Chapter 738: Poor Cousin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Xie Pinggang finished speaking, he excitedly handed the letter to Zhou Weizong.
Zhou Weizong was confused.
Cousin? Which cousin? Why was he staying at the Xie Residence? Could he be from his aunt’s family? That was not right either. If that was it, why would Xie Pinggang send a letter?!
Zhou Weizong was puzzled and opened the letter in confusion.
However, when he opened the letter, he was dumbfounded.
What was written on it?!
It was not some random cousin brother, but his cousin sister Yu Xian. She was actually staying in the Xie Residence?!
The letter clearly stated that the Dong’an Yu family was preparing to marry his cousin to anyone. She was unwilling, so she fled. It… was the right call.
However… for the sake of her own safety, she could only disguise herself as a man. Later on, she wanted to come to his Zhou Residence, but because she was dressed too shabbily, she did not even enter the main gate!
By chance, she met an expert, and with the guidance of the expert, she entered the Xie Residence and became a martial arts instructor…
In addition, her cousin also asked him if it was convenient for her to go to the Zhou Residence to lay low for the time being. Apart from that, she wanted to know if the Zhou family had received any letters from the Yu family, and would they send her back home to get married…
If the Zhou family could protect her for a while, she would definitely behave herself and be a proper young lady, not embarrassing the Zhou family.
In the entire letter, his cousin’s helplessness was expressed clearly.
Zhou Weizhong suddenly remembered that recently… There were indeed elders in the family who asked about his cousin.
In their words, they said that his cousin did not seem to respect her elders. After her parents passed away, she became more ambitious…
After reading the letter, Zhou Weizhong more or less understood what happened.
The family must have received the letter long ago.
That was why they were asking him for his cousin’s whereabouts!
If he told them what happened, the family would definitely send someone to bring his cousin back to Dong’an!
Zhou Weizong was very conflicted.
It was because of… Xie Pinggang.
“Brother Xie, my cousin… brother, is there anything that he’s not adapting in your home?” Zhou Weizong was not at ease with Xie Pinggang.
Look at what he said just now!
He actually said that he wished he could sleep with his cousin!
How could that be?!
“Of course he’s adapting! I can mistreat anyone else, but not your cousin!” Xie Pinggang said matter-of-factly.
“Then… Can you tell me what my cousin does on a daily basis?” Zhou Weizong asked with concern.
Xie Pinggang thought for a moment. “He would occasionally go out shopping and say that he’s looking for his family members. He usually stays in my house and practices martial arts before dawn. It’s just right for my taste, so I sparred with him. He practiced martial arts in the morning and taught my younger brother in the afternoon. We pay him ten taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation.”
Zhou Weizong opened his mouth. Looking at Xie Pinggang, he could not describe how he felt.
She had to get up and fight with such a bear before dawn?!
He had really wronged his poor cousin to death!

Although they had not seen each other for many years, his cousin was still a woman after all. Her body was delicate and weak. Even if she knew some martial arts, how could she withstand Xie Pinggang’s fist?!
Ten taels of silver a month was not a small amount, but to his cousin, it was extremely pitiful!
When her parents were still alive, her monthly allowance was more than that. Now that she had worked so hard and earned so little, he did not know if she still had money left to buy cosmetics and clothes!
However, in this letter, his cousin praised the Xie family.
She said that Young Lady Xie was kind-hearted and Xie Pinggang was straightforward. She even said that Xie Pinghuai was a worthy successor for martial arts training…
Sigh, that silly cousin.. She had never seen how Xie Pinggang interrogated criminals in the criminal division. If she knew, she probably would not be able to say these words!
