Chapter 45: How Could She Stand By and Watch Matters Concerning the Marquis's Estate?
"However, what the Second Young Madam said yesterday makes sense. The Marquis's Mansion is deeply in debt, and heaven knows when they will ever pay you back. Perhaps you should just listen to the Second Young Madam. After all, she entered the mansion before you and is always more familiar with the situation."
"Don't listen to her!"
Cui Houzhi wiped the smile from her face. "Before I married into the Marquis's Mansion, she tried to persuade me not to marry here several times."
Struggling to hold back the moisture in her eyes, by the time I recovered my composure, the messenger had already vanished down the corridor, nowhere to be seen.
"Let me sign it." Lu Qianqian returned to the artwork, and after calming her emotions, she used the ink from the bottle to write her signature.
As she spoke, Lu Yunyao handed the guitar to Yu Shiyang. At this moment, she was quite looking forward to Yu Shiyang's guitar performance.
Ying Mingyu's greatest fear was that the other party was playing this game of hide-and-seek with him, and that his cell phone might not be with Lu Qianqian; that would be disastrous.
The Golden Talisman Sect could perhaps be considered a top-tier super-faction within the Sword Cloud Dynasty, or even across this vast region. It could even rank above the imperial power.
As expected of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom of the Divine Martial Continent, the messenger bird they used was actually a fierce spirit beast. Once the memorial was written and properly secured, it transformed into a streak of black lightning and soared directly into the clouds.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look toward the entrance of the banquet hall and indeed saw Han Shaoxun, dressed in a black suit, walking in with graceful composure.
A pirate ship rushed rapidly into the fog. After half of its hull entered without incident, and once the ship had completely vanished into the mist and was no longer visible, the other pirate ships hesitantly followed suit.
It was not until they had driven past several intersections that Han Shaoxun finally breathed a sigh of relief and gradually slowed the car down.
Yu Fei and Dakui looked at each other in dismay; this matter seemed to be completely outside their considerations, rendering even unconventional methods useless.
The cavalry troop approached the gate of the Le'an Army camp without any intention of slowing down, and the Le'an Army soldiers immediately sensed the gravity of the situation, hurriedly shouting out warnings.
Mi Yiqing stiffly released her grip, feeling a chill run through her heart. Perhaps this was what people called the treacherous pugilistic world, where everyone only sought to protect themselves.
Zhao Zhao shook his head and returned to the campsite. The three squad leaders and eight platoon leaders continued their previous discussion, though it yielded no results. The reason could only be blamed on the terrifying tenacity of the First-Dignity Death Soldiers.
By dusk, following the direction Ye Tian had identified, the group finally reached the edge of the dense forest. Not far ahead, a village could already be faintly seen. Beyond the front of the village, hazy town outlines were beginning to appear.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—you can't escape now, can you? Seeing the exhausted and struggling form of Shen Feifei, the giant snake was overjoyed. Its massive mouth slammed down and quickly snapped shut, terrified that Shen Feifei might escape again.
Third Prince Hao snatched the bento box from Tao Hua's arms, didn't say a word, picked up the spoon, and started eating. For the first few bites, he simply wanted to stop Meng Ping from continuing to eat the loving bento Tao Hua had specially prepared for him. But after a few bites, he suddenly found it delicious. Meng Ping's expressions hadn't been exaggerated at all; it was genuinely delicious.
A dozen minutes later, the bidding finally grew sparse. At this point, only three people were left competing! Without exception, all three hailed from the highest-grade Heavenly-tier private boxes! Moreover, each price increment was simply breathtaking.
By the next day, Ye Liuli woke up early. Seeing that the two maidservants were still asleep, she dressed and washed up by herself.
Yet he discovered that repeated concessions would not achieve any positive effect; instead, they would only cause the enemies to become more intensified, arrogant, and unbridled.
"Sigh..." Heavenly Saber King shook his head with a sigh, signaling everyone not to disturb Li Lingdai. Some things could only be understood through personal experience. What Li Lingdai was weeping over was not just the past hardships of the Qin family, but also her own years of steadfast perseverance. With her slender and fragile body, she had single-handedly carried the very last shred of dignity remaining for the Qin family.
