Zhou Rendong hurriedly got out of bed and staggered a few steps, almost losing his balance.
Only then did he realize that his clothes had been torn and his legs were bare. Not to mention the cold weather. How could he go out like this?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Rendong took off the cloak hanging on the side on tiptoe, and wrapped it nervously. To avoid scraping the injury on his inner thigh, he limped and ran back to the servant’s room.
On their wedding night, Zhou Rendong was kicked out of the bridal chamber by Fu Yicen. The stewardess led him to the servants’ quarters and assigned him the room on the edge.
The room had a hole in the door, and the inside was damp and dark, without even a window.
A bed that had collapsed due to termite damage occupied half of the room crookedly. The drapery had long become moldy and was discarded by Zhou Rendong with great pain.
He held his bandaged arm and sat up on the bed with difficulty.
The bed creaked and shook violently a few times, making Zhou Rendong even more panicked.
After thinking for a while, he quickly took off the cloak on his body, picked up his last set of dirty clothes, changed into them, and folded the cloak neatly, intending to wash it before sending it back to Fu Yicen.
At that moment, the door was kicked open with a loud “bang.”
The steward in charge walked in fiercely, with one hand on her hips, and the other holding a whip to discipline the servants. She started lashing Zhou Rendong involuntarily.

Satisfied with the situation, the stewardess let out a satisfied “hmph” and kicked him in the ribs. “Go and work. If you can’t finish it, don’t expect to have a meal today either.”
Zhou Rendong had been hungry for two or three days, and his stomach was already numb with pain.
Covering his belly, he stood up against the wall, gritting his teeth as he walked towards the pile of clothes waiting for him to wash…
In facing the tricky challenges of the smiling tiger emperor and his “father-in-law” Prime Minister Zhou in court, Fu Yicen demonstrated great perseverance and endurance, refraining from killing them impulsively to avenge himself and Zhou Rendong.
In order to plan better, he simply found an excuse and asked for leave to rest.
The emperor was eager for Fu Yicen to be at home, so that he could have more opportunities to sideline his military authority. Without hesitation, the Emperor granted the request.
However, the current Fu Yicen’s thoughts were not as pure as they were in the last life.
He was wary of the new Emperor. Without a proper strategy, he would repeat the same mistakes sooner or later.
If he wanted to protect Zhou Rendong, his target must be the position of the Ninth-Five Venerable.
With a heavy heart and concern for the little man in the mansion, he hurriedly flew back to the mansion.
Thinking that Zhou Liandong was still unconscious, he entered the room only to find it empty.
“Where is he?”
The maid who was assigned to take care of Zhou Rendong was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
“General, please forgive me. This-this servant girl went to the kitchen to instruct them to prepare porridge for the young Master. When I came back… came back, young master disappeared…”
Fu Yicen waved his hand and immediately rushed to the servants’ room to find the person.
When he arrived, he happened to see Zhou Rendong using one hand to draw water from the well. Struggling, he lifted a bucket and managed to pour it into the nearby laundry washbasin, holding it halfway.
Half of Zhou Rendong’s clothes were wet. He was panting for breath, kneeling by the washboard, picking up the heavy clothes and scrubbing them.
The steward in charge scolded him for being slow, kicking the washing bucket and splashing him with icy water.
“Wash it faster, wash it cleaner! Didn’t you see there is still a huge pile?”
“I’m sorry.” He nodded modestly, not daring to say a word of resistance.
Fu Yicen clenched his fists, pursed his lips, suppressing the pain and anger welling up in his chest. Taking three quick steps, he walked straight towards Zhou Rendong.
The steward in charge had received so many benefits from Fu Rushang, so she naturally had to “take care” of Zhou Rendong for her sake.
In the past three years, there had been a lot of “care”, but the general had never inquired about it.
This strengthened her courage. As long as she couldn’t be beaten to death, she had plenty of ways to make Zhou Rendong suffer.
With these thoughts in mind, she picked up the whip again, wanting to “teach” him a lesson once more.
But this time, as soon as she raised her hand, someone grabbed her wrist. With a creaking sound, her wrist dislocated and the whip fell to the ground.
“How dare…”
She was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but when she looked up, she saw Fu Yicen’s cold face. She was instantly frightened and weakened in the legs, and knelt down to pay respects
“The old servant pays respects to the General.”
Fu Yicen gritted his back molars, kicked the obtrusive poisonous woman out of the way, and bent down to help Zhou Rendong up.
But Zhou Rendong, like seeing a poisonous snake, avoided his hand, lowered his head, and said with a teary voice: “I…I will work hard, please don’t…don’t hit me…”
Oh meeen…
(ب_ب) man
Poor baby 😭😭
Wow,…. Fu Yicen you bastard…
poor Rendong… this trauma would not go away anytime soon
Thank you for the chapter. 😘
