C3 Line of sight
As the carriage rolled in, the white-robed man leaned against the cushions and played with his teacup made of purple sand. His brows that seemed like a distant mountain slightly furrowed, and his eyes that had been closed all this time suddenly opened.
"What's that smell?"
The voice was like the voice of the Ninth Heaven once again, only to feel intoxicated with a single sound.
The servant girl put down the teapot and respectfully said, "Master San, it smells like blood."
"Blood?" The white-clothed man's thin lips slightly opened before closing once again. The corner of his mouth raised into an evil smile.
"Search!" The leader of the guards, wearing a dark red official uniform, shouted to the guards with torches in hand.
The carriage, which had been well-hidden by the straw stack, was revealed to the crowd in a few minutes.
Aunt Liu and the coachman were so scared that their faces were green and black. When they saw the guards in official uniform, their legs went weak and they fell to their knees. They were only interrogated for a few sentences before their bodies were broken and they were chained.
The girls in the horse carriage came back from the dead, so they secretly opened the curtains to look outside. The guards were all in high spirits, and some of the girls even blushed when they saw what had happened.
The curtain was pushed aside, and the head guard looked around before tossing a large bag in the middle of the crowd of young ladies.
"These are the silver taels my master gave you. Take them and split among yourselves. In the future, be careful not to fall into the hands of traffickers."
After the guard said this, he turned around and walked towards the black carriage.
"Hey, hey! What's the matter with you? Why did he faint? Hands! Why is your hand bleeding so much! You're crazy! Cut off my own hand!? " Big Sis and Big Sis, who had been sitting opposite Xiao Qi the whole time, screamed in panic when they saw the unconscious Xiao Qi opposite them.
Just now, the coachman was asking why there was the smell of blood. Xiao Qi said that someone had come to Sunflower Dew, but she didn't expect that Xiao Qi was actually committing suicide.
"Childish, it's better to die than to live. I won't commit suicide," the girl on the other side muttered as she looked at Xiao Qi with disdain.
"You bunch of idiots, can't you see? She purposely cut her hand and lured the car over with the smell of blood, it was her who saved us!" You're still making sarcastic remarks here! "If not for her, we would all be dead by now!"
As soon as the blue-clothed girl finished speaking, everyone came to their senses. They all looked at Xiao Qi in shock. Using their lives to make this bet was too audacious …
At this moment, the girl who was making sarcastic remarks also lowered her head. She did not dare to say another word as she was afraid of angering the crowd.
The blue-clothed girl glared viciously at the girl before gritting her teeth and pulling open the curtain of the carriage.
"Are you saying that this girl used her own blood to attract our attention and then saved the lives of a whole train of people?"
A clear and cold voice lazily resounded through the night sky through the brocade curtain, the faint sound of the clinking of tea cups could be heard.
"Yes, that group of girls begged me bitterly, saying that they wanted me to save this girl. This servant thought that this lord had always been benevolent to the world, so I boldly came to ask for permission."
"Compassionate to the world? "Heh." A burst of laughter that was barely discernible yet enough to make one's hair stand on end came out from the carriage. The guard kneeling outside the carriage immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Everyone in the world knew that Ning Wang, Helian Helian Fei, was sinister and ruthless. He had killed his brother and mother, was greedy for money, and had treated the common people harshly, and had done all sorts of evil deeds. Yet, he had such a gift from heaven.
"If he's not dead, take him back with you." Helian Fei closed his eyes lightly. From start to finish, he did not even open the curtain.
Xiao Qi woke up in pain. She was already on her last breath from her long malnourished body. Fortunately, Ning Wang didn't treat her too harshly. She miraculously survived the simple bandaging of her wounds.
"Miss Xiang, this servant advises you not to go in. You should know the temper of the prince. If the prince finds out about this …" "Th-this is something we can't explain, why don't you stop trying to make things difficult for us."
"Humph, a wild girl that I picked up along the way, so what? I have been too reckless lately. I dare to pick up all sorts of things from the house …"
"Really? I thought you didn't like it, so I didn't bring it out." Cheng Wan said happily.
"How could that be? I really like it." Her cheeks flushed red. Giving something like a necklace to a girl meant that she had fallen for the other party. Thus, she seemed to be very happy.
Cheng Dang was, of course, happier, so he continued, "Can I bring it for you?"
She lowered her head and blushed, "Yes."
The two of them sat there, not knowing what to say. Although Cheng Dang had been in contact with many girls, he still felt awkward with Wanru.
Cheng Wan knew that it was not just about treating him to a meal, but also about liking him. He wanted to meet him, but it was difficult for him to do so.
As if Cheng Qu didn't say anything, she couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Qu, about that, did my brother tell you?"
Cheng Dang pretended not to know as he asked in confusion, "What is it?"
It was as if she was truly speechless. Could she really have to say it herself? That would be too embarrassing.
"No, it's fine. It seems that my brother told you that he wants to treat you to a meal." She spoke as though she was smiling.
