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’
Xu Baomo was unhappy, but Sheng Weiqiao knew nothing about it.She woke up the next day and found herself feeling much better than before so that she could hopefully totally recover before Sheng Lanci arrived at Daimao Island. But by thinking about Sheng Lanci, she inevitably remembered Sheng Shuihe. Because she found herself in the lair of pirates when she woke up, and even got a niece, with a restless mind, she didn’t pay much attention to it.But now she realized that, according to the description of Gongsun Yingjiang, Sea Master Gongsun Su was beset with internal and external problems, so how could he spare the time to look after his foster brother? It should be Sheng Shuihe’s situation and injuries that occupied him most, right?At that thought, her mind was weighed down.When the thought just came to her mind that she should go to see Sheng Shuihe, she pondered, “I’m not a doctor anyway. What’s the sense of going to see him?
Sheng Shuihe was in the study, with only Gongsun Xi there at his service. But as before, he wore the mask called “Crow Slaughter” to cover his face as he did on the sea. The black apparel and the black cloak before were replaced by a white gown with a round collar, in the pattern of the pine, and a white cloak weaved out of white crane’s feathers.It was already summer. Even though it was cool on the island, a vulnerable girl like Sheng Weiqiao, who hadn’t recovered from the illness, needed no more than a suit, let alone the wrap. But Sheng Shuihe still dressed so warmly, with a cloak added to the gown. He was literally severely injured.The chin underneath the mask was unusually pale, which reflected the flawless and jade-like skin of the owner. But it was also a sign of insufficient vitality.Seeing Gongsun Yingdun lead Sheng Weiqiao in, Gongsun Xi frowned while Sheng Shuihe stopped swinging the writing brush in his hand and put it on the bru
After Sheng Weiqiao left with great concerns, Gongsun Su came inside, humming and laughing, “You are not being a good brother. Why do you scare her like that? I noticed she came to see you because she worried about you. She was just reluctant to admit it. If you had talked with her kindly, wouldn’t it have been an excellent outcome for both of you?”He continued, “Rumors have it that Sheng Lanci failed to educate his daughter so that she did not inherit anything from her father. Now that I have seen her in person, I think she is rather naive and has a tolerable temper. She is not one of those girls who is bossy and demanding, so I don’t suppose you grow tired of her already?”Sheng Shuihe leaned back, curled up his lips, and said with a languid tone, “It is precisely because she is not annoying that I have decided to guide and educate her a bit, just in case she can’t recognize evil intents in disguise after marriage. If I find her irritating, I won’t even
Sheng Weiqiao was not aware of Xu Baomo’s motives. After he left, she was going to visit Gongsun Yingjiang, but then she thought, “Earlier, I told Miss Gongsun I am on my way to visit her uncle. If I go back to her place now and talk her around, she’ll definitely suspect her little uncle of speaking ill of her.”Sheng Shuihe put herself in Gongsun Yingjiang’s shoes. If she had worn so little and danced in front of her uncle in the middle of the night, no matter it was on purpose or out of stupid respect, she would have been ashamed and enraged by the fact that her uncle told this to a strange aunt, and she would surely have resented Sheng Shuihe for this!Sheng Shuihe was not even Gongsun Yingjiang’s biological uncle. Sheng Weiqiao weighed for a long time and finally decided to put this conversation on hold for a few days until her father Sheng Lanci came to Daimao Island.In that case, even if things did not turn out well for both, Sheng Weiqi
