What's going on? Bai Yao is a little confused. The bride comes out of the bridal chamber to chase the groom?
Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting, who ran into the courtyard from outside the courtyard after hearing the noise, were also stunned. Shang Chaozong, who was barefoot and only wearing a pair of trousers, ran out naked like this?
What shocked Shang Shuqing even more was that Feng Ruonan, who looked like a madman chasing someone with a sword, ran out dressed like this? He was barefoot, and a pair of snow-white calves floated out from under the skirt from time to time. He seemed to be wearing no pants underneath, and the collar
The snow-white exposed lower half... Shang Shuqing really couldn't believe it. To her, exposing her forearms in front of outsiders was a breach of chastity. How could a woman run away so openly?
She couldn't imagine that if her parents were still alive and saw their daughter-in-law like this, they would go crazy, and her father would probably order random arrows to kill her!
Lan Ruoting was also stunned. Feng Ruonan's behavior went against his concept of women's morality in this era. He could not imagine that the daughter of a wealthy family like the Feng family could do this. It was unimaginable!
Shang Chaozong turned around while running. Even with his bare hands, he was no match for him, let alone with a weapon. He immediately accelerated and ran!
"Shameless thief, stop running and risk your life!" Feng Ruonan, who was chasing behind, screamed sharply.
The monks on the surrounding rooftops looked at this scene and were speechless.
After regaining consciousness, Bai Yao dodged, rushed out quickly, and jumped down in the air. Hearing the sound of the wind, Feng Ruonan turned around and swung his sword, not even caring that Bai Yao was one of his own. Bai Yao flicked the scabbard in his hand.
With a trembling, swishing sound, the sword was sheathed in the empty sheath. He reached out and grabbed Feng Ruonan's shoulder, forcefully holding Feng Ruonan in place, and said in a deep voice: "Ruonan, stop making trouble!"
He separated from the sheath and snatched the sword from Feng Ruonan's hand.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him..." Feng Ruonan was struggling hysterically, his eyes were red, and there were tears in his eyes as he looked at Shang Chaozong, staring at him intently.
Shang Dynasty.
Bai Yao frowned, "Ruonan, what's wrong?"
Feng Ruonan gritted his teeth, "Despicable and shameless villain!"
Seeing that she didn't know what was going on, Bai Yao probably guessed something. It was probably something that happened that she was unwilling to do. It was a bit dumbfounding. You are already married to someone else. If that kind of thing really happened, it would be normal for you.
Killing people for this? If you let it go to the world, it will not be justified anywhere!
But he felt strange again. Didn't he still have the upper hand during the fight last night and not let others intervene no matter how hard he tried to persuade him? If you were unwilling, could they do anything to you? Could it be that you fell asleep and got hit by something...
Are you underestimating the enemy so much?
If she didn't tell him, Bai Yao wouldn't be able to ask more about what happened in the bridal chamber. He turned around and signaled to Wen Xin and Wen Li, who were panicking. It would be inappropriate for Feng Ruonan to stand outside like this. He cast a spell and dragged Feng Ruonan away.
Went back.
Shang Chaozong, who rushed to the door and was protected by Lan Ruoting, Shang Shuqing and several guards at the door, breathed a sigh of relief. He had never been so embarrassed and embarrassed in his life.
Seeing that Feng Ruonan had been restrained, Lan Ruoting turned around. Seeing that Shang Chaozong's image was a bit unsightly, he immediately asked the night guard to take off his cold-proof cloak and put it on Shang Chaozong. One of the guards also took off his cloak.
He temporarily lent his boots to Zong of the Shang Dynasty to cover up his ugliness.
Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing quickly gathered Shang Chaozong back to their own yard.
On the way, Lan Ruoting tried to ask, "Your Majesty, did you succeed?" He obviously saw something.
Shang Chaozong was a little embarrassed to talk about this matter. He nodded and admitted it, but it was hard to say anything clearly when his sister was around. After all, her sister was still an unmarried daughter.
He nodded. Shang Shuqing's face was already red, but she was also wondering in her heart. How could Feng Ruonan let her brother succeed if Feng Ruonan was obviously unwilling?
Back in his yard, Lan Ruoting asked Shang Chaozong to go into the house and change clothes first.
Shang Chaozong coughed dryly and said, "Sir, come in."
Lan Ruoting glanced at Shang Shuqing subconsciously, and heard the intention of avoiding Shang Shuqing in the words. She didn't know what she needed to hide from Shang Shuqing, but she still nodded slightly and followed in.
Seeing that the door was closed, Shang Shuqing also felt her brother's intention to avoid her, so she took the initiative to retreat.
Shang Chaozong found his clothes in the house and put them on slowly, his brows furrowed, obviously worried, while Lan Ruoting was waiting beside him.
After finishing changing, Shang Chaozong put his hands on the table, lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then said in a muffled voice: "Sir, this is a bit strange."
Lan Ruoting slowly walked to him and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shang Chaozong: "I was actually restrained by Feng Ruonan last night. Later, when I saw that her arm strength was gradually loosening, I thought that her strength was almost exhausted, so I suddenly broke away and hit her, but then...that's it! That
From now on, I thought she had accepted her fate, but just before, she seemed to have energy again and started scolding me, saying that I had drugged her... You also saw what happened after that."
"Drug?" Lan Ruoting was surprised, "Are you sure?"
