Dragon Flies Phoenix Dances, Chapter 12: The Night Misfortune Third Master Long's Mistress...
Feng Ning was in a good mood for a while, but there was one who didn't wait for her to be arrogant for too long, and her "loser,” husband soon appeared. The Third Master Long is not as savage as Feng Ning, so he won't smash things or beat people up. He only stares at Feng Ning with his inquiring eyes.
"You say, what the hell has happened to you?"
What was there to say, Feng Ning threw her head aside unable to admit that she was taking her anger out on him. In fact, when the Third Master Long came over to ask for help, Feng Ning began to feel weak. She is now a suspect in the attempted murder of her husband, and she is ashamed of others knowing of it, but things can't be said, she's blocked and her heart and lungs are unbearable.
The Third Master Long hugged his arms to his chest and added, "I admit that unlike the old days, I don't think you have a bad heart, but that doesn't mean you can be capricious in our Long Family turf. Who do you think you are when you come to my yard for no reason?"
His tone was as usual, with no sullen expression on his face, but Feng Ning just knew clearly that he was really angry. She panicked in her heart, but even then she could not dared say what happened to her, the clues she found she could not really say, she bit her lip, stubbornly not speaking.
The Third Master Long stared at her for half a moment and coldly said, "If you don't want people to get bored with you, just don't be unreasonable."
His words stabbed at her heart like a knife, and she didn't know what to say, but he turned and walked away.
Feng Ning looked at his back and suddenly felt that the spiritual energy she had saved up in the past was gone. . No one accompanied her for dinner that day. The food was delivered to her small courtyard. Feng Ning didn't dare to ignore the simplicity of the dishes, she was like a child who had made a mistake and fidgeted.
Feng Ning is a person who can't hide her heart, she can't sleep well at night, she thinks about the things she has done in the past two days, she made a deal with the Third Master Long not to lie and not to hide, they will find the truth together. But she had a clue, and she's keeping it from him; she's a dishonest person, which makes her depressed. But it wasn't enough for her to be cranky herself and run back to take her anger out on him, she thought back, did she embarrass him in front of the people below?
The more Feng Ning thought about it, the more she felt that she had made a mistake and felt that she should do something to redeem her friendly relationship with the Third Master Long. Thinking this, she couldn't lie down, she dressed and ran to the Third Master Long's yard to knock on his room door.
The Third Master Long was draped in a single coat, scattered hair answering the door, and he was clearly asleep. Seeing that it was Feng Ning, he looked at her without much expression: "What is it?"
Feng Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I am here to make amends."
The Third Master Long gave a "um" and said back, "I'm listening."
It didn't make Feng Ning too happy that he was so high-minded as to not give her a leeway. She ducked her head and looked at his shuffling bare feet and was tempted to step on them, but she moved her toes and resisted. She muttered, "I shouldn't lose my temper, I shouldn't make you lose face in front of your subordinates, I shouldn't have kicked you, I shouldn't lift your table....."
The Third Master Long was a bit surprised when he stared at the top of her hair and cleared his throat, "Then tell me, what is the reason you are making such a nonsense?
Feng Ning froze, how could he apologize and analyze the reason? But what about the reason for her tantrum, which is undisclosed? She looked up at the Third Master Long, who was staring at her and waiting for her words. She was fidgeting and finally said: “I'm jealous. I went to the Biyi pavilion and met the Qin Ya Yin, and she showed me her lover token, I... of course I got angry. When I got angry, my head gets hot, and when I got hot, I want to find you... so... "
"This is the reason?" the Third Master Long hooked a wide smirk at the corner of his mouth and smiled badly, "Really jealous?"
Feng Ning felt that the youngest child was unhappy, but this would be the same as wanting to make up, so she could only admit it with her head nodding: "Hmm." She thought about it and then added, "This... Xiao Qing saw it too, she can testify. So you'll just forgive me and I won't be so rambunctious next time."
The Third Master Long's smile deepened as he reached out to caress Feng Ning's face, warm fingertips rubbing against her skin, Feng Ning only felt her cheeks tingling and goosebumps rising at his touch, but she stiffened up and didn't dare to move.
The Third Master Long smiled lightly as he watched her reaction, and he gently attached himself to her ear and said, "Come back to me when you're willing to be honest with me." He pushed her out gently and closed the door to the room.
Feng Ning stared blankly at the tightly closed door of the house, dumbfounded. It took a while to react to the fact that her own lies had been uncovered, and she was unable to express her frustration, and it took a while before she said through the door panel: "Don't be so stingy, I only have you as a friend who can talk......."
Unfortunately, there was no one inside the door to answer her, and Feng Ning stood dumbfounded for a while, sadly bowing her head and walking away.
Two days later, the Third Master Long did not see Feng Ning again, as he had said, and Feng Ning was furious in return for a cold shoulder, which was naturally unpleasant. But she thought twice about it, thinking that she still couldn't talk to the Third Master Long about it, and she resolved to look into it herself first, in case things weren't as bad as she thought and the killer was actually someone else, then she could still get along with the Third Master Long with a straight face. She was so attentive to Xia'er's movements that she planned to find her once she was well enough to get out of bed.
Unexpectedly, things were still not as good as hers. The next day in the evening, Feng Ning hears that Xia'er has not been well and that her family has come to take her home to recuperate, and Xiao Qing told Feng Ning that Xia'er's family has taken this opportunity to redeem the deed of her servitude.
Feng Ning was startled and rushed to the side door of the Long Mansion, where a rude carriage was parked, a young man in charge of the carriage, an old woman waiting beside the carriage, Xia'er and several maids embraced together, as if to say goodbye, Feng Ning rushed forward, but did not know what to do, this situation is really inappropriate to inquire about anything.
