Chapter 339 Liang Zhu (10)
Afterwards, Qingzhu prepared the medicinal meal, and Ma Wencai held Wangyou while Qingzhu carefully fed it to her. It was a sleepless night.
The next day, Wangyou unsurprisingly took leave, which drew concern from the college teachers.
Fortunately, Qingzhu was a very skilled doctor. When the headmaster's daughter, Wang Lan, wanted to take Wangyou's pulse, she was stopped.
And so, Wangyou lived half-dead for three days. On the fourth day, she finally felt better. After she recovered, Wangyou began to research how to stop her period. It was just too unbearable.
However, during her research, Wangyou discovered that it was also bad for a woman's health if she didn't menstruate, as she would age faster. This made Wangyou very resentful, but fortunately, she stopped researching how to stop menstruating and instead started researching medicines to regulate her body.
Ma Wencai didn't ask about Wangyou's knowledge that she was a woman, and Wangyou didn't bring it up either. The atmosphere between the two seemed the same as before, but something had changed.
For example, Ma Wencai has become more considerate and subconsciously takes care of Wangyou in daily life. As for Wangyou, she is used to being taken care of and doesn't feel anything is wrong with it.
Qingzhu glanced at her young master, then at Young Master Ma's worthless expression, and silently thought to herself, her young master hasn't figured things out yet. Young Master Ma has a long way to go if he wants to win the heart of a beauty!
In March, when peach blossoms are in full bloom, a major event recently occurred at the college.
The vain man developed tinea capitis, and the only antidote was in the possession of a woman named Xinlian. Liang Shanbo went to ask Xinlian for the medicine, but the man had just made things difficult for Xinlian, and she refused to give it to him, so she threw the medicine directly into the water.
Without saying a word, Liang Shanbo jumped into the water and nearly lost his life before finally getting the medicine. Gu Xinlian was so angry and helpless that she ran away.
The ailment on that official's face naturally healed, and his opinion of Liang Shanbo changed as a result, giving him an excellent evaluation during the assessment.
A few days later, the official left in a sedan chair, and the academy returned to peace.
However, Zhu Yingqi, who received Zhu Yingtai's letter from Zhu Family Village and saw that it contained news about Huang Liangyu, also rushed to Nishan Academy.
When Zhu Yingqi arrived, he immediately asked Zhu Yingtai about Huang Liangyu's whereabouts, only to learn that Huang Liangyu had entered a brothel. He then wanted to rescue her, but Huang Liangyu refused to see him at all. In his anxiety, Zhu Yingqi fell ill.
The next day, Huang Liangyu disguised herself as a man and went directly to Nishan Academy to accuse Qin Jingsheng, a student at the academy, of seducing a young lady from a wealthy family, selling her into a brothel, and taking the money she earned as her living expenses.
Zhu Yingtai then realized that the poor scholar whom Huang Liangyu had admired was actually Qin Jingsheng, and she was filled with regret.
Wangyou was enjoying the play, but she didn't know what Zhu Yingtai was thinking. On her wedding day, she made her brother a laughing stock and sent her childhood friend to a complete stranger, thus indirectly ruining her best friend's life.
In fact, even if Huang Liangyu had the will, without anyone's help, she wouldn't have had the guts to elope. Or if Zhu Yingtai had simply sent someone to investigate Qin Jingsheng, the outcome would have been very different.
It's strange that so many Confucian classics were wasted, or that all the servants of noble families had died out, allowing a young lady from a secluded household to come into contact with a poor scholar.
Later, Wangyou heard that Huang Liangyu had gone to see Zhu Yingqi and had pulled out his fingernails and placed them in front of Zhu Yingqi's pillow, whether as a farewell or to annoy him, it was unclear.
Anyway, Zhu Yingqi cried quite a lot, and Huang Liangyu disappeared after that.
Then, while Wangyou was strolling around the academy, she discovered that Gu Xinlian had changed her target again and had her eye on Zhu Yingqi. Unfortunately, Zhu Yingqi didn't reciprocate her feelings. Wangyou then noticed that the girl was showing signs of turning to the dark side.
However, forgetting worries has nothing to do with her, and even if she turns evil, it won't harm her. Just watch it as a spectacle.
Time flies like water, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. The students of Nishan Academy are about to face their final assessment.
Wangyou received a letter from her father saying that her sister was about to get married, and the three-year period had come to an end. He asked her to come home and prepare to send Xie Daoyun off at her wedding.
Wangyou thought it was time to go back and see her father and mother, so she packed her things and took Qingzhu home.
"Forget your worries."
"What's wrong? Why have you been calling me 'you' the whole way without saying anything else?" Wangyou looked at the person who had accompanied her for so long and felt helpless.
"Wangyou, wait for me, okay?" After a while, Ma Wencai grasped Wangyou's shoulders and looked anxiously into her eyes as he spoke.
"Waiting for you? Why would I wait for you? Don't worry, when you get to my house, I'll definitely treat you well." Wangyou rolled her eyes and said seriously.
"You know that's not what I meant. Wait for me, wait until I've achieved some success, then I'll propose to you. Please don't fall for anyone else, okay?" Ma Wencai said nervously.
"I'll have to think about that," Wangyou said with a grin.
"No, you've seen me naked, you have to take responsibility for me." Ma Wencai was anxious; if he didn't settle things today, he wouldn't be able to calm down at all.
"When did I see you naked? Don't slander me." Wangyou racked her brains but couldn't figure out when she had seen Ma Wencai naked.
“Then…then when you have your period, I’ll warm your lower abdomen. I’m taking responsibility for you.” Ma Wencai blushed a little, but he didn’t loosen his grip on Wangyou’s hand at all.
"If you say that to my father, he'll break your legs." Wangyou imagined Prime Minister Xie's reaction upon hearing this and couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
"Wangyou, promise me, okay?" Ma Wencai pulled the person into his arms, his tone becoming much harsher.
"Then let me ask you, if I marry you, is it okay if we don't have children?" Wangyou broke free from Ma Wencai's embrace and asked seriously.
“You are the most important person to me. I can’t bear to give birth to you. Childbirth is so painful, I can’t bear to do it,” Ma Wencai said very decisively.
"But you're an only child. What if your family line ends?"
“My family has no imperial heir, so what’s there to be afraid of about having no descendants?” Ma Wencai replied just as earnestly.
"So who's in charge between us from now on?"
"Of course, it's up to you."
"I'm in charge everywhere?"
"Yes, that's right." Ma Wencai paused slightly, seemingly thinking of something, but still said firmly.
"Alright then, I'll give you three years. If you don't come after three years, I won't wait for you anymore." Wangyou didn't ask any more questions for the time being.
"Okay, I will definitely marry you within three years." Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Ma Wencai hugged Wangyou with tears welling up in his eyes.
The road down the mountain was difficult, so Ma Wencai carried Wangyou on his back for a while. When he saw Wangyou off onto the boat, Ma Wencai held Wangyou's hand for a long time.
"Let's go back quickly, it's getting late, and it looks like it's going to rain." As soon as Wangyou finished speaking, a heavy rain poured down.
