Du Yinqiu's appearance had thrown a huge variable into the relationship between Zhong Yufei and Yao Yueru, who were still at the starting point.
Du Yinqiu's appearance was like Yang Yan's resurrection to Zhong Yufei. It gave him a feeling of rebirth.
Ever since Zhong Yufei lost Yang Yan, he had also lost himself. In the past three years, he was not the complete Zhong Yufei. Yang Yan was dead, which meant that half of his men were dead. The remaining half was him.
Even though he had accepted Yao Yueru, he still couldn't completely return to his old self. After all, Yao Yueru wasn't Yang Yan, and his love for Yang Yan couldn't be transferred to her. To him, his feelings for Yang Yan and Yao Yueru were different. It was not a matter of which was lighter or heavier. In other words, his feelings for Yao Yueru were different from his feelings for Yang Yan, and Yao Yueru couldn't replace Yang Yan.
However, he never thought of it as a problem between him and Yao Yueru because he knew from the beginning that Yao Yueru and Yang Yan were different people.
However, Du Yinqiu was different! She looked almost identical to Yang Yan. Perhaps it was because he missed Yang Yan too much that he could not see them as two people. Every time he saw Du Yinqiu, he had the illusion that Yang Yan had come back from the dead. Being together with Du Yinqiu had brought him back to the time when he was with Yang Yan. Time had really turned back for him!
Without the ability to resist at all, Zhong Yufei sank deeply. Right now, he couldn't tell who his love was. His heart was divided into two halves, one half for Yao Yueru and the other half for Du Yinqiu.
There was no doubt that he loved Yao Yueru. However, he was deeply lost because he did not know whether he loved Du Yinqiu or not. Was his feelings for Du Yinqiu just a transference? Or did he really like her?
He was not two-timing, nor was he a playboy. He was at a loss and did not know his true feelings. He knew that he was letting Yao Yueru down, but he couldn't help but be attracted to Du Yinqiu. He wanted to see her every day and look for Yang Yan's shadow in her.
However, Yao Yueru was the last person to know about Zhong Yufei and Du Yinqiu.
Zhong Yufei left early and returned late every day these days. He had very little time to accompany her. Sometimes, he wouldn't even see her for a few days.
She thought that Zhong Yufei must have something to do, so she didn't ask him. In fact, she also realized that something was wrong. Although Zhong Yufei was still very good to her, something was missing. It was as if they had returned to three years ago. His gentleness had become illusory, and she could not touch or grasp it.
If it wasn't for a servant girl named Lu Shui who pitied her and told her about this, she, who completely trusted Zhong Yufei, would have continued to be kept in the dark.
"Yueru, why aren't you taking any action?" Lu Shui suddenly ran over and said to Yao Yueru.
"What do you mean no action?" Yao Yueru was baffled.
"And you're asking me what operation?" Lu Shui shook his head and sighed. "Please don't trust others so much, okay? I think you're the only one in the entire residence who doesn't know. You even cherish Eldest Young Master like a treasure!”
Lu Shui and Yao Yueru had a good relationship. Although Yao Yueru had kept her relationship with Zhong Yufei a secret and had never mentioned it to a third person, there was always a slip of the tongue. In any case, Lu Shui knew that Yao Yueru and Zhong Yufei were together.
It was because she knew about Yao Yueru's relationship with the Eldest Young Master that she had to tell her about it. She couldn't bear to see the innocent Yao Yueru suffer a loss without knowing about it.
"I'll tell you everything I know.”Lu Shui had an expression of going all out. "About a month ago, Madam Zhong introduced General Du's daughter, Du Yinqiu, to the Eldest Young Master. I heard that Du Yinqiu looks very much like Miss Yang Yanbiao. The Eldest Young Master is completely infatuated with her. He goes to General Du's residence to look for her every day. I heard that the two of them are very good. Now everyone knows about this matter. Only a fool like you is still in the dark.”
Yao Yueru's face instantly lost all color. Her eyes were unfocused as she said weakly,""How could this happen? Impossible, I don't believe it!"
"You don't believe me!" Lvshui said angrily. Alright, I heard that Master and Furen are inviting Du Yinqiu to the residence as a guest tomorrow night. I will bring you to see. Seeing is believing. I will let you see with your own eyes how your Eldest Young Master treats you!”
Everything was just as Lu Shui had said. The hall had been specially decorated. The lights inside lit up the hall as if it was daytime. Laughter kept coming from inside. It was a harmonious and harmonious house.
Yao Yueru was dragged under the window by Lu Shui.
"Let me take a look first." Lu Shui stretched her neck and looked through the window. Then, she tugged at Yao Yueru's sleeve and whispered,"She's really here. Come up and take a look!”
Yao Yueru forgot how to breathe at this moment. She stood up uneasily and mustered up her courage to look inside.
