Chapter 276 Monogamy
“Zhu Quan?” He Danggui was amazed, “Don’t you know that Qi Xuanyu is on the same side with Zhu Quan? Why did you ask him to help you! What if he tries to harm you?” After a few seconds, she continued, “Do you remember that last time Qi Xuanyu dared to fight with Zhu Quan because the latter tore my little portrait? This is the proof of Qi Xuanyu’s high skill in Kungfu!”
Meng Xuan consoled her, “Don’t worry. No one can defeat my fourth uncle, and there will be no troubles.”
Suddenly, the water curtain in front of him started to flow sharply, and his voice became urgent and painful, “Xiaoyi, it feels like three hundred years have passed since you refused to see me three months ago. I can’t find you. I can’t tell you that I miss you. You are so smart yet ruthless. You do know the method that hurts me completely. Is your heart made of ice? You didn’t even leave me a chance to explain. For three months, I guess I have suffered from my punishment long enough. However, you are about to marry someone else! Compared to that, I wish you could kill me outright!”
“I’m sorry.” She apologized for the cruel and heartless woman three years later.
“It took me so long to marry you. I thought I had found the greatest happiness in the world. But I didn’t expect to lose you so easily within half a year. I hate myself!” Meng Xuan suddenly plunged his hands into the water curtain and whispered, “Let me feel you, please. I don’t know when I will see you again.”
He Danggui had no time to figure out how Meng Xuan could cross the water curtain, and she hurriedly stepped forward to put his hand on her teary cheek. Seeing Meng Xuan, she was extremely distressed about insisting on that damn “monogamy.”
A soft light appeared in Meng Xuan’s eyes, “I didn’t like to sleep before. I felt that it was a waste of time. I only needed to sit in meditation for two hours each day. But since I lost you, I started to like sleeping, a way in which I can be with you. Sometimes, I really want to sleep for a long time. I just want to see you when I close my eyes every time. In my dreams, you are not as ruthless as you are in reality at all. You will rush into my arms and rub your warm face against my chest, saying that we will never be apart.”
He Danggui cried, “We won’t! We will be together forever.”
Meng Xuan exhaled a warm breath. Then he panted and laughed, “Thank you, it is very heartwarming. Xiaoyi, I just hope that if I make any mistakes in the future, or I let you be sad or disappointed, you would go straight to tell me and correct my problems. The Meng Xuan three years ago doesn’t know how to be a good lover, but I hope you could teach him and don’t abandon him, okay?”
He Danggui cried and nodded, “Of course! I promise!”
Meng Xuan’s hands were as cold as ice. He stroked her cheeks and said with a smile, “It’s a really valuable trip. I have gotten the heart of the seven-year-old Xiaoyi. I wish I had met you earlier. My life was so dull before I met you. Xiaoyi, before I knew you, I didn’t know what was loneliness. However, now, I am afraid to be alone. Yingtian Prefecturewithout you is like in ruins!”
“Oh!” He Danggui said suddenly, “Qi Xuanyu has a high level of medical skills, but you are still vomiting blood. He doesn’t give an acupuncture treatment, does he? Meng Xuan, he may want to hurt you. What should we do?”
“Don’t worry. He is conducting a ritual to help me. I will let him heal my injuries when I go back.” Meng Xuan looked at her through the water curtain tenderly and affectionately. “Three years ago, Zhu Quan said that he had a kind of disease. If he didn’t saw you, his heart would hurt. But he didn’t love you. It was only because of the Love Poison. However, I am totally different. Ever since I drank your cloud tea, I have been drunk for six years, and I have been missing you every single day. When I left Yangzhou City that year, I sneaked into the tea room of Fu Shou Yardof Luo’s Mansion and stole the pot of half-succeeded red fruit tea you made. I put it on my countertop and ate one slice every day. According to Yi Tong, the taste of the tea was too sweet, but I could only sense bitterness in my mouth. Yi Tong said that my tongue didn’t work...”
“Stop!” He Danggui shook her head. Looking at the red stain on Meng Xuan’s chest, she said sadly, “Why are you torturing yourself like this? If you survive this time, don’t be so stupid again in the future. I don’t deserve you to do this!”
But Meng Xuan was so stubborn that he insisted on telling Xiaoyi about his theft, “I also stole a strand of your hair. I have always smelled the Carefree Fragrance on it for the past years. My worries dissipated with the fragrance as well. But Yi Tong told me that the hair had no fragrance at all, and my nose didn’t work. The cambric waistband and leggings you entrusted to your mother were secretly replaced by me. I bought them in a cloth shop. I took the waistband and leggings you made and put them on every night. Yi Tong said that my waist and legs were also in some trouble. Xiaoyi, only you can cure these problems. Are you willing to treat me?”
He Danggui nodded her head twice, but then shook it, “I lied to you. I didn’t die of illness after I married Duan Xiaolou.” Meng Xuan was a stupid fool of love. He would kill himself if he continued to act like this. She wanted to break her image as the fairy and wake him up from his love fantasy.
