He Danggui yelled at Chang Nuo as if she saw a ghost, “Are you crazy or am I crazy? Or are all the immortals in the sky crazy to make such the thing happen? You’re talking nonsense, right? I’ve never told him that what I hate the most is the man who beats women.”
Chang Nuo didn’t understand why He Danggui, an even-tempered girl, suddenly became so angry. He was surprised, “That is what he said, which is definitely true! I am sure that he is the one who never does such cruel things, so you can’t misunderstand him!”
He Danggui said coldly, “I’ve never misunderstood him, but the person misunderstanding me is you. Even though the wall in Luo’s Mansion is quite high, it can’t prevent Wulin seniors from climbing over it. And the seniors are not only you and Lord Ning, but also other ones who appreciate the Bitter Bamboo Grove and the caves in this grove, such as the assassin wearing a mask 3 years ago. Have you heard anything from Lord Ning and Ming Yue? That ass
“Tai Shan has become a sorceress? Is that what Huai Hua told you?” Taking off her cloak and outermost skirt and throwing them on the ground, He Danggui quickly went into the shower room. She scooped out a ladle of hot water heated on the stove and washed her hands and face, slightly removing the uncomfortable smell of blood.Chan Yi brought 2 buckets of cold water from outside like a strong man and said with a big breath, “Actually, one day more than 2 years ago, I was going to the medicine pharmacy to send food to you. When I went out of the side door, I met a homeless biddy. She took a look at me. Then she suddenly jumped on me and shouted, ‘Zhen Jing! Zhen Jing!’ I recognized that she was my master Tai Shan. I wondered why she became a beggar, and she said that it was because of the ungrateful Huai Dong. But she didn’t say more when I asked anything else.”He Danggui undressed as fast as she could. First, she simply washed herself with warm water. Then s
Like a mermaid, He Danggui suddenly jumped out from under the surface of the water, squinted at Chan Yi in the water curtain and asked, “Who is Madam Ji? Haven’t Governor Lu’s parents already dead? And hasn’t he married another woman?” Where did the one who possessed the authority in Lu’s Mansion come from? Even Governor Lu had to obey her not to meet his pregnant wife.Chan Yi explained, “I just heard it from Huai Hua today. Even though Governor Lu has no parents now, he still has a widowed aunt, Madam Ji, who has a 16-year-old daughter in hometown. Madam Ji is a dowager and has nothing to worry about. More than a month ago, Lu’s Mansion received a letter saying that Madam Ji heard that her nephew’s wife was pregnant and she was going to take care of the baby in Yangzhou City. But a few days later, Madam Ji and her daughter went to Lu’s Mansion as guests and seized the power of managing the family affairs of Sister Zhenzhu in an impolite way the next day.”
Before Zhenzhu married Governor Lu, He Danggui and Liao Qing’er went to see her. They jokingly asked whether the marriage contract included the item that Governor Lu could not have extra concubines and should spend the rest of his life only with her.Zhenzhu smiled and said, “A faithful husband and a happy family won’t come by a sheet of paper but by a sincere heart. I didn’t realize it and thought that my ex-husband betrayed me because life was not fair. But when I think of him now, I realize that he was not a bad man at the beginning. I just did too much things for him for which he was responsible, which made him become accustomed to reaping without sowing. Besides, he didn’t find the tenderness he yearned for in me, no wonder he sought from others.”Keeping such marriage experience in mind, Zhenzhu became the little lovable wife of Governor Lu. They did have a sweet time for long.However, a problem suddenly came. What if a more lovable woma
“Miss. Miss!” He Danggui heard Chan Yi’s voice above her head, and she painfully opened her eyes to look up. Then this strange dream shook and was torn a tiny hole, where Chan Yi’s round face squeezed in.Chan Yi held a shallow bowl of water and said, “Take the medicine and then sleep. Take it all in one breath!”He Danggui looked at Chan Yi and asked in some mystification, “Why should I take the medicine when everything is perfectly all right? What kind of medicine is it?” While she was saying, the bowl was stuffed into her mouth, so she was forced to swallow the sweet and sour medicinal soup in the bowl. After that, a small bowl of salt water was passed over, and she gargled with it.Chan Yi supported her to move, and then changed her bed sheets and inner clothes. Chan Yi said in a powerful voice, “Miss Qing was here a moment ago, and I told her about Sister Zhenzhu. She said that it didn’t matter, and she would take full charge of it. Then s
