After picking up the White Cut Black Prince
Chapter 25 Chapter 25
Wen Chu first went to the town to buy some food, then exchanged the silver notes for some loose silver, and finally got on Zhao Er's ox cart and went back to Aunt Yang's house.
She found Aunt Yang and gave her ten taels of silver. Aunt Yang was frightened by Wen Chu's action and asked hurriedly: "What are you doing? Where did you get so much money?!"
Wen Chu saw that she was about to refuse, so she put the lunch box on the ground and stuffed the money into her arms. She said, "Oh! Auntie, please take it. This is what I earn from fortune-telling. It's not a big deal! You know, I tell fortunes accurately and my business is very good. When I was in town today, I thought about what you said this morning. This man might be a disaster. I'm leaving and I might not come back. Auntie takes care of me, so I have to be nice to her."
Aunt Yang didn't react. It was too sudden. He was fine in the morning. How could he leave so suddenly? She was stunned for a moment, but Wen Chu took advantage of this opportunity and ran out with the lunch box, saying, "Don't tell Wenwen, otherwise she will cry."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Later, when Wen Chu left Aunt Yang's place, he went to see Doctor Zhao again, and still asked for ten taels.
She went to Chunhui Hall. It was evening now and there were not many people inside. Only Doctor Zhao was still sitting in the hall, while the others were sitting in groups of three or four somewhere else.
Wen Chu rushed to Doctor Zhao and talked to him for a long time. Then, when he was not paying attention, he quietly hid the silver on the table and covered it with something. If he gave it to him in person, he would definitely not accept it.
Before leaving, Wen Chu asked, "Grandpa, I haven't been sleeping well recently. Is there any medicine that can help me sleep more soundly?"
If she was leaving tonight, she should give Song Yusheng some medicine to take, otherwise the noise from packing up would be very loud, and it would be bad if she woke people up.
After she came out from Doctor Zhao's place, she opened the lunch box on a deserted road and put the medicine into Song Yusheng's meal. She didn't dare put too much in the rice, for fear that Song Yusheng would taste something wrong, so she put some in the dishes. She also specially left two dishes for herself without putting the medicine in them, otherwise she couldn't just eat the meal, that would be too dry.
After finishing this task, Wen Chu felt that everything was safe and went home humming a little tune.
It’s great that I don’t have to worry about my livelihood anymore and I can leave this place.
Let’s go to Jiangnan and take a look. Father Wen said that Jiangnan is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people.
*
Dong Yue followed Wen Chu and watched her go to Aunt Yang's house, then to Chunhui Hall, and of course saw her put drugs in the dishes. While Wen Chu was wandering slowly on the road, he quickly ran back to find Song Yusheng.
Song Yusheng sat at the small table in the room, which was the table where they usually had their meals.
Now he was holding a cup in his hand, but he was just playing with it. Sitting opposite him was Chunfeng. Chunfeng said, "Yesterday I checked the household registration of that little Taoist priest and found that she was from Baishan Town and had never lived anywhere else before. There was no registration of her in the book of Yunjing Town."
At the beginning, Father Wen was afraid that someone would check the household registration, so he paid money to bribe the person who did the household registration and moved the people here directly. No one knew that they had been in Yunjing Town. In this way, even if you want to check, it will take some effort.
Song Yusheng had no reaction to this, only two words, "Check again."
Household registration is too easy to manipulate, especially in the countryside. It can be faked with just a little money. What's so good about it? Since Song Yusheng was suspicious, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Chunfeng received the order, stood up and walked out, and happened to run into Dongyue running in hurriedly from outside, and the two almost bumped into each other.
Chun Feng asked unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Dongyue didn't have time to talk to Chunfeng, and had already run to Song Yusheng, "Crazy, Master, that little Taoist priest is crazy!!"
Song Yusheng frowned, "What are you talking about? Speak clearly."
