Hong Yan was stunned, and her crying stopped momentarily. When she saw Liu Zhengyu was about to leave after his outburst, she immediately started wailing again, shouting that she would kill herself.
Liu Zhengyu knew she was just throwing a tantrum and didn’t want to indulge her further, so he walked away without looking back.
Liu Zhengyu sat alone in the room, looking at the bed that Jin Zhi had neatly made before leaving, and thought about how good she was. He ordered someone to prepare a carriage to go to Jin Zhi’s parents’ home to bring her back.
Liu Zhengyu was touched and went to the backyard to find Jin Zhi, seeing her sitting on a swing, chatting with her sister.
Yin Ye asked Jin Zhi, “How does my brother-in-law treat you?” Jin Zhi nodded, “Very well.”
Liu Zhengyu was about to approach but stopped after hearing this, standing behind the doorway until the sisters finished their conversation before pretending to have just arrived. Yin Ye called out “Brother-in-law” and then moved away.
Liu Zhengyu walked to the swing, and Jin Zhi looked up at him: “Husband, do you remember when we first met?” Liu Zhengyu gazed at her tenderly, softly saying, “I remember,” while leaning closer to her.
It seemed she had once again successfully completed her task.
Chapter 5 Test Mission Three (1)
During her first mission, Yu Yi’s first thought standing by the official road was to escape. But she quickly dismissed this idea, knowing that if the divine being could instantly transport her far from the capital, they could just as easily bring her back. Immediately, the divine being’s voice rang out, seeming to speak both in her ear and in her mind. She understood that she only had a chance of survival by completing the tasks entrusted to her.
Yes, survival – returning to the brothel would mean death for her, and she would rather die than be sold.
So after completing the second mission and returning to the white room, Yu Yi almost eagerly asked, “Divine Being, what is the third mission?”
The divine being said, “You spent quite some time completing the second mission. Don’t you want to rest?”
Yu Yi was surprised, “Can I rest?”
The divine being laughed, “I’m not a slave owner. Rest first, and call me when you’re ready.”
