Ruan Xi cursed loudly, "Jing Heng, I'll dig up your ancestors' graves!"
Make him endure it?
The courtyard was filled with beautiful concubines, each more stunning than the last. Only a pervert like Jing Heng could resist!
Jing Heng drew his sword.
Ruan Xi pointed at Jing Heng's legs, "Are you impotent? Can't stand me being potent?"
Yun Shu saw the two of them about to fight again and was utterly speechless.
It was a miracle they had both survived this long, given they always ended up fighting within moments of meeting.
"I'm tired. I'm going back to the General's mansion to sleep. You two can fight," Yun Shu waved her hand, unwilling to deal with them and preparing to leave.
Ruan Xi quickly grabbed Yun Shu, "Yun Shu, don't go! Do I really have to endure for two days?"
"Your life or your beauty, choose yourself. Get lost, don't delay me from going back to sleep." Yun Shu yawned. She hadn't slept well last night and was grateful to be going back to bed.
Besides, she hadn't seen Xiao Li in days and was determined to see him these next two days.
Ruan Xi looked pathetic, "Can the Qinghuo Pills really make me pure and desireless?"
"If your heart isn't calm, they're useless. It's a waste of the master's medicine," Jing Heng said coldly.
Ruan Xi gritted his teeth in anger, "Before you followed Yun Shu, you must have stolen a lot of my silver, right? That silver could buy countless Qinghuo Pills! Give them to me quickly!"
If he hadn't known clearly that the Qinghuo Pills sold outside were nowhere near as effective as those made by Yun Shu, would he be bothering to argue with Jing Heng?
Ahhhhhh!
He wanted to kill Jing Heng!
Seeing Yun Shu about to leave, Jing Heng was too lazy to argue with Ruan Xi and directly threw the bottle of Qinghuo Pills at him.
As he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Ruan Xi coldly, "If you eat even one, you won't be a man!"
"Are you the one who decides that? My concubines know if I'm a man or not," Ruan Xi caught the medicine bottle and gave Jing Heng a huge eye-roll.
Then, right in front of Jing Heng, he poured out a Qinghuo Pill, swallowed it, and made a face at Jing Heng.
Jing Heng's face turned as cold as ice from anger.
He didn't even want to look at Ruan Xi.
He thought Ruan Xi was the "dog man" his master had spoken of.
With everyone gone, Ruan Xi said dejectedly, "He has medicine but still wants to endure? He's not an idiot!"
...
Returning to the General's mansion, Yun Shu learned that Yun Changfeng had not returned.
However, a message had been sent back stating he would return to the capital tomorrow.
She went straight to her room, bathed, and then went straight to bed.
Not long after she lay down, A'Cha came out of her room.
She couldn't sleep and was about to go out to the courtyard to walk around the mansion when Jing Heng blocked her path.
"Jing Heng? I can't sleep, just taking a walk around the mansion," A'Cha explained to Jing Heng.
She had gone out of the mansion with Yu Le today, initially just to buy some things. But she hadn't expected to run into someone so coincidentally.
Someone who appeared out of nowhere.
Someone she wasn't prepared to see.
Someone she wanted to kill in her dreams at midnight.
She never expected to meet them like this.
Her legs went weak then, and Yu Le had supported her. She was annoyed by her reaction. In prison, she had thought of revenge constantly, only to find that when they saw her, they didn't recognize her at all. Only she had etched their faces deeply into her heart.
She kept them in her mind, daring not to forget.
Jing Heng grunted and let A'Cha pass.
A'Cha quietly murmured to herself in the silent General's mansion, "I absolutely cannot bring trouble to the young lady! I can't rush this. I can handle it myself. The young lady brought me out of prison, and she can handle her revenge herself! I must ensure I don't implicate the young lady."
After saying this, she seemed to calm down instantly.
Her previously restless and troubled heart was now completely serene.
She smiled self-mockingly.
She had returned.
The young lady's courtyard was very quiet.
As she entered her room, she glanced up at Jing Heng, who was lying on the roof, and felt a bit curious. He slept on the roof every night; wasn't he afraid of falling?
And he was always on alert.
When he had stopped her just now, there wasn't a hint of sleepiness in his eyes.
It was as if he was always awake.
What a peculiar person.
A'Cha chuckled inwardly, thinking she was also a peculiar person.
She glanced at the sky and knew she had to hurry back to sleep. She had to serve the young lady early in the morning.
...
In the hazy night.
Yun Shu, who was fast asleep, dreamt again.
The same dream as before.
In the dream were Yun Xiao Jing, Zhan Xiao Li, and a young boy.
That young boy stood with Yun Xiao Jing and Zhan Xiao Li, almost the same height.
But she could only see Yun Xiao Jing and Zhan Xiao Li's faces clearly, and the child's face was completely blurred.
Yet, she clearly heard him call, "Mother, Mother, Mother."
He said, "I need you, Mother."
"I miss you so much, Mother."
"Do I... really have a mother?"
"Why doesn't Mother want me?"
Over and over, the words echoed in the dream.
Yun Shu suddenly opened her eyes, waking from the dream.
She sat up.
She touched her cool forehead; she had a nightmare.
This time, the child in the dream spoke, and the helplessness in his voice clutched her heart.
Suddenly, an incredible thought flashed through her mind.
Was the stillborn child Yun Yue Yin had thrown to the wild dogs all those years ago truly stillborn?
Yun Yue Yin didn't have medical skills, and the original owner had no chance to see the child closely.
Perhaps, that child had been strong enough to survive.
Yun Shu fell into deep thought.
At the same time.
Yun Xiao Jing and Zhan Xiao Li were both lost in their dreams.
In their dreams, they saw the boy.
He was the same height as them, the same age.
But they couldn't see his face.
He said, "I'm back."
Yun Xiao Jing ran to call his brother.
Zhan Xiao Li called for his younger brother.
But the boy didn't answer them.
He just ran ahead, saying, "Don't you want me anymore?"
"Are you really my brothers?"
These questions, repeated over and over, startled Yun Xiao Jing and Zhan Xiao Li awake simultaneously.
Yun Xiao Jing blinked his big eyes, looking out the window. It wasn't even dawn yet. "What kind of messy dreams are these? If I wanted a brother, having Zhan Xiao Li is enough!"
He yawned and, with his carefree disposition, continued to sleep.
On the other side, Zhan Xiao Li, jolted awake, hadn't slept since.
He blinked his beautiful star-like eyes in the darkness.
"Younger brother? Why do I have two younger brothers in my dream?"
He had had similar dreams several times. People said dreams weren't real, but he had a strong intuition that this dream was true!
He pursed his lips. "When I see Mother, I must ask her! Maybe I really do have two younger brothers!"
At the same time.
Gu Xiao Feng, at the Regent's mansion, tossed and turned in his small bed.
His body was covered in cold sweat from the dream.
But there was no one in the room to wipe his sweat.
He felt uncomfortable and suddenly woke up.
"Brother, brother?" Gu Xiao Feng mumbled to himself, wiping his sweat with his sleeve.
And also...
Mother.
The mother in his dream was very gentle, a different kind of gentle than his foster mother.
Suddenly.
Someone pushed open the door.
"County Princess, the Regent said it's this child. Just don't play him to death, and send him back tomorrow."
