Chapter 87 The City Lord Is Sick 19(1/2)
Yue Linze was shocked, then fluttered like a salted fish eager to turn over, and broke himself off the rope. After falling to the ground, he ignored the wounds on his body and said in a hoarse voice: "You, didn't you say that you won't ruin my Wushu City?"
"I said I wouldn't let you die, and I didn't see you listening to me." Tao Yu glared at him, and was about to continue saying something, but suddenly he saw that there were already traces of ropes with deep flesh on his neck. At this moment, the wound was turning blood outward, looking shocking.
She didn't even bother to say anything, and hurriedly helped him sit on the chair, checked the wound and ran to get the medicine box.
Yue Linze sat there quietly watching her running around, and had a vague premonition in his heart, but before Tao Yu spoke, he didn't dare to think about it.
After taking the thing, Tao Yu began to help him clear his wounds. While cleaning, he frowned and said, "Others hang themselves with white silk. You can do it. Just take a rope and start hanging them. I'm not afraid of strangling you to death!"
"...I just don't want to live anymore," Yue Linze's vocal cords hurt and his voice changed. He looked at Tao Yu calmly, "When I know that my life is not linked to Wuhuancheng, you don't know how happy I am."
Tao Yu glanced at him, pinched his chin and made him tilt his head, and began to apply medicine to his neck: "What, guilt?"
After she asked, she didn't care. She began to bandage him intently. After she got the wound, she realized that he had not spoken for a long time. Tao Yu raised her head in confusion and happened to see a tear slowly falling from the corner of his eyes, but he looked calm, as if the one who had been losing Jindoudou was not him.
Tao Yu looked at him strangely, and after a while, he stretched out his finger to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, pinched his face and said, "I just feel sorry for me?"
"...I'm so scared. I have to endure a life without you for decades. I'm so afraid that I will not have a soul after death and will never be able to meet you again in the next life." Yue Linze said tremblingly.
Tao Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then slowly said after a long time: "Okay, since I am willing to come back, I came for you. Now that I am angry, I have avenged my revenge, and this matter has passed... Yue Linze, if I come back, will you still dare to lie to me?"
"...Are you going to come back?" Yue Linze had a vague feeling just now, but when he heard it with his own ears, he still felt incredible. He did such a disgusting thing...
"Okay, don't think about it in a mess," Tao Yu glanced at him, "Since I feel sorry for me, I'll treat me better in the future. It's better to obey my will and spoil me well, do you know?"
"I know, I know, if you are willing to give me a chance, then I will..." Yue Linze said this and his mouth began to be bald. He didn't say a word or two for a while. He could only look at Tao Yu timidly, afraid that she would despise him.
Tao Yu touched his head, sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "First of all, restore my house. Who is disgusting to build a pool there?"
"Okay, I'll go now." Yue Linze stood up, took two steps outside and turned back, looking at her with a silence.
Tao Yu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"This is for you." Yue Linze covered the things in his hand and placed them on the ground with a slight silence. The first thing Tao Yu saw was the dense pinholes in his hand.
She frowned immediately. When she was about to ask him what was going on, he had turned around and ran away, and his back looked very hurried. Tao Yu chuckled, looked down at the table, and then was stunned.
There was a small sandbag on top, which was a bit rough, but it was obvious that it was thoughtful. Tao Yu picked up the thing in a daze, and the soybeans inside trembled a few times. When he looked closer, he saw that there were many pinholes on it. It was thought that it was because it had been dismantled and sewn many times before he could barely achieve such an effect.
Tao Yu remembered the fact that he and the scholar sewed sandbags and met Yue Linze, and couldn't help but smile on the corner of his lips.
That night, Tao Yu walked to Niannian and delivered the sandbag in her hand to her: "Here, the sandbag you want."
Niannian saw it and cheered, held it in her hand and played for a long time before she happily raised her head: "Empress, you are the most beautiful, mine is the most beautiful!"
"I didn't sew this one, I bought it." Tao Yu blinked at her.
Nian Nian was still very happy. She had long forgotten what she had made to ask Tao Yu to do by herself. Tao Yu looked at her clumsy throwing the sandbag around, thought for a while and took off all the things on her face in the inner room, then took off her heavy outfit, revealing her beautiful appearance.
She looked at the face with distinct facial features in the bronze mirror, and felt a little nervous, afraid that if she just went out like this, she would scare Niannian. But if she took off her face in front of Niannian, wouldn’t she be even more scared of the little thing? So after weighing the pros and cons, Tao Yu decided to remove the disguise first.
...I just don't know if Niannian hates her because of this. If she doesn't like her much in the future, she will feel very uncomfortable.
Tao Yu pursed her lips and finally took a deep breath and went out. Niannian was still lowering her head to play with the sandbag, obviously she didn't see her. She paused for a moment, plucked up the courage and shouted: "Niannian..."
