Chapter 8, The Beloved Concubine of the Alliance Leader

Bai Ye Jinghang chuckled lightly: "Moreover, I am searching for beauties one courtyard at a time."

Little did they know that this time the flower thief was truly skilled in martial arts, while Jiang Qingran was merely a high achiever with low capability, lacking much experience in the martial world. The young woman they had protected for an entire night was unexpectedly abducted by the flower thief! The young women in the nearby villages were instantly filled with fear.

Boh Ye Jinghang unexpectedly poured another glass of wine, clinked glasses with her slightly, and drank it down: "He is not mute, can't he find someone to ask?"

Zhou's expression grew increasingly unpleasant, and Jiang Qingliu let out a long sigh: "Alright, the grandson will go with you."

Dan Wanchan thought for a moment: "This is where Aunt Luhua lives." Bo Yejinghang nodded, and Dan Wanchan did not understand: "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Qingliu is truly perplexed; how is it that after just a few days away, he feels disconnected from the villa: "Great-grandmother, what do you mean by favoring a concubine over a wife? I am merely concerned about Wan Chan, and I must first make a trip to the back mountain."

Jiang Qingliu abruptly lifted her up and, without saying a word, intended to take her away. Suddenly, a cold snort came from behind: "Jiang Qingliu! Do you still regard your great-grandmother with any respect now?"

This is a significant matter for Chenbi Mountain Villa, as Jiang Yintian reprimanded Jiang Qingran and then sent someone to notify Jiang Qingliu

Hmm..." Hoshino Kei thought seriously for a moment, "Generally, it is they who are afraid of me."

Dan Wanchan finally managed to steady herself, her body still leaning backward: "What do you want to do?"

Ah! Bo Ye Jingxing entered, and the housekeeper had not yet arrived. Indeed, there was a fat mouse in the room, brazenly stealing pastries from the table, as if it were in a place devoid of any presence. Bo Ye Jingxing grabbed the gray mouse and pulled it out. This mouse was quite large, weighing at least half a pound. Shan Wanchen kept retreating, saying, "Throw it away, quickly throw it away"

She spoke with such seriousness that Dan Wanchan was truly frightened: "I will go find great-grandfather!"

Bohaya Jingxing waved his hand and said, "Enough with the nonsense, quickly take me away from this place"

And with a start, Jiang Qingliu was at a loss for words regarding the *picture* book list. In any case, it was too late to say anything now! Without further ado, he headed straight to the west wing, where Bo Ye Jingxing, dressed in spring attire, was sitting on a lounge chair under the plum tree. On the table, there was a pot of fine wine, half a roll of colored silk, and a paintbrush.

He suddenly remembered—Hakuya Keiko bathing together with Dan Wanchan, the beloved concubine in the golden house

In the evening, someone came to find Jiang Qingliu, stating that a highly skilled flower thief had appeared nearby. This matter should be handled by the authorities, but the constables may not be able to apprehend him in time. Moreover, these thieves are roaming around, and if they cannot be caught here, they could cause harm to many young women elsewhere.

Jiang Qingliu nodded slightly, responding with a "yes," and then suddenly raised her head: "To favor a concubine and eliminate the wife?!"

Dan Wan Chan got up and said, "I am going to find great-grandfather"

He walked through the courtyard when suddenly he heard a cold snort behind him: "Just got home, not even a breath taken, and already looking for a wife. Not even caring about the great-grandmother."

Although Dan Wanchan knew that fighting and killing were common occurrences in the martial world, it was the first time someone had come to the Chenbi Mountain Villa in the dead of night. She forced herself to drink a cup of wine, her face already flushed: "I wonder if great-grandfather will be able to catch the thief who abducted Aunt."

Dan Wan Chan did not hold it against her, and prepared a bowl of rouge dew for her. Fearing that she might indulge, she only heated a small pot of wine. As she was about to return to her room, Bo Ye Jing Hang set aside the small silver spoon used for the rouge dew, tilted his head back, and drank half a bowl in one gulp, then wiped his mouth: "What is the place three courtyards to the west from here?"

In the end, Jiang Qingliu was unable to take Bo Ye Jingxing away, and he could only remind Shan Wanchan that this person harbored ulterior motives and that she must not get too close. The matter of Jingfeng Dock was not yet resolved, and he still had to leave.

