Ning Jing's life had been full of ups and downs. How she wished her daughter could live a carefree life, even if it was just an ordinary one. She looked at little Tang Tang for a long time, then gently approached her and whispered in her ear, "Be a good girl, Tang Tang. Mother will be back soon. Once Mother comes back, Father will be fine. Then Father will be able to protect us. "
Little Tang Tang's big, teary eyes shone with excitement.
"Good girl, Mother will definitely come back," Ning Jing said gently.
Only then did little Tang Tang let go. Ning Jing glanced at Tang Li, then stood up and left without another word.
Lady Tang picked up little Tang Tang and chased after her, insisting on sending Ning Jing down the mountain. Tang Zijin followed them to the gate, but didn't follow them down.
He looked back at Tang Li, who was being helped out by the guards. He seemed hesitant, but in the end, he made up his mind. "Send him to that room."
Tang Zijin had drugged Tang Li a few days ago, so he had to be ruthless and leave no way out.
By the time Lady Tang returned to the top of the mountain, little Tang Tang had already fallen asleep in her arms. Children were children. No matter how sad they were, they would fall asleep when tired from crying.
Lady Tang settled little Tang Tang down and immediately went to find Tang Li. But who would have thought that she wouldn't find Tang Li in his room?
Lady Tang began to feel uneasy. She didn't have time to catch her breath and immediately rushed to Tang Zijin's study, but it was also empty.
The more Lady Tang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She asked several attendants, but none of them knew where Tang Zijin had taken Tang Li.
What should she do?
Tang Zijin couldn't be thinking of hiding Tang Li so that Ning Jing wouldn't be able to find him when she returned, could he? Ning Jing was a member of the Di Clan, so Tang Zijin had always held a grudge against her. Especially after being mocked by Baili Yuanlong, he disliked Ning Jing even more. Lady Tang knew all of this.
"That damned old thing!" Lady Tang huffed.
She went back to her room and found a piece of white silk without saying a word. She went around the beam and was about to hang herself.
This frightened all the servant girls in the room. Thus, it didn't take long for the news of the Old Man's suicide to spread throughout the Tang Sect.
Tang Zijin was standing guard outside a small house in the shade of the mountain. Tang Li was locked in the room by him. When the attendant ran over to report this, Tang Zijin was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. He did not even care about Tang Li and hurriedly ran away.
At this moment, in the locked room, Tang Li was half asleep and half awake.
His body was burning hot, and his face was abnormally red. Beside him lay a delicate and pretty girl. She was none other than the daughter of the Tang Sect's Fifth Elder, Xiao Lan.
She and Tang Li shared the same quilt. Both of them were covered so tightly that only their heads were exposed. She seemed to be very nervous. Her little face was taut and she didn't dare to move.
She had liked Tang Li since she was a child, but she never dared to say it out loud. A few days ago, her father told her that the Old Sect Master wanted Tang Li to take her as his concubine. Although Tang Li had become a fool and she was only going to be his concubine, she was still willing to do so.
Her father said that she had to take advantage of the fact that Tang Li had not yet recovered. Once Tang Li recovered, he had to acknowledge her no matter what.
The Tang Sect Master promised that as long as she could give birth to a son for Tang Li one day before Ning Jing, she would become Tang Li's legal wife.
Under the quilt, she was naked. Her arm was pressed against Tang Li's body. She could sense Tang Li's every movement. She could also feel his body temperature rising continuously. She knew that this was because of the effects of the medicine.
If Tang Li had not become a fool, perhaps he would still have the willpower to withstand the effects of the medicine. However, Tang Li was now a fool. As long as the medicine took effect, everything would be out of control!
Actually, she was a little resistant at first. However, after her father secretly told her that Ning Jing had also used this method to get Tang Li, she immediately agreed. She didn't believe that she, who was gentle, would lose to that tomboy Ning Jing!
Suddenly, Tang Li pulled off the quilt on his body and opened his eyes.
He sat up and looked at the room in a daze. He subconsciously pulled at his collar.
Hot! Hot!
"Jing Jing …"
He muttered to himself. Just as he was about to get off the bed, a jade-like arm suddenly came over and wrapped around his waist.
"Jing Jing …"
Just as he was about to turn around, the woman behind him approached and pressed herself against his back. She was so close that he could feel her graceful and exquisite body.
However, Tang Li still had that dazed expression on his face. He muttered, "It's not Jing Jing …"
As he spoke, he suddenly broke free from the woman behind him, got off the bed, and turned around.
Xiao Lan hurriedly pulled the blanket over her body to cover up her body. However, Tang Li had already turned around and did not dare to look.
He was clearly anxious. He quickly walked forward to open the door, but no matter how he pulled, the door would not open.
Xiao Lan was full of grievances. She was already so lowly, but Tang Li did not even look at her.
Didn't they say that men were creatures of instinct? Why was this man still so well-behaved even though he was drugged?
Was he really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
Tang Li pulled the door with all his might. He kept muttering Ning Jing's name, and his voice was clearly getting more and more panicked.
"Tang Li, don't waste your energy. Your father won't let you out," Xiao Lan said angrily.
