The crescent moon is beautiful, and the night is cold and the river is still.
Get up and be coquettish, the shadow of the plum blossom is thin across the window.
What a frosty day, but I'm free to pass the cup to the hand.
Do you know? After the crows crowed, the joy of returning home was as strong as wine.
Song. Wang Zao. Twinkle Lips,,,,,
Zhangsun Yu looked coldly at the embroidered bag on the table. Inside was the money she had given him for selling herself.
Did she want to write off everything with him just like that?
No, he wouldn't let her do that. He still kept the contract that she wrote. It wouldn't be settled just by paying him back.
He had to get her back.
Sang Yunong, who was in the Zhang family's residence, fell ill because of a cold and lovesickness.
"What did the doctor say?" Zhangsun Yingying pulled Zhang Zhiliang and asked anxiously.
"Yunong's body is weak to begin with, so it is harder for her to recover from her illness than ordinary people. She needs to take more medicine.”
Zhangsun Yingying looked at Sang Yunong's pale face." Should we inform Fifth Brother?"”
"Is this alright?"
"Maybe Sister Yunong will recover soon after seeing Fifth Brother.”
"It's been three days, and there's no news of your brother at all.”Zhang Zhiliang sighed.
"I can see that Fifth Brother's mood has always been very unstable, and he often loses his temper at the servants.”
"Then why is he hesitating?"
"You must be struggling with the shadow in your heart!”
Zhang Zhiliang pulled Zhangsun Yingying's wrist and walked out of the room. "Should we take the initiative to send Yunong back to the villa?”
"Take the initiative? Wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?"
"The three days of separation should have some effect. Why don't you go back and spread the news? The more miserable the better.”
"Sister Yunong might not be willing to go back. We made Fifth Brother sound so heartless and cold-blooded that day. Sister Yunong might have believed us.”
"She's so sick that even if she wants to object, there's nothing she can do. We'll push the boat with the current and let the lovers finally get together.”
"Alright then! I'll go back and try." Zhangsun Yingying wasn't confident either.
Just as Zhangsun Yu was about to leave, the Suzhou magistrate wanted to cooperate with him on a business deal. He rejected it because he was really not in the mood to make money.
"She's sick." Zhangsun Yingying rushed over.
"Who's sick?"
"Sister Yunong is dying of illness." Zhangsun Yingying exaggerated.
Zhangsun Yu's cold expression instantly turned frantic. He jumped onto the horse and galloped away.
About fifteen minutes later, the horse stopped in front of the Zhang family's gate. He hurriedly rushed in.
When Zhang Zhiliang saw Zhangsun Yu, he teased him." You're finally here."”
"Where is she?"
Zhang Zhiliang pointed to the west wing. "She's very sick."
He didn't say any polite words and immediately rushed to the west wing. He hadn't seen her for three days. How could she suddenly fall ill?
As soon as he entered the room, he walked straight to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed with his lips pursed tightly. His cold gaze could not move away from Sang Yunong's pale face.
He held her slender wrist and frowned in frustration.
"The doctor said that as long as the fever goes down, you'll be fine.”Zhang Zhiliang said this on purpose.
"I want to take her away." Zhangsun Yu said woodenly.
Zhang Zhiliang couldn't wait to snicker, but he didn't want to make it too obvious."No, Yunong will not agree to go with you.”
" I don't need her consent," Zhangsun Yu said domineeringly." When she signed the contract, she should have known that she was destined to be inseparable from me for the rest of her life."”
"You have Yu Ping, don't you?" Zhang Zhiliang asked anxiously.
Zhangsun Yu did not reply and simply carried the unconscious Sang Yunong out of the door. "Move aside, you can't stop me."
Zhang Zhiliang held back his laughter."You can't ride a horse like this. I will prepare a carriage for you."”
After sending them off, Zhuo Zhiliang heaved a sigh of relief.
Only then did Zhangsun Yingying, who was panting heavily, rush to the Zhang residence. "Fifth Brother's horse is riding very fast. I can't catch up no matter how hard I try.”