As the saying went, “What you dream about at night reflects what you think about during the day.” So, what she saw in her dream was what she had met in the past, which left a little fuzzy trace in her heart. Although she didn’t think about them so much at first, in fact, those things were in her heart. So, she would have such a dream when she was sick.She saw Ning Yuan for the first time on a messy street. At that time, he wore a bamboo hat, and under the heavy veil of the bamboo hat, there was a mask covering the upper part of his face, which was much similar to that of Lu Jiangbei in the dream. She had seldom paid attention to the appearance of men, but when she saw Ning Yuan that time, an unspeakable weirdness suddenly appeared in her heart. In any case, she wanted to look at the face under the mask, but in the end she couldn’t do so. When she met him in Bitter Bamboo Grove again, Ning Yuan had already disguised himself as Lu Jiangbei.This feeling of d
He Danggui looked up at the 2 uninvited guests, and couldn’t help sighing that all the people of Meng’s Family were good-looking. From the Earl Baoding Meng Shan who was more than 50 years old to his sons, Meng Ying and Meng Xuan, they were all outstanding people. However, why didn’t they do their own things but came to her yard for a stroll?Seeing that they were approaching, He Danggui stood up and told Chan Yi to make tea. She took down the silk handkerchief from her robe, and twisted it into a flower. Then she saluted them and said with a smile, “I have heard that you 2 childes have lived in Luo’s Mansion. I don’t expect that you come to the Tao Yao Yard today. Are you here to enjoy the peach blossom? Should I make a place for you?”The 2 men walked in tandem to the stone table where He Danggui was sitting. Meng Ying lifted his robe and sat down, while Meng Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back. They were dressed in white round collar robes
He Danggui gently smiled and said, “Third Childe, didn’t you get poisoned by poisonous rats when you were in jail a few days ago? You are talking nonsense now. Meng’s Family’s threshold is higher than me, and I can’t come inside even if I can fly. When I first saw you, I hated on you, let alone being a family in the future. I’m tired and don’t want to entertain you honored guests. If you don’t have anything else, please leave me alone or I’ll drive you out.” What was wrong with Meng Ying? He even said that she was everybody’s treasure and got them wrapped around her finger. Was he implying that she played with his younger brother Meng Xuan?Before Meng Ying and Meng Xuan could answer, Chan Yi came over with a small cart from a distance. She happily filled the table with tea, dessert, Go board and Go bowls. Then she stood with her hands down behind He Danggui and enjoyed the two childes’ handsome appearances.Ignoring that He Danggui showed them the door, Me
Meng Xuan looked at the girl’s calm face silently and then replied with a smile, “If the opponent is Lord Ning, everyone will be afraid of him. However, I guess that some people are also willing to help, if the person who needs help is you.”“I have stated my feeling about you clearly. Aren’t you angry with me? Do you still want to help me against Lord Ning?” He Danggui asked smoothly.Meng Xuan lifted Meng Ying slightly in his hands. He looked down and recalled, “My brother and I came to Luo’s Mansion to visit you a few days ago. We asked to stay here after knowing you were ill, and then I moved to see you for the first time. I saw Miss Liao chatting with your maid in the yard, so I avoided them and went straight to the back hall. I approached your bedroom from the window in the west as usual. You know the window is facing your bed, so I have already seen it.”“I was sleeping because of violent sickness, when Qing’er arrived. After waking up,
