My Loyal and Lovely Husband

“Why?” says Wang Mu with his eyes opening wide, staring at his master eagerly. However, Cheng Yu shuts his mouth and turns back to Wang Mu with unspeakable sorrowfulness and sadness. “It’s alright this time, but you can’t make the same mistake again. If so, I cannot protect you any more.” Says Cheng Yu with a tired and overworked voice, and his thin fingers hidden in his sleeves keep shivering. “Wang Mu, we were brought up together. You should know I never eats my words. I don’t want to drive you out of Cheng’s family.”

Warned by Cheng Yu, Wang Mu lowers his head and closes his eyes. “Yes, sir! I am aware of this fact and will never forget.” After that, Wang Mu stands up and goes out of the room. With a clang, the door closes, leaving Cheng Yu standing by himself in the brightness of the candle light, accompanied only by his lonely shadow.

Under the crescent moonlight, some people feel happy, while others feel sad. After a day’s work, Jin Weiwei prepares to go home. She was busy with doing business this afternoon till the evening, because this morning, only Tao Xiaoqing worked in the meat-shop, busy with cutting and selling meat; thus customers crowded in front of the meat-shop till the evening.

The busy day robs them of the their time to have a meal. They eat nothing. Jin Weiwei says to Tao Xiaoqing, “We are so tired today. I don’t want to cook anything. Just heat up the porridge this morning.” “Alright, my boss.” Tao Xiaoqing is also tired this day. Jin Weiwei rushes to the kitchen and opens the door. However, looking into the pot makes her almost crazy. She finds that the porridge in the pot has been eaten up only with a few rice sticking to the pot wall.

The lid of the pot has been thrown aside, with a pair of chopsticks and a bowl resting there. In a word, the kitchen is messed up, just like being robbed. It must be Jin Dabao! Turning around abruptly, she rushes to Jin Dabao. She kicks the door open angrily, and shouts, “Jin Dabao! Get out of the room!”

However, to her surprise, nothing happens. Jin Weiwei steps into the room and finds that there’s nobody in the room. Jin Weiwei begins to worry that he stole her money and squandered it. Thinking of that, she immediately rushes back to her room, where everything as she expected just now was turned upside down. Her new quilt was thrown down to the dirty floor. Soon, she is burnt with anger. Although her money has been hidden in the magic space, her room is still filled with some precious items. Then, Jin Weiwei hurries to check her jewelry box, where her jade hairpin has disappeared. That jade hairpin was left by her mother. Days ago, she found that the hairpin is broken, so she put it into the jewelry box in order to repair it someday.

“Jin Dabao! I will never let you go!” Says Jin Wiewei, rushing out of the room angrily. She happens to meet Little Rich. Seeing her frowned eyebrows and angry eyes, Little Rich asks, “What’s up?” Then he looks into Jin Weiwei’s room, where everything is messed up. Obviously, someone broke in. No surprise, it must be done by Jin Dabao. “I look for him now.” After that, Little Rich disappears, leaving Jin Weiwei standing there stunned by what happened just now. Jin Weiwei has been too enraged to notice that Little Rich has already vanished. “Xiaoqing, you go with me to find Jin Dabao.” Jin Dabao can’t go far away from home because the stove is still warm. She must find him before he sells the hairpin.

“Yes, my boss!” Sighs Tao Xiaoqing, thinking that his boss is so unlucky to have such a greedy and vicious father. Little Rich starts with several pubs that Jin Dabao frequently visits. With the money, Jin Dabao either buys wines or pays for sex. It seems that Jin Weiwei does not notice that recently Jin Dabao often returns with fragrance on his shirt. If he didn’t pay for sex, he must have lovers outside. Failing to find him in several pubs, Little Rich goes to check the popular whorehouses in the county.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

The most popular whorehouse in Linshui County is Feng Ya Ge. With prostitutes and pimps, Feng Ya Ge is really popular among those officers and the rich. “Aha, my master, you look fresh here. Is it the first time to go there? You want a beautiful lady or a handsome young man? We have everything you want!” Says the procuress whose voice is so sweet like melted sugar, which makes Little Rich feel disgusted. It’s reasonable for her to treat him like that, because the cold face and arrogant voice of Little Rich makes him just sound like some big shot!

“I am here to find someone.” Replies Little Rich with a cold voice and frowned eyebrows. Then he takes out a piece of silver to the manager of the whorehouse and steps in. Searching in the hall, he finds nothing. Then he comes to the second floor, where he finds Jin Dabao in the room located in the corner of the east with a pimp in his arms. Little Rich feels disgusted about that. Then he kicks the door open, and hears Jin Dabao shouting loudly, “Who? Who dare…you?” Seeing Little Rich, Jin Dabao is so scared that he stands up abruptly with the pimp dropping onto the ground. Little Rich takes a glimpse at that pimp who is even more beautiful and delicate than a young girl. It’s no surprise that Jin Dabao is attracted to go there.

“Take out of the hairpin!” Shouts Little Rich, stretching his hand, a beautiful and thin hand with clear shapes. With a chill, Jin Dabao starts to make up, “What? Hairpin? What hairpin? I don’t know.” The moment he raises his head, Jin Dabao has already dropped to his keens with his hands twisted dramatically by Little Rich. His face twists with pain. “I really don’t know the hairpin…Aha!” Before he finishes his words, a severe pain overwhelms his body and the room is filled with his screaming like a pig killed by the knife. “Take out of the hairpin!” “Already sold out!” Shouts Jin Dabao. His screaming attracts many people.

“Sold to whom?” asks Little Rich. “Cheng’s pawnshop!” Hearing that, Little Rich leaves Jin Dabao and grabs his purse fixed to his waist. A servant at the door who takes a look at Little Rich runs out of the whorehouse. Little Rich finds Jin Weiwei who has already been driven to crazy. Seeing Little Rich, Jin Weiwei asks, “Find him?” “Cheng’s pawnshop!” Replies Little Rich.
