Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 237 My period has come

Chen Fengyao was always impatient. Seeing Yingniang sobbing and not saying anything, he just shook his head. He didn't understand what she meant. Was it that her brother was fine? Or did she not need him to solve the problem?

Seeing her crying non-stop, Chen Fengyao became extremely anxious, so he simply snatched the letter from Yingniang's hand and wanted to read it himself.

Yingniang was caught off guard when he took the letter away from her and was immediately shocked. She couldn't let him read the contents of the letter!

She rushed forward to grab it, "General! My letters from home are all boring and longing words, you'd better not read them!"

But how could Chen Fengyao listen to her? This woman was like a taciturn person, saying nothing, which made him anxious. If he didn't read this letter, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight because he couldn't find the answer to his questions!

Chen Fengyao dodged Yingniang's hand by raising his long arm. Just as he was about to turn sideways, he didn't expect two soft arms to wrap around him. A scent of women's incense wafted over, and he couldn't help but stiffen.

His pause gave Yingniang an opportunity. She grabbed his strong and powerful long arms with both hands, trying to pull them down, and almost hugged the long arms in her arms.

But she still didn't take the letter down. Chen Fengyao's fingers were tightly clenched. If she used more force, the letter would be torn.

Just when Yingniang was feeling annoyed, a cough and a throat clearing sound was heard, followed by the voice of Zheng Shen saying goodbye.

"General Chen and his wife have such a good relationship, it's really enviable. I won't be an eyesore here, let's get together again some other day."

Only then did Yingniang notice her posture, her face instantly turned red as if blood was about to bleed. She quickly let go of Chen Fengyao's arm and straightened her posture.

Chen Fengyao was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he felt a little lost and regretful about Yingniang's soft and fragrant touch that suddenly left him.

He was a little hesitant, wondering if Yingniang had changed her mind and was willing to accept him?

It is indeed not suitable to accompany Zheng Shen for drinking tonight and waste such good time.

He was a straightforward person, and he did not pretend to persuade him to stay. He simply said, "I have neglected General Zheng today, and I will make amends someday."

Zheng Shen stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he said, "If my sister-in-law has a reply, you can give it to General Chen to pass on. When I return to the capital soon, you can help bring it back."

Yingniang lowered her head and responded in a low voice, and then said some polite words of thanks.

After Zheng Shen left, Chen Fengyao kept his gaze on Yingniang who was lowering her head for a moment, then turned his gaze to the letter.

The rustling sound of the letter paper unfolding made Yingniang raise her head again. She didn't dare to grab it again, but she still wanted to make a final struggle. She hesitantly whispered, "General, don't read it anymore?"

Chen Fengyao must watch it at this moment. The more Yingniang tried to stop him, the more curious he became.

What was written in a letter from home that he couldn't read, and that could make her cry for half a day?

Yingniang closed her eyes in despair.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Chen Fengyao's increasingly dark face as expected.

Strangely enough, Chen Fengyao's complexion is very dark due to long-term outdoor military camp life, exposed to wind and sun. Also, because he usually doesn't like to smile, his face is often as cold and hard as iron, and his facial expression does not look very clear, often giving people the impression that he always has a gloomy face.

But Yingniang, you can tell at a glance that Chen Fengyao's black face is different from ordinary black face. It is a black face caused by bad mood.

Yingniang swallowed unconsciously out of fear. The content of the letter moved her deeply, but it also made Chen Fengyao extremely angry.

Xiao Guoer said that if she felt that life in the Northwest was not good, she should tell her and she would find a way. Even if she regretted getting married, she would find a way to negotiate terms with Chen Fengyao and make him willing to let her leave.

Chen Fengyao was originally very angry. He didn't expect that Yingniang's younger brother would be so bold as to encourage Yingniang to leave him!

She was already his concubine, where else could she leave and go? To find Zhou Fangye?

After the anger swirled in his chest for a few times, he suddenly thought of the scene he saw in Youlian Courtyard, the scene where Yingniang's meal was so crude, and the anger dissipated little by little.

He had to admit that her younger brother was right to worry, and she was indeed not having a good time.

But, he would treat her well in the future and would never let her fall into the state of having coarse food and old clothes.

He won't let go.

Chen Fengyao said nothing in the end. He was not the kind of person who liked to say sweet words to women or make promises. What would happen in the future would depend on his specific behavior.

"Let's eat."

Yingniang was stunned again. Chen Fengyao was clearly very angry just now, how come he calmed down in just a few breaths?

Seeing her dazed look, Chen Fengyao put a piece of fish into her bowl and said stiffly in an ordering tone, "Eat more to replenish your body."

Then his tone changed again, and he said with a little unnaturalness, "I didn't take good care of you during this period, and you lost so much weight. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell someone to make it for you. I will pass it on."

As he spoke, he put a few more chopsticks of meat and vegetables into the bowl in front of Yingniang. He did not stop until the bowl was filled to the brim and could not hold any more.

Yingniang looked at the full bowl of meat in front of her and felt mixed emotions.

What should she do?

In a moment, a bitter thought popped up in her mind. If... she had met Chen Fengyao before she met Zhou Fangye, she wouldn't have to fall into the dilemma she is in now.

She slowly picked up the chopsticks and ate the clean and delicious meal that she hadn't eaten in a month, but she couldn't taste the flavor that these delicacies were supposed to have.

After dinner, Yingniang wanted to take her leave and return to Youlian Courtyard, but Chen Fengyao wanted to go with her.

Yingniang was suddenly in a panic. She didn't want and couldn't let Chen Fengyao spend the night with her. Her body was not able to serve him!

She was panicked and scared, anxious and helpless, so she had to find an excuse, "General! I...I have my period, I can't serve you!"
