In the dark night, Ling Qinglan saw a beautiful woman in plain white clothes. She was looking at him strangely. She looked perturbed, and her eyes shined.
Ling Qinglan picked his eyebrows. Then he came over and said softly, “It’s not peaceful in Yunjing City in the middle of the night. What are you doing here alone?”
The beautiful woman didn’t answer. She just looked at him in a daze.
Ling Qinglan felt more and more strange. He looked at her carefully, and then his expression changed a little. He recognized her. She was Qu Lu, the starring girl of the Hongyan House, wasn’t she?
Usually in the brothel, Qu Lu was very gorgeous and particularly charming, but now she was so plain that he almost didn’t recognize her. However, after the auction, her identity of Lady Qu in the Hehuan Sect had been exposed. Why did she suddenly appear here tonight?
Thinking of it, Ling Qinglan smiled and said tentatively, “Lady Qu, you come he
At noon, it was the busiest time in Yunjing City. Regular drinkers of the Linli Building were crowded. Its business was much more popular than when it started. “Sir, come in, please!”“Here, sir. What would you like today?”“…”While Yin Xuetong and Mei Ruohan were accounting by the table, suddenly the light became darker in the entrance. They looked at the door at the same time. They were amazed by that man’s dress.Fang Yuan?How could he come to the main gate without disguising himself?“What’s up?” Yin Xuetong felt something wrong. She called out Qu Qingning at once.“Oh, sir. Come here, please!”Qu Qingning pretended to be enthusiastic and guided Fang Yuan, who looked gloomy, to go upstairs. They didn’t make others perceive something unusual.In the room, Qu Qingning poured tea for Fang Yuan and asked, “Didn’t you go to see the agent of the royal
Soon, Ma De waiting outside the Imperial Study received the news and walked in at once. He turned around and saw Eunuch Feng who knelt on the ground. He was afraid and instantly bowed to kneel beside Eunuch Feng.“Your Majesty! Wish you a long life!”Dongfang Xiao opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ma De who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly said softly, “Wish me a long life? I knew that you want me to die now.”Ma De was frightened when he heard it. He raised his head and said nervously, “Your Majesty, why do you say that? I’m so loyal that I’m willing to die for you! If you don’t believe me, I…I can…”“Enough.”Dongfang Xiao impatiently stopped Ma De and asked calmly, “Tell me. What’s the matter with your son?”Ma De wiped his cold sweat and got relaxed, but thinking of the reaction of Ma Jintian, he couldn’t help frowning,“I promise that I’m the only one who knows that you are g
Ma De came into Lord Rui’s Mansion with the imperial edict. Many people followed Dongfang Rui and knelt down.With a slightly pitying eyesight, Ma De glanced at Dongfang Rui, who had lowered his head. Then he opened the edict and read loudly,“By the grace of the nature, the emperor said,Su Li, the daughter of Dongfang Rui, has a virtuous temperament and a beautiful look. I am happy for that. Today, the third son of the King of North is 20 and it’s time for him to get married with a good girl! Su Li is still unmarried, and they are matched by the nature. I’d like to do a good deed for the two. Here I decide to grant Su Li as a princess to the prince. You choose a good day and the Ministry of Rites will help prepare the marriage!The end!”“What? Brother grants Su Li to Ling Li in the Ling Family?!”Dongfang Rui turned pale with fright, and suddenly he stood up from the ground with an amazing expression.
In the Imperial Palace—Ma De knelt on the ground. His face almost pasted on the floor, and even his breathing became cautious for fear of provoking Dongfang Xiao.“My Eighth Brother agreed immediately without resistance, and he also arranged the dowries by himself? Even the day is set, and it’s just two days later?”Dongfang Xiao smiled faintly, and his words were so cold that Eunuch Feng who was standing beside him couldn’t help shivering and bending even more.“Your Majesty! What I have said is really true. The Eighth Lord only hesitated for a moment and took the imperial edict directly. He had no radical reaction. Eunuch Feng was also there at that time. If I lied, I would be hit by the thunder...”“Enough!”Dongfang Xiao impatiently interrupted Ma De, stomping back and forth for a few steps with a gloomy face. He suddenly picked up the memorials on the desk and smashed them on Ma De’s head, swearing,
In front of the gate of Lord Rui’s Mansion, the team of escorting bride stopped slowly. There were many onlookers. The maids looking on broke up a hubbub immediately.“Here they come. They finally come!”Mammy Li was also in red. She had been with Su Li all the time. Now Su Li got married. She would go to the Ling Mansion with Su Li naturally and be in charge of taking care of Su Li.Looking at the handsome young man who was sitting in the seat, Mammy Li couldn’t help delighting. She knew some exact details about Ling Li, and now she was happy for Su Li to get a powerful husband.Under the watchful eyes of the people, Ling Li was held by Ling Mo from the special seat to the wheelchair. He felt nervous and excited.He took a deep breath and tried his best to keep calm. Then he waved the wheelchair alone to get in the Lord Rui’s Mansion. With no delay, he came in Su Li’s own house.Ling Li was surprised. He
Bang!Ling Li fell from the upside-down wheelchair. Maids were scared and covered their eyes by sleeves. Some softhearted onlookers turned their heads to avoid seeing him.At this moment,Suddenly, a slim hand supported the waist of Ling Li. She helped him touch the ground and knelt steadily. Perhaps the range of her movement was wide. The red veil on her head slid onto the ground. And the fairly beautiful face came into the sight of everyone. “What a gorgeous woman!”“Princess Li is exceedingly beautiful!”“I really envy the Third Master of Ling Family…”There were all remarks. So, the bad thing of Ling Li was neglected.Ling Li gazed at Su Li attentively as if the time paused. “Wow…”The sound interrupted Ling Li. More and more people were surprised.Qiu Meng saw the scene and then felt in relief. She looked at Su Li more gently than bef
After five minutes, Ling Mo pushed the wheelchair into the east courtyard. The noise coming from the main courtyard set off by the quite east courtyard.Ling Mo checked around, and he didn’t find others except the guards of the Yinmo Cult. He reached out and was about to take out the silver needles at Ling Li’s waist, but one hand stopped him suddenly.Ling Mo was shocked, “Master, you’re not drunk, are you?”Ling Li, who was drunk before, raised his head slowly. Although his cheeks still flushed, his eyes were clear. He said slowly, “Dongfang Xiao suddenly granted the marriage, which must be a plot. How could I not be prepared? Even if I sealed my cultivation, I will not get drunk easily.”Then, Ling Li looked at the brightly lit wedding room in the courtyard and glanced at Ling Mo, who was still standing by. Ling Mo immediately understood and left the courtyard. Seeing Ling Li open the door and turn the wheelchair to enter, Ling
“Mom, Grandma, have some tea.”In the central room, Qiu Meng and Mrs. Gu looked at Su Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and then took the tea. Their eyes flashed with love to her, especially Qiu Meng. She really liked Su Li.“One is Ling Li, and the other is Su Li. I don’t know how to call you. Su Li, since you are willing to marry my grandson, we won’t treat you badly and you can have our family property.”When she said, she took out a stack of shop deeds. It seemed that she would give some family property to Su Li completely.Su Li was stunned. Then she waved her hand and said, “Grandma, I’ve just got married. How can I get it? If you really want to do so, you can give it to my husband.”Hearing it, both Mrs. Gu and Qiu Meng were stunned, especially Qiu Meng, who was deeply moved.The shop deeds that Mrs. Gu took out were valuable. They accounted for almost a quarter of Ling Family’s property. Even if
