Chapter 40: Regret
(If you are going to marry someone in the future, don’t forget that he once tied up your hair with ruffles)
Lanfeng and Wanxi went down to Wanshou Mountain and returned to Chunjiang Tower to rest for a few days. Then they went to the Su family's residence together, and Liu Huan followed them back.
Wan Xi was worried all the way, and she didn't know what to say when she met the two elders of the Su family. Not long after, the three of them came to the door. When the two nurses saw Wan Xi and Liu Huan coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Liu Huan said: "Go and tell the master and madam that the young lady is back."
One of the nursing staff responded and ran into the courtyard. Liu Huan also led Lan Feng and the other two into the courtyard. The three of them sat down in the lobby. Mrs. Su heard that Wan Xi was back and hurriedly came from the house to see her.
After arriving at Wanxi, the two embraced each other.
"My child, you have lost weight..." Mrs. Su said.
At this time, Mr. Su also entered the room. When he saw Wan Xi, he said, "Humph, you still know how to come back! I thought you would stay in Chunjiang Tower for the rest of your life!"
Just as he was talking, Mr. Su caught a glimpse of Lan Feng beside him.
"You are..." Mr. Su said while seeing the sapphire beads and wisteria gourd on Lanfeng's neck, "Child, are you Lanfeng?!"
Lan Feng stepped forward and saluted: "Lan Feng has met Uncle Su and met Mrs. Su."
The two elders of the Su family looked at each other and saw that Lan Feng had come back with Wan Xi. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. After a long time, Mr. Su sat on the chair and said: "Son, it's been seven years since you left. There have been many changes during this period.
It's not something we can predict..."
When Lanfeng heard these profound words, he knew what they meant. He had been away for seven years, but Wanxi had already made a marriage agreement with someone else. Originally, it was understandable that her parents ordered a matchmaker, but Wanxi didn't like that.
Zhao Peng, besides seeing Zhao Peng acting so domineering a few days ago, I can't let her fall into Zhao Peng's hands.
Lan Feng said: "Uncle Su, I know you have promised a marriage to Wan Xi. But marriage should be about mutual love. Wan Xi doesn't like each other. Besides, the temperament of Mr. Zhao, you should compare it with that of Mr. Zhao."
I know better. You and your wife love Wan Xi so much, why would you hand her over to that kind of person again?"
Mr. Su was a little angry when he saw that Lan Feng was so eloquent now that he had grown up. He said: "Son, it's time for boys to get married and girls to get married. Then the Zhao family and my Su family are good friends and have good business contacts.
. Now I even want to get married. They are a perfect match and it is perfect to get married." He paused and then said, "Lan Feng, I told you before you left that businessmen must be trustworthy. It's settled.
How can a marriage contract be changed at the drop of a hat?"
At this time, Wan Xi suddenly said angrily: "Dad! What do you think of your daughter? I don't want to marry that Zhao Peng, the person I like is brother Lanfeng! If dad doesn't agree, just think of me as your daughter!"
"
After that, Wan Xi grabbed Lan Feng's hand and walked out the door.
When Mr. Su saw this, he said angrily: "Come here! Arrest this unfilial daughter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of servants gathered around him. Seeing that Mr. Su had become so unreasonable, Lanfeng protected Wan Xi and ran out of the door while dodging the servants.
"Lan Feng!" Seeing Lan Feng's behavior, Mr. Su broke out and chased after him with his men. He shouted, "If I hadn't saved you seven years ago, you would have become a dead soul under the hands of the wild people.
Oh! Is this how you treat your benefactor?!"
Lan Feng ignored him and pulled Wan Xi out of the door coldly. The two of them thought that they could only go back to Chunjiang Tower to discuss the long term, but they didn't expect that Zhao Peng was leading a group of people outside the Su family's door to take the money.
surrounded them with long sticks,
It turns out that Zhao Peng had already planted spies in the city and was waiting for Wan Xi to show up. Unexpectedly, Lan Feng was also following him!
"What a little monk! You are so brave! You dare to steal my woman!" Zhao Pengbiao yelled.
Lan Feng smiled and said: "You guys, you guys, just hide among the crowd and show off your talents?"
This was when people from the Su family came up. Zhao Peng saw that Mr. Su was also coming with someone, so he stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Father-in-law, you are so polite."
"Bah! You are so shameless!" Wan Xi was furious when she saw Zhao Peng calling her father in this way.
"Madam, don't be angry. I won't marry you until your husband takes care of this wild monk!" Zhao Peng teased, "Here, give me a beating!"
At the command, Zhao Peng's men rushed forward and pulled the two apart. Wan Xi was pulled aside by the Su family's men.
"Brother Lanfeng!" Wanxi called to Lanfeng. When Lanfeng saw Wanxi being captured, Lanfeng became angry, and the evil fire that had not appeared for seven years surged up again.
For a moment, shadows of sticks appeared in all directions. Lan Feng used his anger to dodge with ease, but Lan Feng didn't know that every time he tried to use his anger to exert force, the evil fire would be suppressed by the beads on his neck.
There were so many people on the opposite side, and he also suffered some injuries during this back and forth.
There was another dodger. Lan Feng just wanted to stand up, but he didn't want to be hit on the calf by a sweeping stick. He suddenly lost his balance. Everyone danced with long sticks, interfering with their hands, and binding their legs. Lan Feng was immediately framed.
Falling to the ground, Lan Feng was caught, his face pressed against his chest, breathing heavily, his heart filled with anger, his whole body filled with anger, and those who were holding him back began to struggle!
