The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 69: Yin-Yang Harmony Treatment

"Tan girl, good news!"

Tanchun was sitting idly in the courtyard when she suddenly saw Aunt Zhao running in hurriedly from outside, her face full of excitement.

"Master She plans to marry Ying to Master Zhan. He will discuss the marriage as soon as Miss Xue dies!"

After hearing this, Tanchun became unhappy and stood up to drive out the maids around her. Then she said:
"Auntie, don't believe everything you hear. Miss Xue is still alive. If someone hears it, won't they think you are cursing her?"

Aunt Zhao came up to her with a smile, found a seat at random, and waved her handkerchief, scolding her:

"This is not just one or two people saying this. Many people in the mansion know about it. This is the news that came from Ying's courtyard. It can't be false at all."

"You two live next to each other, don't say you don't know!"

"You didn't even inform me of such a major event in time. I had to learn the news from outsiders."

Tanchun frowned deeply, looking at her mother's gossiping face, she was so angry that she shouted:
"Even if this is true, what does it have to do with Auntie?"

"The mansion just cleared out a group of talkative maids a few days ago. Madam is trying to establish her authority. Are you planning to go against the flow and commit crimes?"

Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and gnashed her teeth when she heard this:
"You little white-eyed wolf!"

"Who is this old lady here for?"

"Don't you think about it? If Ying-chan can marry, then why can't you?"

"In terms of character and appearance, how can Yingya be better than you?"

After hearing this, Tanchun was startled and suddenly came to her senses. Her eyes moved slightly and her heart was in turmoil.

Seeing her expression, Aunt Zhao raised her head proudly and said half to show off and half to vent:

"It's obvious that he came out of my mother's intestines, but he follows others around all day long, and he gets a gloomy face when he sees his own mother."

"Now that you have such a good thing, have you seen others thinking about you?"

When Tanchun came to her senses, she saw Aunt Zhao's superficial and naive look, and the touch of emotion she had originally felt disappeared immediately.

"This important matter of marriage should always be decided by the master and his wife. Why did my aunt say such things to me?"

"Tsk!" Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh and shouted angrily, "How can you not care about such a thing?"

"You have seen Master Zhan before when he was a guest in our house. His appearance and character are first-class, and you have often heard you praise him. But now is not the time to be reserved."

"Later, you should take the initiative to invite him to your house so that you can get to know each other better and have a better understanding of each other in the future!"

After hearing this, Tanchun blushed and shouted:

"What nonsense are you talking about, Auntie!"

"How can I, a girl, take the initiative to meet a man from another family? It will make people look down on me!"

"This marriage matter has always been decided by the master. I just need to follow the master's arrangements. Any secret meetings are absolutely not allowed!"

"Also, Sister Bao is just suffering from a minor illness and will be cured soon. Why are you so obsessed with someone else's husband?"

Aunt Zhao glared at me and slammed the table, scolding me:

"What foreigner?"

"The master has already said that he is your elder brother from the Zhan family. We are close friends. How can he be considered an outsider?"

"As for the eldest daughter of the Xue family, it's obvious that she's unlucky. The imperial physician has said that there's nothing that can be done. Why are you still covering up for her?"

"What I am telling you now is a marriage, which is a serious matter and cannot be trifled with."

"Just think about it. Mr. Zhan is so prosperous now. If you marry him, not only will you have a lifetime of wealth and glory, but your brother Huan'er will also be taken care of by him."

"You are just a concubine's daughter. If you pretend to be reserved and refuse to take the initiative now, you will miss this great opportunity and marry blindly in the future. You don't know what kind of man you will meet. You will definitely regret it one day!"

After hearing this, Tanchun's face flushed red, she stamped her feet, turned her back, and shouted:

"Aunt, don't say anything more!"

"Don't ask me to do this kind of thing. My marriage is entirely up to the master. I'll marry whoever the master says I should marry!"

Aunt Zhao became even angrier after hearing this. She spat on the ground and cursed:
"What an ungrateful person!"

"How could I have given birth to such a fool like you!"

"You can't make the decision on your own about this matter. I will use Huan'er's name to send an invitation to Master Zhan and invite him to a banquet at his house. If you dare to do something stupid again, don't blame me for knocking you out and stuffing you into Master Zhan's bed!"

