Dan Shihan withdrew his hand, got up, and left.
Yue Xiuzhen stared blankly at the silver ingot in her palm. Was this the capital he had promised her to do business with?
"What kind of business can you do with ten taels of silver?”
Ten taels of silver, as far as she knew, was the Dan family's annual expenses. Dan Shihan was willing to give her a year's worth of his family's life savings as the capital of his business. It would be a lie if he wasn't moved.
Yue Xiuzhen sat with the blanket for a long time and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Dan Shihan finished reading and came back, he saw the little woman hugging the blanket and sleeping against the wall. He quietly walked over, put his arm around her slender shoulders, and slowly laid her down.
Sitting by the bed, Dan Shihan looked down at the sleeping woman. The image of her cutting off her long black hair five years ago and using it to ask for marriage kept appearing in his mind. Unknowingly, in five years, her hair had returned to its original appearance, soft and beautiful. Her eyelashes were like fans, and she had once secretly shed tears after he fell asleep. When she had cried enough and fell asleep, he would quietly wipe away the tiny tears that remained on her eyelashes. Her face was very beautiful, an oval-shaped face that men loved the most. Her cheeks were a faint pink. Her lips were very small, as big as a cherry. There were faint dimples on both sides of her lips. If she did not laugh happily, it would be difficult to notice.
Dan Shihan's long and narrow phoenix eyes lingered on Yue Xiuzhen's small face. Suddenly, his gaze turned cold. Under his sparse bangs, a scar the size of a pigeon egg appeared in his eyes. She couldn't help but raise her hand to pull away her bangs. The floodgates of her memories opened. That was the day she got married. The Wang family had ordered people to tear up Yue Xiuling's wedding dress, lock her up in a damp dungeon, and even throw the baby out on the street…
"Husband, you're back."
He gently called out to Dan Shihan, who was still deep in thought. He looked at Yue Xiuyan, his hand still on her forehead.
"Husband, I'm not sick." Yue Xiu Xin pulled her hand away from her forehead and wanted to sit up, but Dan Shihan stopped her.
Dan Shihan took off his robe and lay down." Go to sleep."”
"Husband, are you angry?”Yue Xiuzhen hesitated for a while, but she still decided to say it. Some things couldn't be delayed. The more they delayed, the more troublesome it would be. For example, when she could not figure out Dan Shihan's temper, it was best to solve the problem in time so that the misunderstanding would not grow bigger and eventually get out of hand.
Dan Shihan turned his head and looked at Yue Xiuzhen sitting up with a heavy expression. She sat upright, as if she was about to talk about serious matters.
"If you don't sleep, what are you hunting for at night?”
The man's unhappy tone made Yue Xiuzhen clench her fists angrily and pout in dissatisfaction." Dan Shihan, I'm not Zhong Kui, and I don't have the ability to catch demons.”
"Pfft, hehe. How did your sharp mouth endure five years of silence?”Dan Shihan stared at the cherry red lips with interest. Why didn't he realize that her lips were very beautiful and that her lips were red?
Yue Xiu pouted. She didn't dare to tell the truth. She said that Yue Xiu Xin, who had pretended to be mute in the past, was dead, and now she was a soul attached to Yue Xiu Xin.
"Why aren't you talking?" After not getting an answer for a long time, Dan Shihan asked casually. He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.
Yue Xiuzhen stared at the man with her chin in her hands. This man had a handsome face and a refined temperament. He definitely stood out from the crowd. It was a pity that she was born in this poor peasant family. Otherwise, she would have become a phoenix or a dragon.
"Dan Shihan, have you ever thought about leaving this place?”
The sudden question stunned Dan Shihan and he didn't know how to answer. He had once thought of leaving. However, there were some reasons that forced him to continue guarding here. Later on…when he saw through the filth of the world and got used to the ugly faces and sinister hearts of the people, he began to despise fame and fortune and yearned for the idea of returning to the mountains.
Yue Xiuyan looked at the man's absent-minded phoenix eyes. She didn't want to disturb him. Everyone had a scar that they didn't want to open. Even though she could hear Dan Shihan's inner voice, she would rather block herself from listening and not wonder what his inner world was like.
After some time, Dan Shihan suddenly asked,""Why do you think I should leave?”
" That's because you're a dragon. You shouldn't be trapped in shallow water."”
a dragon wandering in a shallow bay is teased by shrimps. He didn't think that he was a noble person, but he believed that he could stand on a noble position with his own ability. It was just…"It's lonely at the top. Sitting on the throne was not necessarily a good thing. Living an ordinary life was also a pleasure.”
"I agree." Yue Xiuzhen smiled sweetly and hugged the blanket as she lay back on the bed. She leaned shoulder to shoulder with Dan Shihan and said lightly,""Dan Shihan, you just have to be a free cloud and wild crane. "From now on, I'll take care of this family. You don't have to work hard. You just have to study, practice calligraphy, write poems, and paint.”
"You'll bear it?" Dan Shihan seemed to have heard a joke. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and looked at her." How strong are your shoulders? Can you support your family?"”
"Hmph, don't look at me through the crack of the door. I'm a merchant girl.”Yue Xiuzhen raised her chin proudly, as if she was saying," I am very capable."
Dan Shihan couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and stroked his soft black hair." I'll accompany you to shop tomorrow and see what kind of shop you can open."”
"Ten taels of silver to open a shop? Don't joke around." Yue Xiu rolled her eyes at him, grabbed the big hand that was covering her head, and played with it in her hand. She said,"You go do your thing, don't bother about me. Even if I don't have any ideas, there's still my sister-in-law and sister-in-law to help me come up with ideas.”
Dan Shihan's fingers were being played with by a pair of soft and boneless hands. He felt a little restless and turned his head to stare at her nonchalant little face. In a trance, he felt as if he had returned to the afternoon five years ago when he first met Yue Xiuling.
"Ling 'er!"
When the words came out, Dan Shihan and Yue Xiu were shocked.
"Ahem, I'm tired." Dan Shihan turned around and closed his eyes.
Yue Xiuzhen came back to her senses and burst into laughter. She leaned on the man's shoulder and said with a smile,""Husband, don't worry, I won't be angry. It's not like I don't know that you like Ling 'er. What's there to be shy about? It's okay, it's okay. Go to sleep."
Dan Shihan's eyes were closed, and his face was slightly red. The person he liked was Ling 'er. Why was the person in his mind Yue Xiuzhen?
