After collecting the silver needles and wearing the veil, He Danggui ignored the weird Bai Yangbai who was holding his hands behind him in the courtyard. She left Ting Zhu Yard and took a shortcut to the south sidewall. She saw Pan Jingyang, who was on night patrol and was staring at the sky afar. She jumped over the wall and got out of Luo’s Mansion.
This time, she didn’t have to worry about being followed by Sun Meiniang’s servants. After leaving the mansion, she found the air was even sweet with a floral smell. After passing two alleys, she walked towards the back door of an inn named the “Vintage Store of Wind”. She had farmed out a bay horse here. Yangzhou City was quite large, and since last year, her business scale had been expanded. It would take more than half a day to run from south to north in Yangzhou City. Sometimes riding a horse would be more convenient than hiring a carriage. So, she raised a bay horse in this inn.
She led the horse f
He Danggui froze for a moment and then looked back. That was a child in a red jacket and green pants. He was wearing a pair of tiger shoes. His hair was a bit yellow, and he was slightly younger than Chubby Zhu. In He Danggui’s opinion, he was a “colorful” child. She bent down and asked, “Kid, did you see anyone take away a bay horse tied here?”The child nodded and pointed to the north, “A man just left with your horse.” He Danggui hurriedly thanked him and ran in that direction. Thief is unforgivable! Stealing her horse in her place was even worse! The wind blew her ear while the yelling of the child came from behind. However, He Danggui maturely used Mysterious Footwork with full strength, and she even ran several times faster than riding a horse. Therefore, she did not catch the child’s words.Children usually asked candies for adults. Next time she could ask Bai Yangbai to sell her some medicated sweetsand send them to that kid.At
Duan Xiaolou was inside the inn!After realizing that, she quickly retracted her hand from the curtain, just like she was burned. With hesitation, she walked a small circle around the inn and found a back door, and then walked in. It was empty there. So, she sat in a corner at the end of the corridor and tried to listen to the conversation in the room while playing with the whip in her hand. Duan Xiaolou was drinking inside? Was Du Yao also inside? Was anyone else there? At the time, a voice sounded.“Du Yao! Why did you take my jar? Give me back my wine!”“Master Duan, you are drunk. We have important things to do today. What if you get drunk?”“Ha! You are three levels inferior to me. It is said that one level crushes people to death and I can crush you three times. How dare you interfere with my things? Give my wine back!” Duan Xiaolou paused but soon shouted again, “Waiter! Bring me ten more jars of loquat wine!”
Lu Jiangbei came out faster than Gao Jue. He Danggui couldn’t hide her face in time, so she closed her eyes without any other choice. Was it called the “ostrich policy”? Lu Jiangbei had just made Meng Xuan injured from a sword yesterday. According to Meng Xuan, he got himself injured “because of her”. Although she thought that she had never offended Lu Jiangbei, it was better not to see him in case of any trouble.After Lu Jiangbei went out, he paused and then smiled, “Gao Jue was right. There is really a girl sitting here.”He Danggui lowered her head and closed her eyes under the veil, hoping Lu Jiangbei didn’t recognize her.Lu Jiangbei said kindly, “Little girl, since you have come to the inn, why bother sitting in the cold wind? There is a stove inside, and it is warm there. Those people drinking inside are not bad guys. You can get in there to warm yourself.”He Danggui closed her eyes and nodded. However, she kept mut
Du Yao became even more curious and asked with his big eyes blinking, “Ah? You mean, even our boss was stunned? Is there anything that distracts him in a battle? He is the dreadful Lu Jiangbei, known as the ‘Sword in White, Universe in Sleeve’ in Jianghu!”Jiang Pi glanced at Duan Xiaolou and then said, “Master Duan, then I’ll tell him. It is you that want to stay here to listen to us. Well, the dagger was engraved with a lady, and she was no one else but Miss He, whom Duan Xiaolou has a crush on. Three years ago, we went to a Taoist temple to search Rebelling Party, where we unluckily met Miss He Danggui.”He Danggui outside the door suddenly came to realize that Meng Xuan was hurt because of this! He saw an unrelated man having a dagger with her face, and then was stabbed by Lu Jiangbei out of astonishment.Back then, she had seen the kind of dagger engraved with her portrait from Duan Xiaolou. She was told that it was made by Liao Zhi
He Danggui was as shocked as Jiang Pi by the scream. She thought she was found by them. So, she decided to say hello to them. Well, she only needed to be calm…At the time she touched the curtain, she heard Du Yao laugh again, “Guys, then I will just say it! Master Duan, don’t be mad at me! Do you think our boss is also interested in that girl? Does he like that little girl unrequitedly as Duan Xiaolou does?”After hearing that, Jiang Pi frowned and retorted, “Nonsense! Don’t play a joke on our boss as he is not here. I will tell him when he comes back! You are dead meat!”Du Yao raised his disgruntled head, “I’m not talking nonsense. I have evidence! I am also an admirer of our boss, so why would I speak ill of him? It’s normal for a beautiful lady and a gentleman to pursue each other. Heroes seek beauties, and bosses love chicks. It is not strange! If someday he doesn’t like Miss but Mister. That would be scary.”Jiang Pi