Zhen said: "The matter of favoring a concubine over a wife is absolutely not allowed to happen in our Jiang family"

Great-grandmother Zhou wore a triumphant expression as she watched him ride away. Then, turning back to face Bo Ye Jingxing, she tightened her face and said: "The Chenbi Mountain Villa is unlike any other place; you must be clear about your identity and remember the distinctions of rank. Your only task now is to help the Chenbi Mountain Villa expand and flourish. If you entertain even the slightest thought of deceit, I shall not spare you!"

Bohyeo Jinghang nonchalantly drank, saying: "It's nothing, it seems that a flower thief is heading towards her."

Zhou said again with a cane: "Qingliu! You are truly absent-minded these days! It would be one thing if you hurried back after just a few days away, but look at your dazed appearance! The Jiang family has nurtured you for over ten years, yet you let a woman steal your soul!"

The river's flow came to a halt, and turning back, he saw that Zhou's chest was heaving violently, clearly indicating her great anger. He could only say: "Great-grandmother, this person is not my grandson's concubine! I will take her away right now!"

Bai Ye Jinghang laughed heartily: "Silly girl. Just sit down, in the entire Chenbi Mountain Villa, who could be more enticing than the wife of the leader of the martial arts alliance"

Bai Ye Jinghang grasped her fair wrist and said, "No need, I happen to have something I would like to ask the visitor."

Zhou said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Qingliu could only stop in his tracks, and indeed, there stood the silver-haired Zhou matriarch in the vermilion corridor. He was anxious and restless, yet he could only pause: "Great-grandmother."

What Zhou said, Jiang Qingliu really did not listen attentively. ... Just thinking about the hot spring pool in the back mountain, that old scoundrel actually bathed together with Dan Wanchan ... . ... Even though his composure was quite good, he still felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

The person laughed heartily, their voice deliberately refined and clear: "Interesting. I am dressed in floral patterns, and you must be Madam Shan Wanchang, the wife of the esteemed Jiang Mengzhu? I have long heard of your beauty, and now that I see you in person, I am truly delighted."

Bai Ye Jingxing has already found a small silver knife for peeling fruit, and is preparing to gut the mouse by the lake. Dan Wan Chan was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Don't... don't do that! What do you want to eat? I will have the kitchen prepare it!"

However, she could not pretend to be dead for long, and soon a piercing scream echoed from Shan Wanchan's courtyard. The maid Lingyin quickly ran out, presumably to summon help from the courtyard. Bo Ye Jingxing removed the Xuan paper and the round fan that were covering his face, and then leisurely strolled inside.

Even the clear river cannot articulate the truth. Witnessing the unending dispute between the grandfather and grandson, Bo Ye Jingxing simply covered his face with a round fan and continued to sleep—the fan still belonged to Dan Wan Chan.

Zhou raised his face and asked: "What urgent matter is it?"

Dan Wanchan was momentarily bewildered: "Will he come to find me? But how does he know me?"

Thin Wild Old Thief

Bang! Zhou raised his cane and said, "Let her go immediately. Since you have married her, she should be well taken care of at home! If you want to take her out with you, how can people distinguish between a wife and a concubine?"

The leader of the Jiang faction is bewildered—are you all truly certain that it was not she who abducted the flower thief

Dan Wanchan stood at the door, her delicate face turning pale with shock. Upon seeing her, they immediately approached and exclaimed: "There is... there is a mouse in the room!"

The Chenbi Mountain Villa was in a state of great anger, and Jiang Yintian immediately brought people with him, vowing to dismember this little thief into eight pieces. Shan Wanchang felt a bit frightened, and Bo Yejingxing poured her a glass of wine: "I am here, my little wife, what is there to fear? Come, let us drink a glass."

Seeing the beauty sitting gracefully in the room, the visitor was somewhat taken aback: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Where does the leader Jiang have the time to care about this: "Go away!"

Jiang Qingliu was just about to rush towards the back mountain when suddenly the steward stopped him: "Master of the estate, the matriarch requests your immediate presence."

Bohong Jingxing was quite surprised: "Do you believe it?"

Dan Wanchan was truly anxious, stamping her feet in distress, and quickly sent someone to notify the clan leader, Jiang Yintian. Jiang Yintian was still somewhat skeptical, but after sending someone in to take a look, it was indeed confirmed that the bedroom was already empty.

I ... ... '' Jiang Qingliu stroked his forehead, `` Great-grandmother, I ... ... ''

Dan Wan Chan did not hesitate: "Of course I believe www.hetushu.com.com."

Jiang Qingliu is really about to faint: "Grandma, where would I get any gold..."

