“I won’t hit you, don’t be afraid.”
Fu Yicen tried his best to say this sentence calmly.
After saying it out loud, he himself found it hard to believe, let alone Zhou Rendong.
The harsh treatment of the past few years had truly turned into fear and penetrated into the bone marrow. How could a few empty promises from Fu Yicen possibly offset it?
“Dong’er, let’s go back first, alright?”
He held Zhou Rendong’s cold little hand and pressed it against his chest, trying to warm it up.
Zhou Rendong was terribly afraid.
He was afraid Fu Yicen would break his own wrist if he tried too hard.
He was afraid that Fu Yicen would exert force and break his own wrist.
Seeing that Zhou Rendong was wearing thin clothes, Fu Yicen frowned and decided not to wait for his answer. He took off his coat and put it on him, then picked up the man who was as light as a child.
“Listen up, all of you,” he coldly scanned the kneeling servants on the ground, and his gaze landed on the steward maid who was coughing up blood not far away. “Dong’er is the General’s wife. When you see him in the future, treat him as you would the General.”
Zhou Rendong’s almond eyes widened in surprise, and he blinked a few times, looking silly but with a hint of cuteness.
Was he still dreaming?
Fu Yicen…how could he possibly speak up for him?

Zhou Rendong leaned against Fu Yicen’s chest. His head bowed like a quail. When he met a servant on the way, he just froze all over, sneaking a glance and wearing an anxious expression on his face.
Fu Yicen patiently reassured him time and time again.
“Are you hungry?”
Fu Yicen put him back on the bed, turned around and ordered the maid to bring the porridge that had been simmering on the stove since early morning.
The aroma of meat porridge wafted over, and Zhou Rendong sniffed, his mouth watering. He looked at the fragrant porridge, but did not dare to hope for a sip.
If he couldn’t finish his work, he was not worthy of a meal.
It had always been like this, from childhood to now.
But today’s Fu Yicen seemed to be a different person.
He scooped up the porridge with his own hands, blew it to cool, and brought it to Zhou Rendong’s lips.
“Eat.”
Zhou Rendong licked his lips, staring at t the porridge in front of him for a few seconds, as if understanding something, and obediently ate it.
Fu Yicen often asked him to test medicine for Miss Fu, and after testing, he would feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Today’s medicine was probably mixed into this porridge.
Even though he was very scared, he still didn’t dare say a word of refusal. When Fu Yicen handed over a spoonful, he quickly held it in his mouth, not even daring to savour the fragrance, and swallowed it whole.
Seeing the situation, Fu Yicen thought he was very hungry. So he fed him spoonful after spoonful, and soon a bowl of greasy meat porridge was almost drained.
He was worried that Zhou Rendong would not be full, so Fu Yicen served him another bowl.
Zhou Rendong’s long-starved stomach could no longer bear it, and even a bowl of porridge was already at the limit of his appetite. Upon seeing the bowl that Fu Yicen brought, his face immediately turned pale.
But if Fu Yicen asked him to eat, he had to eat. What if he couldn’t finish it? There would be even more cruel punishment waiting for him. What should he do?
He gritted his teeth, and continued to accept Fu Yicen’s feed.
This time, just after swallowing two spoonfuls, his stomach felt as if it was burning, and a surge of hot, acidic water gushed out. With a sound of “urgh”, he vomited all the porridge he had just eaten.
“Dong’er!”
Fu Yicen put down the bowl and supported the person who was bending over and vomiting non-stop. He wanted to gently pat him on the back but stopped halfway, his hand grasping the air and then letting it fall.
The back was injured and couldn’t be touched.
Zhou Rendong vomited out of his stomach, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the filth on Fu Yicen’s clothes, his face turning ashen with fear.
He had spit out the medicine!
He even had vomited all over Fu Yicen!
What should he do?
Zhou Rendong was already dazed with fear. He looked at Fu Yicen with teary eyes and sure enough, he saw his expression was not good.
He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, grabbed the bowl suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: “I’ll eat…I’ll eat it all. I’m sorry…I won’t throw up anymore…”
“What are you doing?”
In a state of panic, Fu Yicen quickly snatched his bowl away. His tone became more urgent, which frightened Zhou Rendong, causing him to shrink his neck and dare not move.
Fu Yicen sighed and rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.
How should he handle this timid little guy?
“I’m sorry.”
Zhou Rendong apologized habitually. As long as he took all the blame on himself, the accusations and beatings he received would be slightly less.
“You’re not at fault.” Fu Yicen was extremely upset.
He carried Zhou Liandong to the soft couch outside to rest for a while, asked his servants to tidy up the messy room and sent someone to invite Chu Yu.
Zhou Rendong vomited. His physical condition coupled with his weakened state made him feel drowsy and lethargic. However, in front of Fu Yicen, he had no choice but to force himself to stay awake.
There were times in the past when he couldn’t stay awake and would fall asleep, but Fu Yicen always had means to wake him up, making him experience even greater pain.
Someone needs to beat Fu Rushang, and if you’re not gonna do it soon I will!!
I am enjoying the moment of ML’s mental torture
+1 I love it when scum feels guilty and regretful
+1 to that! Just by reading the snippets of the shou’s past torture made me teared up! The gong needs to suffer and grovel more!
Pamper him more!! And regret more how scummy you’ve been to poor dong’er! 😤
Dang I’m really hating og mc
I just hope ml will feel all the pain of MC’s wound 2 times more every time mc hurts
I am loving ML’s mental torture…serves him right
Thank you so much for the chapter ❤
I’m not reading this anymore. The MC is just too vile and I’m not gonna be satisfied even if he “makes up” for everything he’s done. After this abuse, they shouldn’t be the endgame at all.
Thank you to the translator though, for picking this up and suffering through the story to translate it. Best of luck to you cause this story is A LOT to stomach.
I don’t know how will the MC redeem himself? It seems to be a long way…
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for picking these sadistic novels that make me suffer.
😛
Updates please
This asshole- I’ll take the sweet male wife if he doesn’t want him!
Also name spelling error in this chapter it changed Zhou Ren to Zhou Lian again
You’re doing good though Translator Cutie! ❤️
