  Chapter 16: The Cost

  Chapter 101 Xue (Subscribe)

  Chu Xue watched the man in a sapphire blue changshan walk towards the lake, and asked if he was the one wearing blue clothes. Looking...he seemed neither crazy nor stupid?

  Zhu Yichan hastily grabbed Chu Kui's hand, pointing at those people and saying "That one, that one wearing the crimson clothes, is..."

  Chu Ke's eyes widened, but she still didn't see which man was wearing a crimson robe. As she searched, she asked in confusion, "Crimson robe? I haven't seen it?"

  "It's that one, just got off the car"

  Chu Ke's eyes suddenly widened, wait a minute, the one who got off the bus was a man? She opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked over there, only to see that the person wearing a pink dress was indeed a man.

  That person walks with a gentle breeze swaying the willows, shaking and swaying, with a charming demeanor, and the two following him are not servants, but two children wearing equally bright clothes.

  Chu Ke looked at the man in shock as he pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped his cheek, as if sweeping something away. She was shocked that this man's action was so familiar...

  Zhu Yichan and Zhu Yihan saw her shocked expression, the two finally let out a sigh of relief, temporarily not saying anything good... Is Keqin furious now? Is she about to erupt soon...

  As expected, Chu Kei had been staring at those people without blinking as they boarded the boat. She saw that man sitting on the deck with a self-satisfied expression, watching as the boat left the shore and rowed towards her, getting closer and closer. Finally, she could see the man's face clearly...

  He's indeed a man, only wearing a bright dress, with earrings and a pendant, his face painted with rouge and powder.

  Chu Ke's shocked heart finally calmed down, and after a while, he said gloomily, "Does the old lady know about this Xue E?"

  "Can Zhu Yuhuan not? Can her own nephew not? Xue E is in Huaiyuan... Not just in Northern Zhili, he's a household name."

  Zhu Yichan hastily said, "Among people of our age, he is extremely famous... everyone knows him, but Grandfather and Father may not. They usually come into contact with officials..."

  "They certainly wouldn't, if they did, they might agree," said Zhu Yuhuan.

  Zhu Yichan hastily nodded his head.

  Chu Ke's face was gloomy, and after a long time, he said, "It's not that I'm afraid of being calculated, but what I hate the most is that you don't treat people as humans, this old lady has gone too far."

  "Is this settled now? I'm so angry with Yichen that I've lost count of how many words we've exchanged."

  Chu Ke's anger had reached its peak, and the aura of being untouchable that she normally carried with her spread throughout her body. Until now, she had been dealing with everything with a slightly carefree attitude, but this time, the old lady's actions had truly enraged her. Her ruthlessness, cunning, and heartlessness were fully unleashed at this moment.

  Enraged to the extreme, he couldn't help but laugh at Xue E's coquettish and charming figure standing on the deck, deliberately posing in a seductive manner against the wind...

  Zhu Yichan had been paying attention to her all along, and suddenly felt a chill emanating from her body, accompanied by an aura of majesty that left him stunned.

  Just as he was stunned, when he looked again, the aura around Chu Ke had disappeared without a trace. He was just coldly smiling at Xue E. He slightly furrowed his brow and looked at her for a while, but still didn't have that strange feeling from before. He thought it was just his imagination, so he smiled and said, "Alright, since you're human now, don't look anymore."

  Zhu Yuhuan nodded and said, "If you don't want to get your eyes dirty, let's go somewhere else for a walk."

  Chu Kei's gaze lazily retracted, nodding slightly "Alright, go somewhere else then."

  Zhu Yuhuan said, "If the old lady's natal family can produce such a person, it is also because the old lady has committed too many sins and harmed people without resorting to despicable means. This is what they call 'cutting off the descendants of the Xue family'."

  Chu Xue'er was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to be thinking deeply.

  Zhu Yuhuan and Zhu Yu Chen did not notice that they had already discussed where to go next.

  After a while, they still hadn't come to an agreement when Chu Ke asked in a soft voice, "Isn't this Xue E just someone with the weird habit of wearing women's clothes? Can he really be blamed for being childless? Besides, doesn't he have a younger brother?"

  Zhu Yichen didn't pay much attention and just nodded, "Yeah, yeah, I have a younger brother, Huan is just exaggerating..."

