The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom——Langya Pavilion

On the afternoon of August 16, although Ning Yongtang's small living room seemed to be crowded with people, the scene was very quiet, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Seeing that the elder lady was speechless after being scolded by Ye Ling, Su Su's aunt Zhou spoke with a motherly attitude: "Su Su, the reason your grandmother and I came here is entirely so that you can get married happily. A girl only gets this chance in her life. Sigh~ I still think of you as our daughter-in-law. Your cousin said that the position of the main wife must be reserved for you, but... things don't always go as planned!"

"Aunt, thank you for your kindness. Now I am going to marry Brother Mo, so there is no need to mention the past," Su Su replied gently.

"No need to mention it?" The elder lady was very unhappy: "You actually let an outsider beat your own cousin. You are really treasonous and heartless."

"Grandma, didn't you ask why my cousin was beaten? He was beaten because he wanted to... bully me," Su Su retorted.

"Lin'er already said that he was drunk and didn't do it on purpose. Why are you being so delicate?"

"Hehe..." Ye Ling laughed. "Old Madam, if that man from Langya Pavilion got drunk and bullied your daughter-in-law, wouldn't that be because she was too delicate? At her age, how could she have said that? Susu refused repeatedly, and Yuan Jialin's beastly nature took over. If it weren't for the former Sect Master's kindness that day, I would have killed him with a single blow."

"you dare?"

"Let him do it again and see if I dare."

"you…"

"Mother," Zhou came out to smooth things over again: "Envoy Ye is right, this child really deserves a beating. Susu, your aunt apologizes to you again, please don't take it to heart."

"This matter has passed. As long as my aunt doesn't mention it herself, no one will talk about it anymore," Su Su replied.

"That's good. Thank you for your generosity. Auntie... I have one more unwelcome request. You see, you're about to become the Sect Master's wife. Could you please speak up for your cousin and ask him to return to Langya Pavilion? We don't ask for anything. Being a captain shouldn't be a problem. We're family!"

"That won't do," Su Su flatly refused, "I'm from the inner court and cannot participate in the deployment of Langya Pavilion personnel."

"Hmph!" The elder lady was unhappy again: "You've climbed up the social ladder and don't take us seriously anymore?"

"Old Madam" Ye Ling couldn't help but speak up. "Susu is right. She doesn't have the final say in the appointment of Langya Pavilion personnel, and she's not allowed to participate. This matter falls under the jurisdiction of Ji Ruochen, the Ji Sishi of Tianzi Hall. However, he hates drunken teachers and probably won't use your grandson."

"You...you are so rude..."

"I'll say it again, my last name is Ye, and I'm an envoy of Langya Pavilion, not a maid." Ye Ling was also displeased: "Old lady, I really can't understand how you have the nerve to bully Susu, an orphan? Oh, I remember now, Susu's mother was forced by you to marry that old bastard from the Su family. What? Now you want Susu to follow her mother's path and marry another bastard?"

"Envoy Ye, I don't like what you said," Zhou said, "My son has always been excellent, and he reserved the position of wife for Susu. It wasn't us who changed our minds first."

"Aunt? Keeping the wife?" Su Su was also planning to use her big move. Her two months with Ye Ling had not been in vain. She immediately started to retort: ​​"I am not used to using things that have been used by others. I think it is dirty. Is it like the stallions in the back mountain of my grandfather? One stallion and a group of mares take turns using them. It's disgusting."

"How dare you!" The elder lady was very angry: "You are so outrageous, girl, and you dare to talk back?"

"Yes," Su Su said, hands on hips, full of momentum. "Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of anyone now. If you dare to provoke me, I'll fight back. I'm no longer afraid of offending anyone. If I can't treat you fairly, I'll pour out the water and smash the bowl too. No matter what I do, someone's going to be unhappy, so why not just make everyone unhappy!"

After these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Su Su, who was usually gentle and weak, had such a tough side!

Yuan Jialin couldn't sit still any longer and stood up. "Susu, I know I've wronged you. You can humiliate me however you want, but please don't bring up my grandmother and my mother. They are the elders. How can you be so unreasonable?"

"Bah!" Su Su immediately retorted, "If you're worried about your grandmother and mother being humiliated, then you shouldn't have let them come here to cause trouble. After all, you just want to go back to Langya Pavilion and ask me to plead for you. Why are you being so hypocritical here? Are you an actor? Acting?"

While Ye Ling was secretly delighted, he glanced at the back door and was speechless. He complained in his heart: These four old men also have a hobby of eavesdropping!

Su Su continued, "I'm truly grateful to my grandfather for teaching me how to read and write, which has helped me understand so many things. Otherwise, I would have always followed your instructions and jumped into the fire pit step by step."

"Susu, you can't say that! Isn't our Yuan family good to you?" Zhou was dissatisfied.

"Good? Aunt? How dare you say that? After mother passed away, I wasn't suffering so much, but you came and took away all of mother's dowry, causing me to be looked down upon by the Su family. From childhood to adulthood, I have only been to your house three times, and every time you and grandmother scolded me, saying that I was a jinx. Is this being nice to me? Then can I also call you a jinx?"

