W Chapter 81
by VolareChapter 81: A Three-in-One
In the small study in the backyard of the county government, Tu Hai stood in front of the desk, sighing deeply.
After a trip on the ship, he had gotten much darker, and compared to before when he was somewhat scholarly, he now seemed much more robust.
The folding fan that he always carried was still there, tucked diagonally into his belt.
Lin Qingyu looked at Tu Hai, completely puzzled, “How did you manage to bring him back?”
Tu Hai said helplessly, “Lord Magistrate, I’m wronged. I really didn’t bring him. That Young Master Wang snuck onto the ship while the crew wasn’t paying attention. I couldn’t very well throw him off halfway…”
Lin Qingyu pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing in resignation.
The Wang family produced members of the Hanlin Academy; seven members of the Hanlin Academy came from the Wang family, making them a family of esteemed scholars and renowned figures.
A powerful family like the Lin family and a family of esteemed scholars like the Wang family looked down on each other.
The two families were political enemies and never agreed on anything.
Although Wang Zhi was only a member of a branch family of the Wang family, he was one of the few of this generation who had made a name for himself, so he must be somewhat capable.
He had put a lot of thought into getting on the ship, so he probably had something important to do.
Whatever it was, Lin Qingyu didn’t want to know or care about it. He didn’t want to have any involvement with the Wang family at all.
Since things had already come to this, blaming him wouldn’t help.
The sausage business was doing well, and the second batch had already been made and could be shipped out.
Lin Qingyu waved his hand at Tu Hai, considering the matter closed.
“You can go and rest. We’ll set sail the day after tomorrow.”
Tu Hai was indeed tired, and after receiving the order, he cupped his fist and left, almost bumping into the clerk who had come to report.
He had only taken a few steps when he heard the clerk say, “Lord County Magistrate, Young Master Wang requests an audience.”
As soon as Tu Hai heard this, he quickened his pace, afraid that the County Magistrate Lin would get angry and drag him back to scold him.
If Wang Zhi came to the door asking to meet and Lin Qingyu refused, the Wang family’s party would likely make a big deal out of it and impeach him to death.
Troublesome, so troublesome.
He sighed, “Let him in.”
Wang Zhi wore a blue gown with a smooth silk surface, woven with a pattern of bamboo. The backyard of the county government wasn’t large, and it only took a few steps to reach the study.
However, the scenery was nice, with meticulous landscaping and a new view at every turn.
Wang Zhi looked around for a while, delaying things a bit.
The first thing he said when he entered the study was an apology, “I apologize for keeping Lord Lin waiting for so long. The scenery in the yard was so beautiful that I was completely engrossed.”
Lin Qingyu chuckled. “Then why doesn’t Young Master Wang go take another look?”
Wang Zhi didn’t answer, instead plopping down on the chair for guests and laughing, “Lord Lin, please don’t make fun of me.”
Lin Qingyu wasn’t very happy. Who was making fun of you?
However, he still had to maintain some decorum, since both families were well-known and respected.
After Lin Qingyu told someone to bring tea, he directly asked Wang Zhi, “Young Master Wang went to great lengths to get on the Yunshui County merchant ship. What is the reason for this?”
Wang Zhi wasn’t annoyed by Lin Qingyu’s directness, and sighed with what seemed like genuine emotion.
“I secretly ran away to look for my older brother.”
Lin Qingyu frowned upon hearing this.
The Wang family was indeed a family of esteemed scholars, but they weren’t without flaws.
Years ago, the Wang family had an incident: Wang Juan, a fifteenth-generation descendant of the Wang family, had an affair with a “ge’er” (a third gender in the ancient society) concubine his father had taken.
After the incident, the Wang family head wanted to kill the “ge’er”, but Wang Juan protected him with his life, gave up his status as a Wang family member, and took the “ge’er” away from the Wang family while barely clinging to life.
The two of them had acted so rebelliously that even though the Wang family tried to cover it up, the news still spread.
This matter was a taboo in the Wang family, and no one dared to mention it.
Lin Qingyu knew about Wang Juan’s affairs in Yunshui County. He also knew that the “ge’er” who had left the Wang family with him was Xie Qingya, who was friends with Ling Xing.
