Chapter 17: Thousands of Arrows Pierce the Heart, No Good Death
It would be fine if she had killed that scumbag, but he was still alive and well, while she could only hide from him and live a miserable life.
The last time Lu Wanning saw her, she had lost her former high spirits and her heart was filled with revenge.
It’s a pity that Lu Wanning didn’t see the moment she took Wei Xun’s life before she died.
Now that she has a new life, she naturally has to help Sang Mingyue.
In her previous life, she could barely protect herself in the Chen Mansion, and was helpless in dealing with Sang Mingyue's situation. The most she could do was provide her with a place to stay, bandage her and apply medicine when she was injured, and then watch her continue to rush towards Wei Xun like a moth to a flame.
In this life, Lu Wanning didn't want to think twice before doing anything. Sang Mingyue wanted Wei Xun to die, and she didn't mind helping her.
Sang Mingyue's brother is still alive, which is very good news for Lu Wanning.
Sang Zhiyu is still alive, and Sang Mingyue will cheer up just for him.
Lu Wanning's eyes sparkled as she asked impatiently, "Where has the prince settled Sang Mingyue's brother? Can I go see him first?"
"You will be with me after the party."
A stone in her heart was put down, and Lu Wanning was in a very good mood. She bent her cat eyes and praised him generously, "Your Highness is really reassuring in his work. Thank you very much."
Qi Muchao chuckled and lay down. "If you really want to thank me, then make the medicine you prescribed for me into pills. I hate those bitter Chinese medicines the most."
Hearing this, Lu Wanning looked at him. Perhaps it was because of their time together that she felt that Qi Muchao was not that scary, or perhaps it was the courage given to her by Princess Qi, but she actually started to tease Qi Muchao.
"Your Highness is afraid of taking medicine?"
"What are you afraid of?" Qi Muchao glared at her. "There is nothing in this world that this prince is afraid of. I just don't like it. Do you understand me?"
"I understand. However, since Your Highness is not afraid of taking medicine, there's no need to make it into pills. After all, a decoction is more effective than a pill. I originally thought that if Your Highness really doesn't want to drink it, then making it into pills would be fine. Now it seems Your Highness should just endure it. After all, good medicine tastes bitter."
Qi Muchao: "..."
Realizing that she was teasing him on purpose, Qi Muchao grabbed her neck and pushed her down onto the grass. "Did you do this on purpose?"
But he obviously didn't use any strength at all. Lu Wanning fell to the ground laughing. After a long while, she suppressed her laughter and patted his hand, "Hurry up, there are people watching us."
Qi Muchao snorted and let go of his hand, "This prince just doesn't like to take medicine, do you understand?"
"I understand." Lu Wanning sat up from the ground and spread her hands towards him. "But there's no other way. If you want to completely cure this poison, you can only rely on herbal medicine for the first two months."
Seeing Qi Muchao's deflated expression, Lu Wanning almost laughed out loud.
She finally caught the annoying thing about this guy. If she had known, she would have told him that he would have to take this medicine for three months.
Chen Wenjian, who was not far away, had long lost his focus on the game of tossing the pot. He glanced at the two of them from time to time, but did not dare to be too obvious.
But this time, when he glanced over and saw Lu Wanning lying on the ground, he couldn't look away for a long time.
Something suddenly flashed through her mind, and the beautiful girl glared at him with red eyes, "Chen Zhaoming, you said you wanted me to be your legal wife. If that's not possible, I won't force you. Just tell me in advance that I'm leaving. Madam, you don't like me now. When you get a legal wife, I don't know how I'll suffer. I don't want to stay here any longer."
"More than a legal wife," the man seemed to think the woman was being unreasonable, but he coaxed her patiently, "I told you I'll only have one wife, not even a concubine."
"real?"
"It's absolutely true. If I, Chen Zhaoming, ever decide to take a concubine or marry a wife, I will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die a miserable death—"
The woman quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you really have someone else, I will leave and we will never see each other again."
Chen Wenjian suddenly covered his chest with his hands, his eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground.
General Xiao Song, who was standing beside him, reached out to support him. His deliberately low voice sounded a little strange, "Master Chen, are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Wenjian recovered from the heart palpitations he had just experienced. He didn't know why he had this hallucination. He just thought it was because he had too many messy dreams recently.
This is definitely not the state of mind and emotion that should belong to him.
Judging from his personality, even if he really likes a woman and is moved by her, he will never place this woman in too important a position.
Fame, wealth and power are the most important things in his eyes.
Only by passing the imperial examinations can one bring honor to one's family, stand in the court, and work for the welfare of the people.
Chen Wenjian slowly shook his head, "It's okay."
After thanking General Xiao Song, Chen Wenjian looked at General Xiao Song for a moment.
It is said that this man has just turned nineteen and has become a general at such a young age. He has gained honor in front of the emperor, and the soldiers under his command are all submissive to him. It seems that he will have many more achievements in the future.
If this was a young man from a noble family, Chen Wenjian might not have dared to have any rash thoughts.
But this General Xiao Song was born into a commoner family, and he had no other relatives except his widowed mother.
Although the Chen family is not a family of officials, their wealth alone does not make them unworthy of him.
Chen Wenjian thought to himself that he would mention this General Xiao Song to his father after returning. If this matter could really be accomplished, and General Xiao Song's achievements became famous in the future, their Chen family would also benefit from it.
After the banquet, the servants tried to persuade Lu Wanning to stay, claiming that Princess Qi still had something to discuss with her, and asked the Chen family to go back first.
As soon as the second and third girls returned, they ran to Madam Chen in great anger and complained bitterly. The second girl even complained to Madam Chen with some regret, "It's all mother's fault. The girl that Prince Qi proposed to marry was originally from our Chen family, but why did he insist on marrying that bitch Lu Wanning?"
The third girl also agreed, "That's right. They also said that Princess Qi was from the countryside and was rude and rough, so she must be difficult to get along with. But I see that Princess Qi likes her very much."
"As for Prince Qi, he doesn't seem to be as short-lived as the rumors say."
Madam Chen was nearly mad at him after hearing these words. She took several deep breaths before she recovered. "Princess Qi treats her well because Lu Wanning saved her on Yueshi Mountain that day. What about you? If you were allowed to marry into the family, would you be able to get along with Princess Qi?"
"Lu Wanning is a scheming, seductive woman with a mind full of tricks to seduce people. She was able to coax Princess Qi into a state of shock, so could you guys do the same?"
"I've been planning for you wholeheartedly, yet now you're all blaming me? If that's the case, why did you all hide when Prince Qi came to propose marriage that day?"
