Chapter 981 Perhaps there is affection, yet there is no affection.
Chapter 981 Perhaps there is affection, yet there is no affection.
But he wasn't foolish enough to say it.
Instead, he went straight into the kitchen and hugged her from behind, saying, "Thank you for your help, sister-in-law!"
Feeling Chu Chen's warm and strong hands, Wang Guifang immediately broke free from him and walked to the kitchen doorway.
He called out to the servants, "Go back to your work, your master has something to discuss with me."
The servants immediately understood the reasoning and turned to leave the courtyard.
Next, in the kitchen, the table was overturned, and dumplings fell all over the floor.
The next day, Wenbo returned to the mansion early in the morning carrying a large box: "Chief Constable, these things have not been recorded in the accounts, please take a look!"
"You're quite good, so let's move you to the back!"
Upon hearing this, Wenbo immediately led his men to carry the box to the back warehouse.
Chu Chen then returned to his room.
Wang Guifang watched Chu Chen return, and then saw through the window that the officials were carrying a box containing silver.
Bian immediately understood that the silver must have been obtained through confiscation of property, and now that the silver was in the treasury, it was enough for him to live on for a lifetime.
So Qingxuan must have come to say goodbye.
"Qingxuan, are you leaving? But your sister-in-law wants to stay with you forever..."
Chu Chen laughed after hearing this: "Who said I was leaving? I just came to tell you that I need to talk to the city lord about Boss Ma."
"You can't just kill someone and then not say a word, can you? Don't worry, I won't leave. I'll always stay by your side and protect you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Guifang burst into tears and was choked with sobs, unable to speak.
Suddenly, she hugged Chu Chen tightly: "Qingxuan... I thought, I thought I would never see you again!"
"Your sister-in-law is a widow, and her reputation isn't good. Don't worry, she definitely won't stop you from getting married and having children. We'll just do it secretly... secretly!"
Chu Chen was overwhelmed with mixed feelings after hearing this.
Looking at the weak and helpless woman beside him, he realized that if she were in his own world, he couldn't find someone like her no matter how much dowry he received.
This means she got the marriage certificate, but didn't truly become a woman.
In the modern world, if you encountered someone like Wang Guifang before getting a marriage certificate, your ancestral graves would probably be blown up.
Moreover, he saw something called love in Wang Guifang, something that could make people give up everything for the sake of so-called love.
Even if it means living in darkness for the rest of my life, I would be willing to do it.
This must be love—something that allows living beings to disregard everything else, something that cannot be grasped or touched, but can only be felt, experienced, and comprehended with the heart.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, with no distance between them...
About an incense stick's time later, a glint of light flashed in Chu Chen's eyes.
"Another day to make money! I never thought I could make a profit from this!"
After silently finishing his thought, Chu Chen gently pushed Wang Guifang away, saying, "Alright, I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion now. You get some rest!"
"Qingxuan, hurry back! Your sister-in-law is waiting for you to come back and make dumplings for you!"
"good........"
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, heading straight for the main gate.
He didn't look back, because this parting would last a lifetime!
Soon after, Chu Chen's figure was swallowed up by the dense crowd of people on the streets of Shanba City, and he could no longer be seen at all.
It was as if he had never appeared in Shanba City.
Arriving at an abandoned house, Chu Chen entered the space with a thought.
Then the android machine was activated, and in the blink of an eye, a man who looked exactly like Chu Chen appeared in front of Chu Chen.
"From now on, you are me, I am Shanba City, do you understand?"
After giving the android some instructions and providing him with some firearms, Chu Chen sent him out of the space.
In the abandoned house, a "Chu Chen" who looked exactly like Chu Chen looked around and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
As night fell, Wang Guifang and "Chu Chen" continued their usual routine, enjoying delicious dumplings and playing fun games...
Everything was so ordinary.
Little did anyone know, in the darkness, a figure stood atop the house's wall, looking at everything inside, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
"Alas, it's a pity you're infertile!"
After saying that, he moved swiftly, passing through Shanba City, and then headed straight north.
He was like a star shining with white light, as if he had always stayed in Shanba City, or as if he had never been there at all.
Thirty days later, in Kyoto, far to the north.
On the main streets of Beijing.
A super luxurious carriage is slowly heading towards the palace.
Inside the carriage, a somewhat slick-haired man was holding a rare glass cup in one hand, containing some red liquid that emitted a captivating fragrance.
Two beautiful maids sat close to him.
While occasionally squeezing his arm with two large thunderbolts, she fed him some snacks and fruit.
"Oh dear... Qiuyue really knows how to serve people. Chunhua, those two things of yours are pressing down on me."
"Oh dear, young master, you're so naughty! But Chunhua likes it very much!"
"Haha, I'm glad you like it. You can wait for me at the inn across from the capital in a little while."
"I am going to see the Ninth Princess today. It would be bad if I left her with the impression of being a lecherous man."
As the man spoke, he lightly rubbed the two large thunderbolts hard before laughing and burying his head in the other side.
Hearing the sounds inside, the coachman couldn't help but spit on the horse's rump.
Thinking to himself, "What the hell? So what if he has a couple of stinking coins? How dare he be so reckless?"
Just as he was mentally cursing the young master and his ancestors three thousand six hundred times, a man's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.
"Stop right here, you fucking can't understand human language, can you? Stop right there!"
"Alright, sir, I was momentarily distracted, please forgive me!"
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the two girls reluctantly got off.
"Young master, will you come tonight?"
"Don't worry, I'll come and have a good chat with you all after I've finished dealing with things inside."
"Yes, young master, I will wait for you."
After the two girls finished speaking, they bowed to the carriage and then turned and walked toward the inn next door.
"Let's go, let's go to the palace, don't waste my time!"
"Alright, sir, please sit down!"
At the palace gate, two guards with swords stopped the carriage: "Who goes there? Do you have a visiting card? Please get out of the carriage and walk!"
"Greetings, sirs! You've worked hard... This is a visiting card!"