However, it was someone else’s family matter, so it wasn’t appropriate for others to comment or interfere.
Moreover, the two had already left the Wang family, and their names had been removed from the family tree. Since they had settled down in Yunshui County, they were just ordinary people under his jurisdiction and nothing special.
Lin Qingyu didn’t want to ask too much about other people’s affairs, since they were irrelevant to him, so he hadn’t paid special attention to Wang Juan and Xie Qingya.
But now, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
So much time had passed, and Wang Juan was born in the main family, while Wang Zhi was born in a branch family. Why was he looking for Wang Juan?
Something was amiss, and Lin Qingyu had a bad feeling about it.
“Young Master Wang, why did you come to the government office to look for your older brother? Your older brother isn’t here.”
Sensing the impatience and implied eviction in Lin Qingyu’s words, Wang Zhi immediately stood up and deeply cupped his fist and bowed to Lin Qingyu.
“Lord Magistrate, you don’t know, but His Majesty intends to reinstate my older brother, but the members of the family are blocking him at every turn.”
The story began because the imperial court lacked talent and the national treasury was empty, so they needed people and money.
The emperor reviewed the top ten policy essays from the imperial examinations since the founding of the dynasty, and Wang Juan’s strategy for governing the country once again appeared before the emperor.
Trade and commerce, border markets.
For someone born into a family of esteemed scholars, his essay was filled with talk of money, which was quite out of character.
But it was undeniable that this approach could indeed enrich the country.
It all depended on how it was implemented.
The emperor, who was so short on money that he had even shut down gambling dens, became more and more eager as he read the essay.
“When the people are rich, the country is strong.” He completely agreed with this statement.
He had to get Wang Juan back.
He found the Wang family head that night and revealed his intention to bring Wang Juan back.
As for the mistakes he had made in the past, the “ge’er” was no longer a concubine of the Wang family anyway, so it wouldn’t be against the law to bring him back to be an official now.
Besides, so many years had passed, and he had already been punished enough.
Lin Qingyu’s first reaction after hearing this was that the Wang family would never let Wang Juan return.
For a family like the Wang family, rules were more important than anything else, and reputation was more important than life.
The emperor might not care about the mistakes Wang Juan had made, but the Wang family would care.
If Wang Juan were really brought back, wouldn’t that be a slap in their faces? What’s more, Wang Juan would be coming back to make money, not to study.
This was practically trampling on one Wang family taboo after another.
Unless the Wang family head had lost his mind and didn’t care about the reputation of his family of esteemed scholars, he would never let Wang Juan return.
“Blocking him at every turn” was understandable.
Wang Zhi explained the whole story clearly and sincerely.
“Someone had already come before me. I’m worried that something bad has happened to my older brother, so I implore Lord Lin to help me by lending me some constables to find my older brother and protect his safety.”
Lin Qingyu was stunned.
Yes, only a dead person could put people completely at ease.
If a person was dead, even if His Majesty wanted him back, he wouldn’t be able to return.
The members of the Wang family all recited the words of sages, but when they took action, they were ruthless.
To be honest, Lin Qingyu didn’t want to get involved in the Wang family’s affairs, because it would cause a lot of trouble.
But…
Being able to see the Wang family unhappy was worth a little trouble.
What’s more, His Majesty valued Wang Juan, so if he helped him now, wouldn’t he be forming a good relationship?
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Qingyu nodded in agreement.
Since this was a private matter, it wasn’t appropriate to send constables. Lin Qingyu lent Wang Zhi two guards to protect Wang Juan and Xie Qingya as they left, just enough to keep them alive.
Three strangers on horseback suddenly arrived in Xiao Liucun. Two of them were carrying swords, and they were all dressed in black in broad daylight, which was quite frightening.
The three of them went straight to the house of the Wang Juan who sold tofu, and the news quickly spread throughout Xiao Liucun.
At this time, only Xu Youfang, Cao Manyue, Xiao Chun, and Xiao Xia were at home in the Shen family.
After hearing the news, they were worried that something had happened to Xie Qingya and Wang Juan, so they quickly put down their work and went to find Village Chief Zhu, organizing the villagers to go to the Wang family’s house to see what was going on.
