Chapter 184: Wang Tiandong
Chapter 184: Wang Tiandong (Part )
“Gugu~Gugu~!”
Late at night, in the thick snow beside the street, Wang Tiandong squatted outside a small door, quietly imitating the call of a pigeon.
After a moment, the small door opened a crack and a face poked out. It was the maid beside Miss Wang.
The little maid looked around and asked again out of concern.
“No one.”
“No, don’t worry.”
Wang Tiandong looked confident, he had already noticed it when he came.
Besides, it’s the coldest time of the year and it’s snowing heavily all day. It’s almost freezing outside. Who would be willing to go out at this time?
“Come in quickly!”
The little maid shouted softly and opened the door slightly.
Wang Tiandong had been freezing outside for more than an hour and could no longer wait, so he bent down and crawled in.
The little maid closed the corner door again and led Wang Tiandong inside.
It was already late at night and all the lights in the palace had been turned off. There was only one night watchman, who was hiding somewhere to keep warm.
There was complete silence all around. Because of the cold weather, there was not even the sound of insects. It was pitch black all around, and there was no one in sight. However, Wang Tiandong was still filled with nervousness.
He followed the little maidservant closely, afraid of taking a wrong step.
Because I was too nervous, I didn’t know how far I had walked, and I didn’t take note of the roads along the way.
Suddenly the little maid stopped, and Wang Tiandong came back to his senses.
When I looked up, I saw a dilapidated hut in front of me, like a woodshed.
The little maid nodded to signal, and Wang Tiandong nodded, took a deep breath, and then walked to the door. The door was not locked, so he pushed it and it opened.
At this time, the little maid had already walked away and went to the corner to keep watch.
Wang Tiandong calmed himself down again, then stepped in, and then carefully closed the door again.
“here it is……”
Looking at the house again at this time, there were firewood and hay piled everywhere. It was indeed a woodshed.
“You’re not coming yet.”
As he was looking around, a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind the pile of firewood.
Wang Tiandong suddenly became excited and hurried over.
Behind the pile of firewood, Miss Wang was standing there.
“Miss!”
Wang Tiandong was excited again. He took two steps forward and grabbed Miss Wang’s hands.
“Your hands are so cold.”
Miss Wang was startled and dodged slightly.
“I…I am sorry for being rude.”
Wang Tiandong finally came to his senses and quickly withdrew his hand.
Miss Wang just smiled and didn’t mean to blame her.
“It’s so cold in winter. It’s hard for you.”
As he spoke, he handed the heater in his hand to Wang Tiandong.
Wang Tiandong’s heart was beating wildly, and he held Miss Wang’s hand tightly.
This time, Miss Wang did not take her hand back.
For a moment, their eyes met, and their gazes were like opened candied dates.
……
An hour later, Wang Tiandong walked out of the woodshed in a panic.
“What took so long!”
The little maid who had been standing outside for an hour complained with an unhappy look on her face.
Wang Tiandong’s face turned red instantly. He just bowed and apologized without saying a word.
The little maidservant stopped talking to him and led him out of the palace the same way he came.
Watching the corner door close and hearing the sound of it being locked, Wang Tiandong’s heart was still beating fast.
He walked away quickly, and only after he got out of the alley did he gradually calm down.
Thinking back to the warmth and softness just now, he smacked his lips in satisfaction and couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s so cold~!”
Wang Tiandong couldn’t help but shiver, not knowing whether it was because he had lost his true yang or simply because he was wearing thin clothes.
At this hour, the city gates had already been closed, and it was too late to return to Shihe Village.
It’s not cold when it snows, but it’s cold when it melts. It just snowed during the day, and now is the coldest time of the year. If you sleep on the streets again, you might freeze to death in your sleep.
Moreover, Wang Tiandong thought that he had just weakened his health and must not catch a cold again.
I gritted my teeth and found a shabby little inn.
I thought to myself, if I take this step today, success is just around the corner, so I might as well consider it a reward to myself.
The next day, after sleeping in the inn for a night, Wang Tiandong felt refreshed.
In addition to a pancake for breakfast, he also had a bowl of hot noodle soup for the first time. Moreover, he did not go to help Dr. Tea today. After taking a rest, he went to the school.
“Ok?”
The teacher had not arrived yet, and everyone in the school was gathered together chatting and laughing. Looking at Wang Tiandong who was still sitting in the back corner with a faint smile on his face, Wei Jia couldn’t help but frown.
This feeling is like seeing the original Wang Tiandong.
Ever since that crotch-diving incident, Wang Tiandong has been like a stray dog with its tail between its legs, and the Wei family is too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
How come he suddenly turned back into the wolf cub he was before?
