Chapter 128: No, You Came at Just the Right Time!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was already late at night. All the stores on Heavenly Water Bridge were closed, and there were no longer any pedestrians.

Wearing a veiled hat, Luo Ning slowly walked through the street. Every time she passed by an alley, she would look inside.

After leaving the Wang family’s medical clinic, Luo Ning had returned to Double Osmanthus Alley and didn’t think too much about it.

But as soon as she changed her clothes, she felt that something was wrong. That female boss clearly cared a lot about the little thief. The little thief had even written a poem with the line, ‘Overnight, Xiangjun’s hair turned gray’, which showed that he had the female boss in his heart.

After she gave the medicine prescribed by Madam Wang to the female boss and the female boss figured out the whole story, wouldn’t she take advantage of the situation and eat the little thief?

Although she felt that her relationship with the little thief was as clear as water, they had basically done everything except the last step.

Although she hadn’t decided yet if she should let the little thief take responsibility, from a rational point of view, she had to have some brains and guard against losses that she shouldn’t suffer, right?

It was indeed unreasonable for her to draw a clear line with the little thief and not let others eat him.

But even if she didn’t eat him, she shouldn’t help pass the chopsticks and deliver a box of medicine if someone else wanted to eat him. Wouldn’t this be too stupid?!

For this reason, Luo Ning ran back to the Wang family’s clinic. When the little thief came out, she planned to take him away. In the end, she found that the little thief had already left with the female boss.

Luo Ning felt that something was wrong, so she asked for the address and went over.

After searching for a while with her heart tight, she finally found the Pei family alley.

Luo Ning looked around and happened to see a man and woman sitting under two lanterns.

The man was extraordinarily handsome, and the woman was stunningly beautiful. They were like a couple having a moonlight tryst.

When Luo Ning saw this scene, she hurriedly turned around. An indescribable jealousy and anger arose in her heart! This little thief…

Luo Ning gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to leave in a fit of anger, a voice suddenly came from the alley.

“Heroine—Woo—”

“You’re not allowed to go with her…”

?!

Luo Ning’s anger immediately rose!

Not allowed to go with me?

In the eyes of this female boss, 1 should be Ye Jingtangs fiancee, right?

Seeing me coming over, aren’t you afraid? You’re even holding Ye Jingtang and not letting him leave. Aren’t you bullying me and riding on my face?

Luo Ning clenched her fists tightly. She knew that she shouldn’t run in because of this messy matter.

But she, Luo Ning, was the dignified cult mistress of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. If she endured this anger and allowed herself to be bullied by another woman, how could she survive in Jianghu in the future?!

Luo Ning took a deep breath, turned around, and quickly walked into the limestone alley.

Tread, tread, tread…

In just a few steps, Luo Ning arrived outside the Pei residence’s entrance, and words came to her ears.

“Third Lady, calm down…”

“Why should I calm down? Do you feel so sorry for that vixen? I’m doing this for your own good…”

?!

She looked up and saw the charming woman hugging her nominal fiance’s arm and pulling him into the house with all her might. She even wanted to close the door!

Luo Ning was shocked!

She had seen a shrewish mistress before, but this was the first time she had seen such an arrogant woman in front of the wife!

No matter how good-tempered Luo Ning was, her chest was about to explode from anger. “Ye Jingtang!”

Her voice was loud and reverberating. It seemed that she was crying from anger.

Ye Jingtang was stuck inside the doorway. Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his hand. “Heroine Luo, calm down…”

When Pei Xiangjun saw that the cult mistress, who had plotted to drug Jingtang, even dared to come knocking on her door, she wasn’t afraid. “Why are you shouting, you vixen? Aren’t you afraid the neighbors will hear you make a fool of yourself?”

Luo Ning originally wanted to settle things peacefully, but as soon as she heard this, how could she back down? She said coldly, “So what if they hear it? I’m his fiancee. You’re stealing my man and still dare to be impudent in front of me? If you have the ability, shout, you shrew. Let’s see who’s embarrassed!”

“Huh?!” When Pei Xiangjun heard the word shrew, she was so angry that her willowy eyebrows bristled. I’m just Ye Jingtangs martial aunt, and we have nothing to do with each other. You’re Xue Baijin’s officially wedded wife!

As a married woman, you’re using medicine to poach my person, but you still dare to come to my door and curse at me?!

Do you really think 1, Third Lady Pei, am a pushover?

Pei Xiangjun glared angrily and retorted, “Jingtang is the young master of my family. You haven’t married into my family. Do you still want to snatch a man from my Pei family at night?”

Luo Ning’s temper was also quite bad. “He’s just getting paid to help your family. Do you really think he’s your family? Isn’t my relationship with him closer than yours, a boss unrelated to him?”

Pei Xiangjun hadn’t confirmed her relationship with Ye Jingtang. She knew that this day would come, but she didn’t expect it to come so suddenly! “Since you two are in love, why are you giving him that kind of medicine, you vixen?”

