Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Seeing Zeng Tianya's excited expression, Zuo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face became increasingly gloomy, "Traitor, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I don't want to go with you, and becoming a hero is not my wish." Zeng Tianya looked at him stubbornly with tears in his eyes, "Since you picked me up back on the mountain, you have watched me practice martial arts every day. I had lunch, and if I made the slightest mistake, I would get scolded or even beaten. I lived like this for twelve years!"

"But I don't want to live like this anymore." Zeng Tianya shook his head slowly, tears sliding down the ends of his eyes, "I am not made to be a hero, I am just an ordinary person who wants to live an ordinary life."

The corners of Zuo Yan's eyes twitched, anger welled up in his heart, and his eyes became terrifying, "I raised you so much, and this is how you repay me?"

Zeng Tianya paused, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "If I could do it all over again, I would only wish that it snowed that year so that I could run farther and not be discovered by you."

"You!" Zuo Yan looked at him in disbelief and whispered, "I will take care of your food and drink, give you a place to live, and teach you martial arts carefully. I thought you would be grateful, but I didn't expect you to have such an idea?"

"In your opinion, as long as I am alive, you have raised me well." Zeng Tianya raised his eyes and looked at him, his tone was calm, but he could not hide his sadness, "I have no father or mother, and I live with my brothers and sisters. I am often bullied, I am the last one to fetch food every day, and I am always the one sweeping the yard.”

Zuo Yan was stunned and murmured, "These words... you never told me."

"I said it." Zeng Tianya looked at him steadily with an indifferent expression, "You didn't listen carefully."

"I said I was being bullied, but you said you couldn't slap me in the face."

"I said that I do all the dirty work, but you just said that a man should suffer a little bit."

"I said that I get up early every day, work hard at night, and don't have enough food or clothing to keep warm. But you said that I am so pretentious even though I'm a son of a bitch. It's totally embarrassing for you."

Seeing Zuo Yan's face getting darker and darker, Zeng Tianya didn't want to talk nonsense with him any more, "Master, please forgive me for the sake of our friendship over so many years."

"I don't have any lofty pursuits. I just want to protect this courtyard. The time I spent in Yongcheng Houfu was the happiest time for me."

When he mentioned the Hou Mansion, Zeng Tianya's eyes softened a bit, "They all treat me very well. Here I can have enough food and clothing, without any worries."

"No one will suddenly kick open my door in the middle of the night and ask why I don't practice martial arts well."

"No one will pour cold water on my bedding, no one will spit in my rice, and no one will cut my clothes and laugh at me for being a bastard who has a mother but not a mother."

Zuo Yan looked at the child in front of him who was raised by his own hands. He heard his accusations in his ears. His mind went blank and he could not react.

Zeng Tianya lowered his head, looked at his brand new clothes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Since I came down from the mountain, I have made many wrong decisions and caused a lot of trouble. If Madam hadn't taken care of things for me, I'm afraid I would have been killed. People cut off their limbs and limbs and are reduced to begging on the streets.”

"If they hadn't been here, I probably would never know how to write the word warmth in this life." Zeng Tianya said solemnly with a firm expression, "Even if Madam whipped her with wattle sticks and splashed her with swill, I would still stay here shamelessly. "

Zuo Yan was in a trance for a moment, and a trace of confusion appeared on his usually expressionless face. He looked at the child in front of him in a daze, "I only have you as my disciple, and I...I do everything for your own good."

"Master's words can no longer suppress me now." Zeng Tianya slowly raised his head, met his eyes, and said firmly, "I voluntarily gave the token to Madam. If the Zuo Ting Gang does not want to recognize her, Well, I admit it myself.”

"Even if I use up my last drop of blood, I will protect the master of the palace." Zuo Yan opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Fang Xu looked at the two of them, shook his head and sighed, took off the token from his waist, placed it on the low table beside him, and said softly, "I understand what happened. Please ask the second master to take back this token."

Zuo Yan's expression changed, and he turned to look at Fang Xu, who was sitting at the top, and said in surprise, "You...are you unwilling to get involved with our Zuo Ting Gang?"

Fang Xu sat up straight, caressing Mrs. Tang on his knee with his fingertips, and whispered, "I am a businessman, so I should value profits, but I am also a mother, and I should be understanding."

"The Zuo Ting Gang has a great reputation. Of course, there are countless benefits to leaving the token. But this kid Tianya has a pure heart and is sincere. I am confident that I can keep him, instead of counting on a token."

"Madam..." Zeng Tianya was moved in his heart, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Looking at the clear palm prints on his face, Fang Xu frowned and said softly, "Go to Ye Ming outside. He has some good medicine for wounds. Ask him to apply it on you."

"But..." Zeng Tianya's eyes flashed and his eyes fell on Zuo Yan, as if he was worried that if he left, he would be detrimental to his wife.

"You don't have to worry about the rest." Fang Xu raised his chin toward the door and said quietly, "We will have a banquet at our house tomorrow. How can you enjoy it with a pig's head and a face?"

Zeng Tianya seemed to have thought of something very happy. He nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran away without looking at his master again.

Zuo Yan was hurt in his heart and stubbornly did not look back. He just stared at Fang Xu without saying a word.

Fang Xu sighed softly and persuaded patiently, "If the second master still wants to retain the last affection, then listen to the child."

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zuo Yan's eyes turned red. He blinked a few times quickly and pushed back the tears. "Whether you believe it or not, I treat him sincerely."

"Every brother in the gang has many apprentices. I am the only one and he was brought back by me myself. How could I not be interested in him?"

Zuo Yan's eyes dimmed and he murmured, "I thought life would be easier if we two lonely people were together, but I never thought that the child I had raised since childhood would also leave me."

"No one ignores the second master's hard work, but Tianya's grievance does exist." Fang Xu raised his eyes and met his eyebrows, "The matter is now over and he is emotional, so don't push him anymore."

Zuo Yan was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "I will find an inn and stay in the capital for a while."

So he was afraid that Fang Xu would misunderstand him. Zuo Yan quickly raised his head and explained in a deep voice, "The reason for staying in the capital is not to take him away by force, but... I want to see how Yongcheng Marquis treats him before letting him go." He's so stubborn."

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, stared at him for a moment, and then chuckled softly, "You are always welcome to be a guest in the Marquis."

Zuo Yan nodded and turned around. His movements seemed to be half a beat slower, and his back was not as straight as before.

Fang Xu looked at his back, feeling only regretful in his heart. (End of chapter)