"Oh, it's about this. He even went to the company to find me. Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble. I'm not used to coming to such a high-class place." Cheng Wan said with a humble smile.
"This place is not bad, treating you to a meal is not like other people. Of course, you have to come to this sort of place in order to be worthy of someone like yourself." It was like he was praising Cheng Dang.
"Hur hur, you only know how to joke." Cheng Wan said indifferently.
The meal soon arrived. It was as if she had not had the heart to say anything to Cheng Dang the whole night. Cheng Dang could see that she was not at ease, so he didn't ask any questions.
"Thank you so much for treating me to dinner today." Cheng Dang said as he walked out of the restaurant after finishing his meal.
"No need to thank me." It was as if she was replying with a smile.
"Did you drive here yourself, or …" Cheng Dang asked.
"Oh, I took a taxi here. It's very convenient here as there are a lot of cars, so I took a taxi here." He spoke as though he was giggling foolishly.
"How about this, how about I send you home. You are a girl after all, it is not safe to be alone outside." Cheng Dang asked with a smile.
"No need, I'll just take a taxi. You don't know who I am yet. Who would cause trouble for me? It's fine, you can leave first." It was as if he didn't know what to say while sitting in the same car as Cheng Dang.
That's fine too. I'll take a taxi for you." As Cheng Dang spoke, he rushed to the side of the road as if he was trying to stop a car. He was touched by the sight and didn't expect that Cheng Dang was such a good person who even knew how to call a taxi.
"Alright, get on the car. I'll watch you leave before I walk." As Cheng Dang spoke, it was as if the car door was opened, allowing him to enter the car.
After Cheng Dang left, Cheng Ye sat on the sofa by himself. Although he was very anxious, he was very confident that Tang MengBing would look at him differently when Cheng Dang woke up.
The sky gradually brightened and Cheng Ye fell asleep on the sofa. Because Cheng Ye didn't sleep well the whole night, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see Tang MengBing the next morning. This way, he wouldn't be able to put pressure on Cheng Kuang and would be very worried.
Tang MengBing got up and felt thirsty. She wanted to go downstairs to get some drinks, but just as she walked to the sofa, she saw a man lying on it. She screamed out in fright, "Ah …"
Tang MengBing's shout was too loud, waking Cheng Ye who was still sleeping. Cheng Ye rubbed his eyes and opened them. He saw Tang MengBing standing there in panic, her face pale.
"Bing Bing." Cheng Ye shouted gently.
"Cheng Ye, you... "Why are you at my house?" Tang MengBing thought she was dreaming. Once she woke up and found another man at home, she would definitely be extremely scared.
"I, I came here this morning. After I came, I heard that you didn't get up, so I waited here for you. I didn't expect to wait, but instead I fell asleep." Cheng Ye felt very ashamed. He had lost his composure in front of Tang MengBing and was speechless.
"How did you get in?" Tang MengBing said as she stared at Cheng Ye with wide eyes.
"Cheng Dang opened the door for me." Cheng Ye replied indifferently.
"Chengwu?" When Tang MengBing heard this, her face instantly changed.
"Cheng Dang, Cheng Dang?" Tang MengBing shouted.
At this time, Cheng Qu still hadn't gotten up. He fell off the bed after being yelled at by Tang MengBing.
With a "Puteng" sound, Cheng Dang was lying on the ground, and he was still in so much pain.
"Cheng Wan, stop pretending to be asleep. Hurry up and get up. You did a good job." Tang MengBing was like scolding a little kid. As she spoke, she walked to the door of Cheng Dang's room.
When Tang MengBing saw Cheng Dang lying on the ground, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Cheng Wan, act for me, who let you open the door for Cheng Ye, it gave me a fright, I thought there was a thief in my house." Tang MengBing said unhappily.
"What's wrong? "What's wrong? Actually, I don't want to open the door either. But if I don't open the door, then Cheng Ye will keep knocking on the door. Do you think I'll open it or not?" Cheng Wan said helplessly.
"When did Cheng Ye arrive? Why didn't I know? " Tang MengBing pouted and said.
"Five o'clock. It's not even dawn yet." Cheng Wan said helplessly.
"Is he crazy? What is he doing here so early?" Tang MengBing frowned and said.
"What for? "What else can I do? I must have brought you to complain. Didn't I tell you before that my friend and I were seen by him over dinner. It must be because of this. Otherwise, how could he have come so early?" Cheng Dang knew that if Cheng Ye had nothing to do, he would definitely not come.
"Oh, so it was because of this matter." Tang MengBing said and walked out of the room with Cheng Dang.
"Go on, don't you see him waiting for you down there? If you don't go, he'll definitely be worried." Cheng Wan reminded Tang MengBing.
"I was angry, but I actually fell asleep on the sofa. How infuriating, it scared me. I thought there was a thief in my house." Tang MengBing said with an unhappy expression.
"Bing Bing, I have something to talk to you about." Cheng Ye said impatiently.
