Chapter 1207: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (7)
I thought the other party would get angry and call me "how outrageous"!
I didn't expect to get such a response.
Du Ruoheng said in surprise: "Wow! How can you, a little brat, read it?"
Since he was ten years old, no one dared to treat Huo Xiaoye as a child. Hearing this out of the blue, he got angry again: "I'm not a little brat. I'm definitely taller than you when I stand up."
"You Xianbei people all look rather young. Although you look tall and strong, your face is very tender. I'm afraid you are not even sixteen yet!" Du Ruoheng had felt Huo Xiaoye's bones when she treated his injury before, so she concluded that this man was about sixteen years old.
She didn't know that Huo Xiaoye had been abused when he was young, so that he didn't get enough nutrition and developed later than normal people. So although he was obviously eighteen years old, his bone age was about sixteen years old.
He wanted to defend himself a few more times, but when he met Du Ruoheng's confident eyes, Huo Xiaoye suddenly didn't want to say anything anymore.
Firstly, she didn't really believe what she said, and secondly, she didn't want her to feel disappointed because she guessed the age wrong.
Seeing Huo Xiaoye didn't say anything, Du Ruoheng thought she was right, and there was a hint of pride in her smile: "Okay, I'm a doctor, it's no big deal to feel the bones and guess the age.
Lie down first! Let me take a look at your injuries. You just struggled and moved a few times to deal with those people. Let me see if there is anything wrong with the wound.
Huo Xiaoye was very obedient at this moment. He lay down obediently and let Du Ruoheng pull back the blanket to check his legs.
From his angle, he could just see Du Ruoheng shaking her head, and his heart immediately tightened: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my leg?"
"No!" Du Ruoheng denied. "Although it was a little pulled, I bandaged it quite tightly before, so the wound is okay now."
Huo Xiaoye was puzzled: "Why is Taoist Priest Hua Ning shaking his head? I thought..."
Who knows
Du Ruoheng shook her head and said, "What I mean by shaking my head is that the wound on your leg is fine, you don't have to worry!"
"You..." Huo Xiaoye instantly realized that he was being fooled.
Looking at the other person's silly expression, Du Ruoheng stretched out her index finger to touch the corner of Huo Xiaoye's mouth, and then pulled it up: "Okay! Don't be so sad at such a young age. Your leg is fine for the time being.
But how well you can recover later is a matter for the future. In short, don't get out of bed for the next three days. At least take some time to recuperate."
Afraid that Huo Xiaoye would misunderstand her, Du Ruoheng immediately clarified: "Don't worry, I will let my bodyguard Qingyan take care of you regarding eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. Since you are both men, it should be more convenient for you."
After saying that, she left the room without waiting for Huo Xiaoye's response.
As soon as she left the house, Hongdou came up to her and said, "Miss, the news that there was a man in your room just now will spread out soon."
"I did it on purpose!" Du Ruoheng lowered her voice. "Before, Yu Ning wanted to give me a male lover, but I rejected her kindness on the grounds that I already had someone I liked. But if I keep doing this, she will get suspicious. It would be better to let the news of my having a man spread out, so that she and others won't have any more ideas."
Hongdou said with some worry: "But Miss, if you do this, your reputation will be..."
"Reputation? What kind of reputation do I have?" Du Ruoheng said nonchalantly, "Let's not talk about it. I've become a Taoist monk and don't need to get married. Even before I became a monk, I was a jinx and had my engagement broken off. I don't have a good reputation anymore."
Before becoming a nun, Du Ruheng was the eldest daughter of the Du family. Her fiancé was Wei Yanshan, the young general of the Wei family, with whom she grew up as a child.
When he was thirteen years old, Wei Yanshan was stationed in a border town with his father. They had agreed to get married two years later after Du Ruoheng came of age.
A year and a half later, Wei Yanshan was attacked by bandits on his way back to his hometown to get married and fell off a cliff to his death.
Before she reached the age of 15, Du Ruoheng's fiancé died. She was heartbroken because her childhood playmate, whom she regarded as her life partner, died on the eve of her wedding.
As a result, the usually intelligent Du Ruoheng became somewhat demented and did not notice the malicious looks and calculations around him at all.
By the time she came to her senses, her reputation as a husband-killer had spread throughout the local area.
However, Du Ruoheng didn't care about these things at that time, and she even set up a tablet for Wei Yanshan in the Taoist temple in her capacity as a widow so that he could receive offerings.
After all, Wei Yanshan fell off a cliff and died, and even his body was not found.
This legitimate son of the Wei family finally left a cenotaph in the Wei family's ancestral tomb.
If this matter ended here, it would be a story of separation and death between lovers.
But luck has its way with people.
Who would have thought that Wei Yanshan was not dead at all. When he was at the border, he had an affair with a local woman.
This accidental fall off the cliff was simply a fake death scene he staged himself, just to cancel his engagement with Du Ruoheng without being blamed.
