Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 289 One Husband and Many Concubines

Staring blankly at the incense burner.

Kana seemed to see her own life in it.

All those beautiful things will disappear without a trace like the smoke from an incense burner after He Yuzhu leaves.

Rather than living like this for the rest of your life, like a canary locked in a cage for people to admire.

A strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind, she wanted to disappear from this world completely. At least in that way, even if she couldn't spend the rest of her life with her loved one, she could always stay in his or her memory.

Once this thought comes up, it will never go away.

Kana really wanted to do this.

But I caught a glimpse of Keiko beside me.

She hesitated again, because she knew very well that if she left, Keiko would choose the same path.

But if they stay, will a life without freedom await them?

It's like being in a big cage with no hope in sight.

For a moment, Kana was in a dilemma.

I was dazed for a while.

Kana shook Keiko gently.

"Miss..."

Jingzi woke up in shock and instinctively looked around. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the scary man.

Noticing that Kana was looking at her with strange eyes, Keiko immediately realized that her previous performance might have been a bit too much.

I quickly explained: "I had a terrible dream."

"A terrible dream?"

Kana sighed, "I'm afraid the days ahead will be as difficult as a nightmare."

There was a pause.

Kana looked at her and said solemnly: "Jingzi, what do you think we should do now?"

"I originally planned to accept my fate and marry into the Yamamoto family, but now I have changed my mind."

Jingzi nodded quickly and responded: "Miss, just do whatever you say. I will listen to you."

"I'm asking you because I can't think of a solution."

Kana winked mischievously, "Last night I found that you are actually quite opinionated. Tell me, do you have any ideas?"

"So what do you think we should do?"

"I……"

Jingzi glanced at Kana uneasily, lowered her head and whispered, "I think whatever the lady says is what I will listen to her."

"And you dare to say you listen to me!"

Kana glared at her and said angrily, "Why didn't you leave when I told you to?"

"Do you know how much trouble your staying here has caused me?"

"Okay, now I'll give you two options."

"First, do as you say. Listen to me and leave here immediately. You can go anywhere, but don't let me see you again. We don't want to meet each other in the future."

"Second, come up with an idea yourself."

"I don't want to go to the Yamamotos anymore."

"He Yuzhu is married again, so it's impossible to be with him."

"Don't you always have a lot of ideas? Tell me what to do?"

"Hurry up, or get out of here right now!"

"what!"

Jingzi panicked and said anxiously: "Miss, I really don't want to leave!"

"Don't chase me away! I'm not smart enough to think of a solution. Please don't make it difficult for me."

"Embarrassed?"

Kana gave her a cold look and said, "It's you who made me not know what to do."

"You always listen to me, but you won't leave when I ask you to."

"And He Yuzhu is obviously my lover, but you followed me without even consulting me."

"What the hell is this? You're just trying to steal my man!"

"Now I ask you to figure out a solution, but you don't want to."

"So, am I making things difficult for you or are you making things difficult for me?"

"Since you feel embarrassed, then just leave now."

"I don't want to torment each other like this anymore, okay?"

"Please let me go and stop pushing me!"

Kana's expression was unusually grim.

Jingzi was so scared that she burst into tears and said hurriedly, "Miss, please don't say such things."

"I know I was wrong. I really know I did something wrong."

"As long as you don't kick me out, I'll do whatever you say."

"I'm speaking from the heart. I will never make any decisions lightly again."

"And I don't have any feelings for He Yuzhu. I really don't like him. I even wanted to..."

"What did you say!"

Hearing this, Kana panicked and quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "Hurry up and tell me what happened to He Yuzhu..."

"He's fine..."

Jingzi now regrets saying this, but she also knows that she can't lie.

She told the whole story in a very low voice.

.......

Here's the thing, nothing really happened to him.

Kana frowned, with obvious dissatisfaction on her face.

This incident made her angry and scared at the same time.

I didn't expect Jingzi to take the initiative to deal with He Yuzhu.

At the same moment,

Kana was also confused.

She knew very well that Keiko had been sent to the Iga Clan by her grandfather to learn ninjutsu, and although she had not reached a professional level, it was not difficult for her to knock down a few people.

Especially when using one's weak image as a cover, assassinating someone is a piece of cake.

However, in an environment like the bathroom, even though she was well prepared, Keiko still failed.

This means that He Yuzhu is indeed very powerful.

