Chapter 321 - The suicide of the groom
Chapter 321 The suicide of the groom
He Danggui was taken aback by the fierce meaning in his words. She frowned and asked, “Do I owe you something? I have no idea.” Did she ever do something bad to him?
“If you think what you have done is not counted...” Meng Xuan pulled out a silver hairpin on her head and stuck it in his chest. Instantly, a bright red flower appeared in the center of his white shirt. Meng Xuan was complacent. He gritted his teeth and sneered, “This time you see it yourself. You can’t ignore it, Xiaoyi.”
He Danggui was shocked. He pushed away Meng Xuan’s hand to examine the injury. She found that the silver hairpin was between his heart and lungs, which was exactly the same place in the Fantasy Dream! She asked furiously, “Meng Xuan, what does this mean?! Are you crazy?”
Meng Xuan laughed and lay down on the ground. He said crazily, “I have already been a madman. You just know it today? This time, remember clearly that you owe me a blood debt. Remember it clearly. Don’t forget it...” Then, he closed his eyes and whispered something. It seemed that he almost fell into a coma.
He Danggui crawled over nervously. She didn’t understand that why this would happen just after they have finished the rite and was enjoying the sweetness. She had even made up her mind to be his concubine when that day came. However, instead of kissing her or making out with her, the groom committed suicide! What was wrong with him?
He Danggui carefully unbuttoned his clothes and inspected the injury caused by the silver hairpin. However, Meng Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and put his arms around her waist. He whispered “If you dare to betray me, you will pay ten times for it. Believe me, you don’t want to see it.”
He Danggui felt as if there was a small snake on her ear. She struggled but couldn’t get rid of him. Meng Xuan, who was badly injured, still had brutal strong strength. So, she gave up struggling and fell on his chest. Threatening words like clod ice echoed, “I have lived for two lives, and I understand all the changes that will happen in the future. I can do a lot of things and take away a lot of lives, including Zhu Quan... Xiaoyi, from now on, you can’t care about any other man.”
He Danggui felt funny, but she was also angry. After all, Meng Xuan still regarded Zhu Quan as an imaginary rival. She tried to explain to him, but he refused to listen. This man was really awkward. Kill Zhu Quan? She didn’t care about it at all. She sat up and looked at the wound on Meng Xuan’s chest. She found that the hairpin didn’t hurt any organ. He was fine. She breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to find medicine and cloth for her groom.

But Meng Xuan clasped her waist tightly and said imperiously, “My blood oath has been taken. If I betray you, I will be punished with the death of heart breaking. Now it’s your turn!”
He Danggui’s eyelids twitched. What the hell! It was too ominous. So, she hurriedly told Meng Xuan with the most solemn attitude, “I will be your concubine and will not betray you. We don’t have to make such a terrible oath. Your blood oath will be deemed invalid. Meng Xuan, whether you are a good man or not and no matter how you treat me in the future, I don’t want you to be hurt.”
Meng Xuan refused, “No, no regrets! Xiaoyi, it’s your turn.” He put on a gentle mask again, “Make your oath today, the fourth day of the first month of the 31st year of Hongwu Period. It is the day we get married.”
He Danggui only felt that Meng Xuan, who always listened to her, was now uncontrollable. In fact, she had to listen to him now. So, she swore, “I will follow you no matter what your lot is. If I betray you in the future, I will…” She narrowed her eyes, thinking about the appropriate words. Did Meng Xuan really mistrust her? She really chose him from the bottom of her heart.
Suddenly, Meng Xuan pressed down on the back of her neck with one hand to let her lips touch his. His flexible tongue opened her teeth, dissipating the words she was about to say into a mouthful of heat.
Regardless of whether she took the initiative or not, she had counterattacked him once. She viewed it as the right of the winner of playing grass. At the same time, the red candles on the cabinet finally burnt out, but the kiss lasted longer until someone knocked at the door. Dou Jiang’s voice came, “Miss, are you awake? Madam Luo wants you to see a guest who comes here for you.”
He Danggui ended the long kiss and asked, “Who?” Was this guest the annoying Peng Shi?
“I don’t know. The person who came here didn’t make it clear, and I hurried to go to tell you. The guest seems to be your classmate. Now Madam Luo and him are having tea, and they both are waiting for you.” Dou Jiang said what the maid of Madam Luo told her.
The classmate in Chengxu Academy? Male or female? Why did the person come here during New Year? Was it because of the trial of Qian Mudan’s case? Did they want her to testify in court?
