Although the affection inside was vague and restrained, not as straightforward and passionate as the people in this world, Chu Yunli still felt the sincerity inside, and felt a little at a loss at the moment.
If she was just an ordinary girl, it would be really hard to refuse such an offer of affection. She might just agree.
But now she is not herself, she is helping others live their lives, and the most important thing is revenge, so when it comes to feelings, she cannot do whatever she wants.
What's more, Chen Qian had previously planned to let his father and daughter help cover up Shen Qiuyan's identity, but later gave up and left for unknown reasons. When Shen Qiuyan's biological father came to find him, the future of the Zhou family was still unknown. At this time, But it’s not good to drag others down anymore.
Chu Yunli listened to the crackling sound in her ears, her heart beating rapidly. She looked up and saw that the rain outside had decreased, and breathed a sigh of relief, "The rain has stopped."
As she finished speaking, she noticed that Feng Shaoan's tense back over there relaxed. "Then should we leave now or later." After a pause, she added, "There is a lot of dew outside now. Maybe the clothes we just dried are dry." It will get wet.”
Chu Yunli looked at the dark sky outside, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid it will rain again, then we really won't be able to go back."
The two of them came out of the cave, with Feng Shao'an in front. The machete in his hand was brushing against the grass and branches on the roadside, and the rain falling on it fell. Chu Yunli followed with a water bag, and the two of them walked down the mountain quickly.
Suddenly, Chu Yunli stopped and looked at the grass on the roadside in confusion. She walked over a few steps and squatted down. She turned around and smiled at Feng Shao'an who was chasing after her, "It's ginseng, it's a hundred years old."
Feng Shaoan was overjoyed and said sincerely, "Congratulations."
The two squatted down and quickly dug up ginseng. Chu Yunli searched around and found a few common medicinal plants, but they were all very practical. "Hasn't anyone come here to collect medicinal herbs before?"
Feng Shao'an helped her hold the medicinal materials and water bag, and nodded after hearing the words, "The woods here are deep and inaccessible. There are almost no people walking on this road. Naturally, no one collects the medicinal materials."
"Come back later." Chu Yunli dug with great interest.
Feng Shao'an looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but ask, "Will you ask me... to protect you in the future?"
"Of course," Chu Yunli said without hesitation, "I can't find the way, you have to show us the way."
Feng Shaoan's lips curled up slightly and he stretched out his hand to help.
Even if there are medicinal herbs all around, they can't pick more. The clouds in the sky are thick, not the blue that should be on a sunny day, and it's probably going to rain. After the two picked a few herbs, they started to shuttle through the forest again, even with Feng Shao'an in front of them. Keep brushing off the rain, Chu Yunli's clothes were still wet, but Feng Shaoan's clothes in front were worse than hers, and the clothes below the chest were darker. When the two of them got on the main road, it was a little wider and not so easy to touch. When they reached the branches on the roadside, Chu Yunli noticed the coldness on his body. He frowned and said, "After we go back, take some medicine and drink it. Be careful of getting cold." He was afraid that no one at home could take care of him.
Feng Shaoan turned around, "Are you concerned about me?"
Meeting his expectant eyes, Chu Yunli was speechless and said after a while, "You are in this rain because of us. How can I feel at ease if you get sick because of this?"
Chu Yunli was a little uncomfortable. If the person in front of her was more powerful and rogue, she would feel better. She was so disappointed and didn't say much, but she felt like a bastard who always gave up. But with the conscience of heaven and earth, what did she really do? He didn't do anything, so he could only say, "Let's leave quickly."
When they reached the main road, it was much faster to go down the mountain. Half an hour later, they met Dr. Tian and his friends who were resting by the roadside. Without stopping, they went to the medical center in the town.
After Chunyu's wounds were treated and everyone got a few more packets of medicine, it was already dark and everyone separated and went home.
Chu Yunli remembered that Feng Shaoan's family lived in a mountain far away, and wanted to keep him in the town for one night. Even if he didn't live in Zhou Mansion, it would be better to stay in an inn. However, he found that he had already disappeared into the darkness with several packets of medicine in his arms.
In the middle, only his back could be seen covered by the thick darkness of night.
