Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter-Chapter 275 - Meng Xuan was desperate
Chapter 275 Meng Xuan was desperate
He Danggui was angry and amused. She waved her little hand to Meng Xuan and said, “Uncle Meng, you will be eighteen or nineteen years old in three years. Are you ashamed to ask me, a seven-year-old kid, such questions? The person who turned against you is me in three years. I don’t know anything about it now. Are you unreasonable to do this?” Feeling the tighter arms around her, she became helpless. She nodded and said, “Well, if you want an answer, I’ll tell you. You are nice and treat me very well, but I don’t love you. What should I do?”
Meng Xuan didn’t believe it, and shook his head. “Don’t be angry with me on purpose. If you didn’t fall in love with me, you would not marry me. Xiaoyi, our time is precious, so don’t be angry with me. Let’s talk it over.”
He Danggui asked, “Talk it over? Do you want me to follow you to persuade myself in three years? No way.”
“You can’t go three years later.” Meng Xuan opened his neckline and motioned her to look inside. “Traveling through time and space cost me dearly. I can’t bear to make you suffer like that. I just want to come back and change history, so that you can marry me from now on. Be my wife, and we...”
“What’s that?” He Danggui screamed and interrupted him when looking at the deep blood-red hole in his chest that didn’t bleed outward. The hole was as big as a fist and placed in the center of his heart and lungs. He Danggui quickly patted his head with her little hand and exclaimed, “You have suffered such a serious injury, and why are you still holding me? Put me down quickly, and I will treat you!” With this, she touched the needle sleeve on her left wrist. She was surprised to find that as her body became smaller, the needle sleeve and the silver needles inside also became three or four times smaller, becoming “child-specific” needles.
Meng Xuan took away the little hand that patted his eyes and looked at her softly with a smile, “You never say uncle. Obviously, you care about me so much, and you love me. Xiaoyi, look at my eyes.”
He Danggui was anxious, “Stop it. I will heal your injury first. If you die, what is the point of whether I like you or not?”
“Don’t worry, this injury won’t kill me. It’s just that I was hit by a small stone while passing through a long black tunnel. It will be fine in a few months.” Meng Xuan calmed her and said, “Besides, although I was injured in spirit, it’s my body that really hurts and bleeds. The spirit cannot heal, and it isn’t painful.”
He Danggui did not give up, “My Yunqi Acupuncture can bring the dying back to life. How can you know if you don’t try it? Maybe I can heal your spirit, so your body will heal. You see, I can touch you with my hand, so the silver needle will definitely pierce you. Let’s try it!”
As she spoke, she twisted and tried to get down, so Meng Xuan had to obey her and sat on the ground as she ordered. Then He Danggui drew out a silver needle of the largest size and pierced it on him. A strange thing happened. The body of the real Meng Xuan could not be pierced with the silver needle. Wherever she pierced, his body became transparent. She could see the black paved path behind him. The transparent part of his body maintained for a while. After only a few attempts, Meng Xuan’s body “disappeared” partly, which looked very strange.
He Danggui frowned and asked, “What’s the matter? Did you feel my silver needle prick you, Meng Xuan?”
Meng Xuan nodded and wanted to say something, but the blood had already flowed out before he said. When he saw that she was frightened, he wanted to comfort her, but he vomited more blood when he opened the mouth. He Danggui was shocked, and stretched out her hand to touch him. She felt as if she went into a pool of autumn water. The coldness penetrated into her skin, but she couldn’t touch Meng Xuan at the end of the pool, as if there was a long distance between him and her.
Meng Xuan closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a moment. Then he finally could speak. His voice became far away, as if he and she were really separated by mountains and rivers, “Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyi. My time is used up, and I get in touch with the reality, so I feel pain gradually. My fourth uncle and... Qi Xuanyu worked together to send my spirit back three years ago. Fourth Uncle told me that once there was an invisible water curtain covering me, I would go back after a while.”
He Danggui was dumbfounded. She felt that her head was suddenly immersed in the cold water. Was Meng Xuan, who came from three years later, about to leave? She didn’t know what to say. With such precious time, what questions did she want to ask Meng Xuan in three years?
Meng Xuan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said, “Xiaoyi, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you anything I know.” He coughed up blood and said, “Three Years later, the San Qing Tang of your Luo’s Mansion is still for the official medicine. Your elder cousins Luo Baiqian and Qi Chuan...”
“Okay, stop it!” He Danggui interrupted him, feeling a little bit sorrow. Somehow, tears streamed down her cheeks in an instant. She took off her handkerchief and covered her face. Then she sobbed and blamed him, “You fool, why do you come to see me? It’s so dangerous to go through time and space. You come back in vain, and I waste your time…” She blew her nose and asked, “What do you want to say?”
She roughly estimated that Meng Xuan was one of the best among the young masters in martial arts in the world, and he was so diligent that his martial arts would be even higher in three years. Even so, he suffered a serious injury, which showed how dangerous the actual situation of “being hit by a small stone while passing through a long black tunnel” was. He paid such a painful price to see her. Why?
With her eyes wide open, she looked across the flowing water curtain to see the sword that Meng Xuan had just used to shave his hair. The stainless-steel scabbard was worn and there were many deep pits on it. It could be seen that he arrived here after a fierce battle with the “killing flying stones”. Damn it, how could she not notice it at all just now?
