Je vends des vêtements et j'achète du vin à boire avec toi

Chapitre 56

Yun Ranxiang seemed unconcerned. She smiled gently and said, "It's alright. I've been chasing after you these past few years, and I've already made the worst-case scenario plan." She stood up, opened the small box on the table, and took out a vermilion pill.

Long San narrowed his eyes slightly: "What, you plan to poison me into unconsciousness, and then the wedding ceremony will be over when I wake up?"

Yun Ranxiang smiled, pushed away Long San's powerless hand, pinched his cheek, stuffed the pill into his mouth, gently patted his chin, and watched him swallow it. Satisfied, she turned around, poured another glass of wine, turned back, pried open Long San's mouth, and forced him to drink it.

Then she sat on Long San's lap, stroked his chest, and said in a seductive voice, "It's no fun to drug you. Do you think I don't know that with your reputation and the power of your Long family, it would be strange if those hypocritical martial arts people didn't cause trouble tomorrow. If you're not willing, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my way."

"So what are you planning to do?"

Yun Ranxiang leaned down and kissed Long San's lips. Long San frowned and turned his head away. Yun Ranxiang didn't mind. She stood up, took a few steps back, and then slowly untied her belt. Under Long San's glare, she took off her outer robe.

"What I just fed you was aphrodisiac. Third Master Long is a man of great loyalty and integrity, and he is a man of great responsibility. Tonight, we will enjoy the pleasures of our union. If you dare to publicly declare at our wedding tomorrow that you have consummated your marriage with me but will not marry me, then I will submit to you." She smiled charmingly and removed another garment, revealing a peach-colored bodice.

Looking at Long San's flushed face and the fine sweat on his forehead, she said smugly, "Besides, after one night of passion, who knows if I might be carrying your Long family blood in my belly? If that happens, and your Long family still has the nerve to deny it, I'll be impressed."

She reached behind her neck, looked into Long San's eyes, and smiled as she gently untied the drawstring of her bodice. The bodice slipped off her body, revealing her fair skin and two round, rosy breasts. Yun Ranxiang lightly lifted her legs, kicking aside her loose skirt and trousers, leaving her completely naked.

She stood there, watching Long San's breathing gradually worsen and his face flush. Then, with a charming smile, she slowly approached him. This was the perfect opportunity for Long San to escape, but he suddenly said, "Your plan is ruthless. However, if you want me to submit, I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone else for their consent."

"who?"

"My wife."

Yun Ranxiang was taken aback, then giggled. She found Long San's delaying tactic quite amusing. She asked with a smile, "Who is your wife?"

"It's me!"

This fierce shout froze Yun Ranxiang in place. Suddenly, a woman dressed in black jumped in through the window. She had a pretty face, fiery eyes, and held the cicada-wing sword in her hand. It belonged to Long San.

Long San sighed and replied, "Yes, she is my wife." She was peeking out from outside, which made him more nervous than Yun Ranxiang's outburst in front of him.

Yun Ranxiang was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Her men were everywhere in the manor, and there were guards downstairs. How could an outsider have broken in without a sound? Most importantly, she was naked. In such an unprotected state, even her proud and ruthless nature lost its imposing presence.

Before she could react, Feng Ning had already swiftly kicked the clothes on the ground into a ball, flicked it with her longsword, and thrown it out the window. Someone outside seemed to be hit by the clothes and let out a startled cry.

Feng Ning was in a fit of rage when she yelled out the window, "What are you yelling about!" The area outside immediately fell silent.

Zhong Sheng outside threw the clothes hanging on his head to the ground and kicked them away. His sister-in-law was really something; it wasn't him who let his brother be touched and kissed by a woman, so why was she taking her anger out on him?

After scolding Zhong Sheng, Feng Ning turned to Long San and shouted, "What are you looking at? Is she that pretty?"

Long San quickly closed his eyes: "Wife, I didn't see anything."

"Hmph, pretentious! You're not even as good as Zhong Zhi; Zhong Zhi doesn't even bother to look at you." Feng Ning's words darkened Yun Ranxiang's already livid face. She had been so careless, bewitched by Long San, neglecting everything outside. All her efforts to seduce him had been seen by everyone outside the window. Now, completely naked, she was at a disadvantage in everything she did; she had no fighting spirit, and even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't.