Dong Yue said quickly, "That little Taoist priest...she sold out her master! Today, the son of the provincial governor's family came to the little Taoist priest, and then somehow said that he wanted to buy the master's favor for five hundred taels. Basically, he said that as long as the little Taoist priest was willing to give her master to their Lin family, it would be fine. She also put drugs in today's food."
Dong Yue watched as Song Yusheng's face became increasingly gloomy and his voice became increasingly quiet, until by the end his voice was barely as loud as a mosquito's.
Selling favor, five hundred taels, drugging.
Selling favors, isn't that selling people? Just for five hundred taels, she sold him to the Lin family. If the Lin family wanted his life, she would send him to death, right?
In the evening, the house was unusually quiet, or perhaps because it was about to rain, the cicadas outside the house were chirping loudly, which was a bit harsh. Amid the deafening noise, Dongyue heard a crisp sound as soon as she finished speaking.
The two looked in the direction of Song Yusheng and saw that he had crushed the teacup in his hand.
Song Yusheng's bright and clear face was full of sinisterness, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but this smile looked a little cruel.
She had agreed to go back to Beijing with him, so how could she dare to sell him out to someone else for just five hundred taels? Ha, is there anyone like her?
No matter how Wen Chu lied to him in the past, he had never been as angry as he was now.
But this time Song Yusheng was so angry that he couldn't even bear it.
Song Yusheng's face looked terribly gloomy. Chunfeng and Dongyue had followed Song Yusheng for a long time, but they had never seen him like this. He never showed his emotions on his face, and no matter what happened, his face showed no expression.
It seems that he must be very angry.
*
After the two left the house, Wen Chu arrived home soon. The broken porcelain pieces on the floor had been cleaned up. When Song Yusheng saw Wen Chu coming back, he sat on the chair and called out as usual, "Mother Chu, you're back."
He had calmed down, but when he saw Wen Chu walk into the room with a smile on his face, his big palm clenched unconsciously.
If she sold him, she could be happy like this.
It was already dark outside. As soon as Wen Chu entered the house, raindrops began to fall outside, and a smell of dust immediately filled the air.
Wen Chu was so happy that she smiled unconsciously. The girl's snow-white cheeks were faintly pink under the oil lamp. She put the lunch box on the table and took off the Taoist robe she was wearing while responding to Song Yusheng's words.
It's almost summer and the weather is already getting a bit hot.
She glanced at the rain outside, and the smile on her face faded visibly. The weather was not good, and it seemed that they would have to travel in the rain.
The change in her facial expression was noticed by Song Yusheng without a trace. He almost wanted to sneer, but he suppressed it.
Wen Chu took off his outer robe and sat down at the table, taking out the dishes from the food box and arranging them. Although they had their own thoughts, they had lived together for two months, and today's meal was considered a farewell dinner, so they should have something good.
She quickly arranged the dishes and finally handed the rice to Song Yusheng.
Song Yusheng took the meal, looked at the table full of dishes and suddenly said, "What happened to Chu Niang today? Why did you buy so many dishes to bring home?"
Wen Chu made up an excuse and said, "Well, it's because I met a wealthy customer today and made a lot of money. You should eat more."
When Song Yusheng heard this, he chuckled, but said nothing more. He just ate his meal bit by bit.
Wen Chu saw that he seemed to have no appetite, and thought that if he ate too little, he would not be able to sleep soundly soon.
Thinking of this, he put a lot of dishes into his bowl and said, "There are so many dishes, bring some. It will be a waste if you can't finish them."
She didn't even know that her behavior was strange. She used to only care about her own food and never picked up food for him. Song Yusheng had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Even if his mother picked up food for him at home, he would put down his chopsticks. But in this place, even if he wanted to be particular, he couldn't.
Looking at the food that was almost piled up into a small mountain in the bowl, he finally picked up his chopsticks and finished eating them.
He really wanted to see what kind of medicine Wen Chu had given him and what he was thinking.
Song Yusheng didn't have the habit of talking while eating. In the past, when they sat together to eat, Wen Chu would often talk about what happened that day. But today, perhaps because she had something on her mind, she was much quieter and didn't even say a word.
