Chapter 357 - Zhu Yurun (2)

Zhu Yurun felt a bit regretful. Why had she so stupidly decided to help him? He was a womanizer. He was the one that had violated her!

However, her anger leaked out as soon as she thought of his face.

She simply couldn't even start to dislike him, and even felt secretly delighted as she thought about him. He was going to be an official in the capital, right? They would definitely meet again. He might even marry her!

A woman in love was an idiot that was filled to the brim with unrealistic delusions. As she sat in the moving carriage, she seemed to vaguely see his stunned figure from faraway.

However, her older brother berated her the entire journey home. He said that no man would be willing to accept a woman that would do that sort of thing.

Zhu Yurun felt discouraged after the long period of scolding.

Later on, she discovered that she was pregnant.

She could be considered to have single-handedly ruined Zhu family's reputation. Her father couldn't raise his head in the imperial court. Zhu Yurun felt very ashamed. But, when her father furiously said that he would find that man, she was actually quite happy.

Since she was pregnant, it was even more likely that he would marry her, right?

However, no news came of this search. She waited and waited. The end result was that there were too many officials that came from Xu Province. It wouldn't be good for them to directly ask one by one. They could only secretly inquire.

It took several months to complete the inquiries, and her belly gradually got bigger. Zhu Yurun watched as the gra.s.s on the walls changed from withered to viridescence. That person still hadn't been found.

”Keep your distance from Zhu family's Miss. Stay away from that shameless creature.” An a.s.sortment of mothers would warn their daughters.

When a.s.sistant Minister Zhu's concubines went to look for matchmakers for Zhu Yurun, they would see the reputable matchmakers repeatedly shake their heads and respond with, ”Miss Zhu? Aiyo, even if my tongue was made of gold, I wouldn't be able to matchmake her with someone. Who would dare to marry her?!”

Rumors were dreadful things. It wasn't clear who had spread the gossip, but it got worse and worse. They said that she had violated a man and that she was pregnant with an illegitimate baby.

Zhu Yurun really wanted to cry. There was many times when she couldn't stay silent and retorted that she hadn't done that, but no one believed her. Instead, her denial only made their mocking even worse.

However, the concubines at home sided with her and gently said that it wasn't her fault.

Zhu Yurun got over it.  She would find a man to marry her. It was okay that people cursed at her, but she didn't want her child to be cursed at with her as soon as it was born.

However, that person appeared after she had found Teacher Ji.

Zhu Yurun had been overjoyed. When she rushed towards him in high spirits, she only ended up shocking him.