Wang Juan didn’t expect Wang Zhi to arrive so suddenly.
He hadn’t seen any members of the Wang family for many years, nor had he heard any news about the Wang family.
The horses were tied up outside the door, and Lin’s guards stood at the courtyard gate with their swords, guarding the entrance. Inside the courtyard, Wang Zhi was trying to persuade Wang Juan.
“Brother, as long as you’re willing to go back and admit your mistake, the family head will definitely forgive you!”
Wang Juan’s face was pale, and he coughed lightly.
Xie Qingya quickly patted him on the back.
When Wang Zhi saw how frail Wang Juan was, he felt resentment in his heart. Wang Juan used to be so skilled in swordsmanship that even His Majesty had praised him.
Now, let alone wielding a sword, he probably couldn’t even lift one.
Wang Zhi suddenly stood up, pushed Xie Qingya away, and said angrily with red eyes, “It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, how could my brother have become like this!”
“If you really love my brother, then go die! As long as you die, my brother can go back, and the family head can forgive him…”
*Pa*—
Wang Juan’s hand trembled slightly as he looked at Wang Zhi, whose face had been slapped to the side. He suppressed the bloody taste that was rising in his chest and said with difficulty, “I have long since severed ties with the Wang family. You’re not welcome here. Please leave.”
Xie Qingya took Wang Juan’s hand with distress. It was red…
His health wasn’t good, and getting so angry would take a long time to recover.
Wang Zhi covered his face and said through gritted teeth, “I came here to save your life!”
Wang Juan sneered.
“Is that so?”
“It’s said that you become your own doctor after being sick for a long time. Over the years, I’ve taken a lot of medicine and read a lot of medical books. At the very least, I can still smell the scent of *you ran ye*.”
*You ran ye* was called “you ran,” but it was extremely poisonous. It had only two uses: to knock out living things and to poison living things to death.
In the cold winter, Wang Juan’s bones that had been broken and reattached would hurt terribly, keeping him up all night.
When he couldn’t bear it anymore, he would burn a small amount of *you ran ye* powder, which would allow him to sleep well and not be in so much pain.
He couldn’t possibly mistake this smell.
Wang Zhi was visibly stunned, and then immediately explained, “I was afraid that the family would send too many people, and the two guards wouldn’t be able to handle them. So I prepared some *you ran ye* powder to knock people out as a precaution.”
Wang Juan’s eyes grew colder, and he looked at Wang Zhi’s right index finger.
“If that’s the case, why are you hiding the powder in your fingertip? Are you planning to invite the person who’s trying to kill me in for tea and put it in when they’re not paying attention?”
Wang Zhi gasped. He raised his hand to look at it. He had been trying to hide it since he came in, but he had still been discovered.
After chuckling softly, he put away his previous angry and distressed expression and resumed his usual indifferent demeanor.
“Brother, you really are the smartest in the family. You can see through everything.”
Wang Zhi used his thumbnail to pick out the powder from the crack in his index finger and plopped back down on the stool.
“I didn’t lie to you. The family did send people to kill you. Originally, I wanted to use the magistrate Lin’s people as witnesses. While they were fighting with the assassins, I could knock you out and then make my move. As long as I also fainted and got a little injured, no one would suspect me.”
“It’s a pity. The plan was so good, but I was exposed before I could even make a move. Not fun. Boring.”
Wang Juan leaned weakly against Xie Qingya’s body.
The two were about the same height, and Xie Qingya was more robust. Even when being leaned on, he didn’t waver in the slightest.
“You went to all this trouble for that essay? You want to replace me and meet with His Majesty?”
Although it was a question, Wang Juan was already certain that this was what Wang Zhi intended.
Sure enough, Wang Zhi clicked his tongue. “It’s annoying to talk to smart people. You really can’t hide anything from me.”
After saying this, he sighed again. “Every radish has its own hole, but there are too many radishes in the Wang family, so it’s hard for me to get ahead. Now that there’s finally another hole, of course I have to think of some ways to plant myself in it.”
“Of course, hurting people isn’t right. Brother, you used to be very good to me, and you never looked down on me. You would even patiently teach me my homework.”
“But why did you leave? Why did you abandon me and leave!”
