Mi primer marido después de la transmigración

Capítulo 58

Thirty-Sixth Courtyard

When Tang Shijiu opened her eyes, it was already late at night. She was lying on a bed of fine goose down and covered with a brocade quilt. The room was filled with a fragrance and was very comfortable.

My last memory is of being in the carriage.

As the sun was setting, Tang Yu suddenly pointed out the window and exclaimed, "Wow! Look how swiftly that person dismembered the body!"

Tang Shijiu couldn't possibly miss such a horrifying and gruesome scene. He turned his head and received a chop to the neck, and then fell asleep.

Sitting up and twisting his neck, Tang Shijiu was both angry and helpless.

She was angry at herself for being fooled by such a third-rate trick. She was the one who taught Tian Man to use similar "Wow! There are gods in heaven" scams! But this time, Tang Yu's story was just too shocking, and Tang Yu was too naive in her eyes, which is why she fell for such a low-level trick.

Tang Yu was helpless.

"Wow! Look how cleanly that person dismembered the body!" Only she could come up with such an excuse.

Nineteen wasn't particularly angry about being knocked unconscious and transported to some inexplicable place. She'd heard stories back at Xiaoyao Manor about how certain locations of mysterious sects were off-limits to outsiders. Therefore, she didn't have much objection to Tang Yu's method of knocking her unconscious before transporting her away.

I'm just a little curious about how it works. Hmm, she's confused, so what about the driver? If they blindfold him and bring him over, then does someone else have to take him out again? How many trips would it take to complete the whole "confused transport" process?

Unfortunately, the old lady telling the story didn't tell her that in the process of getting the driver out of the rickshaw, there was no need to consider how to get the driver out.

When someone dies, it doesn't matter where they're buried. Besides, in the Tang Clan, there's no need to bury them at all. Just decompose whatever you want, which not only saves space but also serves as fertilizer. No wonder it's said in Sichuan that the flowers and plants in the Tang Clan's courtyard are the most beautiful.

Nineteen swung her legs and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

No wonder people say a high bed and soft pillows are essential; this bed is so high that you can't even touch the ground with your feet. If it were any higher, Tian Man might be able to practice his light-footed skills. Thinking of Tian Man reminds me of Tang Yu, who is about the same age. Poor little girl, even making up a pretext is considered murder.

A soft, yellow lamp was lit in the room, creating a gentle and soothing atmosphere. Tang Shijiu got out of bed, becoming unusually cautious. She had just stepped out of the inner room when she heard someone push the door open and enter.

Tang Yu came in, and as soon as he saw that Nineteen was awake, he immediately knelt down and said, "Nineteen, I knocked you out, I'm sorry."

Tang Shijiu rubbed his still slightly sore neck, a strange light in his eyes: "Is this place a secret area of the Tang Clan?"

She had expected Tang Shijiu to lose her temper, and she had expected Tang Shijiu to be silent, but she never expected that Tang Shijiu's first words to her upon waking up would be such a nonsensical question. Tang Yu looked up, somewhat stunned.

Uh, the light in Jiu Jiu's eyes seemed to be... excitement?

"Well, you could say that." This is the least frequently used of the thirty-two villas of the Tang family, and it should be considered a "secret place" in the martial arts world.

Tang Shijiu was excited: "What treasures are here? What poisons? What martial arts manuals? What shady dealings are going on here?"

Feeling a little embarrassed to spoil her mood, Tang Yu still told the truth: "I heard that this was originally the residence of the eldest young master, but he committed suicide more than ten years ago, and it has been empty ever since. There should be no treasures, poisons, or martial arts manuals left here, but there was a recent incident involving something that should not be seen by others."

Hearing that there were no treasures, poisons, or martial arts manuals, Tang Shijiu was a little disappointed, but upon hearing that there were some shady dealings involved, he immediately became excited again: "Tell me!"

“It seems a bit unfair to kidnap you,” Tang Yu stammered for a while before slowly saying, “It’s not exactly aboveboard to bring you here.”

Nineteen was depressed: "Why? Why go through all that trouble to bring me here?! Doesn't your Tang Clan even have a more mysterious place?"

Tang Yu said, "The most mysterious place is also the most famous. It's said that Shenyin is very familiar with the structure of the Tang Clan. If it were too mysterious, he could probably find his way there, so... he just chose the most ordinary place." Seeing Nineteen's disappointed look, Tang Yu enthusiastically added, "Otherwise, after you meet the Second and Third Sect Masters, I'll take you to see other places? I guarantee they're very famous! Have you heard of the Medicine Testing Pavilion? The reason why the Tang Clan's poisons are so potent is because they are specifically developed for human subjects, including experiments. Other clans use rats, wild cats, and wild dogs, but we specifically use fresh, healthy human bodies..."

His eyes lit up again when he talked about these things.

Nineteen imagined the possible scenarios in his mind, then waved his hand with a look of disgust: "Forget it, I'll just stay here."

Now it was Tang Yu's turn to be disappointed: "That place is the most mysterious legend in the martial arts world. Some say it exists, some say it doesn't, and many people want to go and see it..."

"I don't want to..."

"I guarantee you'll be the first non-Tang family member to go in alive and come out unharmed."

"Thank you, but I don't want that either." Tang Shijiu pointed very seriously to his chest. "This area will be severely damaged, and I might even have nightmares tonight."

"Why are you injured there and having nightmares at night?" Tang Yu's face suddenly turned red. "I'll take you there, but it's not for that kind of medicine. I'm too young to go there."

"Where is that? What do you mean by 'too young to go'? Tang Yu, you're only thirteen years old, what on earth are you thinking?"

“Thirteen is not young anymore,” Tang Yu said, perhaps because wearing women’s clothes once had completely awakened some of her feminine sensitivity. “I heard from my senior sister that girls from normal families are engaged by the age of thirteen. If a girl is over seventeen and still not married, she is considered an old maid and no one will want her.”

When he was inexplicably tied up and put into the carriage, Nineteen was not angry.

Even though he was poisoned and lost all his internal energy, Nineteen was not angry.

Even after being stunned and taken away by a single chop to the neck, Nineteen remained calm and did not get angry.

But at this moment, Nineteen got angry: "Who told you that if you can't get married by seventeen, you're an old spinster?! I'm only twenty-nine, in the prime of my life!"

Tang Yu remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Jiu Jiu, even if you're an old maid, you're a very beautiful old maid."

She's a very beautiful old aunt, still an old aunt.

Because Tang Yu called her an old maid, Nineteen was extremely depressed and thought of the bet they made when they came down the mountain: to find a man within a year.

Two weeks ago, she might have had headaches, worries, and sleepless nights because of this. But now, Tang Shijiu only blushes and feels secretly delighted when she thinks about it.

She was alone when she came down the mountain.

Now, she is no longer alone.

Even though she and Shen Yun are now separated by distance, her heart is full and sweet. Because of a strange trust, she knows that she is not alone.

After a long and winding journey, she came to a conclusion: Shen Yun was just a weak scholar, and the Tang Clan had no reason to cause him trouble. If he couldn't wait for her to return, he would definitely search for her everywhere, and if he couldn't find her, he would definitely be waiting for her at the villa in Jinhu Manor!

Because she had told him to wait there, and he had agreed.

She believed that he wouldn't lie about a promise he made!