He Danggui glanced at the weak Meng Xuan on the ground and replied, “Dou Jiang, go to tell Madam Luo that I caught a cold when I slept in the Depositary of Buddhist Texts and I can’t get off the bed these days. If the guest is in a hurry, let he or she leave me a note. Besides, he or she can go to Guan’s Mansion to find Qing’er. She can help as well.” Today was her wedding day. Nothing was more important than looking after her husband. Qian Mudan was dead. How could the dead be more important than the living?
Dou Jiang remembered what her miss said. Then she replied yes and left.
Meng Xuan flush because of the raging kiss of this girl. After calming down, he helped her finish the oath, “If you betray me, you will ask me for joy every night and give birth to ten sons. What do you say?”
He Danggui got up with annoyance. She dragged Meng Xuan back to the bed to cure his wound. It didn’t take her much effort to handle the wound on the chest because the stabbing didn’t hurt any organs. However, when she removed the bandage on Meng Xuan’s left arm and looked at the sword wound, she found that it was still bleeding, and the flesh still turned inside out, as if it wouldn’t recover by wrapping with the cloth. He Danggui felt suspicious. This was not a usual cut.
Meng Xuan leaned on the pillow leisurely and praised her, “You did a good job just now. You will have to act like this when you encounter a similar situation in the future. You shall always put your husband first. Understood, Xiaoyi?” Looking at her small face on his arm, he nodded and smiled, “Then, in order to reward you for not seeing your classmate, you are allowed to serve me ten nights. How is it?” His right hand was reaching to her as he said so.
He Danggui blocked his hand and said angrily, “Be serious! Your left arm must be very painful. You know it is not an ordinary sword injury, but why don’t you tell me!”
Meng Xuan squinted his eyes and yawned, “That’s it. From tonight! We have the target of 10 sons! In other words, we will have one son every two years. Xiaoyi, you will at least meet the target at the age of 35... Of course, daughters are also necessary. We should have three daughters. By then... you would at least be 41years old.”
He Danggui first ignored this nonsense, considering that he was injured. However, after listening all the words, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you want more daughters? Does Meng’s Family prefer boys to girls seriously?”
Meng Xuan opened one eye and told her, “I’m afraid that all my daughters are like you. You almost got me killed. How many lives do you think your husband has for them to play with?”
“Well, I guess I should say thank you.” He Danggui put a silver flake on his wound for a moment. When she took it away, there was no sign of discoloration on it. It was really not poisonous. So, what was keeping this wound from recovering? She intentionally mentioned the most concerned issue, “I don’t want to make you work hard, so I won’t give birth to your children. Don’t you already have a son? I heard that she was a chivalrous girl. Her son must be like handsome and outstanding. You should come to her for more sons.”
With his eyes wide open, Meng Xuan asked, “Are you talking about Suxin?”
He Danggui raised her brows, “Are there any other women who had given birth to your children?”
Meng Xuan showed a funny expression and wanted to explain something. However, he rolled his eyes and asked, “Xiaoyi, are you jealous?” His Xiaoyi would also be jealous of the women who had given birth to his children.
“No. I’m only happy for you.” He Danggui said reluctantly, “I haven’t been a member of your family, yet you already have a son. I am so lucky to have a free son.” In fact, she had a bit of experience in looking after other women’s kids. She had even helped an enemy look after her son. Now she had complicated feelings when being jealous again.
Meng Xuan rubbed his chin and looked at her expression. He couldn’t figure out what she was thinking. She had a jealousy tone just now, but in a blink of an eye, she was like a good wife and a good mother. Was she really happy to look after a son of his concubine? Was this her real thought?
In this way, she was a sensible woman, knowing that once she entered her husband’s family, she would be connected to it. The family members would be all her relatives, and there would be no difference between them. From this point of view, she was actually a very traditional woman. Women would usually learn Law of the Ladies for literacy when they were five years old. Many of laws taught them to follow their husbands and respect their husbands’ other women. Therefore, although she was a little affected by the weirdo Liao Qing’er, she was still a sensible and traditional girl. He was a little relieved because he might have to marry Suxin as his concubine... However, he would still abide by the promises he made. He only needed Xiaoyi.
At the time, He Danggui suddenly changed her face and showed Meng Xuan the silver flake in panic, “Poisonous! Meng Xuan, you are poisoned!”
