Chapter 596: The Crisis Facing Marquis Yue
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Inside Zuixian Restaurant, Ye Lingyue was treating the wound of Feng Shen.
There were so many ceramic chips in his right hand that Ye Lingyue could only use the needle to get them out.
“Do you have a problem with the wine cup? Why did you break it into pieces?” Ye Lingyue was a little unhappy, her eyebrows knitted like two earthworms.
“Don’t frown. You will get wrinkles.” Feng Shen smiled and used his woundless left hand to rub Ye Lingyue’s eyebrows, trying to remove the wrinkles.
Ye Lingyue’s both hands were holding Feng Shen’s right hand. For a while, she did not pay attention to Feng Shen’s left hand which was caressing her face at his well.
Feng Shen grabbed some hair of Ye Lingyue and began playing with it.
“Then don’t hurt yourself next time. What did you say to Mr. Ye just now?” Ye Lingyue asked casually.
“Do you like Mr. Ye very much?” Feng Shen’s tone was a little unnatural and could even reveal a sense of jealousy.
Feng Shen had never seen the way Ye Lingyue looked at Ye Beiming before.
Ye Beiming was a man that could draw the attention of any woman.
Feng Shen could see that Ye Beiming treated Ye Lingyue differently.
When he was dealing with others, Ye Beiming was so cold that even the air could freeze. When he saw his wife and Ye Lingyue, however, he showed great tenderness and care.
Fortunately, Feng Shen could tell that Ye Beiming showed Ye Lingyue the kind of tenderness that did not exist between lovers.
Ye Beiming was a devoted husband and the woman beside him was his true love for life.
“Men like Mr. Ye will not invite hatred. He is powerful, and loyal to his wife. Mrs. Ye has told me that they have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations before getting together. They have even faced partings in life or death.” Ye Lingyue said with a mild tone and her eyes showed great hope towards love.
Hong Fang’s existence made Ye Lingyue lose all hope in romantic relationships, while the love between Yunsheng and Ye Beiming showed a classical example of marital happiness in Ye Lingyue’s mind. If she could also have such a life after marriage...
Ye Lingyue shivered. What was she thinking about? After marriage?
It was all due to Mrs. Ye’s words. Just now, Ye Lingyue talked a lot with Mrs. Ye who asked whether she loved someone.
Ye Lingyue was embarrassed and answered no. But she somehow thought of Feng Shen. Most strangely, a golden mask appeared in her mind then.
Such a thought nearly scared Ye Lingyue to death.
She didn’t expect she could care about two men at the same time.
Then Ye Lingyue began to disdain herself.
Due to her distraction, her hand shook suddenly. Then Feng Shen’s wound started bleeding ceaselessly.
Ye Lingyue hurried to stop the bleeding with Dan pills. Feng Shen frowned since he wrongly believed that Ye Lingyue had been distracted due to her affection for a powerful man like Ye Beiming.
Few women in the world could resist the charm of such a powerful and devoted man.
Maybe he should clearly think about the words of Mr. Ye.
If Feng Shen could coexist with Wu Chong, he could then protect Ye Lingyue well. But could he really control Wu Chong?
Ye Lingyue and Feng Shen had their own worries respectively. After a while, Feng Shen’s hand was bounded up.
Lan Cai’er walked out with the mother and the child.
Yunsheng’s medical skills were truly excellent. She could cure the wounds even Xue Pianran could not cure. Moreover, the child could move around after just a moment.
Just now, Lan Cai’er took the mother and the child downstairs for cleaning and dining. After they came back and stood in front of Ye Lingyue, the appearance of the mother and the child was totally changed.
The child was still weak, but cleaning had rendered him quite nice-looking.
The mother did not look like an ordinary beggar.
“Thank you for saving my child and me. Son, bow to our lifesavers.” The mother knew that they would have been beaten to death if they hadn’t met Ye Lingyue today.
She hurried to make her child kneel and kowtow to Ye Lingyue.
“Madam, you are welcome. You don’t look like beggars. Why do you have to roam the streets in the Xia City?” Ye Lingyue felt strange.
“We are villagers from Zizhu Mountain. We used to live a happy life in the mountain.” The woman spoke frankly.
It turned out that the mother and the child came from elsewhere.
Several months ago, it was said that the rare Qiankun Zijin Bamboo Forest was found around the Zizhu Mountain.
Later, a large number of mercenaries and evil forces from the Central Plains flooded there.
They occupied the local villages and killed numerous villagers. Those that luckily survived then fled away.
The woman’s husband died when trying to protect them. Later, the mother and the child fled together with some other villagers.
They had intended to flee to the North Qing, asking for help. But the North Qing said Zizhu Mountain was not within the range of their protection and prevented them from entering the city.
The mother and the child and other villagers were so helpless that they entered Da Xia and begged all the way to the Xia City. After arriving there, however, the government also said that Zizhu Mountain didn’t belong to its territory.
That was what had happened. The woman wiped off her tears painfully.
They could settle down nowhere. They could not return to their homeland which was already occupied by the villains. They had no identification papers so they could find no work. Then they had no choice but to beg on the street in the Xia City. Today, the child was suddenly given a good beating.
“This is outrageous. How can the government disregard all their miseries? Please tell me where Zizhu Mountain is. I will ask my father to send troops to kill all the gangsters.” Lan Cai’er banged on the table and looked angry.
Cai’er, don’t rush into decisions. I have told you to read more but you don’t listen to me. Now, even if you try to beg your father, he may not agree to dispatch soldiers there.”
Ye Lingyue rubbed between her eyebrows and held back Lan Cai’er who was in a rage.
“Why? Does this have anything to do with reading books? Is there anything wrong with Zizhu Mountain?” Lan Cai’er was curious.
“Miss Lan, if you have read books, you will know that Zizhu Mountain is a special area.”
Feng Shen explained to Lan Cai’er smilingly.
Since the ancient times, Zizhu Mountain had been a disputed area between Da Xia and the North Qing. Even warriors in the realm of reincarnation were deterred from stepping on that land because of the harsh conditions and dangers lurking there.
The soldiers of the North Qing and Da Xia had entered there before. Strangely, a whole army disappeared all of a sudden.
As time went by, the two states were unwilling to manage Zizhu Mountain. That was why both governments expelled the refugees from Zizhu Mountain.
“Then what should we do? We cannot see them remaining homeless and do nothing.” Lan Cai’er scratched her head.
“We can do something. Zizhu Mountain had been unmanaged. Several days ago, however, someone took over the area.” Feng Shen smiled.
“Who?” Lan Cai’er asked curiously.
“It is me. Haha, I remember that the land Xia Houqi has given to me includes Zizhu Mountain exactly.” Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes, suddenly realizing she had fallen into a big pit dug by Xia Houqi.
