Black Belly Wife

Chapter 6



So It Was Him

Chu Changge condescendingly stared at Murong Yun Shu for a while, suddenly he relieved his eyebrow and smiled: “Since you insisted, I’ll agree with your statement for the moment.”

Murong Yun Shu knew her explanation was not convincing, but she was frustrated that Chu Changge talked in a tone as if he was pitying her, hence she childishly said: “If you disagree then I’ll break our betrothal!”

Chu Changge was shocked at first, then he speechlessly laughed: “I didn’t say I disagree.” he said sweetly with a helpless face.

“You looked like you were forced.”

“Then take it as I’m forced to agree.”

“You’re unreasonable!” as Murong Yun Shu talked, she immediately regretted, she felt so guilty that she doesn’t let him continue the topic and interrupted: “Those men, you bring them back.”

Chu Changge remained calm and raised his eyebrows, he lightly said: “They’re my betrothal gifts.”

“I’ve said before I can’t marry for another three years.”

“Betrothal gifts can be sent to your house first.”

“This is going against the tradition.”

“I know.”

“But you are still doing it?”

“I’ve always been doing things that go against the tradition only.”

Murong Yun Shu was dumbfounded, how could he say this kind of things with so righteous tone?

As Murong Yun Shu was stunned, suddenly, her cheek had a warm moist feeling.

Murong Yun Shu opened her eyes widely with an unbelievable expression staring at that handsome man who was smiling proudly, her lips shivered for some time and finally she was able to speak a complete sentence: “What…what are you doing?!”

“Doing something that goes against the tradition.”

“You……”

“Wife, you’ll slowly get used to it.” the words are said to Murong Yun Shu, but Chu Changge’s gaze was looking at Hua Ling Tian instead, his demeanor was proud of himself, provocative and fear the world doesn’t go chaos.

“Yun Shu, I’m returning to the palace, send me a letter if anything happens.” Hua Ling Tian said depressingly.

Murong Yun Shu nodded her head blankly, she doesn’t understand why he was in a rush to return to the palace, but she didn’t ask more.

“Wife, I’m leaving too, remember to miss your husband.”

Murong Yun Shu didn’t have time to react, Chu Changge had already disappeared into thin air, she looked at Hua Ling Tian again, he has just walked to the gate.

Move in and out with wizardly elusiveness, perhaps this is to express Chu Changge.

Murong Yun Shu stunningly stood at the place Chu Changge was standing before, as if she had lost something, she had a feeling that Chu Changge shouldn’t leave so fast.

“Madam, what do we do……. about them?” East Guardian asked.

Murong Yun Shu got back her attention and said: “Let them go back to wherever they came from.” she had no intention of accepting the “betrothal gifts” right from the start.

“But our leader said, once the betrothal gift is delivered, it cannot be returned……”

“There is a graveyard mountain outside the city within 8 miles of Northwest, everyone please help yourself.” after Murong Yun Shu finished talking, she turned around and left from the scene, leaving the crowd looking at each other.

East Guardian looked at the butler for support, we have got to find a place to put these “betrothal gifts” right?

The butler replied him a willingness to help but powerless to render assistance gaze. “Currently, Murong house cannot support idlers.” meaning all of you should listen to miss, go back to wherever you came from.

“Brother East, this is a serious matter.” North Guardian frowned his face and said.

East Guardian heavily nodded his head: “I didn’t expect our leader would come here today.” Originally, after the ‘red shirt’ men, there was a real ‘ten miles of red betrothal gift’ prepared, which could have entertained themselves, and also finish the task handed over by their leader. However, they did not expect a devil appeared and interrupted their plan……

“Speaking of which, didn’t the leader said he is going to attend the martial arts world tournament at Shaolin Temple on the fifteenth of August? Why did he take such a long detour to come to Jin Ling Province?”

“How can a tournament be more important than his wife?”

“I guess you’re right. However, if our leader didn’t appear today, that what childhood what friend, he’ll surely be showing off at us!”

