Revenge of the Concubine’s Daughter - Chapter 110
Chapter 110 Vicious oath of no descendants
He Danggui suddenly found that she couldn’t move. She cried out anxiously in a low voice, “Relieve my acupoint! I will give you another benefit. You must be satisfied with it!”
Ning Yuan stroked the beautiful and lovely face gently with his long fingers, appreciating the frightened look showing on the face for the first time. It turned out that she would care about some things too. It turned out that her calmness was also a mask. It turned out that when she took off her mask, she would also show a panic expression. Ning Yuan was delighted and approached He Danggui. Suddenly, he stuck his tongue out and grimaced at the face without make-up. Matching with Lu Jiangbei’s face, Ning Yuan’s action gave He Danggui a strange feeling. He kissed at her small nose tip slightly and said happily, “Take it easy. I said that I only charged you a little interest today…”
“The soft spot of Geng Bingxiu, the material evidence of Lord Jin, Zhu Gang’s corruption and perversion of the law, and the 5 favorite words of the Emperor! You can choose one thing you want to know!”
Ning Yuan stopped and pushed her face away. After thinking for a while, he asked, “The soft spot of Geng Bingxiu… How do you know that? Why do you want to tell me?”
He Danggui said casually, “Our Qiyanggong Sect has a large congregation. We can inquire all things. You can use the precious ambergris, so I think you are also a celebrity who often meet the Emperor. He likes wearing crimson middle clothes and peach-pink inner gown, and before dinner, chewing the Longjing tea-leaves soaked 3 times. He usually eats the fillets of fresh fishes. We know all details of the life in the Imperial Palace! How much do you know about this?”
“What is the soft spot of Geng Bingxiu?” After surprise, Ning Yuan really believed her words, because everything the girl said was exactly true. And according to his knowledge, Qiyanggong Sect had such a high level of intelligence. If not for his identity, even Wuying Tower could not get such accurate information. This girl was really from Qiyanggong Sect!
“Childe Ning, is it your attitude towards trading?” He Danggui shouted seriously, “How dare you punish the beloved disciple of the Lord of Qi Yang? Hum, unless you kill me at once, I will pay 10 times later for your insult to me! What are you still doing? Relieve the acupoint quickly!”
Ning Yuan felt more surprised, “Are you the outstanding disciple of Meng Xi, the creator of Changfeng Formula and Lord of Qi Yang? But I’ve never heard that he has a disciple, and never heard the second person in Jianghu who can use Changfeng Formula. Besides, the level of your kung fu… No, no, how can Meng Xi have such a weak disciple like you?”
He Danggui sneered, “Hares may pull dead lions by the beard. When I take revenge on you in the future, you don’t regret about your behavior today. Although I can’t compare with you in kung fu, it doesn’t mean that I can’t lesson you severely. If you don’t relieve my acupoint quickly, there will be no Xue Du Ruo for those 8 carrier pigeons to eat this noon!”
Ning Yuan drew the small face closer again and put the tip of his nose on hers. Then he said with a smile, “You are really noisy. No matter what you said, or how amazing your identity was, you are my concubine I ordered last night. Now, my original intention is still unchanged. I’ll take it as consolidating our contract… As for the soft spot of Geng Bingxiu, and the material evidence of Zhu Gang’s corruption and perversion of the law, I will let you tell me.”
“Third Miss! Third Miss? Third Miss!” Two old voices shouted alternately, “The First Younger Mistress is coming! Where are you?” He Danggui recognized the voices of Mammy Li and Mammy Hua. Both of them were the main forces arranged by Mammy Tang to entangle Dong Xinlan, the First Younger Mistress. Perhaps they could not wait for the pioneer He Danggui, so they were in a hurry to find her.
He Danggui looked at the opposite side, seeing that Ning Yuan was about to poke her mute acupoint. She quickly scolded, “Ning Yuan, is this the only method you can use to conquer women? You can just use your identity or kung fu to control people!”
Ning Yuan’s hand paused for a moment. Then he stopped his intention of poking her Yamen acupoint at the back of her neck, but gently stroked her cheek and said, “Girl, I have many means, but you are only 10 years old. Those are not suitable for you!” Looking at the little beauty with angry expression in his arms, Ning Yuan sighed and raised his hand to relieve her major acupoints. He said to her in a rarely soft tone, “Well, I’ll let you go today. Actually, I’m not a bad person. I’ve never used strong means for women. You can think about it well. Even if you look all over the world, you will never find another person who has the power and status like me… Ah! What did you do?!”