Shang Chaozong muttered: "I was so angry with that woman last night that I didn't pay attention on impulse. Now that I think about her situation last night, it was indeed a bit abnormal. She was lively and vigorous before, but then...then she was at the mercy of her. It's true that there was something wrong with her.
Weird, I'm afraid what she said is probably true." He slowly turned around and asked tentatively: "Isn't it our place?"
Lan Ruoting hurriedly waved his hands and said seriously: "How could we do this? Besides, all the food and drinks here are taken care of by people sent by the prefect's mansion. We are worried that they won't be able to do anything in time.
The arrangements in the bridal chamber were not made by us, so it cannot be our fault."
Shang Chaozong smiled bitterly and said, "It's unlikely that the prefect's mansion did this to her, right?"
"Yes, if it really happened, who would it be..." Lan Ruoting said this, his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and his face looked full of doubts. He thought of Niu Youdao's behavior last night, everyone
Everyone was worried that something would happen to the Shang Dynasty Sect, but Niu Youdao called everyone back and said nothing would happen.
Last night, he was still wondering. Feng Ruonan was obviously seeking revenge. Why was Niu Youdao so sure that Shang Chaozong would be fine? Now that he heard what Shang Chaozong said, he seemed to understand something. He said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid it's just that person."
Already."
Shang Chaozong straightened up and asked doubtfully: "Who?"
Lan Ruoting sighed softly: "Let the prince get married and supervise the prince's sexual intercourse. It's so logical. I guess there is no one else except that one."
Shang Chaozong was stunned: "Sir, do you mean Niu Youdao?"
Lan Ruoting said: "There were some signs last night, and now that I think about it, it is most likely related to him."
Shang Chaozong was confused: "Didn't you say that the arrangements for the bridal chamber were not made by us? How could he have the opportunity to do this? Besides, I also ate the food in the bridal chamber. If Feng Ruonan is in trouble, why am I fine?"
Lan Ruoting sighed and said: "I don't know how to do it. Snakes follow snake paths, rats follow rat paths. In short, it's not a normal path. Our Taoist master's behavior is somewhat evil. From the past, we can't find it."
Feng... The fact that the princess borrowed money to buy the bride price can be seen that she is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. She does not look like a person on the right path. However, this person is indeed a person with means. His vision and knowledge seem to be superhuman. He can
Humans can't! I've always wondered how, given his age, that small mountain village could give him such a foundation? It's not like he could be trained by the Shangqing Sect, not to mention that he has been under house arrest by the Shangqing Sect. Alas,
What kind of disciple has Mr. Dongguo accepted? We don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing to have such a person around us, but at present, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing, and he is indeed helping us.”
Shang Chaozong was about to cry, his face turned into a bitter gourd, "What is this? How can I meet people..."
After some exchanges, Lan Ruoting left him alone in the house to worry, and Lan Ruoting went out.
After finding Shang Shuqing outside, Lan Ruoting invited Shang Shuqing to talk quietly aside.
"Brother, are you okay?" Shang Shuqing asked thoughtfully.
Lan Ruoting shook his head, hesitating about speaking, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not.
Seeing this, Shang Shuqing said: "Sir, if you have anything to say, please speak up. I think there won't be such an awkward situation between you and me."
Lan Ruoting pondered for a moment and said, "I just want to remind the princess that if it is not necessary, try not to be alone with Niu Youdao."
Shang Shuqing was surprised: "Why did you say this, sir?"
Lan Ruoting thought for a while, then reminded in a low voice: "There is something fishy about the bridal chamber. It is very possible that Feng Ruonan was drugged by Niu Youdao, otherwise the prince may not be able to succeed."
"Ah..." Shang Shuqing exclaimed. Realizing that she had lost her composure, she covered her mouth under the gauze scarf and whispered again: "How is this possible?"
Lan Ruoting: "That's probably what happened. The prince only realized it after the fact..." He roughly repeated Shang Chaozong's words.
Shang Shuqing was thoughtful and thought of Niu Youdao's abnormality last night. She also understood what Lan Ruoting meant. She was worried that she would suffer like Feng Ruonan did. She sighed softly, "Sir, you are worrying too much. Let's not worry about it now."
It's impossible to say whether he did it or not. I'm afraid it's impossible for me." This means that he looks ugly.
Lan Ruoting: "I just want to remind the princess to be careful, this person is a bit evil." He cupped his hands and turned around to leave.
Shang Shuqing watched her farewell and remained silent for a long time...
In the small courtyard where the monks of Nanshan Temple stayed, Yuan Gang came again. Yuan Fang nodded and bowed in front of him with a smile on his face, and was ready to be beaten again. Yuan Gang was not in a hurry to beat him, but said with some surprise
Looking at him, the old monk actually shaved off his signature white beard. He looked so much younger that he almost didn't recognize him...
The bridal chamber was in a mess. Feng Ruonan, who was sitting next to the couch, shed tears. There was really no place to sit. The chairs and tables were all smashed.
The scene from last night flashed in her mind from time to time. The situation under her control suddenly reversed, and she felt powerless. When she thought of the shameful scene of being manipulated by Shang Chaozong, it was so unbearable that she wanted to hit her head to death. She didn't know what she had done.
Shit, the recent humiliations have happened one after another, and I really want to die.
Wen Xin and Wen Li carefully cleaned up the mess in the house, but they accidentally kicked the golden wine bottle on the ground. There was a crisp clang sound, which startled the two girls. Feng Ruonan turned his eyes and stared at the wine bottle.
He frowned, wiped away his tears, and asked, "Where did this drink come from?"
