Chapter 110 The First Time I Want Someone
"what are you doing?"
He was still a little dazed at first, but with a start, Beitang Yi was awakened by the shock.
"How did you come?"
Putting the knife back into the sheath, Si Chao leaned behind him:
"she left?"
Glancing at him, Beitang Yi sat down directly on the couch:
"Why test her?"
"I knew it was for her!"
Seeing his stinky face, he guessed it. He put down the knife, picked up the teapot, poured water for both of them, and then sat down on the other side.
"Her wound is healing amazingly! Have you heard the saying, 'Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like pulling a thread.' It's only been three or four days since I took her pulse at the last state banquet, but it's taken more than twice as long from the last time I took blood to her wound to split open."
"If her wounds were healing at this rate, they should have healed by the state banquet. How could they have collapsed?"
"Since her wound was able to split open, that's the normal speed for a normal person. Then how did the blood deficiency disappear?"
These two are contradictory.
"You doubt that she knows martial arts?"
Indeed, only people with profound internal strength can recover faster than ordinary people, and can use internal strength to shake the wound open at the right time. No wonder he wanted to spill the medicine on her just now. He was measuring her reaction speed.
"She doesn't know martial arts!"
Her whole body was smooth and soft, without any signs of martial arts training, even on her palms, there were no signs of rough work. The barely perceptible calluses were probably left by her occasional dancing.
Beitang Yi still has this confidence.
If she knew how to dance, how could she be willing to submit to him in three years?
"I know, but don't you think this is more of a problem?"
Si Chao's eyes straightened, and Beitang Yi pursed his lips unconsciously, because he also thought that if she didn't know martial arts, everything would be even more contradictory, and there was only another possibility left.
The last time her wound opened was premeditated and there was something fishy going on.
No matter why she did this, it shows one thing: she is not simple.
Beitang Yi knew better than anyone that she was indeed different from before.
As soon as he saw his reaction, Si Chao realized that he might have already noticed something:
"Ayi, have you realized that you have actually been controlled by her? Let's not talk about the past. Recently, not only did you get sick because of her, you took the risk of buying the house next to hers, and you also took the risk of breaking into the Marquis's mansion for her to seek personal gain. If all these things happened, you would be in big trouble. But what about you?"
It's like being possessed by a ghost, I can't hear anything.
"What if her target is you?"
"Ayi, you are too powerful now. Not only the emperor, but also all the forces, whether they are enemies or friends, dare not ignore you. Whoever wants to plant someone here for some purpose, everyone around you must be extremely cautious."
"She's still a widow..."
The two of them were not suitable for each other and had no future together. Si Chao was about to persuade him to stop, but before he could sort out his thoughts, Beitang Yi frowned unhappily:
"She's not, I wish she was."
In that case, at least it proves that she still has him in her heart and she will take the initiative to stay with him.
"You? I think you're really crazy!"
Si Chao stood up angrily, grabbed the dagger and slammed it on the table:
"Do you understand the tactic of inflicting pain on yourself? If you don't know, stab yourself and I'll sew it up for you. Then you can rest for a few days and then break it apart again to see what state your internal strength is in."
"Do you know how many lives you are responsible for?"
"If His Majesty knew that the Gu worm did not completely control you, and that the Crown Princess had limited control over you, do you think he would create another weak spot to control you?"
"Ayi, take a look at what you have been doing recently?"
"My rationality is almost gone. All I have left is to throw the evidence in your face. If I hadn't acted first and asked for your permission later, you probably wouldn't even let me try, right?"
"A woman..."
He hasn't behaved abnormally in three years. What medicine has he taken wrongly recently?
Si Chao was spinning in anger when suddenly a very depressed male voice came:
"Si Chao, it's been seven years. This is the first time I have what I want, the first time I feel like I'm still alive, and I have emotions."
This one sentence instantly extinguished all of Si Chao's emotions and words, and he fell silent.
"I believe her."
"This time, I want to gamble. If I lose in the end, I will admit it. Si Chao, let me make my own decision this time and live my life as I please!"
Standing up slowly, Beitang Yi patted his shoulder:
"She's different now. She's very smart. Don't test her again."
If it happens again, he might really lose her forever.
Beitang Yi took his hand back and walked towards the door. His back looked lonely and his steps were obviously heavy. His lips moved, but in the end, Si Chao said nothing more.
……
In the following few days, the whole mansion was in a state of despair because of Beitang Yi's visit and demand for 100,000 taels of silver and the matter of Lu Caifeng being sealed.
The old lady fell ill, and all the hospitals were bleeding heavily. Even the rats passing by were almost skinned alive.
That morning, after washing up and fixing her makeup, Mu Lianzhi couldn't hide her smile as she listened to the gossip Chunmiao was asking about:
"is it?"
"How could it be false? Now people are saying that the young lady is kind and filial, and the Marquis's mansion is worthless. This is retribution. Aunt Sang also paid tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this does not include the money she got for ransom."
Chun Miao picked out some jewelry for Mu Lianzhi to choose from, and her eyes were full of excitement:
"No wonder the redemption of the head didn't fall to us this time. We are probably afraid of further criticism from outside. Whether we are targeted again or our reputation is ruined, it will not be good for the Marquisate."
Thinking of something, Chun Miao's lips drooped again:
"Oh, Miss, there might really be some happy event. I have seen Guan Yan and Nanny Song coming in and out several times in the past two days. They were in contact with people from the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion..."
I'm afraid the eldest lady's marriage is on the agenda.
"As expected."
Nodding, Mu Lianzhi didn't react much:
"I'm going to pay my respects to the old lady in a little while, so I'll ask about this while I'm at it."
After comparing two pink and blue cicada-wing flowers, Mu Lianzhi replaced the gold and jade hairpins on her head with eye-catching but not expensive pearl decorations.
"Miss, that was a gift from an adult. It is very precious."
She was going to Fudeyuan, why did she wear this?
Instinctively, Chunmiao wanted to pick it off for her, but Mu Lianzhi raised her hand to stop her:
"It doesn't matter. They can't take it away."
If they weren't all gathered together, she wouldn't wear it. Why should she join the Marquis's family in being frugal?
Thinking of something, she hooked her finger at Chunmiao again:
"Go find Xia Xiu and Leng Yu and ask them to go out for a while..."
He whispered a few more words in her ear.
When she came back, Mu Lianzhi had packed up, and the two of them went to Fudeyuan together. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Sang Xi and Ling Feier blocking the aisle, looking cross-eyed:
"What are you doing here?"