The lady in red didn’t believe what He Danggui said so much. She slightly shook her head and said, “I’ve seen it once through the small gap you were looking at. There are only five men inside, three wearing ice-made masks, and two exposed. Then two people left the room. There are not many men wearing ice-made masks as you said.”He Danggui blinked innocently, and responded in a soft voice, “Have you ever left halfway, heroine? Just now, a large group of people came down from the second floor, and they all wear ice-made masks and are dressed in official suits. I was frightened. Later, they took a wine jar and went back upstairs. Alas, I don’t know why my brother chose such an inn to live in. There are many weird people in it. Isn’t the ice-made mask very uncomfortable to stick on the face? What is that for?”The lady in red didn’t think much and replied, “It seems to be used for healing purposes, specifically for Wujianmen School. Could it be that the
With the lips quivered, He Danggui was too stunned to say something. Gazed by Duan Xiaolou with a mask, she could only nod to answer him.Duan Xiaolou smiled, “As Du Yao said, you are a gorgeous lady from the southern part. It’s a good place.”He Danggui stiffened, lowered her head, and comforted herself that it was not his fault that he couldn’t recognize her, because her appearance and dress had changed greatly. Peng Shi and Bai Yangbai could recognize her because it was her that dressed up so differently with a thin figure in Luo’s Mansion. How could a man recognize a woman with a different figure and complexion only by making eye contact on the street?Besides, why should she ask him to remember everything about her? Instead, it was better to forget her. Didn’t she always look forward to it like this? It was a good result.Duan Xiaolou noticed that He Danggui was shy and silent, instead of a sharp-tongued lady as Du Yao
Jiang Pi escaped while vomiting blood, turned his head, and saw that Liao Zhiyuan was tasting a peach. He became angry and roared with the blood spitting out of his mouth, “Master Liao, you do nothing to save me! You heartless bastard! I saved your life the day before yesterday. Don’t you know how to repay the kindness?” As he said this, he dodged Duan Xiaolou’s fist thrillingly, and felt the burning pain of his cheek swept by the fist.Liao Zhiyuan nibbled two more peaches, and responded leisurely, “Young Childe Jiang, have you heard “giving kindness without expecting rewards”? Go and ask Master Lanling for help.” He bit the peach, and gradually lost in thought.Jiang Pi almost couldn’t bear Duan Xiaolou’s fist. He felt that if he didn’t ask for foreign aid, he might be killed. At that time, he was unconscious of his face. He raised his head towards the second floor and shouted, “Brother! Song Fei! Dashing Sky Eagle! Help! Help!”But no
Dong's where to stand others like this out of words to teach, coupled with her to He Danggui has always been cynical and hateful, over the years everywhere to see the wrong, and now these emotions all of a sudden flared up.She laughed coldly, "Humph! Third girl, you don't have to be like this with me, I can't compare to you in this life, but our old Luo family still has a promising offspring, a Chai Yutu, into the Prince's residence as a beauty; Qiong Sister and Peony Sister, into the palace to serve the Emperor! The day they gain favor, we'll immediately become the royal relatives with hardened waists! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, you don't want to tear down the bridge too soon!"He Danggui commanded the grannies to bring down both Luo Baiqian and Yan Sister, and she had no intention of staying any longer, biting each other with mad dogs, so what had she become herself.Dong was not willing to let people go, crossed her arms and
Dong raised her hand and waved it heavily on Luo Baiying's face, arrogantly sneering, "Big girl, don't say all these salty words, the feelings of us poor women who married bastard men, girls like you who have never seen anything will never understand in their lives. I only hate myself for being blind back then, choosing by the thousands and finally choosing a useless Luo Baiqian, and now I'm being dragged down by you!"Luo Baihe glanced at the unconscious old lady, hidden anger to teach Dong, "Sister-in-law said what even the words, as the saying goes, flowers do not have a hundred days of red, no one's family has not been rich for a hundred years of good things, out of bad things, we think about it. You don't like anyone, and beating up one person after another won't help."The government office wanted to check the accounts of the Luodong Mansion, to see if they had drawn down money during the war to subsidize the rebels, so all the daughters-in-law in charge, along wit
Park Yang Bai expected a little good, when he pretended Li Xianxi around the screen, appeared in the crowd's field of vision, the outside of an exclamation of surprise intertwined, almost toppled the roof. When the screen was removed, no one had noticed that the ugly girl who had previously walked into the screen to play for the "Wonderful Medical Fairy" had disappeared.Li Xianxi has been dead for ten days, hard as a rock, suddenly recovered soft and charming, really shocked everyone present. Princess House's four housekeepers immediately left two, looks like it is to report to go."Pop!"Mao Daoxing glares and shoots the shocking wood, shouting and asking, "Qingning County Lord, how did you save Xianqiao County Lord, how was the truth on that day, still don't tell from the speed! Just now you also said that the only person who died was Niu Wenlan, and there were two other maids from the royal family, but what is the reason for this?"A dead royal maid? How