Niannian raised her head in confusion, and when she saw her eyes wide, the sandbag in her hand fell to the ground. Tao Yu felt even more nervous in her heart. While she was thinking about how to explain, Niannian got up from the ground and asked loudly: "Grandma, why have you lost weight?"
"Hmm?" Tao Yu was shocked.
Niannian ran to her with her little feet and said worriedly: "Grandpa said it's a disease to lose weight. Madam, are you sick?"
"Ah... no, no, I'm just so thin," Tao Yu tried his best to explain, "It's just that the weather was too cold before, so I dressed very thickly, so I looked a little fatter."
Niannian tilted her head: "It's cold now, so I'm wearing more clothes, don't get sick."
"Well, I'm wearing a lot now, don't worry Niannian." Tao Yu said gentlely.
Niannian smiled and then turned around and continued to play with sandbags. Tao Yu looked at the heart-warming little thing and warmed up. He thought it was right to use fake pregnancy to make her feel compassionate. She liked such a cute little thing for only a few days. If she was really taken care of by her, she would definitely be even more reluctant to leave it.
Tao Yu looked at Niannian with a smile until he saw that the sky was almost gone, and then reminded him: "It's time for dinner."
Niannian looked at the new toy reluctantly, wanting to stay and play, but she felt hungry again and wanted to eat delicious food. Tao Yu saw her entanglement and said funny: "You can go with a sandbag, but you have to wait until you finish your meal before playing."
Niannian's eyes lit up and she quickly agreed, so Tao Yu took her hand and walked towards the dining room. This time, Tao Yu took off all the disguise on her body, and walked forward with Niannian in her original appearance, and gained many shocked eyes along the way. Some of them were uneasy, and even because she accidentally fell.
Tao Yu, no matter how they looked at it, just took Niannian to walk her own way. When she arrived at the dining room, the butler accidentally knocked over a plate when she saw her. She became uneasy after her favorite braised pork fell to the ground.
"Can't you be careful? What a pity." Tao Yu felt so distressed that even Niannian's hand was loosened.
The butler looked at her in shock, and after a while he reacted, he said tremblingly: "Madam?"
Tao Yu's eyes were already stopped on the dirty braised pork. He heard him scream and raised his head. After looking at him, he remembered that he should hold some, so he immediately stood up straight: "What?"
"...When did you come back?" The housekeeper smiled and talked to her, while carefully waved to Niannian, wanting to bring the child behind him.
Niannian was still thinking about the sandbag in her hand and did not notice the butler's gesture. Tao Yu could see clearly and took Niannian to the table and said leisurely: "Okay, I don't plan to do anything to you, go what you should do."
The expression on the butler's face froze for a moment: "Look at what you said, it seems like I am so cautious about you..."
"Are you not prepared?" Tao Yu looked at him with a smile.
The housekeeper forced a smile and said without saying anything, "You, how did you come back?" In fact, what he wanted to ask more was how you were resurrected after you were killed, but he didn't dare to ask directly, for fear that she would hurt the lady in a mad way.
"I'm just back like that. Since I'm not an ordinary person, I naturally need some skills that ordinary people don't have." Tao Yu said lightly, "Don't worry, I'm a living person, not a ghost."
The housekeeper wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tao Yu's eyes. He didn't dare to continue talking. He could only pray that Yue Linze would not come back at this time, so as not to remind her of something bad.
However, things didn't go as expected. The more he thought so, the earlier Yue Linze came back. As soon as Tao Yu sat down, Yue Linze hurried back from outside. When he saw Tao Yu, he smiled hurriedly and sat next to her hesitantly.
Tao Yu glanced at him and brought him a pair of bowls and chopsticks. The first thing Yue Linze did when he took it was to pick up food for the two little girls. The butler looked at everything in front of him in a daze, a little at a loss. Looking at the attitude of the city lord and the lady, it seemed that the wife had been back for a long time, but how did he remember that he had just returned?
"Butler, there is nothing wrong here, you can go back first." The exploration in his eyes was too obvious, but now it is not the time to talk about this, Yue Linze can only send him away first.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and saw Yue Linze insisting, he had to go out first. After going out, he still felt uneasy, so he called a few guards to guard the door. If he heard any strange movement inside, he would ask them to go in and save the person immediately.
In the dining room, as soon as the butler left, Niannian looked at Yue Linze happily: "Dad, please give me a sandbag!"
Yue Linze was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Tao Yu. Seeing Tao Yu eating as usual, he felt a little sad, but he still smiled reluctantly: "Just like Niannian."
Although it's okay to play with your daughter, he thought she wanted it, so he had only been doing it for a few nights, but he didn't expect that she didn't take it seriously and gave it to Nian Nian in a blink of an eye.
Tao Yu noticed the depressed aura next to him and couldn't help but glance at the side. As soon as she saw Yue Linze's look aggrieved but dare not say anything, she was surprised for a moment, and then she understood why he was depressed.