"Let's go."
"No way! Fifth Brother is so stubborn, what method did you use to convince him?”
Zhang Zhiliang smiled." There's no way. I didn't say anything and she was taken away.”
"So direct?" Zhangsun Yingying also found it interesting.
" He was sitting in front of Yunong's hospital bed and thinking about something. He said that he wanted to take Yunong away. I pretended to object, but your idea is really good.”
Zhangsun Yingying was a little proud of herself." I lied to Fifth Brother and told him that Sister Yunong was dying of illness. He was so anxious that he rushed over at full speed.”
Zhang Zhiliang and Zhangsun Yingying looked at each other and smiled. He tapped her nose." Your acting skills are really good."”
"It's fun! Yu Ping must have exploded with anger. She thought that the ideal husband she had was going to become someone else's.”When she thought about it, she would smile even in her dreams.
"Do you want to go back and take a look? Your brother is busy taking care of the patient. Wouldn't it be terrible if the Yu Sisters gave it their all?”
Zhangsun Yingying seemed to wake up from a dream." That's right! I forgot that they are very cunning. Come back to the villa with me! I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."
"This isn't right. What identity should I use to go back with you? Yu Ping will be more wary. You go back and deal with it first. If there is any situation, send someone to send a message to me. Chang Zhi can be trusted. He will help you when necessary.”
"Your identity is not difficult to explain. Just say that you're my fiancé. Isn't it good for us to be engaged privately for life?”
"You think too highly of me. Zhangsun Yu might not be willing to marry his sister to me.”
"Fifth Brother is the one who is happy. If you marry me, we will love each other and he will not have to worry about Sister Yunong being snatched away by you.”
" Are you willing to marry?" he asked.
"Let's settle the matter between Fifth Brother and Sister Yunong first. After they pay their respects, we can talk about everything when Fifth Brother is in a good mood.”This was her wishful thinking.
Zhangsun Yingying mounted her silver-maned horse." I'll go back first."”
"When was this horse tamed?" Zhang Zhiliang patted the horse's body.
"Fifth Brother spent an afternoon taming it last month. It's very easy to ride now, and it's also human.”
"I'll enter the manor tomorrow in the name of visiting the sick. We'll act according to the situation.”
Zhangsun Yingying nodded and galloped away.
Sang Yunong slowly opened her eyes and looked around in surprise.
"Why am I here?" She left, didn't she?
"You're sick. I brought you back.”Zhangsun Yu hid his ecstasy after seeing her wake up.
Sang Yunong struggled to sit up, but her body was powerless.
"You haven't fully recovered yet. Don't force yourself.”He growled.
He had always been calm, but her illness had disrupted his calmness.
"Why did you bring me back here?"
"Yingying told me that you're seriously ill and about to die.”
She turned to look at him." If you die, everything will be over. The daughter of Sangkunshan doesn't deserve to live on your land."”
"I told you I wouldn't let you die before me," he said in a deep voice.”
"If I die, you won't have the fun of torturing people anymore.”She wasn't sure what he meant.
He examined her firmly." There's no real joy in torturing people.”
"You don't understand torture better than I do. Perhaps in your heart, my father is the culprit who caused your father pain, but all these years, I have seen my mother's pain, until she died of depression. Because of your mother's existence, my father never loved my mother. Even though your parents have passed away, my father has never forgotten his initial love. As for a child who grew up in an environment where her parents were sad, how close do you think happiness can be to her?”She said with tears in her eyes, then closed her eyes and stopped talking.
He admitted that he was being too subjective. He was trying to adjust his mood slowly.
"Are you hungry? I asked Xi Mei to make some porridge." he said.
After a while, Miao Miao came in with a tray.
"You are only allowed to leave after serving Miss Sang.”Zhangsun Yu stood up and left after giving Miao Miao his instructions.
Miao Miao nodded her head and said," Miss Yunong, you have heard Lord Fifth's words. Please don't make things difficult for me."”
