206 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Martial Arts‧Whoring Brother-in-law (16)

Lu Zheng became weaker and weaker day by day. No matter how much Ye Xuan begged, he refused to take the medicine.Ye Xuan even invited Mrs. Lu. Facing his mother’s hysterical crying, Lu Zheng struggled to sit up with a calm expression: “Mom, there are some things I have never said to you. Now that I don’t have much time, I might as well say it.”

Mrs. Lu just couldn’t stop crying. She didn’t know why her beloved son was determined to die. After realizing that she was completely unable to persuade Lu Zheng, she was overwhelmed by panic and grief in an instant.The son she had been looking forward to and guarded with all her strength, all her hopes and pursuits were devoted to Lu Zheng. Now, this son actually told her that he was not willing to live anymore.

“I’m very tired.” Lu Zheng whispered. Living was a tiring thing for him from beginning to end.

His memory will always be surrounded by his mother’s cries, the smell of medicine filling the room, and everyone looking at him with sympathy and love. They pitied him and knew that he was a dying person, so they all followed him.But at the same time, he has no freedom. He can’t practice martial arts, ride a horse, or even leave home to relax somewhere farther away. He can only stay in this small world forever, looking at the sky that has never changed in more than 20 years.

Marrying Ye Xuan was the thing he regretted most in his life, and it was also the happiest thing.It was like a pale page was dyed with a completely unfamiliar bright color. Ye Xuan did not belong to Lingyun Village, and did not belong to this cramped world that made him breathless. When he saw the girl for the first time, Lu Zheng thought that she was completely different.

But she was slowly being swallowed up, and as she worked day after day, her brightness became increasingly dim.Let her go, so Lu Zheng made up his mind. He knew there was no way to do it. How could a tied up whining bird get happiness.

Now, he is finally free.

“Mom, I’m really tired.” Carrying his mother’s expectations and being forced to hate his younger brother, he has been suppressing himself for so many years. Even his mother forced him to marry a wife. Although he was unwilling in every possible way, he finally had to compromise, “You forced me to get married.Forcing me to give birth to a child, you treat everyone around me as your enemy, and you will humiliate them at will if you don’t like it.” Lu Zheng knew that not only his wife, but also his wet nurse, maids and servants who served him were all the targets for Mrs. Lu to vent her grievances.The reason for Mrs. Lu’s resentment was simply that his health was not improving, so the people around him were not taking good care of him.

Lu Zheng still remembered that he was very young at that time. Because he suddenly developed a high fever, Mrs. Lu was so angry that she drove all the servants around him out of Lingyun Village.Among them were Lu Zheng’s closest nanny, who had been with him since he was a baby, and his sister, who had told Lu Zheng a story the night before. The little sister smiled so tenderly.But they were all driven away without his mother asking him if he wanted to.

“I don’t blame you,” Lu Zheng smiled, “I just don’t want to suppress myself anymore,” he looked at Mrs. Lu. The anger on the woman’s face gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of pity and confusion.She probably couldn’t have imagined that this was how her son viewed her, and the love she devoted to her son was actually a rope that tightened around Lu Zhen’s neck. “If there is an afterlife,” Lu Zheng paused and said the last words that crushed her, “I hope we will no longer be mother and son.”

When Ye Xuan returned to the main room, Lu Zheng had already fallen asleep.She didn’t know what Lu Zheng and Mrs. Lu said, but she just heard people talking. Mrs. Lu was so lost that she even seemed to be stumbling when she walked.

Is there… no other way out? If even her mother can’t dissuade Lu Zheng, Ye Xuan doesn’t know what else can do to reverse his will to die.She sat on the stone steps, and the yard was silent, just like that night when she cried outside the door, and Lu Jin came over and pulled her into his arms.Today, the vegetation is still the same and the people are completely different.

Lu Zheng probably didn’t realize that he and his mother were actually the same stubborn people.He stubbornly believed that this was for Ye Xuan’s good, but he did not expect that how many people could enjoy the freedom built on his death with peace of mind.If he really died for Ye Xuan, I’m afraid Ye Xuan wouldn’t be able to be happy in this life.She will live with regret and guilt for the rest of her life, and she will never be able to be with Lu Jin.

Forget it, forget it, now that you have broken up with that person, don’t think about it anymore.Ye Xuan knew that she had wrongly blamed Lu Jin, but Ye Xuan no longer planned to mend the relationship between them.That was fine. She stood up and patted the dust stains on her skirt. Just as she was about to push the door open, her hand stopped.

“A-Xuan.” After an unknown amount of time, in this stagnant silence, the man finally spoke.

He lost weight. Ye Xuan turned around and saw a man in green clothes standing in the moonlight. She thought of the love they had on the roof for no reason. The moonlight was so bright at that time.”Ninth brother,” she smiled, “I am your sister-in-law. Please don’t call me that in the future.”

Lu Jin was not angry. Most of his face was hidden in the gloom. Ye Xuan couldn’t see his expression clearly. She could only hear him saying lightly: “Sister-in-law, what do you mean… is that there is no chance for us anymore?”

Yes, Ye Xuan wanted to answer so decisively, but the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say it anyway. “My husband did not take the medicine sent by Yaowang Valley,” she said softly, as if she was explaining to Lu Jin, but it was just to convince herself again, “He has decided to die, for me… for meWe, I can’t help it,” the girl’s voice was choked with sobs, “I can’t help watching him sacrifice, I’ve already thought about it,” she took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Lu Jin’s eyes full of determination, “If he is willing to listen to my advice, then I will stay with him for the rest of his life. If he is not willing to listen, I will stay with him for the rest of his life.”

When he is alive, I will be his wife; when he dies, I can only go to hell with him.

The courtyard became quiet again, the night wind blew through the branches, and the rustling sound sounded like sobbing.After a long time, Ye Xuan heard the man’s low and hoarse voice: “Really?” He seemed to be smiling bitterly, and the dull voice seemed to be choked, “I know, I know…” He murmured. This was the first time Ye Xuan saw Lu Jin acting so lost.But the gaffe was only for a moment. He quickly calmed down and looked at Ye Xuan indifferently, looking at the woman he loved deeply, “Since you have already thought about it, I can make a decision.”
