After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

Wen Chu said, "Back then, a family was in the marriage stage, and someone from the girl's family came to read the horoscopes of the two people. That time, my grandfather saw that this marriage was really not suitable, so he broke the old saying that it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage, and advised them tactfully. Later, after they returned home, they pondered my grandfather's words several times, and finally saw that this marriage was not suitable, so they called off the marriage. But who would have known that the man who was going to marry knew that they had asked someone in the Taoist temple to tell their fortunes, so he suspected that it was my grandfather who instigated him to ruin his marriage, and he actually came to the Taoist temple to make trouble. He took advantage of the time when everyone was resting and brought people to find my grandfather and beat him like crazy. It was after that time that my grandfather's leg was broken, and he left the Taoist temple, and since then he was unwilling to tell fortunes for people."

Song Yusheng said: "This hexagram is accurate. A man who failed to get married is so crazy and beats people. How can he be a good man?"

"Yes, grandpa's predictions are rarely wrong. He doesn't let me do it because he doesn't dare. He's afraid that I'll make the same mistake and have my legs broken one day." Wen Chu's voice was filled with an unpredictable sadness. "Besides, a few words can easily change someone's fate. This will have consequences. Grandpa is afraid that I'll commit a sin, so he doesn't want me to do it."

Cause and effect, Song Yusheng's expression became a little gloomy when he heard this. Yes, these things are all caused by cause and effect. He has never liked these things, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism. It is better to say that he hates them than to say that he dislikes them.

The reason for hating it is precisely because of the word "cause and effect".

"If that's the case, then why do you want to tell fortunes for others now?" Song Yusheng asked this question obviously knowing the answer, why else?

As expected, Wen Chu said, "Because I took you home. The food I cooked was too bad and you couldn't eat it. I had to buy you food. You had no clothes to wear, so I had to spend money to buy you clothes. Besides, I couldn't always go to Doctor Zhao's house to get medicine for free. There was no other way. I had to spend money everywhere."

Even if she was just trying to repay a favor, doing this for her was already very kind.

It was already late when Song Yusheng carried Wen Chu home.

Wen Chu said so many words in one breath, and in the end she lay on his back without saying a word, and she didn't know when she fell asleep. He gently put her on the small wooden bed, bent down to help her take off her shoes, covered her with a quilt, and went to the yard to fetch water.

She drank so much today and she reeked of alcohol. She would feel more comfortable if she wiped her face before going to bed.

The moonlight shone into the yard, so it was not completely dark. He walked to the well with the wooden bucket. Wen Chu's house was considered remote and not many people came and went around.

However, at this moment, Song Yusheng heard extremely light footsteps behind him. The footsteps were very light and sounded a little tiptoeing.

It couldn't be Wen Chu's. Wen Chu had been drinking and could have fallen down in less than three steps. How could this be possible? Besides, it was her own yard, so there was no need for her to be so careful.

But what if it was her?

Song Yu was afraid of hurting the wrong person by acting rashly, so he stepped aside when the footsteps got closer.

The man had a stone in his hand and wanted to hit Song Yusheng, but Song Yusheng dodged it and tripped himself and fell to the ground.

With the help of moonlight, Song Yusheng recognized the man. It was Zhao Shun who brought people to cause trouble for Wen Chu that day.

Zhao Shun had been unwilling to give up since he failed that day and was injured by Wen Chu. After recovering from his injury, he wanted to come again. Tonight, he wanted to sneak in while the two of them were asleep, knock Song Yusheng unconscious first, and then teach Wen Chu a lesson. It was a perfect opportunity just now. He saw the stone was about to hit the back of his head, but who knew that he was dodged.

Zhao Shun saw that the truth had been revealed, but he saw that Song Yusheng was just a weak young man, and he was so angry that he wanted to rush over and fight with him. He didn't believe that he couldn't beat him! However, as soon as he stood up, his knee was hit by something and he fell straight to the ground.

Zhao Shun knelt on the hard stone ground with pain in his knees, and subconsciously he was about to scream out in pain.

Song Yusheng spoke before him, "If you dare to scream and wake her up, I will make you live a life worse than death."

When Zhao Shun heard this, he swallowed the pain back into his stomach. He felt that this did not sound like a lie. If he dared to shout, the man would really kill him.

He grimaced in pain and looked up at the culprit.

The moonlight was clearly evenly scattered in the courtyard, but for some reason, it seemed particularly bright where he was. The young man in white stood still, his eyes moving upward along the white corners of his clothes. There seemed to be a faint smile on his lips, but there was an indescribable coldness in his eyes.

He was slowly wiping his fingers that had just touched the stone with a handkerchief, then he walked lightly to Zhao Shun and squatted down.

Song Yusheng lowered his head and looked at Zhao Shun who was lying on the ground and made a "tsk" sound.

Even though there was no expression on his face, his disgust was clearly visible in just this one word, without any concealment.

Zhao Shun didn't dare to speak loudly, but just whispered angrily: "Who are you? Who are you? This is a grudge between her and me, why are you meddling in my business!"

"What's the grudge between you and her?" Song Yusheng repeated his words, and then couldn't help laughing. "What's the grudge between you two? Is it the grudge that you brought people to force her but failed?"

