Chapter 197 - Let’s Talk (1/2)
“Me!” This was the first time Lan Wu uttered a word since she was kidnapped. Her voice was still slightly hoarse, “I’m laughing because I won’t die but you will!” Lan Wu knew her young miss won’t give up on her. Since this man has seen Gui San, then young miss will definitely come save her.
“Slut!” Zhang Han Tie, infuriated, wanted to slap Lan Wu, but before he could touch Lan Wu, his hand was impaled from behind by Lan You Nian using Lan Ren’s long sword. She stood in front of Zhang Han Tie, her expression icy, “You will die indeed!”
“Young miss…” Lan Wu looked at Lan You Nian, Lan Ren and Lan Feng, as well as Ming wang and An Yi who appeared For some reason, she wanted to cry.
An Yi, for the first time, without soliciting Feng Yi Xuan, came over to Lan Wu’s side to untie her, but An Yi didn’t dare to touch the chains running through her hands. He opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t utter a word. He could only coldly stare at Lan Wu’s hand.
Lan Wu could discern An Yi’s worry. She thought, this person was usually so cold, forbidding her from doing this and doing that, but she didn’t expect that at the crucial moment, he cared so much about her. Thinking this, Lan Wu’s heart warmed.
Lan You Nian ignored Zhang Han Lin who was rolling on the ground. Coming over to Lan Wu’s side, she checked the injury on her hands. She knew they must rip the chain out of Lan Wu’s hand, but it her pain will be doubled.
Lan You Nian patted Lan Wu’s hair, murmuring softly, “Bear with it. Close your eyes.”
Lan Wu believed in her young miss and obediently shut her eyes, clenching her teeth. Without blinking an eye, Lan You Nian ripped out the chain, followed by blood, from Lan Wu’s hand. Lan Wu fainted from the pain. An Yi’s heart ached and picked up Lan Wu in his arms.
“Take her back to You Nian Pavilion. Let Lan Qu bandage her up!” Lan You Nian said to An Yi. You Nian Pavilion had all types of quality medicine and Lan Qu was proficient in dressing wounds. Though Lan Wu’s situation appeared grave, with so many good medicines, recovery was only a matter of time.
An Yi nodded and said, “Wangye, wangfei, this subordinate withdraws!” Then disappeared from the village hut.
Only when An Yi carried Lan Wu away did Lan You Nian looked over at Zhang Han Tie, rolling on the ground. The smile on her lips seemed gentle but if you look at it carefully, it didn’t contain any warmth. Lan Ren and Lan Feng dragged Zhang Han Tie up as Lan You Nian used the chains that was taken out of Lan Wu’s hand and spiked it into Zhang Han Tie’s uninjured hand using inner force. She watched as Zhang Han Tie screamed, begging for mercy, but Lan You Nian remained unmoved.
When Lan You Nian took out her personal dagger to continue with the torture, Feng Yi Xuan covered up Lan You Nian’s eyes, “Nian Nian, it’s getting late. Hand it to me alright?” He was not feeling empathetic, but he really felt it was getting late, time for Nian Nian to sleep. Nothing is more important than Nian Nian.
Lan You Nian started and put away her dagger, nodding.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian nodd, his lips quirking, and picked up Lan You Nian to return to the manor to sleep. To Lan Ren and Lan Feng, he said “Take him to Ming wang manor. His torture is waiting there for him!”
From then on, Bao Hu Gang would no longer exist, because when Gui San left the forest, he received Lan You Nian’s message, “Eradicate Bao Hu Gang!” In the end, not only did Wu Qing Pavilion lay assault to Hu Bao Gang, even Ghost Realm silently helped eradicate Hu Bao Gang.
When Lan You Nian returned to the manor, she went directly to Lan Wu’s room. Lan Wu was already asleep, or she had fainted. Her injuries on her hand and body was already taken care of by Lan Qu. Both Lan Qu and An Yi were standing in Lan Wu’s room, one’s eyes were red and the other’s were cold.
“Young miss!” Lan Qu noticed Lan You Nian and wiped her blurry eyes, as if she found her pillar of strength.
“How is she?” Lan You Nian came over to Lan Wu’s bedside and took her pulse and had a rough idea of the situation. Knowing Lan Wu was fine, she sighed in relief.
