Black Belly Wife

Chapter 187

When Chu Changge was brought in front of the 'boss' as the brothel madam called it, he was so stunned that he thought he was hallucinating for a moment. "Yunshu, how could it be you?" He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Murong Yunshu did not answer his question. She looked at him in silence for a moment with an expressionless face before saying indifferently, "What are you going to use to pay off your debts? Leader Chu."

Murong Yunshu's 'Leader Chu' instantly threw Chu Changge to eternal d*mnation. After a long moment of bewilderment, he asked, "What debt are you referring to?"

Murong Yunshu: "Of course, it's the wine debt."

"Wine debt......" Chu Changge murmured with a wry smile. "Wine debt, naturally, should be paid with silver."

Murong Yunshu: "You can't afford it."

Chu Changge: "It's just a few jars of wine. How expensive can it be?"

"Flower wine is not like ordinary wine. A sip of it costs much more than the usual wine, let alone a few jars."

Murong Yunshu's voice was calm, but Chu Changge heard something different from it, which immediately made him feel good. "Mister Shi Er, do you smell anything sour?" He smilingly asked Mister Shi Er behind him.

Mister Shi Er had long been drunk and delirious, so how could he know how to cooperate with him? "Sour smell? No. Where's the sour smell? Where is the sour smell......?" asked the confused Mister Shi Er, while rubbing his nose against the brothel madam's body. As he was rubbing happily, a hand suddenly appeared next to him and fiercely grabbed his ear, "I've told you not to drink flower wine. I've already told you not to drink flower wine......"

"It hurts......it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......" Mister Shi Er grimaced, making him half sober.

Yun Si Niang let go of her hand and grumpily rebuked him, "Fancy that you still know how to feel hurts!"

Mister Shi Er looked at her drunkenly and suddenly laughed.

Yun Si Niang blushed when he looked at her, stomped her foot in annoyance and dragged him out of the room.

Seeing Yun Si Niang and Mister Shi Er leave, the old brothel madam also followed along tactfully.

At that time, only Murong Yunshu and Chu Changge were left in the room, with their eyes facing each other.

The wind was blowing wildly outside the room, causing the doors and windows to creak and rattle, but it was deathly still inside the room. No matter how the wind blew, it seemed that it could not dissipate the invisible wall between them.

After a long time, Chu Changge suddenly stumbled onto a chair while holding his forehead with a painful expression.

Murong Yunshu's heart also missed a beat, and her eyes were full of unhidden worry.

"What did you put in the wine?" Chu Changge asked. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.

Murong Yunshu wanted to go over to see what was wrong with him, but just as the soles of her feet left the ground, she put them back down again. She hid the worry on her face and answered calmly. "Of course, there are things that added to the wine in the brothel. As for what was actually put inside and how much, that depends on your luck."

Chu Changge's face became increasingly ugly as it turned bleak and bloodless pale. "Yunshu, I'm serious." He held his head in his hands, his voice filled with pain.

In response, Murong Yunshu's heart trembled violently. Isn't it just an aphrodisiac?

Seeing Murong Yunshu's lack of response, Chu Changge stopped asking questions and crossed his legs to run his energy to force the poison out. As soon as he did, the headache intensified, and his whole head felt like it was about to explode. He rubbed his temples, and the headache subsided a little before he stood up again and looked at Murong Yunshu. His face was expressionless. "Miss Murong." His thin lips lightly opened, "The wine debt I owe I will repay you later. I have something to do now. So I will have to leave first."

Murong Yunshu's heart had already softened, but at this moment, his use of the word 'Miss Murong' provoked some irritation in her. She raised her face and said, "I've never heard of someone who drinks flower wine on credit."

Chu Changge frowned, "I remember that I have already paid for the wine."

Murong Yunshu: "I remember that I said it wasn't enough."

Chu Changge: "What exactly do you want?"

Murong Yunshu: "Pay back what you owe. If you have no money, you can sell your body to pay it off."

Chu Changge was dumbfounded. Sold his body to pay off his debts? Did he hear it right? "This broken body of mine had just been swept out like garbage by you. You don't even want it for free. How much can it be worth?"

Murong Yunshu's phoenix eyes moved slightly. She pondered for a moment, then asked indifferently, "Are you selling it or not?"

Chu Changge: "Are you serious?"

Murong Yunshu: "I never joke about money."

Chu Changge froze, then laughed, "That's true." The tone of his voice was full of derision.

Murong Yunshu moved her eyelashes and did not speak. She quietly looked at him, waiting for his reply.

Seeing that she was serious, Chu Changge also put away his joking attitude, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's not for sale."

Murong Yunshu looked gloomy and was about to continue negotiating when she heard him then say, "I'll give it away for free."

After saying this, Chu Changge looked at her with a faint smile.

Murong Yunshu's heart fluttered. She lowered her eyes and said blandly, "I won't accept a reward if I don't deserve it. If I like something, I will spend my money on it. You'd better wait until you've paid off your wine debt and give it to someone else."

"Tsk, what a sour smell. Do you have vinegar hidden in this house? How old was the vinegar?" Chu Changge asked as he looked left and right, making a show of looking for aged vinegar.

Murong Yunshu was instantly embarrassed and blushed to the roots of her ears. She didn't know why she had added that last sentence. It was so unlike her.

She felt pretty upset when suddenly, he cupped her face, and her head was lifted stiffly, despite her resistance.

Again, their eyes met. This time, they were so close that even their breath was entwined and unrelenting.

It was as if Murong Yunshu could hear her own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump......one faster than the other, one louder than the other, and she was unable to think.