Wang Zhi was furious, and he stared intently at Wang Juan. “After you left, I lived a life worse than death at home. Anyone could come and step on me, just because I had the best relationship with you.”
“Do you think you deserve to die?”
“You deserve to die, and Xie Qingya deserves to die too. You both deserve to die!”
Wang Zhi was like a madman, his face twisted. Afraid that the people outside would hear him, he deliberately lowered his voice, making him seem even more gloomy.
Wang Juan’s brow furrowed tightly, his emotions surging, and he coughed constantly.
There was wind outside, and his emotions were fluctuating too much, so Wang Juan’s body couldn’t take it.
Xie Qingya had no choice but to pick him up and carry him horizontally, placing him on the bed.
After tucking Wang Juan in, he strode into the courtyard, dragged Wang Zhi, and threw him out of the courtyard.
Xie Qingya, who had been making tofu all year round, was very strong. Wang Zhi couldn’t break free for a while and could only follow Xie Qingya’s strength.
“This person is trying to kill me and my husband. The County Magistrate was deceived by him. Please take him away.”
Xie Qingya made it clear in one sentence and closed the door directly.
The two guards looked at each other, and after a moment, they realized what it meant.
They had been used as tools.
Before they could say anything, a group of villagers came from not far away.
Many people were still holding farming tools in their hands. Don’t think that they didn’t have swords, hoes and iron spades were made of pure iron, villagers were busy with crops in the fields day and night, and each of them had a lot of strength.
They really couldn’t resist so many people bringing their tools.
Village Chief Zhu and Xu Youfang, who were leading the group, stared at the three people at the courtyard gate. After getting a little closer, Village Chief Zhu asked loudly, “Who are you? Why are you bringing swords to our Xiao Liucun?”
The two guards were thinking about how to respond when Wang Zhi started shouting.
“What else could it be? We’re here to eliminate harm for the family! The two people living in the courtyard seem to be a couple, but they’re actually committing adultery and incest! The son and the father’s concubine are together. How can your village tolerate such people!”
As soon as this was said, not only the villagers of Xiao Liucun were stunned, but the two guards were also stunned.
They didn’t expect that it would be such a relationship!
Xie Qingya was standing in the courtyard, not having had time to go inside.
He had heard everything Wang Zhi had said.
Since he couldn’t take action against them himself, he would tell the villagers their identities and relationships and let the villagers do it?
Xie Qingya thought of how when they had just left the Wang family, no matter where they settled down, the locals would find out about their initial identities.
Then there would be endless beatings and scoldings, and they had been running away.
Xiao Liucun was the village where they had stayed the longest.
Here, he had made his first and only friend.
It seemed that he and Wang Juan were going to have to run away again.
He didn’t know if he would ever see Ling Xing again, and whether Ling Xing would despise his identity…
Xie Qingya’s nose felt sore, and his eyes were slightly hot, and he hurried into the house.
This place was not suitable to stay for a long time, he had to quickly pack up and leave.
Even if the villagers didn’t know their identities, they couldn’t stay here any longer because the Wang family had sent people to kill them.
Having been together for many years, Wang Juan could tell why Xie Qingya was sad with just one glance.
He thought that Wang Zhi had told the villagers about them.
He struggled to get up to help Xie Qingya pack.
Xie Qingya acted quickly, mainly to bring all the money with him.
He fastened the baggage, “I can’t take the books with me for the time being. I’ll come back quietly later to see if I can take some of them.”
Wang Juan nodded, “Yes, let’s go out through the small door. If nothing goes wrong, the main door should be blocked.”
The two of them opened the door and saw Lin County Magistrate’s guards waiting at the door.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
They thought that they would definitely not be able to leave today and would suffer some physical pain, but they didn’t expect to hear one of them say, “Give us your things, and we’ll take you to the county seat to hide on horseback.”
The other person said, “Before we came, the Lord Magistrate emphasized that protecting your lives is the most important thing. We won’t listen to, see, or ask about anything else.”
In other words, no matter what Wang Zhi said or did, all they had to do was keep Wang Juan and Xie Qingya alive.
Wang Juan felt grateful, and it was a good thing that County Magistrate Lin wasn’t the kind of person who could be manipulated and deceived.