Song Yusheng hit the nail on the head. Zhao Shun was so angry that he wanted to fight again, but Song Yusheng didn't give him the chance. He seemed very distressed and said, "If you can't succeed once, you will try a second time. If you fail twice, you will try a third time. If you still can't succeed, you will never give up. You are as disgusting and despicable as a rotten rat. People want to get rid of you as soon as possible. Tell me, can you only be content with death?"

Zhao Shun heard Song Yusheng's murderous intention. He took two steps back in fear, holding his hands. He was frightened by Song Yusheng and stammered, "You dare?!" Song Yusheng stood up and looked at Zhao Shun on the ground with disgust. "Three times is the limit. If it happens again, do you think I dare?"

Killing him is easy, but he finds it troublesome and dirty.

Song Yusheng looked at Zhao Shun who was lying motionless on the ground and said coldly, "You, are you still not willing to get out?"

He no longer concealed his feelings at this moment, his voice was extremely cold, and his whole body seemed to radiate a strong chill, which was frightening.

After hearing what he said, Zhao Shun finally dared to move and fled away. It was terrible, even more terrible than seeing a ghost. What kind of person did Wen Chu pick up? He looked like a jade-faced demon!
After Zhao Shun left, Song Yusheng picked up the wooden bucket on the ground, filled it with water, washed the cloth and went in. With the moonlight coming in from the window, he found Wen Chu's bedside. After drinking, she was sleeping soundly and had no idea what was happening in the general's yard.

In the past, others had always served Song Yusheng, and this was his first time serving others. He was afraid that Wen Chu would be woken up by him, so he could only try to be gentle. The cloth gently wiped her face, and perhaps she felt someone moving on her face, and she made some noises from time to time, but fortunately she didn't wake anyone up in the end.

After wiping her face, Song Yusheng also lay down on the bed. He didn't fall asleep so quickly tonight, and he recalled Huai He's matter in his mind.

Song Yusheng felt that Li Zhaoxi might have passed away, and that he had agreed to help Emperor Linghui find someone for other purposes. But now that such an incident had happened and he had been away from Beijing for too long, there might be a lot of speculation in the court.

There was no time to delay any longer, he had to find a chance to return to Beijing.

*
The next day, Wen Chu woke up with a headache. She got up to boil some water, but saw that the water was already boiled on the table. She looked at Song Yusheng's bed and saw no one there. She knew that the water was probably boiled by Song Yusheng.

After she drank the water, she didn't see him in the room or the yard, and she didn't know where Song Yusheng had gone.

Wen Chu couldn't remember clearly what happened last night after she got drunk. She only remembered that Song Yusheng carried her home on his back. She had no idea what else they said or did.

Now that she couldn't see him all of a sudden, she couldn't help feeling anxious.

Could it be that she was drunk and didn't know what was going on, and that she had made Song Yusheng angry and run away? After all, his injury had healed now, and if he wanted to leave, she couldn't stop him. But on second thought, that shouldn't be the case. There was still warm water on the table, and it looked like it had been boiled not long ago. Even if he really ran away, there was no need to boil water for him.

She had spent too much money on Song Yusheng. If he really ran away, Wen Chu would be so angry that she would bite her tongue off. No, no, she comforted herself. Song Yusheng would not be such a person. Since he promised to repay her, he would not break his promise. Maybe he went out to relieve himself.

She just sat on the chair and waited, but after about an hour, Song Yusheng still hadn't come back. He had never experienced such a situation before, where someone disappeared early in the morning. The longer Wen Chu waited, the more disappointed she felt.

In her heart, she had almost thought that Song Yusheng would never come back. She was so angry that tears came out. How could he be like this? She worked so hard to heal his injuries, but he just disappeared like that.

"Bastard! Asshole! Shameless!" Wen Chu became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He cried and cursed angrily, but he didn't know when Song Yusheng came back from outside the door.

This morning, Song Yusheng only went to the river where Wen Chu found him, and also to some other places, and made some marks, so that if the secret guards came to look for him, they would be able to know his location clearly, and would not have to look for him aimlessly.

When I came back, I just heard Wen Chu cursing there.

Wen Chu raised her hand to wipe her tears and found a tall shadow behind her. She stood up and looked back, and saw Song Yusheng standing behind her.

Damn, I got caught swearing.

Song Yusheng turned his back to the sun and said with an unclear expression, "I just woke up too early today and went out for a walk. Is Chu Niang so afraid that I will run away?"

This time, Wen Chu felt that even if Song Yusheng wasn't angry, he should be angry. Being scolded for no reason early in the morning was indeed an unprovoked disaster. She stammered, "No, no, I'm just worried that the young master's injury will heal."

I was really afraid that he would run away.

Wen Chu really couldn't make up a lie. Seeing that Song Yusheng's face was getting more and more unfriendly, she was so anxious that her face turned red. In a hurry, she blurted out, "I'm afraid that after the young master's injury is healed, he will leave alone and not want me anymore!"

She was really afraid that Song Yusheng would run away alone. He was her hope for a smooth life in the second half of her life!

Wen Chu's cheeks were rosy because she had just cried, so her eyes were red and there seemed to be tears glistening in them.

Seeing her like this, Song Yusheng's heart couldn't help but tremble.