Feng Ning stood between Long San and Yun Ranxiang, her long sword clanging as she planted it on the ground. She raised her head and glared fiercely at Yun Ranxiang, saying, "You shameless woman, you're the one who tried to steal my husband!"

Yun Ranxiang gritted her teeth and remained silent, but Long San called out softly, "Wife..."

Feng Ning snapped at him impatiently, "What business is it of yours when we women are having a conversation?"

Long San, however, only added fuel to the fire, continuing, "I just wanted to say that I miss you so much."

Feng Ning ignored him, but proudly tossed her head at Yun Ranxiang and said defiantly, "This man belongs to my family, what are you going to do about it?"

Yun Ranxiang listened intently to the sounds outside. Someone had broken in, and the guards outside hadn't made a sound, so there were probably more than just these two. Her mind raced, and she replied, "What do you want now?"

Feng Ning's eyebrows shot up, and she pointed her long sword: "Whichever hand you touched him, I'll chop it off; if you stole a kiss from him, I'll knock out your teeth; if you leered at him, I'll gouge out your eyes; and if you dare to run, I'll cut off your legs." Feng Ning finished this long string of words in one breath, without a single stumble. (zz)

Long San responded from behind her, "Wife, you are so majestic."

"Shut up." Feng Ning turned her head and glared at him.

"Yes, madam." Long San was very obedient at this moment.

Enraged, Yun Ranxiang swore, "Don't listen to your nonsense."

Feng Ning gripped the hilt of her sword, twisted her wrist to draw back the scabbard, and said, "Today I'll show you that my husband, Feng Ning's husband, is not someone to be bullied." Before she finished speaking, she had already swung her sword forward.

Yun Ranxiang was unarmed and could only grit her teeth and dodge. She was naked and twisted and turned left and right, feeling both embarrassed and angry. Her movements were very awkward and restricted, and she was constantly being beaten by Feng Ning.

Feng Ning slashed several times with his sword, and Yun Ranxiang dodged around the table. Feng Ning kicked the tabletop over, spilling the food and wine all over Yun Ranxiang, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable. Before she could recover, Feng Ning kicked her in the chest. Yun Ranxiang cried out in pain and stumbled back several steps, clutching her chest. Feng Ning pressed on relentlessly, thrusting his sword forward again.

The sharp blade sliced a gash on Yun Ranxiang's snow-white shoulder. She rolled on the ground in a disheveled state, narrowly avoiding the attack. Her hair was disheveled, and her skin was covered in food, wine, and ash. She looked like a crazy old woman rolling around on the ground, with no trace of her former allure.

Yun Ranxiang was furious. She grabbed a chair and used it to block Feng Ning's sword attack. "You won so unfairly. If you're so capable, let's choose a day and have a proper match."

"Pah!" Feng Ning swept her foot across the room and shouted at her, "When you bullied my husband, didn't you think about how unfair it was to win, or about propriety and shame? If you're shameless, you have no right to reason with me. I'm not going to give you clothes to wear, I'm going to beat you up, I'm going to make you look bad, so what are you going to do about it?"

Enraged, Feng Ning attacked with all his might. Yun Ranxiang was actually quite skilled in martial arts, but unable to maintain her stance, she was at a disadvantage no matter what. After barely managing to exchange a few blows, she was finally cornered by Feng Ning, who swept her lower body away, sending her crashing to the ground. Knowing that she was doomed in Feng Ning's hands this time, she simply closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and leaped out of the window.

Just as Feng Ning was about to give chase, she heard Long San call out, "Zhong Sheng, hurry and catch her. Feng'er, come here."

Zhong Sheng shouted from outside, "Brother, she's not wearing any clothes!"

"Chase them," Long San said again.

Zhong Sheng could only reply, "Yes, brother."

Soon the noise outside subsided. Feng Ning glared at Long San with a resentful look, put away her sword, and turned to leave.

Long San weakly called out, "Feng'er, I've been poisoned."

Feng Ning paused, remembering that this guy had indeed been given a poison pill. Reluctantly, she walked back, helped him up, and said, "If Bao'er hadn't been worried about you, I wouldn't have come to save you."

"Yes, thank you, my wife, thank you, Bao'er." Long San smiled and half-pressed down, half-embraced Feng Ning.

Feng Ning glared at her: "Can you walk or not? I'm angry with you right now, I'm not carrying you."