Wei Jiacai shook his head, thinking it might be an illusion.
At this time, he was no longer interested in Wang Tiandong. As long as Wang Tiandong didn’t provoke him, he was too lazy to waste his energy on this poor boy.
After a while, the teacher came in and continued teaching as before.
After listening to only half of the class, Wang Tiandong shook his head secretly. In this class, the student couldn’t even explain a paragraph of an article, and the student also repeated some other irrelevant allusions.
If it were in the past, Wang Tiandong would have been filled with anger again, after all, he only had one year.
But now, Wang Tiandong no longer cares.
Moreover, he suddenly felt that it was really great that Mr. Wang gave him special lessons and also collected an extra gift as a thank-you gift.
After all, the more Mr. Wang collects now, the more will be left for him in the future!
In the following days, Wang Tiandong remained the same as usual.
I listened to the teacher’s lectures in the school during the day, returned to Shihe Village at night, and rushed back to the county town early in the morning to help the tea doctor set up a stall to earn some money for food.
However, every once in a while, with the help of a maid, he would sneak into the palace and have a secret meeting with Miss Wang in the firewood room.
As it is the middle of winter, almost no one goes out of the house at night, and they are extremely careful every time, so they are not exposed.
Although it was uncomfortable to wait outside the door in the cold, an hour in the woodshed was really enjoyable, so Wang Tiandong enjoyed it.
However, every time he finished his work, he had to find an inn to stay in, which was a big burden on his wallet.
In order to get close to Miss Wang, he had put his remaining savings into the maid’s pocket.
Wang Tiandong was quite resentful about this, and thought to himself that after he and Miss Wang got married, he would definitely take this little maid as his concubine to let her know how powerful Master Wang was.
“almost……”
Wang Tiandong’s wallet was empty and he was embarrassed to ask Miss Wang for money. He thought it was time to let Miss Wang talk to Mr. Wang and invite him to be their son-in-law.
But the specifics of how to say it still need to be discussed between him and Miss Wang.
It’s definitely not okay to just say it directly, you have to try to hint at it first.
After thinking for a few days, Wang Tiandong came up with a similar excuse.
That day was Laba Festival, and the little maidservant delivered the message again.
Wang Tiandong made up his mind, waited until night, pulled himself together, and went to the gate outside Wangjiajiao again.
After midnight, the corner door opened and Wang Tiandong slipped in.
He was already familiar with the route and hardly needed the maid to lead him. He soon arrived at the woodshed. He asked the maid to keep a good lookout while he pushed the door open and went in.
As usual, Miss Wang was already waiting inside.
“Miss~!”
Wang Tiandong was like a hungry wolf. Without even saying a word, he went forward and hugged Miss Wang.
As for the important business, let’s finish it first.
An hour later.
“Miss, it’s not a long-term solution for us to continue like this.”
Wang Tiandong held Miss Wang in his arms and spoke something.
“Yes, I always have secret meetings with you like this, what is it like…”
Miss Wang looked up at Wang Tiandong with a look of grievance.
Bang~!
The two were about to talk in detail when suddenly there was a muffled sound and the door opened.
A gust of cold wind blew in, making Wang Tiandong shiver all over.
When I looked up again, I saw the flickering fire and several figures rushing in.
When Wang Tiandong was arrested, it was not until then that we could see clearly that the leader was Mr. Wang.
“gentlemen……”
Wang Tiandong’s heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale for a moment.
“Asshole! Asshole!”
Seeing that it was Wang Tiandong, and then looking at his disheveled daughter and the pile of flattened firewood, Mr. Wang stamped his feet in anger, and for a moment, he could not say anything except cursing the bastard.
He claimed to be from a scholarly family, but his only daughter was having an affair with someone. And the object was a poor boy who was worthless. How could he not be angry?
If Mr. Wang, who was already in his fifties, had not paid attention to health preservation, he would have died.
“You shameless thing!”
After a while, Mr. Wang reacted and slapped Miss Wang hard in the face.
Miss Wang covered her face and cried.
“Don’t hit the lady!”
Wang Tiandong had calmed down again and spoke loudly while struggling hard.
“Sir! The lady and I are sincere and sincere to each other. We did this out of love! Please, for the sake of our friendship, help us!”
Wang Tiandong’s original plan was to let Mr. Wang know about his relationship with Miss Wang so that he could recruit him as his son-in-law.
However, I had previously thought of taking a step-by-step approach, with Ms. Wang taking the lead in persuading Mr. Wang.
But plans are not as good as changes. Now that we have been caught in the act, we have no choice but to go ahead with it.