Sang Yunong opened her eyes. "I don't have much of an appetite."
"Eat a little. After you open your stomach, you'll naturally be able to eat more.”
Sang Yunong was half-lying down as she ate her porridge in small bites.
"After you left, all of us servants missed you so much. We all said that Fifth Master's temper was better when you were around. Chief Steward Chang was the most unlucky. He almost lost his job because of a small matter the day before yesterday. Miss, don't leave home again." Miao Miao requested with a smile.
"This isn't my home. I'm just a maid like you.”
"Miss, don't let your imagination run wild. How can you be the same as us? We all said that Fifth Master wanted to marry you, but he was too embarrassed to say it.”Miao Miao retorted with a chuckle.
Sang Yunong was shocked."Why do you think so?”
"Old Minister Zhangsun of Luoyang has sent a letter. I also heard from the servant girl serving Young Lady Yu that the old minister asked if Fifth Master had found his granddaughter-in-law. Don't you think Fifth Master can't wait to marry you?”
"I'm full. I'll eat the rest at night.”She coughed a few times.
Miao Miao poured a cup of warm water for Sang Yunong.
Sang Yunong lay back in bed after drinking it." Miaomiao, thank you.”
"It's my honor to be able to serve you. You have a good temper and are considerate of servants, unlike Miss Yu. For some reason, her temper was not very good recently, just like Fifth Master. She would scold people randomly.”
The servants did not have much of a wish. They hoped that their master would be easy to serve. Therefore, they were all willing to be summoned to serve Sang Yunong.
It was not hard to imagine how Yu Ping's temper was. Sang Yunong had been away for three days, and Zhangsun Yu had treated her coldly. Now that Sang Yunong had returned, he was even more polite to her.
"Sister, I think we should go back to Luoyang!”Yu Xiang sighed.
"Why do you want to return to Luoyang?"
"Brother Yu's heart is completely tied to Sang Yunong and he doesn't care about you at all. What's the point of us staying in Suzhou?”
"I really can't accept this."
Yu Xiang glanced at her sister." Why don't we just poison Sang Yunong to death?"”
"Poison her?"Zhangsun Yu might kill her.
"At least you don't have to watch her and Brother Yu live together.”
Yu Ping shook her head with a bitter smile." If I poison Sang Yunong to death, there will be a second Sang Yunong. It's useless."”
The next day, Qin regretted coming to see Yu Ping.
"I want to return to Luoyang." Yu Ping said helplessly.
"Have you given up?"
Yu Ping sighed. A defeated beauty was still a beauty."So what if I don't give up? I'll only be an eyesore if I stay here.”
Qin Huizhi took out a piece of jade coral from her lapel. "For you."
Yu Ping took the jade coral. "Why are you giving it to me?"
"I suddenly realized that you are kinder than I thought.”He said sincerely.
" Huh?" Yu Ping was slightly stunned.
"Yu Xiang told me that she suggested that you poison Sang Yunong to death, but you actually opposed it.”
She shrugged. "I don't want to kill anyone."
"So you still have a conscience."
"Xiangxiang is too naive. I'm already at this age. I've already stopped her. I didn't expect her to discuss this with you. I'm really worried that she'll expose me.”She began to regret complaining too much to Xiangxiang, which made Xiangxiang want to stand up for her.
"I want to restrain her. If you want to go back to Luoyang, you might as well leave as soon as possible, lest the night drags on and Xiangxiang really gets into trouble.”
Qin Huizhi's words were not without reason, and Yu Ping's thoughts of returning to Luoyang became even more firm.
"What about you?"
"I'll guard the Fragrant Garden and earn a few more money. I'll see if I can change careers. After all, how can a girl from a good family be willing to marry a brothel owner? I don't want to be a bachelor for the rest of my life.”
"It's impossible for you to not make a lot of money after working for so many years. Why don't you stop working and change your environment to start over?”
"Follow you to Luoyang?"
"Why not?"