After venting her anger, Aunt Zhao left angrily, leaving Tanchun stomping her feet in the room.

But when Aunt Zhao returned to her room, she was still angry and tossed and turned on her bed for a long time, going over Tanchun's words many times in her mind before she suddenly realized what her daughter meant. She sat up immediately and cursed fiercely:

"What a little hoof!"

"Break your mind into eight parts and use them accordingly!"

"You won't even tell the truth to your own mother, and you only speak in a roundabout way!"

"You've clearly already agreed in your heart, but you're just using the master as an excuse to prevaricate!"

After realizing this, Aunt Zhao hurriedly got up, washed and dressed, waited for Jia Zheng to come back, and encouraged Jia Zheng to join the battle to marry her daughter.

At night, Aunt Zhao used all her skills to serve Jia Zheng and made him feel comfortable, and then she started to whisper in his ears.

She was worried that Jia Zheng was too pedantic and would be concerned that Jia She had already started arranging his daughter's marriage, so she skipped all these and only talked about the Xue family's affairs.

"Master, I'm afraid the girl from the Xue family is no longer viable. The position of Master Zhan's first wife will be vacant."

"Now that Tan's daughter is old enough, it's time for her to get married. Why not just get married to her?"

After hearing what she said, Jia Zheng was also moved.

Originally, his branch should have had the closest relationship with Master Zhan's side, but because they did not pay enough attention, they now fall behind the East Palace and Master She's side. All relationships are maintained by the in-laws of the Xue family, but if Baochai dies, this relationship will probably be severed.

If they could bring their relationship closer by marrying off their daughter, both he and Mrs. Wang would be very happy.

A concubine's daughter is considered a good match.

Moreover, Lady Wang has no daughter to marry, so she is not worried that this concubine's daughter will snatch away the benefits of her own legitimate lineage, and will be happy to see it happen.

After thinking it through, Jia Zheng hugged Aunt Zhao and gave her a big kiss. "That's a very kind thing to say. I'll go and talk to my nephew Zhan about this after Miss Xue is gone."

Aunt Zhao was secretly delighted, knowing that this matter had a chance, and she hastened to instigate:
"It would be best to invite Master Zhan to come over and meet with Miss Tan, so that they can get to know each other and interact with each other, so that the master won't speak too hastily in the future."

Jia Zheng also thought it made sense, so he agreed immediately.

"Well, when nephew Zhan comes again tomorrow, you can arrange for Tan Ya to meet him and have a chat."

Aunt Zhao was immediately delighted, and she pestered him again, becoming even more affectionate.

But Mr. Zhan came to Rongguo Mansion to check in again the next day.

He went to check on Baochai first, only to find that she was now unconscious and looked like she was about to die. He knew that the fire was almost over, and if he didn't save her, she might be burned into a fool.

He immediately called Aunt Xue, who was crying, aside and said sternly:

"I have a way to save Baochai, but it's a bit unique and not like the common people. Do you want to try it?"

Aunt Xue had already fallen into despair. When she heard what Master Zhan said, she immediately fell to her knees in front of him as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, grabbed his trouser legs and begged bitterly:

"As long as Master Zhan saves Baochai's life, I will be willing to serve you like a slave."

The room was already hot that winter day, and Aunt Xue was not wearing thick clothes. In addition, she had been taking care of Baochai these days and had no time or mood to tidy up her clothes. Her outer robe was already a little loose, and now after bowing down, it became even more messy.

Mr. Zhan had no wrong intention at first, but he was dazzled by the snow-white skin that looked like a dairy cow, and he misunderstood the idiom.

Aunt Xue noticed that Master Zhan was distracted for a moment, her face flushed, then she gritted her teeth and kowtowed again:

"As long as I can save Baochai, I will give up everything!"

Master Zhan came to his senses, and hurriedly helped Aunt Xue up from the ground, comforting her:

"Oh, I don't want you to give up anything. I'm just afraid that you might get startled and attract attention."

"Since you have realized this, then just stand guard at the door and don't let anyone in. Let me go in and treat the patient."

After pushing aside Aunt Xue, who was obsessed with sacrificing herself to save her daughter, Mr. Zhan pushed open the door and entered the room. A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine hit him.

