As the sound of the walking stick faded away, Guan Fangyi, who was sitting alone in the dark, heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at herself in the mirror, but she couldn't see herself clearly.
She was really afraid that Niu Youdao would break in and see her like this.
The rims of her eyes gradually became moist. She leaned over the dressing table and leaned on her arms. Tears silently rolled down her cheeks …
Outside, Niu Youdao, who was leaving with his sword, waved his hand.
Uncle Chen came out of the dark and left with him.
As the two of them passed through the courtyard, Yuan Gang, who was standing in the shadows under the eaves, saw them off. He knew everything.
When Niu Youdao came back, he took his sword from the sword rack and stared at the cold light on the sword for a long time.
Yuan Gang sensed something was wrong and asked what happened, so Niu Youdao told him.
After leaving the courtyard, Niu Youdao stood at the edge of the mountain with his sword, enjoying the gentle mountain breeze.
Uncle Chen, who followed him, asked, "What's the matter?"
Niu Youdao, "When you were with Hongniang, Xu Laoliu wasn't with Hongniang yet, right?"
"Yes! Xu Laoliu came later, "Uncle Chen replied. He didn't know why Meng Qi asked this. Was he going to ask about his background?
"In other words, you know more about Hongniang's past than the people in front of you."
"Not necessarily. What are you trying to say?"
Niu Youdao, "Today, Hongniang was beaten up when she went out with me."
Uncle Chen looked back at the courtyard and finally understood why Guan Fangyi was acting strangely today. He turned back again and asked in a deep voice, "Who did it?"
Niu Youdao slowly said a name, "Wen Xinzhao!"
Uncle Chen was stunned, and the fierce expression on his face gradually disappeared. He asked, "Du Yunsang's wife?"
"It's her. When I went to visit the Fairy Cult today, I met them …" Niu Youdao roughly told him what he knew.
Uncle Chen sighed softly, "She knew it was an accident, but she still beat them up. This woman is a bit too much."
"It seems that you know the whole story. Tell me, if you want to settle the score, you should at least understand the situation, right? How should I start if I don't know the details? "
"I'm afraid there's no need for that. Hong Niang may not be willing to settle this debt. Wen Xinzhao warned Hong Niang not to meet Du Yunsang again, and Hong Niang agreed. "
Niu Youdao turned around in astonishment, "Could it be that she really seduced a married man and the matchmaker was at fault?"
"Of course not. Hong Niang is not that kind of person. She might be a little more unrestrained now, but she was not like this in the past. In the past, there were only people who came to pester her because of her reputation. She would not take the initiative to pester others. Du Yunsang. Roughly calculating, it was already more than 20 years ago. At that time, Du Yunsang was still unmarried, so there was no such thing as seducing a married man. At that time, Du Yunsang also came because she heard of his fame and friends. I have to admit that Du Yunsang had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament. She was well-versed in both literature and martial arts, and was proficient in the four arts. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was an outstanding talent of the Skyair Palace. "
"The problem is that Du Yunsang is too outstanding. The first time they met, Matchmaker, who has high standards, was attracted to him. However, Du Yunsang did not speak much, and only came with her friends. Later on, Hong Niang took the initiative to hint that a lantern could not be lit at night. Du Yunsang, on the other hand, seemed to have a tacit understanding. She really did bring a lantern that night. Both her hands held the lantern, and the two of them could be said to have fallen in love at first sight. "
"The reason why they did it secretly was because Hong Niang had suffered a similar fate before. She felt that they were not a match, and in addition, her reputation was not good. She was afraid that there would be resistance if they were to be together. Du Yunsang really went all out, and actually wanted to reveal their relationship without regard for his future. In the end, Hong Niang stopped him, afraid that he would not be able to answer to the sect. Thus, Du Yunsang immediately returned to the sect, and prepared to ask for the sect's approval to marry Hong Niang. He said that if the sect did not agree, he would rather be expelled! "
"Hong Niang was overjoyed and prepared to get married. She also began to prepare to dismiss us. Who knew that instead of Du Yunsang, Du Yunsang's junior martial sister, Wen Xinzhao, who was also the daughter of the previous sect master of Sky Palace, Wen Hua, came. Du Yunsang's Junior Martial Sister invited Hong Niang to go out of the city for a talk, and Hong Niang secretly went to meet her without us knowing. As a result, she almost died at Wen Xinzhao's hands. Fortunately, someone who admired Hong Niang passed by and saved her. At that time, Hong Niang was on the verge of death, and was sent back with heavy injuries. "
"When Hong Niang recovered, Du Yunsang also came. This time, Du Yunsang changed. He said that from now on, they were just passersby, and that he was just playing around. He said that he had never seen Hong Niang, and that she should not pester him anymore. Hong Niang's situation at that time was obvious. Not long after, news of Du Yunsang and Wen Xinzhao's wedding came from the Sky Palace. Not long after, Wen Xinzhao came again, and personally came to Fu Fang Garden to warn Hong Niang that Du Yunsang was already her husband, and that Hong Niang was not allowed to meet Du Yunsang again, or else she would not be let off easily. At that time, Hong Niang also said in a fit of anger that she would not meet such a cruel and unscrupulous person even if he begged her to. She said that if they met again, she would be at his mercy! "
"After that, Hong Niang even set up a platform to throw the embroidered ball in a fit of anger. When the embroidered ball was thrown out, there was also someone who caught it. However, Hong Niang was a woman who was able to let go. After calming down, she did not continue to mistreat herself, and did not marry the person who caught the embroidered ball. Instead, she gave him a sum of money. "
"A few years later, news came from the Sky Palace again. Sect Master Wen Hua took the initiative to abdicate, and passed the position to Du Yunsang. Previously, we suspected that Du Yunsang was under some kind of pressure. It was only at that moment that we understood. How could a mere Hong Niang compare to the position of Sky Palace's Sect Master? How many people in the world could resist such a temptation? "
Niu Youdao chuckled, and said with a hint of mockery, "I understand. Marrying the Sect Master's daughter in exchange for the position of Sect Master. This deal is not bad."