Early in the morning four days later, He Danggui and Meng Xuan returned to the capital and went directly to Yingtian Mansion to watch the results of the Yan Wangfu murder case. I heard that the trial of the Luo Mansion's treason case also started today, with one trial after another.On that night in Yan Wang Fu, Zhu Duran and Pao Yangbai pretended to be fake He Danggui, and both of them were imprisoned in the Da Lisi. Meng Xuan makes arrangements through his connections to ensure that Bo Yang Bai has the benefits of eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling in prison, but due to his disguise, he is sadly unsuccessful in the end.As soon as Meng Xuan showed up in the capital, the subordinate who had been secretly protecting the safety of Park Yangbai came to report that in the past few days, he had driven away a total of five waves of assassins who wanted to assassinate Park Yangbai.Just this morning, through the heavy inspection of the meal to the cell, obviously ha
Her mind was feverish, and she remembered in a trance that at some point, Meng Xuan had said to her in the bamboo forest of Cheng Xu, "I'm not Duan Xiaolou, and I'm not going to do the stupid things he did, girl, there's only one Duan Xiaolou in the world, and since there's no room for redemption between you and him anymore, you should always look away in the future."It turned out that what Meng Xuan said was true, and what Gao Jie said was also true, neither of them had lied to her. In this world, there really was only one fool like Duan Xiaolou.This fool had somehow fallen in love with a little demoness like her and hadn't changed his mind until now. Instead, she had married Meng Xuan as her wife.Is there anyone who can tell her how to return a love that is so heavy that she can't breathe, how to clear the past years and let everything return to zero? Her smart brain is no longer smart enough to face Duan Xiaolou directly."Now, you know everything." The
He Danggui woke up with a start, close at hand was Duan Xiaolou's handsome face, a pair of dark eyes, as if he had been staring at her for more than ten hours. She was dizzy, as if she had also slept for more than ten hours.She sat up with a jolt, checking to find that her clothing was intact, only a layer of outer clothing had been removed, and other than that there was nothing wrong.Her nervous expression pierced Duan Xiaolou's eyes, and he laughed silently as he gently asked, "What did you think I would do? Could it be that in your mind, I don't even have this much credibility anymore?" The voice was filled with bitterness.Ignoring Duan Xiaolou, she jumped out of bed and walked around the room, noticing that the bedroom had a single furnishing with a dark tone, much like someone's style. Looking back at the wall, there were five colorful faces hanging, and the one in the very middle had a yellow face, eh? That one is not ...He Danggui exclaimed out in
The testimony of her own sister! Exposing her lies!Everyone gazed at Zhu Duran, her pretty face reddened for a while, white for a while, making it even more suspicious. At this time, the conversation between the two Peng Shih Peng Jian brothers drew the attention of many people."Brother, didn't you also go to the east wing after you finished talking with third sister in the garden?" Peng Jian spoke without thinking and actually drew fire on his own brother.Peng Shi frowned for a moment before replying, "I received a post that said 'important matters to discuss, please be sure to make a trip over here, chee chee chee', and it was addressed to Niu Wenlan. I considered it over and over again, so I went on this trip." After he finished his words, the fake He Danggui, the real Park Yangbai's face was immediately a little agitated, because he also received a similar post before he went to Niu Wenlan's room.Peng Jian said with a start, "Could the murderer be you
"Who?" He Angelica asked a little nervously through the door."You haven't gone over yet?" It was Gao Jie's voice, "I have a question for you.""Go ahead." He Danggui held his breath."That mask, do you still have it?" Gao Jie asked without a clue through a door.He Danggui revealed a confused expression, and Meng Xuan asked for her, "What mask.""Rabbit Town, your gift to me."Gao Jie's style was always simple and concise, but all of a sudden, Meng Xuan was greatly offended. Meng Xuan grabbed He Danggui's pink cheeks with her hand and complained, ''You sent him a gift? Why don't you send me? I want the mask too."He Danggui pushed away this questionable child, Meng Xuan, and pondered for a while before she had an impression of Gao Jie's words. At that time in Rabbit Town, she might seem to have probably given Gao Jie four face masks, the extremely simple kind of hand-painted ceramic paper face masks.In fact, it is not really a gift,
The crowd turned their heads in unison and saw behind a clump of longleaf orchids a man with half his face left in the shadows."Meng Xuan?" He Danggui was taken aback and rushed forward, pulling him aside as he quietly asked, "Why did you run here? Does your father know about your return to the capital?"The visitor was dressed in plain robes, very conspicuous in the dark night, yet no one realized that he was also in the garden until the moment he appeared. He had sword brows and starry eyes, handsome and incomparable, and was none other than Meng Xuan, who should have been huffing and puffing inside the secret room.When He Danggui thought that the scene of Duan Xiaolou hugging her just now had also fallen into Meng Xuan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness, and also remembered that Meng Xuan had returned to the capital specifically to see her, and that if the iron-faced Marquis of Bao Ding found out that he'd gone AWOL, she didn't know how he