Xie Qingya glanced at the direction of the courtyard gate worriedly, “There should be a lot of people outside, can we get out?”
The guard said, “Auntie Xu stopped them and didn’t let anyone take action. You can leave.”
When Xie Qingya heard that it was Xu Youfang who had helped, tears streamed down his face.
For so many years, he had encountered someone willing to help them for the first time.
Wang Juan reached out and pulled Xie Qingya out, “Auntie Xu probably won’t be able to hold on for too long, let’s leave quickly, we can’t make it too difficult for Auntie.”
Xie Qingya nodded.
The courtyard gate was opened, and Wang Zhi was gone.
The villagers who had gathered, originally afraid that something would happen to the Wang family, were glaring at the Wang family’s courtyard gate.
The tools they used to protect themselves had become weapons that could hurt people at any time.
Adultery and incest were crimes that deserved to be drowned in a pig cage and beaten to death.
Such people could not be kept, otherwise they would corrupt the atmosphere of the village, and how would the village be able to marry in the future!
Xu Youfang’s mind went blank after hearing what Wang Zhi said.
The villagers’ talk about how to deal with Xie Qingya and Wang Juan was like knives, stabbing into her body.
She quickly woke up and forced herself to cheer up.
If she couldn’t protect Xie Qingya and Wang Juan today, she wouldn’t be able to protect Ling Xing and Erlang in the future.
“If anyone lays a hand on Xie Qingya and Wang Juan, don’t do any more work for the Shen family in the future!”
Xu Youfang shouted, and Zhu Rushan frowned.
While thinking in silence, he made a choice.
After all, money was more important. Zhu Rushan did not object to Xu Youfang’s approach, but he did not help Xu Youfang persuade the villagers.
In his opinion, Xie Qingya and Wang Juan had done something that violated human ethics, and they deserved to die.
The villagers thought the same as Zhu Rushan.
They knew that Ling Xing of the Shen family and Xie Qingya were close, and Xu Youfang wanted to protect the two because of Ling Xing.
No one could get past money, and the villagers did nothing for the sake of money.
When Xie Qingya and Wang Juan came out, they just stared at them.
Wang Juan and Xie Qingya looked at the figure blocking the villagers, and the two cupped their hands and saluted to thank Xu Youfang for her help.
Xu Youfang nodded slightly and did not speak.
She didn’t know exactly what was going on with these two people, and if what the previous person said was true, they were indeed at fault.
Protecting them today was her selfishness and emotions outweighing etiquette and rules.
It didn’t mean that her approach was right.
Xu Youfang frowned, her heart was very chaotic.
Xie Qingya could ride a horse, and he and Wang Juan rode together, and two guards rode together.
It was very fast to ride a horse to the county, and it only took more than an hour.
Lin Qingyu met Xie Qingya and Wang Juan in the government office.
He also learned about Wang Zhi’s plan.
Knowing that he was also calculated by that kid, the corners of Lin Qingyu’s mouth twitched.
The Wang family, all the scholars in this family, are all shrewd and calculating.
Fortunately, he also had a backhand, ordering the guards to only stare at Wang Juan and Xie Qingya when a riot occurred, and to take them out.
Even if Wang Juan didn’t find out Wang Zhi’s intentions, the kid would not be able to succeed in the end.
Lin Qingyu was not interested in the Wang family’s affairs, and did not ask Wang Juan what happened to them back then, and only asked them, “What are your plans for the future?”
Wang Juan glanced at Xie Qingya, “I want to meet Ling Xing first and say goodbye to him.”
As for where to go, it has not yet been determined.
Lin Qingyu looked at Wang Juan’s pale face and couldn’t help but sigh, “If you want to go back to be an official, I will send someone to send you.”
Wang Juan shook his head, “Thank you for your kindness, Lord. My body can’t stand the tossing of the officialdom.”
Lin Qingyu glanced at him and sighed again, and he didn’t expect Wang Juan’s body to be so bad, and he must have suffered a lot back then.
Saving people to the end, sending the Buddha to the west.
When he was accumulating virtue and doing good for himself.
“If you have a letter to send to the Wang family, I will send someone to the main family, and then let the main family send it to the Wang family. They know that you have a relationship with the Lin family, and they dare not act recklessly anymore. Make it clear in the letter your thoughts, and the Wang family should not have any more movements in the future.”
