Volume 4 [Eight Realms Chaoyi] 338: The newlyweds stay alone in the empty room on their wedding night
Wu Shuang'er returned to her residence and saw He Mu lingering at the door of her room. She sorted out her chaotic thoughts, and stepped forward as if nothing had happened: "Auntie, are you okay?"
Bai Zhen was a little embarrassed, but a trace of shyness could be faintly seen on his face: "Miss Shuang'er, I have something ...... looking for you." โ
Shuang'er was afraid that Mother He would find He Lingyun in the room, so she hurriedly said, "Then let's go to the pavilion and talk about it!" Although she guessed in her heart that what happened last night was the most suspicious of Mother He. But after all, such men and women were ashamed and exposed, so they took Bai Ji to the pavilion on the mountain behind Tiangang Village and started talking.
Bai Zhen said: "Miss Shuang'er, I see that you are smart and beautiful, and I really want He Lingyun to marry a daughter-in-law like you." Ever since you brought our mother and daughter out of the palace, I can see that you care about my son Lingyun very much. Taking care of him in every way makes me ashamed of myself as a mother. So....... โ
"So what?" Wu Shuang'er could vaguely sense what He Mu meant, so she couldn't wait to ask.
Bai Zhen said hesitantly: "If you like Lingyun, I am willing to propose ...... to you." โ
"-I do!"
Wu Shuang'er was waiting for this sentence, after all, the raw rice had already been cooked. Although the two have not crossed the line in any substantial way, the lonely man and widow have crossed the moral gap and coexisted, and the dragon and phoenix crossed each other in a quilt, and they went on a blind date. That's enough to call it a 'husband and wife'. How could she refuse Mother He's proposal? However, through Mother He's own proposal, she was also more convinced of her guess that the person who drugged herself was Mother He.
Mother He was taken aback at first when she heard Wu Shuang'er agreeing so happily, and then remembered what Condensing Xiang had said to herself in the morning, "I have already communicated with Shuang'er, Aunt Bai just has to go to Shuang'er to propose marriage generously, she will definitely agree." Shuang'er's parents died early, and I, as her brother and sister-in-law, should be in charge of her. You and I are seated in the same hall, and with Zhu Daguan as a witness, we will be married tomorrow. As soon as the joy is completed, Ling Lang can get rid of the control of that demon girl (Nalan Piaoxue). From then on, my aunt no longer had to worry about him sharing the same bed with her father's killer. โ
I didn't expect what Miss Leng said to be true, and Miss Shuang'er agreed so happily. She said happily to Wu Shuang'er: "Miss Shuang'er is really kind, Ling Yun is still willing to marry the He family in this situation." During this period, in order to avoid the snow in Nalan, we have been sending people under the fence. I don't have anything of value to give you, so I'll give you a gift. When he waits for Lingyun's body to recover, I will definitely make up for it. As he spoke, he took out a wrapped hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Shuang'er.
Wu Shuang'er knew that this was a bride price given to her by He's mother, and of course she had to be treated special during the special period. Things are not valuable, but the meaning is the same. So he took the hairpin and said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't have to worry about those old routines, since I promised to marry Ling Yun, I don't care about the three media and six hires." I just hope that he can recover soon, and I am satisfied with my whole heart. I took this hairpin, thank you, aunt. โ
Afterwards, Condensing Xiang held a wedding for Wu Shuang'er and He Lingyun in a coma as scheduled according to the plan. This matter has nothing to do with Tiangangzhai, so it has not been publicized and fanfare to the outside world. Although the wedding is low-key and simple, there is no sloppiness in the details.
Wu Shuang'er was finally able to bow to the long-awaited ghost Xiaoqi. Because He Lingyun is still dangerous, the entire wedding has to rely on sleeping pills, and after the sleeping period, he has to be escorted into a separate room and strictly guarded. Only Wu Shuang'er was alone in the empty room on the night of the candle in the cave room, and everything was as if nothing had happened, and the newlywed Yan'er existed in name only.
