Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Minister under the Skirt (20)
 

Xie Shu clearly thought that Chuzheng had intentionally put the medicine in there for him to eat.

Chuzheng was furious.

She turned over, got off the bed, and picked up the porcelain bottle.

“What are you doing?”

“Didn’t you say I made you eat it?” Chuzheng opened the porcelain bottle.

Then I might as well make your claim a reality.

So you dare say it was me!

If I really wanted you to eat it, would I have waited until now?

Stupid chicken brain, are you sick?

Xie Shu seemed to guess what she wanted to do; his complexion turned extremely poor as he shrank inward.

“[Miss,]” the voice from King’s Account was no longer roaring, and the tender voice became weathered, “[this is your Good Person Card, and if you keep this up, he’s going to show you his dark side right away.]

If he turns dark, so be it.

I can just lock him up.

That’s no excuse for him to frame me!

“[Miss!!!]”

Who exactly is the one turning dark here!!

Chuzheng pinched Xie Shu’s chin: “I’m telling you, Xie Shu, even if I don’t feed you medicine, you can’t run from whatever I want to do.”

Xie Shu, leaning against the wall behind him, had a mix of gloominess in his eyes, like a fierce beast caged in darkness, about to break free of its shackles.

“Knock knock…”

“Young lady, young lady, your bird is almost tearing my room apart.”

Chuzheng glanced at the door and pinched Xie Shu’s chin to kiss him: “I didn’t drug you.”

She handed him the medicine bottle, turned over to get off the bed, put on her coat, and went to open the door.

The door only cracked open, she slipped out sideways and closed the door behind her.

Only after the room quieted down did Xie Shu’s tense body suddenly relax.

He collapsed onto the bed like a drowning man who had been rescued, gasping for fresh air.

Just a moment ago, he truly thought she was going to make him swallow that medicine.

— I’m telling you, Xie Shu, even if I don’t feed you medicine, you can’t run from whatever I want to do.

— I didn’t drug you.

Xie Shu clenched the porcelain bottle in his hands.

He couldn’t trust her.

He couldn’t trust her.

Xie Shu sat on the bed for a while before finding his clothes.

Yao Ye suddenly pushed the door and entered. “The lady asked me to come check on you…”

Yao Ye stopped at the entrance, his gaze falling on Xie Shu’s shoulder.

Xie Shu quickly pulled his clothes over and turned to look at him: “I’m fine, you don’t have to…”

Bang—

The door slammed shut with a snap.

Xie Shu didn’t even catch a glimpse of Yao Ye’s expression.

He felt the spot of the birthmark, a vague unease in his heart.

–

Yao Ye stood outside the room, as if he had seen something terrifying; he paced a couple of steps and immediately returned to his own room.

Chuzheng was scolding Wu Di, threatening to stew it into soup.

Yao Ye came back, closed the door, and looked at her with blazing eyes.

Chuzheng: “…”

Why does it look like he’s seen a ghost after checking on Good Person Card?

What did Good Person Card do?

It didn’t run away, did it?

Chuzheng grabbed Tianjin Mouse and Wu Di and headed for the door.

Yao Ye stood at the entrance, blocking her exit as he saw her leaving.

“Miss, I have a question.”

“Did the person run away?”

“?” Yao Ye was taken aback for a moment: “No, he’s fine. I just have another question I want to ask you.”

Good that he didn’t run.

“Ask.”

Yao Ye swallowed: “Do you know who that gentleman is?”

“He’s mine,” Chuzheng said confidently.

“…”

Yao Ye was almost made to forget what he planned to ask by this answer.

He took a deep breath, “Miss, have you seen his birthmark here?”

Yao Ye pointed to the position behind his shoulder, exactly where Xie Shu’s birthmark was.

“…”

Chuzheng’s gaze was somewhat cold as she looked at him.

“Do you know what that birthmark is?” Yao Ye did not notice Chuzheng’s expression. He paced back and forth, “Do you know who he is?”

“Is there a problem?” Chuzheng asked.

“Do you really not know?”

