Duan Xiaolou got her mind keenly, and there was a trace of bitterness in his voice, “What, do we have to keep our distance so clearly?”He Danggui still clutched Duan Xiaolou’s sleeve and exhorted him, “As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Tai Shan is a complete villain. You kill her, or you never offend her. Otherwise, you will make her a hidden trouble for you in the future.” He Danggui had learned this lesson in her previous life. She was so vulnerable that she wanted to hang herself after Tai Shan blackmailed her for many times.31th year of Hongwu Period, Tai Shan knew that He Danggui had married into Lord Ning’s Mansion as a concubine, so she wrote a letter to meet He Danggui secretly. She held He Danggui’s old story of being a slave in the Taoist Temple as a leverage, threatening that if He Danggui refused to pay her, she would tell Lord Ning that He Danggui had stolen, misbehaved and hurt people in the Taoist Te

He Danggui awoke at daybreak.Before she fell asleep last night, she picked out some Zhiming Sticking Plaster with a new chopstick. Then she took them in a bowl of warm water and patted her acupoint in a certain order, channeling the heat from the pill into her limbs. The pesticide effect of Zhiming Sticking Plaster was quite good. When she woke up, she felt her breath grew longer, her pulse grew stronger and her cold hands and feet were warm, too.Since there was only a useless little stove in the room, He Danggui and Zhen Jing were covered with one quilt in these days. But Zhen Jing didn’t sleep quietly and always had the tendency to kick the quilt and people, which made He Danggui suffer a lot. At this moment, Zhen Jing was asleep. He Danggui got out of bed silently, pulling the quilt for Zhen Jing. Zhen Jing whispered and kicked the quilt again, so He Danggui covered for her again reluctantly.After a simple wash, He Danggui coiled up a sma

People’s breathing? He Danggui looked up doubtfully and saw a man sleeping on the tree. Who else could it be expect for Gao Jue?He Danggui suddenly realized why she could meet Gao Jue when she practiced Five Mimic-animal Boxing yesterday morning, and why she could also meet him when she went out to run at dawn today. This was because he had been sleeping in the tree outside the East Wing-room! Peeping? He was such a rude man! He Danggui picked up a scree from the ground and threw it up, hitting Gao Jue’s nose as she expected. His face was now saying that “I want to kill you”. Looking at that expression, He Danggui waved to him and said with a smile, “Master Gao, let’s go.” The three of them went to the meditation room of the northern yard. He Danggui took out the set of keys which Tai Xi had given her and tried to open the door of the meditation room. But Gao Jue came up with an unhappy face for his lacking of sleep, reached out and pulled the brass lock,

He Danggui played with the tea-cup and nodded, “Since you offer the same price, I guess Shopkeeper Li was right about its value… Alas, now I have to go back and persuade the Madam to let me take it back and then sell it in Yangzhou.”“Sell it?!” Shopkeeper Jing asked excitedly, “You want to sell this coffin? Can I have a look?”He Danggui nodded, “Of course, please.”Shopkeeper Jing turned to open the mahogany tool box on his counter, which contained several soft rulers and tools for testing the hardness of woods. As he stretched out the soft ruler and measured the coffin board, he looked up to find out the secrets of He Danggui, “Miss, you don’t sound like a native, do you? Where did you get the coffin?”He Danggui took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said, “The truth is, I’m a little maid of Luo’s Mansion in Yangzhou City, and the Miss I served is a cousin of the family. Early this month, the Miss died accidentally. The Ma

He Danggui accepted the money with a smile and repeated the shopkeeper’s words, “Thank you very much. Good luck to you. Please take care!” She even copied the tone perfectly.The girl in red snorted, shook her sleeves and went out of the tailor’s shop to the north. After her, He Danggui went out to the south. The girl in red walked a few steps, could not help looking back and only saw a yellow figure growing further and further.“Hey, stop, stop, stop! You stop there!” The girl in red shouted petulantly.All the people stopped to look at the girl in red, but the yellow figure became smaller and smaller. The girl in red was angry and ran so fast at once. When she approached He Danggui, she clasped the scapula of her left shoulder, then turned her right arm backwards, pushed her toward a small corner of the roadside and pressed her against the wall, although the target was smaller than her.“Hey, why don’t you follow my steps?” The g
