  Chapter 16: The Cost

  (Subscribe)

  Zhu Yuheng's heart was burning with anxiety as he wanted to find Zhu Yuhuan, but in his anger, he couldn't think of where he could have gone. He wandered around the courtyard for a while, and then saw that the nuns were looking at him with strange eyes. Only then did he react, realizing that his hair was disheveled and his long shirt wasn't even tied at the waist. He hastily washed up and dressed properly.

  While washing his face, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Yuhuan might be accompanying Liu Niang to listen to the scriptures, so he came to the main hall and saw that among the people sitting there was indeed Zhu Yuhuan. He immediately walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

  Zhu Yuhuan turned his head and said in a low voice, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there..."

  Zhu Yichan had already reached out and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him up slightly, saying in a low voice "Come out quickly" with an unprecedented severity.

  Zhu Yuhuan was stunned, and could only stand up. Even Liu Niang beside him was startled, turning his head to look, Zhu Yuhuan quickly put on a smiling face, nodding his head and saying in a soft voice that there was something urgent...

  Liu Yiniang hastily nodded, smiling as she watched Zhu Yuhuan get up with a complaining expression and follow the ill-tempered Zhu Yuanchen out. Liu Yiniang was extremely satisfied with this future for Zhu Yuanchen. Only after watching them leave did she turn back around, still smiling.

  Zhu Yuhuan was dragged away, only then did he express his discontent loudly. "What's the hurry? There's still a bit more to go, can't I finish listening with Aunt?"

  Zhu Yichan didn't make a sound, pulling him all the way out, walking out of the temple gate, and stopping only when they reached a deserted mountain path.

  Zhu Yuhuan looked at his pale face and asked, "Has something big happened? Why are you so upset?"

  "Who does the old lady of the Chu family want to marry Qianxiang to?"

  Zhu Yuhuan's face suddenly became serious, "Who is it?"

  "Xue E", Zhu Yuchen said viciously.

  Zhu Yan Huan was taken aback for a moment and suddenly couldn't think of who Xue E was.

  "Is there another one? Huaiyuan Xue's family..."

  Zhu Yuhuan woke up with a start and immediately jumped three feet high, furiously cursing the damned old hag for wanting to marry her off to whom?

  Zhu Yichan turned his head to look at the distant mountains, his eyes fierce and cold as he said, "If you insist on being stubborn, old lady, I'll kill Xue E."

  "What did Keitei tell you?"

  As soon as Zhu Yuhuan asked this, the ferocity on Zhu Yu's face disappeared, and he immediately turned his head to interrogate him, "Where did you go this morning?"

  Zhu Yuhuan was stunned... wasn't it just now that you called me out from the main hall? Who told you to ask about Ke'er?

  Zhu Yichen lowered his head in a dejected manner, but it wasn't because of that. It was because Qie Xi's maid... Qie Xi is angry with me...

  "Angry? Why?"

  "Why didn't you wake me up this morning? And why is the door still open from yesterday's escort?" Zhu Yichen thought about it again and got angry, raised his head and questioned him, with both fists clenched tightly. If he hadn't considered that he was going to be his future brother-in-law, he would have punched him already.

  Zhū Yì Huàn said strangely: "I'm going to listen to the scriptures, it's already started at 4 am... why get up so early? Are you also going to listen to the scriptures?"

  "What about the guards who followed?"

  "I've sent him to find a house......has he?"

  "Why didn't you close the door?"

  "Did I close the door? I didn't, did I?" Zhu Yuhuan thought for a moment, seemingly having forgotten. "Does it matter whether the door is closed or not? It's not like we're sleeping in the main hall, and besides, can't get frostbite from that. Moreover, as a grown man, are you afraid someone will barge in?"

  Zhu Yichen's face was red with rage, his fists waving in front of Zhu Yihuan's eyes several times. Zhu Yihuan subconsciously leaned back and dodged, "Is someone really breaking in?... If not, then stop nonsense and hurry up to discuss the matter of Old Lady Ke's family."

  Zhu Yicheng's angry voice opened the door, and someone went in. I woke up early in the morning and came out to see Lan Cixi sitting in the main room.

  Zhu Yuhuan jumped up like a frog and shouted loudly, "This girl has no shame? She dares to barge into a man's room?"

  She said there was no one inside, opened the door thinking it was empty, and went in to sit down.

  "Listen to her fart and rush out immediately"

  "I told her to leave, but she insisted on having something to say. When I went to open the door and was about to throw her out, that's when... that's when I saw Qie standing at the door." Zhu Yichen glared at Zhu Yuhuan with a livid face, "I've been wronged! Qie didn't listen to me at all, she completely ignored me, it's infuriating!"

  Zhu Yuhuan exclaimed "Ah", scratching his head and saying "It's that serious...... or should I go help persuade him?"

