Farmers in the courtyard

Lou Xiao'e saw Wang Zhendong's emotions, but she did not ask.

Wang Zhendong was just feeling emotional, thinking about the mood Emperor Chongzhen had when he hung himself on this old locust tree with a crooked neck.

Continuing to stroll around, the two of them chatted as they walked. In the end, Wang Zhendong finally said what he wanted to say.

"Xiao'e, what kind of relationship do you and I have?"

Many issues, especially the relationship between men and women, cannot be pretended blindly. During this period, Lou Xiaoe and him were actually deliberately avoiding this issue.

But today, Wang Zhendong is ready to make it clear.

Lou Xiao'e realized something from Wang Zhendong's tone. The smile on her face disappeared instantly, but she soon regained her smile.

Looking at the city scenery in the distance, she smiled and said: "We should be good friends, or I may be your confidante."

Lou Xiao'e knew clearly because her father told her that Wang Zhendong's status made it unlikely that he would marry her.

But she also didn't want to lose Wang Zhendong. She felt that it would be good to be able to accompany Wang Zhendong in this life, even as a friend.

It’s good to be able to see, talk and joke from time to time.

She does not blame Wang Zhendong, and also understands that her own identity is the reason why the two cannot get together. She can only say that this is a mistake of the times.

Wang Zhendong stopped and looked at Lou Xiao'e seriously. How could he not feel the complex emotions in Lou Xiao'e's heart.

He is also very complicated, but if he continues like this, it is likely that Lou Xiaoe will fall deeper and deeper into the situation.

Therefore, he decided to explain it openly and honestly.

Because the longer they got along, his mentality gradually changed, and he was also condemned by his conscience. His original thoughts were unfair to Lou Xiao'e.

Since you can't marry the other person, you shouldn't continue. It will hurt Lou Xiao'e and make him suffer in the future.

He used to think about letting Lou Xiao'e be his lover, but now it seems so ridiculous and shameless. The longer they get along, the stronger this feeling becomes.

Unless he doesn't get married, that's almost the same, but can he not get married?

It was obvious that there was no way he would not get married.

In this case, it was too cruel and unfair to Lou Xiao'e. It was not something a man would do, and it also exceeded his bottom line as a human being.

I asked Lou Xiao'e to come out today, and I originally planned to take the opportunity to make it clear so that Lou Xiao'e could wake up in time.

"Xiao'e, I think you should also know what I want to say."

Wang Zhendong looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile, and Lou Xiao'e also looked at him, her eyes showing true affection for Wang Zhendong. She didn't shed tears but still smiled.

"I know, you don't want to say it. I don't want you to say it. This is how we are. It's fine."

Hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, Wang Zhendong couldn't say anything.

At this moment, he knew that Lou Xiao'e knew better than him and understood it all. What else could he say?

Fortunately, during this period of communication, he was still able to maintain the bottom line, and at most they held hands.

People are emotional animals, and emotions are often inexplicable. It doesn't matter if you don't have feelings at first, but after you have been together for a long time, it will be different.

Even if it is friendship, it still prevents him from doing anything to hurt Lou Xiao'e. This is why he has become increasingly uneasy about his conscience during this time.

The mistake has been made and cannot be undone. Perhaps, as Lou Xiao'e said, it is fine just like this, but it may fade away slowly.

When he meets someone who wants to get married and is able to get married, Lou Xiaoe might give up.

"Then we will be best friends from now on..."

Wang Zhendong still said something against his will, lying to Lou Xiaoe and herself. Lou Xiaoe also knew it, but she laughed and nodded vigorously to Wang Zhendong.

Wang Zhendong also laughed, feeling even more guilty. He reached out and rubbed Lou Xiao'e's hair.

"Sorry, I can't be a bad person..."

Lou Xiao'e enjoyed Wang Zhendong's big hands very much and understood the meaning of Wang Zhendong's words. She smiled and replied: "I know, you are a good person..."

During this period, when women say you are a good person, there is no ambiguity. They really think you are a good person.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e laughing like this made Wang Zhendong feel a lot more at ease.

Then we continued to play with Lou Xiao'e and didn't mention this topic again. We had already talked about it and it was tacit.

In fact, it was tacitly understood before, but now the tacit understanding has a different meaning.

Reality is reality after all. Wang Zhendong experienced the cruelty and helplessness of reality, but he did not get what he imagined and got a lover.

Instead, it made me feel uneasy and embarrassed.

He even began to wonder if the way he opened it was wrong.

In other fan fiction, why are these women willing to be lovers, and still be able to serve the same husband together, happily.

Why doesn't it work for him?

Is he worthy and established again?

But reality is reality, and he can't change it!

Maybe it’s because his charm isn’t up to par!

Wang Zhendong was also helpless about this.

Again, he can't ignore his family. His career doesn't matter to him, but his family can't be implicated by him just because he does whatever he wants.

Unless he really wants to leave the country and take away all his family members, it may not be possible at the moment, and it is completely unnecessary.

For Lou Xiao'e, he wouldn't be allowed to do all this.

I would rather give up and just be a friend or confidante as I am now, that's fine.

In fact, at the beginning, it was also for Lou Runkang's line, just in case, so as to have a way out.

It seems okay to keep it like this for now.

I just felt very sorry for Lou Xiao'e and made Wang Zhendong think about making amends and helping her if he had the opportunity in the future.

It was getting late, so Wang Zhendong sent Lou Xiao'e home before returning to No. 95 Courtyard. But not long after returning to the small courtyard, Zhang Shaozheng came.

He brought a perfect tiger skin, which belonged to the male tiger, and four jars of tiger bone wine, sealed with mud.

The other jar contains tiger penis medicine wine and a pair of tiger bones from the front paws.

After helping to move the things into the main house, Zhang Shaozheng said: "That's it. I've settled things with Dahe Hall. You're not at a loss. The processing of tiger bones and tiger skins is too time-consuming, and the medicinal materials in the medicinal wine are also very... precious..."

Wang Zhendong nodded. He also inquired about it later. The processing of tiger bones and tiger skins was indeed very laborious. It involved many techniques and was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Picking up a front paw, it was complete and the tendons on it were translucent. Sure enough, it was handled quite well.

There is no odor at all, but a medicinal aroma.

The grease has been completely removed, and such tiger bones will not become rancid no matter how many years they are left.

Removing the oil and retaining the bone marrow is a process that cannot be accomplished by large pharmacies that have not been passed down for a long time.

There is also tiger skin, which feels really comfortable in your hands, smooth and soft, and still does not have any odor.

These things, if not handled properly, can easily emit odors that are very unpleasant.

Afterwards, putting down the tiger skin, Wang Zhendong made tea for Zhang Shaozheng. Zhang Shaozheng also asked about his new job and his trip to the Soviet Union in a few days.
