It was already late at night. All the shops on the street of Tianshui Bridge were closed, and there were no pedestrians left.
Luo Ning, wearing a veiled hat, walked slowly along the street. Every time she passed an alley, she would take a look inside.
After leaving the Wang Family's medical hall, Luo Ning had originally returned to Shuanggui Alley and didn't think much of it at first.
But just as she changed her clothes, she felt something was wrong – that female owner obviously cared a great deal about the little rascal; the little rascal even wrote a poem saying "One night makes Xiangjun's white hair grow more", which showed that he had that female owner in his heart.
If she gave the medicine prescribed by Madam Wang to that female owner, and the female owner asked about the details, wouldn't she just take the opportunity to "have" the little rascal?
Although she felt that her relationship with the little rascal was as pure as water, they had basically done everything except the last step.
Although she hadn't decided whether to make the little rascal take responsibility or not, from a rational perspective, she should be more cautious and prevent the losses that she shouldn't bear, right?
It didn't make sense that she was keeping a distance from the little rascal herself and also not allowing others to "have" him.
But just because she wasn't going to "have" him didn't mean she should help others by giving them a box of medicine. Wasn't that just being foolish?!!
For this reason, Luo Ning ran back to the Wang Family's medical hall, planning to pull the little rascal away as soon as he came out. However, she found that the little rascal had already left with the female owner.
Luo Ning felt that something was wrong, so she asked around for the address and came here.
After searching with a troubled heart for a while, she finally found the Pei Family's alley.
Luo Ning peeked inside and just saw a man and a woman sitting under two lanterns.
The man was extremely handsome, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower. They were like a couple having a secret rendezvous under the moon.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Luo Ning quickly turned her head, and an indescribable feeling of sourness and anger welled up in her heart!
This little rascal...
Luo Ning gritted her silver teeth. Just as she was about to leave in a fit of pique, voices suddenly came from the alley:
"Lady Luo... Mmmph——"
"You're not allowed to go with her..."
...
?!
Luo Ning's anger flared up instantly!
Not allowed to go with me?
In the eyes of this female owner, I should be Ye Jingtang's fiancée, right?
You're not afraid when you see me coming, and you even hold Ye Jingtang back. Isn't this just bullying me blatantly?
Luo Ning clenched her hands tightly. She knew that she shouldn't rush in and get angry over such a messy matter.
But she, Luo Ning, was the wife of the leader of the Pingtian Sect. If she endured being bullied like this by another woman, how could she still stay in the martial arts world in the future?!!
Luo Ning took a deep breath, turned around, and quickly walked into the bluestone alley.
Tap tap tap...
In just a few steps, Luo Ning arrived outside the gate of the Pei Family. The voices also reached her ears:
"San Niang, calm down..."
"What do you mean calm down? Do you care about that seductive woman so much? What have I done wrong to you..."
?!
Looking up, she saw the charming woman holding the arm of her so-called "fiancé" and pulling him into the house with force, and she even wanted to close the door!
Luo Ning was shocked!
She had seen mistresses being shrewish, but this was the first time she had seen a woman so arrogant in front of the legitimate wife!
Even with her good temper, Luo Ning was almost fuming with anger. She said angrily:
"Ye Jingtang!"
Her voice was quite loud and trembling, and it seemed that she was on the verge of tears from anger.
Ye Jingtang was stuck in the middle of the gate. Seeing this, he quickly raised his hand:
"Lady Luo, calm down..."
Pei Xiangjun saw that the leader's wife had the intention of drugging Jingtang and dared to come to the door. She wasn't afraid either:
"What are you shouting for, you seductive woman? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors?"
Luo Ning originally wanted to resolve the matter peacefully. But with these words, she was left with no way out. She said coldly:
"So what if they hear? I'm his fiancée. You're stealing my man and still daring to be so insolent in front of me? If you have the guts, you shrew, just shout and see who will be more embarrassed!"
"Hey?!!"
When Pei Xiangjun heard the word "shrew", her delicate eyebrows furrowed in anger – she and Ye Jingtang were just distantly related like an aunt and nephew, and you are the wife that Xue Baijin married through proper channels!
A married woman, trying to poach someone from my family by drugging him, and now you even dare to come to my door and curse!
Do you really think I, Pei San Niang, am an easy target?
Pei Xiangjun glared back and retorted:
"Jingtang is the young master of my family. You haven't married into our family yet. Do you really want to snatch a man from my Pei Family at night?"
Luo Ning also had a strong temper: "He works for your family and gets paid. Do you really think he's one of your family members? My relationship with him is based on mutual affection. Isn't it closer than your distant relationship as an employer?"
Pei Xiangjun knew that there would be such a day since she hadn't confirmed her relationship with Ye Jingtang, but she didn't expect this day to come so suddenly!
"Since you two are in love, why did you, you seductive woman, drug him?"
?