“I don’t know.”

“Have you heard of the Heavy Snow Night Moon?” Yao Ye asked again.

Chuzheng remembered that Xie Shu had asked her this question once.

Chuzheng shook her head just the same.

Yao Ye murmured softly, “Heavy Snow Night Moon, he is from the Xie Family of Heavy Snow Night Moon, where every member of the Xie Family has such a birthmark.”

Chuzheng remembered, she never told Yao Ye what Xie Shu’s name was…

“What is the Heavy Snow Night Moon?”

Yao Ye looked deeply into Chuzheng’s eyes for a moment, his usual noisy demeanor gone, and now he appeared somewhat more composed.

“The Heavy Snow Night Moon is a place where the moon hangs high in the sky even during the day. Snow falls there all year round, but the trees and plants are just like those outside. The snow doesn’t pile up. The sky is always filled with snowflakes, yet there is only a thin layer of snow on the ground, just like an Immortal Realm. That place is called the Heavy Snow Night Moon.”

“The family that controls this place is the Xie Clan.”

“Five years ago, the Xie Clan met with ruin, and the entire Heavy Snow Night Moon collapsed. Dongyuan experienced snowfall for three whole months in the scorching summer.”

As Yao Ye spoke, he seemed to have lingering fears.

Chuzheng’s expression was indifferent, “Oh.”

Five years ago… that matched the time when Xie Shu was picked up by Chu Yingyu.

At that time, Xie Shu was severely injured. After Chu Yingyu picked him up, he remained unconscious for two whole years before waking, and then spent over a year recovering, making it clear just how severe his injuries were.

“You’re not just some girl, give some reaction, that’s a person from the Xie Family!” After saying this, Yao Ye realized something wasn’t right. The girl wasn’t from Dongyuan, so she probably took it as just a story.

Yao Ye said, “Miss, let me tell you, the people from the Xie Family are not all dead, they will definitely seek revenge. You should avoid getting involved with him, be careful with your own life.”

“Do a lot of people want him dead?” Is the Good Person Card really so pitiful?

“Of course, once certain people know he’s alive, he will be hunted down.”

“Why?”

“How much do you know about Dongyuan?” Yao Ye asked.

“Dongyuan.” To be honest, that’s the only thing I know about Dongyuan.

“???” Yao Ye pondered for a moment, “Don’t tell me you’ve only heard of Dongyuan?”

Chuzheng nodded seriously.

Yao Ye was dumbstruck, after a while he gave a thumbs-up, “Miss, you must be heading to Dongyuan, right?”

The passengers on this route had no other destination but Dongyuan.

Chuzheng: “Is that not allowed?”

Yao Ye was impressed, “You’re really brave.”

To dare to go to Dongyuan without any understanding of it.

Dongyuan was different from this place; there was no country.

Each area was controlled by major family clans, among which the Shen, Jun, Murong, and Xie were the most prestigious and influential.

The Xie Family usually lived in the Heavy Snow Night Moon, and had sparse dealings with the other three clans, never contending or vying for power, more like a secluded family.

Thus, only three families were involved in the fiercest competition in Dongyuan.

However, just a few years ago, the three families, who were always at loggerheads, suddenly began secret communications, followed by the collapse of the Heavy Snow Night Moon.

The people of Dongyuan didn’t know why the Heavy Snow Night Moon collapsed, but some did.

It was because the three major clans had joined forces against the Xie Family.

“Why?”

“Why?” Yao Ye shook his head, “I don’t know, but the person in your room should know.”

“What’s your surname?” Chuzheng suddenly asked.

Yao Ye’s handsome face showed confusion, “Haven’t I told you my name, Miss?”

“I asked you your surname.”

“…”

Yao Ye was silent for a while, “My surname is Shen, but rest assured, Miss, I won’t tell anyone about this matter. I actually don’t have much to do with the Shen Family.”

Yao Ye swore with a raised hand.

Chuzheng got up and walked to the door. As she was leaving, she looked back, “My surname is Jun.”

Yao Ye: “…”
