In the blink of an eye, Steward Wang is already in front of Su Qian Meng..
As soon as the middle aged man is kneeling in front of her.Su Qian Meng raised her left brow and smirked.."it seems my husband to be truly cares for his reputation..".she said smilingly to herself
" this servant is greatly wronged...nubi let the wangfei suffer grievance, and let our wangfu lose it's face...this servant life cannot compare to the great wangfei...please end this servant insignificant life to calm wangfei...".steward wang said with his eyes full of resolution..
"THUD"
Everyone can hear a loud noise and drops of blood flowing from his forehead..
"THUD, THUD, THUD"
This man didn't stop kowtowing in front of Su Qian Meng...the jade floor is covered by his blood...the smell spread it's scent around the wangfu..they can't help but look at the red clad woman who didn't even move an inch...her posture is calm and there is an air of righteousness around her graceful figure..
The 2 guards also kneel and kowtowing in front of Su Qian Meng without hesitation...
"The servant in Duan Wangfu is no ordinary...they have undying loyalty to a man who doesn't even bother to help them here...they are willing to bow their heads despite of their high martial art skill.." Su Qian Meng said, after observing their action..
When Su Qian Meng can feel the people in her front going to faint due to loss of blood...she elegantly help the middle aged man stand and press his acupuncture point to stop the bleeding and also with the other guards...
They were bewildered but as soon as they recover their minds..Su Qian Meng already stop the blood flows...her skill is accurate, swift and perfect..she doesn't even need a second to do the deed..
This wangfei is full of surprises...
"Head Steward, even though bengong doesn't want to shed her filthy blood in front of the magnificent Duan Wangfu, but a servants like you dare..?."
Instantly the 3 people pale and doesn't know what to do anymore...they intentionally stop this woman to leave and have enough time to prepare the sedan...but who knows this woman is hard to please....just what does she want..??
"But bengong witness all of your devotion and loyalty to Duan Wangfu and wangye...this wangfei cannot even compare...bengong cannot wait to have you serve me with those genuine feeling..." her eyes glint slyly..These man is useful to stable my position in duan wangfu.....
They can't help but felt a sudden cold running through their spine...they can already see themselves stepping in this woman trap..
"Wangfei is the greatest blessing of Duan Wangfu...wangfei is benevolent and epitome of a noble woman who is fit to be the Duan Wangfei.."
"wangfei experience lots of troubles marrying our wangye...even in a situation of assassination..wangfei show a calm temperament. ..one of a kind woman..."steward wang said full of respect..
"This servant will certainly find the culprit who dare to scare wangfei"....steward wang immediately deploy the 2 guards to investigate...
"Since Steward Wang is eager to seek justice for bengong....no need to report to the minister of justice...bengomg doesn't want to make any unnecessary trouble to wangye...bengong believe that the culprit will be severely punish by the heavens...." Su Qian Meng said with a calm voice, there is no grudge nor sadness....
The black clothed person which is hiding in the tree, feel a sudden chill in his body..being punished by the heavens?...unconsciously cold sweat is forming in his forehead...
That person is Xi Zhie..he was ordered by Hong Tian to reveal the face of the future mistress and observe her every moves...
He swear that he will ask the yuan sword as the compensation..even though he knows that the woman isn't aware of his identity, but he can't help but be anxious...
------
Steward Wang can't help but be worried...he knows that dart comes from lord Xi Zhie, the personal guard of wangye..
But as Steward Wang see the sedan coming towards them..he instantly kneel again and made a fist with his two hands tightly clasp in front of Su Qian Meng...
He loudly exclaimed" With everyone as a witness..wangfei is truly a virtuous woman with an extraordinary bearing, with her reputation wrongly accused and tainted, but despite of this...Duan Wangfu will receive our great wangfei and grateful to our dragon emperor to bestow a fortunate and perfect marriage"...
Then a grand red cloth eight person sedan came out from the Duan Wangfu...
The sedan is made of the most expensive wood that gives a fresh fragrance..the red silk is also made from the highest grade of silk cloth...anyone can see how extravagant the Duan Wangfu is...in front of the magnificent sedan is a procession of dozen of delicate and beautiful girls, spreading and throwing various kind of roses...
Such a scene is trully mystical with a hint of elegance, those girls is dancing with their light and graceful steps, but towards their wangfei it was only a show for the crowd..
She just turn her head towards the direction of the procession...there is no hint of appreciation nor adoration, like someone who can't be pleased by any mortal things..
After she took a glance at the red clothed sedan, she immediately look back at middle aged man that is currently kneeling in front of her...
"How can bengong refuse this great honor, to trouble wangye to prepare a magnificent sedan just to pick bengong...this trully give honor to oneself...." her voice like a sweet caramel, so appetizing yet somewhat cold and distant...
Her steps is light like a butterfly but more graceful than a swan, before she enter the sedan...she said with her tender voice without looking back.."Steward, your wangye acknowledgement certainly bring an unimaginable happiness to bengong..." then her voice became louder.." bengong hopes that those unhappy events this day shall be forgotten and treat it like a fleeting rain..this wangfei is forgiving, we shall not dwell in the past but also not forgot the lesson that we attained.."
When these words were heard, silence enveloped the surrounding
.among the crowd is the great general Jiang Mo Chen, after they discussed the important matter, he immediately flee to witness personally the commotion in front of duan wangfu and the wangfei of Hong Tian.
He was truly dumbstruck, this woman is well versed in medical, those fast and accurate hands were seen by his eyes, her aura is noble...much nobler than any women he ever met, even the imperial family can't compare..
But her words are the thing that struck his soul, her voice is gentle and sweet but he can sense a person that undergone a terrible life..it's pity he haven't seen her face..
Her strong straight back..there is no weakness to spare, like a warrior that can't be killed by any physical wound..
This woman is truly an interesting one, Jiang Mo Chen said...with his eyes glued at the red clad woman, never wanting to part with her figure..
-----
Inside the sedan is much luxurious than the outside, there is a distinct calm fragrance, her seat is covered by a smooth silver fox fur, that gives a satisfying feeling, it was impossible not to feel comfort..
As the eight person raise the sedan, a very white skin hand with a slender long fingers can be seen..
"Mu Jin, take all the dowry and let the beautiful maidens of duan wangfu carry it with bengong, let the servants from Su Manor return..." her voice full of authority..
"Is the head steward satisfy to what bengong wants to do?"
Even Steward Wang can't see her face, he knew wangfei is testing him, whether if she is trully acknowledged as the mistress of Duan Wangfu and to let the crowd witness this..
Steward Wang immediately kneel beside the sedan " this small servant doesn't dare to decide, wangfei is now the mistress of Duan Wangfu, whatever wangfei order shall be followed without delay "..
And all the servants kneel
The servants from Su Manor can't do anything but to give the dowry and return..
Yun Yiniang let them accompany the eldes miss to spy the Duan Wangfu, but they haven't even step foot inside, they were already ask to leave, even if they wang to refuse, the Duan Wangfu already acknowledged this mistress, they can only lower their heads..
"Proceed" Su Qian Meng said and retrieve her hand.
Her face carried a blooming smile..." this will be my first step"..her eyes full of mischief..
