Grudge Breaker

Chapter 323: One Thought, One Wound
-
After finally leaving Qin Xueying and leaving the Lord's Mansion, Song Weichen relaxed and felt like he was about to faint.

It was just one night, but it felt like half a lifetime.

Before she reached the place where the Soul-Receiving Boat was parked, she could no longer hold on. Her vision went dark and her steps inevitably staggered. Mo Tingfeng beside her noticed something was wrong, picked her up by the waist, and went back to the Lord's Mansion. At this moment, Zhuang Yuheng was still in the mansion taking care of Ji Baishou, so it would be more reassuring to have him take a look.

"Let's go find Yuheng."

"I'm fine, just tired."

Song Weichen would rather die than return to the Lord's Mansion. In order to achieve her goal, she forced herself to open her eyes and smiled at him.
"Husband, take me home."

The word "husband" melted Mo Tingfeng's heart. There was no personal will left. Song Weichen's words were like an imperial decree.

At this moment, there were still a few guests around them who had left the banquet and were also walking towards the post station where the flying chariot was parked. Seeing the two people's "intimate behavior" without any scruples, a woman walking nearby showed contempt and blocked the eyes of her little daughter who was looking at them with curiosity.

"Don't look."

"Mother, is she the vixen you were talking about?"

Children speak without restraint and their voices are clear and pleasant to the ears.

The woman panicked and quickly covered the child's mouth and said "hush". Seeing Mo Tingfeng pause, she was so scared that she bowed repeatedly.

"I am young and ignorant and offended, please forgive me, Lord Si Chen!"

"I wish you and the lady a deep and loving relationship, and a happy and harmonious life!"

……

It was obvious that Mo Tingfeng's cheeks were tense. Song Weichen didn't want to care about it, so he gently pinched his sleeve and signaled him to leave. However, he was not moved at all - these frivolous words were directed at Song Weichen, how could he bear it.

Mo Tingfeng held Song Weichen in his arms without moving, and looked at the woman with disdain.
"Listen carefully. No matter which family you belong to, you should be punished severely for slandering the future mistress of Sichen Mansion and disparaging the Madam in charge of imperial edicts! Considering your child is young, I will not pursue the matter. If you do it again, you will never be able to return to the world of sleep in this life."

He seldom takes things too seriously. This time he is just giving someone a taste of his own medicine.

The woman was stunned, her expression was out of control and her mouth was wide open. Did she hear it wrongly? It was impossible. The Lord of the Territory said it sincerely at the banquet, and the Princess also deliberately tried to be close to him and protect him. How could it be false?

The woman looked at Mo Tingfeng and then at Song Weichen. If this vixen is the lady, then what is Qin Xueying? As the mistress of a mansion, if she is punished for even talking about a concubine, is there still law?

"She's not the real lady, this is a bit of an exaggeration..."

"Snapped!!"

"Ouch!"

The woman was slapped by Cao Zhangyou, who was in charge of the granary in Meijie and came rushing over. She lost her balance and fell to the ground, but no one dared to help her. It seemed that it was his wife.

Seeing her husband so furious, the woman covered her cheeks and dared not say a word. The little daughter beside her was so scared that she just opened her mouth to cry, but was quickly carried away by the wet nurse.

Being the "head of the temple" was an easy and lucrative job, with many people fawning on her, no wonder she was so confident - it was she who had just been gossiping with another woman at the side table.

"What a tactless person!"

Cao Zhangyu bowed to Mo Tingfeng, not daring to look up. He cursed the woman in his heart for bringing disaster upon himself. Why did he offend this living Bodhisattva when he could offend anyone else?

"A foolish woman who lives in seclusion and rarely goes out has a short-sighted and ignorant outlook. Your Excellency should not be bothered by her."

"Madam Si Chen seems to be feeling unwell? If you don't mind, I know a famous doctor from the immortal family. I would like to invite him to take a look."

"No need."

"If you have the time, you might as well take a good look at your wife's eyes."

Mo Tingfeng said this coldly and walked away holding Song Weichen.
.
"You're so angry."

Song Weichen was half leaning on the soft cushion of Zai Po Zhou, covered with Mo Tingfeng's cloak.

Even though they had already flown out of the airspace of the Territory Lord's Mansion, seeing that he was still frowning and staring into the darkness without saying a word, she decided to tease him.

"Lord Si Chen has great authority."

"That's good now. Thanks to you, my character of a jealous female demon has become more three-dimensional."

Mo Tingfeng didn't respond. In his mind, he was carefully recalling everything that had happened since he returned to the palace tonight. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Firstly, no matter how eager the lord of the territory is, he should not announce the good news when the groom is not present.

Secondly, Song Weichen had obviously cried quietly. Didn’t he understand her? This was how the little girl looked when she was wronged and didn’t want him to know.