In the next few days, it rained all the time, and it was definitely impossible to go into the mountains. The spring rain healed her wounds. The little girl next to Chu Yunli didn't usually talk to her, she just felt bored, so she went to the doctor.
Help in the library.
It was raining, and there were fewer people in the medical clinic. Doctor Tian was not here, so he was still tired this time. Chu Yunli stayed idle for half a day. This kind of weather was not suitable for grinding medicinal materials. He happened to be hungry, so he got up again
to the restaurant.
The restaurant was quite lively. Chu Yunli took the little girl directly upstairs. Not long after they sat down, someone knocked on the door.
The little girl went to open the door. Chu Yunli thought it was a waiter serving food, but when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she found an unexpected person standing at the door - Wen Hui.
Two or three months have passed since she got married, and this is her first time back.
Wen Hui wore her hair in a woman's bun, which was much thinner than before, and the makeup on her face was not as "bright" as before. She looked much calmer and normal. She asked with a smile, "Miss Zhou, I am not disturbing you."
"No." Chu Yunli looked her up and down, "Miss Wen is back?"
Wen Hui asked with a smile, "Can't I come back?"
What is this nonsense?
Chu Yunli's smile faded a bit, "How can I say this? This Huanxi Town is your mother's home. You can go back if you want."
Wen Hui had already stepped through the door while she was talking, and walked to sit opposite her, "I came back because I have business to do."
Chu Yunli didn't ask further questions, she would just tell her what she wanted to say.
Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Wen Hui smiled even deeper and said, "This year's county examination is about to begin in the county. The officials in charge of the examination seem to be looking for someone. The Wen family is a businessman. Even if they are not on good terms with the officials, they will not violate other people's taboos.
, so, my father-in-law made a special inquiry and found out a coincidence. The adult was looking for a woman surnamed Shen in her thirties, and said she might take the child with her..."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Whatever Miss Wen wants to say, just say it."
Wen Hui rubbed the exquisite bracelet made of pure gold on her wrist, half-smiling, "If I remember correctly, Miss Shen's mother's surname seems to be Shen, and her age is about the same, but I wonder if she is related to them as mother and daughter?"
Sure enough, it came.
After Chen Qian retreated so quickly, Chu Yunli felt in his heart that the reason why he gave up letting his father and daughter lie was because they couldn't hide it at all.
Chu Yunli spread his hands, "Whether it is related or not has nothing to do with our Zhou Mansion."
"Really?" Wen Hui asked with a smile, obviously not believing her words, "Aren't you afraid that when Miss Shen finds her father, she will turn around to take revenge on you?"
Chu Yunli was speechless. The Zhou family had never felt sorry for Shen Qiuyan. The most they could do was send her out of the cabinet and break off relations with her. But it was enough for an orphan left by relatives to live here. Why should she really protect her for the rest of her life?
? Not to mention that Shen Qiuyan also snatched the marriage of a serious daughter. Not to mention Father Zhou, who loves his daughter as much as she wants. Even an ordinary father should not be able to swallow this breath.
As long as Shen Qiuyan's father is a reasonable person, he will not let her act recklessly to retaliate against the Zhou family.
"We have a clear conscience." Chu Yunli said sternly. In fact, knowing that Shen Qiuyan's father was the examiner, she felt slightly relaxed. Officials would have some scruples when doing things.
Wen Hui looked at her for a long time, smiled and shook her head, "Where can there be so many reasonable people in this world?"
"I won't hide it from you. I came back this time just to take her to find that adult. If she is real, then the Wen family has done a good job for that adult."
Chu Yunli nodded when he heard this, "I understand."
Wen Hui didn't see her change her color from beginning to end. She seemed really not afraid at all. She smiled mockingly, "Actually, I've always envied you. We both had similar experiences when we were young. I'm glad that people in the town compare us. I feel that I am no worse than you. But I didn’t expect that my father’s love for me is not as good as your father’s love for you..."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "What are you talking about? I won't disturb you anymore."
Seeing her walking to the door slowly and the girl opening the door for her, Chu Yunli suddenly asked, "Does he know that you did this for Mr. Wu?"
Shen Qiuyan and his father know each other, so Wu Ming will probably continue to take the county examination. With her father supporting her all the way in the future, her future will naturally be good.
