El árbol cool revive en primavera

[Copywriting]

Like a cool tree that blooms in spring, spring after spring.

Who does "cool wood" refer to? And who does "spring" refer to?

The Buddha said: It cannot be spoken of; the benefactor can discover it for himself.

The story tells of:

After a woman and a man fall in love... (This statement is questionable)

After a woman and a man appreciate each other... (This statement is questionable)

Perhaps one day, as time marches on and you grow old, you'll find that the person sleeping beside you isn't the one you loved in the past, but rather the one who cherishes you now. (This statement is highly questionable.)

Chapter One: Prologue

Young Master Rong has broken the poison array of Qixuan Kingdom!

General Wu has undermined the military prestige of Crown Prince Qixuan!

Today in Ningcheng, myths about General Wu Sheng and Assistant Rong Yue are circulating everywhere, telling stories of how they charged into battle and how they defeated the enemy. The storytellers in the teahouses speak fluently and vividly, making it impossible not to be impressed.

Meanwhile, inside Huajun Pavilion, a victory celebration banquet was about to begin. What kind of place is Huajun Pavilion? It's the largest brothel in Ningcheng!

Wu Sheng, as the Grand General, sat at the head of the table. His eyes gleamed. He was just over forty years old and a seasoned veteran of Qi Tian Kingdom's many foreign wars, yet his behavior was somewhat improper. Holding this victory celebration banquet at Hua Jun Pavilion suited him quite well.

However, following his gaze, what he saw was not the top courtesan, nor any shy beauty, but a handsome and leisurely servant standing next to Rong Yue!

The Rong family is a prominent family in Ningcheng. Rong Yue's assistance in defeating Qixuan Army as an assistant manager is a great achievement. However, at this moment, he blocked the view of many beautiful women, followed Wu Sheng's gaze to look at the person beside him, slowly picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. His eyes were deep and he seemed to be pondering something.

“Manager Rong, this victory over the enemy is truly gratifying. Shouldn’t we have a drink?” Wu Sheng finally turned his gaze to Rong Yue.

A flash of impatience crossed Rong Yue's eyes. He slowly raised his wine cup. Since there was no beauty by his side, a servant stepped forward to pour him some wine.

But when Rong Yue raised his glass, Wu Sheng remained unmoved.

“My wine glass is still empty,” Wu Sheng said, his eyes revealing a lewd glint.

It would have been reasonable for Rong Yue's servant to pour wine for Wu Sheng in this situation, but the look in his eyes was simply unbearable to look at.

"Clang!" The wine pot fell to the ground with a crash, shattering into pieces. The servant's face flushed red and then turned pale, her delicate hand already being grabbed by Wu Sheng! To openly commit homosexuality in broad daylight, Wu Sheng was far too audacious! All the soldiers and beauties present stared in disbelief.

"Clang!" Another mess ensued. When they turned around, Rong Yue's wine cups and tableware had all been swept to the ground, and his robes were covered in a large water stain. No one dared to make a sound.

Everyone could see that Rong Yue was doing it on purpose, provoked by Wu Sheng's audacious act.

"Oh dear! Look how soaked our young master Rong is! Xiao Kui, quickly take him to the warm pavilion next door to change his clothes." The madam arrived just in time to smooth things over.

"I have servants with me, so there's no need to trouble them. I apologize for spoiling everyone's mood. Shen Mo, go change your clothes!" Rong Yue said as he walked out.

The attendant behind him, Shen Mo, quickly broke free from Wu Sheng's grip and followed.

Wu Sheng was extremely unwilling. He had acted on impulse and lost face in front of everyone to get the person, thinking it would be easy. However, seeing the situation, it was extremely difficult. Thinking of that elegant and beautiful face, Wu Sheng couldn't help but frown and sigh.

Inside the warm pavilion, Shen Mo tugged at Rong Yue, who was staring at him intently: "Young Master, someone else might come in at any time. Are you going to keep watching like this?"

Rong Yue's eyes flashed, and with a forceful pull, he dragged Shen Mo into one of the cubicles, forcing her to back away until they were against the screen. Then, he wrapped his hand around her waist.

"You don't need to come out with me next time, just stay in the manor." Rong Yue buried his face in the crook of her neck, his hot breath tickling her.

Shen Mo hugged him and snuggled closer. "I am your servant, it's my duty. I know he's attracted to men, I'll just wear women's clothes next time, but..." Remembering Wu Sheng's blunt attitude earlier, he definitely wouldn't let it go. He might even come to the Rong residence to demand her back one day, which wasn't unheard of. Shen Mo raised her face: "You still need to cooperate with him, but how do we end this?"

His brow furrowed, and a fierce look appeared on Rong Yue's face. "How dare he take my woman so easily!"

Shen Mo smiled, her fingers touching a cold patch of water on his side. She quickly pulled him away, saying, "Young Master, the weather is cold and damp. Don't catch a cold." Little did she know that most of their weight was on the screen, and this step back knocked it over.

Shen Mo felt like she kept hearing loud noises all day long. First, a wine pot broke, then a wine cup broke, and now it was her turn to break. She smiled and pinched Rong Yue, who was acting as her cushion, before she was about to get up from him when she saw the little maid standing to the side with wide eyes.

"Um... um, my mother asked me to bring Young Master Rong a set of clean clothes, I..." He stammered, swallowed hard as he looked at the two of them, and then simply dropped the clothes and ran out!

Shen Mo blinked, watching the maid gradually disappear. "Young Master, this..."

Recalling the maid's gaze, Rong Yue shook his head: "I've lost out."

"Losing money?"

After getting up again, seeing her slightly raised face, her watery eyes sharp and clear, her eyes like a crescent moon and a pear blossom, he couldn't help but stroke her. His eyes were deep and thoughtful, and with a flicker of his gaze, he said, "It seems like it's not a bad deal."

Chapter Two: Two Lifetimes

The heatwave is intense, the wind has stopped and the clouds have cleared; summer always makes the whole space feel stuffy and suffocating. However, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is somewhat of an exception.

At this moment, the sky is ablaze with red clouds, and the pool water ripples accordingly.

"Dong Yun!"

A sudden cry, like a gust of wind, tore through the auspicious clouds. It came from the backyard of a servant in the Rong family mansion in Ningcheng.

A young woman lay on the bed, her hair damp with sweat, her face pale and lifeless. She appeared to be dead, but her face was serene, turned slightly to the side. In her direction lay an infant, half-covered by a cloth, just born, yet with eyes as bewildered and serene as an adult's.

There were two other people beside the bed. One was sobbing uncontrollably, leaning against the edge of the bed, while the other gently patted and comforted him.

"Mo An, I know you were on good terms with Dong Yun, but he's gone now. At least the child was saved. Don't grieve too much and ruin your health."

The woman who had been weeping bent over raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked at the newcomer with gratitude: "Thank you for your care, Aunt Xia. I am grateful."

Her gaze fell upon Dong Yun's serene face, and a pang of heartache shot through her again. She and Dong Yun had entered the Rong household as maids together, sharing hardships for years, becoming like sisters. Who knew that last year, an army would suddenly be stationed in Ningcheng, and Dong Yun and a soldier surnamed Shen among them would fall for each other. However, just as Dong Yun discovered she was pregnant, the