  Xue Ze was pulled back by Zhu Yi Huan, he looked at Zhu Yi Huan in surprise, who was staring at Chu Ke Qi, and asked cautiously... "Could it be that this Xue E is just a weirdo who likes to wear women's clothes?"

  Chu Xue's eyes widened slightly as she nodded vaguely, "Isn't that... and also something even more serious?"

  Zhu Yicheng also stopped, looking at Chu Keqin speechlessly. Could it be... wasn't this obvious? Couldn't he see that? He felt helpless again. Yes, Keqin was a lady from a respectable family, clean and pure like a blank sheet of paper, how could she know about these dirty things?

  Zhu Yuhuan didn't wait for him to finish thinking, and had already pulled him aside with one hand. Chu Keqi looked at the two of them in surprise, and after saying that sentence, his expression became strange, his face twitching...

  The conversation between the two people could be vaguely heard.

  "...This won't do...I have to call her..."

  “？”

  "That's it... just like that..."

  "Don't even think about it"

  Zhu Yichen's sudden loud roar scared Chu Keqi, who quickly turned her head to look at him. She saw Zhu Yichen's handsome face turn bright red, his originally delicate eyebrows furrowed in anger, and he suddenly jumped far away from Zhu Yihuan, as if Zhu Yihuan had poison on him.

  Zhu Yuhuan quickly turned his head to look at her, seeing that she was staring at the two of them in surprise. He hastily stretched out his hand and shook it, smiling as he said "It's nothing, nothing..." As he pulled Zhu Yuzhen further away, they almost reached the cabin door.

  The two people's voices became even softer, Chu Kei had a mind to pretend to look outside while secretly listening with her ears perked up.

  "...must be clear...the old lady is a means, she hesitated...these are not said to jump words."

  "That's... no way, absolutely not..."

  "Is that... a response? Do you really think so?"

  "Then don't go?"

  "He isn't always... coveting, is he..."

  "Even if I were beaten to death...I wouldn't act like that in front of Ke Qiang..."

  "Die or die beautifully? Choose one..."

  "It's that serious..."

  "Exist"

  The two of them were muttering to each other, sometimes their voices rising and falling, and you could hear a hint of schadenfreude in Zhu Yuhuan's tone... You could also hear the frustration and helplessness in Zhu Yuchen's voice...

  Chu Xue's curiosity was piqued, what did her brother ask Zhu Yue Chen to do? What made him so angry?

  She was also pondering over here, while the two people over there were still chatting lively.

  "...after passing this village, if you want to let Ke'er see that person's true face again, there won't be another chance" Zhu Yuhuan said, finally pointing at Chu Ke'er and telling Zhu Yuhen to take care of her.

  Zhu Yichan seemed to be speechless, his handsome face turned even redder, and he was still huffing and puffing. When he turned his head to look at Chu Keqi, his eyes suddenly filled with grievance, that expression... Chu Keqi's heart softened, really wanting to go over and understand the situation between them, to help analyze it...

  Zhu Yichen nodded dejectedly, while Zhu Yuhuan clapped his hands excitedly and said "Alright, it's settled then!" As he walked away, he coughed and called out to Chu Keqian, "Keqian... just pretend you didn't see anything later."

  Chu Ke looked at Zhu Ye Chen who was still standing by the door with a wronged expression, thinking to herself, isn't this nonsense? Pretending not to see when you clearly have?

  Of course, she didn't dare to say this to Zhu Yuhuan. Anyway, she had a grudge against Zhu Yuhuan for pressuring Zhu Yuheng like that and making him so miserable...

  She just felt a little heartache and then saw Zhu Yuchen turn around, and after half a day, she finally reacted to what he was doing.

  He is... He is untying his shoelaces?

  Chu Ke suddenly widened her eyes again. Today, this pair of already very large eyes seemed to have a tendency to get even bigger...

  Zhu Yuhuan's face wore a somewhat indescribable, mischievous smile as he stared at Zhu Yuchen.

  Zhu Yichan untied his hair tie and placed it on the beautiful woman's shoulder, not even turning around, he walked straight to the door. As soon as he opened the door, in that instant, he pulled out the jade hairpin from his head-----his long black hair immediately fell down like a waterfall, just as the sunlight shone in through the open door, giving Chu Keqi a soft and elegant back view...

