The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 22

Zhao Songyan had long regarded Wu Zhen as his own sister. He didn’t understand why others could easily accept their sister getting married. He just couldn’t accept it. He just hoped that it would stay like it was forever.

However, no matter how much rejection and reluctance he felt in his heart, he still had to bow his head after hearing Sister Zhen’s words.

Sister Zhen said, “Go and apologize to him, otherwise I will have a headache.”

When Zhao Songyan saw Sister Zhen’s expression, he suddenly realized that Sister Zhen seemed to like the eldest son of the Mei family very much. She had had several fiancés before, but she had never taken them so seriously. This one was different.

Zhao Songyan felt depressed and melancholy after discovering this. He was unable to get rid of this feeling all night. He hesitated and wandered around the city since he led his horse out of the house at noon. The eldest son of the Mei family worked in the Ministry of Justice. He had to go to the government office to work and could not leave the palace until the afternoon. Zhao Songyan waited there just to apologize to him.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Songyan didn’t want to go forward anymore and followed Mei Zhuyu unhappily, thinking that he could delay it as long as possible. Who knew that this delay would cause problems.

When Mei Zhuyu passed by the East Market, Zhao Songyan saw Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi had talked about marriage with Sister Zhen in the past, and later they had a fight because of Lady Huzhu. All of them who followed Sister Zhen hated Lu Zhi, who always made trouble for her.

Zhao Songyan saw with his own eyes that Lu Zhi brought two tall and strong servants, following Mei Zhuyu with ill intentions. Then, when passing through an alley with fewer people, Lu Zhi hid to one side and let the two servants go forward to block Mei Zhuyu into the alley.

Zhao Songyan, who was following and seeing the scene from afar, understood all at once that Lu Zhi must have come for revenge. The bastard had been defeated repeatedly by Sister Zhen over the years. He found that he couldn’t beat Sister Zhen, so he wanted to vent his anger on her fiancé.

“Damn it!” Zhao Songyan didn’t like the eldest son of the Mei family, but he was his sister’s man after all. How could he be bullied by that dog Lu Zhi? Without thinking, Zhao Songyan ran towards the alley.

He originally thought that with the eldest son of the Mei family’s frivolous appearance, he would be pinned to the ground and beaten soon. However, when he rushed to the alley, he was shocked to find that he, who he imagined should be lying on the ground wailing, was standing there intact. One of the two sturdy servants had fallen down, and the other was being thrown against the wall by him, who held the back of his head.

Zhao Songyan clearly saw that when the displeased man raised his head and looked at him, there were bright red blood stains on his face.

Zhao Songyan reached out to hold onto the wall, and a stupid thought popped up in his mind, “Did he kill someone here? If he was discovered, he would definitely be arrested. How will he explain to Sister Zhen if he is arrested? No, I have to help destroy the body as soon as possible.”

Zhao Songyan was a man with a bad temper. He had fought many times and had seen blood, but… that was not a fight at all, but a murder. Fights were always violent and passionate, not a silent scene like that one that seemed to carry murderous intent. The man who was holding someone else’s head and looking at him without saying a word made him feel anxious for a moment.

Zhao Songyan had never killed anyone, nor had he seen anyone else kill anyone. After all, he was still a teenager, so his legs felt a little weak at the moment. Although he had the idea of ​​helping to destroy the body, his body was very honest and stayed where it was, unable to move. He could only watch Mei Zhuyu let go of his hand and walk towards him.

His eyes followed the sturdy servant who slid down the wall to Mei Zhuyu, who was getting closer. Zhao Songyan shuddered and suddenly couldn’t help thinking, this Mei family’s eldest son, could he want to kill him too? Because they had a conflict before and he scolded him, so he wanted to settle the score.

That was unlikely, but Zhao Songyan really couldn’t control this thought, because the expression of this Mei family’s eldest son who was walking towards him was too scary, heavy and cold, making people feel that he would hit his head against the bluestone wall next to him in the next moment–

“Sorry.”

The terrible Mei family’s eldest son walked up to him and said it. He didn’t press his head into the wall.

Zhao Songyan: “…Ah?”

Mei Zhuyu didn’t know what terrible things were going on in his mind. He just happened to meet this familiar-looking man and remembered the embarrassment of the day before, so he came over to greet him. After all, he was Wu Zhen’s friend.

“I didn’t mean to offend you yesterday, but I’m just not good at drinking. I’m sorry,” Mei Zhuyu said.

Zhao Songyan finally came out of his imagination. He found that he seemed to have thought too much. After witnessing the man in front of him ruthlessly subdue two people and still be in the mood to chat calmly, Zhao Songyan found that he could not find his initial disdain for this man. He felt a little scared, and even his voice trembled for a moment.

“No, it’s okay. I should be the one saying sorry. Sister Zhen criticized me and asked me to apologize…”

After Zhao Songyan finished saying this, the suffocating feeling mixed with the smell of blood in the air immediately dissipated. He was almost dumbfounded to find that the Mei family’s eldest son, showed a look of surprise and joy, and asked him, “She wanted you to apologize to me?”

Zhao Songyan inexplicably let go of his worries and spoke more fluently, “Yes, Sister Zhen said I shouldn’t lose my temper with you so easily. It’s my fault.” 

After saying it, Young Master Zhao found that apologizing was not that difficult. He finally remembered the two bodies behind Mei Zhuyu. With a complex but firm expression, he said softly, “Don’t worry, you are Sister Zhen’s man. Even if you kill someone, I won’t spread it. Now don’t worry about other things. Let’s deal with these two bodies first, so that no one will find out.”

Mr. Zhao thought he was a very good man, but Mr. Mei frowned when he heard what he said and said, “These two people are not dead, they are only slightly injured. According to the laws of our dynasty, fighting and causing death will be punished. These two people attacked me for no reason. I fought back to protect myself, but I didn’t kill anyone. Now I will find the nearby patrol guards and file this case. The verdict and punishment will be made tomorrow.”

Mr. Zhao looked at the solemn and upright figure of Mr. Mei, and finally realized that the man seemed to work in the Ministry of Justice and was a Minister.

“Haha, is that so?” Young Master Zhao could only laugh dryly.

The matter was really solved just as Mei Zhuyu said. The guards checked the two people who fainted in the alley. During that time, Mei Zhuyu also wrote the case record for them, made a detailed record of the case, signed and sealed it, and handed it to them to take away. The clerk who came with him looked at him with admiration as he finished writing meticulously, and finally left with the record in his hands.