Wang Juan didn’t expect Lin Qingyu to help them like this, and this incident was really different from every previous one.
This time he didn’t refuse Lin Qingyu’s kindness, he needed a stable and peaceful life.
Officialdom, Wang family, he didn’t want to contact them all.
Wang Juan wrote a letter in the government office, making it clear that he was not a member of the Wang family, and his body was getting worse and worse, and he didn’t know how many days he could live, and it was impossible to enter the officialdom again.
After that, whether he lived or died had nothing to do with the Wang family.
But if he used some unscrupulous means again, then he didn’t mind stabbing the matter all the way to the imperial court.
Let the world see the despicable means of the Qingliu Wang family.
If Wang Juan asked someone to send this letter, the Wang family would not have any scruples. But if the Lin family sent someone, everything would be different.
The Lin family and the Wang family were originally at odds, and the Lin family had regained their favor, if they really said something to His Majesty, the Wang family would not be able to bear it.
Wang Juan knew this, so he couldn’t refuse Lin Qingyu’s proposal.
If he owed someone a favor, he must repay it when he had the opportunity.
After the letter was written, Lin Qingyu asked someone to send it to the Lin family as soon as possible, and he himself wrote a letter to the main family, explaining the reason and the plan.
Being able to take the handle of the Wang family, presumably the main family was also very happy to take this trip to send a letter to the Wang family.
After dealing with the matter, Wang Juan and Xie Qingya took their baggage and went to Ling Xing’s small courtyard.
It was afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.
Ling Xing was making egg ice cream in the yard to relieve the heat for his family.
This thing is easier to make than frozen milk curd, just separate the egg whites and egg yolks, add an appropriate amount of sugar to the egg whites and stir, and then add the egg yolks and stir evenly after it solidifies.
In addition, take an empty basin, pour ice cubes into it, and sprinkle with salt. Put the basin containing the stirred egg yolk and egg white on the ice basin. Then pour in an appropriate amount of milk and continue to stir.
Slowly, the things inside will solidify. After solidification, it tastes sweet and soft, melts in your mouth, and is very cool, which is very effective for relieving heat.
Although the taste is not as good as frozen milk curd, it is cooler and the taste is not bad.
It’s just a waste of hands and effort.
After finally stirring, the egg ice cream solidified successfully, and Ling Xing scooped out a small bowl and sent it to Ling Yue.
He planned to send the rest to Shen Lai, Shen Hui, and Lin County Magistrate.
Now Shen Lai is studying with Doctor Pei every day, and that Xinyi is no longer causing trouble because Shen Lai saved her life.
Even if the child is tired when he comes home, he has a smile on his face.
This time, I will send more over to let the people in the clinic eat some to relieve the heat.
Just about to go out, the courtyard door rang.
Ling Xing went to open the door and was stunned when he saw Xie Qingya and Wang Juan.
The two of them looked serious and were carrying baggage, something must have happened.
He quickly invited them into the yard.
“Brother Qing, what’s wrong?” Ling Xing asked Xie Qingya worriedly.
Xie Qingya had already thought about it on the road, and he didn’t hide it from Ling Xing, and told him everything that had happened before.
He didn’t want to lose this friend.
“Brother Xing, I have something to tell you.”
It was rare for Xie Qingya to speak so seriously, Ling Xing’s heart was up and down, and he nodded and led them to the hall.
He brought the ice basin and scooped out the ice cream to entertain them.
The others can only continue to freeze in the ice basin.
People came to the house, and they were familiar people.
Ling Yue heard the movement and came out to salute. After learning that the adults had something to say, he finished saluting and left the hall and went back to continue reading.
The taste of the ice cream is dense and sweet.
The cool breath enters the five internal organs along the throat, making people feel a lot cooler, dispelling some heat, and making people’s hearts calmer.
Xie Qingya ate most of it, calmed down, and told Ling Xing what happened in Xiao Liucun.
Afraid that Ling Xing would also misunderstand, Xie Qingya emphasized after speaking, “Things are not as the Wang family said.”
Ling Xing looked at the two in surprise, but Xie Qingya didn’t dare to look at Ling Xing.