He first opened the window slightly to let in some air, then sat down next to Baochai and picked her up.

At this moment, Baochai felt weak all over, without any strength at all. She stared at Master Zhan in a daze with lifeless eyes, and whispered:
"Master, after I die, please take care of my mother and brother for my small contribution."

Master Zhan smiled and said:
"You have to take care of your own mother and brother, of course. The master just saved you."

Baochai thought he was just comforting herself, so she gave a bitter smile and wanted to say something, but she felt cold all over and started shivering again.

Seeing this, Master Zhan said with a smile:
"Your illness is caused by an imbalance of yin and yang. You can recover if you bring yin and yang back into harmony."

"Look at the master's method of curing diseases by combining yin and yang!"

After finishing speaking, Master Zhan lowered his head and began to transfer the fluid.

Baochai was in a daze. She only felt sweet water entering her mouth, so she drank it subconsciously. Then she felt strands of energy suddenly rising from her stomach and spreading to her limbs and bones. It was like a pool of soaking rain falling on the hot dry field, making her feel refreshed and her body temperature gradually dropped.

After a moment, Baochai regained her senses, drew her head back slightly, and said shyly with a blushing face:
"Now Baochai is seriously ill and about to die. She can't serve you, Master. Please have mercy on her."

Mr. Zhan smiled and said:

"I think Baochai has forgotten what the master said before."

"Feel it again, are there any signs of high fever?"

Baochai was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead, but she didn't need to feel it carefully to know that her current condition did not seem like that of a sick person.

In the past few days, she had been feeling sore in her limbs and dizzy in the head, but now she was completely awake. Although she was still a little weak, she did not feel as if she was sick.

Facing Baochai's surprised look, Master Zhan said with a playful smile:

"The master has long said that your illness is caused by imbalance of yin and yang. In simple terms, you are just missing men!"

"You are in need of a master to help you reconcile your yin and yang!"

"There are more effective treatments, but the current environment is not suitable. The master is a kind gentleman and will not take advantage of others' misfortunes. So I will spare you this time. When I find a chance in the future, I will cure the root of your illness!"

Baochai was stunned by what she heard. She had so many complaints in her mind that she didn't know how to express them. But now her illness had healed and her fever had subsided, so she couldn't lie. She had no choice but to accept what was said half-believingly.

Seeing that Baochai had nothing to say, Mr. Zhan smiled and hugged her again.

"Come, come, let me help you consolidate the effect of the medicine!"

Baochai's face flushed, but she did not refuse. She just fell into Master Zhan's arms and let Master Zhan use his "yin and yang harmony method of treating diseases."

This method is divided into three levels. The first is a one-way transfer of liquid. When the experience value is full and upgraded, it becomes a two-way fusion. After reaching the maximum level, it is necessary to use both hands to coordinate and cast the spell.

After performing this spell for half an incense stick of time, Baochai was panting and her whole body was burning hot.

Master Zhan then let her go with a smile and ordered:
"Your illness has triggered positive changes in Rongguo Mansion. There is no need to rush to recover immediately. Just wait a few more days before you recover."

"If someone asks about it later, you can tell them that I have a few Lengxiang pills left at home. They can last for a few days, and I am working hard to prepare new pills."

Baochai buried her head in the quilt and agreed in a muffled voice. Then Mr. Zhan walked out of the door leisurely, smiling and waving his hand to signal Aunt Xue to come in.

"Baochai is fine now, go in and see her!"

Aunt Xue rushed in quickly, only to see Baochai lying on the bed with her head covered, like a corpse. She was terrified at the time, and went up to lift the quilt. She saw Baochai, blushing and covering her face with her hands. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, feeling relieved, and sat down on the edge of the bed, hugged Baochai, and burst into tears.

"Baochai, my dear Baochai, you are finally alive, and even mother...it is not in vain!"

Baochai no longer cared about being shy. She quickly got up, hugged her mother, and comforted her softly.

Let's not talk about the mother and daughter, just talk about Master Zhan. After leaving the house, he was not in a hurry to leave this time, but slowly strolled in the garden. Even if there was no Baochai and her daughter as spies, he had already woven a news network in Rongguo Mansion, using Hongye and others as hubs to transmit news.

The maids around the women of each family, especially the key public relations targets, can be bribed with a little silver and become powerful aids in monitoring many wives and daughters.

