Dragon Flies Phoenix Dances, Chapter 10: The Unwelcomed Third Master Long's Mistress...
The Third Master Long stares at Feng Ning, who also stares back.
The Third Master Long said, "Are you going to listen or not?"
"Not." She was deservedly gritting her teeth.
The Third Master Long was just about to open his mouth to continue, when Feng Ning snatched up again and asked, "Did that pig husband sleep in a room with you afterwards?"
"Feng Ning!" the Third Master Long shouted.
Feng Ning stood up and said loudly, "Why don't you put up a plaque with the word 'pigsty' on it at the entrance of your yard? She just couldn't take the breath and was so pissed off.
The Third Master Long was anxious and stood up as he slapped the table: "Who was the one who promised she would not pursue the past and talk about the past?"
"It's the pig, motherfvcker, if you're not satisfied, go talk to the pig." Feng Ning had a strange voice when she screamed: ''Who would have expected the old stories to be so wonderful? It's a good thing I've lost my memory or I'd still be kneading around like dough. If I've done something wrong, I'll take the blame, and you guys will look like victims. I understand now that there is a reason for what I have done, and shall I not repay you for treating me like this?"
"Are you being reasonable?"
"Speaking." Feng Ning nodded hard, then really started to reason, "Speak for yourself, you married me, I don't care if you like it or not, gladly or not, but after marriage, were you not supposed to be good to me?"
".......” The Third Master Long froze for a moment and shrilled for a while, "You have not been treated badly in terms of food and shelter, and you have servants to serve you......."
With a wave of his hand, Feng Ning interrupted him and then asked, "Do you know what color clothes I like to wear?"
"......" He looked at what she was wearing now, it was aqua blue.
"You know what I like to eat?"
The Third Master Long's mind floated was the dish that had just been served at the Zhenwei Building, he really hadn't noticed her before in the mansion.
Seeing that he was speechless, Feng Ning "grunted" and asked, "Do you know what I like to play with?"
The Third Master Long's eyes drooped as he saw the kite and small wooden doll she had placed there on the table, Feng Ning yelled at him, "You don't know anything, you're still my husband, how can you be a human husband? You're so mean, I'm ashamed of you."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got and ran off with a twist of her head. When she came out of the door, she ran into the Second Master Long, and she glared at him hard, staring the Second Master Long in bewilderment.
The Second Master Long came through the door and asked, "What happened to that crazy woman?"
The Third Master Long was still a little bit out of it, obviously she was sorry for him, how could she be ashamed of him, and most importantly, what she said, he actually felt unable to refute. He looked up at the Second Master Long and shrugged, somewhat helplessly, "She threw a tantrum."
"I know she threw a tantrum, that loud voice, could hear it from a distance."
"I told her about the respect and she got angry.” The Third Master Long picked up the wooden doll on the table and pondered, what kind of sickness can turn a person's entire nature around?
The Second Master Long who was the eldest child of them was not pleased: "Does this work for you? Madam Yu told me today that he still wanted to hire someone to do the job, but he didn't know what was happened to her. You got close to her, and you better keep your mind sharp, and you won't end up with her."
"I know it in my heart.” The Third Master Long has been walking around the world and has read countless people, but he thinks he can see it clearly. He pushed the wooden doll, watching it bob its head on the table, and said, "She says more when she doesn't know who I am than when she talks to you and Madam in the mansion. You didn't see her face at the time, and she said that if she was sincere, she would be rewarded, and I see that she is sincere in her desire to get along well with this family.” Thinking about it, he frowned and went to poke the wooden doll again: "At least now this Feng Ning is sincere."
The Second Master Long cautioned: "I'm afraid she will remember the past and will have a bad heart. Anyway, you take extra care in case she has any evil reservations."
"It's natural, don't we have our own reservations."
The Second Master Long nodded, the three brothers each had their own strengths, the Third Master Long made a living as a traveling performer and dealt with the people from all trades and all kinds of people, sometimes he was better than them at handling these weird things. He said to the Third Master Long, "Then this matter is up to you, I have to go out tomorrow, it is estimated that it will be ten days and a half months before I return, let me tell you first, what the mansion wants, you keep an eye on it first."
The Third Master Long said yes, the two brothers chatted again, the Second Master Long left, the Third Master Long looked at the wooden doll and summoned the boy: "Go and tell Third Mistress in the courtyard that when I am in the courtyard, let Third Mistress come to my courtyard for meals. The kitchen side doesn't need a list to send her meals over."
The little man led the way, and the Third Master Long poked the wooden doll and gritted his teeth, "Anymore fierce, no more food for you."
Early the next morning, the Third Master Long was practicing when Feng Ning arrived. "Why so early?" he was surprised. Feng Ning pouted and sat on the stone chair in the courtyard: "Didn't you say I had to come here for meals?"
The Third Master Long looked at her in amazement, looked at her and laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?" Feng Ning was very unhappy.
"Are you still angry?" the Third Master Long put his sword away and went back to the house to change his clothes and came out to see her still grimacing.
"You're going to try it with a pig?"
The Third Master Long rubbed the corner of his forehead, "Well, I'll make it up to you on this one."
