Chapter 203: Tang Yu, What Do You Want to Do?

ste of Chinese medicine, so hard to drink.Just as Mr. Jun's sharp gaze fell on her, Qiao Baoer immediately nervously bowed her head and obediently drank the bowl of medicinal rice porridge.Mr. Jun see...>

That night, Junzhi Mu's words to her kept swirling in her mind.

Very light and faint, melancholy.

Lowering her head, Qiao Bao'er stared at the blood-red jade pendant lying in her palm, her expression dazed, her thoughts heavy.

"Madam, Master Lu is waiting for you downstairs."

The bedroom door was gently knocked twice by Fang Da Ma, who then whispered a reminder to her.

Jo Bao'er came back to her senses in astonishment, "Oh."

With a casual reply, he tightly clenched the jade pendant in his palm, took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and went downstairs.

"Madam, you'll be due next month. Take care of your body and emotions." Fang Da Ma was worried and accompanied her down the stairs.

Since she returned from Zhu Xiaowei's place, Qiao Baier has become very quiet. The servants at the Jun family don't know what happened, but they also know that she is in low spirits.

"Next month is the due date, why can't I wait another month to know..."

She stared straight ahead, taking each step with caution, speaking in hushed tones that only she could hear.

"When did you meet Tang Yu"

Jun's family east courtyard, the first floor living room, very empty, only Lu Qinian stood alone in the center. His words were very straightforward.

Qiao Bao'er walked towards him, clearly seeing the coldness on his face. When he looked at her, his eyes held a hint of scrutiny and suspicion, along with a touch of strangeness.

"As I told you, I've known him for a long time."

He simply sat down on the soft sofa, unwilling to meet his gaze of suspicion.

She and Lu Qinian were considered good friends, but his gaze now made her feel like she, Qiao Bao'er, no matter how hard she tried, was not worthy of their circle.

"Your jade pendant belongs to Tang Yu..."

Lu Qinian's face was still grim. He had many questions he wanted to ask her, but once he opened his mouth, the words wouldn't come out.

A pair of crescent-shaped blood jade, when joined together form a perfect circular ring. One is in my hand, and the other is with Tang Yu.

He couldn't bring himself to ask, so Qiao Baoer lifted her head and told him plainly, "Tang Yu and I were engaged as children."

You, Qiao Ba'er, you have guts!!

Lu Qinan's face changed drastically, and he angrily cursed.

He had guessed it before he came, but how dare this woman say it so plainly Her attitude, every word she uttered, made his anger boil over.

"What's the situation now"

" Qiao Baoer, why did you make things so complicated Don't you know what the relationship is between Tang Yu and Zhi Mu Over the years, that bunch of useless people in the Tang family wouldn't even need to worry if it weren't for Tang Yu and their debt. "

"Because Jun Zhi Mu owed Tang Yu a life, he owed his brother a life, how could he..."

Lu Qinan's voice was strained. He strode forward, grabbed the woman in front of him by the shoulders, and gritted his teeth as he roared a question at her.

"When your husband's been unfaithful and you are carrying his child, how will he face that—"

...How should I face Tang Yu ...

Lu Qinan knew that what he was saying now was just venting his anger.

But at this point, besides taking his anger out on this woman, what else could they do What else could they possibly do!

" Qiao Bao'er, why is it you!"

Lu Qinan felt a tightness in his chest, very irritable. He let go of her shoulder and looked down at her, shouting angrily.

She remained seated on the sofa, her face devoid of any expression. She listened to Lu Qinan's sarcastic taunts without uttering a word in response.

Again, such a sentence.

That night, Junzhi Mu very calmly returned the jade pendant to her. He didn't get angry, didn't break it, and was as calm as he wasn't like himself.

She stood rigidly before him, her whole body tense. He didn't speak again. At that moment, Qiao Bao'er had only one thought in her mind: his hand was cold.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Then, watching the shepherd turn and open the door, he walked away.

He gradually moved away from her line of sight.

Perhaps it was the dimness of the hallway lights, but she looked at his towering figure and felt a sense of loneliness.

The jade pendant, held tightly in her palm, was a rare piece of blood jade. Despite covering it with her hand, it still felt cool to the touch. Suddenly, Qiao Bao'er looked up and gazed blankly towards the direction of the gate.

After that night, she never saw him again.

Junzhi's shepherd hasn't returned to Jun's family, and they don't know where he is.

Evasion

Perhaps he doesn't even know himself...

"What do you want to do"

On the outskirts of town, bordering a neighboring city, lay a remote and desolate area. The land was overgrown with weeds, and after a recent downpour, the muddy paths were riddled with potholes. Nearby hills, once covered in trees, had been mercilessly stripped bare by loggers, leaving only a few scattered, stunted trees with withered leaves.

In such a desolate place, there stood abruptly a dilapidated quadrangle courtyard house. The outer walls were covered with moss, and even the tiles on the beams had been battered by wind and rain, leaving gaps for leaks. It was rundown and in disrepair.

Yikes!

The dilapidated and heavy wooden door was pushed open. It had been years since anyone had come here.

At a glance, even the furniture inside was covered in dust.

Though these furnishings are rather dilapidated, the intricate carvings from solid wood suggest they were once high-quality items. This Siheyuan courtyard is understated and quiet, much like its owner's personality.

A man stood silently by a wall on the left side of the hall. The wall was lined with photos of various sizes in frames.

These photos are so rain-soaked that they're blurry, but in one of them, you can see two elderly brothers patting each other on the shoulder. They're wearing their beloved military uniforms. Their stern faces show a touch more tenderness. They were comrades through thick and thin.

The man raised his hand, his white and slender fingers gently wiping the dust off the photograph.

And the shepherd stood at the gate, his feet unwilling to cross the threshold.

He looked at the familiar, slender figure in front of him with a complicated gaze. Watching this man remain as quiet as ever, his blue eyes filled to the brim with memories.

He knew the place was filled with memories of him and her.

His childhood memories with Qiao Bao'er.

This is General Gu's former residence. Tang Yu's grandfather also lives in this Siheyuan courtyard. He and she have known each other for a very long time.

"Tang Yu, I don't know..."

The sound of the shepherd's voice echoed through the desolate house, low and somber, "I don't know, what your relationship is with Qiao Baoer."

The year my father passed away, I returned to the city from America to attend his funeral. Afterward, I learned that you had gone to the city as well…

That year, he went to the city just to kill time, and he didn't know that Tang Yu's reason for going to the city was actually because of a girl.

And that year, he stayed in the city for half a year as a teaching assistant, also because of a girl.

The tone of Junzhi's words was like an explanation, yet it also felt as though he was emphasizing something.

If he already knew, would he still be with Qiao Bao'er...

I don't know.

He himself doesn't know.

But now, she was his wife, carrying his child, she was his.

"Tang Yu, what exactly do you want to do"aier's shoulder, "The convoy is parked halfway up the mountain. The western mountainside is very gentle. Although it's night now, the wind and snow have stopped. If we slide slowly and bring flashligh...