Elder Chen sighed and said, "That's about it. Hong Niang would never see Du Yunsang again. I didn't expect to bump into her this time. With Hong Niang's temper, if she had made the bet back then, she would definitely have taken these two slaps. She would only blame herself for not living up to expectations. Even if her teeth were broken, she would swallow it. Why would she bother to settle the score? "
Niu Youdao asked in return, "If she fought like this, would people think that she has a backbone? Would her reputation be good? "
Elder Chen: "Then what else do you want? Let's not talk about the fact that we can't afford to offend the Sky Palace. If we bump into them, we'll be dead. You also saw that Hong Niang would rather swallow it herself than let outsiders know. She would rather bear those messy reputations than go back on her words in front of Wen Xinzhao. It's not that we think that her backbone is useless, it's that she wants it. "
He sighed and added, "Daoye, it seems that you still don't understand Hong Niang very well. It's not because of Du Yunsang or Wen Xinzhao. It's just that there are some things that Hong Niang doesn't care about, but there are some things that she cares about."
Niu Youdao understood. Slowly, he said, "Elder Chen, don't let her know that we already know about the beating."
Elder Chen sighed and said, "I understand. I don't need you to tell me."
"You go back first. I'll take care of this."
"Don't act recklessly. The Sky Palace is not something that we can offend."
"I know what to do better than you do. I'm just a little curious. With that Wen Xinzhao's style, how could he allow Hong Niang to live until now? "
…
The moonlight was like water. On the balcony, Du Yunsang's upright figure stood proudly against the railing. His gaze was slightly unfocused.
The past was still vivid in his mind. He still clearly remembered the situation when he left Fufang Garden and returned to the sect. He was also nervous and afraid. He knew that marrying a woman with a reputation like Hong Niang was the pressure he was about to face in a large sect like the Sky Palace. Moreover, he was the Sect Leader's most valued disciple.
But he did not turn back.
He clearly remembered his Master's reaction when he mentioned the marriage in front of his Master. Master was furious. The word "impudent" was shouted out like thunder. Without saying a word, his Master hit him on the spot, causing him to vomit blood and fly out.
His Master walked in front of him and looked down at him. Are you awake?
He begged bitterly.
His Master was very disappointed. He shook his head and asked him, Do you know how much hope I have for you? I see you as my own son. How much effort have I poured in to raise you all these years? Do you really want me to tell you that the position of Sect Leader is going to be passed on to you? How could the Sky Palace's Sect Leader marry a slut who could be used as a husband? Where would the Sky Palace's face go? How am I supposed to explain this to everyone in the Heavenly Way Sect after hearing such a big joke? If something like this really happened, not only would I lose face, the entire Sky Palace would not allow someone like you to take the position. From now on, this matter is not to be mentioned again. Let it rot in my stomach!
He refused. He crawled up and begged. He said that he would rather give up the position of Sect Leader and be expelled from the sect.
After kowtowing, he crawled up and left. He wanted to leave the Sky Palace.
His Master's cold laughter came from behind him. Evil creature! Stubborn! How could the Sky Palace allow you to come and go as you please?
Thus, he could not leave the Sky Palace. He was put under house arrest in a dark dungeon.
One day, the light of the Moon Butterfly lit up the dark dungeon. It also lit up his Master's face standing outside the bars.
He continued to beg, but his master only coldly said, "Do you want that bitch to die or live?"
Just this one sentence seemed to have drained all the strength in his body!
Later, he returned to Fu Fang Garden. When he turned to leave, he would never forget that smiling and crying face.
At the corner of the pavilion, Wen Xinzhao stood there quietly, looking at his figure.
She also clearly remembered how her father flew into a rage because of that woman. This Shixiong had never disappointed her father. He was so outstanding that her father was proud of him. He was like his own son. He had long treated him as his son-in-law.
That time, her father was too disappointed in Shixiong!
She knew a long time ago that she would marry this Shixiong. She liked such an outstanding Shixiong very much. But the appearance of that woman changed everything. It was as if Shixiong was bewitched.
She couldn't understand how a slut who could sleep with anyone could make Shixiong so infatuated.
She ran to see. She wanted to see what was so good about her that she could make Shixiong so infatuated.
After seeing her, she was jealous. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? Her beauty was something she couldn't compare to. She was so angry that she almost killed that slut.
In the end, Shixiong still faced reality. He obeyed her father's arrangement and married her. However, he had an agreement with her father. He couldn't touch that woman. He also promised to cut all ties with her and never have anything to do with her in the future!