Ning Yuan looked at a blood blister on the back of his hand in anger and shock. It looked as big as a copper cash. As it grew slowly, his right arm suddenly became numb and unable to move freely, and his right hand could hardly make a fist freely!
He Danggui smiled, took back a silver needle into the cuff, nodded and said, “I admit that I’m a bit clumsy in throwing hidden weapons, but I’m confident to show the skill of inserting needles. What do you think of my skill, Knight Ning? I also hope you can point out my shortcomings.” Seeing that Ning Yuan seemed to rush towards her angrily, she added unhurriedly, “In fact, that silver needle is highly toxic. Do you still want to move around like this?”
Ning Yuan was furious, “What? How dare you poison me? I must make you bear the crime of murdering your husband, and I’ll take off all your clothes…”
He Danggui slapped Ning Yuan in the face, and then ran back to the door quickly. She said with a hand crossed, “I slapped you to let you speak politely. Hey, don’t come here! My poison is very powerful!” Seeing Ning Yuan going forward a step, she retreated about 4 steps for her safety, and continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can stab your Shangqu acupoint with a silver needle to see what color it is on the tip of the needle. Shangqu acupoint is one of the 8 important acupoints for kung Fu learners. If there is a lot of poison there, I believe you will know how dangerous you are even if I don’t say it!”
Ning Yuan stared at her coldly and asked, “Are you going to poison me to death?”
“This poison won’t kill you, but 3 months later, it will make you blind; 4 months later, it will make you deaf; 5 months later, it will make you bald. And 6 months later, you are unable to have a son.” He Danggui counted the terrible effects of this “poison”. The more she counted, the happier she was. Seeing Ning Yuan’s face which even could not be described as “unhappy”, and thinking of his amazing arts of lightness, she didn’t want to offend him too thoroughly. Therefore, she said, “But considering that it is your first offence to me, I also don’t want to make you have no offspring. I will give you a temporary antidote every 7 days. When you leave Luo’s Mansion, you will be completely detoxified.”
“What are your requirements? I don’t think you can help me without any conditions, can you?” He asked. At some point, Ning Yuan’s eyes turned from dark black to golden brown. His eyelashes were long and dense, so the strange scene was covered. Not far away, He Danggui planned to escape, so she also didn’t see his change.
“You’re really smart. I do have a request,” He Danggui said, shaking her forefinger carefully. “Although I doubt your credit, I want you to make a vicious oath immediately. If you seek revenge after detoxification, if you dare to touch me, if you insist on marrying me as your concubine, you will never have a child! Say it now! Say it! It’s now or never! No one in this world can detoxify you except me!”
Ning Yuan lowered his head and hated himself secretly, “Not only does the injury suddenly recur, but also the Mo Tong Skill that my teacher Mr. Bai taught me suddenly fails. Is it because her poison is too powerful? It’s really bad. Among all the Lords, only my eyes are brown. If this girl sees my brown eyes, with the intelligence ability of Qiyanggong Sect, my identity would be completely exposed! If I kill her, Feng Yang’s private friendship with a seignior will also be exposed. In order to avoid troubles, Chang Nuo can no longer pretend to be Feng Yang, and I will lose the strong support from Caobang Organization, just like losing one arm!”
After thinking about the pros and cons for a while, Ning Yuan lowered his head and said stiffly, “I swear. If I hurt you, if I am not sincere to you, and if I marry you as a concubine, I will have no child for my whole life.”
He Danggui didn’t expect that he had sworn so obediently. Hearing that Mammy Hua was about to come here, she didn’t want to delay anymore. She hurriedly left a sentence, “Your hand will move after 2 hours, and you can get the first antidote after 7 days!” Then she ran out of the corridor as fast as she could.
She didn’t stop until she ran to the main hall. Then she took a breath, “Oh, what a terrible man! Peerless kung fu, meticulous scheming and ruthless heart!”
“Who is he? Among Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons, grandsons and nephews, there are over 30 Lords and about 7 Lords are of his age. Besides, although he called himself “Lord”, he may lie to me. It’s true that the ambergris was not available to ordinary people, but his arts of lightness is so excellent, so he can steal ambergris… It’s not good. He becomes interested in my secret and wants to take me away to “study slowly”. In a word, until he left Luo’s Mansion, I have to prepare more “poison” needles.”
“Third Miss, I have found you! Where have you been?” Mammy Li and Mammy Hua ran near, panted and said, “First Younger Mistress is coming with Zhu. Now she is coming here. You…”
“Do according to the plan! I’m going to the tearoom to hide.”
