Chapter 410
Zhou Yue can already go to the ground, but she is still a little weak. She continues to drink the soup and does not need anyone to feed her. She can eat well by herself.

After recovering from the illness, there were a few pockmarks on her face, which were considered disfigured, but she no longer cared about it. She was lucky to have saved her life. Shen Furong was the noble person in her life.

The plague situation in the entire county has been completely controlled.

The biggest contributors to controlling the plague were Shen Furong and Xu Xiaoli, and of course the genius doctor Duan Sheng, a group of disciples from Youlin Valley and all the doctors.

Now, thanks to donations from major families in Qingzhou and allocations from the New Emperor, the current epidemic work is almost coming to an end.

No matter where Shen Furong and Xu Xiaoli go, they will be bowed down by the people.

"Thank you Madam Zhou for your life-saving grace!"

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your life-saving grace!"

The people in the city spontaneously expressed their gratitude.

Both Shen Furong and Xu Xiaoli would return the favor one by one.

Wu Dayong was promoted to the new county magistrate of Huainan Town because of his merits in fighting the epidemic.

Magistrate Zhang was stripped of his official title and was soon escorted to Beijing to await his punishment.

Xu Xiaoli was appreciated by the imperial court and invited by the current emperor to serve as an official in the imperial court. He would officially take up his duties after entering the capital.

"You go back and tell father that I don't agree with this marriage." Xu Xiaoli's face was ashen.

"Hey, sir, it was for your happiness and my responsibility as a father that I arranged this marriage for you before coming to Beijing."

The waiter Laifu brought the prepared wine and food.

"Master said, although the second room of the Zhou family is not as good as the big room, it is still of the same blood. If you are married to the Zhou family, you will have someone to take care of you when you go to the capital."

It's good to have someone to take care of everything, but it's just to get married to the newly promoted king of the town!
Marriage is not a bargaining chip. The woman who can stay with him must be a woman he approves of.

Thinking about these thoughts, Shen Furong's face flashed in his mind, making Xu Xiaoli feel more and more irritable.

He usually doesn't drink, but he was in a bad mood today, so when Laifu put the wine in front of him, he drank three glasses in one go.

Laifu was frightened and quickly stopped him from drinking the next glass of wine: "Master, how can you drink like this? This wine is strong alcohol. Drinking like this will make you drunk easily and hurt your body."

Xu Xiaoli replied: "It's okay, you can go down."

"Yes."

Laifu curled his lips, but didn't say anything else. Just as he was about to leave the room, he was stopped by Xu Xiaoli.

"Wait a minute, Laifu, spread the news that this young master likes men."

Hearing this, Laifu swallowed hard: "Sir, are you...really going to do this?"

Xu Xiaoli nodded silently.

Laifu reluctantly agreed.

Yes, the master has spoken, so he just obeys.

I just don’t know if the master will be angry to death if he hears the rumors.

After Xu Xiaoli finished his meal, he packed away the untouched snacks that he saw Shen Furong liked to eat last time.

He carried the snacks and went straight to the backyard of the county government office, but there was no sign of Shen Furong in the house, only a few maids were busy working.

"Greetings to Mr. Xu."

The maidservants saluted one after another.

"Well, where is Mrs. Zhou?"

"Back to the young master, the King of Zhen is here. Madam Zhou went with him to sit in the pavilion."

he came?
Xu Xiaoli's expression suddenly changed, as if covered with a layer of frost.Immediately, he walked towards the pavilion.

The pavilion is bare on all sides. The green vines that once covered the pavilion have withered, and now there is no cover at all.From a distance, I saw Shen Furong and a man standing side by side by the lake. There were actually several red-crowned cranes around them.

Xu Xiaoli stopped and stood in the dark.

He stood there for a long time and stared at the lake, the mountain shadows, the gentle sunset, and the red-crowned cranes and the small pavilion, which together brought the man and woman in front of him into a landscape painting.

In fact, he felt that Shen Furong was good-looking a long time ago. He couldn't say exactly what was good-looking, but she was very good-looking.

The man beside her has a long body and a jade belt, and stands facing the wind. His handsome face has clear lines, and his clear eyes are as deep as a cold pool. There is a thoughtful look between his eyebrows, which makes him look deep. And steady, the whole person is graceful and majestic, which makes people secretly admire.

The king of town——Xiao Tianmo.

I heard it was very impressive, but I didn’t expect that he looked so outstanding.

As if sensing his arrival, Xiao Tianmo turned around in an instant, his silhouette reflected in the sunset light.It seemed that he was a little surprised to see Xu Xiaoli, but his expression quickly returned to calm.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Furong held a crane, combed its feathers, and asked Xiao Tianmo.

Xiao Tianmo lowered his head and looked at Shen Furong lovingly: "It's nothing. I can't even look at you, how can I look at others."

Shen Furong raised her eyes with a happy smile on her face.

The two of them were cuddling together, and just looking at their backs, they felt very affectionate and enviable.

As if Xu Xiaoli didn't want to look any longer, he turned around and left as if running away, his steps hurried and chaotic.

The body is like a boat without ties, and the heart is like a gaunt tree.

The mountains, rivers and earth are already mere dust, let alone a dust within dust like him.

***
Taoyao never thought that one day she would be captured alive.

In front of her was a face that was exactly the same as hers in the past. Her face had been burned by the fire. At first glance, she subconsciously thought it was her own body.

But she had already given that disfigured face to someone else, even though she didn't ask for the other person's consent.

"It's...it's you..." Taoyao's voice was hoarse and weak.

"Yes, I finally found you!" Yan Fengzhu shook her head, looking down at her like a puddle of mud.

"What do you want?" Taoyao was lying on her back, her body covered in blood and flesh, and her bloody hair on her face was scattered like algae.She was still conscious and her eyes were slightly half-open.

"What do I want?"

With a smile on her lips, Yan Fengzhu walked towards Taoyao step by step, and stepped on her finger, crushing it hard, and snorted with a look of resentment:
"You changed my face and asked me what I wanted?"

She took off her mask and touched the scars on her face:
"My face is all thanks to you!"

"The face you have is mine, it's mine!"

"The pain of peeling is equivalent to ten times that of peeling raw flesh off a living person. How can I bear this pain?"

"You actually dare to lock me in a secret room and try to replace me as a princess and live a life of wealth and luxury. You are really capable!"

Yan Fengzhu grew more and more hateful as she spoke, and the force under her feet became heavier and heavier.

With their fingers connected to their hearts, Tao Yao was tortured by the heartbreaking pain until her face turned pale, but she bit her lower lip desperately and did not even let out a scream.

"Heh, it seems you are really not afraid of death."

Yan Fengzhu had a smile in her eyes. She stared at Taoyao's mouth and said:

"Then I will make your life worse than death!"

After that, she ordered the mute slave: "Drag this woman down, slash her face eighteen times, and then cut off her tendons and hamstrings!"

"What did you say?" Taoyao was obviously shocked by her words.