"Sorry." With a low murmur, Chu Changge opened the shackles and released the trapped beast in his heart from its cage as he sieged and plundered with a vengeance.

Their lips and teeth mingled, and the world went silent.

Only at this moment did Murong Yunshu understand that all the fighting and scheming became invalid in front of her beloved one. All that remained was for her to give up and surrender as she watched herself sink deeper.

The kiss was like a blazing fire that burned through the years of them being apart and melted away the barriers between them.

*

After an unknown time, Chu Changge finally let go of Murong Yunshu. He lazily licked his lips and made a vow, "From now on, I, Chu Changge, am Murong Yunshu's man. You can use me any way you want, and I will not complain."

Murong Yunshu had not yet recovered from the passionate kiss she had just received, and her face was flushed red. After a long moment, she floundered when she heard his words and then responded, "You'll be my servant."

Chu Changge: "......"

Thus, overnight, Chu Changge changed from being the Guye of Murong Mansion to be the sweeper, Ah Chang. Ah Chang was the new name 'bestowed' to him by Murong Yunshu. Chu Changge protested but was overruled by Murong Yunshu using her family rules.

"Anyone who works as a servant in Murong Mansion needs to have servant's name." Murong Yunshu. said

And through textual research of Chu Changgeby extorting a confession by torture on Murong Mansion senior domestic servant, Lu-er, this clause did not even exist in Murong's family rules. Chu Changge knew how Murong Yunshu was. If he were to question her decision on the grounds that this rule did not exist, she would definitely add this rule to the house rules with a stroke of her writing brush. So, for the sake of the welfare of the poor people who would later enter the Murong House as servants and maids, he resolutely discarded this question. Thus, the thick book of the Murong Mansion family rules added a few more points of thickness.

And so, as the bricklayer of the Murong Mansion, Mister Shi Er also had another nameShitou.

"Chu Changge, you are too ignorant of jianghu righteousness and justice! You deserve to be punished for messing with her yourself, but why do you have to drag me along?" Mister Shi Er argued as he looked furiously at Chu Changge. [+]

However, Chu Changge only chuckled and said, "You and I are people with the same temperament. If you want to die, of course, you have to pull someone along with you. I believe that if it were you, you would have pulled me down into the water without hesitation as well."

"......" Mister Shi Er had no more words to say.

After glaring at Chu Changge for a few moments, Mister Shi Er pointed out, "Aren't you bent on avoiding her? Why have you suddenly stopped hiding?"

"What's the point of hiding when you've already been discovered?" Chu Changge raised his eyebrows and added, "Besides, now that she has divorced me, the Guye position of Murong Mansion has become vacant. If I still hide, won't that give some people an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

"Who are those 'some people'? Chu Changge, why do I feel that there is something else in your words?" Mister Shi Er said.

The corners of Chu Changge's mouth were slightly hooked. He looked out of the window and smiled for a little while with profound mystery. This fake smile of his seemed extremely sinister in the darkness.

Mister Shi Er shivered, only to feel a gust of gloomy wind hitting him, making him even more frightened.

"It's late. I won't bother you from being a wife watcher." Mister Shi Er waved his sleeves and walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Chu Changge looked across the room where the lights had long since been turned off, feeling worried. It was indeed late. In another two hours, it would be dawn. By then, he would be a blank sheet of paper again where he would not remember anything.

Would she be able to accept that?

It should be possible.

But would he be nice to her?

Chu Changge hung his head with a low sigh. He was not sure how he would treat her during the day. If he had hurt her, what should he do? After all, his loveless self was more challenging to tame than any blazing horse.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head. With the sky spinning in front of her eyes, Chu Changge was momentarily unprepared and fell, only to be held up in mid-air by someone.

"It's you guys?" Chu Changge was surprised to find that the people holding him up were Soul Catcher and Sou Ming. "Why are you guys doing here?"

"This subordinate has not forgotten Leader's initial instructions." Soul Catcher was referring to the words Chu Changge had left behind when he left two years agofrom now on, Murong Yunshu is your master.

"Since you still remember, all the more reason why you should not appear in my room." Chu Changge pushed them away and said in a deep voice.

Soul Catcher: "It was Miss who told us to stand guard here."

Chu Changge was overjoyed at his words, "She still cares about me?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Chu Changge noticed that Soul Catcher and Sou Ming looked at him with an expression like they had seen an idiot.

Uh, well, he did ask a nonsense question.

"I'm fine. You guys go over and protect her. The jianghu has been in turmoil recently, and now that I've rejoined her, I'm only afraid that misfortune will also follow."

Soul Catcher and Sou Ming seemed to have not heard his words as they only stood still.

Chu Changge frowned, "I've told you to go. Why are you still standing here?"

Soul Catcher: "What Miss means is that we stay behind to protect you."

Chu Changge was about to get angry when suddenly, he came to his senses. Now Murong Yunshu was the master of Soul Catcher and Sou Ming, and they only listened to her.

"I heard from Miss that you got poisoned from drinking flower wine at the brothel tonight." Soul Catcher asked with a peculiar look on his face.

"......" Did she have to tell about them drinking flower wine as well? Chu Changge blushed, slightly embarrassed and looked away, "You guys have protected her well these past two years. I reward you all for not having to be on duty tonight. Go back to your rooms and get a good night's sleep."

"You are no longer our master now."

"......" Can't you just pretend? Such white-eyed, heartless wolves. Ever since you have a new master, you immediately forget the old one......

Chu Changge felt very upset.