Anyway, the person in charge of the matter was Hongye, a maid of the Xue family. Even if others knew about it, they would not have too many doubts.

As soon as he arrived today, he already knew what happened in Yingchun and Tanchun's courtyard, so he deliberately lingered and did not leave to create an opportunity for them.

Sure enough, he had not walked far when he saw a group of people surrounding a girl appearing on the roadside. After seeing Mr. Zhan, they stopped and pushed the girl in front of them, asking her to come up and say hello.

Just by looking at their behavior, you can tell that it is Yingchun who has come.

Seeing that Yingchun was timid and didn't dare to come forward, Master Zhan went to greet her with a smile.

"But is Sister Yingchun in person?"

Seeing Master Zhan coming, Yingchun blushed, and she squatted and bowed from a distance. The sound from her mouth sounded like a kitten's meow, soft and sticky.

"Yingchun has met Master Zhan."

"Hey, why call me Master Zhan? Just call me Brother Zhan."

Mr. Zhan had a sunny face and looked like a kind gentleman, which made Yingchun dazzled and her little heart was pounding.

Siqi and others behind Yingchun also bowed to the ground and shouted respectfully:

"Meet Master Zhan."

There was no need for Master Zhan to be polite to them. He simply grabbed a handful of loose silver, about ten taels in total, and threw it to them, letting them scramble for it.

Siqi called out a few times, but no one paid any attention to her.

Seeing how useless everyone was, she felt disgusted with them for bringing shame to her young lady. However, because Master Zhan was here, she couldn't open her mouth to curse them, so she stamped her feet in anger and just sulked there.

Seeing this, Master Zhan burst into laughter and pointed at her, saying:

"You are a good girl. Others only care about money, but you care about your own lady. You are a loyal person. You deserve a reward!"

As he spoke, Master Zhan took out another large ingot of silver, which was more than all the loose silver he had before combined, and handed it to Siqi personally, which was very different from the way he had casually thrown it away before.

When Siqi saw it, she was immediately surprised and quickly knelt down to thank him.

"Thank you, Master Zhan, but this is my duty, and I don't deserve your reward!"

Master Zhan waved his hand and said, "If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it. Just take it. In the future, you must continue to be so loyal and take care of Sister Yingchun."

"It was saved by me." Siqi kowtowed again respectfully before standing up.

When the other maids and servants saw that Siqi had won the favor of Master Zhan, they were immediately envious and jealous, but they did not dare to say anything.

Yingchun had never been cared for and loved like this since she was a child. Now when she looks at Master Zhan, she automatically puts a filter of ideal husband on him and thinks he looks like her future master no matter how she looks at him.

Master Zhan didn't know that it was so easy to increase Yingchun's favorability, and asked Yingchun:
"Sister Yingchun is going to visit Baochai?"

He was on the road from Miharu's residence to Rikain, so this inference was very reasonable.

Yingchun was originally brought here by the crowd to "encounter" him, but she couldn't say such things out loud. After hearing that Master Zhan was so considerate and gave her a way out, she immediately took advantage of the situation and said:
"That's right. I heard that Sister Bao was not feeling well these days, so I rushed over to visit her."

In fact, Yingchun has not visited Baochai once in these days. It is not because their relationship is bad, but Yingchun's personality is rather wooden. Everyone jokingly calls her "wooden head". She is not willing to be pushed or moved, and rarely takes the initiative to do anything.

If she had not been forced over by Siqi and others, even if she wanted to marry into the Zhan family, she would never have done what she did today.

But she was still thin-skinned and didn't have the courage to tell lies, so she spoke haltingly and it was obvious that she was lying.

Mr. Zhan just pretended not to know, then sighed and praised:
"Sister Yingchun is thoughtful."

"I had someone go back to my old house in Hebei and search it carefully. I found a few pills that Baochai left behind when she was a guest at home. I just gave them to Baochai, and they temporarily brought down her high fever."

"Ah!" Yingchun was shocked after hearing this, and immediately became confused.

If Sister Baochai recovers from her illness, then wouldn’t she be...hopeless?
Although she knew that this was not the right way to think, Yingchun still couldn't help but have some immoral thoughts in her mind.