In that instant, she felt as if she couldn't breathe.
How could this be? Did she see wrongly? The living Yang Yan, the Sister Yan that she respected and admired the most, was still alive. Heavens, what was going on?
She couldn't help but scream, then staggered backward.
Yao Yueru's scream attracted the attention of everyone in the room. The first person to chase after her was none other than Zhong Yufei.
"Yueru?" When he saw Yao Yueru, Zhong Yufei's expression was even uglier than hers.
Yao Yueru didn't look at him. She turned around and ran.
"Yue Ru!" Zhong Yufei flew forward and quickly blocked her path.
He grabbed her wrist." Yueru, listen to me!”
"Let me go!" Yao Yueru's face was already covered in tears. She turned her face and cried.
Zhong Yufei refused to let go of her. "No, you have to listen to my explanation!”
"There's nothing to explain." She looked at him sadly. "I saw it. That person looks very much like Sister Yan. You're in love with her, aren't you?”
Zhong Yufei saw her sadness and pain in his eyes. He said in pain,"What if I say no?"
"I don't believe it!" Yao Yueru looked at him with teary eyes. "You love Sister Yan so much. How can you not be tempted by someone who looks so similar to Sister Yan?”
Zhong Yufei's heart was filled with guilt and apology towards Yao Yueru. He pressed Yao Yueru's shoulder and shouted excitedly,""I admit that I'm tempted, but it doesn't mean anything, right? I used to love Yan 'er, but now it's you. As for her…she's like Yan' er's shadow to me. I can't help but pay attention to her. Looking at her is like looking at Yan 'er.”
"You're treating her as Sister Yan's substitute?”
Zhong Yufei did not deny it. He sighed." It should be! To be honest, my heart is in a mess now. I know I've let you down, but I just had to do something that made you sad. Yue Ru, forgive me. Forgive me for being lost!”
"So what if I forgive you?”Yao Yueru shook her head as tears rolled down her face. "You said you love me? You have someone else in your heart, and you still say that you love me? I'm no longer the fifteen-year-old Yue Ru who doesn't know anything. Do you think I can still give my heart to you?”
Zhong Yufei pulled her into his arms and hugged her struggling body tightly. "Yueru, don't be like this! In the past, you could accept me as someone who loved Yang Yan. Why can't you accept me as someone who loves Yang Yan now?”
Yao Yueru struggled and shouted,""This is different! I can accept you as someone who loves Sister Yan, but I can't accept you as someone who loves someone other than Sister Yan.”
"Why? Why?" Zhong Yufei, who could not accept her explanation, asked her again and again,"You're the one who understands my feelings for Yan 'er the most, aren't you? I didn't betray Yan 'er. If I didn't love her so deeply, I wouldn't have been attracted to Du Yinqiu. You should understand me, right?”
"Yes, I understand you." Yao Yueru looked at him calmly and said slowly,""That's why I've decided to withdraw and help you and Du Yinqiu.”
Zhong Yufei couldn't believe what he heard. He stared at Yao Yueru with his eyes wide open and said through his teeth,""Is what you said true?"
Yao Yueru turned her face away and nodded in pain. "I've never been your favorite. You don't have to worry about me. Let go and love the person you think you should love!”
Zhong Yufei's mind buzzed. Every word Yao Yueru said was pounding heavily on his heart.
It seemed like he was overthinking things! It turned out that his importance in Yue Ru's heart was only so-so. She had given him up to someone else so easily, so easily…
His heart ached. It had been a long time since he had felt his heart break. Ever since Yang Yan's death, he had thought that his heart was dead. He did not expect that his heart would still ache for a woman who could easily give him up to another woman.
"Don't worry, I'll do as you say. Are you satisfied now?”Zhong Yufei left her angrily.
Yao Yueru stood there motionlessly. The cold wind blew mercilessly on her body, quietly blowing away the tears on her face.
Five days later, in the afternoon, the chief steward of the Zhong Residence went to Yao Yueru's place and told her that a man named Tu Haoxin was looking for her. The chief steward asked her if she knew this man.
When Yao Yueru heard the name Tu Haoxin, she felt that it was both familiar and unfamiliar. She seemed to have heard of it before, but she also felt that she had never heard of it before.
Seeing that she seemed to be thinking, the manager described Tu Haoxin's appearance to her. "The man was tall and dark, and the most special thing about him was his eyes. He had a big, flat face with eyes smaller than beans.”
Little Bean? "It's Little Bean!" Yao Yueru shouted.”Right, Little Bean was Tu Haoxin, and Tu Haoxin was Little Bean!
Thinking of Little Bean, she ran to the front yard as fast as she could. She had actually forgotten about Little Bean. If Little Bean knew that she had forgotten his real name, he would definitely be very angry.
