Chapter 193 A woman who walked on the blade
Then, Madam Luo immediately felt that it was very reasonable. Yes, even if Sun Meiniang was really going to kill Yi, how could Biddy Wen know such a secret thing? Even if Sun Meiniang really planned any plot, she should be carried out secretly.
When Sun Meiniang noticed that Madam Luo was moved, she further explained, “You know me, Madam. Although I am stricter with this daughter of Chuanxiong, it is because she was raised in those wild villages outside, and it is inevitable that she lacked parental control since her childhood. Chuanxiong has been indifferent to her all the time. I could have chosen not to care her and let her grow up in a bad direction. But, in the future, she will marry under the name of the Luo’s Family. If she is still disrespectful to her elders, her future mother-in-law won’t stand her lack of manners. At that time, the whole Luo’s Family will lose face. You also saw what she has done to Guan Mo just now. Humph, she is so shameless that she thinks she is a fairy and will marry the Crown Prince in the future!”
Hearing this, Pan Jingyang was angry and wanted to say something fair for Third Miss. However, he saw that although Third Miss wore a bloody dress and carried a stone lock, her face was strangely calm. Her black eyes were like 2 deep wells that lured people to jump down. She must be very sad when she was scolded by someone. Besides, she had to endure her sorrow and continued to be punished here...
Just now he didn’t help her to open the lock because he saw that she was still in good spirits. But after she jumped out of the quilt, he found that her whole body was covered with blood. Although it seemed that the blood was not hers, he could not help worrying about her.
As early as 2 years ago, he found that Third Miss was a woman who always walked on the blade. In fact, there were more smooth roads on the left and right. For example, he had seen it with his own eyes several times that every time Childe Feng came to visit Madam Luo, Childe Feng always visited her with all kinds of precious gifts... Childe Feng should like her and give her a real home. She should be moved by the outstanding person like Childe Feng. However, she always left that person a merciless back. And then she continued to walk on the blade.
Was she the same now? Clearly, her wound was very painful, but she said no pain. She was stabbed by those words, but she hid her wound indifferently.
“Second Mistress Luo, I think you deviate from what we are talking about.” Pan Jingyang pointed out the problem, “We are talking about Biddy Wen. Even if there is a certain degree of credibility in her words, what does it have to do with Third Miss? Third Miss is also a victim. Now she wears a heavy stone lock, and her shoulders are hurt badly. How could she be an accomplice with Biddy Wen? Even if you feel wronged, you don’t have to do everything to frame up Third Miss and vent your anger on her. The last words were written by Biddy Wen, and were announced by me. If you have any complaints, you can vent your anger on me.”
Ding Rong’s wife sneered and said, “It was just her bitter trick. Biddy Wen said that there were leprosy virus and smallpox virus on the stone lock, but she still wore it so safely. It is obvious that there is something wrong.” Then she turned her head to look at Madam Luo and said, “You can see. If the stone lock is really poisonous, she should at least cry, jump up and shake, right? So, I guess, she and Biddy Wen must be accomplices, and that stone lock also has no poison at all!”
Madam Luo looked at her granddaughter, who was standing by the door with the stone lock. As Ding Rong’s wife said, she was clam after contacting poison. If normal people heard that something on their bodies might contain poisonous snakes and insects, at least, they would have some performance of being frightened. Madam Luo frowned and didn’t speak. Who said the true, Sun Meiniang or Yi? Madam Luo was confused. Mammy Tang and Miss Ji, who usually helped Madam Luo to analyze this kind of problems, went to the suburbs a few days ago to prepare for ancestor worship. Now things were complicated and confusing. Who should she trust?
He Danggui finally opened her mouth. She asked Pan Jingyang softly, “Uncle Pan, I’ve heard that wolfhounds have very sensitive noses and can never make mistakes in identifying things. Is this true?”
Pan Jingyang was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and replied, “Of course, the wolfhound has always been the best helper for Yamen’s guards. Luo’s Mansion has always been stable, and this kind of wolfhound is not needed. But Guang Hang loves to domesticate beasts, so he raises several wolfhounds in the west yard. Unexpectedly, it came into play today. We let them smell the bedding of Biddy Wen in the torture room. Then, they took us to find the burned corpse. It is certain that it was the injured Biddy Wen.”
“Thank you for your detailed explanation.” He Danggui nodded her head and looked at Madam Luo. Her black pupils were like ink, and seemed to have a kind of persuasive magic power. She said slowly, “Madam, I was put on a heavy poison lock by Biddy Wen, and I was seriously injured in an instant. I am not painless. I am wronged. I want to cry, but my mother who care about me the most is not here. Who should I cry to? I’m afraid when I hear that there are poisonous snakes in the stone lock. Administrator Ding said that I should jump up and shake. Ah, I guess that you have never worn a stone lock. Next time, Administrator Ding, you put on a pair of 10 jin small lock. If you can jump in place, I will agree with you. Biddy Wen died miserably, and I am the next. There are Run Xiang and Concubine Hua. Sooner or later, the murderer will show her true face when she kills all the unruly people.”
The voice so cold, like a blade of ice, that Ding Rong’s wife couldn’t answer. It was the first time that she had seen He Danggui say sharp words.
Pan Jingyang frowned and said, “Don’t say anything, Third Miss. I’ll split the lock and let you free!” Then he stepped forward with a big stride. His right hand pressed on the handle of the knife on his waist. Seeing that Third Miss unconsciously stepped back half a step, he said comfortingly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll not hurt you, let me try.”