Third, what did Gu Cangyue mean by that sentence before he left? At the time, I just thought he was being sour, but now that I think about it, it seems to have other meanings.

Fourthly, the most suspicious thing is what the wife of Cao Zhangyu said. What does she mean by "she is not the real lady"?
… “Weiwei, are you hiding something from me?”

"What did the Territory Lord say about marriage?"

Mo Tingfeng returned to sit next to Song Weichen, his eyes as bright as stars - this marriage was definitely not that simple. He was probably so overwhelmed with joy just now that he was completely unaware of so many doubts. It was really like the darkest place under the lamp.

"I……"

The sudden questioning left Song Weichen at a loss. How could she tell the story?
The key point is why she should lie about this arranged marriage farce? She is the victim, okay!
"I can't remember clearly. The territory master gave me some wine, and I was so drunk that I was confused. I don't remember it clearly."

She shrank into her cloak, holding her aching stomach, with only a pair of innocent eyes showing.

Rationally, Song Weichen should help to continue to cover up the lie, but emotionally, she just wants to squat on the ground and draw circles to curse the territory master Lao Deng and that high-end green tea girl - it's really like "a flower-backed toad biting the foot", which is both poisonous and disgusting.

But what can she do?

In the Mei Realm, he has no family background, no fighting ability, and even having a good body to live a few more years has become a luxury. If it were to be exposed at the banquet and Mo Tingfeng and the territory master turned against each other in court, it would be a complete disaster for Bingtuozi.

Even if she couldn't help him, she couldn't harm him.

Just thinking about this, my heart started to ache.

……

"Can't remember?"

Song Weichen's reaction made Mo Tingfeng even more suspicious. He pinched his fingers and cast a spell, moving closer to her eyes.
"lady."

In Mo Tingfeng's eyes, Song Weichen was now his legitimate wife, so he could certainly satisfy his desire to talk about her; but from Song Weichen's perspective, this title became a poisonous thorn that pierced her already wounded heart.

"In this case, please lend me your eyes so I can see for myself."

He was referring to the Divine Concentration Technique. Realizing what he was trying to do, Song Weichen jumped up and hid away, extremely panicked, and covered his eyes tightly.

"don't want!!"

Fearing that Mo Tingfeng would take it by force, Song Weichen quickly ran to the stern of the Zai Po boat to distance herself from him. Because of these few steps, her blood boiled and she was breathing heavily. She was already at the end of her strength.

If he really borrowed my eyes, all my scars would be exposed tonight——

Gu Cangyue had injured her severely many times. If it hadn't been for that last bit of mercy, one of her arms would have been crippled by now.
The pretentious Lord took the opportunity to touch her hand several times, saying the most high-sounding words, but his behavior was despicable;
And Qin Xueying, during the brief moment when Mo Tingfeng visited Ji Baishou, pushed Song Weichen into the abyss with every word she said.

"I smell the scent of death on you. You know better than anyone that you won't live long. Whether you want Brother Feng to die for you, or live out your life in depression, or have many children and grandchildren, it all depends on your decision."

……

Just thinking about every single thing made her heart ache so much that she felt like she was suffocating. How could she bear to let him see it?

"slight……"

Mo Tingfeng walked towards Song Weichen cautiously. Her reaction had already made him guess 70% of the answer. As expected, the so-called arranged marriage tonight was a fraud. The person who tied the bell must be found to untie it. He decided to find Qin Xueying and the territory master as soon as possible to ask them face to face.

"Don't come over here! I won't lend it to you!"

Song Weichen panicked, turned his back and curled up into a small ball at the stern of the boat.
"Gu Cangyue and I did something shameful behind your back, you wouldn't want to see it!"

In a hurry, I spoke without thinking.

"I even flirted with the territory master... flirted with the territory master, hoping to take the opportunity to climb up the social ladder."

"I, I still..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A fishy-sweet smell filled his throat, and he started coughing uncontrollably, subconsciously reaching for the medicine bottle on his body.

"slight!"

Mo Tingfeng saw that she was not feeling well, so he took two or three steps with his long legs and came to her side. He knelt on one knee and held the little girl in his arms.

"No... I won't lend it to you..."

Song Weichen thought that he still wanted to use the Divine Concentration Technique through her eyes, so she struggled desperately. The medicine bottle rolled down during the shoving, and the pills spilled all over the floor.

"I won't lend it to you. I won't lend it to you. Don't do this, Weiwei!"

"puff!"

The mark of the previous life attacked fiercely again. Song Weichen was in great pain and couldn't help spitting out a large mouthful of blood, which splashed all over the wall of the boat's stern - just like when Sang Pu was imprisoned in the cramped attic in the backyard of the prince's mansion, and in the last moments of his life, he spurted blood on the kite that was scratched on the wall with a hairpin.
