Chapter 1085: If Things Succeed, You Live, if Things Fail, You Die.
The words touched Shang Shuqing's heartache, and her figure shook slightly, leaving the door she was leaning against, feeling sad and about to cry.
"Qing'er, we will never harm you. We really do it for your own good. It's not that we are forcing you, it's your brother who is anxious. He is just a sister like you, so how can he not be anxious? Your age is really He’s not young anymore. If this continues, your brother will not be able to explain to his dead parents and brothers!”
"Aunt... Aunt..." The little child in her arms was babbling, and she patted the door in a childish voice.
Crunch! The door was suddenly opened by the child's chubby little hand.
Feng Ruonan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and saw Shang Shuqing with her back turned, her head hanging down.
"Qing'er." Feng Ruonan walked around to the opposite side of her, feeling heartbroken when he saw her like that.
"Aunt..." The little guy was gesticulating, and Shang Shuqing couldn't help but hug her tightly, wanting to use the child's innocence to comfort herself.
Feng Ruonan let go of the child and said softly: "Sister-in-law knows that you are sad. Really, from the first day we met, sister-in-law understands you."
Cried! Shang Shuqing cried when she was told that she buried her head in her child and cried, choking with sobs: "Don't force me! I'll marry you. I promise you. Isn't it okay? I can marry anyone you want, as long as you are happy."
Facing this never-ending persuasion, she was powerless. She really couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing that she agreed, Feng Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't want to force her like this, but Shang Chaozong forced her like this.
Of course, she also understood Shang Chaozong's feelings as an elder brother.
Privately, Shang Chaozong always blamed himself for failing to take good care of his sister.
When he was in Yanjing, he was imprisoned because he failed to control himself, which delayed his sister's best age to get married.
After Prince Ning's mansion disappeared, he was in jail, but his sister and the old man from Prince Ning's mansion were wandering around the mountains and fields to survive, waiting hard for him to come out.
After finally coming out, he was intercepted and killed again. He was incompetent, which made his younger sister, who had never been on the battlefield, carry a flag to boost morale, and rushed into the battlefield to kill. She was stabbed by the rebels and almost lost her life.
If his sister hadn't insisted on going to the Shangqing Sect to invite Master Tao down the mountain, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Shang Chaozong felt infinite guilt for this sister and always hoped that she would find a good home.
However, Feng Ruonan understands all of this.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that we can marry whoever we want you to marry. It's up to you to choose. Qing'er, don't worry. No matter who you choose, your brother will strictly check the character of the other person and will never let you marry casually. Someone whose personal character is unreliable. You can rest assured on that."
…
After the matter was finalized, Feng Ruonan immediately threw the child away and gave it to his servants to take care of, and focused entirely on preparing for Shang Shuqing's garden visit.
Staying indoors, wearing jewelry, dressing up in various clothes, it was really a matter of changing everything, Feng Ruonan personally helped to take care of it.
Shang Chaozong, who usually requires saving money, is open to convenience this time. As long as his sister can use it, he can spend the money.
Shang Shuqing usually doesn't like to wear clothes that are too tight. She is worried about attracting criticism because she is ugly.
This time, Feng Ruonan was really surprised after putting on clothes that were more restrictive and showed off her figure. She had bathed with Shang Shuqing and knew that Shang Shuqing had an enviable figure, but it was the first time that Shang Shuqing dressed like this. See you once.
If you don't look at the face, the back and the profile are really so beautiful that even a woman's heart will move when she sees her.
Because of this, Feng Ruonan was really sorry. If it weren't for that face, how could she be worried about getting married with her sister-in-law's figure?
And this showing the pure and beautiful side of Shang Shu is exactly what Feng Ruonan wants.
When visiting the garden the next day, Shang Shuqing appeared in front of a group of young talents. She was dressed like this, except for a white gauze hat.
This was also arranged by Feng Ruonan, trying to cover up Shang Shu's ugly side and letting everyone see Shang Shu's beautiful side.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, the eyes of the young talents were immediately attracted by Shang Shuqing's graceful figure. It seemed that they could not imagine that a woman with such a beautiful figure could really have a face as ugly as the legend. .
During the subsequent contact process, Shang Shuqing's demeanor and pleasant conversation attracted the attention of some young talents who had been reluctant before coming.
Feng Ruonan was determined to show the good side of his sister-in-law, and specially arranged projects such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Shang Shuqing was able to pick up poetry, calligraphy, painting, piano and singing at her fingertips, which impressed many young talents, who were all surprised by the extraordinary talent of this legendary ugly girl.
The young talents who can come here to visit the garden are naturally willing to marry, and they all come with the intention of marrying, no matter how ugly Shang Shuqing is.
However, Shang Shuqing also had his own considerations. He took advantage of projects such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to test himself, and finally found someone he liked among the crowd. He could only choose one, not a bunch.
After the garden tour, the results were obtained, and the news reached the ears of Shang Chaozong.
Shang Chaozong carefully looked at the identity and origins of the person selected by Shang Shuqing, and immediately called out his hand and ordered, "Check! Strictly check the detailed identity background of the three generations of this person's ancestors, and make sure to find out what his character is, and there must be no oversight!"
He was a little nervous. His sister finally found one, but he must not find out anything wrong.
But there is no way. People of their status must be on guard against those who are plotting evil intentions. The matter is so important that it cannot be done without investigation.