"That's enough." The elder lady didn't want to argue anymore and looked at Su Su angrily: "I don't know what Su Mu is thinking. What's the point of letting a woman study? In the end, she will still get married and have children. I won't let you read the female precepts and training when I have time."

Ye Ling laughed: "Old lady, I don't like to hear that. According to this logic, what's the point of you living so long? In the end, won't you still be buried in the ground?"

"Ye Ling, don't be so presumptuous." The elder lady stood up immediately.

Ye Ling's face was cold and oppressive. She used her inner strength to crush the two walnuts on the table into powder. Then she slowly released her grip. As the powder slowly fell to the ground, she said in a cold voice: "Old lady, I'm saving face for you. I hope you can grow your brain."

At this moment, Feng Qingyang and Su Mu covered Qian Qian's mouth at the back door. Su Mu warned in a low voice: "Don't talk. If you expose us later, it will be too embarrassing."

Jin Qian nodded weakly, wanting to cry but unable to. "I've been cultivating my palm beads for twelve years! And your female servant just crushed them into powder."

"Master Jin, let me be fair," Wu Kui, the leader of the Wulin Alliance, said as he fiddled with the cards in the courtyard. "Who told you not to bring it in and leave it on that table? Envoy Ye doesn't know about it."

"That's right, my disciple didn't mean it. This is your own fault," Feng Qingyang agreed.

"She just wanted to scare us. I understand. Besides, you won so much money from the three of us today. Be content," Su Mu also agreed.

At this moment, the winner had already been decided outside. Madam Yuan glared at Su Su and said, "You are ruthless, so don't blame us for being disloyal. From now on, the Yuan family will no longer care about you. Let's go."

Su Su remained calm and bowed slightly, saying, "Goodbye, Grandma, Aunt."

Before leaving, Yuan Jialin glared at Su Su and Ye Ling fiercely.

Su Su was still confused: "Sister, they just left like that? No way?!"

"They came here just to get Yuan Jialin into Langya Pavilion. There's no hope this time. What are they waiting for if they don't leave?"

"Why do you have to go to Langya Pavilion?"

"You are stupid. Yuan Jialin is not good at literature or martial arts. His father can't even protect himself now. Once he passes away, what will happen to the whole family, young and old? Who will support them? Just rely on the rent?" Ye Ling sat down and planned to pour himself a cup of tea.

"Oh my!" Jinqian suddenly rushed out and came to the walnut powder. "My darling! I've been working on it for over ten years, and it's gone just like that!"

Ye Ling was terrified. She quickly stood up and hid behind Mo Yufeng and Su Mu, who had come out with her. She tugged at Feng Qingyang's sleeve and said, "Master, help! I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know those two walnuts belonged to Master Jin!"

"It's okay, kid. He doesn't know martial arts and can't beat you. If he dares to cause trouble, you can crush him into powder." Feng Qingyang was as protective of his child as ever.

Ye Ling smiled helplessly: "Old Pavilion Master, you can't let that elder lady go like this, right?"

"She did it herself. Yuan Chu wrote to me yesterday saying that her mother was determined to come and make trouble, and that Susu's marriage would not go through. But unexpectedly, there was much ado about nothing. It was only after she left that things became peaceful." Su Mu said with an indifferent attitude.

Ye Ling pondered: Just leaving like that? That's too easy, isn't it?

Jinqian then stood up, still very sad, but before he could say anything, Su Mu pulled him into the inner hall to continue playing Pai Gow.

Ye Ling accompanied Su Su and Meng Jing back to the courtyard. She was still brooding over the Yuan family's affairs: Yuan Chu had been at Langya Pavilion for years, so he must have confidants. And Yuan Jialin was a frequent visitor, so... who were his people at Langya Pavilion? For the wedding to go wrong, someone would have to cause trouble!

Soon, night fell, and Langya Pavilion gradually returned to silence. A man in black entered Nangong Xuan's room. He did not salute, but said coldly, "Your Highness Prince Xian seems very leisurely!"

"Jia Luo" Nangong Xuan said: "If you come here like this, what if someone sees you?"

"Your Highness is so timid!"

Nangong Xuan rolled his eyes at Jialuo and said, "The day after tomorrow, Mo Yufeng will get married. After everyone goes to the Immortal Peak, you can go into Ning Yongtang to look for something."

"Your Highness, are you just going to talk?"

"You took the money, don't forget, you failed in your last business deal, which is why Ye Ling is still alive and has become a major concern for the Emperor."

"Ye Ling's reaction is even more powerful than Feng Qingyang's. Today, I just glanced at Ning Yongtang from a distance, but she noticed it. This matter is not easy to handle."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Ye Ling is much more difficult to deal with than Feng Qingyang. This woman appears to be a docile kitten, but in reality she is a wolf, ruthless and cruel. If she finds out that our Falcon Prison is operating in Langya Pavilion, then Langya Pavilion will deal with us."

"Are you still afraid in Falcon Prison?"

"We are not afraid of the imperial court, but we are afraid of Langya Pavilion. Your Highness, you'd better not underestimate this seemingly harmless Langya Pavilion. Once they get serious, it will not be a small fight. They will easily destroy our Falcon Prison. Goodbye." After saying this, Jialuo left through the back window.