But she was kind-hearted after all, and immediately put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind and said sadly:
"Is that so? It's great that Sister Baochai is okay."

She was not good at disguising herself, and her feelings had long been shown on her face. Master Zhan had no choice but to continue pretending not to see it, and sighed:

"But the number of pills is limited. They can only help temporarily, but cannot cure the disease. For now, we still have to find a way to reconfigure more Lengxiang pills."

Hearing what he said, Yingchun suddenly felt happy again. Her heart started beating fast and even her breathing quickened.

As he was speaking, another group of people came rushing over. When they got closer, the woman leading them was Tanchun, who also came over for a "chance encounter".

Tanchun was much more generous and decent than Yingchun. She didn't look shy at all. She just smiled, walked forward, and bowed gracefully.

"Tanchun meets Brother Zhan."

The maids and servants behind Tanchun also followed suit and bowed. Master Zhan used the same trick again and scattered some loose change around. However, the people behind Tanchun did not rush to grab the change. They just looked at Tanchun.

Tanchun smiled and waved her hand:
"Brother Zhan gave it to you as a reward, just take it."

Everyone then stepped forward, picked up the silver, and discussed how to divide it equally.

When Master Zhan saw this, he smiled and bowed to Tanchun, praising her:
"Sister Tanchun is really good at managing the household, and she is as capable as any man."

Siqi watched from the side and felt that she was outdone again. She was angry and glared at those useless people in her family fiercely, wondering if she should just replace them all.

Those who had lost face also felt that they were in the wrong. They all looked down at their toes and said nothing.

In fact, if you think about it, Zhan Ershisi's behavior was very impolite and was clearly making fun of someone else's servants.

But both groups of people here had ulterior motives and no one cared about his rude behavior. On the contrary, Tanchun was very happy.

She tossed and turned last night preparing so many means, but now, before she could even show anything, the brother of the Zhan family had already seen her ability to control her subordinates and her skills in managing the household, and she had already gained the upper hand in the battle for the throne (wife).

As for Yingchun, I'm afraid she didn't even react to the meaning behind this.

After a few polite exchanges, Tanchun asked:
"Brother Zhan must have come from Lixiangyuan. Is Sister Baochai feeling better today?"

"I've been visiting her every day these days, but I don't see any improvement. It's really... a quack doctor who is harming people!"

Master Zhan smiled and said:
"Sister Tanchun, sisterly love is indeed deep. Thank you for your concern. Baochai's fever has subsided now."

Tanchun was delighted to see that Master Zhan understood what she meant. But when she heard that Baochai's fever had subsided, her heart skipped a beat. However, she was much more shrewd than Yingchun, so she was delighted immediately, with a happy look in her eyes, and shouted happily:
"Sister Bao's fever has subsided?"

"That's really great!"

"It turns out that God has eyes and knows how to bless good men and women."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, saying only:
"I can't wait to visit Sister Bao, so I'll excuse myself now. Please forgive me, Brother Zhan."

Master Zhan smiled and waved his hand:
"Sister Tanchun, this is because I miss you. I can't thank you enough, how could I blame you?"

"You can go by yourself. I will chat with Sister Yingchun here for a few more words."

Tanchun bowed once, then decisively got up and walked away.

Since we are not destined to be together, there is no need to continue to struggle.

Mr. Zhan admired her decisiveness and became more interested in winning her over. However, it was not easy to get hold of such a rational woman. It would be much more difficult.

Unlike the sister Yingchun in front of him, whose cheeks were flushed and who rubbed her hands on her lapels repeatedly, looking very willing.

If there was no one around, I'm afraid she would have been swallowed today.

Master Zhan looked around and sighed inwardly that the Rongguo Mansion was still much inferior to the Ningguo Mansion. Before the construction of the Grand View Garden, there was not even a large garden. Even if one wanted to have a date, there was no place.

There was no other way, so Master Zhan could only smile and say to Yingchun:

"I've heard that my second sister is very good at chess, and I happen to be quite interested in it too. How about we find a place to have a competition?"

Yingchun had forgotten what she had said before about visiting Baochai. All she could think of was her future master wanting to play chess with her. She blushed and whispered:

"Then just follow the instructions of Master and Master Zhan."