“It’s just skin injuries. It’s fine!”Lan Qu said. It’d be false to say they’ve never been injured in all the years they’ve been following young miss. Just every month young miss’s poison relapse was more painful than anything they’ve suffered, so they didn’t feel any of injuries were painful.
Lan You Nian nodded and said to Lan Qu, “You can go rest!”
“But…” Lan Qu wanted to stand guard over Lan Wu; her heart couldn’t rest.
“Go, hm.” Lan You Nian said, glancing at An Yi. Lan Qu instantly understood. Recalling how An Yi carried Lan Wu back, Lan Wu nodded and withdrew.
“Can you help look after Lan Wu?” Lan You Nian asked. She wasn’t very sensitive to feelings, so she still wanted to respect An Yi’s wishes. If An Yi really had feelings for Lan Wu, it’ll certainly be more lively from then on.
“Many thanks wangfei!” An Yi bowed.
Lan You Nian smiled, nodding. It wasn’t certain whether this was fortune or misfortune.
Seeing everything was being handled, Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian away to rest. It was already halfway through the night…
~
Three days have passed since Lan Wu was kidnapped. Lan Wu’s body was much better. Besides her left hand that was a little inconvenient, she was fine. Being at leisure, Lan You Nian took Lan Qu to Ming wang manor. Though Lan You Nian was Feng Yi Xuan’s fiancee, women of the ancient era are subtle, so Lan You Nian and Lan Qu silently crept into Ming wang manor without anyone knowing.
As soon as Lan You Nian entered Ming wang manor, she noticed Ming wang manor’s subordinates genuinely grinning at her. Maybe it’s because of the apple from Christmas Eve that made these people like this wangfei even more, not in fear of wangye’s overbearingness, just simple admiration. Amongst these people there were many assassins who wouldn’t bat an eyelash while on a mission, but at the same time, they possessed the purest hearts.
“Where’s Xuan?” Lan You Nian asked Uncle Feng who walked beside her.
“Wangye hasn’t returned yet from the military camp. Should this old slave send someone to call wangye back?” Uncle Feng asked. Don’t think he’s being thoughtless, because in Ming wang manor, from the stewards at the top to the manservants at the bottom, who didn’t know that nothing was more important than wangfei. If wangye returned and knew they didn’t inform him, who knows how angry he’d be?
Lan You Nian shook her head, “No need to tell him. I’m only here to look around!” Lan You Nian knew if Feng Yi Xuan knew she came to Ming wang manor, he will drop everything and hurry back, because it wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened. If this continued, she would really become a calamitous beauty.
Though Lan You Nian normally appeared indifferent and serene, her aura was compelling. So Lan You Nian’s repute in Ming wang manor, though it can’t be said it’s the same as Feng Yi Xuan’s, but it measures up to the address of wangfei.
“Where’s the person from last night?” Lan You Nian asked An San who was accompanying her. Last night, Feng Yi Xuan said he’ll deal with him, so he was taken away. She trusted Feng Yi Xuan will take care of the matters, but glancing at Lan Wu beside her, she felt Lan Wu should personally come to take a look. Only this way can she vent her fury right?
“In the hidden prison. That person is tortured every day by An Yi, really unlucky!” An San said, taking joy from the other’s misfortune. Like wangye, An Yi normally likes to kill in one shot, but this time…An San glanced at Lan Wu, sure enough, even the hero becomes a prisoner of love!
“Let’s take a look!” Lan You Nian said and the three of them headed towards the hidden prison.
When the three of them arrived at the hidden prison, An Yi was currently torturing Zhang Han Tie. Seeing the three of them enter, An Yi bowed, “Wangfei!”
Lan You Nian nodded and then looked towards Zhang Han Tie. The palm of his hand was punctured through by Lan You Nian: the chain was now nailed to the wall. The blood of his injuries have already dried. Just with a slight movement, fresh blood would once again gush out from the wounds. His sleeves has already been stained blackish red by the blood. There weren’t any other injuries on Zhang Han Tie’s body, but what made the sight ghastly was Zhang Han Tie’s legs. They couldn’t be considered legs any longer, as they were completely bare, leaving only streaks of blood on the bones.
