The sentence that he had long been involved in a dispute made Shang Shuqing slightly sad.
She could not help but recall what Yuan Gang had said to her at the Southern Mountain Temple, that Daoye was more important than his cultivation!
The facts had proven that it was indeed so. It could be said without exaggeration that it was Daoye who had single-handedly pulled the siblings from a dead end to a broad road. Now it was also Daoye who had balanced the Heavenly Jade Sect, which allowed the siblings to develop freely without any restrictions.
It was she who had thought of ways to make Daoye stay. It could also be said that it was because of her that Daoye had long been involved in a dispute, which made her feel quite guilty.
He had helped the siblings so much and had given them so much help, but now she still had to let him continue to take risks for them, which made her feel very guilty.
Why did she run over to comb and tie up Niu Youdao's hair? It was not because of any love between a man and a woman. Wasn't it because she knew that the siblings owed him and had no way to repay him, so she did what she could.
She did not believe that her brother and Mister Lan did not know about the matter of her combing Daoye's hair and turned a blind eye. The reason why they did not expose it, was not because they had no way to repay him, so they let her do that work as a Region Lord to balance out the dissatisfaction that might arise from Niu Youdao?
Shang Shuqing shook his head, "It has always been him taking risks for us. We have not given him anything, but it is him who gives us. He can get what he wants, so what can we give him? What qualifications do we have to let him continue to take risks for us? "
These words made Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting silent.
She then added another sentence, "I can only help him comb and tie up his hair. Even if I am willing to devote my life to him, he will not look at an ugly woman like me. If he wants a woman, he can choose any female disciple from the three sects. No one from the three sects will have any objections, instead they will be happy to see it. So it is impossible for anything further to happen. You don't need to think too much. "
One sentence pierced through the two men's tacit understanding, making them both feel a little embarrassed.
"Qing-er, I don't have any other meaning …" Shang Chaozong had an awkward look and did not know how to continue his words.
His true thoughts were that he was happy to see his sister and Niu Youdao together. His sister was after all at this age, he did not want his sister to be wronged by marrying a man who came for the Shang family's power. His sister was ambitious and would not be willing to marry that kind of person.
But speaking of which, sister was like this, if not for Shang clan's power, which man would be willing to marry her? That look was enough to scare the other party away.
As for Niu Youdao, he felt that he was a good match for his sister. If the two of them could get together, it would be the best.
In his heart, he hoped that Niu Youdao would be able to see that his sister was a good person. He hoped that the two of them would develop feelings for each other over time, so he turned a blind eye.
However, under such an explanation, how could he say that he didn't have any selfish motives and didn't have any thoughts of tying Niu Youdao to him through marriage?
What right did he have to hope that someone like Niu Youdao would marry an ugly woman? Why would he marry Feng Ruonan in the first place?
So there were some things that could not be explained. Even if one had a guilty conscience, one could not explain it.
Lan Ruoting naturally had such thoughts in this aspect. He did not expect that the Princess was already aware of it and even more did not expect that the Princess would expose it in front of him. It was indeed very embarrassing.
Shang Chaozong finally changed his words, "Qing-er, why don't you move back."
Shang Shuqing sighed faintly, "I am open and candid and not afraid of what others would think. It would be easier to communicate over there and also show that Eldest Brother thinks highly of him. Why do I need to do something unnecessary and let others misunderstand that there will be a change in our brother and sister's attitude?"
Shang Chaozong lowered his head and did not speak.
Lan Ruoting touched his nose and changed the topic, "Princess, Princess has been talking about you recently. You should go and see her. Only you and her get along well."
Some things were very realistic. In the past, when Feng Ruonan threw a tantrum and asked Shang Chaozong to get lost, or beat Shang Chaozong until his face was black and blue, refusing to sleep with Shang Chaozong. Shang Chaozong had to endure it more or less. Now that Feng Ruonan's tantrum was useless, Shang Chaozong was no longer afraid of the Feng family and did not need to look at Feng Ruonan's face.
Now it was the Feng family who had to look at his face. Shang Chaozong wanted the Feng family to force their daughter to admit defeat, but Feng Ruonan's temper was stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
Shang Shuqing knew that there was already a beauty in her brother's room and he was giving his sister-in-law a hard time!
There were some things that she could not do anything about. She also knew that if it wasn't for the Sect Master of the Heavenly Jade School, Peng Youyou, her sister-in-law's temper would have caused her brother to write a divorce letter.
If her sister-in-law refused to admit defeat and Peng Youyou was present, her grandfather would not be able to reason with her. Her granddaughter's behavior was unreasonable to any man. She would beat her own man until his face was black and blue, and she even refused to sleep with him in a fit of pique. What was going on? In the current situation, the Heavenly Jade School would not allow her sister-in-law to be ruthless towards her brother. Putting aside the fact that her brother needed prestige in front of his subordinates as a commander, if something were to happen to him and he were to ruin the Heavenly Jade School's plans, Peng Youyou would not be able to explain himself to the Heavenly Jade School.
When Peng Youyou came to Qingshan Commandery, he had tried to persuade his sister-in-law, but she refused to listen. Every family had their own problems, so what if Peng Youyou's transcendence energy was profound?