  "Of course I have to help you say no, otherwise this kind of thing won't happen"

  Zhu Yi Huan raised his hand and said "Wait a minute" He looked at Zhu Yi Chen suspiciously, wondering if he really had nothing to do with that blue girl. I walked so far...

  Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yichen threw a punch. Zhu Yuheng didn't have time to dodge and could only watch as the fist hurtled towards his nose before suddenly stopping just short of his nose tip. Zhu Yichen's face turned green with rage as he appeared in front of him, saying "You're still not satisfied with the chaos you've caused? I'm really angry now!"

  Zhu Yuhuan saw that he was really anxious, his anger was getting the better of him, and he was saying some irrelevant things. He might even get into a fight if he didn't back down. So he put aside his questions, patted his shoulder seriously, and said "Alright, big uncle will help".

  Zhu Yichen's bellyful of anger was finally soothed by 'Big Brother-in-law', and he put away his violent temper, becoming worried and unhappy... but it seemed not too easy to do so. I think that Keqi's temper is not too good at being persuaded..."

  "I'm her brother, she has to listen to me," Zhu Yuhuan said. Besides, I told you yesterday that we need to clarify the matter of the girl with the surname Lan as soon as possible. Look now, something has indeed happened, right? Not a single word is wrong."

  "Zhu Yichan's impatient wave of his hand I've already made it clear if you still come to find me, then it won't be..."

  "Isn't it? Haven't you all been deceived?"

  "You're no longer human!" Zhu Yichen exclaimed in anger.

  Zhu Yuhuan thought for a moment, didn't Zhu Yuzhen tell others about it? It's actually that serious? But as long as they don't bother me again, who cares? He stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Yuzhen away, "Let's go find Keqi."

  "She's hiding in the house and won't come out." Zhu Yichen said helplessly, "Those women are staring at me, I also can't go in."

  "We can't hide forever, we have to come out eventually. Besides, Xue E's matter still needs to be discussed with us, yesterday she might have wanted to talk about it, but that vicious woman interfered."

  Zhu Yuhuan was about to persuade Zhu Yuheng, just as the nun's room had prepared lunch. The maids and servants from each yard went to the kitchen to fetch food. Zhu Yuhuan saw Bai Guo's maid and hurriedly followed her to ask: "Is Miss in the house? Has Auntie given birth yet? Is Miss still angry?"

  "After shaking her head and calling her aunt, the girl was no longer angry, and she chatted and laughed with her aunt, saying that she would accompany her to listen to the Buddhist scriptures today."

  Jiuyi Chen's eyes lit up as he listened from the side, and he immediately became delighted. As long as it comes out, it's all good...

  After noon, Mrs. Liu rested for a while and got up to attend the noon lesson again. She saw that Chu Xianggui had just come out and hurriedly smiled: "Miss, are you going too?"

  "Hmm, seeing Auntie being so sincere, I'd like to go and listen too."

  Madam Liu smiled and said, "Go listen to it too. It's just that sitting for a long time makes my legs numb and uncomfortable. I'll call the maidservants to follow me, and when my legs are numb, I'll have them massage them."

  Chu Ke smiled and nodded, she didn't need to instruct them, Qing Guo and Jing Er would follow anyway.

  Men Sheng lay on the windowsill, watching Jing Er following closely behind, and felt at ease. He then got down, had his meal and thought of taking a nap. This life was quite comfortable, no need to attend to Old Lady...

  Won't someone take advantage of her absence and try to curry favor with the old lady to grab her position? That rich family's kid was a real troublemaker, luckily something happened and he got beaten to death...

  Chu Ke and Liu Niang had just come out and walked to the gate of the main hall when they met Zhu Yuhuan and Zhu Yuchen who were coming towards them. Seeing them, Zhu Yuchen couldn't help but run ahead and shout "Ke!"

  Chu Ke's face sank and he didn't respond to him. Instead, Liu Niang smiled and asked, "Second Master, are you also here to listen to the scriptures?"

  Zhu Yicheng was gazing at Chu Ke's face, and only turned around to respectfully say "Auntie, you can just call me Yicheng. There are no outsiders here... I came looking for Ke."

  Liu Yiniang let out a soft "oh" and looked at Chu Keqi with some surprise, her eyes filled with anger. She spoke softly, "Keqi?"

  Chu Xue didn't even have time to respond, when Zhu Ye Huan already finished speaking, and with a smile, patted Chu Xue's shoulder, "Go listen for yourself..."

  Chu Xue looked at him and said, "I'm here with the bridesmaid to listen to the scriptures. If you say anything else, I'll leave."

  "I also have something to say... won't you listen to me either?" Zhu Yuhuan raised an eyebrow and said.

  Chu Xue couldn't say anything more and stomped her foot in anger.

  Liu Yiniang looked at them with a mixture of surprise and suspicion. "What's going on?" She then turned to Zhu Yuxuan, who seemed like an outsider in comparison.

  Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said to her, "Auntie, you go in and listen to the scriptures. We have something to discuss with Ke'ai... It's just that those women didn't follow up this time."

  Liu Yiniang murmured an "oh" in a daze, seeing Zhu Yuxuan already stretch out his hand to pull San Guniang towards the door of the hut. San Guniang shook him off with force and walked away on her own.

  As soon as Zhu Yuhuan came out of the hut, he saw that not far away from the small path, Zhu Yuanchen and Chu Keqi were talking together, with two maidservants standing far apart.

  He hurriedly ran over and heard Zhu Yuheng say, "Just in time, Huan has arrived. Ask him if he got up early this morning and left without closing the door?"

  Zhu Yuhuan walked up, smiling at Chu Keqi and said: "It was really a misunderstanding this morning. I went out of the door at noon, and when I left, I took another look at this kid, who was sleeping soundly, with no one else by his side..."

  He was punched by Zhu Yichen, took a step back, and smiled again, saying "I forgot to close the door when I left... Two big men live inside, who can think of closing the door at any time?" This sentence is said to Zhu Yichen.

  "Ke'er, did you hear that?" Zhu Yichen hastily said. It was him who didn't close the door, I was sleeping in the inner room, and at that time Lan Zixi came into the house without me knowing, thinking there was no one inside, sitting and waiting for me, with something to say... I got out of bed and saw her, and quickly told her to leave. When I went to open the door, I saw it."

  He finished speaking nervously and looked at Chu Kei with a wronged expression.

  Chu Xue raised an eyebrow and blinked, suddenly understanding. So that's how it was... But she still felt annoyed, her small mouth pursed tightly shut.

  Zhu Yuheng looked at her still angry appearance, anxious and couldn't help but say "Qie Xi, aren't you... I really didn't lie"

  Zhu Yuhuan looked at him, his hands and feet were in a hurry, but he couldn't touch Chu Keqian lightly, and he wanted to be anxious but didn't dare to be anxious. The impatient Keqian said, "Believe it or not, let's just say something! Our family's old lady has already agreed to marry Xue E, we don't have time to quarrel now, this matter must be discussed urgently, and absolutely cannot marry him."

  Chu Xue was surprised and finally spoke up, "Brother?"

  "I heard it from Yu Zhen," said Zhu Yuhuan. "Yu Zhen heard it from the maid."

  "This time it's Chu Ke's turn to hang her head in shame. I rushed out too, also wanting to discuss this matter..."

  "That Xue E must not marry is not a good thing" Zhu Yuhuan said angrily. "Chu Lao Tai Tai is simply not human."

  Chu Ke looked up at the angry Zhu Yi Huan, and it was clear that Xue E was not pleasant to see, making his brother so angry... She finally turned her head to look at Zhu Yi Chen, who pursed his thin lips, looking serious, with a pale face without any blood color, and his black eyes flashing with a strange light.

  "What's wrong with him?" she couldn't help but ask.

  Zhū Yè Chén suddenly grabbed her hand and asked, "What's the meaning of this?" In short, absolutely, absolutely cannot get involved with that scoundrel. No need to ask why, just can't marry him."

  Chu Xue's hand was grabbed by him and it hurt so much that she slightly frowned and loosened her grip.

  "Still won't let me?" Zhu Yichen's voice was somewhat irritated.

  Chu Xue's face suddenly turned red with rage, glaring at him.

  "Zhu Yi Huan hurriedly mediated, 'What's the point of arguing? Hurry up and let's discuss how to handle this. That old lady is not easy to deal with, who knows if she has already spoken to our family's elderly master and he has agreed? Who can stop it then?'"

  Zhu Yichan was also anxious when he heard this, pursed his lips and lowered his head.

  Chu Ke's mood couldn't be better for half a day. This morning, she was furious and stormed around the house, finally calming down a bit. She took a deep breath and thought to herself: Could Zhu Yi Chen really be the same kind of person as Zhu Yi Zhen?

  She thought from the moment she saw Zhu Yuchen for the first time, at that time Zhu Yuchen was meticulous and thoughtful in every way, coming to rescue her without hiding his identity in the county prince's mansion, always thinking of ways to help her escape, cunningly calculating with a sinister heart, never having treated anyone like this before.

  She admitted that even if it was the previous Zhu Yuchen's attitude towards Chu Keqi, she didn't mind, but just because of this period of getting along, Zhu Yuchen is absolutely not a person like Zhu Yuchen.

  It's clear now, I followed Liu Niang out to listen to the scriptures, also in order to have a chance to give Zhu Yuxuan an explanation. Now... although the explanation is clear, but my heart feels even more uncomfortable...

  Zhu Yicheng's questioning made her very uncomfortable, she... didn't remember things from before, really hadn't done it once with him, what was the explanation for this? (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Starting Point website, your support is my greatest motivation.)