The two of them had a very quiet meal, and not long after the meal, Song Yusheng felt a little heavy in the head.
It was originally a sleeping pill.
He went outside and vomited all the food he had eaten today, then returned to his room and lay down on the bed. Seeing his actions, Wen Chu thought the medicine was taking effect.
Wen Chu pretended to be casual while cleaning up the dishes, but in fact he was just waiting for Song Yusheng to close his eyes before running away.
Finally, just as Song Yusheng was about to close his eyes, he suddenly asked, "Mother Chu, you asked me not to abandon you that day, but what about you? Will you abandon me?"
The rain outside started to fall heavier and heavier, and even Song Yusheng's voice had a chilly tone.
Will you abandon him?
After Wen Chu picked him up from under the big banyan tree, she never thought of abandoning him. Even if she was at risk of being arrested and taken to the government, she never thought of severing her relationship with him. Of course, all of this was because he was the eldest son of the Song family, and Wen Chu wanted to blackmail him to repay her kindness.
If it were in the past, Wen Chu would certainly be reluctant to abandon the God of Wealth, but now, she has already accepted five hundred taels, and she has nothing to do with Song Yusheng anymore.
The house fell into silence for a while, making the sound of rain outside seem clearer.
Wen Chu turned his back to him and said, "Since you are sleepy, go to bed first. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
With such evasion, the answer is already clear.
Song Yusheng looked at Wen Chu deeply, and finally closed his eyes.
Wen Chu saw that Song Yusheng finally stopped making any noise, and after waiting for a while, she put down her things and began to pack her luggage. She didn't have much stuff to begin with, so she took a few clothes and didn't have much else to bring. She didn't have a pass for the time being, so she went to hide somewhere else for a while, and when Song Yusheng left, she could quietly come back to get a pass to go south, and it would still be in time.
She packed her bag and stood in front of the bed where Song Yusheng lay, mumbling softly, "You said you would repay me. I have been very good to you. You must not blame me for exchanging you for five hundred taels."
She felt that there was nothing wrong with what she did. Didn't Song Yusheng promise to repay her? She just sold her favor to Lin Sujian.
Besides, I am his savior after all. Isn’t the prince’s life worth five hundred taels?
Thinking this way, she felt no guilt at all. She treated him so well, he shouldn't bother with these trivial matters.
Song Yusheng lay on the bed and listened to Wen Chu's whispers word for word. He had suffered with her for more than two months, and she was brave enough to sell him just like that.
She was good to him? But it was a pity that Song Yusheng only remembered other people's betrayal.
After Wen Chu left, Song Yusheng stood up. He opened the door, and Chunfeng, Dongyue and a group of secret guards immediately appeared from the dark.
Song Yusheng's eyes darkened slightly. Because he had just vomited, his voice was still a little hoarse. "Go follow her."
He wants to run away after selling it? There is no such good thing in the world.
*
It was late at night and the rain was still falling. Wen Chu was walking on the path holding an umbrella. She planned to hide in another town tonight. Although it was dark now, it was only the evening hour. She had to leave here before the curfew.
At this time, because of the rain, there were not many people on the road. She first went to a carriage rental place in the town and hired a carriage to go to the next town.
After getting on the carriage, everything finally settled down. However, even after finally quieting down, Wen Chu felt inexplicably nervous.
It went so smoothly that she was a little scared.
From the time she sold Song Yusheng, to the time she got the banknotes from Lin Sujian, to the time she used drugs to knock Song Yusheng unconscious
Forget it, she shook her head. What could happen? Song Yusheng is unconscious now.
Moreover, he shouldn't be such a vindictive person. It's just asking him to find someone else to repay. What's the big deal?
But, my heart was beating nervously and uneasy for no reason.
Suddenly, the driver outside tightened the reins and the carriage braked suddenly. Wen Chu almost fell down in the carriage because he didn't hold on firmly.
Her heart sank even more, and she quickly lifted the curtain and looked outside. In the rain, a group of people surrounded their carriage. Judging from their attire, they looked like servants of some family.