"Niannian, let your sandbag show your father." Tao Yu ordered.
Yue Linze hurriedly cheered up: "No need, let's have a meal first, and we won't see it after eating..."
Niannian dada ran to him and raised the sandbag in his hand to his eyes. Yue Linze looked at the well-made sandbag and couldn't react for a moment.
"Niannian, I haven't told you yet. I have a sandbag here, but it's not as good as you." Tao Yu said coldly, taking out a sandbag with rough stitches from his arms, "Do you want to change it with me?"
"No!" Niannian hurriedly stuffed her sandbag into her arms to protect her, because she was afraid that Tao Yu would forcefully exchange her ugly sandbag for her to look good, so she didn't even dare to go there, so she sat next to Yue Linze and started eating.
Tao Yu sneered, and just in time he was free, so he lowered his head and started eating. Yue Linze couldn't help laughing when he saw Niannian's sandbag. Now he saw Tao Yu take out the sandbag from his arms and was even more happy. At the end of the meal, he had half of the rice left in the bowl, but his eyes were satisfied enough.
Tao Yu ate all three bowls of rice. Seeing that there was still half a bowl in Yue Linze's bowl, he helped him solve it. He felt that he was overwhelmed and got up: "Niannian, let's go."
"Where do you go?" Yue Linze hurriedly stood up.
Tao Yu glanced at him: "Of course I'm going back to rest."
"...Oh." Yue Linze's lips moved, his face turned red and he couldn't say the words "What should I do?"
How could Tao Yu not see his expression? He walked to the door with Niannian and looked at him: "So, fix my house quickly. If there is a little difference, I won't live there."
"..." Yue Linze blinked, but he didn't react for a while. After he realized that Tao Yu had disappeared, he ran to the door and shouted ok in the direction where she disappeared.
The voice came from a long distance, and Nian Nian raised her head in confusion: "Empress, Dad is calling."
"Don't worry about him, you're going crazy." Tao Yu said. Niannian nodded, obediently ignored him.
After Yue Linze shouted, the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many years was slightly relieved, and he finally felt much more comfortable. Just as he was going back and drawing the drawings overnight, the housekeeper appeared in front of him secretly and looked at him nervously: "City Lord, is the lady gone?"
Yue Linze paused, pursed his lips and said, "Let's talk."
The housekeeper was stunned and followed him to the study room. The two of them chatted in the study room for a long time, but the lanterns next to the streets in the city were all gone.
After hearing Yue Linze's words, the housekeeper looked at him with a complicated face: "Master Lord, have you ever thought about it, if she is still lying to you..."
"I... admit it this time," Yue Linze lowered his eyes, "Since I had this ability at the age of fourteen, I have never been myself for a day. This time I want to try to be myself."
The shadow of the candle was beating on the window, and Yue Linze's outline seemed particularly thin under the lights that were unstable. The housekeeper felt a thrill.
"Butler, I'm not that important, right? If she really wants to destroy this city, even without my existence, she can do it, right?" Yue Linze looked at the Butler without blinking, as if she wanted to get some recognition.
The butler looked at the begging in his eyes and couldn't speak for a moment. Since the city lord took over, he felt that although the city lord was innocent, he was powerful. This was the first time he saw fragility on the city lord's face, as if he was walking thousands of miles away, only one nodded.
The housekeeper took a deep breath, his eyes a little wet: "You have to make sure she won't take revenge on you."
"She doesn't know..." Yue Linze paused after saying that, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Even if she can, I'm willing."
Guan looked at him in a daze, and after a long time he sighed from his throat: "It's good that you're happy." He hasn't felt as relieved as he is now for many years. He can't remember it anymore. Since death can become a kind of relief for him, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of.
This time, Wushang City has him, so he supports the city lord.
Yue Linze talked to the housekeeper until late at night before leaving the study room and walked towards Niannian's villa. Like every night before, he leaned against the railing in front of their door and looked at the stars, and did not leave until dawn.
In just a few days, the entire Wuhuan City learned about the return of the city lord's wife. Tao Yu found Yue Linze after hearing about this incident and insisted that he use his own method to correct her name. So three days later, Wuhuan City began to spread the news that the city lord's wife had left because she was terminally ill and could not bear to see the sadness of the city lord.
The people of Wuhuan City who had scolded her for a while felt guilty and felt that they had misunderstood such a good wife, and they felt uncomfortable. The people's way of making up for it was simple and simple. They all took out the best things from their homes to send them to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion had gained enough food for several years in a short time.
Yue Linze looked at the two rows of bacon hanging in the courtyard and frowned: "Why do you say you have a terminal illness? It's so unlucky."
"If you stop them from spreading rumors at the beginning, I don't need to say that." Tao Yu glanced at him and ate the candied haws given by the fat man next door.
