Chapter 338: No Return (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Bai Tang woke up, she found herself holding a wooden stick in her right hand and lying on an unfamiliar bed. She fainted for a moment and after confirming that she was not dreaming, she hurriedly sat up. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her clothes were intact and that there was nothing wrong with her body.
She remembered that she had drugged that bastard. After that, she planned to call for help, but in the blink of an eye, she was lying on this bed. Could it be that she was drunk?
Bai Tang looked at the wooden stick in her hand and wondered why she had this.
Bai Tang held her dizzy head and walked off the bed. She went around the screen and was shocked. Why was there a person on the ground?
It was no wonder that Bai Tang did not recognize him. It was really because Helian Qi had been beaten up too badly that his parents could not recognize him, let alone Bai Tang, who had only seen him once.
However, Bai Tang looked at his clothes and thought about the series of situations before she “fell drunk”. She vaguely guessed that this was the bastard who tried to get his hands on her.
Strange, who beat him up like this?
Bai Tang looked at the wooden stick in her hand.
Uh… Could it be that she did it? She was drunk, so she beat this bastard up?
Bai Tang coughed lightly and puffed up her chest proudly. It was something she would do. After all, she was so heroic.
Bai Tang squatted down and knocked his head with a stick. “Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, right? You don’t dare to have any ideas about me now, right?”
Since she had already taught him a lesson, Bai Tang did not plan to stay here any longer. She had never thought of reporting to the authorities. After all, once this matter got out, it would damage her reputation. She did not want this fellow to cause trouble for her instead of going to jail.
Moreover, he had been taught a terrible lesson by her. No matter how many knots there were in Bai Tang’s heart, they were untied, so she went downstairs in a good mood.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s business was too good and it was extremely busy. Therefore, although the shopkeeper knew that Bai Tang had gone upstairs, he only thought that she was staying in Yu Wan’s accounting room and did not suspect that she had entered the same room as a strange man.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion had two stairs. The hall was far away, but the one behind the corner of the accountant’s room went straight to the backyard. She didn’t know about it at first, but the little fellows told her. Bai Tang walked closer to the courtyard. Fortunately, the little fellows were all there. They were squatting on the ground and poking ants happily. The coachman who was monitoring them was gone elsewhere. Bai Tang didn’t care about the coachman. She only cared about the children.
She was the one who brought them out. If something happened to them, how would she answer to Yu Wan?
Bai Tang walked over and sized them up. “Are you alright?”
The three of them looked at her in confusion.
It seemed like they were fine. Bai Tang heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid of scaring the little fellows, so she did not dare to say anything.
Coincidentally, Zi Su and Jiang Hai had also returned after buying candied hawthorn and snacks.
The three little fellows each grabbed a stick of candied hawthorn and started chewing.
Seeing them eat without a care in the world, Bai Tang finally felt relieved.
No one else knew about this, so Bai Tang could hide it. However, after returning to the Young Master Manor, Bai Tang still told Yu Wan about this. Bai Tang did not know who that bastard was. She only knew that he wasn’t from the capital, but she could not guess that he was from another country.
Yu Wan had not guessed that it was General Wei Yuan for the time being, but no matter who it was, it was really too much to dare to snatch a woman in broad daylight.
“Fortunately, you’re smart,” Yu Wan said.
“You don’t blame me. I almost…” Bai Tang’s gaze landed on a few fat children who were licking their candied hawthorns.
“How can this be your fault?” Yu Wan felt that Bai Tang’s guilt was really unnecessary. This kind of thing was just an accident. If she blamed her, wouldn’t it be equivalent to not eating for fear of choking?
Bai Tang looked at Yu Wan and confirmed that she was not being polite. She felt that Yu Wan was not an ordinary girl. If it were her, she would not have let go of this matter so easily. Indeed, a person’s horizons and breadth of mind were what really made her noble.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “I’ll make a roasted mutton leg for you to calm you down tonight!”
Bai Tang patted her chest and said, “What am I calming down for? Didn’t you see how badly I beat that guy up? He should be the one calming down!”
Yu Wan was amused by her and this matter was completely put aside. However, on the other side of the Imperial City, Helian Qi’s situation was not as optimistic as Bai Tang.
Helian Qi was discovered by the shop assistant of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. The shop assistant originally wanted to rush Helian Qi to settle the bill, but who knew that the moment he entered the door, he found that Helian Qi had been beaten up. The shop assistant hurriedly reported to the officials. After the officials arrived, they found the coachman who had fainted in the woodshed and carried the coachman and Helian Qi to the magistrate prefecture. The magistrate recognized Helian Qi and immediately informed the envoy of Nanzhao.
