Gao Zhou desperately covered his ears, "Let go first, we can talk things over. I’m still your father-in-law, leave so dignity!"
Bai Ruozhu followed his gaze and glanced over. In the room, Tang Feng slept on a couch and had already sat up, watching them with great interest.
"My husband is like this, the child might not be safe either. Who has ti to worry about your dignity?" Bai Ruozhu said bluntly.
Gao Zhou finally pulled Bai Ruozhu’s hand off his ear, rubbing his now reddened ear while taking a deep breath, "Do you think I’m not upset? I just found out a short while ago, if I knew Chushuang was from the rfolk Clan, I wouldn’t have let her have a child."
rfolk Clan? Bai Ruozhu was startled, thinking of rmaids. Is this too exaggerated? How did the rfolk Clan suddenly appear?
ntioning the sad matter, Gao Zhou also shed tears, saying a bit dazed, "No wonder her clansn were so strong at that ti; she told not to look for her, she knew she couldn’t live past thirty."
Bai Ruozhu shivered, not living past thirty? Is every rfolk like this?
She didn’t dare show any flaws, so she forced herself to suppress her astonishnt, waiting for Gao Zhou to continue.
"rfolk Clan? The legendary rfolk Clan living in Donghai?" Tang Feng ca over, his face full of amazent, "Rumor has it that each of them is an extraordinary expert. If they didn’t prefer living at sea, governing the world wouldn’t be a problem with the abilities of the rfolk."
Tang Feng got a bit excited and continued talking to himself, "I’ve also heard that rfolk, regardless of gender, are very youthful and beautiful. You actually married a rfolk as a wife; do they have fish tails or do they grow two legs like us?"
Gao Zhou, a bit impatient, glared at him and said, "Go away, there’s no place for you to eavesdrop here."
Tang Feng wasn’t upset, saying, "I’ve read many books; I rember one book ntioned that rfolk are naturally too strong, so they are inherently limited by the Heavenly Path, only able to live to a certain age, probably the thirty years you ntioned. Therefore outsiders think rfolk are youthful and beautiful and even believe they can live forever, yet don’t know they have a very short lifespan."
"Where did you see that?" Gao Zhou looked at Tang Feng blankly, wishing he had known earlier.
Tang Feng shrugged, "Saw it in so miscellaneous books from a previous life. You’re also from here, can’t you use so imagination?"
Gao Zhou felt exhausted as he sat back at the bedside, saying absentmindedly, "I never thought about rfolk; she looks exactly like us."
Bai Ruozhu already understood what was happening, seeing Gao Zhou’s appearance, Tang Feng’s words were probably right. She swayed slightly, feeling dizzy and unstable. Fortunately, Tang Feng reacted quickly, hurrying to support her.
"Ruozhu, don’t worry, sit down first; a solution can always be found." Tang Feng quickly helped Bai Ruozhu sit on a chair beside her.
Gao Zhou looked at Bai Ruozhu apologetically, saying, "Girl, I’m afraid I’ve dragged you into this."
Then, he explained in detail how Jiang Yichun’s health was deteriorating; he sought Jing Shuang for help, Jing Shuang arrived at a conclusion, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he sought a high monk, only to receive worse news.
"So Achun left the military camp early to see if you were cursed, luckily eting you one last ti." Gao Zhou said at the end, tears streaming down.
Bai Ruozhu felt dazed, as if hit hard in the head; her mind was so chaotic she forgot even to cry.
"Ruozhu, say sothing, don’t keep it inside." Tang Feng saw Bai Ruozhu’s face wasn’t right, quickly advising beside her, not expecting Bai Ruozhu to faint.
Jiang Yichun was awakened by his son, Little Dengdeng, clutching his stomach while continuously saying he was hungry. Jiang Yichun, not finding Bai Ruozhu, imdiately beca nervous and took Dengdeng to find Gao Zhou, only to learn Bai Ruozhu fainted in Gao Zhou’s room.
"Grandpa, I’m hungry!" Little Dengdeng pouted, usually having his mother care for him. But with his mother sick, nobody was there to prepare als.
"While we talk, I’ll go buy so food." Tang Feng quickly went out and bought so food.
In the room, Gao Zhou hugged his grandson heartbrokenly. The child was still so young, yet the father had only a few years left, and the mother was cursed; their fate seed so bitter!
Right, if it weren’t for the rfolk Bloodline, none of these things would happen.
For the first ti, Gao Zhou felt a bit resentful towards Chushuang, blaming her for never telling the truth. Didn’t she worry the child might inherit the Vein Curse from the rfolk Bloodline?
Suddenly, his mind recalled a past scene, Chushuang’s belly slightly bulging as they were returning to the Jiang Residence.
"Arui, you must take care of our child. If one day I grow old, die, at least there will be a child to accompany you, and you won’t be lonely." Chushuang said.
Gao Zhou thought that pregnant won tend to be more sentintal, playfully tapping her nose, "I’m older than you; if anyone grows old, it would be first. If anyone dies, it will be in front; why worry about these things?"
Chushuang laughed, "You’re only two years older."
As the scene slowly faded away, it turned out Chushuang had long worried he would be lonely and alone. Only he was too careless at the ti, not noticing her worries.
What right does he have to bla Chushuang? He was the one chasing her initially, making her his woman. Even if Chushuang kept everything hidden, who said short-lived people can’t have love?
Thinking of Chushuang likely having passed away already, Gao Zhou’s heart twisted as if with a knife.
Jiang Yichun fiercely slapped himself, "It’s all my fault; I dreamt that Dengdeng and the others grew fish tails, got emotional, said things I shouldn’t have. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have..."
Gao Zhou’s face turned pale hearing this, involuntarily looking at the bewildered Little Dengdeng in his arms. Little Dengdeng was puzzled about what the adults were doing, either crying or hitting themselves; is it fun?
No matter how early he matured, he couldn’t understand death, let alone the Vein Curse.
"Ruozhu’s curse worsened; we must find the Elder Monk quickly." Gao Zhou gathered his thoughts, sighed, and said.
"I’ll explain it to Ruozhu; by then, Dad, take them there." Jiang Yichun lowered his head.
Gao Zhou couldn’t help but sigh once more, "Alright."
Soon Tang Feng returned, bringing lots of food for Little Dengdeng, and Bai Ruozhu quickly regained consciousness.
She started crying as soon as she woke up, scaring Little Dengdeng, who dropped the at pancake he was holding, rushed over to hug his mother, saying, "Mom, don’t be sad; hearing you cry makes my heart feel bad, and I also want to cry!"
Bai Ruozhu tightly covered her mouth, yes, she can’t cry. For the child, she must be strong!