What is the background of this kid? Master Su thought of Lan Feng who leaked the evil fire under the Fish Basket Guanyin seven years ago.
"Bang!"
A sap hit Lan Feng on the back of the head. Lan Feng was severely injured and knelt down. His anger dissipated. But behind him, he saw Zhao Peng holding a stick with a crooked smile on his face.
"Zhao Peng, you bastard!!" Wan Xi cried when she saw Lan Feng fall.
Zhao Peng had Lan Feng tied up and dragged him in front of Wan Xi, saying, "Madam, you can take a fancy to something like this?!" As he said that, Zhao Peng pulled out a dagger from his waist.
"Good things can't take too long. In my opinion, we will get married tomorrow. If you don't agree, I will kill this little monk today!" Zhao Peng said, and put the dagger on Lanfeng's neck.
Come on.
"Dad!!" Wan Xi looked at Mr. Su with red eyes, hoping that he could help Lanfeng, but she didn't expect Mr. Su to frown and look away.
Zhao Peng was smiling, but he didn't notice that a chill came from the wisteria gourd and wrapped around the dagger.
Lan Feng struggled and said: "Wan Xi! Don't agree to him!"
Seeing Lan Feng's stubborn words, Zhao Peng leaned the dagger forward again, grabbed Lan Feng's chin with his other hand and said viciously: "You wild monk, why do you argue with me? Let me tell you, this Shangao Emperor
Yuan, if Wan Xi hadn't been protecting you, I would have chopped you up and thrown you into the Tongtian River to feed the fish!"
"How about Wan Xi? Have you thought about it?!" Zhao Peng turned around and asked.
Wan Xi looked at Lan Feng kneeling in front of her, hesitated for a long time, then shed tears and said: "Okay...I promise you..."
"Wan Xi!!" Lan Feng said anxiously.
"Ah!" Zhao Peng was feeling proud, but there was a biting coldness in his hand, and he immediately let go of his hand. The dagger fell to the ground and shattered into pieces of ice. Although Zhao Peng was confused, he now smiled softly.
Since Xi promised himself, he didn't have time to think about it.
Zhao Peng threw Lan Feng over and said:
"Father-in-law, I will leave this boy to you. Please lock him up. I will release him tomorrow after I marry Wan Xi."
Mr. Su said: "I won't bother you, I will deal with him. Wan Xi, don't go back yet!"
Wan Xi broke away from her servant's hand and tried to help Lan Feng, but was stopped by Master Su.
"Liu Huan, you haven't brought the lady back to your room yet!" Master Su shouted.
Helpless, Wan Xi returned to the Su family's mansion angrily. Mr. Su saw Lan Feng tied to the ground and said: "Boy, you and I have settled the debt from that year. When Wan Xi gets married tomorrow, I will let her go."
Come out! Take it away!"
After that, the servants picked up Lan Feng and took him into the woodshed.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that Lan Feng heard the sound of someone opening the door. The person who came was Liu Huan, who brought him food and drinks. Liu Huan lit a lamp and saw Lan Feng tied to the ground, so he stepped forward to help him up.
At the top of the pillar, she brought the food to Lan Feng. But Lan Feng was not in the mood to eat. He asked, "Sister Liu Huan, how is Wan Xi?"
Liu Huan saw that Lan Feng was not in the mood to eat, so he put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "Miss is under house arrest now. There are seven or eight servants guarding the outside of the house. I also sent the dinner. He asked me to get you more food. I'm afraid that
You are starving."
Lan Feng sighed: "It's all my fault. I thought Uncle Su was a sensible person, but I didn't expect that he would push his daughter into a pit of fire."
"You can't blame the master for this," Liu Huan said, "The Zhao family has a monopoly on all the merchant ships on the Tongtian River. Our master often relies on the Zhao family for incoming and outgoing goods in business, so..."
Liu Huan paused and then said: "I watched Miss grow up. I knew she had a heart for you, but what's the use? Our daughter's family has many choices in this world, and I am also worried now.
Miss, if you marry that young master of the Zhao family, your life will probably be over."
Liu Huan exchanged some pleasantries with Lan Feng, and seeing that Lan Feng still had no appetite, he put the food on the ground and left.
Lan Feng was upset, looking at the lights outside the window, and tightened the potpourri sachet in his hand. He was still useless, Lan Feng thought, maybe this relationship was destined to be fruitless, so what if he didn't go to Jinshan Temple? He
He's just a poor boy, dressed in cloth and unable to tie a chicken.
He remembered what Kui Mulang said to him, could he really only go so far?
I remember that when I came down from Jinshan Temple, I told Abbot Kongxiang that I wanted to enter the world to find this way to escape from this world. But now, I am still trapped by love, and I don’t have the mood to escape from this world...
Late at night, when Wan Xi saw that she was under house arrest, she was so angry that she smashed things in the room. However, after a while, she smashed all the objects around her, so she stopped and sat down on the bed.
She shed tears while looking in the direction of the woodshed. Is this it? She had waited for seven years and finally found her beloved back, but she couldn't stay together. Thinking deeply, Wan Xi only felt hot.
He rushed up, yelled, and ruffled his hair with his hands.
However, the fever did not subside, and Wan Xi felt that her throat was dry again, so she asked Liu Huan to bring tea. However, drinking one pot did not quench her thirst, so she drank six or seven more pots before she regained her breath.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why do you drink so much water?" Liu Huan asked.
Wan Xi shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm upset. Sister Liu Huan, can you help me go to Sister Yi Zhu to ask her for help? Maybe she has some way to save me?"
