I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 377 Want to cry but no tears

Chapter 377 Tears welling up but no tears remaining.

Wang Wenzhou lay in the hospital bed, and the babies all had dark circles under their eyes and their eyes were red and swollen.

Imperial Physician Wen placed his hand on Wang Wenzhou's arm to take his pulse. Although his expression remained calm, he was extremely anxious. Wang Wenzhou had been unconscious for five days, and the Emperor sent people to inquire about his condition every day. Imperial Physician Wen felt that if Wang Wenzhou really didn't wake up, he could forget about being the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, and might even lose his head.

Wang Wenzhou slowly opened his eyes.

"Lord Wang, you're awake!" Physician Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Wenzhou!"

"Husband!"

The babies, still crying, threw themselves onto the bed.

"Ouch!" Gao Guilan touched Wang Wenzhou's wound, and Wang Wenzhou winced in pain.

Imperial Physician Wen quickly said, "Ladies, please don't be agitated! Lord Wang has just woken up and needs to rest. He has been unconscious for so long, he should be nourished. Quickly prepare some food for him, as I must go and report this good news to the Emperor."

"Thank you, Physician Wen," Liu Rushi said quickly.

Physician Wen left in a hurry with a smile on his face.

"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed. Another baby had died because of him. When Ugly Monster died, Wang Wenzhou felt sorry for him, but he wasn't really sad at all. But when Sun Rurui passed away, Wang Wenzhou was very sad.

Seeing Wang Wenzhou's state, Liu Rushi felt very sad. She quickly smiled and said, "Wang Wenzhou, don't be sad. He's already gone. There's no use in being sad."

Wang Wenzhou asked, "I was unconscious for several days. Has Rui Rui been buried?"

"Five days. The funeral will be held after the seventh day after tomorrow. Don't worry, everything is prepared for Sun Rurui's funeral." Liu Rushi gently stroked Wang Wenzhou's head and said softly.

"Make more paper figures, hmm... make a hundred handsome men to burn for her, so she'll have male concubines to play with in the underworld," Wang Wenzhou said heartbrokenly.

"Sigh..." Liu Rushi sighed. Her nemesis was acting up again. Although she wanted to object, seeing how heartbroken her nemesis was, she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

"Uncle, Uncle, don't be sad. Didn't you say that achieving success in youth, losing your wife in middle age, and having a child in old age are the three great joys in life? You should be happy that that little bitch Sun Rurui is dead!" Gao Guilan comforted Wang Wenzhou in a serious tone.

Wang Wenzhou was both amused and exasperated. "My little Lanlan is so adorably silly!" Wang Wenzhou hugged Gao Guilan, kissed her, and gently patted her head, saying with a wry smile, "Little Lanlan is such a good girl."

"Uncle! I have another good news for you!" Gao Guilan thought Wang Wenzhou was praising her.

"Gao Guilan, go to the kitchen and urge them to hurry up and cook!" Liu Rushi wanted to get rid of Gao Guilan, this silly girl, so she wouldn't say anything more.

Wang Ying and the other babies were all shocked, fearing that Gao Guilan might let something slip. Two days ago, Zhao Fengmin and Ge Wei were assassinated on their way to Beijing, and both of them, along with their unborn children, died tragically.

When Zhu Youjian learned of this, he was furious. Wang Wenzhou was still unconscious, and his wives and concubines had been assassinated. Who could possibly hate Wang Wenzhou so much? Zhu Youjian ordered a thorough investigation and assigned the Embroidered Uniform Guard to protect Wang Wenzhou's wives and concubines closely.

However, in the eyes of Liu Rushi and the other girls, these Imperial Guards could be said to be protecting them, but they were also monitoring them. Wang Wenzhou was still recovering from his serious injuries and had just woken up. Liu Rushi and the others did not want to tell Wang Wenzhou about this, fearing that he would be too heartbroken.

"Wait!" Gao Guilan said with a smile, "I'll tell you the good news first, then I'll go to the kitchen right away."