?

When Luo Ning heard this, she cowered…

But even in this situation, Luo Ning’s mind was still working very quickly. “He’s my fiance. Can’t I buy medicine for him to liven things up? Do you have to interfere in the matters in our boudoir? What right do you have to interfere?”

These words rendered Pei Xiangjun speechless.

Pei Xiangjun couldn’t win the argument, but she couldn’t let the drugged Jingtang leave with this demoness of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. She could only grit her teeth and say, “Jingtang will stay with me tonight. I’ll accompany him. Go back and wait!”

Huh?/The front of Luo Ning’s clothes bulged, and her shoulders trembled with anger. She couldn’t be bothered to curse anymore. She just took off her veiled hat and reached out to grab him by force.

As the pavilion lord of the Red Flower Pavilion, Pei Xiangjun was indeed afraid of the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master, but she wasn’t afraid of the cult mistress who was famous for her beauty.

Seeing that this woman with a belly full of evil tricks dared to get physical, she didn’t say anything and went forward to fight.

Just as the battle was about to start, a voice suddenly sounded from the middle. “Stop!”

Ye Jingtang was caught in the middle. No one dared to interrupt, nor could they interrupt.

Although he had expected that he would be torn limb from limb for riding on three ships sooner or later, he didn’t expect Third Lady’s and Heroine Luo’s ships to part ways first.

They were all people of Jianghu and had no hatred or enmity against each other. If they continued to argue like this, if the ships of the Pacifying Heaven Cult and the Red Flower Pavilion capsized, he was afraid that Little Jingtang would be split into two!

Ye Jingtang stood in the middle of the door. He didn’t even dare to tilt his hair.

He raised his hand to try to stop the fight. “We are all people of status. Please speak nicely. It’s bad for your health to be angry…”

Luo Ning was already bullied to this extent. Seeing that this little thief was still trying to smooth things over instead of speaking up for her, her eyes were a little aggrieved as she said angrily, “Ye Jingtang! Come out!”

Pei Xiangjun hurriedly hugged Ye Jingtang’s arm. “You’re not allowed to leave.”

?!

Do you two want me to die?! Ye Jingtang felt helpless, and his face darkened. “Let me make this clear first. I’ve taken the medicine, and my brain isn’t working properly. You two want to fight, right? Alright, I’ll do as you wish…”

Ye Jingtang hugged Third Lady’s waist and picked her up. Then he went to the door and put his arm around Heroine Luo’s waist. Carrying them in one arm each, he strode into the house. “It’s good that you’re here. A twofer with one cannon…”

?!

The two quarreling women instantly fell silent!

Luo Ning’s eyes were full of horror. She even forgot to struggle and glared at the little thief with a lewd look on his face. “Little thief, what are you doing?”

Ye Jingtang tilted his head and kissed Heroine Luo’s face. “What am 1 doing?

What do you think I’m doing? The two of you worked together to drug me. Now I’m going to take the antidote…”

Pei Xiangjun was stunned when Ye Jingtang hugged her waist and carried her away. Only now did she come back to her senses. Her face turned red as she struggled. “Jingtang! You’ve been drugged. Don’t go crazy! I… Ah!”

Ye Jingtang leaned over to kiss Third Lady, but Third Lady reacted quickly.

She hurriedly leaned back and covered Ye Jingtang’s mouth. She turned her head to hide the fear in her eyes like a wife being forced. “Jingtang, are you serious?! You… you’ve been drugged. Don’t go crazy… There are maidservants in the residence. Don’t let anyone see you… Vixen, quickly take him away!”

Luo Ning was originally extremely angry, but at this moment, she was confused. Seeing Ye Jingtang seemed to be drugged and couldn’t suppress it anymore, she didn’t dare to bring this man back to harm her. She hurriedly said, “Didn’t you tell him to stay with you? I… I’ll let him!”

While speaking, Luo Ning struggled with all her might, jumped down from Ye Jingtang’s arm, turned around, and ran away.

Tread, tread, tread…

?!

Pei Xiangjun was still being carried. Seeing that the maidservants were about to run out, she hurriedly broke free from Ye Jingtang’s arm around her waist and pushed him out. “Go harm her! I won’t be angry! She said she would liven things up with you. Don’t fall for her trap.”

With that, she forcefully pushed Ye Jingtang out of the Pei family’s doors, closed them, and even inserted the door bolt.

Click!

Ye Jingtang was locked outside the door with a relieved expression, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell!

Then he pretended to be anxious and chased toward the alley. “Heroine Luo… Heroine Luo…?”

Pei Xiangjun’s back was against the door. Her face was as red as blood, and her eyes were so complicated that half a book could be written!

It wasn’t until Ye Jingtang had walked far away that she stomped her embroidered shoes hard.. Her meaning was probably: How dare this coquettish vixen scold me? I’m not done with you…