“Hmmph! If he dares to lay a finger on madam, sooner or later we’ll turn that man into a eunuch!”

“That’s right, turn that man into a eunuch, turn his whole family into eunuch.”

*

It was an accident that Chu Changge appeared at Murong House today. According to his plan, he supposed to meet her the second time on their wedding night, however, that Hua Ling Tian keeps calling himself as a close childhood friend and made Chu Changge felt frustrated, so he appeared himself, and kissed Murong Yun Shu in front of everyone.

Although the kiss was to show off to Hua Ling Tian, but the sensation feels……great.

Chu Changge softly rubbed his lips, and started to smirk.

“Knock, knock- “Outside there’s someone knocking the door.

Chu Changge immediately stopped smiling, he calmly replied: “Come in.”

“Leader.” It was East, South, West and North four guardians that came in.

“Speak.”

“Yes.” East Guardian started to report: “Hua Ling Tian was madam’s cousin brother, he was also the current majesty’s illegitimate son, four years ago he was only taken to the palace and granted him as a crown prince. He grew up at Murong Sect since he was young, he had a close bond with Madam, except for Murong Yun Shu’s father that has just passed away, Hua Ling Tian is the only confidant to madam.”

After listening to East Guardian’s report, Chu Changge’s face turned cold and he silenced for some time and finally talked: “Did he take any local specialty from Jin Ling when he left?”

“No.”

“Very well.” Chu Changge smiled devilishly, his tone was harbored with evil intentions: “Send him some local specialty from Mount Heifeng, and tell him it’s a token of filial to brother-in-law from his little cousin sister’s husband.”

The four guardians understood the meaning behind the gift, they smiled devilishly together.

Murong Yun Shu locked herself up in her bedchamber, she blankly stared at herself in the reflection of the mirror. She raised her hand and touch her cheek the spot where Chu Changge kissed her, as if she can still feel the warmth.

Chu Changge……Why did he kiss her? Was it to prove that he only ‘does everything that goes against the tradition’? Or else…….Was there other reason behind it? Because…… Have they met before in the past?

But, where did they met before?

Murong Yun Shu closed her eyes and focused on searching her memories to see if she could remember where she had seen Chu Changge’s appearance in the past. Suddenly, a scene flashed into her mind—

Deep in a remote bamboo forest, a man with hair disheveled entered her small bamboo house, his body was drenched in blood. The man looked at her sight for a second, he couldn’t stand anymore and fainted on the floor.

“Oi, if you want to die, die outside. Don’t make a mess in my house.”

“Oi, did you hear me?”

“Forget it, I’m giving this bamboo house to you.”

“The kitchen has water and food, if you survive then eat whatever is there.”

“There’s a small medicine box under the bed, there are many types of medicine that Lu’er stored in it. Take a look for yourself, if its usable then use it, it’s all yours.”

Murong Yun Shu pondered awhile, she ended up taking the medicine box out and put it beside him: “Nah, it’s all here. Handle it yourself.”

……

She remembered everything, so it was him the man who was badly injured and entered her house without permission. Although he was almost brink till death and his body was covered with blood, but the blood didn’t conceal his beautiful face. Comparing the man’s face with Chu Changge, she realized the faces were similar, it was the same people!

Murong Yun Shu immediately stood up, she went to find the butler and asked: “Is the people from Mojiao still here?”

The butler shook his head and said: “All of them have left.”

Murong Yun Shu disappointedly looked down, after a few second of silence, she asked again: “Is the distance from here to Mount Heifeng very far?”

“Miss, are you going to look for your husband?”

“Yes.” Murong Yun Shu was lazy to correct the butler of the way he addressed Chu Changge, her only thought was to find Chu Changge.

“Miss, I think master did not go back to Mount Heifeng, I heard he is on his way to Shaolin Temple to attend the martial arts world tournament on the fifteenth of August.”