When Yao Yueru rushed to the front yard, she saw a man standing there with his back facing her. His back was so wide and huge.
"Little Bean!" Yao Yueru shouted excitedly.
"Crescent Moon?" Tu Haoxin, who had grown taller and stronger, turned around and rushed straight at Yao Yueru. "You are Crescent Moon? Oh my god, you've become so beautiful!”He was also excited.
"You're so tall and darker.”Yao Yueru grabbed Little Bean's hand excitedly. She was so happy to be able to reunite with Little Bean that she temporarily forgot the fact that she had lost Zhong Yufei.
"I finally found you!" Tu Haoxin's bean-like eyes were wet. "After you left without saying goodbye that day, I looked everywhere for you. I searched all the villages and towns nearby, but I couldn't find you. " I didn't give up. I've been asking around for news about you all these years. Half a year ago, I finally convinced my parents to let me come to Chang 'an to look for you. I used the stupidest method to ask from house to house. I asked hundreds of houses. Finally, God has eyes and allowed me to find you today!”
"Little Bean!" Yao Yueru was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. "You actually looked for me for so many years…I'm sorry, I didn't even know that I've caused you to suffer.”
"What are you saying? Aren't we good friends?" Tu Haoxin patted her little face, just like when she was young. "By the way, why didn't you go to your aunt?”
" Hmm…" Yao Yueru didn't know how to explain her relationship with the Zhong Residence. It couldn't be explained in a few words.
"Little Bean, you can stay here tonight! It's rare for you to come to Chang 'an, so I have to treat you well as a host.”Yao Yueru changed the topic.
"Alright!" Tu Haoxin revealed his white teeth. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must catch up.”
"You also know how to say things like catching up?”Yao Yueru joked,"You seem to have become more knowledgeable!"”
Tu Haoxin scratched his head in embarrassment. "Don't make fun of me! You clearly know that I want to sleep whenever I see a book. How can a person who finds it difficult to write his own name have any bullsh * t knowledge? If word gets out, I'll die of laughter!"
" Haha!" Yao Yueru burst into laughter.
Just like before, she was always happy when she was with Little Bean. She hoped that Little Bean could stay for a few more days. That way, she could forget about her troubles and sadness and live happily for a few days.
Yao Yueru helped Tu Haoxin prepare a sumptuous meal. Under the candlelight, the two of them ate and drank happily.
"Rich people eat and drink different things. I've never eaten such delicious food and wine. I'm so happy!”Tu Haoxin was eating, drinking, and talking. His mouth was very busy!
"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll get more.”Yao Yueru smiled as she watched him eat. She felt as if she had become several years younger.
"Enough, enough!" he said incoherently. "Crescent Moon, you're doing quite well here. No wonder you don't want to go look for your aunt.”
"Yes, I am!"
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
"Plans?" Yao Yueru smiled. "What other plans can I have? There's food and accommodation here. I think it's pretty good.”
Tu Haoxin swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at her.""Aren't you going back with me?"
Yao Yueru was stunned. "Go back with you? Little Bean, you…"
"I hope you can come with me." Tu Haoxin's expression was serious. "Can you come back with me? Crescent Moon."
Yao Yueru glanced at him and didn't speak for a long time.
Tu Haoxin was anxious. "Crescent Moon!"
"I'm sorry, Little Bean. I can't go back with you." Yao Yueru shook her head gently.”
"Why?" Tu Haoxin grabbed Yao Yueru's hand on the table and shouted,""Do you know how hard I've been looking for you? All these years, I haven't forgotten you for a single day. To you, I…"
"Little Bean!" Yao Yueru looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry. I know you're good to me, but I just can't leave this place.”
Even if Zhong Yufei did not care about her now and treated her as a stranger, her feelings for him were still the same. They had never changed.
There were a few times when she thought of leaving this place, but when this thought appeared in her mind, she would think of Zhong Yufei and Yang Yan.
She was really willing to help Zhong Yufei and Du Yinqiu, but helping them was one thing, and she couldn't give up her feelings for Zhong Yufei.
Right now, she was in a dilemma. She could not stay or leave.
Both Yao Yueru and Tu Haoxin remained silent. He observed her quietly.
Don't judge him by his brawny appearance. In fact, he also had a meticulous side.
Yao Yueru's troubled eyes told him that she had something on her mind. This thing that she didn't want him to know made him instinctively think that it might have something to do with another man.
She thought that perhaps Crescent Moon 'er had found someone she liked here, and it was precisely because of that person that she was unwilling to leave with him.
If that was really the case, then he had to take action.
He wanted her to go back with him. This was his greatest wish in his life. He had to make it come true!
"Crescent Moon." He said to her gently," I've thought about it. You've been here for four years. It would be too difficult for you to leave immediately." I think this is good. If possible, can you introduce me to work here? I'm strong and can endure hardships. This shouldn't be difficult, right?”
