Chapter 387 Da Yu'er's Dilemma
Wang Wenzhou glanced back at Da Yu'er, a tear rolling down his cheek. Knowing he had embarrassed himself by crying in front of the children, Wang Wenzhou quickly left the room.
Da Yu'er fought back her tears. She knew she couldn't cry now; if she did, she wouldn't be able to return to Liaodong. Da Yu'er was torn. On one hand, she wanted to go back to Liaodong, after all, it was her home, where her family and friends were. But on the other hand, she wondered why she didn't want to leave Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou stepped out, wiped the tears from his face, and smiled slightly. His acting skills were still quite impressive; he just wondered if his little Da Yu'er would be moved to stay. Actually, Wang Wenzhou's feelings for Da Yu'er were strange. At first, he treated her like a simplified version of Liu Rushi. He could tease and bully her in various ways without worrying about her getting angry. But over time, his teasing had genuinely developed into feelings.
Wang Wenzhou found this feeling strange too. He clearly didn't like Dayuer, yet he couldn't bear to part with her. Compared to when he saw Sun Rurui off, Wang Wenzhou was even more heartbroken now. He waited blankly outside the door for half an hour, expecting Dayuer to rush out and cry, begging him to go to sleep, but Dayuer didn't come out.
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed, realizing he had been deluding himself.
Wang Wenzhou arrived at Wang Ying's room with a long face. He actually wanted to go to Liu Rushi's room to cry, but Liu Xiaohua was there, and Wang Wenzhou was afraid of waking Liu Xiaohua and being scolded by Liu Rushi.
Wang Wenzhou climbed into bed. Wang Ying opened her eyes, smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Why are you so late? Go to sleep."
Wang Wenzhou said, feeling wronged, "Sister-in-law, I've been dumped again!"
"What happened?" Wang Ying quickly rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up.
Wang Wenzhou, with a mournful face, said aggrievedly, "That little bitch Dayu'er has fallen for someone else and doesn't love me anymore!"
Wang Wenzhou told Wang Ying about wanting to send Dayuer away, but being reluctant to let her go.
Wang Ying shook her head with a wry smile. This rascal is such a sentimental person. You bully her all day long, how could she possibly fall in love with you? She'd probably rather strangle you!
"Alright, if you don't want to let her go, then leave her here!" Wang Ying said.
"I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I'm too heartbroken. I'm going to find Jiaojiao to have some milk." After saying that, Wang Wenzhou jumped off the bed and strolled away.
Wang Ying shook her head with a wry smile. This rascal is a madman. You'll never understand what he's thinking.
……
At this moment, Zhe Zhe and the others gradually recovered from their shock. After all, they never expected that Wang Wenzhou would let them go so easily.
Zhe Zhe said, "It seems that Dorgon was behind Wang Wenzhou's assassination."
Da Yu'er nodded and said, "Even if we are not in Wang Wenzhou's hands, the Emperor will not assassinate Wang Wenzhou. This is because the Emperor wants to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, while Dorgon wants to take advantage of the war to seize military power."
Hailanzhu said fiercely, "Dorgon is a wolf in sheep's clothing. After we return to Liaodong, we will definitely have the Emperor execute him!"
Zhe Zhe said with a wry smile, "Don't talk nonsense. We must not lose our composure. Wang Wenzhou said this in front of us because he wants us to go back and tell the Emperor, so that the Qing Dynasty will fall into internal strife while the Ming Dynasty can reap the benefits."
Hailanzhu said angrily, "Then we can't just not tell the Emperor that Dorgon is colluding with Wang Wenzhou to commit treason!"
Da Yu'er smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, sister. When that madman Wang Wenzhou took me to negotiate, I secretly informed Hauge."
Hailanzhu nodded, "That's good."
Da Yu'er suddenly remembered that during the peace talks, Wang Wenzhou had kissed and touched her, all of which had been witnessed by Haoge. Now that things had come to this, how could she return to Liaodong? How could she face the Emperor?
Seeing Dayuer's worried face, Zhe Zhe suddenly remembered Wang Wenzhou's actions these past few days. Dayuer had only been yielding to Wang Wenzhou to protect us. Thinking of this, Zhe Zhe quickly said, "We are all family. During the time we were kidnapped by Wang Wenzhou, some things happened that none of us wanted. After we go back, we'll forget about it and act as if nothing happened."
Dayu'er's eyes were filled with tears; her aunt was still the most sensible.
Hailanzhu and Borjigit nodded. They had also been taken advantage of by Wang Wenzhou. In any case, none of them were innocent. If they went back and spread rumors, they would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Zhe Zhe gently patted Dayu'er's shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, don't cry. Who told us to be women? Compared to men, women are always at a disadvantage in some things! Sometimes I think, if there is an afterlife, I would never be a woman again."
"Yes!" Da Yu'er nodded, crying even harder. She suddenly regretted it deeply; she really should have stayed instead of returning to Liaodong. But if she stayed, what would happen to her family and friends in Liaodong? What would they think of her? Why is it that when a man falls in love with someone else, he is considered a romantic and talented man, but if a woman does the same, she is condemned as fickle and promiscuous?
……
Before dawn, Wang Wenzhou sent people to see Dayuer and the others off. Wang Wenzhou didn't go to see Dayuer off; he felt like he'd just lost a lover. A fickle man—no, a man of broad affection—always feels that the girl he likes should like him back.
Even if what he likes is simply having sex, if he finds out that the girl doesn't like him back, he feels like he's been dumped.
In the morning, Lu Xiang-sheng sent someone to deliver a message that the people who were stopped in Datong were released last night and should arrive soon. Lu Xiang-sheng also said that he was too busy with official duties to come and see Wang Wen-zhou off.
Wang Wenzhou was so angry that he cursed loudly: "That bastard Lu Xiang Sheng is so disrespectful to me! Even if it were the current Grand Secretary Wen Tiren, when I went to his house, he would respectfully see me off at the gate."
Zhang Jiao advised, "Husband, don't be angry. Didn't you say that the more you treat some people like human beings, the less they will treat you like human beings, and vice versa? Just stop treating Lu Xiang Sheng like a human being from now on."
Wang Wenzhou nodded, kissed Zhang Jiao, and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao is so good. It's time for me to have breakfast."
Zhang Jiao shook her head with a wry smile. She was Sun Xiaohua's biological mother, but ever since she came to her nemesis's side, she had become his wet nurse. Poor Sun Xiaohua could only drink her wet nurse's milk. Moreover, her nemesis couldn't see her wet nurse, because he had a criminal record.
As noon approached, the female guard that Dorgon had prepared for Wang Wenzhou slowly entered the camp.
Not far from the camp, Lu Xiang-sheng, mounted on his horse, shook his head repeatedly in anger. At first, he thought these people were Wang Wen-zhou's smuggling caravan. Later, he sent people to investigate overnight and learned that they were all beautiful young women.
Upon learning this, Lu Xiang-sheng was both amused and exasperated! He guessed that Wang Wen-zhou had bought these girls while on a mission in Liaodong. Could a lecherous man like Wang Wen-zhou possibly fight a war? Taking these long-legged girls on horseback to war? What if they failed to win a battle and instead provided entertainment for the enemy? Lu Xiang-sheng turned his horse around, intending to return and immediately impeach Wang Wen-zhou.