He was afraid that Ling Xing would think he was quibbling and see disgust in Ling Xing’s eyes.
A hand covered the back of his hand, the palm was warm and dry, and Xie Qingya looked at the hand and couldn’t react for a while.
“It’s good that you’re all right.”
Ling Xing’s words gave Xie Qingya the courage to look up.
His voice was low and hoarse, “Brother Xing, won’t you hate me?”
Ling Xing said, “You said it wasn’t what they said.”
Xie Qingya laughed, it was so good, Brother Xing believed him.
“So what exactly happened before?” Ling Xing asked.
Xie Qingya glanced at Wang Juan and fell into memories.
Seven years ago, Xie Qingya was seventeen years old.
His height and body shape were different from other ge’er, and he looked more like a man.
If it wasn’t for the pregnancy mole on his wrist, plus he didn’t grow a beard and didn’t have an Adam’s apple. Just looking at other things, it was no different from a man.
Not many men like such ge’er, in fact, many men like women.
Most of the people who marry ge’er are those who have no money to marry women and have to marry ge’er, and only a small number of them really like ge’er, so they marry.
Xie Qingya was tall and not soft-spoken, and he hadn’t been married off at the age of seventeen.
The family didn’t want to have more mouths to eat, although Xie Qingya could work, it wasn’t as practical as money.
So the Xie family sold him and got some money.
Xie Qingya slept in the dental shop for one night and was bought by the old bustard of the brothel.
Some men like ge’er with his body shape.
Because there are fewer such ge’er, in the brothel, it is considered a rare thing.
Sure enough, Xie Qingya was taken by a big man that night and sent to the elegant room on the top floor.
Xie Qingya was a fiery person, and he was ready to pay for his life.
He struggled fiercely, and even beat the big man under him because of his strength.
He also cursed loudly, scolding the other party for being lewd, shameless, and faceless.
Unexpectedly, the more he beat and scolded, the more excited the other party became.
His face turned red, his body kept shaking, and Xie Qingya shook him.
Could this person have some kind of disease?
Xie Qingya was afraid and started to move his hands again.
The more he beat, the more excited and trembling the other party became.
In the end, he didn’t know if he was knocked unconscious or excited, anyway, the person passed out.
Because it was too strange and unheard of, Xie Qingya couldn’t do it. The main thing was that the other party didn’t do anything to him, but he beat him badly.
It seemed that he had broken it…
Xie Qingya thought that he would definitely not survive tomorrow.
He broke the big man.
In that case, it’s better to have a good meal and drink, and then have a good sleep.
The meals and drinks sent in were all excellent, and Xie Qingya ate them all.
After rinsing his mouth, he lay directly on the soft bed, and the soft silk covered his body, and he felt like he was sleeping in the clouds.
When Xie Qingya woke up in the morning, his head hurt a little.
It was probably because he drank alcohol last night.
Looking around, the big man he had broken was no longer there.
Xie Qingya was wondering, and the door was pushed open.
The old bustard, whom he had only met a few times, congratulated him with a happy face, saying that he had been taken by a big man and was going to be a concubine in the big man’s house.
Xie Qingya was suspicious, but he had no choice, at least he was married.
On the night he entered the mansion, the big man, Wang Wenjing, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, gave him a special leather whip and asked him to do it. He also wanted to scold him like he did in the elegant room of the brothel the night before.
Xie Qingya was so frightened that he threw the whip away and shouted that he was sick.
Wang Wenjing smiled and nodded, and took off his clothes in front of him.
Xie Qingya was horrified, he didn’t dare to look at the picture and wanted to leave the room.
But the door was locked from the outside.
Wang Wenjing said with a slight gasp, “If you don’t do what I tell you to do, then these things will be used on you.”
Xie Qingya didn’t want to be beaten, so he picked up the whip without hesitation.
From then on, Xie Qingya was locked in this room.
Wang Wenjing would come every now and then and make various requests that Xie Qingya could not understand or even accept.
But fortunately, except for being mentally and visually disgusting, and not being able to accept it very well, he ate well and drank well, and he was not touched.
Life was pretty good.
Later, Wang Wenjing didn’t lock him up anymore and let him move freely in the mansion.