Wen Chu thought, could it be that Lin Sujian was worried about his five hundred taels and sent people to rob him? Otherwise, who else would show up here in such a grand manner?
She couldn't help but curse a few times. How could there be such a person who goes back on his word?
She saw a tall man walking towards her among the crowd.
The rain was heavy and the night was pitch black, so she couldn't see who that person was.
It was not until he finally walked in front of Wen Chu's carriage that she finally recognized him.
It was indeed Lin Sujian.
When Wen Chu saw that it was him, his heart finally settled down.
The money and goods have been paid, what does he want to do? !
Lin Sujian was standing outside the carriage holding an umbrella, when Wen Chu asked, "Mr. Lin, what does this mean?"
Lin Sujian laughed with an ambiguous tone, and said, "Aren't you going to another town? Take my carriage, otherwise the curfew will start soon, and you will be stopped if you can't make it."
Wen Chu didn't know why. During the day when they were doing business, Lin Sujian looked quite normal, but tonight she felt very different. She leaned against the car window, her face wet with rain. It was such a dark day, but her eyes were still bright. She was wearing the simplest clothes, but it couldn't hide her beautiful face.
Wen Chu also tried to discuss it with Lin Sujian. She said, "Mr. Lin, there is no need to trouble you. You know, we are now in a state where the money and goods have been paid and we owe each other nothing. Do you understand?"
Before Wen Chu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Sujian, "Wen Chu, I'm not discussing this with you."
Wen Chu looked at Lin Sujian's increasingly gloomy expression, clinging to the car window tightly and refusing to let go, "Mr. Lin, you can't go back on your words like this! I have never offended you before, and it wasn't me who offended you in the county government office that day. If you are still angry, just go find him. You know I have nothing to do with him now!"
Lin Sujian lost his patience and turned around to ask people to get on the carriage and take the person down.
Seeing how tough he was, Wen Chu could only get off the carriage reluctantly.
Chunfeng and Dongyue watched all this from the dark. Dongyue asked, "Oh, this is terrible! What should we do? Why did this little Taoist priest get on another man's carriage? Should we tell the master?"
The two looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. As far as history goes, those who betray their master will not have a good ending, let alone this little Taoist priest who dared to sell out his master. He deserves to be killed.
However, they always felt that the master treated this little Taoist priest differently. If something really happened, what would they do if the master took it out on them?
Chunfeng said first: "That seems to be the Lin family's carriage. I will go back and tell the master that you have spotted the person."
These top secret guards have extremely sharp eyesight and hearing. Even in such heavy rain and dark sky, they can still see their carriages clearly from a long distance.
Chunfeng is eight years older than Dongyue. Besides, all the secret guards are headed by him. Dongyue is still young, so he is the one who will handle any problems. Dongyue was relieved after hearing Chunfeng's words. He was about to respond when he turned around and saw that the person had disappeared.
These legs run too fast.
He was now hiding on a tree wearing a bamboo hat. After Chunfeng left, he was the only one left on the tree. He turned his head to look at Wen Chu, and saw that he had already boarded Lin Sujian's carriage.
Wen Chu got on the carriage and sat far away from Lin Sujian. She looked a little unhappy. She asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?"
She was not a fool, so she would not believe that Lin Sujian would really help her get to another place. Wen Chu had already guessed some of the reasons why Lin Sujian acted like this. Sure enough, he just said, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
Wen Chu was struck by lightning when she heard his words. She was so angry that her head was about to go dizzy. She asked, "What do you want me to understand? What do you want me to understand?"
She had finally solved the trouble with Song Yusheng and was going to be able to embrace her wonderful life in the future, but who knew that Lin Sujian would suddenly appear in the middle of the road? She got angry and didn't show any mercy to him.
When Lin Sujian saw Wen Chu like this, he suddenly stood up and pressed towards her. Wen Chu was almost scared crazy by his action and wanted to dodge, but Lin Sujian was tall and covered her, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
The rain kept falling outside the car window. Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the sky. In the blink of an eye, a roar came from the sky, and the rain fell on the earth like thousands of silver threads.
