Chapter 128 Essence
"You don't deserve to know."
The man in black leaned leisurely on the back of the chair, his black robe loosely covering his tall body, his face was covered by a silver mask, revealing lips that were redder than blood.
Even though the man in black did not show his face, the aura around him was like a dense woven net that enveloped Wei Jing. She wanted to break free, but she couldn't help but tremble from the bottom of her heart.
After a long while, Wei Jing finally calmed down and asked, "You visited the Wei Mansion at night. Was it for money or sex?"
The man in black curled his lips with interest, narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically: "I am not short of money, as for sex, do you have it?"
As he spoke, the man in black seemed to float up from the chair. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Wei Jing, grabbed her neck, and said in a cold tone: "With your tattered body?"
"Let go, let me go..."
Wei Jing struggled desperately and fell to the ground in a mess. Her throat was strangled, her face had turned blue and purple, and her eyes were empty and numb, without any life.
There was dead silence in the room.
After a while, before Wei Jing was about to faint, the man in black finally let go of her hand.
“Ahem!”
Wei Jing breathed greedily, hiding in the corner, with fear in her eyes.
She had been captured by a barbarian before, and as long as she satisfied his demands, Wei Jing had not suffered any injustice except for her chastity being at risk.
But the man in black in front of him was like a devil from hell, far more terrifying than a barbarian!
Wei Jing didn't dare to act rashly, fearing to anger the man in black again, so she lowered her brows calmly.
After half a quarter of an hour, the man in black finally stood up and walked to the window, saying with a hint of certainty: "You have good qualifications."
It is rare to be ruthless and know the times.
It only needs a little cultivation to be of great use.
"Miss Wei, do you have any requests in your heart? As long as you surrender to me, I can satisfy your small request."
The man in black plucked a night-blooming cereus from the windowsill, played with it in his hands, and spoke with a hint of laziness.
Wei Jing looked hesitant and asked, "Any request is OK?"
The man in black paused and said, "As long as you dare to ask."
"I want to marry Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao must belong to me. Jiang Yuzhu and the Jiang family, the Jiang family's lackeys, all die!"
Wei Jing screamed with red eyes. Ever since the birthday banquet at the Wei Mansion, she had been defeated time and time again and had always been controlled by Jiang Yuzhu.
Wei Jing is the most talented woman in Beijing, and she refuses to accept it!
Why did her good reputation disappear, while Jiang Yuzhu, a fickle and despicable person, took the opportunity to clear herself?
"If you have this ability, I am willing to surrender."
Wei Jing had already realized that the man in black was extraordinary and became much calmer.
Hei Yuren sneered: "Wei Jing, in the end you still failed to impress me. Your vision is too narrow."
To submit to him and be his dog is bound to cost a lot.
After all the effort, all she wanted was a man.
In this regard, Wei Jing will never be able to compare with Jiang Yuzhu because her obsession is too deep.
Being belittled, Wei Jing touched the corner of her eyes with her handkerchief: "You don't understand, that's because no woman has ever treated you like this."
The man in black dares not show his face and lives in darkness forever.
You're just a sneaky villain, but you think you're so great?
Because the man in black had a changeable, moody and irritable temperament, Wei Jing didn't dare to say these words.
"From the first day I saw Xie Zhao, I told myself that I must marry him. Only his talent and knowledge are worthy of me."
Xie Zhao was granted marriage, so what? For so many years, Wei Jing had been waiting and never gave up.
"Then how can I be sure that if I follow your instructions, Xie Zhao will belong to me?"
Wei Jing reacts very quickly and is not easy to fool.
The man in black slightly curled his lips, lifted Wei Jing's chin with one hand and said, "You have no other choice. I want to crush you to death, as easy as crushing an ant."
What the two of them were going to do was not a transaction, but his unilateral charity.
"Do you think Xie Zhao is someone out of reach?"
Through the mask, the man in black had a dark look in his eyes, and he sucked Wei Jing into a black vortex.
It took Wei Jing a long while to react and she knelt down unconsciously.
Before leaving, the man in black smiled faintly. That smile was extremely strange, and it suddenly brought a chill into the room: "Wei Jing, you will get married next, and your husband is the new number one scholar Feng Qing."
Getting married is the first step, and the tasks follow.
The man in black left quickly, and Wei Jing became confused again.
She sat on the bed with her hands on her knees, her body slightly curled up, and big tears rolled down her face.
After a moment, Wei Jing gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She had already done so much and there was no turning back.
The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Qiqiao Festival.
Jiang Yuzhu got up early and asked the kitchen to prepare her best pumpkin and coconut cake to give to her good sisters.
Hongli came in with a food box and said with a smile, "Madam, my cousin sent you the most authentic sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Jiangnan."
I heard that someone from the Lu family came to the capital, and because they were afraid that they might not be able to get used to the food there, they brought the cook back with them.
"Would you like to try a piece?"
Hongli has already opened it and seen that each piece of osmanthus cake is adorned with a dried osmanthus flower. It is very delicate and the level of the cake is comparable to that of the imperial chefs in the palace.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at it and said with a lack of interest: "I don't want to eat it."
Hongli felt somewhat regretful and reminded him, "Although it's a bit unkind of your cousin to come back and bother you after he disappeared for a few years, he blocked a knife for you in the Huguo Temple, so you can't just ignore it."
Hongli thought carefully and realized that her wife had sent her some supplements once or twice but she didn't even look at them. This was not the right attitude to show respect to a lifesaver.
Jiang Yuzhu put down the account book and said with disdain: "Hongli, don't sympathize with the wrong person."
"First of all, your wife asked Lu Yunxi to meet at Huguo Temple to resolve the dispute between me and him, is that right or not?"
If it weren't for Lu Yunxi, Jiang Yuzhu would definitely not have wandered into the bamboo forest late at night, and would not have suffered an unexpected disaster.
Hongli nodded hesitantly: "Yes."
Jiang Yuzhu added: "There was an assassin at the time, and I was too scared to hide behind my cousin. It wasn't that he took the initiative to block the knife for me. There is a big difference between being active and being passive."
Hongli touched his chin and said, "So, my cousin is not your savior. He is the one who suffered the consequences."
“That’s right!”
Jiang Yuzhu was very satisfied and continued to defend herself, "Besides, how can you be sure that those assassins have nothing to do with Lu Yunxi? Maybe he was the one who caused the trouble!"
"I really can't be sure. If the assassin wants to kill Lu Yunxi, you are the innocent one who is implicated!"
Hongli was successfully brainwashed by Jiang Yuzhu, and she no longer bothered to call him "cousin" and just called him by his real name.
Now the master and the mistress are on good terms, but Lu Yunxi comes out again to make trouble. What a mean person!
Hongli looked down at the osmanthus cake again, showing a hint of vigilance: "Madam, we can't easily accept this food. What if Lu Yunxi can't get it and becomes resentful and poisons you!"
Osmanthus cake cannot be eaten anymore, we must be on guard against it.
"That's easy, feed the koi!"
Hongfeng suggested that at worst the fish would be poisoned and die.
Hongli immediately protested: "No, the Second Young Master has already harmed several Huanghuangs, I can't afford any losses!"
Hong Jin took it and said nonchalantly, "At present, the two families have not yet reached the point of tearing each other apart. The osmanthus cake should be non-toxic. Why not give it to Liang An?"
Liang An has been acting as a spy recently and has done his job absolutely conscientiously, so he should be given some appropriate benefits.
When Hongli and Hongfeng heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement and said in unison, "Tell Liang An that we couldn't bear to eat this so we saved it for him!"
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
Before she knew it, her essence was learned by her maidservants.