Thinking of this, she said cruelly, “I couldn’t bear the loneliness of the Marquis’ Mansion in my previous life. So, I eloped with a man and gave birth to three children. I am no longer a virgin. In this life, I took a liking to Zhu Quan’s position and power, so I seduced him when he was in Luo’s Mansion. Later, I found that I overestimated my abilities, so I turned to you for help and wanted to marry you for shelter!”
Meng Xuan was silent for a moment and said, “It’s not you. If you wanted to cling to the rich and powerful childes, you had no need to seduce Zhu Quan. I’m not less powerful than him. Besides, I am obedient to you. Why didn’t you seduce me? On the night of our marriage, you were still a virgin, and you were so gentle to me back then. Xiaoyi, I am no longer who I was three years ago. Now I trust you wholeheartedly. Such lies cannot deceive me anymore. I know that you don’t want me to become crazy, but I can’t control myself. You made me like this. When I wanted to marry you as my concubine, I took account of your reputation. If you had agreed immediately, I might not have been so obsessed with you.”
He Danggui was silent, and then she sighed, “It’s predestined. These is no escape from our fates.”
She warmed Meng Xuan’s hands with her cheek and made up her mind to find Meng Xuan as soon as she got out of Fantasy Dream. She would treat him well, dispel his bad luck, and let him live happily for the rest of his life. She would return his affectionateness. She had already ruined Duan Xiaolou, but she couldn’t ruin Meng Xuan as well. Otherwise, she would become a sinner in this life. In addition, it was not difficult for her to love an outstanding and righteous man like Meng Xuan if she tried to open her heart...
“I need to tell you something.” Meng Xuan felt there was a suction above his head, trying to pull his spirit from this place, so he said with the fastest speed, “The name of the woman who accidentally had my child is Xiao Suxin. Her real name is Su Xiaoxiao. She was a friend of mine in my previous life, but we didn’t have emotional entanglement. However, before I was rescued by you on the mountain, I saved her once at Tu’er Town, where she started to have crush on me. I don’t know how to deal with it. She has never shown her feelings to me, and I have no chance to refuse her. I hope that she will meet her lover of previous life soon.”
“Lover of previous life?” He Danggui frowned, “but she has fallen in love with you in this life. That man may not be helpful. Once a woman falls in love, she won’t let it go easily. Don’t underestimate a woman’s determination.”
“That’s why I explain. I want you to help your future husband solve this problem,” Meng Xuan even said playfully at a crisis, “If you change her predestined marriage, I won’t have a child with her. As long as you help me, I can swear that I will be faithful to you in the future, and I would rather lose my life than lose my chastity, okay?”
Meng Xuan’s long hair was floating because of the suction. He Danggui hurriedly said, “Tell me what to do! I will follow your instructions!” Every message from Meng Xuan was at a cost to his health. She couldn’t let him down anymore.
Meng Xuan told her, “Her lover in the previous life was your second cousin, Luo Baiji. Destiny brought them together. Su Xiaoxiao lived in a house on the back street of Luo’s Mansion, and she even gave birth to a son. That was a lovely period. But Luo’s Family broke the sweetness by introducing Luo Baiji a formal wife. What was even worse was that their son was stolen one night; only a note was left, saying that the thief knew Su Xiaoxiao’s true identity, and if she didn’t want her husband’s family to be killed, she had to leave Yangzhou City forever.”
“What’s her true identity?”
Meng Xuan, sitting cross-legged, gradually moved away from the ground, and his voice was getting more and more distant. He said, “I shouldn’t have revealed my friend’s secrets, but she has invaded our lives. I must violate my principle this time. Xiaoyi, she is a friend of my previous life. I hope you will show mercy to her.”
He Danggui felt so angry and laughable. The man’s time was running out, but he had the mood to intercede for others? She glared at him, “She is a heroine. I don’t think I can help her. You are acting like I am a human-eating monster.”
Meng Xuan flew higher, and his voice became distant and vague, “Three years later, everyone will take you seriously. Your name will be more shocking than ten cannibalistic monsters. Su Xiaoxiao is the culprit pursued by imperial order. She is Hu Weiyong’s adopted daughter. Although Hu Weiyong died when she was only three years old, she and the nurse fled with an important legacy of Hu Weiyong. That’s why she is the felon.”
Hu Weiyong’s adopted daughter? But He Danggui had no time to think about it. She continued to ask, “Anything else?”
Meng Xuan’s voice was almost inaudible. He Danggui could only hear a vaguely faint sound. “… Fantasy Dream … form ties of affection … predestined …” In the next moment, he was drawn away by a huge force and disappeared. Only the word “monogamy” echoed in the black paved path.
Click! Something fell on the ground not far away. He Danggui hurried over to see what it was.
