Chu Jingli was truly worthy of being Xuan Yue's great general. He always kept the safety of the Emperor in his heart. He then brought his wife and subordinates to the journey to find the Emperor Empress.
It was inconvenient to have more people. Only the two of them accompanied him like a shadow.
This was the first time Wang Jingrou had gone with her husband. She was very excited, but since it wasn't child's play to find the emperor, she could only bury her excitement in her heart and follow them silently.
Ever since he let go of the grudges in his heart, Wang Jing Rou and he became as close as sisters. The two of them often got together to discuss Chu Jingli's strengths and weaknesses.
That night, the couple lied on the bed, while Wang Jing Rou couldn't sleep. She had something on, but she didn't know if she should speak.
Chu Jingli was very shrewd. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
He didn't want to make her sick from holding back. Husband and wife should have spoken frankly to each other.
Wang Jing Rou put her hand on his stomach and said softly, "How about, you keep Ru Ying."
She understood what Ruo Ying was thinking about her husband. Although it was hard for her to accept before, since no woman was willing to be together with another woman, but after spending a long time with Ruo Ying, she found out that she really was a good girl.
Compared to a shadow, he did not know martial arts, and was not generous enough. Without Chu Jingli's Heroic Bone Pill, if there was an accident that happened to him one day, it would be good if there was someone close to him.
Actually, she shouldn't have had such thoughts. It was only after the last battle that she realized she might become a hindrance to him, a burden to him. Therefore, if necessary in the future, she would definitely not hold him back.
Chu Jingli coldly said, "Don't speak nonsense."
He only saw Shadow as his sister, but he only felt guilt towards his wife. He had already hurt one woman, so he wouldn't hurt another.
"This is not nonsense. Jingli, listen to me, I …"
"Stop talking and go to sleep." Chu Jingli turned over and closed his eyes.
A woman always likes to think about things. She would share the most important things with others on the spur of the moment, and when it happened, she would regret it. He didn't want to see her suffering in the future.
Wang Jing Rou felt helpless and could only give up.
Deep in his heart, he was still somewhat moved. After all, he had stuck to his loyalty.
There was no war now, and they were outside, not at the General's Estate, but like a wild horse on its way to a brothel to drink and drink.
When the girls in the brothel saw that he was handsome, and saw that he had money, they rushed to curry favor with him, and thus became the most popular people in Fragrance Garden.
However, he had a high opinion of her. Ordinary girls really didn't enter his eyes.
The old procuress had no choice but to use her trump card, her own daughter, Meng Fan.
"Meng Fan, serve him well. You won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. You won't have to watch your mother do this kind of business that won't make you proud."
Meng Fan was a man of honor and honor. She had always been very upset, why did other people's parents have their fair and proper jobs, while her mother only had a brothel?
Eventually, she realized that she had lost her father when she was young. It was her mother who had toiled and toiled to raise her. Regardless of whether or not the money came clean, it was all because of her mother's love.
As such, she listened to her mother's words very well, not showing her face and becoming a holy lotus in the mud.
Now, her mother had told her that if she took down the man downstairs, she would be able to escape the pain and suffering and not have to live the life she had been ridiculed for.
When she was young, her mother used all the silver she had saved to send her to private school. When the teacher heard that she was the bawd's child, he refused to accept her, afraid that she would bring harm to other children.
Her mother cried for three days and three nights, and in the end she had to stay in her room and be taught by a girl who could read.
She could not be respected nor could she feel the warmth from anyone other than her mother. The only way out for her was to stay aloof and guard her own worth.
When he first saw her, he was indeed attracted to her. The aura she exuded was not something that other girls could compare with.
He took out ten thousand taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the bawd's hands before heading upstairs.
In the room, Meng Fan poured wine for him.
"I heard you're Chun Niang's daughter." He asked casually.
Meng Fan smiled bitterly, "Is it important whose daughter is it?" Since I was born in this place, I can only use my looks to find a way out. "
Strangely, instead of being proud of him, she was frank and did not hide it.
"This place is remote and backwater. I have indeed wronged you. If you were in the Imperial Capital, you would have probably become the wife and concubine of some great noble." After drinking a cup of wine like a shadow, he slowly spoke.
It was no wonder why the old procuress would offer up her only daughter the moment she saw him. It was because very few people would be as generous as him.
"This is all fate, there's no need for Young Master to say anything more." Meng Fan put down his wine pot and turned around to walk towards the embroidery bed. He undressed and untied the cloth. Ten thousand taels of silver was worth ten thousand taels of silver.
The man in black sneered, "It seems that lady has misunderstood. I have really come here just for the sake of drinking. Nothing else."
"Young master, why are you joking?" Meng Fan wasn't surprised, but a man wouldn't come here just for the sake of drinking. Unless … Unless he was a eunuch?
As she thought of this, she started to feel surprised. She looked at him closely and felt that something was wrong. His manliness was not something that a eunuch should have.
"I'm not joking." "Drinking alone is too boring. I'm afraid of being alone, so I need someone to accompany me. The women in the family won't care about me, so I can only come to this place. That's my reason."
He spoke a bit faster, but his voice was loud and clear, not like a villain's voice.
Meng Fan smiled. "If Young Master only wants someone to accompany you for a drink, why did you look for me at such a high price?" The girls downstairs have much better alcohol tolerance than me. "
She had never believed that there could be such a strange man in the world.
Yet, this was exactly the kind of person he was.
"Beautiful things can always make people happy. I only spent money just to enjoy a beauty." She stood up and helped her put on her outer robe. "Dress properly, that's the most beautiful moment."
After saying that, he pulled her hand and sat down at the table. "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's drink."
Meng Fan was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding his head.
Today, they finally met a strange person.
The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in bed, fully dressed and intact.
She had drunk too much last night and fainted on the table.
Maybe he was a gentleman, she thought.
The old procuress came in and smiled, "Meng Fan, why did you get up so early? That young noble gave you another ten thousand taels of silver when he left last night. Here, take this."
Meng Fan didn't care about the amount of banknotes, he only asked with concern, "When did he leave?"
"About... About the time it was ugly. " The bawd recalled.
Meng Fan nodded slightly. When she was ugly, it was not long after she fainted.
