Chapter Thirty-Fifth: Wei's Chastity

  Forcing himself not to think about the scene just now, Wang Yu decided to go find his next target.

  It turns out that Wang Yu came to Yangzhou for three reasons: the first reason is naturally because of "Changsheng Jue", the second reason is to take a look at the Double Dragon, and the third reason is that there is a beautiful woman in Yangzhou City - Wei Zhenzhen.

  Wei Zhenzhen was one of the closest people to Double Dragon in his early years, with a beautiful and lovely appearance, a kind and gentle personality. According to the original work, Wang Yu knew that in two years, Wei Zhenzhen would be sold to Old Feng's wife as a concubine, suffering from Old Feng's original wife's beatings and scoldings. However, she had a kind heart and often helped Double Dragon. Later, she fell in love with Yuwen Huaji, and her spirit disappeared into the wind in the chaotic world. She truly deserved to be called "beauty is doomed".

  Wang Yu, who aspired to be a great sage and aimed to save all the women in the world, would not let Wei Zhenzhen off. Moreover, Wei Zhenzhen was clever and had a gentle personality, and what's more, she could make dumplings. Wang Yu loved eating "dumplings" the most.

  Having Wei Zhenzhen is like getting two for the price of one, she can be both a wife and a maid. If Wang Yu were to let her go, it would be as if heaven itself was looking down on him with disdain.

  According to the news he had inquired about beforehand, Wang Yu came to Wei Zhenzhen's home.

  Wei Zhenzhen's family was poor, otherwise she wouldn't have been sold to Old Feng as a concubine. Moreover, in today's society, boys are valued more than girls, and Wei Zhenzhen had no status at home. Wang Yu easily bought Wei Zhenzhen with 100 taels of silver.

  For Wei Zhenzhen's parents, they were originally prepared to sell her off in the next two years anyway. Having raised a beautiful daughter, of course, they had to get something back in return. Not everyone is lucky enough to have parents who truly care about them. Whoever buys her is still buying, and since Wang Yu was so generous with his offer, Wei Zhenzhen's parents wouldn't be foolish enough to push the money away.

  At that time, one hundred taels of silver was already an unimaginable fortune for ordinary families. Apart from those famous courtesans who could make people spend thousands of dollars, it was rare for civilians to sell their children so generously. Wei Zhenzhen's parents had originally planned to sell Wei Zhenzhen for only ten taels of silver and were satisfied with that. They did not expect Wang Yu to be so generous, so they readily gave Wang Yu to Wei Zhenzhen. In their eyes, Wang Yu was the typical representative of being foolish and rich.

  Thus, Wei Zhenzhen, who had just turned seventeen, was sold to Wang Yu.

  As she walked out of the Wei family's door, Wei Zhenzhen followed behind Wang Yu, occasionally stealing glances at him. His clear face had red-rimmed eyes, clearly having just cried. Biting his lip, his heart was racing with anxiety and... anticipation about their future life together.

  The poor man's children are early to take charge of the household, Wei Zhenzhen lives in such a family and has already gained enlightenment. For her parents, she has nothing to resent or be grateful for. The kindness of giving birth and raising her, Wang Yu's one hundred taels of silver have been repaid. From now on, Wei Zhenzhen's entire life will revolve around Wang Yu.

  For the fact that she was sold, Wei Zhenzhen had already mentally prepared herself. Originally thinking that she would be sold to a wealthy merchant who could become her father or grandfather, unexpectedly Wang Yu suddenly appeared and bought her out. For Wei Zhenzhen, this was an unexpected delight. The young and handsome Wang Yu was much better than what she had originally imagined.

  Now Wei Zhenzhen only hopes that Wang Yu will be better to herself in the future and won't casually give herself away. In this era, the status of a maid is very low.

  At this point, Wei Zhenzhen spoke up and said: "Young master, I'm not worth that much money. Actually, if you offer ten taels of silver, my parents will agree to sell me to you."

  Wang Yu smiled and said, "Qing Qing is a priceless treasure in my eyes. Not to mention ten taels of silver, even if it were ten thousand taels of gold, I would not hesitate." For Wang Yu, any problem that could be solved with money was no problem at all. Having money was just so liberating.

  For some women, like Lianlian, money is completely useless. Because she herself lacks nothing, Wang Yu can only choose to develop feelings over time. However, for Wei Zhenzhen, money has become the standard by which she measures herself. For Wei Zhenzhen, who comes from a poor background, Wang Yu's words are the most romantic words he could have spoken. After hearing them, Wei Zhenzhen trembled all over, clearly excited.

  "Sir, Zhenzhen is not worth your attention."

  Wang Yu smiled, and Wei Zhenzhen's reaction was within his expectations. For Wei Zhenzhen, it wasn't difficult to win her heart. She was a woman who regarded her husband as heaven, with a gentle temperament; if Wang Yu treated her well, she would treat him even better.

  "Zhen Zhen, take two steps forward and walk alongside me. I'll go ahead and buy you some clothes and accessories first. You're naturally beautiful, these coarse linen garments don't suit you at all."

  Wei Zhengzhen hastily took two steps forward, catching up with Wang Yu, and whispered: "Young Master, why are you so good to me?"

  Wang Yu looked at Wei Zhenzhen, who had a plain face and didn't wear any makeup, and said warmly: "Zhenzhen, I bought you not to be a slave, but to be my concubine. The more beautiful you are, the happier I am."

  Wei Zhenzhen's face flushed upon hearing Wang Yu's words, but she didn't show much surprise. It was clear that she had expected this all along. She was also well aware of her own beauty. Although she wasn't arrogant, she didn't belittle herself either. When Wang Yu spent a hundred taels of silver to buy her, it was obvious that he hadn't done so for her to do odd jobs.

  As the concubine of Wang Yu, Wei Zhenzhen had already mentally prepared herself. Wang Yu was young and wealthy, with a charming demeanor. Wei Zhenzhen didn't show much disgust, instead feeling that she was quite lucky.

  Wang Yu took Wei Zhenzhen to stroll around the prosperous Yangzhou city, and whenever they saw a jewelry store or a tailor's shop, they would go in and take a look. They would let Wei Zhenzhen try on clothes that Wang Yu admired, and if he thought they were good, he would buy them.

  It has to be said that the shopping attribute of women from ancient times to the present is the same. With Wei Zhenzhen's gentle and elegant temperament, she strolled around for half a day without feeling tired at all. Wang Yu could clearly sense Wei Zhenzhen's excitement, which was an unprecedented experience in her 17 years of life.

  After all, Wei Zhenzhen was also a poor and pitiful child. A hint of pain flashed through Wang Yu's heart. The poor family is full of sorrows, in the past, every day, Wei Zhenzhen had to run around for tea, rice, oil, and salt, her frail shoulders bearing the heavy responsibilities that she shouldn't have shouldered at such a young age. From now on, I'll protect you. Maybe I can't give Wei Zhenzhen true love, but giving her a worry-free life, letting her not have to run around for survival, is still something I can do.

  No matter what, it can't be just standing by and watching Wei Zhenzhen walk down the same old path as in the original story, ending up with a tragic finale. Wang Yu has already come to this world and changed the fate of many people, so he doesn't mind adding one more person, Wei Zhenzhen.
