Their destination was Lingxi Mountain at the southwestern corner of Nanfeng County. Lingxi Mountain was very beautiful with various landscapes. It was said that rhinoceros appeared there in ancient times, and hence it was named Lingxi Mountain, literally rhinoceros mountain.
From Nanfeng County to the foot of Lingxi Mountain, it was less than a hundred miles, which was not a long journey. However, because of the female members, the carriage needed to slow down, taking three or four days.
On their third day away from home, they were caught up when they were at the sight of Lingxi Mountain. The leading person was the chief steward Sheng Fu favored by Sheng Lanci.
“Eldest Childe, Eldest Master ordered me to ask you something important!” After Sheng Fu caught up with the team, with no time to say hello to everyone, he rushed to the carriage and raised the curtain. He made sure that Eldest Master’s sweetheart was safe and sound, though she was frigh
This young manservant was sent by Sheng Lanci, “Second Miss, Master asked me to tell you that Childe and you are arranged to go to Feng Family and congratulate them tomorrow. Please pay close attention to Childe and make sure that Childe will go and come back with you together. Please never let Childe go anywhere else!”“Where will he go?” Sheng Weiqiao was puzzled. “It seems that his biological mother passed away. Or does he want to go back to his foster elder brother?”The young manservant said with a smile, “Well… I don’t know about this. I think it’s because Childe’s injuries haven’t cured yet, so Master worries about him.”Sheng Weiqiao snorted and said, “Since father worries about him so much, why does he still ask him to go to Feng Family with me? Why not just lock him here?”Although she said that, Sheng Weiqiao still knew that Sheng Lanci took Sheng Shuihe back was definitely because he was expecting this son to take over
When the six brothers of Feng Family and Xuanyu She were almost about to commit suicide, Sheng Weiqiao just woke up slowly.When she opened her eyes and saw that the curtain above her head was shaking, she thought it was because of the wind. But then when she felt that the place where she was lying was also shaking steadily, she was freaking out and sat up suddenly. Looking out of the porthole beside the bed, there was a vast sea outside!Sheng Weiqiao was stunned immediately!!!First, she pinched her arm hard. After confirming that she was not dreaming, she picked up the neatly folded clothes on the side of the bed in a hurry and quickly got dressed. Then she looked around in horror: this was a very simple bedroom and there was nothing inside except a bed, a curtain, a desk, a chair, and a screen.There was a set of four treasures of study on the desk. The water stains in inkstone were still not dry and it seemed that it has been
Hearing that, Xu Baomo was surprised. Without answering her question, he said, “That ship belongs to Brother Hengshu? But last night… they wanted to bring you away last night?”“My father didn’t want him to go back to his foster brother.” Sheng Weiqiao pursed her lips and said, “So he cooperated with the servants and added the special incense to the herbs fumigated in the whole building so that they could flee after we fell asleep!”She repeated what she heard from Sheng Shuihe and then asked again, “Wasn’t you poisoned by the special incense? How did you catch up so soon? I supposed it would be my father who would send someone to pick me up after receiving the message!”“Because of my curious constitution, the special incense had little effect on me.” Xu Baomo blinked and he explained, “So when those people carried you on board, I figured that something unusual was going on. But when I tried to wake up Eldest Childe Feng and others at the next
The moment when he finished it, Xu Baomo had smiled with extreme indignation and said sharply, “Young Master Han, do you think that since I’m captured by you, everything should be at your disposal?!”“No way!” Young Master Han smiled, “But look at how dignified you are! Even if you are now captured by me so that you help me to eliminate the family of Gongsun, after returning to the land, you’ll probably lobby the navy of the imperial court for focusing their force on us Han Family!”“In case you do harm to us afterward, I have to force your sister to deign to marry a pirate’s son like me. The wealthy families which will be equal to your marquis’ family all admire vanity anyways. If they know that your sister is once trapped by the pirates, even if she goes back, safe and sound, I bet they’ll look down on her!”“Since you’re a good brother who cares about your sister so much, how could you let your sister marry such a family and endure all the p
The ship was waggling violently. At first Young Master Han thought they had encountered stormy waves.As a veteran sailor, he could easily handle a storm like this. The turbulence did not affect the journey in the least. He marched ahead and was even in a good mood to joke around with the servants, “Whoever is at the helm, tell him not to disturb my wedding night with my lady!”Servants smiled and teased him, “The Madam of the Young Master seems rather fragile. You need to treat her dearly! I hope you are not the only one who can get out of bed tomorrow morning. We would also like to pay respects to the Madam!”Before their voice died away, they all heard a snap over their heads. Then howling down from the sky was the sound of a whoosh, which made the watchman let out a cry. A string of poundings was heard afterwards as if the deck had been battered with countless sundries all at once!“What is going on?” Young Master Han suddenly
Although both Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiqiao had countless doubts at the moment, they pressed their impulse to question, considering the incessant killings everywhere. They tried to put on an act that Ningwei Marquis’ Young Lord had to persuade the Slaughterer not to kill Sheng Weiqiao, who was taken hostage to cover up the truth that Sheng Shuihe was unable to fight again.“We’ll just wait for him to explain everything!!!” Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo didn’t know much about the pirates, let alone the name “Crow Slaughterer”.Their only knowledge of “Crow Slaughterer” was inferred from the earlier conversations Young Master Han and his servants had in horror. At this moment, they were both surprised and found it unbelievable. They thought over and over again, “Who is this person?! What is his relationship with Sheng Family?!”However, they didn’t get a chance to find answers from Sheng Shuihe. His men killed the last batch of pirates and pulled the t
Xu Baomo comforted her for a while. Seeing that she finally controlled her emotions, he asked for some water for her to rinse her mouth. Then, he pulled her to the cabin to continue washing up.Zheng Sen arranged adjacent cabins for them and gave them two bathtubs and some clothes. For Xu Baomo, it was a set of coarse shirts of Xu Lianshan. For Sheng Weiqiao, since she was a girl, she had special treatment. Robes of Sheng Shuihe were provided, with better texture.After taking a bath and changing clothes, they had a quick dinner and went to bed without chatting. Both of them were exhausted.Sheng Weiqiao had been worried whether she would have nightmares at night before she went to bed. However, she was so tired that she fell asleep immediately after lying down. She had such a sound sleep. In addition to some callings of Xu Baomo and Sheng Shuihe, which she was unable to answer, she slept well.But when she woke up, she was surpris
Hearing that, Xu Baomo felt awkward. Freezing for a while, he said, “That was an accident…. When getting off the boat, I was so concerned with you that I hit her with my body by accident. That was an offense, so I felt guilty when seeing her!”Sheng Weiqiao was about to comfort him that since he was not intended for that and Gongsun Yingjiang didn’t get injured, he needn’t worry too much.But she realized that Xu Baomo was an elder brother of another family close with her family, so he was trustable even without being familiar with each other for a long time. However, he was a complete stranger for Gongsun Yingjiang. Who knew whether she cared about that or not?After all, Sheng Weiqiao thought Young Master Han, who was killed by her, was damned to die ten thousand times, even though she suffered no disgrace by him!!!Although she thought Xu Baomo an open and straightforward man, totally different from Young Master Han, she couldn’