"I'm just a brothel owner." he belittled himself.
"Come on, your culinary skills are so good that there's nothing to say. Why don't you change your career and open a restaurant? If you want to make money, you don't have to go to a brothel.”Yu Ping had long wanted to suggest that he quit the mountain and change his profession.
Qin Huizhi was very tempted. "I will consider it."
Sang Yunong, who had just recovered from a serious illness, took advantage of the good weather to go to the plum forest to get some fresh air.
Because the illness was so aggressive, it hurt her even more. She only walked for a while and her legs were weak.
It was already early winter, and the plum blossoms were blooming more and more as it got colder. The delicate and dust-free her was placed in the plum forest, as charming as a fairy.
Leaning against a plum tree, she suddenly recalled the passionate love she had with Zhangsun Yu that day, and her cheeks flushed red. He always had the ability to bring out her lewd side and make her respond to him involuntarily…How shameless.
She loved him, and he loved her?
The way he treated her these few days was slightly different. Not only was he attentive, but he was also careful and protective, showing a gentleness that was different from the past.
"You've just recovered from your illness, and you're already outside in the wind. What if you get sick again?”
A caring voice came from behind Sang Yunong as the sound of footsteps slowly approached her.
"The weather is very good. It's a pity to stay in the house.”
"I didn't see you in the room just now, so I thought you had left again.”Zhangsun Yu's large hand grabbed her small hand tightly.
" Where can I go? Zhiliang and Yingying didn't support me. Even if I had the guts to leave, I wouldn't be able to go too far."Unless he let her go.
Zhangsun Yu lowered his head and kissed her tender lips tenderly. Because she was still weak, he gently supported her slender waist.
After a while, he finally let go of her. "I'm sorry, I was too rude."
Her heart skipped a beat as she was moved by his gentleness."I apologize for the harm my father has caused you.”
He shook his head and opened his heart." You're right. In that tragedy, you and your mother were both victims. Didn't my mother's existence bring pain to your family? I shouldn't have kept complaining.”
Hearing this, Sang Yunong could not hide her joy. "Do you really think so? You don't hate me?"
"Hating you is really hard. All the hatred that had accumulated in the past was completely eliminated by the heart that loved you.”He smiled warmly.
His sudden confession made Sang Yunong cry.
"Why are you crying?" His heart ached when he saw her cry.
" I'm too happy, that's why I'm crying…" She couldn't stop her tears from falling.
"Silly girl, you should smile when you are happy. Why did you force your tears out instead?”He wiped away her tears and coaxed,"Don't cry anymore. If you cry again, I'll kiss you again.”
"If I didn't cry, would you kiss me too?"”
He liked it when she asked him for a kiss. "You like me kissing you?"
She lowered her eyes, too embarrassed to answer.
"What do you want?" he croaked. Tell me, and I'll give you anything."
She struggled for a long time and murmured,"I only want you to love me."
"Marry me!" He hugged her passionately.
At this moment, the two people who were talking about their eternal vows did not know that there was another wonderful conversation in the pavilion not far away.
"You peeping Tom!" Zhangsun Yingying shouted.
" Are you trying to scare me to death?" Yu Xiang turned around in surprise.
"Why are you acting so sneakily when he's in love?”Zhang Zhiliang asked.
"What does it have to do with you? If you're afraid of being seen, don't get entangled in broad daylight.”
As she spoke, Zhangsun Yingying and Zhang Zhiliang carried Yu Xiang from the left and right as they walked forward.
" You want to kidnap me?" Yu Xiang shouted.
"Keep your voice down. We plan to introduce you to a lover to distract you.”Zhang Zhiliang chuckled.
"I don't want any ordinary people. I don't want any fat people. I don't want any ordinary-looking people…"
"Hah! Hah! The conditions you mentioned…all of them.”Zhangsun Yingying was extremely happy.
" Help…I don't want to…" Yu Xiang cried.
Zhang Zhiliang and Zhangsun Yingying laughed.#