Wen Chu tried to escape in fear, but was grabbed by Lin Sujian's shoulders. She frowned in pain and shouted, "Are you crazy? Are you going to force me?!"
Wen Chu didn't know how she ended up with this person. Was he crazy? Why didn't she notice it before?
Lin Sujian said in a low voice: "Why? You are willing to pick up a wild man and take him home, why can't you be with me? Don't you want money? If you follow me, I guarantee that you will be comfortable and you won't have to show up every day and tell fortunes on the street." Lin Sujian didn't expect to be rejected like this. From childhood to adulthood, as long as he liked someone, he would use both soft and hard methods, and no one could escape from his palm. Why should Wen Chu refuse? Her behavior today reminded him of the time at the county government office, when she also rejected him and followed that man.
Thinking of this, Lin Sujian became even angrier.
The lightning flashed across the sky, making the man in front of him look extremely terrifying, and his handsome face looked like a demon.
Wen Chu finally understood that this person had no good intentions from the beginning. What he said about buying favors was all nonsense.
Seeing him like this, Wen Chu was afraid that he would go crazy soon, so he softened his voice and said, "That's not what I meant, Master Lin, please listen to me. I just think it's too sudden. You were fine before, and I didn't know you had such thoughts."
His attitude was so obvious before, but Wen Chu still couldn't see it. Was he lying to him? However, she thought again, maybe she had never met any men before, and she was just an orphan who depended on her grandfather for life. Maybe this statement was somewhat credible.
He asked suspiciously, "Can't you see?"
Wen Chu nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that she had softened and her anger was not as strong as before, Lin Sujian asked, "So what have you seen now?"
Wen Chu knew that everyone around her was Lin Sujian's people, and she couldn't confront him head-on. These people were unreasonable, and if she made him angry, who knows what they would do.
She said, "If you say so, I naturally dare not refuse, but I gave that man to your family without saying a word. I am afraid that he will come to seek revenge, so I am in a hurry to leave. Why don't you let me go first?"
Lin Sujian looked at her for a long time, so long that Wen Chu felt guilty. After a long time, he said coldly: "Okay, since you are hiding from him, then go to my house. Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let you be discovered by him."
Wen Chu knew that she couldn't escape today and could only accept her fate. As long as Lin Sujian didn't touch her now, she could only deal with the future later.
*
Chunfeng went to the town to find a fast horse and rushed back to Wen Chu's home, and told Song Yusheng that Wen Chu had just been taken away.
When Song Yusheng heard that the person was taken away by Lin Sujian, his already bad expression became even uglier.
Song Yusheng said coldly, "You keep trying to kill yourself, you idiot."
Chunfeng was sweating profusely when he heard what Song Yusheng said. It's over. He acted on his own this time. Listening to what the master said, it's unlikely that he would save the little Taoist priest. He also asked Dongyue to watch over there. If Dongyue offended the son of the censor for the little Taoist priest, he would probably be punished again.
Just as he was about to kneel down and apologize, he heard Song Yusheng say, "Okay, since Lin Ping's son is not sleeping in the middle of the night to arrest people, then he should not sleep either. Prepare the horses and go to the Lin Mansion."
Chunfeng felt that he was the most stable among the four secret guards, but he was still stunned for a moment by Song Yusheng's words.
Wasn't he still calling someone an idiot just a second ago? How come he said he wanted to go to the Lin Residence in the blink of an eye?!
Could it be that he was distracted just now and missed something?
When he was puzzled, Song Yusheng looked up at him and said coldly, "What are you still standing there for?"
Chunfeng came to his senses and did not dare to delay any longer, so he went out quickly to prepare for everything.
*
Wen Chu had been taken back to the Lin Mansion by Lin Sujian.
Wen Chu was on guard all the way, which made Lin Sujian feel irritated. He took the man back to his yard. Wen Chu was so scared that she turned around and wanted to run, but she was blocked by another wall of people.
