"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
After looking at the moon for a long while, He Danggui calmed down slightly. She failed to stay faithful. How could she ask Meng Xuan to do that? His condition was not good now. As soon as she saw him, she felt heartbroken. She couldn't be mad at him at all. He risked his eyesight and hearing and came to the Baisha Mountain Villa to look for her. She was really moved by him. She must've been his favorite even if she wasn't the only one.Thinking about this, she suddenly felt less sad but her chest still seemed to be stuffed with some cotton. Although the villa might be dangerous in darkness, she turned around and walked across the corridor. Standing before the rockery in the atrium, she looked at the messy scene caused by the battle. What kind of life could be thought of as "happy"? How much happiness did she need to fill a man's heart?"Lady."It was already midnight. He Danggui was startled by the sudden voice. It sounded famili
He Danggui thought for a while and nodded with a smile. She said, "So you must've heard a lot. It's hard for you to wait until now. You seem to have a huge grudge against me, Third Childe, so you desperately hope I can be beheaded by this man from Nihon. Why don't you show up later? After this man leaves, you can come out and pick up my head. Then, you can send it to Meng Xuan and let him touch it so that he won't be infatuated with a 'flashy skull' like me anymore."At this time, Xue Xiao and He Danggui were just two steps away from each other while he still held a killing intent and the shiny sword was still in his hand. If he wants to kill her now, she will immediately be beheaded as soon as he lifts the sword. He was just waiting for Meng Ying to show his attitude. Xue Xiao was much injured and couldn't exert Feng Dun well. If Meng Ying was on He Danggui's side, he would have to give up killing He Danggui at this perfect moment. Xue Xiao asked Meng Ying again, "Will
He Danggui felt like she had become a cat whose tail was trodden. She opened her eyes suddenly and glared at Meng Ying while saying coldly, "I don't need you to feel sympathetic toward me! I didn't want to die for anyone. Why would I do that? I just saw the Xiao Huo Bombs hidden in your back but you didn't intend to use them and even wanted to humiliate me with that man from Nihon. Thus, I provoked him and forced you to use the bombs. I don't believe a kind man like you will watch me die like that. Even if you don't care about my life, you will still need to think about Meng Xuan's eyes. I just applied medicine to his eyes and he fell asleep. If he knew I was dead, he would cry at least, and the medicine would be watered away."Hearing her words, Meng Ying tried twice before saying, "Fine. Just calm down. Fourth Uncle found me just now and said he had something to deal with so he couldn't go back to Yangzhou City with us. He asked me to protect Meng Xuan and you and rem
He Danggui asked again, "Third Childe, how could you be sure that Meng Xuan was that kid's father? Why did Meng Xuan avoid talking about Miss Xiao and his son in front of you? He isn't an irresponsible man. He won't conceal the existence of his child even if the mother is just an ignoble prostitute, let alone a brilliant woman like Miss Xiao that you think." Of course, she was using ventriloquism.Meng Ying revolved around He Danggui again and again as if he was visiting an exotic animal and exclaimed several times. Then, he replied, "It's easy to explain it. Meng Xuan can accept having children with a prostitute or a maid who has no relationship with him but he can't calmly face the fact that as his friend and sister who is more than six years older than him, Su Niang has become his son's mother. Therefore, as an understanding woman, Su Niang would rather defame herself than make Meng Xuan feel guilty. She just said she got pregnant because of a bandit. And Meng Xuan h
"Hey, uh, Miss He..." Meng Ying asked He Danggui cautiously, "In fact, I mean, well, although Meng Xuan and Su Niang have a son and he has never told anyone about it because of embarrassment, the woman he loves the most is still...""Third Childe, aren't you feeling thirsty after talking for so long? I'm too tired to listen to you." He Danggui interrupted him by ventriloquism and looked up at Meng Ying with mockery in her eyes. She continued while shaking her head in disagreement, "Meng Xuan is the seventh child in Meng's Family and one year younger than you, but he is busy with military affairs and practicing martial arts all the time. And you, as the eldest legitimate son of Meng's Family, can't compare with my man, Meng Xuan, in all areas. After all, men are different. Not all people can be talented generals and fight against enemies at just ten years old."Meng Ying was stunned. He goggled at He Danggui with an unbelievable expression... Her man?
He Danggui slightly loosened the cloth around her chin tightened by Meng Ying and took a breath. Then, she began to mock Meng Ying with her mouth, "You're biological brothers but there's a huge difference between you two. Meng Xuan is a man of integrity. I admire him very much as I think about his prestige and his tough life in the army when the coldness could even pierce through the soldiers' armor and he still had to prepare for fighting against enemies even. As a woman, I can sacrifice everything for a husband like him. About you, Third Childe, although you have quite good qualifications and moral standing, you are really a hateful man. You can't fight for the country or ease your father's burden but you keep bullying an innocent girl like me. You make me speechless."She felt uncomfortable because of Meng Ying's words and knew what he thought about well. He just hated seeing Meng Xuan being infatuated with a woman whom he thought was vicious. Since she
Meng Ying was too shocked to say anything after hearing He Danggui’s cold words and seeing her callousness.He Danggui looked down and thought silently. She had mentioned to Chang Nuo one month ago that something might happen to the waters around Yinma Town and there would be undercurrents this winter. She had also taken this as an example and asked to sell intelligence about the waters to Yangzhou Caobang Organization, the biggest sect running waterborne trade. Judging from Chang Nuo’s expression at that time, obviously, he hadn’t taken her and her words seriously at all. However, her firm attitude should have caught some of his attention, right? Zhu Quan and the people to protect him had used many ships but when they sailed across the narrow area near Yinma Town, only Lord Ning died. That was really unreasonable.Meng Ying thought for a while and said with a sneer, “Lord Ning was always smart but he ended up miserably this time. If he had been kill