Feng Ning "hummed" and asked, "When will we have food?" The topic changed, the Third Master Long couldn't help but laugh again, and Feng Ning glared at him again: ''Still laughing? I tell you, I wouldn't have wanted to share a table with you if it wasn't for the fact that the food could be plenty for two people."
"Yes, yes, thanks for the reward, I'll make sure they make more delicious, richer dishes."
Feng Ning muttered, "That's more like it."
This day's breakfast was quickly sent to the Third Master Long’s courtyard at the urging of the Third Master Long, which was really better than what Feng Ning ate alone in the courtyard.
The Third Master Long had now adapted to her way of thinking and didn't feel like laughing, so Feng Ning's next words were: "If you're at home, I can eat with you."
"Yes, yes.” The Third Master Long shouldered, unable to resist being made to laugh the whole time by her satisfied expression.
The two sat together again after the meal, talking about yesterday's unfinished business. The Third Master Long avoided her and the Second Master Long guarded her, and the First Master Long Master took his wife and son to live elsewhere, which Feng Ning could not care for.
Feng Ning commented while eating a small snack, "This insecurity is your family's own feeling, maybe I'm not that bad." After a while, she said, "You see, you're ignoring me, I can be good, maybe it's to get your attention, to show I really care about your home."
The Third Master Long seized her zero-mouth box: "Are you going to listen or not?" She can't even stop talking while eating. He bought her something for nothing.
"I’m listening, you go on." Feng Ning snatched the box back for a hug and turned to attack a plate of grapes on the side.
So the Third Master Long went on. After a long time, Feng Ning lost patience and the Third Master Long was often not at home, so she started to show her love to the Second Master Long, making snacks, making tea, and inviting him out for fun.
During the first six month Feng Ning then returned home, the Long Family still had some expectations, hoping that the unpleasantness from her first six months at the Long Mansion would discourage her from coming back, but unexpectedly, Feng Ning, who had been pampered white and fat at home, returned.
This time back, she's noticeably more restrained in her demeanor, but liked to run away, but has taken an interest in the Long Family's estate and family secrets. At that time, the rumor of the Long Family treasure began to spread outside, and the Third Master Long also began to encounter some trouble outside, and everyone's attention was focused on the thieves and neglected the situation of the family. One night, Feng Ning stole the Long Family's treasure and absconded. Fortunately, the Long Family found out about it early and traced it all the way to the Lianhe River outside the city.
The Long Family rescued her at the Lianhe River, where she hit her head and lost her memory. She thought and thought and asked, "Third Master Long, by your suspicions, did my family send me to steal the treasure?"
The Third Master Long sulked for a moment, "This could be. Your family will be disappointed if they don't get any benefits from your marriage. It's a coincidence that you've been to your home for so long, and after you came back, word of the heirloom treasures in our Long Family spread among the outsiders."
"Did you get in trouble out there from that time on?"
The Third Master Long nodded.
"What kind of trouble is it?"
"Assassination attempts. I was attacked several times, but not every time it was related to this." After all, he had been a troublemaker before, which he knew he still had.
"Oh." Feng Ning remembered that Xiao Qing had said that the Third Master had hit his head in the attack. "Is there any clue as to what happened to you?"
"Yes, there is.” The Third Master Long took out a box, opened it and took out a knotted rope: "This is from a fight where I chopped off the wrist of the assassin who led the assassination attempt. That one time, I think it was directed at the Long Family."
Feng Ning took it and looked at it carefully. The knotted rope was made of several strands of colored silk rope, like an ornament, or a token? As if to see what she was thinking, the Third Master Long said, "The others didn't have this on their wrists, only that one does. It shouldn't be some sort of organizational token."
Feng Ning nodded, in her opinion, it was more like a woman made up trinkets to give to her lover or something to remember her by. The Third Master Long said, "I won't lie to you, Madam Yu always thought that the time I was seriously injured had something to do with you, she searched everything in your room and didn't find any evidence, that's all."
"No wonder she doesn't like me so much." Feng Ning skimmed her mouth and was upset in her heart. How could she do such a bad thing, just stealing something, she would never be able to do such a vicious thing as committing adultery and murder with someone.
But those few nights Feng Ning didn't sleep, she pondered one thing. It's not why she stole it or for whom, but how she stole it.
The more she thought about it, the more wrong she felt, if she was prying into the hidden treasure, shouldn't she have a map or prepare tools or something, she knows martial arts, what about her weapons? The room was clean as a normal lady's room, not even a dagger in sight.
She rolled over and sat up, rummaging around the house, it was impossible for a person who had been scheming for so long to leave not a clue in the house. Then if Madam Yu may not have found it, but maybe she hid it well. She quietly checked every corner, the bottom of the cabinet, the desk, the box, the bed, and there was nothing.
Feng Ning looked around, her gaze fell on the jewelry box, she walked over and opened it, it was just a simple rectangle box, it contained several ornaments, Feng Ning weighed it, there was nothing wrong to the weight, but the whole room was searched, only this box was not checked carefully. So she poured it out, ran her hands over it, looked it up and down, and found that the bottom of the box was a little off-color. She reached out and gouged her hand, she was actually able to remove the bottom. A few strands of silk had fallen out of it.
Feng Ning looked and froze.
The author has something to say: Feng Ning has found an important clue, can you guys guess it?
