The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.
Chapter 224 Preparing for Marriage
Chapter 224 Preparing for Marriage
"You don't have it, but your master, Physician Hua, does, and you are his most prized disciple. Naturally, he passed on the treasure to you." The man said with certainty.
Haitang subtly observed Yunwei's reaction.
Yun Wei remained calm.
"You believe these rumors? If there were a treasure, why would my master have bothered practicing medicine back then?"
"That was just a cover-up," the man sneered. "Enough with the nonsense, I only want the treasure, I don't want to take your life."
"I've said all I can say. Since you won't listen to my advice, there's nothing I can do," Yun Wei said coldly.
"Princess, you and Tian'er go first. Leave this man to me," Haitang said.
Yun Wei paused for a moment, then reminded him, "This person's martial arts skills are not weak."
“I know, I can handle it,” Haitang said.
Seeing that she insisted, Yunwei had no choice but to step aside with Tian'er and say, "Then be careful."
"Yes," Haitang replied, drawing the soft sword from her waist.
With a "ding," a gleaming sword reflected a cold light under the moonlight.
Sweetie was utterly astonished and stared intently at Haitang's waist.
She was with Haitang all the time and never noticed that she had such a sharp sword hidden at her waist.
Just as I was feeling alarmed, I saw Haitang leap up and fly towards the rooftop opposite.
In an instant, the two figures began to fight.
In the still of the night, the sound of clashing blades could be heard incessantly.
In a short while, the two figures had exchanged dozens of blows, and it was difficult to determine who was stronger.
The two fought faster and faster.
Sweetie was dazzled by the sight.
"Miss, how come Haitang's kung fu is so good?" she couldn't help but ask the young lady beside her.
Yunwei said, "This girl's martial arts skills are not weak; she must have put in a lot of hard work."
Therefore, Feng Huai's willingness to give her the crabapple blossoms clearly indicates that he has ulterior motives.
I just wonder if Haitang is in Cao Cao's camp but her heart is with Han?
"Under the very nose of the emperor, who is fighting on the rooftop? Come down at once!"
Just then, a cold voice rang out from below.
Tian'er glanced at it and tugged at Yunwei's sleeve. "Miss, it's Li Yaoting."
Yunwei had already seen it. She glanced at the two people fighting fiercely and evenly not far away, and suddenly shot out a silver needle, which hit the black-clad man's vital point.
The man in black let out an angry roar and rolled off the roof.
Haitang turned to look at Yunwei.
"Let's go!" Yunwei said, then put her arm around Tian'er's shoulder and flew into the night.
She showed no remorse whatsoever for attacking the man in black.
Because the man in black also had ulterior motives, and if she didn't make a move, Haitang would have a hard time escaping.
Seeing this, Haitang sheathed her sword and followed closely behind.
By the time Li Yaoting realized what was happening, Yun Wei and her two servants had already vanished.
"That one just now, I think it was Princess Rong'an."
The lieutenant said uncertainly.
Li Yaoting narrowed his eyes.
He saw it clearly and was certain it was indeed the Yun family.
What is she doing here so late?
"General, that man is still breathing." At this moment, the men below, having already examined the man in black's injuries, stepped forward to report.
Li Yaoting dismounted, pulled off the man's mask, and seeing that it was an unfamiliar face, he thought for a moment and whispered, "Take him back."
Although this person is a member of the martial arts world, his martial arts skills are not weak. He also happens to be short of manpower, so he can be recruited into the army.
"Yes," the lieutenant replied, and led his men away, taking the man in black with them.
Li Yaoting paused, glanced at the spot where Yun Wei had just stood, and then turned and left. By this time, Yun Wei and the other two had returned to the county princess's residence.
The three of them didn't go through the main gate, but went directly back to the courtyard from the rooftop.
The three of them had just landed on the roof when they saw Rong Zhen standing under the eaves.
Yun Wei was taken aback. "Why are you standing here?"
“I figured you should be back by now, so I came to check on you. I didn’t expect you to fly down from the roof instead of using the main gate. What happened on the way?” Rong Zhen asked gently.
"You two go down first." Yun Wei didn't answer, but turned to Tian'er and Haitang and instructed them.
The two bowed and then withdrew.
Rong Zhen came down the steps and walked up to Yun Wei. "Were you attacked?"
Yun Wei nodded, "We encountered two groups of assassins."
"Are those martial arts figures again?" Rong Zhen asked.
"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.
Rong Zhen frowned slightly.
Ever since Yunwei was assassinated, he had people keep an eye on the martial arts figures in the capital. Those people had been quiet for a while, but he didn't expect them to make a move again tonight.
"Are you alright?" He took Yunwei's hand and looked her over carefully.
"I'm fine." Yun Wei shook her head. "But when we left, we ran into Li Yaoting leading a patrol. The martial arts man I knocked down may have fallen into his hands."
"It's good that you're alright. As for that江湖人 (jianghu person), he only has himself to blame," Rong Zhen said.
"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.
"How did those martial arts figures find out about your whereabouts tonight?" Rong Zhen asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Yunwei glanced in the direction Haitang had left, seemingly lost in thought.
"Have you thought of something?" Rong Zhen asked.
“Feng Huai,” Yun Wei said, “When we were having dinner at Zuiyue Tower, Haitang went out for a while. She must have met Feng Huai.”
"So, you believe that your assassination attempt tonight was caused by Feng Huai deliberately leaking your whereabouts to those people in the martial arts world?"
"Yes, I think it's him," Yun Wei said confidently.
Rong Zhen paused for a moment, "That Haitang is Feng Huai's person, do you still want to keep her by your side?"
“She hasn’t done anything wrong, let’s keep her for now,” Yunwei said.
Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen said nothing more, only saying, "The wedding day is approaching. From now on, you should stay in the manor and stop running around."
"Okay," Yunwei agreed.
Although the wedding preparations are handled by her staff, she really should settle down and get ready for marriage.
The next day.
Yunwei didn't go anywhere; she stayed in the courtyard, watching Tian'er do needlework.
Tian'er thought that her young mistress was good at everything except needlework, and seeing her watching her do needlework so intently, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, would you like to learn?"
Yunwei coughed lightly and asked Haitang beside her, "Haitang, would you like to learn?"
"No," Haitang immediately shook her head.
Yunwei looked at Tian'er, "Haitang said she doesn't want to."
Tian'er said with a laugh, "I was asking you. Alright, just consider it an unnecessary question from me. Miss has no intention of learning at all."
"As long as you know needlework, it doesn't matter whether I learn it or not," Yunwei said.
Sweetie asked curiously, "Miss can do everything, so why can't you even sew something?"
“Because no one taught me,” Yunwei said.
Her master was a man, and he was most used to sewing and mending. Since he had money, he would just buy new clothes when they were torn, and he would never bother to mend them.
So she followed her master and learned all sorts of skills, but she never learned how to sew.
Upon hearing this, Tian'er immediately thought of her mistress's childhood experiences and felt extremely distressed. She quickly replied, "No, no, this servant will do needlework for you for the rest of my life."
"I know you're good with your hands, but you don't have to promise me forever. Maybe in a while you'll find someone you like, and you'll be arguing and fussing about getting married," Yunwei teased.