Pan Jingyang was about to draw his sword. Suddenly, a man who dressed in white flied here and became a bright spot in the night. The man was waving a folding fan while exclaimed, “Guard Pan, don’t move. Let me do it!” Then, he had already glided a few steps from the far to the main hall door. He stood behind He Danggui with the folding fan and chuckled. He said, “Sister He, don’t be sad. Your mother is not the only one who cares about you. I also care about you very much. And I’ll help you get the damned stone lock away!”
It was Feng Yang. Before He Danggui replied, he put his folding fan on the stone lock, which was on He Danggui’s neck. At the same time, his right hand threw out a brocade bag and used it to cover He Danggui’s whole head. He comforted, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.” Feng Yang winked at Pan Jingyang and said with a smile, “It may be a little dusty. Guard Pan, please stand outside the house.”
After Pan Jingyang went out, Feng Yang shouted with a deep voice, “Go!” Then, the most amazing thing happened. The whole stone lock suddenly exploded! It was broken into powders, instead of big or small stones. It was not quietly turned into a pile of fly ash, but suddenly, there was a big explosion that destroyed all things!
Madam Luo, Sun Meiniang and Ding Rong’s wife all cried with fright. Although He Danggui was covered with brocade bag and felt breathless, she couldn’t think of any reason why Feng Yang would hurt her. So, she just stood still and waited to see what Feng Yang was going to do. Hearing the sound of the explosion in the sight of the dark, He Danggui was a little frightened. Feng Yang blew the stone lock up!
After blowing up the stone lock, Feng Yang took off the headgear on He Danggui, and apologized, “I’m sorry. Didn’t scare you, did you? I’m afraid that I may dirty your hair, so I use this to cover your head.” He pointed out the beautiful scene of the hall to He Danggui with a folding fan. It turned out that it “snowed” in the whole room. Except for Madam Luo, who sat in the farthest distance, Sun Meiniang, Ding Rong’s wife and Luo Chuangu, who was still in a coma, were 3 “snowmen”.
It was just an explosion. He Danggui in the center of the explosion was still safe, but the stone lock had turned into very fine powders. Even a whole piece of small stone couldn’t be found! Although He Danggui knew that this lock was fake, even if it was a fake lock made of wood or paper, it was really sensational to achieve this level with one stroke of folding fan? If the folding fan didn’t point at the stone lock, but her shoulders, would she turn into powders?
What a terrible man Feng Yang was. And he was destined to be her enemy.
Ignoring Sun Meiniang and Ding Rong’s wife who were already numb, Feng Yang in white lowered his head and untied his belt. Since he didn’t untie it successfully, he closed the folding fan and continued to untie the belt impatiently. He Danggui was surprised and said, “What are you doing?”
Feng Yang naturally said, “I take off clothes for you to wear. It’s so cold, and you hurt bad. How can you do without wearing more clothes?”
He Danggui frowned and firmly said, “Thank you for your kindness. You don’t have to take off your clothes. I won’t wear.”
Although she didn’t hate Feng Yang, she couldn’t get along with Feng Yang calmly when she thought of the person Feng Yang represented. She even had obstacles to be a common friend with Feng Yang. However, although Feng Yang was not familiar with her character and temperament, he always looked like an old friend with her and made a very intimate gesture.
He Danggui had not seen Feng Yang for nearly a year. At the moment, when she saw him, she really couldn’t stand get along with a person who was closely related to Zhu Quan, and she couldn’t even wear his clothes. Although she did need a cloak to cover her bloody shoulders. Madam Luo and others could not see clearly from a distance. But if they approached at this time, He Danggui might be seen through.
Feng Yang was untying his belt while smiling. He said happily, “What are you doing so politely? I can take off any of my clothes to you as long as it is necessary. You know that.”
He Danggui repeated coldly, “I won’t wear your clothes even if you take them off.”
Pan Jingyang, who was stand outside the house, didn’t understand why Third Miss was so resistant to Childe Feng. However, he could hear that there was no politeness or humility in her voice. Instead, there was a sense of resolute determination. It seemed that if Feng Yang handed over his clothes, she would immediately throw it to the ground. Therefore, Pan Jingyang came forward and said, “Don’t take off, Childe Feng. Let Third Miss wear mine.”
With that, Pan Jingyang took off his nightly cloak and wrapped the bloody girl in it. He was so close that he had noticed that although the shoulders of Third Miss were soaked with blood, the dress on her shoulders was not worn at all, nor did it look like she was injured. It was strange that Third Miss was not hurt with 100 jin stone lock. Where did the blood come from all over her body? Such a strong blood gas made her injury look very lifelike. Even if someone looked at her closely, the person might not immediately find that Third Miss was not hurt.
After wrapping up the cloak, He Danggui thanked Pan Jingyang firstly, and then thanked Feng Yang. Finally, she looked at Sun Meiniang and Ding Rong’s wife, who were kneeling on the ground. She smiled and said, “Second Aunt, you just said that I was in collusion with Biddy Wen, and the stone lock was free from virus and poisonous snakes and insects. Now Childe Feng helps me to untie the chain, and finally the truth is revealed. Please see.” She pointed to the ground not far away from them. There were a few small snakes lying there. One of them was still trembling slightly. Those small snakes were colorful and poisonous.
He Danggui looked at Madam Luo and said, “Madam, with this, can I prove my innocence? As to whether the stone lock has leprosy virus and smallpox virus, we have to wait and see.”
At this time, Sun Meiniang, who was covered with stone powder and saw the poisonous snake at first sight, was no longer as noble and calm as before. She couldn’t help shaking.
He Danggui shook her head and sighed, “But this time, there are 3 more ‘experimental objects’. My Second Uncle, Second Aunt and Administrator Ding accompany me to wait for the results. I am really…flattered.”