When Luo Ning heard this, she was a bit intimidated...
But in this situation, Luo Ning's mind was still sharp:
"He's my fiancé. Can't I buy medicine to boost his desire? Do you want to interfere in our bedroom affairs? What right do you have to interfere?"
"..."
These words directly left Pei Xiangjun speechless.
Pei Xiangjun couldn't win the argument, but she couldn't let Jingtang, who had been drugged, leave with this seductive woman from the Pingtian Sect. So she gritted her teeth and said:
"Jingtang is staying with me tonight. I'll stay with him. You go back and wait!"
Hey?!!
Luo Ning's clothes were heaving with anger, and her fragrant shoulders were trembling slightly. She was too angry to curse anymore. She directly took off her veiled hat and was about to use force to snatch the man away.
As the leader of Honghua Building, Pei Xiangjun was afraid of the leader of the Pingtian Sect, but she wasn't really afraid of this leader's wife who was famous for her beauty.
Seeing that this woman full of malicious intentions dared to take action, she stopped talking and was ready to fight.
Just as a big fight was about to break out, a voice suddenly sounded from the middle:
"Stop!"
Ye Jingtang was caught in the middle. He didn't dare to interrupt either of them, and there was no chance for him to do so.
Although he expected that with him "playing with three boats", he would sooner or later be torn apart, he didn't expect that San Niang's "boat" and Lady Luo's "boat" would part ways first.
They were all from the martial arts world, and they had no enmity with each other, yet they could quarrel like this. If the "big boats" of the Pingtian Sect and the court clashed, he was afraid that even "little Jingtang" would be split in half!
Ye Jingtang stood in the middle of the door, not even daring to tilt his head casually. He raised his hand to mediate:
"We're all people of status. Let's talk peacefully. Being angry can harm your health..."
Luo Ning had been bullied like this, and seeing that the little rascal was just trying to smooth things over instead of saying a word for her, there was a hint of grievance in her eyes. She said angrily:
"Ye Jingtang! Come out here!"
Pei Xiangjun quickly hugged Ye Jingtang's arm:
"You're not allowed to leave."
?!
Do you want me to die?!!
In desperation, Ye Jingtang's face darkened:
"Let's make it clear first. I've been drugged, and my mind isn't clear. You want to fight over me, right? Fine, I'll do as you wish..."
Ye Jingtang turned around and hugged San Niang's waist, lifting her up. Then he came to the door, put his arm around Lady Luo's waist, holding one in each arm, and strode into the house:
"You came at the right time. Two birds with one stone..."
!?
The two quarreling women suddenly fell silent!
Luo Ning's eyes were filled with horror, and she even forgot to struggle. She stared at the little rascal who looked like a lecher:
"Little rascal, what are you doing?"
Ye Jingtang turned his head and directly kissed Lady Luo on the face:
"What am I doing? What do you think I'm doing? You two conspired to drug me. I'm taking the antidote. What else could I be doing..."
Pei Xiangjun was stunned when Ye Jingtang held her waist and carried her. Only then did she come to her senses, and her face turned red as she struggled:
"Jingtang! You've been drugged. Don't go crazy! I... Ah——"
Ye Jingtang leaned in to kiss San Niang. But San Niang reacted quickly and leaned back. She covered Ye Jingtang's mouth and turned her head to avoid him, looking as terrified as a young wife being forced, and said:
"Jingtang, are you serious?!! You... You've been drugged. Don't go crazy... There are maids in the house. Don't let them see... Seductive woman, quickly take him away!"
Luo Ning had been very angry at first, but now she was also stunned. Seeing that Ye Jingtang seemed to have been drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac and couldn't be controlled, she didn't dare to take this man back and cause trouble for herself. She quickly said:
"Weren't you the one who said he should stay with you? I... I give in, okay?"
As she spoke, Luo Ning struggled vigorously, jumped out of Ye Jingtang's arms, turned around, and ran away.
Tap tap tap...
?!
Pei Xiangjun was still being held. Seeing that the maid was about to run out, she quickly broke free from the hand around her waist, pushed Ye Jingtang out the door:
"Go and cause trouble for her! I'm not angry! She said she gave you the medicine to boost your desire. Don't fall into her trap."
As she spoke, she forcefully pushed Ye Jingtang out of the gate of the Pei Family, closed the door, and even inserted the bolt.
Click——
Ye Jingtang was shut outside the door. His expression was one of relief, as if he had just escaped from the gates of hell!
Then he put on a hurried look and chased towards the entrance of the alley:
"Lady Luo... Lady Luo?..."
"..."
Pei Xiangjun leaned against the door with her back, her face as red as blood, and her eyes were so complex that they could write half a book!
It wasn't until the heartless Ye Jingtang had walked far away that she stomped her embroidered shoe hard, probably meaning:
That seductive woman dared to scold me. I won't let you get away with it...