Meng Xuan smiled and comforted her, “My injury is not serious. It will be healed in a few months, and there will be no future troubles. If you are willing to forgive me and come back to me, then you will rejuvenate me. I want to be with you to be a hundred years old and watch the beauty of the world together. As long as you are willing to come back to me, I am absolutely reluctant to die. Xiaoyi, you will forgive me, right? Are you willing to marry me from now on and never leave me?”
He Danggui blew her nose and was stunned. Meng Xuan sacrificed so much for her. Would she like to marry him when she finished the dream, and be one of his five concubines? Would she like to share a husband with other women? She instinctively rejected this idea. She just wanted to shook her head to refuse. Suddenly, she saw Meng Xuan’s always energetic face pale as white paper, with big cold sweat oozing out, as if he was going to die. She cried out loud, and shouted, “Your heart pulse has been beaten! Your heart pulse must have been beaten! When you go back, look for me. I will help you heal your wounds, oh!” 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
Meng Xuan vomited blood, and asked unwillingly, “Will you marry me now... Don’t leave me, okay?”
He Danggui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and nodded twice. If she didn’t leave him, he wouldn’t return to look for her three years ago, and he wouldn’t suffer so much... Qi Xuanyu was good at acupuncture, and he brought Zhu Quan back to life... He Danggui stared suddenly and shouted, “Qi Xuanyu has excellent medical skills. Ask him to save you!” Sixteen years later, Qi Xuanyu was able to save Zhu Quan. Then, three years later, Qi Xuanyu might also be able to save Meng Xuan!
Meng Xuan grinned. After he thought for a moment, he explained to her, “I don’t like the three concubines I married before. One is the daughter of an assistant director chosen by my mother, and married me an as a maid. Then, when I went back to the capital to report on work during the Spring Festival, my mother hosted a flower viewing banquet at home and deliberately let me see the bare feet of a miss. I originally refused to accept the miss. But that year, I missed you so much and didn’t dare to go to Yangzhou City to see that you have fallen in love with Childe Duan. And that miss, by coincidence, looks a bit similar to you, so I was obsessed for a while. And the last one...”
Just at this moment, he coughed violently, and a lot of blood sprayed on the water curtain on his side. He Danggui cried, shook her head and said, “Stop talking. I don’t want to listen. I don’t care how many women you married. I will marry you as soon as I get out of the dream.” She was rescued by Meng Xuan twice, so she decided to marry him just as gratitude. After all, he loved her so much. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
Meng Xuan’s white teeth were reddened by blood. He clutched his chest and added, “The last one is Huai Yi who masqueraded as you back then. I didn’t find it for a while and recognized her as my savior. She changed her name as Zi Xiao after she resumed secular life. I asked my family retainer to take her back to Meng’s Mansion in the capital and sent a letter to my mother. I said that she was my concubine in Yangzhou City, and her family was innocent. I asked my mother to treat her well. Later, I found some clues in the report of the Qiyanggong Sect. Until then I knew that you lived in Shui Shang Temple for a period of time. Then I took the Carefree Fragrance you gave me to the rouge shop and asked, only to realize that the fragrance is really unique.”
He Danggui lowered her head and said nothing. Was she self-defeating? However, she had never expected three years ago that the lively boy Meng Xuan would be her beloved husband.
“After discovering that I was deceived, I immediately went back to Meng’s Mansion and questioned Zi Xiao. She couldn’t stand it and admitted that she lied to me. She was crying and begging me to forgive her at that time.” Meng Xuan said with a frown. “I was about to drive her away, but my mother suddenly appeared and didn’t allow me to do that. Then I knew that during the two years when Zi Xiao came to Meng’s Mansion, she dedicated herself to serving my mother, making my mother happy during illness, and my mother favors her... In this way, Zi Xiao is still my concubine. I saw my mother was happy when being served by her, so I gradually dispelled the idea of sending her away secretly.”
He Danggui sighed, “Okay, I know. I don’t haggle with you over this. I will not say anything about ‘monogamy’ from now on.” Qing’er once told her that monogamy was also difficult to do in her time. Rich men would inevitably have other thoughts. As the old saying went, “This has been going on since ancient times.”
Meng Xuan waved his hand weakly and said, “No. The reason why I’m coming back this time is to ask you to marry me in advance and try to like me. I don’t mean to make you compromise. I’m very sure of my intentions. In this life and later lives, I only love you, and I never want to have relationship with other women. I have never touched those three concubines in the mansion, nor have I slept with the Infanta Xiancao. As long as you give me some time, I will definitely send them away one by one!”
“Women are the most persistent animals in the world. Once they are married, they will take root there. It is not easy to send them away.” He Danggui shook her head. “Didn’t you say that one of them was pregnant and your mother took her to Meng’s Mansion?” She took the handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face.
Meng Xuan frowned when he heard her words, and a trace of hatred and regret showed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, “I was plotted against by someone just before I went back to find you. I just found a clue about the person who plotted against me. It may be Lord Ning, Zhu Quan.”
“Zhu Quan?!” He Danggui stopped wiping her tears.