In the early morning of the day when Wu Shuang'er accidentally ingested the love pill, Lu Feiyan took a package and went on the road lightly, and rushed back to the former residence of Qin Ancheng to pay tribute to her deceased father.
The back hill of the Fu'an Dart Bureau in Qin'an City is lush grass, and there are several small stone tombs piled up in the lush weeds. One of the larger ones is the tomb of her father, Lu Zhongzhi. It took Lu Feiyan nearly an hour to clear the clutter of vegetation around the tomb. Then he took out some offerings and lit the incense burner.
Against the sassy autumn wind, she pressed a wad of dark paper onto the tombstone. The wind blew her long hair with a slight roar, and it also blew away the pile of money. Undeterred, she put the paper money back on it and pressed it with a few stones. Then he straightened up, squinted his eyes and looked at the empty tomb with deep emotion.
"Daddy, my daughter has come to see you, I don't know how you're doing there. Since you left, Shao'an and I have left one after another. If you fail to run the Fu'an Dart Bureau well, we all feel ashamed of you. But Shao'an has not yet started a family, and I am always alone, and I really don't want to stay in this sad place anymore.
My mother died early, once upon a time, you were the mountain in my heart, and you were the umbrella for us to resist the wind and rain. But unfortunately we were not allowed to serve your ....... Lu Feiyan couldn't help but choke up and .......
Just as she was crying, a hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder. Lu Feiyan hurriedly wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and looked back: "Shao'an?...... You're here?"
"Wellโโ sister, it's a thing of the past, don't cry! Father, if he really has a spirit, he won't blame you! It's all my uselessness and failure to keep the family business. โ
"Shao'an, you don't have to blame yourself, all this is providential. If you want your parents to be proud of you, start a family earlier. The incense of the Lu family cannot be interrupted in your and my generation, you know?" Lu Feiyan touched her brother's face and taught.
Lu Shaoan nodded: "I know that once I meet the woman I like, I will bring her back to marry and revitalize the dart game." - Come, let's pay tribute to my father and mother together!"
The two siblings poured a few glasses of wine in front of the grave, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. After drinking with his father as usual, he chatted briefly and then returned to the inner hall of the dart game.
Lu Feiyan cleaned up the house and burned a few more side dishes. The two siblings were preparing to eat in the lobby when suddenly a ...... came from outside the door.
Shao'an hurriedly ran out of the lobby and came to the courtyard: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Here...... , Isn't this the Qin An Fu'an Dart Bureau?"
"Yes, dare to ask the girl what is the matter with my dart game?"
"I want to hold a dart. โ
Lu Shaoan smiled: "I'm sorry, the Fu'an Dart Bureau has long been closed, and we won't take darts for the time being." โ
The girl hesitated: "Don't take the dart? It's really disappointing that such a famous dart game doesn't catch the dart." Forget it, since you don't make money if you have money, then I'll find someone else. Dare to ask Childe Apart from your dart game, where else is there a trustworthy dart game nearby?"
"Hmm...... This one...... , In addition to our Fu'an dart bureau near Qin'an, there is no other dart game. If the girl wants to entrust valuable things, it is better to go to Suining, where there is a Shuntong dart bureau and a good reputation in the rivers and lakes!"
"Oh, thank you for your advice. But is it a surety of the bodyguard?" the woman asked.
"Guarantor?" Lu Shaoan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "The girl means that the dart you are holding is a human?"
The woman nodded, "Yes!
Lu Shaoan has grown so big, and he has seen countless darts in all major darts, but few of them entrust people to the dart board. Because with that money, it's better to hire a few more bodyguards. But this woman wants to entrust people to the dart board, and there must be something unspeakable here. At this time, Lu Feiyan came out of it and shouted to Shao'an: "Shao'an, you and I still have something to do tomorrow, and there is no need to ask if it is none of my business." - Send it off!"
Lu Shaoan saw that the woman in front of him had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she seemed to be a little unbearable to chase away customers. There was a faint sadness in her clear face, and her clear eyes showed a slight pity. Born with a weak body, he carried a plain cloth package on his back. At a glance, she knew that after a long journey, the bumps did not make her feel tired in the slightest. On the contrary, there was a hidden firmness in her pitiful gaze.
