Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 70: Rape
In Fengwei Building, the screen between the two elegant rooms was removed and connected into one, and small tables were placed in the spacious room.

Earl Yongqing was mixed in with the crowd, quite excited.

As expected, the effort was not in vain, as I actually received an invitation from Lord Yuan.

Lord Yuan was already highly regarded by the emperor, and now that his bad name has been cleared, I heard that the emperor was very relieved. If Lord Yuan had said a few good words for the inheritance of the title of the Bo family, the emperor might have nodded.

Earl Yongqing's heart was burning with excitement. When he heard that Lord Yuan was coming, he immediately followed the crowd to greet him.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Yuan Chenghai bowed to both sides, sending out bursts of fragrance.

Someone immediately praised him: "What kind of incense is Lord Yuan burning today? It smells so good."

Yuan Chenghai laughed out loud, unable to hide his satisfaction: "The women at home are just messing around, but the main thing is that the fragrance is good."

As he spoke, he looked at Earl Yongqing and said, "My Lord is here."

Yongqing Bo cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Lord Yuan."

"Well, not really. I do have something to ask of you."

Of all the people present, only he was talking so much. Earl Yongqing felt a little proud and a little nervous. He said politely, "Master Yuan, please speak."

"The incense your granddaughter gave to our family before was used very well. I would like to ask for some more." Yuan Chenghai said with a smile.

Earl Yongqing's expression froze.

Everything could be discussed in private, but Mr. Yuan asked for the incense made by Sixth Girl in front of so many people. This showed his feelings for Sixth Girl clearly.

Ever since Qiu Heng became the adopted daughter of the Princess of Kang County, Earl Yongqing had completely given up the idea of selling his granddaughter to please Yuan Chenghai. He would rather sell the sixth girl than the sixth girl, because with that girl's ability and ambition, he was looking forward to seeing how high she could climb.

After hearing what Yuan Chenghai said, the others exchanged glances secretly.

The rumor that Miss Qiu Liu made incense pendants for Yuan Chenghai's concubine turned out to be true.

Tsk tsk, the little girl is really ignorant.

Looking at Yongqing Bo, some people also shook their heads secretly: Maybe it's not that the little girl is ignorant, but she has to listen to her grandfather.

For a moment, some people looked down on Qiu Heng, and some even despised Yongqing Bo. Everyone waited with a smile on their faces to see how Yongqing Bo would respond.

Surrounded by such gazes, Earl Yongqing suddenly felt that being invited was not so nice.

These people who take advantage of others will one day be outnumbered by those they admire!

"Ahem." Earl Yongqing coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "I'll ask her later. Lord Yuan, you don't know, that girl is a perfume fanatic and stubborn. As a grandfather, it's not easy for me to make the decision for her directly."

"Haha, Miss Qiu Liu is quite a character." Yuan Chenghai said as he walked towards his table.

Everyone took their seats, dishes were served one after another, and the invited courtesans began to pluck the strings of their zithers.

"Master Yuan, I'd like to offer you a toast."

"Master Yuan is going to the south in a few days, right?"

"Master Yuan..."

With the sound of stringed instruments and the clinking of glasses, the scene became more lively after a few drinks, and the topic gradually turned to the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion.

"Master, did the fourth son of the Marquis of Xiping really attack your granddaughter in broad daylight?"

Even someone as shameless as Yongqing Bo felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

Although the Bo family won the lawsuit, since it involved a girl in the family, they should have shown some respect and not asked questions in public.

Or is it that the Bo Mansion has fallen into decline...

"Of course it's true. The government has already made the judgment."

Yuan Chenghai didn't care about Earl Yongqing's face and continued to ask: "I heard that it was Miss Qiu Liu who saved Miss Qiu Er. Did Miss Qiu Liu really pull out a lot of Mr. Zhao Si's hair?"

As soon as Yuan Chenghai said this, bursts of laughter rang out.

This was really funny. They couldn't help laughing when they first heard about it. They always suspected it wasn't true. Today, they finally heard the Qiu family tell it with their own ears. "The little girl was powerless and had to do this in a hurry." Yongqing Bo laughed dryly, his face a little ugly.

This Yuan guy has been going around and around and finally got to the Sixth Girl. He is determined to target the Sixth Girl!

"It's a cause for celebration that Lord Yuan has gotten rid of the entanglement of this villain. I'd like to toast you again." Earl Yongqing raised his glass and changed the subject.

"Hahahaha, thank you very much, uncle." Yuan Chenghai laughed and drank it all in one gulp.

He knew that he had drunk too much. He felt a heat in his stomach and throat. This heat made him wanton. Otherwise, he would not have said whatever he wanted.

Of course, the premise of being unscrupulous is that the other party is insignificant to him.

The accusation that he had committed evil in the south was resolved, and he was still the emperor's favorite. After a while, he would be able to go to the south again under the pretext of purchasing rare flowers and stones for the emperor.

The southeast is his real territory.

As for the girl Qiuliu who aroused his interest, it didn't matter if Earl Yongqing didn't know what was going on. When he left, he could send someone to take the girl away. Once he got to the south, no one would know who the girl was.

"Hahahaha——" Yuan Chenghai felt happier the more he thought about it. He laughed out loud and suddenly found that everyone's face was filled with fear.

What happened to them?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Yuan Chenghai felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Screams were heard and many people stood up in fright, causing the tables to overturn and the plates to fall to the ground and break into pieces.

Several courtesans were so frightened that they hid by the door with their musical instruments in their arms, trembling with fear.

"Master Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Master Yuan, Master Yuan!"

Amidst countless shouts, Yuan Chenghai spat out blood and wondered: What happened to him?
Is he going to die?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Yuan Chenghai’s eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness.

"Go get a doctor!" someone shouted in the chaos.

Yuan Chenghai's guards jumped out and said, "No one is allowed to leave the restaurant!"

While waiting for the imperial physician and government officials to arrive, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down. They took one look at the fallen Yuan Chenghai and looked away in fear. They looked again and looked away again.

It seems that Master Yuan is beyond help...

Among them, the one who was most affected was Earl Yongqing.

Yongqing Bo's heart is still pounding and he is sweating profusely.

What happened? He was talking and drinking with the man surnamed Yuan, and then the man surnamed Yuan died?

Just die?
This is too bizarre!

The doctor and the constable arrived one after another.

The doctor, carrying a medicine box, stepped forward to check with fear and shook his head: "The patient is gone."

"Take another look and check carefully!" Yuan Chenghai's confidant grabbed the doctor's collar angrily.

The doctor blinked and said, "I am incompetent. How about you ask another famous doctor to take a look?"

If we get a new doctor, he might just come back to life.

The officials were divided into two groups: the Patrol Inspection Division and the Imperial City Division.

Xue Han leaned over to sniff Yuan Chenghai's breath, then looked at the man holding the doctor: "He is no longer breathing."

The confidant let go of the doctor's hand and burst into tears: "Sir, why did you pass away so suddenly? Who hurt you? I will seek justice for you!"

"This needs a coroner to examine it." Xue Han reminded him and asked the confidant, "Tell me what happened first."

The man's name was Yuan Qiang, and the story began from the moment Yuan Chenghai walked into Fengweilou.