Wang Ying quickly stopped Gao Guilan and urged, "Sister Lanlan, you should go quickly. Your husband must be starving!"

Gao Guilan clearly didn't understand what her sisters meant. She pushed Wang Ying aside and said with a smile, "Uncle, Zhao Fengmin and Ge Wei were assassinated the day before yesterday."

"What?!" Wang Wenzhou was both shocked and furious, he simply couldn't believe his ears.

"Ru Ru, what exactly happened?" Wang Wenzhou looked at Liu Ru Shi and asked in a cold voice.

Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile. Gao Guilan, that silly girl, was truly foolish beyond belief! Now that she could no longer hide it from her enemy, Liu Rushi had no choice but to tell the truth.

Wang Wenzhou felt deeply remorseful. He suddenly recalled a line from Jin Yong's poem: "At Fengling Ferry, we first met; one glimpse of Yang Guo, and my life was forever changed." None of the fans who liked Yang Guo had a "good ending." Could his own fans also suffer because of him?

"Uncle, Uncle, why aren't you happy?" Gao Guilan was genuinely happy because the three dead bitches were all her rivals in love. Of course, it's best if rivals in love are dead!

"Shut up! Get out!" Wang Wenzhou was furious. He was heartbroken, but Gao Guilan was overjoyed.

Gao Guilan's face changed, and she looked aggrieved and wanted to cry. What's wrong, Uncle?

"Go to the kitchen and urge them!" Wang Ying hurriedly pushed Gao Guilan out of the room.

Wang Wenzhou was heartbroken. Two more babies had died, and both were pregnant with his child. Who was it? Who wanted to harm him? It could have been Dorgon. But why would Dorgon bother killing his babies?

I didn't sleep with Dorgon's baby. I have no deep-seated hatred for him. I even gave him six million taels of silver. He couldn't possibly be so heartless!

"Wang Wenzhou, don't be angry, have some milk!" Liu Rushi felt heartbroken seeing Wang Wenzhou's sad state.

"Get out!" Wang Wenzhou wanted to be alone.

"Husband, the dead cannot be brought back to life..." Wang Ying hurriedly advised, but before she could finish her sentence.

Wang Wenzhou then shouted angrily, "Get the hell out of here!"

The children looked at each other in bewilderment. Their nemesis had always spoken to them gently and had never lost his temper with them. For him to act like this today, he must be heartbroken!

Wang Ying looked at Liu Rushi for advice. Among those present, only Liu Rushi could keep Wang Wenzhou in check.

Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile and said softly, "Let's go out and let him have some peace and quiet."

The babies were reluctant to leave the room.

Wang Wenzhou burst into tears.

Wang Ying smiled wryly; it turned out her nemesis was just too embarrassed to cry in front of them. A warmth spread through Wang Ying's heart; beneath her nemesis's carefree exterior lay a pure and kind heart.

"Sister Liu Rushi, let's go in and try to persuade our husband!" This was the first time Chen Yuanyuan had ever seen Wang Wenzhou cry so bitterly. Wang Wenzhou was a madman who could do anything crazy, but now he was crying so sadly that he was completely different from how he used to be.

Zhang Jiao said softly, "A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken. Let your husband cry for a while."

Liu Rushi nodded. Although her husband was a womanizer, he treated his women exceptionally well.

The babies stood frozen outside the door, while Wang Wenzhou's crying inside the room gradually subsided and quieted down.

At this moment, Gao Guilan also came over with a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Liu Rushi took the porridge and said softly, "It's getting late, you should all rest early. I'll go feed my nemesis."

Gao Guilan curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Why should you feed Uncle?"

Zhang Jiao said coldly, "Gao Guilan, stop making a scene! If you hadn't let it slip, would my husband be so heartbroken?"

Gao Guilan wasn't afraid of any of Wang Wenzhou's other babies, but she was afraid of Zhang Jiao. When Zhang Jiao spanked, she was incredibly fierce! One slap would definitely leave a red handprint.

"Hmph!" Gao Guilan sneered and handed the porridge to Liu Rushi.