The two commanderies needed her brother, so for the sake of the Heavenly Jade School's interests, Peng Youzai had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
She also knew that Peng Youyou had secretly sent a message to her brother. It's fine if you keep a few beauties for fun, but you can't take it seriously. The Shang Family's next eldest son must also be Feng Ruonan. This was Peng Youzai's bottom line!
With the Heavenly Jade School backing her sister-in-law up, she knew that her brother could not play any tricks on her.
There were some things that she did not know whether she should sympathize with her sister-in-law or her brother. Each family had their own reasons for doing things, so it was difficult to determine who was right and who was wrong.
Shang Shuqing nodded silently, turned around and left to look for Feng Ruonan.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other and sighed.
"Should we go and meet that Linghu Qiu? I heard that this person has a lot of connections. I've heard about him since I was in the capital. "Shang Chaozong asked.
Lan Ruoting shook his head. "Even if that's what the rumors say, I don't believe that someone runs around the world just to make friends. There must be a reason for him to have a lot of connections. This person is too complicated. We don't have enough strength, and there are some things that we can't suppress. It might not be a good thing to make contact without understanding his background. Daoye is not a foolish person. Daoye knows what to do, so let's not blindly get involved. When we need to meet, Daoye will naturally make arrangements. Prince, leave some leeway for yourself. "
Shang Chaozong nodded slightly …
It was raining. The drizzle silently moistened everything in the gloomy night.
Linghu Qiu, who reeked of alcohol, returned to the small courtyard that Niu Youdao had arranged for her.
The door opened, and three moon butterflies flew into the room to illuminate the place. Linghu Qiu sat down happily and took the teacup that Hong Fu handed over. She took a sip and returned it to the two girls. "How are the dishes and wine here?"
Hong Xiu smiled. "I've never eaten such delicious food in my life. It can be said to be the best in the world. I really didn't expect the dishes and wine here to be so delicious. This servant almost swallowed my tongue. This trip was really not in vain. Even my sister …" She looked at Hong Fu and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Hong Fu coldly said, "This servant ate a little too much today. My table manners might be a little inelegant."
Linghu Qiu waved her hand. "It's rare. It's reasonable to try more delicious food. Aiya, after this trip, why do I feel that I've lived all these years in vain? There's enough good wine and food. I don't even want to leave after eating so much. It turns out that the wine sold by the Heavenly Jade Clan is produced here. According to the market price, I'm afraid that I've drunk tens of thousands of gold coins today! Aiya, there's a group of monks serving me. This style is really elegant. Tsk tsk, my little brother really knows how to enjoy life. The food we used to eat was simply a joke! "
Hong Xiu smiled. "You can't not leave. If Teacher really doesn't want to leave, I'm afraid that Daoye will be anxious."
Now that Niu Youdao and this master of hers had become sworn brothers, the two servants also followed suit and called Niu Youdao as Daoye.
Linghu Qiu knew what she meant. "After that, he didn't mention anything about the horse."
Hong Xiu said, "That's because he didn't disturb Teacher's mood. We've already become sworn brothers. If he asked again, would it be easy for Teacher to refuse? Daoye has already said that he doesn't want Teacher to be troubled. Leave the troublesome matters to him. He has taken a fancy to Teacher's connections. Can Teacher not accompany him to the Qi Kingdom? "
Linghu Qiu slightly narrowed his eyes. "My little brother is really not simple. This trip is worth it."
Hong Fu, who was behind him massaging his shoulders, said coldly, "He stared at the two of us before. Did he see anything?"
Linghu Qiu shook his head. "Not necessarily. At most, he saw that you're not ordinary maids. Most of it was to test you. He knows that I won't give my woman to him, so he deliberately made up some nonsense to pave the way for us to become sworn brothers later. If I refuse all of them, there's no way to talk about making friends. This little brother has extraordinary means."
Hong Xiu walked to the side and sat down. She said softly, "It's not certain whether Dongguo Haoran participated in the matter that year."
Linghu Qiu said, "According to the investigation, he should be the person who saw Dongguo Haoran for the last time."
Hong Fu said, "Based on the strength of Dongguo Haoran, even if the whole sect came out, they couldn't have taken away the item at that time."
Linghu Qiu sighed. "Of course I know this. It's just that the Shangqing Sect's Tang Mu and Dongguo Haoran died in the same year. Many of their elite disciples were also killed. This matter itself is suspicious. I haven't heard that the Shanghai Sect had any grudges with the outside world that year. If we didn't pay attention to him and investigate his background, we wouldn't have noticed this situation either. The matter that year was really strange. Where did the item go? Alas, it's just a matter of convenience. We didn't become sworn brothers because of this matter. You're thinking too much … "
It was late at night. It was raining in Qingshan County. The sky above the Heavenly Jade School was brightly lit.
Peng Youzai was talking with several elders in the mountain pavilion. Several moon butterflies were dancing around them. The scene was beautiful.
A disciple rushed into the pavilion and presented a secret report with both hands. "Senior Brother Bai from Qingshan County."
After Peng Youzai received the report and read it, the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
Seeing his unnatural expression, Chen Tingxiu asked, "Could it be that something happened in Qingshan County?"
Peng Youzai shook his head slightly. "I reckon that the little bastard Niu Youdao will personally intervene in the matter of the warhorses."
Chen Tingxiu chuckled. "Isn't that a good thing? Didn't Senior Brother Sect Leader say that the kid is treacherous last year and want him to give it a try? "