Lin Sujian turned around and told the maid, "Take her in to wash and change her clothes."
Wen Chu didn't expect Lin Sujian to be so crazy. She was shocked and said, "You don't have to be so anxious. Why can't you let me wait for a few days?"
Lin Sujian looked at her and said, "You have so many thoughts in your head. I don't like unexpected things. It's better to get it over with as soon as possible." He looked at Wen Chu, whose face turned red with anger, and a different feeling arose in his heart. In the past, others always went along with him, but this was the first time he encountered someone like her. It was indeed interesting.
Lin Sujian reminded him, "I'll give you an hour outside. It would be best if you can figure it out. If you can't, you will be the one who suffers."
After saying that, he winked at the maid, indicating that she should be taken to cleanse herself. He no longer paid attention to Wen Chu's shameful and angry look, and left the place leisurely.
"Lin Sujian!! You are a despicable and shameless villain!!"
Wen Chu finally couldn't help but curse, but Lin Sujian didn't even turn his head.
She was taken to the clean room by a maid, and a group of people were guarding outside. Two maids held her down and started to take off her outer clothes. Wen Chu was so angry that she pushed them away.
The maids also had jobs to do, and they had to do what Lin Sujian told them to do. One of them advised, "Young lady, you'd better be obedient and take off your clothes, otherwise after an hour, the young master will do it himself, and then you will be the one who will bear the blame."
Wen Chu knew that what the maid said was true, and Lin Sujian could really do it.
The two maids saw the change in her expression and quickly stepped forward to take off her clothes. This time she really did not resist.
Wen Chu never thought that the incident would happen here. There were Lin Sujian's people outside. How could she escape? Perhaps, she really shouldn't have sold Song Yusheng. A feeling of helplessness and regret was about to swallow her up. She could only let the two maids wash her body.
Half an hour later, Wen Chu washed the two maids' heads from head to toe in the clean room and put on the clothes they brought.
When Wen Chu came in just now, the maid was still wondering why their master would fall in love with a village woman who was dressed worse than them. Even if she was beautiful, she was too vulgar.
However, after they changed their clothes, there was a look of amazement in their eyes.
Her fair face was delicate and small, and beneath her willow-shaped eyebrows were a pair of bright almond eyes. Because of the steam from the bath, her skin was slightly pink, and her lips, even without lipstick, were still delicate and charming. She took off her coarse clothes and put on a water-red gown. Such a bright dress did not look tacky on her. Her seaweed-like hair spread behind her, and her every move was breathtaking.
Wen Chu's mother, Concubine De, was a famous beauty in Dazhao. Later, along with her beauty, she was also called the enchanting concubine. Everyone said that Concubine De was so beautiful that she attracted the emperor's attention.
Wenchu Chengdefei's appearance was better than Concubine De's. Since Emperor Linghui was also one of the most handsome men, considering the two, her appearance was even better than Concubine De's.
The two maids came back to their senses from their astonishment and did not dare to waste any more time, and quickly took the person to the inner room.
As soon as the maid sent the person there, she quickly retreated and locked the door from the outside.
Lin Sujian also went to clean himself just now, but he was quick and after he finished, he sat on the chair waiting for her.
After seeing that she had changed her clothes, Lin Sujian's eyes showed even stronger emotions. If he had been restrained just now, now he couldn't even hide it.
He was right.
When Wen Chu first met, she and Zhang Chenghu went to her to have their fortune told. At that time, he knew that Wen Chu was very good-looking. Otherwise, why would he be so idle as to send her home? Later, he approached her again and again. What else could it be for?
He had been patient enough to do this, and if she didn't want to, he would have to force her.
After all, he just wanted to get her. The means were different, but as long as he achieved his goal, it would be enough.
Thinking of this, Lin Sujian stood up and walked towards Wen Chu. She was startled and quickly stepped back, but there was a door behind her, so where could she retreat to?
She shouted to stop him, "Stop! Stop! Didn't we agree on an hour? Where are we now?"