As a woman, it was difficult for Miss Wang to speak at this time, so he had to speak.
In this way, you can still demonstrate your manliness and perhaps even gain some appreciation from Mr. Wang.
As for how to persuade Mr. Wang, Wang Tiandong sneered in his heart. Miss Wang is already an unclean woman. Who else would want her except him, the “adulterer”?
Even if Mr. Wang was extremely reluctant, he had to compromise unless he completely ignored his daughter’s life or death.
“I’ll help you?”
Mr. Wang looked at Wang Tiandong with a sneer on his face.
“How can you let me fulfill you?”
“Of course, I will marry Miss Wang to me!”
Wang Tiandong blurted out, and then quickly said.
“Don’t worry, sir. I love you so much in my life and I will never let you down!”
“Not disappointing her? How can I not disappoint her?”
Mr. Wang sneered again and asked a question.
“If you want to marry my daughter, how much do you plan to give me as a dowry, and where will you live after the marriage?”
“This……”
Wang Tiandong was speechless for a moment, and then he said this.
“Sir, you know that my family is poor and I can’t afford the betrothal gift right now. But don’t worry, I will double the compensation when I pass the imperial examination! As for the residence, the house in Shihe Village is shabby and I am afraid it will be unfair to you. It would be best if you can still live in the palace.”
“Haha, you are so calculating!”
Mr. Wang was so angry that he laughed instead, his face full of disdain.
“Pass the imperial examination? You have no idea how high the heavens are! With the little knowledge you have, you will never even pass the imperial examination!”
“Sir, how can you look down on me like that? Is it just because I come from a poor family?”
“I’ve seen many people living in poverty, and they’re all okay. But for people like you, who are poor but refuse to accept their fate, huh.”
Mr. Wang snorted coldly, and then his face turned cold.
“How dare you seduce my daughter and deflower her? Do you know how much her body is worth? I won’t even kill you!”
“silver……”
Wang Tiandong couldn’t help but be stunned. In his opinion, shouldn’t Mr. Wang love his only daughter very much?
Why at this moment, he looks like he is selling his daughter for money?
Looking at Miss Wang again, who had just been crying and looking aggrieved, she suddenly stopped and looked at Mr. Wang with a smug look on her face.
“You bastard! Do you think you don’t have to get married just by finding a cheap bastard and breaking your virginity? I’ll beat you to death!”
Mr. Wang, with a face full of resentment, slapped Miss Wang hard in the face again.
Hearing this, Wang Tiandong suddenly remembered.
Miss Wang had mentioned to him before that Mr. Wang wanted to marry her off to an old man in his sixties in Kaifeng Prefecture. Wang Tiandong didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a joke, and even took the opportunity to swear that he would never let Miss Wang marry anyone else.
Now I know that this is actually true.
Looking at Miss Wang’s eyes again, Wang Tiandong was shocked again.
Could it be that the reason why Miss Wang was with him was not because she admired his talent, but simply because she wanted to lose her virginity and thus get out of this marriage?
“how come……”
Wang Tiandong was stunned on the spot. In his impression, how could the gentle and simple Miss Wang be so crazy?
But looking at the smug look in Miss Wang’s madness at this moment, it clearly explained everything.
“And you!”
While he was distracted, Mr. Wang kicked Wang Tiandong in the face.
Fortunately, Mr. Wang was old and had been drained of his body by his two concubines and the maids in the mansion, so his kick was soft and he had no strength.
But Wang Tiandong knew that there would be more torture waiting for him, and it might even take his life!
Miss Wang is not a beloved young lady, but a “bastard” in Mr. Wang’s words. Mr. Wang has long planned to “sell” her to an old man.
In this way, all of Wang Tiandong’s previous calculations have become meaningless.
For a moment, he felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.
“A murder lawsuit is not easy to handle. It costs a lot of money to resolve. I have already lost so much money. How can I spend more money on this poor boy?”
Suddenly, I heard Mr. Wang speaking again.
“But how can I let him go? He likes women, so I will make sure he never touches a woman again! Find a place to cut off that troublesome thing down there and feed it to the dogs!”
“……What!”
Wang Tiandong suddenly came to his senses, looked up at Mr. Wang with a look of horror on his face.
But before he could say anything, two evil slaves twisted his thin arms and lifted him up.
Wang Tiandong wanted to resist, but his arm was almost broken and he couldn’t move at all.
A moment later, the two men took him to the kitchen, a place where chickens and ducks were slaughtered, and pulled his pants down.
“no, do not want!”
Looking at the gleaming knife, Wang Tiandong’s face turned pale and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.
