When these words came out, Feng Long and I both widened our eyes. But Feng Long came to his senses before me, walked closer and said loudly: "Yes, yes! I fell in love with Lan Xiang at first sight. She can write plays and sing, and she is very interesting. I asked Jing for her during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Jing refused anyway, so I had to give up. I didn't expect that the gift Jing gave me was robbed by thieves. I guess Jing felt bad, so he proposed to give Lan Xiang to me as a concubine."

Tu Shanjing continued, "According to the law, a concubine who has been promised to another family cannot be favored by others. That's why I say that there is no way she will take the initiative to approach you today. And you must not take her away. If you insist on your own opinion, then Feng Long and I will do our best today to uphold the strict law and the reputation of our two families." After saying this, he and Feng Long stood on opposite sides, ready to fight at any time.

Yue Liang's eyes seemed to be about to pop out, but he could not think of any other excuse for the moment. The wound on his arm continued to drip blood, gathering into a small puddle at his feet.

The servant next to him approached cautiously and advised: "Your Highness, why don't we go back and find a doctor first? It's more important to treat the wound! This girl seems unable to move. Your Highness can wave his hand and thousands of beauties will rush to her. Why bother to get entangled with them here?"

Yue Liang pushed him with his backhand, and the boy fell to the ground with a heavy fall.

Yue Liang pointed at Tu Shan Jing with one hand and said through gritted teeth: "Good, good you, Master Qingqiu!"

He turned to look at Feng Long and said, "Master Feng Long, it seems that my coming here today has delayed your wedding. I should also like to congratulate you on your wedding night tonight!"

Neither of them paid any attention to him. They just looked at him quietly, with the same disgust and disdain.

Yue Liang couldn't hold on any longer, and threw up his sleeves, saying angrily: "Let's go!"

A crowd of people followed us and left in a rush. The boy got up, patted his butt, and didn't dare to look at us, but hurriedly chased after us.

Yue Liang looked at him, he shivered, and Yue Liang beckoned him. He came close to Yue Liang, and I don't know what Yue Liang said to him. He just looked at us twice and then nodded to Yue Liang.

Tu Shanjing moved his hands and raised them to wipe the blood off my face.

I was not prepared and shook subconsciously, and he shook his hand too, then put it down.

He looked at me who was still in shock, sighed, and said, "Lanxiang."

"Sir, I'm here." I looked up at him.

But he didn't look at me, but looked far away in the direction where Yue Liang and the others left.

"You should go with Fenglong today."

I opened my eyes wide in surprise and said hurriedly: "Sir, can you——"

Tu Shanjing looked at me steadily, his eyes misty: "Listen to me, let him go."

I lowered my head and bit my lip. The snow in front of me was so white that I almost cried.

Feng Long coughed lightly and said, "Well, um, come with me first. I'll ask someone to prepare hot water for you to wash - but don't wash in front of me! Don't get me wrong."

After saying that, he started walking away, and I had no choice but to follow him.

As I was about to leave the garden, I couldn't help but look back. In front of the dark rockery, Tu Shanjing, dressed in white, stood alone, looking at me. I could see thousands of mountains and rivers at a glance. The plum blossom cotton robe I dropped at his feet and the bloodstains were dazzling red in the snow, like scars that had not healed for years.

I gritted my teeth, held back my tears, and turned away from him. If I looked at him for too long, I was afraid I would become weak, so weak that I would ignore the enemy who was still spying in the dark, so weak that I would not want to manage all this anymore and would only want to be by his side.

And now I have left his safe place, and every step is like stepping on my own heart, hurting eight hundred enemies and a thousand of my own.

I followed Feng Long to his residence in a daze, and Feng Long opened the door. He turned around and saw me in a daze, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "Miss Lanxiang, please come in."

I followed him in. His residence was larger than Jing and Xinyue's rooms. There were two outer rooms. One had a table and chairs, and the other had no furniture. There was even a pole for practicing boxing in the room. There were two knives hanging diagonally on the wall next to him. One was black all over, and even the scabbard had no decoration. The other was completely different. The handle was inlaid with a circle of rubies, and the scabbard was inlaid with gold flowing water patterns, and was inlaid with turquoise, coral beads, etc.

The room was a bit messy. Fenglong untied the Red Emperor Whip from his waist and hung it on the wall. Turning back, he scratched his head a bit embarrassedly and said, "I left in a hurry during the day and didn't have time to pack. Please sit down." After that, he picked up a black cloak that was draped over the chair and threw it on the couch.

I nodded, thanked him and sat on the chair.

I didn't feel it before I sat down, but once I sat down, I felt pain all over my body and a chill coming out from between my bones. I simply didn't want to get up.

Feng Long saw that I was in a depressed state and comforted me, "Don't be afraid. With me here, they won't dare to do anything. At most, they will just monitor me from outside and then leave."

I opened my mouth to answer, but my stomach growled loudly. I didn't care whether I was embarrassed or not, I just smiled tiredly.

He curved his eyes and smiled, "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring you something to eat." Then he hurried out of the room.

I knew he was not used to being alone with a woman, and he wanted me to be alone, so I hid away.

The wind blew outside, whistling through my heart. The previous scene flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern, Yue Liang's enlarged face, the cruelty and desire in his eyes, the wet hot air blowing on my neck, then his wound gushing with blood, and his hideous face before he left...

I closed my eyes and didn't want to think about it anymore.

At this time, there were two light knocks on the door, and a thin voice sounded: "Girl? It's me."

It's a warbler.

I think Fenglong wanted to find someone close to me to enlighten me. The others were all men, and Xiaowei was too young, so he found Senying. It was a pity that he didn't know what happened to Senying before, otherwise he would never let her come at this time.

I stood up and opened the door, and saw Sen Ying holding a food box in her left hand and a thin quilt in her right hand, with a white satin skirt draped over it. She stood at the door and looked at me with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. I was so weak that I couldn't even lift my hands, so I just raised my chin to her and said, "Come in."

She helped me walk back to the table, opened the lunch box, and arranged the dishes one by one. She pushed a small bowl of Emerald Three Fresh Noodles in front of me and said tentatively, "Girl, do you want to eat?"

My hands were shaking a little, and I couldn't even hold the chopsticks, so I picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup. The hot soup went into my stomach, driving away the coldness, and I couldn't help but scoop several mouthfuls.