The people were shocked to see Feng Ning arrive, they stopped talking, the old woman came to urge Xia'er to get into the car, Feng Ning looked at the man who was holding the car, and then looked at the old woman and Xia'er.
Xia'er bent down to give a salutary greeting and whispered, "Thank you Madam for your concern." She stood up, but her legs and feet were weak, a stumble and a near fall, Feng Ning subconsciously reached out to hold her, but she did not expect that, the moment Xia'er held her arms close to her, the servant very softly and quickly said: "You are not the real Third Master Long's Mistress, run."
Before Feng Ning could look back, Xia'er had already taken two steps backwards and was helped into the car by the old woman, and the man in charge of the car quickly raised his whip and drove the horse, and the three of them quickly left. Feng Ning stood there dumbfounded, watching the carriage disappear, suspecting that the words she had just heard were an illusion.
She's not the real Third Master Long's Mistress, so who is she? Isn't she the Third Master Long's Mistress, so this place full of people in the Long Mansion are lying? How could this be done?
Feng Ning moved to the house one step at a time, walking and walking, and even heard the Third Master's hearty laughter. It was harsh, accompanied by his laughter, and a woman's laughter. As soon as Feng Ning looked up, it turned out that she had arrived at the Shilang Garden. The Third Master Long was leading a young woman outside, and the two of them were talking and laughing and seemed to be having a good time.
Feng Ning followed far behind and watched the Third Master Long walk a woman to the gate, hugging his fist and making a salute, "In that case, I'll leave it to Lady Yuan."
"Don't worry, Third Master Long, I will definitely live up to my promise.” That what? Yuan Maiden boldly hugged her fist and left with a farewell.
The Third Master Long turned back and looked at Feng Ning from afar as he held the corridor pillar and looked at him with bewildered eyes, and walked over to her and said, "The small stone table in my courtyard has been replaced with a new one, do you want to lift it again?"
Feng Ning was not pleased with his flirtatiousness, and she muttering back, "If you are willing to make peace, I can also go and lift it again."
"How can I make peace with you when you won't even tell the truth? You want to be the cold-hearted Third Mistress like the old self, I'll naturally follow you.” The Third Master Long finished and walked away slowly.
Feng Ning stood against the corridor pillar, thinking in her heart that if she told the truth, not to mention reconciliation, I'm afraid he wouldn't even want to look at her squarely. Besides, what does Xia’er mean when she says she's not the Third Master Long's Mistress?
Feng Ning quietly inquired about Xia'er's whereabouts after she left the Long Mansion, but heard that she was from a foreign county and should have left the capital directly. She dragged Xiao Qing around the city with her again, trying to retrieve a glimmer of memory, unfortunately every place was foreign to her.
But Feng Ning didn't expect it, and two days later, a great opportunity came, and Feng Ning received a letter with the words, "To know the truth, see you at the Lianhe River. I venture to tell the truth, and do not speak of it again.” The letter is signed by Xia’er.
Feng Ning calculated in her heart, the sky was still bright at this time, so she would go early and return early, so that she could still return before the city gate closed. Xia'er couldn't do anything to her because she didn't know martial arts, so if something was wrong, it was always okay for her to run away.
So Feng Ning found an excuse to say that he was uncomfortable and had to go to bed early, but it was the same old way, and sneaked out the Long Family Mansion over the wall. She hurried all the way, and at the gate of the city happened to see the elder brother of the gatekeeper that day, greeted him and passed.
Feng Ning was not bad at knowing the way, although she had only walked once, but the way she remembered clearly, and before it was even time they arranged, she was already standing on the high embankment of the Lianhe River. The sound of the river slapping its banks made her dizzy, and she didn't dare to look in the river, but stood far away, looking around for someone.
The only thing she saw after looking for a while was a few fishermen carrying firewood in their nets and bamboo baskets and walking towards the city. She walked for some time, did not see anyone, and was thinking about whether or not to turn back, when she suddenly heard a scream that could not be distinguished between men and women, followed by someone shouting at the high embankment upstream: "Someone come, there is the Young Lady in the water, someone come......."
Feng Ning's first reaction was this was Xia'er, she did not think carefully and subconsciously ran in the direction of the sound, the river, a young woman struggled, but the more she struggled, the more she sank to the bottom of the river, it was Xia'er, Feng Ning saw this scene, a dizziness encompassed her, as if the river water rolled up to drag her down. Her whole body was rigidly fixed on the spot, too late to shift her eyes, too late to make any movement, a strong force came from behind her and pushed her hard into the river.
Feng Ning couldn't even scream, she was already drowned by the cold river water, her nose, mouth and ears were all rushed by the river water, she couldn't breathe out, her chest was about to explode, her limbs were unconsciously dancing and struggling, she was pouncing, through the river water, she saw a man's figure distorted and blurred by the water waves, and quickly disappeared on the bank.
Feng Ning did not want to die, but the icy cold water dragged her downward, and that biting fear surrounded her tightly, her limbs were heavy, her head was dizzy, the whole person seemed to be cut into pieces by the river water, the pain was getting worse and worse, her consciousness was about to dissipate, she only felt her body was about to split open, the darkness was eroding her.
The air rushed into her lungs, Feng Ning subconsciously opened her mouth wide and breathed hard, her limbs struggled, she didn't want to die so inexplicably. A voice shouted in her ear, "Feng Ning, it's me, it's me, don't you be afraid, don't panic......."
Feng Ning's mind was not clear, she could not react to who it was, she only knew that at the moment she was the one on the verge of death grabbing the driftwood, she held on to the other side and fought to raise her head upwards, she did not want to go into the water again, she was afraid.
