Chapter 629 Love, Hate, and Revenge
Inside the cabin of the "Little Lanlan".
Zheng Chenggong was forced onto the bed by Li Meiqiang.
"Li Mei Niang, please let me go out and play for a while! My godfather's new ship is being tested, why won't you let me go out and take a look?" Zheng Chenggong looked at Li Mei with a wronged expression.
"Didn't I tell you? From now on, when it's just the two of us, don't call me Li Meiniang. I'm not that old. Just call me Sister Mei!" Li Mei gave Zheng Chenggong a reproachful look and said with a smile, "Don't be silly. Your injuries haven't healed yet. You should focus on recovering and not go out!"
That day, Li Mei and Zheng Chenggong each rode a giant panda as their war pets, charging into the enemy ranks. The bullet Zheng Chenggong took was actually a shield for Li Mei. Li Mei was deeply moved, so she was particularly concerned about Zheng Chenggong's injury. During this time, she stayed by his side every day, taking care of him and helping him recover properly.
Zheng Chenggong grabbed Li Mei's hand and shook it back and forth, pleading, "Sister Mei, please, let me go out and play for a while!"
Li Mei's face fell, and she said irritably, "No way! The sea breeze is so strong, what if you catch a cold if you go out? You should focus on recovering first. Once you're healed, I'll go with you wherever you want to go."
"Sister Mei!" Zheng Chenggong wasn't shy at all. Although he was young, in ancient times, a 12-year-old child could become a father, so he understood matters between men and women.
Since Zheng Chenggong started practicing martial arts with Li Mei, the two have been inseparable. Being of similar age and sharing the same interests, it's inevitable that a romantic relationship would develop over time.
Although Li Mei was a few years older than Zheng Chenggong, young men often have a soft spot for older women. Zheng Chenggong fell in love with Li Mei. However, Li Mei was his godmother, so the young Zheng Chenggong could only secretly keep his feelings hidden in his heart.
Although Zheng Chenggong already displayed the demeanor of a renowned general when fighting, in front of Li Mei, he always seemed like a child, a mischievous younger brother. Well, actually, from a later perspective, Zheng Chenggong really was still a child.
Generally speaking, no matter how old a man is, he often acts like a child in front of a woman he likes. If a man doesn't act like a child in front of his girlfriend, he probably doesn't truly like her.
Li Mei had physical contact with Zheng Chenggong, but she didn't take it to heart. Although men and women are supposed to be separate, they had always practiced martial arts and played together, and holding hands was nothing new. Besides, she always treated Zheng Chenggong like a child.
Young Zheng Chenggong enjoyed this feeling very much. He grabbed Li Mei's hand and shook it repeatedly, "Sister Mei, please, let me go out and play for a while!"
"No! Stop it!" Li Mei was a little angry. This brat, he's like an old lady, nagging on and on. I'm not letting you go out to play because it's for your own good!
When Zheng Chenggong saw that Li Mei was angry, he quickly said, "Sister Mei, don't be angry!"
Zheng Chenggong thought Li Mei was angry because she had discovered that he had secretly taken advantage of her. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to ask to go out to play anymore. Like a child who had done something wrong, he sat silently on the bed without saying a word.
Although Xiao Zheng came from a humble background—the son of a pirate—and loved martial arts, he had received a formal Confucian education from a young age. The Confucian values of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher were paramount. Li Mei was his godmother; how could he possibly have an affair with her? Xiao Zheng suddenly felt ashamed of his wickedness.
"Sigh..." Li Mei sighed. She thought Xiao Zheng was angry. She thought about it and realized that Xiao Zheng's wound had almost healed after so many days. It would be fine for him to go out and play for a while, as long as he didn't go into the water or do any strenuous exercise.
Thinking of this, Li Mei gently stroked Zheng Chenggong's hair and said softly, "You man, you're getting angry like a little girl. Okay, I'll go out and play with you for a while, but let's make a deal first, you're not allowed to go into the water, and you're not allowed to run around!"
"Mmm!" Zheng Chenggong nodded repeatedly, it seemed that Sister Mei had forgotten that he had taken advantage of her earlier.
Li Mei took Zheng Chenggong's hand and led him to the deck. From a distance, they looked like a loving young couple.
Wang Wenzhou was holding the baby, preparing to go back inside.
Seeing Li Mei and Zheng Chenggong approaching, Wang Wenzhou laughed and scolded, "You little brat, instead of taking care of your injuries, what are you doing out here trying to fool us?"
"Sigh..." Li Mei sighed, gave Zheng Chenggong a resentful look, and complained, "I really have no choice. He was making a fuss inside just now, insisting on coming out to play for a while. I couldn't persuade him to stay, so I could only accompany him for a walk."
Zheng Chenggong quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Father, my injuries have almost healed, it's nothing serious! My father always said that a good man shouldn't be too delicate, what's a little injury like this! I was injured back then, but I still managed to kill three barbarians with my own hands, this little injury is really nothing!"
Wang Wenzhou curled his lips. He increasingly felt that compared to Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng was like an awesome protagonist in a novel, who had been cheating since childhood and possessed the aura of a king.
"You little brat, go play!" Wang Wenzhou waved to Li Mei and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, his injury is almost healed, don't pay any attention to him."
Li Mei nodded and quickly ran to Wang Wenzhou's side. Wang Wenzhou hugged Li Mei and kissed her.
Zheng Chenggong saw it all, and it pained him deeply. Well... how to put it? It wasn't that his heart truly ached, but he always felt something strange, something very uncomfortable! Young Zheng was inexperienced; actually, he was jealous! Seeing the girl he liked being affectionate with another man would make any man uncomfortable.
"You little brat, you can play by yourself. We're leaving!" Wang Wenzhou said, then put one arm around Li Mei and the other around Chen Yuanyuan, and strolled back into the house. Liu Li, Li Ling, and Daenerys followed behind him.
As Zheng Chenggong watched Wang Wenzhou and the babies' retreating figures, a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him. "A true man should be like this! Surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines! When I grow up, I will be like my godfather, marrying many beautiful girls, and I will definitely marry a girl as beautiful as Sister Mei as my principal wife!"
……
Shaanxi, the main tent of the rebel leader Li Zicheng.
Gao Guiying looked at her sister Gao Guilan's memorial tablet with tears in her eyes, heartbroken. Li Zicheng sat to the side, unsure how to comfort his wife.
This day was supposed to be Gao Guilan's birthday, but now the sisters are separated forever, and Gao Guiying's heart aches as if it were being cut by a knife.
The two sisters' mother passed away when Gao Guilan was 4 years old. Gao Guiying was 12 years old that year. As the eldest sister, she raised her younger sister Gao Guilan like a mother.
Under Gao Guiying's tutelage, Gao Guilan not only excelled in needlework and knitting but also became well-versed in classical texts. Her grandfather once said that if Gao Guilan had been a boy, she would surely have been a top scholar.
If Gao Guilan had died of illness, Gao Guiying wouldn't be so heartbroken. But her beloved younger sister was killed by Wang Wenzhou! If it weren't for Wang Wenzhou, her sister might already be married and a mother. How could Gao Guilan not be devastated!
Gao Guilan secretly resolved to avenge her sister. She knew, of course, that if she told Li Zicheng her intention to assassinate Wang Wenzhou, he would certainly not agree. Therefore, Gao Guilan decided to take a few trusted confidants and secretly assassinate Wang Wenzhou to avenge her sister!
