression immediately relaxed: "That's good. Then you will have free time. You should also quickly choose a time with your husband to give birth to your first child."
He talked to her in a low voice at first, but when the topic of procreation came up later, he couldn't hold back his voice.
Zheng Quchi is most afraid of him mentioning this now: "Brother, I'm still young, this matter is not urgent."
But Brother Sang has his own ideas: "Brother knows what you want to do. Just go ahead and give birth. After you give birth, I will raise the child for you. After you give birth to the child, I can do whatever you want."
After hearing what Brother Sang said, Zheng Quchi's eyes were blank, but he was shocked.
The degree of enlightenment of her parents is beyond belief even for modern people like her.
"elder brother!"
"Stop shouting, don't think that eldest brother doesn't know, you two... haven't consummated your marriage yet? What do you think, eldest brother doesn't want to guess, but since you have chosen to get married, you should have a beginning and an end, and you can't take the matter of marriage into account. It’s just a child’s play, after all, you two will have a baby within this year.”
Speaking of whether the marriage was consummated or not, he changed and washed all her bedding and bed covers. Could he know?
It's just that all this time, she didn't say it, and he didn't expose it.
He thought about leaving some time for her so that the two of them could get along well. Once they started to fall in love, some things would naturally fall into place. However, seeing that she was becoming more and more ambitious in her career, she was neglecting her family affairs. He had to worry about her.
Zheng Quchi quietly glanced at "Liu Fengmian" standing behind him, and saw that he had been looking at the brother and sister with a researching and deep look. Noticing her gaze back, he raised a harmless smile, He promised sincerely: "Brother, Quchi and I will work hard."
This was the first time he called someone, this time "brother", not to mention Zheng Quchi thought he heard it wrong, even Brother Sang was shocked.
Yu Wensheng suddenly changed his attitude just because he discovered that Brother Sang seemed to be a very key figure.
Because Zheng Quchi cares about him very much, far more than anyone else, so his words can greatly affect all her decisions. In this case, it is imperative to have a good relationship with Brother Sang. .
Because recently, Yu Wensheng loved the house and had troubles, and helped Brother Sang solve a lot of troubles invisibly. Brother Sang finally knew that "Liu Fengmian" was not as useless as he thought. Repulsed him.
Now, seeing "Liu Fengmian" change his attitude is even more beneficial.
"Okay, I know I am nosy about this matter, but there are no other elders in our family. If you don't care about it, I will naturally care about it for you. But after all, this is your husband and wife's matter. Let's discuss it carefully. .”
Brother Sang deliberately walked away and let the two of them talk in private.
Zheng Quchi thought to himself, let her have a child with Yu Wensheng? Is she crazy? is she?
"General, general, don't listen to big brother's nonsense. Giving birth...is not that simple." She said awkwardly.
But Yu Wensheng asked innocently: "How difficult is that?"
"...It won't be difficult for you to give birth."
hehe.
"..." Yu Wensheng was choked for the first time in his life and was speechless.
Zheng Quchi smiled back.
very good!
Zheng Quchi, you are on your way!
You finally defeated him verbally!
——
changxunyingzhai
In the main army's tent, one letter after another with the king's seal came from the capital of Ye Kingdom, but Yu Wensheng had not opened any of them.
On the other hand, Yu Wensheng picked up another hollowed-out wooden "letter" that was scented with a strange aroma and found it interesting to play with his fingertips.
"General, King Ye has issued eleven letters urging his return." Wang Zebang said with a frown.
"Guess, is he marrying me for me, or is he trying to invade the Julu Kingdom and massacre the city?"
Wang Zebang thought for a while: "It's both."
Seeing that the general ignored this matter, Wang Zebang looked at the wooden letter in his hand: "Is this the wooden letter from Gongshu Shou? Is it about Gongshu Lan?"
"No, it's just an invitation letter."
"invite?"
"Jichun Craftsmen's Guild."
