He Danggui felt that this man, Bai Yangbai, was a little weird, but she didn’t know why. She decided to consider it later and continued, “You dared to show yourself as ‘Feng Yang’ in public, which means that you are close friends. You should tell him the whole situation and ask him to pay more attention to Mrs. Feng. Once Madam Luo bring this up in Feng’s Family, ask him to stop Madam Luo or agree to marry Luo Baishao instead of me. Tomorrow will be nice.”
The man, called Bai Yangbai by her, replied slowly, “I’m sorry. Actually, we are not very close. I’m afraid that I may blow up your plan. How about I bring him to Tao Yao Yard? Then, you can serve a cup of tea and tell him the whole story. Feng Yang is a tenderhearted man. If a beautiful woman like you serves him a cup of tea, he would bring back you the moon if you want it. Am I right?”
He Danggui shook her head and said, “First, I don’t want to make contact with him. It cost me much energy every time to
“Take care of her...forever?” Chang Nuo repeated in his heart. He was stunned for a moment. What did Pan Jingyang mean? Damn it, did it mean that Taoist Sage, who disguised as Feng Yang, actually molested Sister He?Thinking of it, Chang Nuo was very anxious. Although Taoist Sage was old, he was still a man, and he handled things without a sense of propriety. Chang Nuo hoped that Taoist Sage hadn’t gone too far and didn’t ruin the reputation of Sister He by using Feng Yang’s identity. That girl was very cherished for Ning Yuan. And Ning Yuan was seeking a decent identity for her, so that she could be his princess at Lord Ning’s Mansion. If there was anything wrong, how could Chang Nuo explain to Ning Yuan?After replying Pan Jingyang perfunctorily, Chang Nuo went to the inner courtyard quickly. When he was about to rush to the direction of Tao Yao Yard, he saw a pretty lady in red standing on the lawn not far away. She was Sister He, whom he hadn’t seen for
He Danggui felt that the hand squeezed on her neck was getting tighter and tighter, gradually depriving the cool air that people could not lack for a moment. Was this the true face of Zhu Quan, who took Feng Yang as the emissary? They kept talking about love all the time. But once she disobeyed their will, even one of Zhu Quan’s subordinates had the right to take her life, which even didn’t have to get Zhu Quan’s permission. Oh, what a great love. What a noble and sacred man.Chang Nuo’s murderous intent vanished as quickly as it occurred. Although he did not move his hand on her neck, he had removed the force and just wrapped around her smooth skin. Looking at her placid face, he asked with anger, “What is wrong with Lord Ning? Why don’t you beg for mercy? Are you not afraid of death?”He Danggui lifted her eyes and stared at his eyes, which were full of violent emotion. Then she said slowly, “It’s not about being afraid or not. I’m only 14 years old, and
Chang Nuo was surprised. As a famous killer, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t scare a little girl. So, he said raucously with his face twisted, “You don’t know about my means. I am the notorious rapist– ‘butterfly’, whose favorites are the ladies of the rich families. The number of the ladies who were harmed by me are countless, and most of them hanged themselves. Miss He, they have lost the confidence to live because of my heartless torture. And that is what you need to keep in mind.”“Oh,” He Danggui just said, “Childe Feng, would you mind holding me in a more comfortable position? I’m about to fall to the ground.”“Ah?” Chang Nuo blinked his eyes in confusion and then looked down. One of his arms was around He Danggui’s neck and the other arm was hooking her legs, which left a huge space in the middle. And because he was walking, He Danggui’s body could almost touch the ground. But the middle part belong to Yuan, how could he touch that part? So, he mo