"You want to work in the Zhong Residence?" Yao Yueru shouted in surprise.”
"That's right!" "Just help me this once, okay?" Tu Haoxin begged.”
Yao Yueru looked at him blankly. How could she say that she wasn't good?
Because of Yao Yueru and Tu Haoxin's superior qualifications, he successfully became a servant of the Zhong Residence the next day.
Tu Haoxin was amused! He could earn money and stay by Yao Yueru's side. If he had known that there would be such a good thing, he would have come to Chang 'an a few years earlier.
Of course, Yao Yueru was happy that Little Bean was working under the same roof as her. With Little Bean by her side, she could ease the pain of losing Zhong Yufei.
Right now, she was completely focused on Little Bean. She was responsible for teaching Little Bean what she didn't understand. Sometimes, she would also help Little Bean with some simple things. After work, if she had time, she would bring him around. This kind of life was quite fun.
"Little Bean, what do you think I brought you?”Yao Yueru carried a bamboo basket to Little Bean, who was chopping wood.
Tu Haoxin put down his axe and said with a smile,""Let me guess, is it my favorite walnut cake?”
Yao Yueru shook her head playfully. "It's my second favorite."
"It's almond crisp, right?"
"Correct!" Yao Yueru took out an almond pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. "Here, your reward."
"It's so delicious!" Tu Haoxin was overjoyed. The crescent moon was feeding him!
"Look at you. You're sweating all over." Yao Yueru took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Little Bean's forehead.
"The relationship between the two of you is really good. As expected of childhood playmates who grew up together.”
It was Zhong Yufei's voice! Yao Yueru suddenly turned around. When she saw Zhong Yufei, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes were filled with passion. She was about to cry!
He was finally willing to see her! Ever since the two of them parted on bad terms that night, Zhong Yufei had heartlessly expelled her from his life. His heartlessness had ruthlessly broken her heart. If Little Bean didn't distract her from Zhong Yufei, she didn't know if she could break free from the pain he brought her.
At this moment, she was touched and excited. What about Zhong Yufei?
He didn't look touched at all, but he was excited.
Other than excitement, there was even more anger.
He was angry because he saw Yue Ru flirting with another man in his line of sight and did not take him seriously. He was furious because Yue Ru had completely ignored his existence. She did not look for him or talk to him. He was furious because Yue Ru had taken his words seriously. She did not even care about his departure and did not even intend to take him back. He was angry because he realized that he was still in love with this woman in front of him. Just seeing her talking to another man made him want to kill this man immediately.
However, what infuriated him the most was that Yue Ru ignored him, but he couldn't stop thinking about her all the time. He missed her more than he missed Yang Yan.
Tu Haoxin felt the strange atmosphere between Yao Yueru and Zhong Yufei. He had seen this person before and knew that he was the eldest young master of the Zhong Residence, Zhong Yufei. Could it be that the person Crescent Moon liked was Zhong Yufei?
Long time no see, Yueru." Zhong Yufei's gaze locked onto Yao Yueru's face. "Looks like you've been doing well recently. You look very happy.”
It was not easy to see Zhong Yufei, but what she heard was his sarcastic words. Yao Yueru endured the pain in her chest and said reluctantly,""Thank you for your concern, Eldest Young Master. Yueru is indeed very happy. You don't have to worry about her.”
Calling him Young Master again? Zhong Yufei's unhappiness was obvious on his face.
Tu Haoxin couldn't help but ask Yao Yueru.
"Crescent Moon, what exactly is going on between you and this Eldest Young Master?”
"Little Bean, don't worry.”
One called " Crescent Moon," and the other called " Little Bean." The intimate relationship between the two made Zhong Yufei even angrier. If he kept silent, would he still be a man?
"Come with me!" he shouted.”After saying that, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yao Yueru.
"What are you doing?" Tu Haoxin immediately flew into a rage.
Zhong Yufei grabbed Yao Yueru's hand, and Tu Haoxin's hand also held Zhong Yufei's hand.
Yao Yueru anxiously shouted at Tu Haoxin,""Little Bean, let go!"
Tu Haoxin widened his eyes in disbelief. "Crescent Moon, he's grabbing you!"
"I told you to let go!"
Yao Yueru's anxious expression finally made Tu Haoxin let go of her.
Zhong Yufei's expression became even uglier. The two of them were openly flirting with each other in front of him. He felt that he had been completely excluded from Yao Yueru's world.
"Let's go!" He couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Yao Yueru and left.
Tu Haoxin wanted to chase after him to stop him, but he stopped when he saw Yao Yueru's sad eyes.
"Crescent Moon." Although he felt extremely uneasy, he could only watch helplessly as she was taken away by Zhong Yufei.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:50AM
