Chapter 157 Melting
After bowing, Yue Hanzheng stood up and looked down at Qiao Suluo in front of him.
She happened to be looking up at him, her eyes so serious.
This was the first time Yue Hanzheng had seriously looked at Qiao Suluo's expression and eyes, and he seemed to understand the expectation in her eyes.
Yue Hanzheng's heartstrings trembled. For some reason, some past events flashed through his mind at this moment.
It wasn't about the things she did to him, like abusing him and selling him to Medicine King Valley, but rather the things he said to her after she rescued him and brought him out—those words were so cold and heartless.
Looking back now, he realizes he really shouldn't have done that.
Perhaps later, after staying in this mansion, eating the delicious food she cooked, and hearing Young Master Gu and Dong Qing often mention her, his attitude towards her gradually changed, his mindset gradually calmed down, and he became less hostile, which allowed him to calmly look at many things.
He had seen countless doctors, including imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy and numerous folk healers, but none of them could cure his legs.
It was only later that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion abandoned them.
For him, being unable to stand up and lead troops into battle, being unable to pick up a gun again, meant he was no better off dead than a useless person.
But who would have thought that his legs would completely recover and he would be able to stand up again?
Even at this moment, Yue Hanzheng still felt like he was dreaming, with an unreal feeling.
Yue Hanzheng was filled with complex emotions. He looked at Qiao Suluo with apologetic eyes and said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault before. I shouldn't have treated... my wife that way."
She finally uttered the words "wife," but her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible if you didn't listen carefully.
ha?
Qiao Suluo was startled. Yue Hanzheng called her "wife," which felt very strange to her.
The system said, "Host, don't refuse. In name, he is still your beast husband. You have a contractual relationship, and you haven't given him a letter of divorce. He is still your beast husband."
There's just no real relationship between them.
"The past is long gone, but I should repay the kindness my wife has shown me."
When Yue Hanzheng suddenly spoke to her in such a gentle manner, Qiao Suluo was completely taken aback and didn't get used to it.
She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, there's no need to repay the favor."
“I was very rude to you before, and I wasn’t good to you either, so it’s understandable that you hold a grudge.”
Putting herself in Yue Hanzheng's shoes, she could understand him and truly hated everything her predecessor had done.
So after she took over this body, she genuinely wanted to make amends.
Moreover, apart from being a bit rude at the beginning, Yue Hanzheng didn't do anything excessive to her.
If she were Yue Hanzheng, she would have taken action long ago.
"There's no need to repay the favor. I just happen to have some healing abilities and I'm happy to be able to heal your legs. Our General Yue is back, and everyone will be very happy."
Putting aside all grudges, she also admired Yue Hanzheng's abilities and what he had done.
He went to the battlefield many years ago when he was a young boy, and in his first battle, he defeated the enemy with fewer troops and protected the officials and the people.
This is quite remarkable.
In fact, when she examined him, she discovered that he had many old injuries and scars.
However, she used her wood-based powers to heal and repair him.
"If you want to return to the capital, I will write a divorce agreement for you, and you will be free."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt you again."
As she spoke, Qiao Suluo reached for a pen and ink to write this down.
Yue Hanzheng stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Suluo's hand.
When he came to his senses, Yue Hanzheng realized what he had done.
His brain hadn't even processed the information yet, but his body had already reacted instinctively before his brain could.
Qiao Suluo was stunned when Yue Hanzheng held her hand, and looked up at him in confusion.
Yue Hanzheng was somewhat flustered, but he forced himself to say, "I don't want to go back right now."
"Can you give me some time?"
“If my wife tells me to leave, I have nowhere to go now.”
When Yue Hanzheng said this, he lowered his posture, looking broken and weak. Qiao Suluo softened immediately when she saw him like this, "Then you should adapt first, stay and see, or you can write a letter back to ask what the attitude of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion is."
“Now that your legs have recovered, you can fight and do many things. They should also want you to go back.”
Yue Hanzheng said in a low voice, "Things are not that simple."
"My legs were betrayed, cut off, and the bones were crushed."
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Suluo felt a pang of pain. "Fine, then you decide for yourself. But whenever you want a divorce agreement, just tell me, and I'll give it to you."
"Alright, but please don't write it yet, my wife."
Under Yue Hanzheng's pleading gaze, Qiao Suluo instinctively nodded and said, "Mhm."
Seeing Qiao Suluo nod, Yue Hanzheng revealed a faint smile.
Although it was very light, it had a breathtakingly bright and beautiful quality, and his aura was like melting glaciers and snow melting away.
Qiao Suluo was momentarily stunned by the beauty.
"Host, host..."
The system was calling her name in Qiao Suluo's mind.
Qiao Suluo snapped out of her daze and said, "Then you guys rest first, I should go back."
With that, Qiao Suluo quickly tidied up and hurried back.
Yue Hanzheng suddenly became normal, and his attitude towards her also became normal, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
……
When they got home, Da Bao and Er Bao had already been put to sleep by Chu Moyuan and the others.
Qiao Suluo told Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan about Yue Hanzheng's leg.
"He has recovered now, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Chu Moyuan looked at Qiao Suluo with heartache and said, "It was clearly her who did it, yet my wife has to bear all of this."
Chu Moyuan had long known that his wife was not his predecessor, but Qiao Suluo had also said that this matter could not be told to outsiders.
He knew she had a secret that she couldn't tell, and therefore he couldn't tell Yue Hanzheng either.
Only Yue Hanzheng himself could discover it, but Yue Hanzheng had a deep prejudice against his wife, making it too difficult for him to find out.
Bai Qianlu gently stroked her hair and said, "From now on, my wife will no longer feel guilty. You have already done so much."
"If I were Yue Hanzheng, I would also thank my wife as he said."
"My wife may not know that by healing our bodies, you have given us a new life."
Not only did he recover his physical health, but he also gained supernatural powers.
Qiao Suluo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now that his leg is healed, I feel relaxed. I can be myself again from now on."
"I made a lot of money from the tofu workshop before. This is a silver note given to me by the manager of Zuixianlou. I plan to look for a shop in the next few days and open a restaurant."
"It would be best if the store were larger, with two floors, so that there would be more tables and chairs, and customers would have a place to sit and eat."
If you set up a stall, the stall space is limited. If there are too many tables and chairs in front, it will affect pedestrians' walking, which is really inconvenient.
"And summer is coming soon, and the weather will get hotter and hotter. If you set up a stall outside, you won't be able to stand the heat at noon."
“Taking stock would be better.”
Chu Moyuan said, "If I had ice-type abilities, I could make ice, and my wife wouldn't have to suffer from the heat in the summer."
Qiao Suluo's eyes lit up. Yes, if there were ice, she could rent a shop and open a stall in front of it to sell cold drinks.
This is also a business opportunity.
Unfortunately, none of them possess ice-based abilities.
Speaking of ice-type abilities, the system said, "Host, perhaps Yue Hanzheng can awaken ice-type abilities."