He Danggui answered and turned around to walk into the main hall. She went through a side room and a wing-room, then to the last room and had a cup of tea to calm herself down. Fortunately, after stealing these needles last night, she suddenly had a good idea. Smearing Tian Cang Ma anesthesia on the needles and matching with her Yunqi Acupuncture might lead to the double effect. Unexpectedly, she used it on Ning Yuan before she tried it. Tian Cang Ma anesthesia had the effects of benefiting gallbladder channel and rejuvenating the heart. In addition, the big blood blister she stabbed and the numbness temporarily intimidated Ning Yuan and forced him to make that vicious oath. She only hoped that he could keep his promise and never come to trouble her again.
Originally, she wanted the menservants called Feng Yan and Feng Yu to go out to look for Chan Yi. However, since she had fallen out with Ning Yuan, she had to think another way. He Danggui was in a state of preoccupation, and then she heard the voices of Dong Xinlan and Mammy Tang. After listening carefully, she found that there were many people, including Luo Baiqian, Luo Baishao and Wei.
Mammy Tang was also surprised that Madam Luo just drove away two people last night, but today, with Zhu who was in a coma, a total of 5 people came again. However, they only had 3 people, including Mammy Li and Mammy Hua. There was a huge gap between the two sides. In order to leave Zhu alone in the wing-room, Mammy Tang warmly invited everyone to talk to Madam Luo, and everyone agreed. When Dong Xinlan left, she wanted to take her son Zhu with her. Mammy Tang stopped her and said that the comatose child could not move frequently. Otherwise, he would easily catch a cold and be in danger of falling. Dong Xinlan felt Mammy Tang’s words reasonable, so she put Zhu in the middle of the couch and turned away.
He Danggui listened to the sound of everyone’s footsteps and the breathing sound of Zhu outside. It was long and smooth, meaning that Zhu slept well, so she went out to check his condition.
A thin 3-year-old boy wearing brocade clothes was covered with brocade quilt. His eyes were closed, as if he was dreaming and no one could disturb him. He Danggui walked closer and thought, “Since Dong Xinlan dares to take Zhu to visit Madam Luo, he would not wake at once. How could Dong Xinlan make him fall asleep?” He Danggui opened the brocade quilt, pulled the hand half smaller than hers to feel the pulse, and then opened his eyelids to see the color of his eyes.
She sneered, “Knockout drops, it should be knockout drops! There should be such a ruthless mother in the world. Just to find someone to revenge, just to frame a little girl who had no hatred with her, she even uses the knockout drops on her own son!”
For healthy adults, knockout drops were just a simple drug whose efficacy would disappear after sleeping and sweating. However, Zhu was a little boy who also suffered from a serious illness. Now he was extremely weak. Therefore, it was hard to say what kind of sequela he would have after he took this kind of “refined knockout drops”. Although Luo Baiqian was a skilled physician, Dong Xinlan did not have any medical knowledge and did not know that she had made a big mistake now.
He Danggui thought for a moment, took out 3 small size and one medium size silver needles, and then took off the coat of Zhu to give him an acupuncture treatment. After about 15 minutes, she faintly heard the voices from the distance, among which Dong Xinlan’s voice was the loudest. He Danggui frowned, quickly collected the needles and dressed Zhu. She sneered, “In daily life, Dong Xinlan often speaks in a voice as low as the mosquito. It seems that this time, she suffered a lot of grievances from Luo Baiqian. In order to comfort herself, she even uses her real voice.”
Restoring the quilt of Zhu to the original state with 4 corners rolled up, He Danggui supported the windowsill with one hand and jumped to the back of the house, standing behind a cluster of Chinese roses and listening to the voices from the distance. In addition to the people who just left, it seemed that there were also the people who talked with Madam Luo before, as well as Mr. Ma and Mr. Wu, the famous physicians of San Qing Tang who lived in Luo’s Mansion recently to treat Zhu. Oh, it was livelier than a play.
After a sound of footsteps, Dong Xinlan cried, “My son just recovered yesterday. That woman is so cruel. I don’t know what was put in the cubilose. He fell into a coma after drinking it! Oh, I don’t know if he can wake up this time!”
Because she was reprimanded by Madam Luo yesterday, Dong Xinlan no longer called “He Danggui” today, but used “that woman” to refer to her. Madam Luo, Mammy Tang and Luo Baiqian knew the reason, but Ning Yuan and the fake Feng Yang were confused and thought that there was a fatal case.
Therefore, the fake Feng Yang suggested, “Don’t be sad, Madam. Poisoning and killing people are not allowed in our country, let alone poisoning a kid. Let’s notify the Yamen as soon as possible and let the local government handle it.”
“No, you can’t notify the Yamen!” Madam Luo, Mammy Tang and Dong Xinlan shouted in unison.
