“Does that mean you like him?”
Pei Xiangjun took a deep breath and thought for a moment. “1 met Jingtang first. His aunt has long planned to betroth me to Jingtang. Even… even if you and Jingtang did it first, according to the order, you should be the one who listens to me…”
Luo Ning raised her hand. “Let’s not talk about the first-come, first-served issue. Although Ye Jingtang is lascivious, he’s only lascivious to me. If you don’t take the initiative to express your feelings, he definitely won’t say anything to you. Once 1 leave and you act all shy again, he won’t have anyone to treat him and will have to hold it in. If something happens…”
Pei Xiangjun frowned slightly. “You mean, you want me to take the initiative to express my feelings to Jingtang and… and then what?”
Luo Ning nodded slightly. “There are still two pills left from the medicine I bought. If you’re too embarrassed to speak, take one. Then everything will be resolved the next day.”
Pei Xiangjun had a strange look in her eyes. “I… I’m not being forced. Why would I drug myself? But about this…”
Luo Ning said unhappily, “Third Lady, I’m telling you the truth. If you continue like this, I’ll really ignore you in the future.”
“Okay, I get it. Why are you so fierce… If you’re not around, I’ll help Jingtang recuperate. You take meticulous care of Jingtang, and I’m not inferior to you. When are you leaving?”
?
Luo Ning felt that Third Lady had no conscience and hoped that she would leave as soon as possible. “I don’t want to leave, but there’s something going on at home. I can’t say for sure when… Don’t wait until you’re about to die before thinking about sharpening your spear at the last minute. If you don’t tell me in advance, I’ll take Jingtang with me when 1 leave. Then, you can slowly think about it in the capital yourself.”
“Sigh-” Pei Xiangjun’s mature and beautiful face was rather complicated, and she looked like she was deliberating.
Luo Ning didn’t disturb her and just changed her clothes unhurriedly. But halfway through, she suddenly heard a sound coming from under the bed.
Click!
Clatter!
“All!”
Two alarmed shouts came at the same time.
In the Azure Dragon Hall, three incense sticks were burning.
Ye Jingtang was standing in front of the memorial tablet with his hands behind his back, recalling the bits and pieces of his life with his foster father.
In the past, his foster father had always been drunk and looked like an ordinary old man. He didn’t think that he was special.
Now that he had traveled Jianghu and understood what had happened to his foster father in Jianghu back then, he understood how much had been hidden behind his drinking all day to drown his sorrows.
Just as he was deep in thought, he heard some noise from the tunnel at the entrance.
Ye Jingtang returned to his senses. Knowing that Third Lady was back, he extinguished the lamp and turned to walk into the tunnel. Before he opened the door, he heard Heroine Luo and Third Lady talking.
Ye Jingtang blinked and slowed down his footsteps. He silently crept to the bottom of the entrance and listened quietly.
“Does that mean you like him?”
“I met Jingtang first…”
?
It sounded like the two women were talking privately.
Ye Jingtang could feel that Ning’er was full of arrogance while Third Lady was a little timid. He felt a little amused.
After listening for a while, hearing the two of them suddenly stop talking, Ye Jingtang wanted to say something to scare them. But then he remembered the first time he came here and how much Third Lady had frightened him.
When Ye Jingtang sensed that Heroine Luo was also sitting on the bed, his heart stirred, and he quietly moved the mechanism at the entrance.
Click!
The bed board split open from the middle, revealing the light above. As expected, two exclamations sounded.
“Air-!”
Ye Jingtang was about to catch the two women with a smile when he looked up…
(O_O)!!!
The two women were skilled in martial arts and had excellent balance.
Although they were caught off guard, they turned around in midair, wanting to regain their footing. But halfway through, they found that someone was standing below them. Their eyes were full of shock, and they panicked.
Pei Xiangjun knew that there was a tunnel below, so her reaction was calmer. She regained her balance in midair and wanted to kick the person below unconscious.
But realizing that it was Ye Jingtang standing below, Pei Xiangjun hurriedly moved her foot that was about to kick him in the face. Once she moved her foot, she lost her balance and fell flat.
When Ye Jingtang saw that Ning’er was falling horizontally in a flurry, he raised his hands to catch her, who had lost her balance in a panic. In the end, his pupils immediately constricted, and he saw a white moon rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes.
Then everything went black.
Bam!
There was a muffled sound in the tunnel, and the separated bed board closed again, leaving only the light from the lamp by the wall.
Caught off guard, Luo Ning had fallen into the hole and landed on the man. She was so frightened that half of her soul left her body. Fortunately, she saw that it was the little thief below, so she didn’t slap him directly.
After Luo Ning stabilized herself, her expression was still a little frightened. She sat on Ye Jingtang’s left arm and subconsciously hugged him. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and patted him. “You little thief! Why are you hiding under the bed?!”
Pei Xiangjun had made a move halfway and stopped. She landed on Ye Jingtang in a flurry. After stopping, she found that she was sitting on Jingtang’s right arm. When she lowered her head, she could see Jingtang’s cold face with his eyes closed…
Pei Xiangjun recalled that she seemed to have sat on Jingtang’s face when she fell just now.. Her beautiful face was as red as blood, and she was as quiet as mouse…