Watching that the close hand was about to seal her acupoint again, He Danggui yelled, “Stop! You can’t do that! Why should I stab you for no reason?It’s better to give me money. Stop! If you seal my acupoint once again, I will kill myself!” The last sentence was what Dong Xinlan often yelled at Luo Baiqian, when they quarreled in Tao Yao Yard. Therefore, He Danggui learned these words unconsciously, and now she shouted out in a hurry.She didn’t expect Chang Nuo to stop immediately. Not only did he stop, but he also stepped back in a panic and waved his hands. He persuaded, “Your mother and Lord Ning are by your side. How can you keep saying death? We can talk about it! I won’t move!” It was as if there were explosives on her body and a dagger in her hands. As soon as he got close, she would kill herself at once.He Danggui felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect the sentence to work, after all Luo Baiqian didn’t go for it. She grabbed her dress on the
Chang Nuo realized that he made an indiscreet remark again. When he tried to patch up the lie, the words on the stone wall attracted He Danggui unexpectedly. She asked in a trance, “Who wrote these?”Chang Nuo glanced at it and replied, “Lord Ning. The cave was discovered by him, and the words as well.” Picking up a puppet on the ground, he explained, “3 years ago, Lord Ning healed in Luo’s Mansion. He has already put his life on the line, but his internal injury was aggravated after conveying Zhenqi to you for 2 successive days. Ming Yue told me these. Lord Ning had to come into the Bitter Bamboo Grove, a secluded place, and cured himself for several days in these caves. And these puppets were left by him at that time.”He Danggui contemplated the poem on the wall. It said, “Alongside the river, beneath the pale moonlight, the withered winter lotus makes the loneliness more bitter.”Chang Nuo thought that she was moved and about to change her
Chang Nuo came back with two fat rabbits and a pheasant. As soon so he entered the cave, he saw the girl in red lying on the ground. She was covering her chest in pain and struggling, which was obviously the symptom of Heart Crushing. Then he dropped what he was holding immediately and went forward to seal her pulse. He pressed her chest and the middle of her back to relieve her pain. Seeing the girl was in pain, sweating and crying, he could not blame her for not keeping the promise. After he left, she used Zhenqi without permission. It was clear that she wanted to escape.Chang Nuo hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and said soothingly, “Hold on. It will be fine after the pain passes. Turn your attention to something else, like something happy… Or how about I tell you a story? Well, when I was a kid, I used to climb a tree for fun, but I accidentally fell out of the tree. Although I was not hurt, I broke my heirloom, a jade pendant into...” Sudd
“Oh?” He Danggui picked up the rabbit, which would be slaughtered. She asked in an induced way, “What’s the difference? Are there any differences between his daily habits and behaviors in the past? Does he act more mature and steadier?”“Daily habits? Oh, you took me wrong. I don’t mean that he has changed. But his attitude to the women is completely different from before.” When Chang Nuo saw she taking the rabbit, he stretched out his hands to take away it. He smiled at her and said, “It is the meal. If you want to play with it, I will catch one for you later. Its legs are broken by stones, and it won’t live long. So, give it to me.”He Danggui snorted. She held the rabbit and walked to the other side of the cave. She asked, “Will it not be living long because of its hurt legs? What a ruthless person! Its eyes tell me that it wants to live. You have killed its friend and a pheasant. Do you really want to make your hands reek with more blood? Please let it
After hearing this, He Danggui was even more annoyed than Chang Nuo. She gritted her teeth and sneered, “It was Empress Dowager Lv’s means for power that Empress Zhang Yan was married to her uncle Emperor Hui. It has been known as a joke and a scandal. How can you take it as a role model? Did you all learn in vain? I just don’t want to replace the Infanta Shaochan, Mei Yuchan. Let her do it by herself!” Unexpectedly, Zhu Quan wanted her to be the same grade as Xie Qiaofeng. Two wives? He really thought highly of her.The roast was sizzling. Chang Nuo also gritted his teeth and said, “If it were not for you, how could Lord Ning marry his nominal niece at such a great risk? A friend of mine persuaded the Chang’s Family in the capital to allow you to take Mrs. Chang as your adoptive mother and get married from the Chang’s Family. But Lord Ning thought that if outsiders knew that you are not Mrs. Chang’s biological child, your status will still be not noble enough. It is in