Seeing how scared she was, Lin Sujian stopped approaching. After all, she was already in the room, so why wait another half an hour? He pointed at the hourglass on the table and said, "Half an hour, when the hourglass runs out, I won't care whether you are willing or not."
Wen Chu was so angry at his behavior that her back teeth were about to break. She was still trying to discuss things with Lin Sujian, chattering non-stop. Seeing that she was tired of talking, Lin Sujian poured her a glass of water from the table.
Wen Chu was about to take it, but thinking that Lin Sujian might put something unclean in the tea, he waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty, so I won't drink it."
Seeing how defensive she was, Lin Sujian stopped insisting. Seeing that the hourglass was almost empty, he reminded her, "Time is almost up. I advise you not to say anything."
Wen Chu felt very depressed when he saw that Lin Sujian just couldn't convince him no matter what he said.
*
Song Yusheng had already changed into the clothes brought by Chunfeng. Since Wen Chu had run away, there was no need for him to pretend anymore.
He was wearing a white round-necked brocade robe, with a fine jade pendant hanging around his waist. He had an extraordinary temperament, and his eyes were cold and indifferent, as if he was a banished immortal in a painting.
The heavy rain came suddenly and went away suddenly. I don’t know when the heavy rain stopped. Only the wet ground and the strong smell of earth in the air showed that there had been a downpour.
The night watchman's gong sounded along with the sound of horse hooves, which was particularly clear at night. The horses stepped through the puddles, splashing waves of water. When Song Yusheng and his party arrived at the Lin Mansion, it was already past the third watch.
Dong Yue had already reunited with them and told Song Yusheng what he had seen. He said, "I saw the little Taoist priest get on the Lin family's carriage, and then he took them back to the Lin Mansion. I saw the little Taoist priest being taken into the house, and heard the man seem to say something like giving her an hour. I guess she hasn't met with any misfortune yet. But, it's almost time."
Song Yusheng laughed with an ambiguous meaning, but his eyes were cold. Wen Chu sold him out, so logically speaking, why would he care about her life or death?
Song Yusheng didn't know why he came here. Perhaps he thought that Wen Chu had betrayed him, and even if he wanted to punish her, he would be the one to do it.
This is a grudge between him and her, why would others want to interfere?
Song Yusheng turned to Chunfeng and said, "Knock on the door."
Chunfeng went forward and rang the door knocker. After a while, someone finally came to open the door. The doorman didn't expect someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night, so he cursed a few times. However, he was greeted by silence. After rubbing his half-closed eyes, he could see who was coming.
A dozen men in black surrounded a young man in white, and now they were all looking at him.
The young man in white in the crowd looked very impressive. I didn’t know which family he was from and why I had never seen him before.
The concierge was frightened by this scene and shuddered. "What does this mean? Who are you from?"
Even though he didn't know which family they were from, the doorman was sure that if he dared to act rashly, the man in black might have the sword on his neck in the next second.
Chunfeng took out the token of the Duke's Mansion and held it in front of the doorman, "The prince of the Duke's Mansion, requesting an audience."
The doorman almost thought he had heard it wrong and looked at the young man in white again.
Song Yusheng just stood there, with a smile on his face and a slender figure, but just like that, he looked more oppressive than those men in black next to him.
He was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Why would the prince of the Duke's Mansion come to their house? The doorman did not dare to delay and quickly ran into the house to call for help.
After a while, he ran to the residence of Censor Lin Ping.
The doorman quickly said to the attendant beside Lin Ping: "Quick! Tell the master! The prince of the Duke's Mansion wants to see you!"
The attendant was also startled by this and went into the house to tell the matter. Recently, Lin Ping was ordered by the Duke to help find the prince who was lost among the people, but he had no clue. Lin Ping couldn't find anyone and was very worried about this matter, but he didn't expect that the person would come to him on his own.
He thought of what his son said that day. Could it be that he really had found someone?
Lin Ping was so anxious that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He asked the doorman, "Where is the person?"
The concierge replied, "Still waiting at the door."
