Chapter 193: The years are good, year after year, age after age, all is well

~8 min read 1,468 words

What's the point of staying up late to eavesdrop on others instead of sleeping?

Is that right?

Is that really correct?

Du Shanü was bewildered, and facts proved that the things that bewildered her always lay ahead——

"If she is ill, then she is probably seriously ill."

Chinu opened the door, bringing in the food box from outside, and casually pointed to the round hole in the window paper:

"Because he not only eavesdropped, he also peeked! He didn't leave until someone came to deliver medicine."

Even though he had lived many years and seen big scenes, when he last night met those spying eyes, he was still startled.

The strangest part is that Ruan Jintian appears old-fashioned and stern in speech, yet his actions on this trip are truly not those of an upright gentleman.

If that's the case, perhaps he already has a beautiful exterior but rotten interior, and we should guard against him in the future...

Not only Chinu thought so, Du Shanü did as well.

After she quickly washed up and dressed, Chinu had already lit the red clay stove for warming tea with a match, and placed the pre‑fried medicine in the food box on it to simmer.

The medicine's fragrance gradually permeated the room; Du Shanü thought for a moment, then said:

"Although I don't know what's up with Ruan Jintian, we should still get rid of him as soon as possible."

She has always acted decisively.

Some people can hide sand in their eyes.

Some people can slowly grind sand, waiting for it to become pearls.

But Du Shanü lacks that patience, and does not intend to keep the person nearby to watch how things develop.

To put it bluntly, although she has milk, she is not Ruan Jintian's mother—why should she tolerate him?

Moreover, this person was born into the Ruan family! The Ruan family!

She certainly hasn't forgotten how Chinu came back covered in wounds!

Chinu let out another hum:

"There's nothing unknown about it; I've said before, they just want to climb into bed!"

Truly a shameless lecher and philanderer!

Fortunately he held his ground last night; otherwise...

Fight fight fight kill kill kill!

One day he will kill all those men who seduce his wife master! Dou Shale!!!

Chinu: "(▼ヘ▼#)"

Du Shanü felt a sudden chill down her back upon meeting that gaze, and the words she was about to say to tease Chinu about 'watching the storehouse and stealing from it' were swallowed back.

"...... The medicine seems ready; drink the medicine, drink the medicine."

Chinu came to, took down the medicine cup, poured the brown liquid into a dish; Du Shanü drank it all at once, immediately feeling her hoarse throat much relieved.

She lightly coughed, about to find some tea to rinse her mouth, when turning her head she felt a familiar press of lips upon her——

Gentle, slow.

Lips and teeth met, without last night's surge, only a hint of sweetness.

Du Shanü slightly narrowed her eyes, enjoying the kiss.

After the kiss, both were slightly breathless.

Chinu leaned to Du Shanü's ear and whispered:

"Wife Master, remember: I feed you medicine to ease your suffering, to alleviate your illness...... not so that you recover a bit and then go favor others."

Chinu really is...

Forever vying for favor, jealous.

Du Shanü, hearing this, almost laughed in anger:

"You hold the umbrella for me in wind and rain, but as for how the wind and rain come, I won't bother, right?"

If it weren't for his lack of restraint, how could...

Forget it, she also bears responsibility.

In a breath, Du Shanü ceased her harsh blame of her own slave, rose and said:

"I'll go check on Yu Baobao, then we'll return to Dun Cheng to see how Liu Liu... no, that Yuan family cousin is doing with his affairs."

Perhaps because he knew she had already 'eaten her fill and drunk her fill', Chinu this time wasn't overly worried, accompanying her all the way to the corridor before stopping.

Du Shanü then went herself to look for Yu Baobao.

When she slept, Yu Baobao had already been asleep, oblivious to day or night; when she woke, Yu Baobao still guarded his little nest, snoring softly.

The southern lands are relatively warm; not being the cold winter month, they won't burn charcoal.

But Yu Baobao inside the room makes the whole place surprisingly warm.