It's so amazing that it's unbelievable.

But when Kana thought of the handsome and gentle He Yuzhu,

I always find it difficult to connect these two images, and I can't help but confirm again: "Is he really that powerful?"

"um, yes……"

Jingzi nodded cautiously, "Besides making people physically weak,"

"I think he has also learned hard skills."

"The neck is the most vulnerable part. I could have hit him with the help of the towel. But his neck was as hard as iron. No matter how hard I tried, it was useless."

Kana's face still looked unhappy.

Although it turned out that He Yuzhu was really strong, it did not make her look better.

Because if He Yuzhu wasn't so amazing, Jingzi would have already succeeded.

Thinking of this, Kana felt very angry and scared, and said coldly: "Jingzi, you should know what kind of people I hate the most."

"What I hate most is other people making decisions for me and planning my life without my permission."

"I know you mean well, but I don't need this kind of concern!"

"I hope this is the last time you act on your own, or else you'll have to go as far as you can."

Jingzi nodded hurriedly.

"Miss, I really understand my mistake and I will never act on my own again!"

"As long as you let me stay, you will listen to whatever I say from now on."

"Humph......"

Looking at Keiko, Kana still felt a little uncomfortable. She almost caused the man she loved to get into trouble because of this. She simply couldn't forgive it. But she also felt helpless.

After all, they grew up together and were as close as real sisters. She knew that although Jingzi didn't need to do this, she was really thinking about her.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is strong enough, otherwise this kindness might never be discovered in his lifetime.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Kana asked coldly, "What happened next? What happened after he controlled you?"

"Tell me everything he did, everything he said, everything you said!"

"I'll ask He Yuzhu to verify it. If there's even one lie, get out!"

"what!"

Jingzi was a little hesitant, but seeing the other party's indifferent expression, she dared not hide it and answered in a low voice: "I don't know where he touched me, and then I had no strength. He took the opportunity to hug me and untied the rope. Then, then, then..." As she spoke, her face became redder and redder.

Kana, who also felt shy, secretly spat at the bastard man. Seeing Keiko lowering her head and not daring to look up, she cleared her throat and asked, "What was his attitude after he found out about the forced marriage? What did he say?"

Kana paused for a moment, blushing again and reminding, "As for what happened specifically, don't mention it anymore. Don't omit a single word about the other things."

“He, he said…”

Jingzi lowered her head and said, "He said my legs are OK, not as good as Kana's, but at least they can be put to use. He told me to be more honest in the future and protect Kana well, and not to have any extra thoughts, otherwise it would be a shame to ruin my body..."

Simply shameless.

Kana was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She quickly interrupted and said, "Let's get to the point! Stop talking nonsense. Tell me how he reacted after he knew I was getting married, and whether he said anything about his future plans or something like that."

"He He……"

Jingzi thought for a moment and whispered, "He asked me where I learned martial arts. I didn't want to tell him, so he threatened me that he would tell the young lady about it and forced me to confess."

"He also asked me what my lady thought about a man marrying several concubines, and I told her the truth. My lady is an independent woman. Although she has a crush on you, she will never accept such a thing..."

Kana sounded a little proud when she heard this and raised her chin.

"He didn't believe it. He thought that since Kana didn't object to you as a concubine, how could she disagree with his request? He also said that women always say the opposite of what they say."

"You say you don't want to, but you're actually very happy in your heart. Just like you are now..." Jingzi lowered her head and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Kana cursed inwardly, muttered that the disgusting man was shameless, and then asked, "What else did this guy say?"

After hearing what Jingzi said, Kana's perfect impression of He Yuzhu collapsed.

But this feeling of collapse is actually not bad.

His previous image was too perfect, high and mighty, like a god, out of touch with reality, making people afraid to approach him.

Now that the image is broken, it seems more real.

That stinky man actually still fantasizes about having a bunch of concubines. Kana was angry and annoyed, but also felt a little sweet, which also showed that he still cared about her very much.

"He also told me to stay with the young lady and tell him immediately if I run into any trouble in the future..."

Hearing this, Kana felt warm in her heart, sweet and beautiful.

But before long, this sweet feeling was replaced by anger.

"He actually wanted me to persuade the young lady to accept having multiple concubines, saying that if we slept together a few times, the young lady would change her mind, and he even asked me to help smooth things over when the time comes."

"He even asked if the young lady had secretly watched Japanese porn movies..."
