"Today is the Commander's big day. He invited us to watch the dance. Mother Xu, you won't turn us down, right?"
Inside Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, a group of people were angry but did not dare to say anything. One of the generals walked around the crowd and finally stuck his head in front of Mother Xu.
Mother Xu did not dare to turn them down in such a situation.
Therefore, the group of people started at Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. In short, no one could escape their line of sight to disturb the Commander. They were not there to watch the dance, they were there to spy on him.
By the time they left, the sky was already bright.
The group of celestial soldiers finally left. One of the workers immediately said, "Mother, hurry up and find Manager Huangfu!"
"What's there to find? The sky is bright and the child is about to be born! " Mother Xu cried out and slumped into her chair. She was in a daze and muttered to herself, "It's over! It's over! What's done is done. The money tree that I've been protecting for so many years is gone just like that. I was counting on that girl for the rest of my life, but it's all gone now. These goddamn bastards … "
"Congratulations, Commander!"
It was a good time in the morning. Xu Tangran, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the inner courtyard and immediately bumped into a row of his subordinates congratulating him.
"Hehe! Hehe! Haha … "Xu Tangran looked up to the sky and laughed heartily. Last night, he really got what he wanted. The gown was taken off, and the jade was smooth in his hand. It was a warm and fragrant jade. Eating it was like drinking rain, caressing it so lovingly that he couldn't bear to part with it.
After laughing, he pointed at someone and said, "Hey, what about the people who serve Miss Linglong? Buy two … no, go to Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and ask for the two maids who usually serve Miss Linglong. I've already paid for them. "
"Yes! I'll go right away! "Someone immediately turned around and ran.
However, after a while, that person ran back and said anxiously, "Sir, it's bad. Huangfu Jun? Y has brought people to block the door and wants to see you. His expression is very ugly! "
Xu Tangran, who was making arrangements with his subordinates, froze. Huangfu Jun? Y was someone he could not afford to offend. Last night was a good one, but trouble finally came knocking.
However, on second thought, there was nothing to be afraid of. The Head Commander had said that he would shoulder the responsibility, so he just had to push the responsibility to the Head Commander. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Please!"
Soon, Huangfu Jun? Y came with a cold expression. She even barged in with seven or eight people behind her. It was rare to see her so aggressive when she barged into the Heavenly Court's office.
Seeing her like this, it would be a lie if Xu Tangran said he wasn't nervous. On the surface, he still tried to pretend to be calm. The reason why he could keep his composure was because he had someone backing him up. Otherwise, he would have nodded and bowed out of habit. He cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Huangfu, what brings you here?"
Standing in front of him, Huangfu Jun? Y's gaze was murderous as he said word by word, "Xu Tangran, you have guts. You even dare to touch the people under the protection of the Great Ensemble!"
"Shopkeeper Huangfu, are you talking about Miss Linglong? I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding. It's a good thing that I helped her redeem her freedom. It's a good thing that you and I are willing to do. I've given the ransom money to Mother Xu. "
"You and I are willing? Putting a knife to someone's neck is also willing? "Huangfu Jun? Y's tone was fierce.
"Putting a knife to someone's neck? Is there such a thing?" Xu Tangran chuckled and looked around, then said with a smile, "Looks like there really is a misunderstanding. Shopkeeper Huangfu, how about this? Call Mother Xu over and we'll confront her face to face. You can ask her if I forced her at all."
She was already his. He did not believe that Mother Xu would be that stupid. What was done could not be undone. Why would she still offend him? After all, behind him stood the person who could force Zhou Ran and Wu Hanshan to commit suicide. Mother Xu was a prostitute who only wanted money. Was she the kind of person who would do anything for revenge? Furthermore, he had already taken advantage of Xue Linglong. Even if he brought her back to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, she would lose her original value. As long as Mother Xu was not stupid, she would know what to do.
Huangfu Jun? Y naturally knew what he meant. Mother Xu came to tell her just to let her know. Even Mother Xu herself said that she could not afford to offend him. She gritted her teeth, "Where's Xue Linglong? I want to see her! "
"Please!" Xu Tangran turned to make way and extended his hand.
Huangfu Jun? Y quickly entered the inner courtyard and went straight to the main house. Xu Tangran did not accompany her inside. It was too awkward to be there.
Creak! Huangfu Jun? Y pushed the door open and looked around the house. She saw a familiar skinny figure sitting in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her long hair.
She looked at the person in the mirror, and the person in the mirror looked back at her.
The couch was messy and the room was filled with a strange smell. As someone who had been there, she knew what had happened without asking. She was late. She could not have been any later.
She quickly stepped forward and held Xue Linglong's shoulders. She looked at the pair of red eyes in the mirror. Huangfu Jun? Y immediately blamed herself and said sadly, "Linglong, I'm sorry. I'm late. Last night, Mother Xu and the others were captured. I only found out about it this morning. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "Tears fell. She cried too, feeling sad for Xue Linglong.
Xue Linglong looked very calm. She gently put down the comb, raised her hand to hold the soft hand on her shoulder, and said softly, "Sister, is Mother Xu okay?"
"She's fine!" Huangfu Jun? Y shook her head in pain, "Don't worry. I won't let that bastard out there go. I'll avenge you. I'll go find Niu Youde now and demand justice from him!"