Du Shanü felt relieved, and after a series of delicate kisses, Yu Baobao slowly opened his eyes, the big tooth mark on his face visible.

"How does it feel like someone bit me......"

"This is wrong, this is not good, it hurts a bit......"

Afterward, he met Du Shanü's eyes.

Du Shanü looked at him with a smile, while Yu Baobao seemed to think he was dreaming again and fell back into a drowsy sleep:

"Wife Master, wife master......"

"Xiao Ai made new clothes for you and the slave...... she worked many days and nights, these two days she's really tired...... don't bite Xiao Ai...... I'm a bit sleepy......"

Du Shanü startled, then saw clearly that beside Yu Baobao's bedside stood two sets of new clothing, both made of thick fur, sturdy wind‑proof overcoats.

This time, Du Shanü was truly speechless.

She held two sets of clothes and returned to the bedside, gently asking again as Yu Baobao, who was beginning to softly snore:

Where did you get that silver? Did you keep any for new clothes for yourself?

Even in her dream, Yu Baobao was very thoughtful, unwilling to let her wife master's words fall to the ground:

Yes, yes, but Xiao Ai doesn't often go out...... she doesn't like wearing a great cloak......

As for the money...... money......

Xiao Ai isn't as useful as Chinu, but she's not that stupid either...... she sold some wooden carvings she made...... then took A Chou to secretly sneak into Ouyang Yan's private money...... that's how we got it, hehe......

Du Shanü: "......"

How strange, truly strange.

Before, Chinu stole Chen Weifang's private money; after, Yu Baobao stole Ouyang Yan's private money......

In this household, who exactly can stash away private money! _(: 3」∠)_

Du Shanü couldn't hold back, she happily laughed for a while, then finally gave Yu Baobao a quick kiss, draped herself in the great cloak, and walked away.

Heaven and earth come and go hurriedly, but with Chinu constantly by her side, everything is vivid and striking.

And Yu Baobao......

She, however, has a long-lasting aftertaste.

Du Shanü was very glad she could meet these two people, and it just so happened that these were the two she met.

She came happily and left happily, preparing to give another great cloak to Chinu; but as soon as she stepped into the corridor, she saw two figures in the corner seemingly arguing—

One of them was precisely the expressionless Chinu.

The other, judging by the build, should be A Chou.

A Chou seemed very anxious; although his back was to her and he lowered his voice, the annoyance in his words could not be suppressed:

"Chinu, you're crazy!"

"You really are crazy!"

"Before, you were squeezed between the master and the Du family girl, and we thought you were just playing around...... but what exactly are you doing now?"

"First it was that incident at the clinic, then again, again last night...... how could you, how could you...... how dare you also seize the master's first wife?"

"The master has always treated you well; if not for him, you'd probably just be a muddy lump begging among the common folk! And now you——"

Chinu leaned sideways against the wooden pillar, the corridor shadows deep, Du Shanü couldn't see his eyebrows and eyes clearly.

Thus, Du Shanü called out:

"Chinu."

A Chou halted his voice, abruptly turned to look.

His appearance was already ruined, yet in that instant Du Shanü still clearly saw the shock on his face.

However, she didn't say more, merely smoothed her brow, slowly walked to stand beside the two, and said:

"Come with me."

"There's still a lot of business over in Dun Cheng."

Chinu responded with a sound, darting out from the shadows, his expression originally one of calm composure.

Du Shanü looked straight ahead, bringing Chinu past the outspoken A Chou.

A Chou seemed a little afraid, his shoulders trembling slightly, but he did not obstruct.

But just as the two were about to completely pass him, A Chou suddenly spat harshly on Chinu's face.

There are many ways to insult Chinu in this world, but A Chou happened to say:

"A son of a prostitute from a brothel can never rise to the table."

?? Shasha: We three will stay together forever!

? Yu Baobao: Agree!

? A Chou: Disagree!

? Guai Nunu: Agree!

? Afang: Disagree!