Si Qi, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand seeing her young lady acting like a cheap bitch. She covered her face with her hands helplessly and was completely speechless.

Mr. Zhan pretended not to hear and said with a smile:
"I've already told you to call me Brother Zhan, why Master Zhan?"

"Yes, Brother Zhan."

The two of them walked leisurely and found a small pavilion near the corridor. They swept the snow off the stone table and stone benches, put cotton pads on them, and sat down. Someone had already quickly brought over the chessboard and chess pieces, and started playing chess.

As soon as Yingchun got the chess piece, he immediately gained some confidence. He quickly glanced at Master Zhan opposite him and stretched out his hand and said:

"Brother Zhan, please go first."

Mr. Zhan knew nothing about Go, and immediately said with a smile:
"This game of chess will take a long time, why don't we try a different way of playing it."

"I have a game called Gobang. The rules are new and the winner can be decided quickly. Let's play Gobang."

Of course Yingchun would listen to her future master and nodded in agreement. Then Master Zhan explained the rules of Gobang and the two of them started playing.

Yingchun was not familiar with the rules and lost the games one after another. Fortunately, she was as calm and peaceful as a chrysanthemum and did not get upset after losing. She just enjoyed the feeling of playing chess with Master Zhan.

Later, Master Zhan deliberately let Yingchun win a few games, and the two sides won and lost alternately.

Mr. Zhan deliberately made jokes and acted like a cheat, and wanted to regret his moves from time to time. He used Baoyu's best tactics, all kinds of sweet words and coaxing, and mixed in some jokes, which made Yingchun laugh so much that she smiled secretly, and she rarely looked like a lively person.

While they were having fun, they saw Tanchun and others coming in a hurry. They must have learned the "truth" from Baochai that the number of Lengxiang Pills was limited and was only enough to prolong her life temporarily, but not enough to save Baochai.

Seeing Mr. Zhan and Yingchun sitting together, talking and laughing happily, Tanchun wanted to slap herself in the face.

It was clearly a good start, but in the end they misjudged the situation and gave up the advantage.

If it were just this problem, it wouldn't be a problem. Yingchun would never be able to win over her. But the worry is that Master Zhan has a keen eye and can see through her true nature, so he is displeased. That would be a real collapse.

Nowadays, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. I have never seen an aggressive woman who can have a harmonious family. Even Lian's second sister-in-law often has a chaotic family.

She and Mr. Zhan were not close friends, so she had no idea what his true character was like. If he didn't like her type, it would be useless no matter how outstanding she was.

She was not as naive as Yingchun, who thought that she could definitely get the marriage done just because her master proposed.

Nowadays, Master Zhan is highly respected in the families of the four kings and eight dukes. Who among these powerful families doesn't have a few concubines of marriageable age?

Although she was worried, Tanchun did not stop her advance. She walked all the way to the pavilion and said with a smile:
"I just came from Sister Baochai's place. God bless you, Sister Baochai is in much better spirits now. She chatted with me for a long time and even asked me about my second sister."

When Yingchun heard this, she remembered that she should go visit Baochai, but she was reluctant to part with Master Zhan, so she hesitated.

Tanchun did not give her a chance to hesitate. Knowing that she was soft-hearted and could not bear the pressure, she stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Second sister, please go and visit Sister Baochai. I will accompany Brother Zhan."

Yingchun obeyed the order obediently, stood up with her head lowered, bowed to Master Zhan, and said gloomily:

"Brother Zhan, please sit down for a moment. I'm going to visit Sister Bao."

Mr. Zhan knew that Tanchun was a rational person. A woman like her, even if she loved you terribly in her heart, would never let him take advantage of her before the marriage was signed. She would never make a move until she saw the rabbit.

Since there was no advantage to be gained, he naturally had no time to play love games with her, so he immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"I've been sitting here for a long time, and it's a bit cold. I'll go with you to Baochai's place."

After hearing this, Yingchun's face suddenly brightened up again, her little face flushed, and she nodded continuously.

After nodding to Tanchun, Mr. Zhan took Yingchun towards Lixiangyuan.

Tanchun kept smiling as she watched the two figures disappear at the end of the corridor before she smiled bitterly.

Alas, Brother Zhan really likes obedient women!

Poor my Xiaojiu, she had created such a good image, but now... Alas!