Lin Ping kicked him angrily, "Why didn't you welcome them in first? You asked them to wait there. Are you stupid?"
When Lin Ping was in Kyoto, he would go to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion to pay respect to his teacher. First, he was the student of the Prime Minister and he had to fulfill the friendship between master and apprentice. Second, it was because he could not get to where he is today without the support of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. If there was no Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, he, Lin Ping, would not be where he is today.
It is no exaggeration to say that his immediate superior was not the emperor, but the Duke's Mansion.
How dare this idiot leave the son of his boss hanging out at the door? !
The Lin family is a wealthy family in the local area. The entire Lin Mansion has five entrances and five exits. Lin Ping arrived at the door in less than a cup of tea.
When Song Yusheng saw the person coming, he bowed and said, "Mr. Neitai, long time no see."
When Lin Ping went to the Song Mansion before, he had met Song Yusheng several times, and he recognized him at the first sight. Lin Ping hurriedly stopped him and said, "My Lord, you are so embarrassed! It's all my servants' fault for not being tactful enough to invite you in."
Even though Lin Ping was a third-rank official, he still couldn't hold his head up in front of Song Yusheng. Not to mention his status as a prince, he was only 22 years old and already served as the Left Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. His future was limitless.
He really needs to praise this person.
Song Yusheng smiled and said, "What's the problem? It's not a big deal."
His every move was gentle and polite. Lin Ping couldn't help but recall that he was like this when he first saw him in the Duke's Mansion. However, Song Yusheng had been immersed in the center of power for many years after all. Even when he was smiling, people felt that he was inexplicably oppressive, so people didn't dare to act rashly.
Lin Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "A few days ago, the Duke wrote to me, saying that you were missing here and asked me to help find you. I didn't expect that the prince would come to my house in person. I just didn't know that the prince would suddenly come to my house in the middle of the night..."
Song Yusheng looked at Lin Ping and said, "Because your son kidnapped my savior."
Inside the room, the hourglass had almost run out and Lin Sujian’s patience had been exhausted.
He approached Wen Chu step by step, his eyes full of lust, and said, "It's been an hour, what do you think?"
Seeing that he was about to catch her, Wen Chu began to resist. However, even though she had some kung fu skills, they were completely useless in the face of absolute strength.
Wen Chu's hands were clamped tightly by him in a short time. Seeing that he was determined to do it, she was so anxious that she wanted to kneel down in front of him. She cried, "Don't be like this, let me go, please, from now on you will be my benefactor, I will definitely repay you well!"
Fear and despair invaded her brain, and she was already incoherent. The rain outside the house stopped at some point, and the sound came out of the door. At this moment, the whole yard could hear the woman's desperate cry.
Tears slid down her cheeks, making her eyes even more charming.
Lin Sujian was stunned for a moment when she saw Wen Chu crying like this. Wen Chu thought that he had come to his senses and turned back, so she cried even harder, hoping that he would find his conscience and let her go.
But who knew that Lin Sujian grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the bed, and then pushed her onto the bed.
Wen Chu's back hit the bed, and she felt pain, her brows furrowed. Tears filled her eyes, blurring her vision. Through her tearful eyes, she could only see Lin Sujian's mouth opening and closing, and the sound was like the devil's whisper entering her ears.
"Please stop crying. Tears are useless to men at this time."
After that, he started to rip off her top, and the long gown was roughly pulled open, revealing the bright red mandarin duck-shaped undershirt underneath. The maids knew that Lin Sujian was going to do something, so they specially picked out a set of clothes like this.
Wen Chu felt a chill on his shoulders. After being stunned for a moment, he cried even more sadly. The people in the yard couldn't help but sigh in their hearts after hearing it. Hey, just give in. If you give in, you will suffer less.
But at this moment, a large group of people came to the gate of the yard, and the leader was his own master.
"Master Neitai really has a good way of controlling his son."
Wen Chu's miserable cries continued and were heard by everyone present. Song Yusheng still had a smile on his face, but his tone was indescribably cold, and he almost gritted his teeth when he said this.
