Chapter 147 Take off your armor! Take off your armor quickly!
After trying on the groom's suit, the wedding will take place the next day.
Cao Rui didn't care and just wanted to have his wedding night.
What I didn't expect was that that night, when it was late at night and everything was quiet, there was a sudden knock on the door.
open the door.
Then I saw Xiangling's sneaky figure.
Cao Rui asked, "Xiangling, why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Let me in first."
Xiangling was extremely nervous, fearing that she would be discovered. She relaxed only after entering the room and asked:
"Brother Cao, when you slapped me on the head three times in the carriage, didn't you tell me to secretly come to you in the middle of the night if I had any problems?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Rui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had never expected that an unintentional action of his would be over-interpreted by Xiang Ling.
"Then don't you think it's a problem for us, a single man and a single woman, to meet secretly in the middle of the night? If we get caught, remember to say we're having an affair. That way, at most people will just call you shameless."
"..."
Xiangling's face suddenly turned red. Although she was ignorant, she knew that this matter concerned a woman's reputation and she could not be careless at all.
She twisted her fingers in panic, unable to think of a solution, hesitating:
"Well, that's all we can do."
She was too easy to bully. Cao Rui didn't have the heart to tease her any further and asked her to get down to business.
Xiangling calmed herself down and began to narrate what had happened.
It turned out that there was a one-eyed man in the mountain village who had taken a fancy to Aunt Xue and wanted to make her his concubine, but Chen Shuozhen stopped him.
So, the One-Eyed Dragon beat Xue Pan and forced him to persuade Aunt Xue to agree to the marriage.
"Mother! Please save your son!"
Xue Pan was beaten all over his body. He limped and fell at Aunt Xue's feet, hugged her legs tightly, and cried loudly.
Aunt Xue felt so distressed when she saw her son's miserable condition that she couldn't stop crying.
"Son, what happened to you? Who beat you up like this?"
Xue Pan raised his head, his face full of pleading:
"Mother, there is a one-eyed man in the village who has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be his concubine. You must agree, otherwise your son's life will be in danger!"
Aunt Xue's eyes widened, her face filled with shock:
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be a concubine of a bandit?"
Xue Pan said hurriedly: "Dad has been dead for so many years, you don't need to keep your chastity for him, you should think more about the living!"
"If anything happens to my son, the Xue family in Jinling will be finished. Please consider it as your son's and the Xue family's, and agree to be the concubine of the One-Eyed Dragon!"
Aunt Xue was so angry that she was shaking all over:
"You rebellious son, how dare you say such shameless words? How could I, the mistress of the Xue family, do such a thing that disgraces our family's reputation?"
Xue Pan was frightened by the beating and continued to cry:
"Mother, now is not the time to worry about the family's reputation. If you don't agree, One-Eyed Dragon will definitely beat me to death. Can you bear to watch your son die in front of you?"
Aunt Xue felt heartbroken. Looking at her good-for-nothing son and thinking of the Xue family's current situation, she fell into despair and wanted to bang her head against the wall and die.
Fortunately, Xue Fan stopped the man in time.
Xue Baochai, who had fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, also realized that something was wrong and rushed back in time.
After listening to her mother's crying, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She scolded Xue Fan severely and also talked about her speculation that Chen Shuozhen wanted to use Xue's shop to sell stolen goods.
Xue Fan had always admired his sister's intelligence, but this time he hung his head and retorted:
"There are treacherous officials in the court who pretend to obey but actually disobey, not to mention the bandits who have turned into bandits. Village Chief Chen is a woman, how can she manage so many bandits? By the time you two have reached an agreement on cooperation, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death."
Xue Baochai advised, "Brother, you are the head of the Xue family in Jinling. Many things can only be solved by you. If the village leader Chen has any sense, he will not let it go."
"Really?"
Xue Fan was skeptical, mainly because it really hurt when he was hit by a fist.
Xue Baochai promised to go find Chen Shuozhen immediately.
Xue Fan didn't want to sell his mother to survive, so he decided to grit his teeth and endure it.
When Aunt Xue saw that her son was persuaded by her daughter, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and urged Xue Baochai to go find Chen Shuozhen quickly.
Who would have known that as soon as Xue Baochai left, someone broke in and took Xue Fan away.
Then, send back a finger.
"My son!"
Aunt Xue screamed and fainted. Fortunately, she was rescued by maids such as Xiangling and Ying'er and soon woke up, but she was crying her eyes out.
In order to save Xue Fan's life, he decided to sacrifice his own dignity and the reputation of the Xue family.
Just thinking of the ferocious and ugly appearance of the one-eyed dragon made her shudder and she wished she could die immediately.
When Xue Baochai came back, she strongly opposed her mother becoming a concubine, and said that Chen Shuozhen had sent people to protect Xue Fan. The severed finger did not look white and tender enough, and must have belonged to someone else.
But Aunt Xue could not help being afraid that something might happen to Xue Pan, and that she would feel sorry for her late husband by cutting off the Xue family's lineage, so she cried and dared not to regret it.
Moreover, the wedding date is the same day that Cao Rui and Chen Shuozhen get married.
……
After listening to Xiangling's story, Cao Rui immediately realized that it was Chen Shuozhen who was causing trouble.
Poor Aunt Xue, she was caught up in this storm and became the first victim. I’m afraid her eyes must be swollen from crying.
Cao Rui wanted to comfort her, but not now. He told Xiangling to go back home with peace of mind. Then he rushed into Chen Shuozhen's room without hesitation and sneered:
"Ma'am, what do you want to do?"
Chen Shuozhen looked at the aggressive Cao Rui, but she was not panicked. Instead, she exclaimed:
"Well, your reaction is not too slow, you are qualified to be my good wife. I want to use you to get rid of some people!"
"Okay, but I want to have my wedding night tonight!"
"..."
Chen Shuozhen looked at Cao Rui strangely. “I’m looking for an excuse to kill so many people and make a river of blood. And you’re still thinking about this kind of thing?”
What's the matter with never slept with a woman in your entire life?
At this moment.
Chen Shuozhen was very disappointed, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still introduced the current situation:
"Some people in the village rely on their seniority to make comments about my identity as a woman. One-eyed dragon is one of them."
"I can't attack him directly, otherwise it will cause civil unrest in the village. So, I want you to play the role of an arrogant and domineering concubine, and get rid of them all under the pretext of competing for Aunt Xue."
After listening to this, Cao Rui nodded and said directly:
"Take off your armor!"
"what?"
Chen Shuozhen was surprised and said, "Are you listening to me? The war will start tomorrow. Although I am 90% sure, it is dangerous and people may die at any time. Why are you still thinking about that kind of thing instead of conserving your energy?"
Cao Rui reiterated:
"My lady, I will help you eliminate the traitor tomorrow, but now I want you to take off your armor!"
