Chapter 18

"Uncle, please spare my life!"

"Uncle, I know I was wrong. Uncle, the stick in your hand..."

In Dong Yi and Dong Er's room, Zhu Xiuyuan held a wooden stick in his hand and forced them into the corner.

As if the two were in danger, they didn't dare to stop Zhu Xiuyuan from walking towards them step by step.

He didn't dare to resist, so he kept begging for mercy.

call!
The corner of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, and he flicked the wooden stick. The wooden stick pierced the air, making the sound of stellar energy breaking through the sky.

Dong Yi and Dong Er curled up, with their heads retracted and protecting their heads with both hands.

Fearing that Zhu Xiuyuan would miss, he smashed the wooden stick on their heads.

However, I don't know whether it was because of too much force or because of Zhu Xiuyuan's weakness, but the momentum of the swing of the wooden stick caused his whole body to tilt, and he almost lost his standing...

Embarrassing!
Dong Yi and Dong Er's eyes peeked out from between their five fingers, looking at Zhu Xiuyuan, apart from fear, there was also a touch of...a strange look.

"How dare you laugh at me!"

Zhu Xiuyuan became angry with embarrassment, his eyes widened in anger, and he held up wooden sticks with both hands, ready to strike.

If this stick were to be struck down, Dong Yi and Dong Er's heads would probably explode.

"My aunt doesn't dare, and the little ones don't dare! My aunt, spare your life!"

Dong Yi and Dong Er were frightened again. They protected their heads with both hands and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with only fear in their eyes.

"Tell me, on the day I first arrived at the mansion, who did it to you two?"

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't dare to play handsome by swinging the wooden stick.

He held one end of the stick with one hand and waved it gently, making the other end of the stick flap lightly with the other hand.

It makes a soft sound of "pah pah pah".

"Uncle, it's the little one." Dong Yi said with a trembling voice.

"Uncle, it's the little one." Dong Er also said in a trembling voice.

"Not bad, they are quite united, haha."

With one hand on his hip, Zhu Xiuyuan held a wooden stick in the other, pointing at the two of them.

He said gloomily: "In that case, let's punish both of you together, and one of you will give you a stick. There is nothing wrong with that!"

"Ah, my uncle, please spare your life. The young ones dared to attack my uncle because they were so brave. It was out of helplessness. I ask my uncle to be kind and spare the children..."

Dong Yi and Dong Er screamed in fear.

"Hmm..." Zhu Xiuyuan pretended to think, holding the wooden stick in his hand, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

Dong Yi and Dong Er looked at him through the gaps between their fingers, with expectation in their eyes...

"Let's do this. You only need to answer one question from me and resolve a doubt in my mind. Once you satisfy me, I will forget about it and spare you." Zhu Xiuyuan said after thinking.

"Yes, yes, my uncle, please tell me. You guys must know everything and tell me everything, and you will definitely satisfy my uncle!"

Dong Yi and Dong Er hurriedly expressed their opinions, for fear that Zhu Xiuyuan would go back on his word.

"Tell me, what's going on with the eldest lady? Why is she in charge of the tea house? Why is she not married yet? And why is her temperament so different from my wife's?"

Zhu Xiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and finally revealed the fox's tail.

Dong Shuyu, the eldest daughter of the Dong family, is actually a mystery.

There is something strange about it from the inside out.

Zhu Xiuyuan believed that Dong Shuyu must have a secret, and he was very curious about this secret...

It is not easy for Zhu Xiuyuan to ask others, such as Dong Shuzhen, or Qiu Wen.

Otherwise, if they mistakenly think that he is interested in Dong Shuyu, it will be bad.

Therefore, Dong Yi or Dong Er, who "owed" Zhu Xiuyuan a sap, became the best candidates.

"what?"

Dong Yi and Dong Er looked at each other, their expressions were extremely tangled, and they fell into silence.

"Ah what, tell me quickly." Zhu Xiuyuan raised the wooden stick again and held it high above the two people's heads.

"..."

Dong Yi and Dong Er, under Zhu Xiuyuan's coercion and inducement, finally told a story about the past.

Although he spoke hesitantly, and even the preface and follow-up words were inconsistent, it was not difficult to understand——

It turns out that Dong Shuyu, the eldest daughter of the Dong family, is a miserable woman!

When I was 13 years old, an elder from a talented young man's family came to propose marriage. Both parties were very satisfied.But the day before the wedding, the groom-to-be suddenly fell ill and passed away late that night...

When I was 14 years old, a family from Ezhou next door came to propose marriage again, and both parties were quite satisfied.However, half a month before the agreed wedding date, a flood occurred in Ezhou, drowning the prospective groom...

From then on, Dong Shuyu gained the notoriety of being a "kefu".

The matchmakers even talked about "Dong Shuyu" and their expressions changed, and they dared not go to the door of Dong's house...

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't imagine how she survived?

Anyway, her character eventually became like this, cold, indifferent, and unsmiling.

And he spent all his attention on business matters...

Zhu Xiuyuan looked complicated and threatened Dong Yi and Dong Er not to reveal the matter before he Shi Shiran left.

Then Dong Yi and Dong Erba had to mention this matter again, Zhu Xiuyuan's threat was exactly what they wanted.

The two of them swore not to reveal anything.

……

The next day, in the morning.

"Husband, what are you thinking?"

Dong Shuzhen was eating breakfast and saw that Zhu Xiuyuan was absent-minded at the table. She couldn't help but asked with curiosity and concern: "My husband didn't sleep well last night?"

Dong Shuzhen smiled again, took a big meat bun and put it into his bowl, "Why don't you, husband, go back to your room and rest for half a day, and we can set off again in the afternoon?"

"no need……"

Zhu Xiuyuan forced a smile, he did not sleep well last night.

I was thinking about Dong Shuyu all night.

He didn't fall asleep until late at night. When Qiuwen changed his clothes in the morning, he was still in a daze.

"Let's make a pot of tea later to refresh ourselves. Don't delay your trip." Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head.

"Oh!"

Dong Shuzhen nodded. Her husband seemed to be not very interested, so she stopped chirping and started eating breakfast quietly.

……

Dong's tea garden is located on the west side of Fuliang County, close to the border between Duchang County and Fuliang County.

Zhu Xiuyuan took his family with him and set out from Duchang County. They took a slow and leisurely journey with stops and starts, and arrived at the tea garden in the afternoon of the same day.

"Congratulations to the second young lady, congratulations to my uncle, and the housekeeper..."

The stewards of the tea garden greeted each other with great enthusiasm, nodding and bowing.

"The old slave has prepared a reception banquet to welcome the second young lady and uncle!"

"The manager is polite, let's lead the way."

Zhu Xiuyuan stretched out his head from the carriage, stared at the steward, smiled and nodded.

Dong Shuzhen's head also popped out, but she did not look at the tea garden steward.

Instead, he looked at the tea trees all over the mountain, his mouth gradually widening——

So many little trees!
There are mountains and plains, and there seems to be no end in sight.

Dong Shuzhen had never even dreamed of this kind of scene, because this was the first time she had seen it.

The scenery along the way is the most shocking!
