He Danggui recognized it was Meng Xuan's voice and she thought, "You're finally here to save me. Although it's a bit late, I'll still forgive you. You should come to me earlier next time..." She was also worried about Meng Xuan's injury.
But if he saw the way she looked now, she would have to spend much time explaining it to him. Before she could ask him why he hurt Duan Xiaolou, he would keep hurling questions at her first. Thus, she couldn't meet him for now. Was Meng Xuan one of the people of the two unknown groups Xue Xiao had talked about? Did he have anything to do with the attack on Lu Jiangbei and other Imperial Guards? If he did, she would be able to discuss with him Lu Jiangbei's intention to arrest her.
While thinking about this, He Danggui put one finger on her lips and told Liu Sui to stay silent. Then, she pointed at her clothes to show what she wanted. Liu Sui was a smart girl and she immediately understood what He Danggui meant
"Miss? Miss?" Liu Sui gently called He Danggui who was in a daze and asked, "Are you really not the person the man outside is looking for? Let's ignore him, then. Anything strange can happen in the Baisha Mountain Villa and I've been used to it." Liu Sui started to introduce herself while keeping combing the hair for He Danggui, "My name is Liu Sui and I'm from the capital. My family earns a living by growing melons. My parents are healthy and my brother and his wife call the shots at home. They thought I was idling away my time because I didn't do farm work. Thus, they sold me to Ling's Family as a maid 11 years ago and since then, I haven't been at home.""Oh? Don't you want to go back home?" Hearing her words, He Danggui got interested in the topic so she neglected Meng Xuan for now and asked, "Do you need to go back and visit your parents first before you go to Yangzhou City with me?"Liu Sui sighed indifferently and replied, "Miss, you're
He Danggui nodded tearfully and said, "I do. Meng Xuan, I'd like to marry you. Didn't we perform the formal wedding ceremony before?" This time, she was really willing to marry him. She wanted to do her best to soothe him.Meng Xuan couldn't hear her voice or see her response. Judging from the airflow on his face, he learned that she was nodding. So, he curled his lips even more and looked better. Then, he hung his head and asked her gently, "Xiaoyi, may I kiss you?"He blew his breath on her rosy cheeks. In return, she put her arms around Meng Xuan's neck and approached his lips. Instead of making a move proactively, she just waited for him to come to her.Meng Xuan felt ecstatic. After breathing hurriedly a bit, he followed her breath and captured the lips that he had long wanted. She was always cold. Only her lips and tongue were the warmest and most inclusive. She could tolerate the occasional reckless action of this man whom
The tall man next to them and He Danggui comforted Meng Xuan considerately at the same time, "It's okay. Just take your time."Hearing it, He Danggui turned to look at the man up and down. Judging from his appearance, he should be in his forties. He had a chiseled face with fair skin, deep-set eyes, and a Roman nose. When he put on a faint smile, he looked even more beautiful than a lady. There were two eye-catching things about him. First, his bridge of the nose and his chin looked slightly similar to Meng Xuan's, so obviously, they had kinship. No wonder that Meng Xuan called him... Fourth Uncle? Was he the famous elder Meng Xuan had mentioned and had taught him martial arts? What was his name?Second, she noticed the man's slanted eyes were as deep as a well and showed no vigor or pupil. As a doctor, He Danggui believed he was blind and it was just proved by his not making holes in his mask. For some kung fu masters, it wasn't very importan
Looking up at Meng Xuan, He Danggui asked gently, "Shenshi... Do your ears hurt? Do your eyes hurt?" Seeing him just smiling without answering her, she guessed he couldn't hear her again so she turned to ask Meng Xi, "Sir, what happened to Meng Xuan's eyes? We shouldn't let them be blown by the wind, right? Why don't we cover them with silk, then?"With a smile, Meng Xi blew his jade flute for a while. Hearing the tune, Meng Xuan laughed and said, "Don't worry about me, Xiaoyi. I'm better than I've ever been. Several days later when I can take off the earmuff, I will take you with me wherever I go as kangaroos always carry their babies in the pouches. Then, you can talk to me all the time." While saying this, he picked her up as if he was measuring how big his pouch should be designed."Kangaroo? What is that? A hamster with a pouch?" He Danggui asked while frowning, "Are you going to become a hamster?" She couldn't help imagining a hamster th
He rejected it because he was afraid that you might not recognize him!Hearing this, He Danggui was stunned again and even felt her teeth were sore. She had mixed feelings when she thought Meng Xuan had kept calling her before. She, however, just ignored him and applied flower decorations to her forehead.Looking at Meng Xuan who was wearing the earmuff and still smiling stupidly, she could imagine he waved one of his hands in the air while exploring the way with the oak walker, and his swollen eyelids were blown by the wind. And he kept calling her name... Thinking of it, she blamed herself for knowing the truth too late and wanted to make it up for him. She remembered the dessert he liked the most was...Meng Xuan couldn't hear anything. After He Danggui helped him up, he introduced Meng Xi to her happily, "Xiaoyi, our master is mighty and can be seen as the most powerful man in Wulin in the last hundred years. No one can compet
He Danggui was stunned for a moment. The first thing she thought about wasn't how Meng Xuan and she should distribute the priceless Di Ru or how scared she was after Meng Xi told her "Not long later something wrong will happen to your eyes". Instead, as a smart woman, she guessed her master was suspicious of her love for Meng Xuan and testing her. Why would anything wrong happen to her eyes for no reason? What's more, all ailments or serious diseases meant nothing to her.Back then when she lived in the Luo's Mansion, she got ill frequently. She often caught fevers or had excessive internal heat but she never treated herself because she felt better with a disease to cure when she was upset. It seemed diseases could provide her with another kind of sense of security so that the demon in her heart wouldn't devour herself. Now Zhu Quan could no more bother her and she had already confessed her love for Meng Xuan. She wouldn't let anything happen to herself, o
"Master, please take some tea." He Danggui served tea for Meng Xi.He Danggui found that there was a tea set, tea leaves, and clean water in the room. It indicated someone had lived here for a long time. He Danggui picked up two small pieces of charcoal with a clip and burned them on a stove. She also burned a small piece of incense that had the fragrance of jasmine. It was in harmony with their mood now. Meanwhile, Meng Xi took out a wooden fish and a silver qin and played music with them. Meng Xuan smiled and said, "Uncle, the tea brewed by Xiaoyi is one of Yangzhou's Four Treasures." Obviously, he got the message from Meng Xi's performance.He Danggui boiled water, washed teacups and the teapot, added tea leaves and hot water, washed them, brewed tea, poured it into the teacups, and finally, served it to Meng Xi. She was adept in it as if she was dancing but not brewing tea. She made a pot of jasmine tea elegantly. Then, she gave Meng Xi th
"Meng Xuan? Meng Xuan!" He Danggui called Meng Xuan's name in a low voice and patted his ruddy face, "Meng Xuan, wake up! I have something to ask you!"She called him again and again but Meng Xuan still didn't move. He breathed steadily. Obviously, he was asleep. Because of the medicine, tiredness, and loss of sight as well as hearing, he was sleeping like a baby and smiling.He Danggui sighed and took down the jade pendant with Azure Dragon on his neck. She observed it and was sure it belonged to Zhu Quan. Last time in the Depositary of Buddhist Texts, she noticed Zhu Quan still had some memories of his previous life and she stuffed the jade pendant into his hand. Zhu Quan, however, refused to hold it and it fell between his fingers. Chang Nuo who stood next to him caught it immediately. He Danggui guessed Chang Nuo would give it back to Zhu Quan sooner or later and then, she could distance herself from these utterly.Now, Meng X