Shao'an didn't reply to her sister's words, but looked intently at the little beauty holding the dart in front of her: "Girl, who do you want to protect?"
The woman bluntly said, "It's me!"
"-You?" Lu Shaoan was a little surprised: "Why do you think of yourself as a dart and entrust it to outsiders to escort?"
The woman saw that Lu Shaoan was very concerned about herself, so she said, "Because someone wants to kill me." โ
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to kill you?โโ and how did you get here?" Lu Shao'an asked with concern, while stretching out his right arm like a gentleman and making a 'please come in' gesture towards the hall.
The woman understood who Lu Shaoan followed into the lobby of the Fu'an Dart Bureau, and when Lu Feiyan looked at Lu Shaoan, she knew that he had some ulterior thoughts about this woman. Just now I persuaded my younger brother to start a family as soon as possible, and a girl will take the initiative to come to the door. How could she not give her a chance? So the siblings invited the girl into the house, sat down at the dinner table, and began to talk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this woman spoke, without waiting for the ins and outs of Dao, Lu Feiyan was shocked by the news she confessed. She was told that she was the maid of the Zunwumen Ning Xiang Pavilion, and she was the maid who had been serving the military advisor to condense incense. However, since the Leng military division went to Xiaocang Mountain to hold the god ceremony, the Zunwu Sect has undergone earth-shaking changes. Leng Junshi is missing, and a new second lady has arrived.
Half a month ago, the second lady ordered herself to drug the wine of the head of the sect and the master of Duanmu Hall, and she was afraid of the majesty of the master, so she did not dare to obey her fate. Just to witness the second lady put a drug into the flask and threaten herself to keep herself tight. After this incident, she was arranged by the second lady to go to the back mountain, responsible for delivering meals to the head and the hall master every day.
One day, on the way to the back mountain to deliver food, she saw Tang Xianfeng helping a wounded person out of the forbidden place. She was afraid of being seen, so she hid and witnessed Tang Xianxian's rescue of the master. In order to avoid being angered by the second lady, she didn't dare to make a noise, went back to pack her things, and fled from Liupingluan in a hurry before others noticed.
She secretly sheltered in a deserted inn in Weizi City. Soon, news came from Liupingluan. said that Tang Xianfeng and himself stole the treasure of the Zhenfang sect of the martial arts sect and absconded in fear of crime. All the disciples went out of the mountain with all their strength to arrest and kill. Those who succeed will be given a second-class military industry and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
Hearing this, she wanted to escape from the sphere of influence of the Zunwu Sect. Hearing that the innkeeper said that there was a well-known Fu'an Dart Bureau in Qin'an City, she asked the Dart Bureau to escort her to Tiangang Village and defect to her cousin Li Da.
The matter was explained clearly, and Lu Feiyan and Lu Shaoan also fell into deep thought. If what this woman said is true, then the martial arts sect has changed hands, condensing incense is on the run, Wu Zhe is missing, Duanmu Qinghe is banned, Tang Juan has also left, and the martial arts sect is now full of internal worries. Since this woman has betrayed the Zunwu Sect, it is obvious that her life is in danger.
Lu Shaoan said: "Since the girl has honestly stated her difficulties, then we are willing to help you." However, we all have our own business to do tomorrow. If you trust the underneath, it is better to walk with the underneath. Once I finish the business in hand, I will send you to Tiangang Village to find your brother. During this time, I am responsible for your personal safety. While I can't make sure you're not hurt, it's better than if you're on your own. โ
As soon as Lu Feiyan saw that Shao'an was having a scene with this girl, she said happily: "That's right! My brother is kind and helpful by nature." Besides, he has many brothers around him, all of whom are first-class masters, so it shouldn't be difficult to protect you. - By the way, I don't know the girl's name yet. โ
The woman was relieved and said happily: "My name is Li Meijiao." โ