However, when it reached the hour of Zi at night, Bo Ye Jingxing heard a faint sound on the roof tiles. She wrapped herself in a robe and sat up; the sound came from afar and grew closer, finally stopping at the ridge of the roof. She opened the window and saw that Dan Wanchan in the neighboring courtyard had not yet gone to sleep, with a shadow faintly reflected on the window. Bo Ye Jingxing yawned, and she had already stepped out: "Are you hungry?"

Seeing Bohan Jingxing looking gloomy, Dan Wanchan couldn't help but laugh, so she had to make another rouge pill for her

Dan Wanchan unconsciously leaned closer to him and asked, "Are you saying the thief is still at the villa?"

Zhou shouted angrily: "Are you still lying? Are you truly worried about Wanchan, or are you concerned about your beloved concubine suffering injustice?"

Half an hour later, there was a great commotion at the Chenbi Mountain Villa—thieves had broken into the villa and abducted the leader's concubine

Jiang Qingliu supported her shoulders with both hands, looked her up and down, and then asked: "You and that old... that guy from the west room..."

Bohye Jinghang nodded slightly, speaking without any politeness: "A bowl of rouge dew, a jar of flower carving."

Moments later, a faint fragrance of orchids wafted in with the wind. Shan Wanchan felt her head grow heavy and slowly leaned over the table, falling asleep. Bo Yejinghang finished his last drink, and the door was pushed open. A man dressed in a moon-white shirt entered. He wore a jade flute at his waist and had his hair tied with a silk ribbon, exuding an air of elegance.

What! Shan Zheng was so startled that she jumped up, while Bo Ye Jingxing shook his head and said: "Isn't Aunt Luohua beautiful? There are actually people coming to seek her out by scent. When will you introduce me to her?"

The person was taken aback for a moment, then immediately filled with joy: "I did not expect the lady to be so eager, please come in."

Jiang Qingliu's forehead throbbed intensely, and he pressed his hand against it: "Wan Chan, what are you doing?"

Bohong Jingxing was still sleeping on the recliner, with a round fan covering his face. At this moment, he simply pulled the half roll of rice paper to cover his face as well—having been confined for thirty years, it felt as if he could no longer understand human speech

However..." Jiang Qingliu glanced towards the direction of the back mountain, "It is not... Great-grandmother, I truly have urgent matters..."

The Chenbi Mountain Villa is indeed a prominent family in the martial arts world, and naturally, there are many skilled individuals. Jiang Yintian sent Jiang Qingran, the younger cousin of Jiang Qingliu, to go. Undoubtedly, this is Jiang Yintian's intended replacement for Jiang Qingliu.

It is as if addressing a shop assistant, indeed showing a complete lack of awareness of social hierarchy

Bai Ye Jinghang packed some clothes, then thought for a moment, and went to Shan Wanchan's room to wrap the pillow-sized purple jade box in cloth, handing it over to Chuan Huadie to carry, and soon they exited the Chenbi Villa

When the house servants arrived, the mouse had already turned into a golden roasted mouse, glistening with oil and exuding a delightful aroma. Then, Banye Jingxing sadly realized that he could not eat it, while the two house servants happily carried away the fragrant mouse meat.

Seeing him suddenly rush back, Dan Wanchan was overjoyed: "Husband! You have returned!"

Bai Ye Jinghang, with great interest, lifted the large rat, shaking it in his hand and said: "Why throw it away? In the past, when I was imprisoned, I would have eagerly welcomed a rat coming in."

Jiang Qingliu could no longer afford to hesitate, and rushed out of the Zhou family's room as if his eyebrows were on fire. When he arrived at the back mountain, the hot spring was completely empty. He then returned to Shan Wanchan's residence, only to find her sitting by the window, sewing a summer dress. A summer dress for a woman

By the time the matter reached Jiang Qingliu's ears, the entire martial world already knew that he had a stunningly beautiful concubine—who had been abducted by a flower thief

Bai Ye Jinghang shook her head: "Of course he can't catch up." Seeing Shan Wanchan looking up at her, she lazily smiled, "He's a flower thief, in the dark, how could he see clearly who is in the room and what they look like? That's why he went to your aunt's courtyard. With so many young ladies and wives here, he must be hiding somewhere, just waiting for Jiang Yintian to bring people to search. The entire villa has been stirred up, and the young ladies and wives definitely wouldn't dare to sleep. With so many young ladies and wives here, he must be hiding somewhere, just waiting for Jiang Yintian to bring people to search. The entire villa has been stirred up, and the young ladies and wives definitely wouldn't dare to sleep. Using the light, his target becomes much clearer.