Tang Li ignored her and kept kicking the door, shouting, "Jing Jing … Jing Jing …"
Xiao Lan did not say anything. She just sat on the bed in a daze and watched.
Tang Li kicked the door for a long time, but it did not open. He had already pulled at his collar more than once, but he did not notice it.
The effects of the drug were getting stronger, and his body gradually became restless. He kicked the door weaker and weaker, and finally, he stopped.
He pressed one hand on the door, and his other hand uncontrollably tore open the layers of his shirt, revealing his firm chest.
Xiao Lan was right behind him, watching quietly. She bit her lips and waited.
After a while, Tang Li tore off his shirt. It was clearly winter, but he still felt warm even though he was shirtless. There was a wave of restless heat in his body that needed to be released quickly.
Xiao Lan finally opened her mouth and called out softly, "Ah Li …"
However, Tang Li still ignored her. He became more and more irritable, and punched the door.
God knows what Tang Li did. Even Tang Li's fist could not break through the door.
Tang Li did not know why he was here. Jing Jing said that she would take him away. Why was he locked up here? Why?
Why did he feel so uncomfortable? His lower abdomen was on fire, and it kept surging up. It was strange yet familiar, and it made him want to see that woman even more. Ning Jing!
"Ning Jing …"
Tang Li suddenly calmed down and muttered to himself, "Ning Jing … Ning Jing …"
Who was Ning Jing? Why did she sound so familiar?
Jing Jing … Who was Jing Jing?
The headache that came out of nowhere made him feel even worse. He slowly fell to his knees, feeling so uncomfortable that he did not know what to do. He only felt that his body was about to explode.
However, even so, he still clung to those two words, "Ning Jing."
What was the relationship between Ning Jing and Jing Jing?
Who was Ning Jing? Who!
Just as Tang Li was thinking hard, Xiao Lan suddenly got off the bed and ran over. She hugged Tang Li tightly from behind.
At that moment, his body that was about to explode from the heat seemed to have been saved by Xiao Lan's jade-like skin. His lower body felt much better. However, it was not enough! Far from enough!
Xiao Lan hugged him tightly and pleaded softly, "Ah Li, hug me … Ah Li, I'm cold …"
Tang Li could not control himself anymore. He turned around abruptly and pinned Xiao Lan down in an instant.
However, when he saw Xiao Lan's face, he was stunned. He was dumbfounded.
"Ah Li, hug me! I'm cold, so cold! "
Xiao Lan was determined to get him. She wrapped her arms around Tang Li's neck and refused to let go.
Tang Li resisted. His gaze was locked on her face as he muttered, "You're not Ning Jing, you're not … you're not …"
"I am! I'm Ning Jing! "Xiao Lan felt that she must have gone crazy. However, in order to get him, she was willing to be Ning Jing just for once!
"Ah Li, I'm Ning Jing! I'm your Jing Jing! Hug me, hug me! "Xiao Lan yelled.
"Ning Jing … Jing Jing …"
Tang Li's tone gradually became agitated. He kept repeating, "Ning Jing, Ning Jing … Ning Jing, Jing Jing …"
"I'm Ning Jing, I'm her!" Xiao Lan shouted. She wrapped her legs around Tang Li's waist. She did not notice that Tang Li's expression had changed. His originally dazed expression gradually became cold and stern. Gradually, anger appeared.
"Ning Jing is Jing Jing … Ning Jing is my Jing Jing …"
Tang Li repeated himself before he gave a loud roar. He violently broke free of Xiao Lan's grip and rose to his feet.
He leaned against the door. His angry expression instantly turned into a sorrowful cry. He kept shaking his head and started muttering again, "You're not her. Ning Jing is dead … Haha, she was so close. I can't save her. I can't save her."
The effects of the drug had completely disappeared from his body. How strong was his willpower? How strong was his will?
He looked dazed, but he also seemed to be sober. His gaze was empty as he looked in front of him. A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. "Xiao Lan, you're not Ning Jing. You're not."
Xiao Lan was shocked. She could not believe her ears. Tang Li actually knew who she was! How … how was this possible?
Didn't Tang Li only know Ning Jing and his daughter? Even though he did not exclude Mrs. Tang, he had never called her mother before!
Tang Li, he …
Tang Li walked to the bed. He grabbed the blanket and threw it at Xiao Lan, covering her entire body.
He sat on the bed and held his head with both hands. He rubbed his temples hard. His head was throbbing so badly that he could not stand properly.
He only remembered that he was in the underground palace of Clearbreeze Mountain. He knew that Ning Jing had fallen into the fire pit. What happened after that, why he was in this room, and why Xiao Lan was here, he did not know. He could not remember.
The only memory he had was that he seemed to be sad for a long time.
That kind of sadness was indescribable. It was as if his heart was blocked. Every day, every moment, every moment was unbearable.
"Ning Jing …" He muttered to himself. His eyes gradually became wet.
Xiao Lan was wrapped in the blanket. She looked at Tang Li in confusion. She did not dare to make a sound. She was too afraid that this man would wake up.
Once he woke up, even the old Clan Leader could not do anything to him!