"Sister!" Xue Linglong grabbed her hand and shook her head gently. Her face was bitter, "It's useless! Yesterday, when Commander Xu was attending the banquet, he was summoned away by the Grand Commander. After that, this happened. At this time, without the chief commander's approval, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Forget it. "She suddenly became very clear-headed.
"Niu Youde …" Huangfu Jun? Y's eyes suddenly widened. Her anger was written all over her face. She clenched her teeth and said, "Bastard!"
She turned and left. She did not believe it. She wanted to find out.
Xue Linglong pulled her back again, "Sister, forget it! It's already like this. I've already promised Commander Xu to wash my hands of prostitution and be his concubine. "
"Concubine?" Huangfu Jun? Y was stunned. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, "He's such a despicable person. How could you agree to be his concubine?"
Xue Linglong smiled bitterly, "You call him a despicable person, but I have to call him master. Isn't this my destiny? This is my final fate. It all depends on which branch is higher. So what if it's higher or lower? The higher the branch, the more lowly I am. No one will look up to me. For many of my sisters, most of their fates are worse than mine. Forget it! It's already like this. If I don't follow him, I'm afraid my fate will be even worse. This is my destiny. "
Huangfu Jun? Y's tears flowed down. Her shoulders trembled. She suddenly hugged her and cried. Xue Linglong also cried. The two of them were crying together.
"No!" Suddenly, Huangfu Jun separated from her. "It's my fault for not protecting you. I will never let you be a concubine again. Linglong, just you wait!"
She turned around and rushed out of the room. She saw Xu Tangran strolling in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. She pointed at him and shouted, "Xu Tangran, just you wait!"
Seeing her run away with tears on her face, Xu Tangran was shocked. 'Crying? The great Shopkeeper Huangfu is crying? How much did she offend him? '
He panicked. If this woman really wanted to go all out, he couldn't afford to play with her! Would the Commander be able to handle it?
Looking at the open room and the faint sound of sobbing, he couldn't help but want to slap himself. 'What if I lose my life for not controlling the thing in my pants? Is it worth it?'
Xing Ling contacted Miao Yi, but he ignored her. 'Huangfu Jun?' Y had no choice but to barge into the Guardian Palace.
She didn't dare to barge into the City Guard Palace. It was fine if there was an official from the heavenly court there, but if she barged into the City Guard Palace as a merchant, she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. Let alone the City Guard Palace, she didn't even dare to barge into the governor's manor of the four city districts.
"Requesting an audience with the Commander. Please inform him."
"Please wait!"
There was a quick reply. The guard replied, "Shopkeeper Huangfu, please return. The Commander is busy with official business. He can't see you for now."
'Huangfu Jun?' Y gritted her teeth in anger. She took out a jade disk and scribbled down a few things. Then, she placed it into a storage ring and handed it over. "Please pass this to your Commander."
If it were anyone else, the guard wouldn't have bothered. After all, Shopkeeper Huangfu had a powerful background. It wasn't a good idea to offend her, so he had no choice but to pass it on again.
Miao Yi was extremely lazy at the moment. He didn't want to do anything. He sat on a reclining chair next to the well, resting his eyes all day long. No one knew what he was thinking about. At least, that was what Bao Lian thought.
He didn't know that there was more to the well than met the eye. Miao Yi had to be prepared. If someone really tried to barge into the Guardian Palace to kill him, he would immediately escape into the well.
"Master, Shopkeeper Huangfu has something for you." Bao Lian, who had gone out to receive the item, returned with the storage ring.
Miao Yi casually took the storage ring and examined it. He discovered that the storage ring was completely empty, save for a single jade disk. He took out the jade disk and had a look. He was shocked when he saw it.
There was nothing else written on the jade disk. First, she called him a bastard. Second, since things were already like this, she didn't have any other requests. Xue Linglong was her sister. She had to give Xue Linglong an explanation. Xu Tangran had to marry Xue Linglong. She had to be his legal wife! If Niu Youde didn't agree, she would go all out and expose their relationship to the public. She would wait outside. 'Will he see me, Huangfu Jun?' 'Y, you do as you see fit!'
She was going all out! Miao Yi realized that this woman had gone crazy. How could she write something like 'something between her and him' on a jade disk for someone to pass on to? It would be hard for anyone to not suspect it. Fortunately, he had kept it in his storage ring. If she had simply held it in her hand and passed it on, she could have just invoked her arts to take a look at it.
Miao Yi immediately turned around and asked, "You haven't seen the things in the storage ring, have you?"
Bao Lian was confused. "I haven't. Is something missing?"
Miao Yi asked again, "Did the person who handed it over take a look at the things inside?"
Bao Lian replied, "It's broad daylight. I don't think anyone would dare to look at the Grand Marshal's things. Is there a problem?"
Miao Yi thought about it and let out a sigh of relief. However, he couldn't sit still any longer. He took out the Star Bell and asked Xu Tangran what was going on.
After getting Xu Tangran's answer, Miao Yi was speechless. He realized that he had underestimated Xu Tangran's methods.
'He sent Xu Tangran to Xue Linglong to force Huangfu Jun into a corner? 'Y sent Huangfu Jun?' 'Of course he wouldn't see him. Was he trying to force Huangfu Jun?' 'Y used his connections to save Xue Linglong. Xue Linglong was his stepping stone. He wanted to confirm the higher-ups' intentions.
