Rebirth: Degenerate Slave Abuses Tyrant

After leaving camp, Luo Wei headed east until the end of a mountain pass before stopping.

Wei Lan asked, “Is the young master waiting for someone?”

Luo Wei answered, “Mm. Let’s wait here for a bit.”

Half an hour later, a bunch of people who looked to be the part of a caravan stopped in front of Luo Wei’s group.

Luo Wei opened the conversation by asking the only woman in the group, “Miss, are you Ye Xiu?”

The girl named Ye Xiu looked at Luo Wei. This person threw her name around as if he was familiar with her, but she didn’t know him at all.

Luo Wei smiled, “My name is Luo Wei, Luo Qi is my older brother.”

Hearing that this young man was Luo Qi’s younger brother, Ye Xiu’s face grew a few shades redder as she sat on her horse, “Did Luo Qi ask you to come?”

Luo Wei pointed at a neglected and derelict stone pavilion, “Let’s sit down and talk.”

Ye Xiu dismounted, following Luo Wei into the pavilion without a single suspicion in her mind. She sat down opposite him so that they were face to face.

This was the first time that Luo Wei saw Ye Xiu, but he remembered this name for ten years in his past life. Ye Xiu, the daughter of a runaway slave, the leader of Ji Feng Fort located at Mount Wu. She was the boss of a group of mounted bandits, but was also the reason that his older brother, Luo Qi, had never married. Luo Wei looked at Ye Xiu in front of him. Dressed in all red with tanned skin, she wasn’t terribly pretty, but she had a sort of heroic bearing and experienced look that was rare in women. She was tall, with a pair of high spirited eyes that were long and tapered at the end. In the past life, Luo Qi had never revealed Ye Xiu’s existence to his family even in death. But in the last moment of his life, when everyone betrayed him and left him behind, it was this woman who single-handedly rode into battle against an entire army to find him. In the end, the two of them died together, flesh and blood mixing with one another’s as their bodies sunk into the yellow sands, never to be separated by anyone else.

Ye Xiu was also considering Luo Wei. From his age, this must have been Luo Qi’s third younger brother from what he had told her. How pretty he was.

“My older brother has kept us from meeting you,” Luo Wei spoke. In his past life, he’d only learned of Ye Xiu when she passed. In this life, he wouldn’t let himself feel this sort of regret again.

Ye Xiu smiled, exasperated, “Then how does the third young master know about me?”

Luo Wei smiled too, “My second oldest brother’s kid can already walk and yet my oldest brother hasn’t married. As the youngest brother, I have to pay attention to these things. My oldest brother is very careful, but to find out about Miss Ye’s existence isn’t difficult.”

Ye Xiu asked, “How much does the third young master know about me?”

Luo Wei answered, “Enough to know that Miss Ye’s heritage is a little awkward for us.”

Ye Xiu’s smile disappeared immediately. She was the daughter of an escaped slave. With this status, being with Luo Qi was an impossible dream. She knew this better than anyone.

Luo Wei continued, “I want to attempt to persuade Miss Ye to leave my oldest brother, would Miss Ye comply?”

Ye Xiu shook her head, “I don’t care about his status or his name.”

Luo Wei asked, “Is there a single woman in the world who doesn’t care about having proper status in a household?”

Ye Xiu’s expression was unchanged as she answered Luo Wei, “I don’t. Just being with him is enough.”

“Ah, ‘to surrender everything for a single night of happiness with him?'” Luo Wei smiled as he watched Ye Xiu.

“What?” Ye Xiu wasn’t a cultivated woman, she didn’t understand Luo Wei’s quote.

If he hadn’t known how they ended up, Luo Wei really wouldn’t want Luo Qi to be in love with a woman like this. Her way of life and theirs were too different, and she was nothing like the girls around them. Even though his second sister-in-law Xu Yue Miao was a hunter’s daughter, but no one can dispute the fact that she was a bona fide beauty with a gentle disposition. Her embroidery was first-class, and can she can hold her own whether in front of guests or in front of the stove. A good wife as well as a good mother. Which part of Ye Xiu appealed to his oldest brother, Luo Qi?