  The door closed, Chu Ke'er looked out from the lattice window, Zhu Yuxuan lazily leaned against the door frame, his lazy eyes gazing in Xue E's direction.

  She followed Zhu Yuchen's line of sight and saw that the people on Xue E's boat were still not there. Xue E's two small servants were kneeling at the table, peeling grapes for Xue E. Xue E was still standing with his back to the wind, smiling sweetly at the man in a sapphire blue long shirt...

  Chu Ke'er only glanced at the other side, and immediately turned to look at Zhu Yuxuan. Zhu Yuxuan still had that lazy smile on his face, looking at the boat on the other side with a leisurely expression. The bright sunlight shone on his delicate and charming face like jade, as well as the gentle and enchanting smile at the corner of his mouth, which was so captivating...

  Chu Xue's heart trembled slightly as she looked at Zhu Ye Chen, who was flirting with someone else under the sunlight... She felt especially uncomfortable in her heart...

  Xue E

  His eyes lit up and he pointed this way, shouting in a low voice "Who is that?"

  The man in azure clothes immediately looked around, but Xue E had already urged the boatman to row the boat quickly.

  Their boat slowly approached, Zhu Yuchen was completely nonchalant, motionless and leaning against the door frame, looking at them with a hint of indifference.

  Xue E seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant, excitedly jumping around the boat like a monkey, scratching his ears and cheeks, shouting "Faster! Faster!" while waving the handkerchief in his hand at Zhu Yuxuan. Yuxuan? Is that really you? Oh my god, am I dreaming...

  Chu Ke's throat made a 'gurgling' sound, almost vomiting out the food she ate last night.

  Xue, Young Master Xue, actually did something so disgusting

  She stared in surprise, unresponsive for half a day.

  Zhu Yuhuan saw her reaction from behind, understood that she had already figured it out, and nodded before going to talk to Zhu Yuzhen. However, Ke'er had already understood, and it was enough for now.

  Took a step and stopped again, thinking in my heart, is it true understanding or false understanding? To be truly understood, I must see clearly the old lady's vicious, despicable and shameless character. I must rise up to resist, I must harden my heart to break free from the old lady's grasp.

  Zhu Yi Huan looked at Zhu Yi Chen outside with a mixture of pity and sympathy, deciding to stall for a while...

  He was still staring at Zhu Yuchen with a crazy look, his hand in a lotus shape leaning on the window sill and stretching towards him. His body was even hanging precariously on the edge of the boat. The man wearing a blue long shirt kindly supported him, wanting to call him inside to avoid danger. But unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand to support him, he was kicked aside by Xue E, who continued to turn around and stare at Zhu Yuchen crazily...

  Zhu Yichen looked at their boat getting closer and closer, finally arrived in front of him, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and finally couldn't help but take a glance inside the cabin... Of course, he couldn't see anything, but after taking a look, he had an eerie feeling that the crystal-clear eyes inside the cabin were staring at him. His face turned red again, his expression was a bit flustered, and he stood up straight, subconsciously putting away the charming posture, looking down at his long shirt...

  Chu Kexi looked at him with every move - nothing, just not tying his shoelaces, just casually flipping through, just... a bit lazy, just like the last time she saw Lan Cixuan sitting in his room. Chu Kexi silently said to herself.

  Xue E's boat finally got as close as it could without being in danger, and Xue E leaned over the side of the boat, looking at Zhu Yuxian with a hint of tears in his eyes. "Are you here? Are you looking for me? Do you regret how you treated me before?"

  Zhu Yichan endured it, barely refraining from bursting into a loud scolding. At the same time, he had to force down the urge to vomit. He recalled the first time they met - at an elder's birthday banquet. Drunken Xue E saw him and rushed over like a madman, opening his arms for a hug. Zhu Yichan didn't understand what was happening and quickly dodged away. Just as Xue E shouted "Hug this beautiful person..." he almost fell over. Then he heard someone next to Xue E say, "Isn't this... let's ask if they like it or not..."

  Zhu Yichan suddenly understood and then went up and beat him up.

  From then on, it was almost a fight every time they met, but Xue E was still like a madman, rushing up crazily whenever he saw him. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Starting Point Website (), your support is my greatest motivation.)