…
Outside Guimian Pavilion, Ju An smiled as he looked at the people slowly climbing up the stairs. He quickly walked out of the cornice, greeted him and accompanied him, "Why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than Wen Mo'er.
Wen Mo'er smiled and handed out the basket in her hand, "Can't I come and see you?"
"Of course." Ju'an took a look at the basket, opened the lid, and saw a basket of fruits. He couldn't help but smile happily, "I still remember that it was this fruit that I gave you as a gift for the first time. I waited until today to wait for it. Return the favor.”
Wen Mo'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just talking nonsense, I'm not afraid of others hearing the joke." She subconsciously looked at the scattered guards nearby.
Ju'an: "It's far away and can't be heard."
Wen Mo'er left him first and walked to the steps outside the closed gate of Guimian Pavilion. She bowed to the gate and then walked back to Ju An. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and looked at each other. See the continuous mountain scenery outside the cliff.
There was disharmony at the beginning, but now they all accept their fate and let nature take its course. After getting along for a long time, the relationship between husband and wife has gradually developed.
In the vague thatched cottage courtyard that the two of them could see, Guan Fangyi stood on the high pavilion facing the wind, her makeup still exquisite.
She is always like this. As long as she has the conditions, no matter where she is, she will dress herself up beautifully every day, as if she is waiting for someone. Of course she wasn't waiting for Niu Youdao. Before she knew Niu Youdao, she was like this.
Of course, now there is a mentality of looking forward to waiting for Niu Youdao's safe return.
For now, she felt relieved as she occasionally received letters from Niu Youdao, at least knowing that Niu Youdao was still alive.
As long as Niu Youdao's letter comes, the relationship between her and Yuan Gang will not be in trouble.
Boom! When the bell rang, Guan Fangyi looked in the direction of the Buddhist hall. There, after the Taoist master left, Yuanfang went there diligently.
She went to listen and heard Yuanfang chanting sutras and praying, asking the Buddha to bless the Taoist master for his safe return.
There were several monks cultivating the vegetables in the vegetable field outside the courtyard. On the surface, everything seemed to be normal.
…
In the Xuan Pavilion, the document delivery personnel from Heishui Terrace entered and placed a stack of rolled confidential documents in front of Shao Pingbo who was sitting upright.
Shao Pingbo reached out and took it. After tearing the seal, his eyes suddenly squinted and fell on the face of the messenger. He found that the other person was smiling but had no intention of leaving. This was a bit abnormal, at least different from usual.
Seeing Shao Pingbo staring at him, the messenger turned back to look at Shao Sansheng aside, saying nothing, keeping everything in mind.
Shao Pingbo had some understanding and tilted his head to indicate to Shao Sansheng.
Shao Sansheng immediately turned around and left Xuan Pavilion.
After slowly opening the case file in his hand, Shao Pingbo asked: "But what other orders does your Majesty or Manager Tao have?"
The messenger looked around, took out something from his sleeve, and placed it in front of Shao Pingbo. It was a token.
When Shao Pingbo saw the relief pattern on the token, his expression suddenly changed and he suddenly raised his head, "Are you from Piaomiao Pavilion?"
"Shh!" The messenger whispered, leaned over and took the token back.
Shao Pingbo's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty. He knew that Piaomiao Pavilion monitors the world, but he didn't expect that even the person who arranged the document transmission at Blackwater Tower was also from Piaomiao Pavilion. So wouldn't it mean that many things here have been under the control of Piaomiao Pavilion for a long time?
At the same time, a burst of excitement surged in his heart. He knew that since the people from Piaomiao Pavilion had exposed their identities in front of him, they must have come to find him.
This was an opportunity to establish a relationship with Piaomiaoge. Shao Pingbo stood up and said, "How can I be sure that you are not a fake?"
Messenger: "It doesn't matter whether it's fake or not. You can judge the authenticity by yourself. I came here under orders. Now, there is something you need to do."
Shao Pingbo looked at the other party and said slowly: "I am trapped here and can't do anything."
Messenger: "Since I can find you, you are naturally capable of doing it. Listen carefully, the battle of defense that you presided over can begin."
Shao Pingbo frowned: "If the court doesn't agree to this, I can't make the decision."
Messenger: "This is the reason why I'm looking for you. We must convince Tai Shuxiong to start the battle against the guards as soon as possible."
Shao Pingbo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since it is the meaning of Piaomiao Pavilion, Piaomiao Pavilion only needs to send a message to Qiyun Sect, so why should I do such an uncertain thing."
Messenger: "Piao Miao Pavilion has always been secretive about what it does. There are naturally reasons why you are asked to do it. You don't need to ask too much. You just need to remember one thing. If things succeed, you will live. If things fail, you will die. Who can I guarantee? Nothing can save you."
Shao Pingbo: "I can't confirm your identity, so I can't agree to it."
The messenger raised his chin towards the scroll on the case and said, "The fifth picture is about Niu Youdao's situation in the holy territory. You and him are mortal enemies, and you will need our help. Again, the same sentence, If you fail, you will die. If you don't agree, you will definitely not survive today! Don't think about making other plans, you have no choice." After that, he turned around and left.
After watching the other party leave, Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered for a while. He suddenly turned around and sat down, flipping to the fifth piece of paper and taking it out to check.
