Chapter 64: Letting a Wolf Into the House

Heng Yi left overnight. When he found White Tea, hewas already snoring.

He quickly got up, packed up, and drove the carriage to Puyi County.

Heng Yi had never been married before, so he didn’t know how to buy a wedding dress or a phoenix coronet. He could only look for the experienced He Hong.

Heng Yi asked White Tea when the carriage was slow at night.

“Go to the clothing store and ask?”

“Let’s go find He Hong first.”

The two of them didn’t know anything, so they couldn’t talk about the same thing.

…..

They slowly arrived at Puyi County. The sky was still dark.

They waited at the city gate for it to open.

The two of them leaned against the carriage wall and dozed off.

“Move aside, move aside!”

Hearing the shout, White Tea was shocked.

Seeing the armored people rushing over, he quickly jumped off the carriage and pulled it to the side.

Heng Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage and watched the leader jump off the horse. “Wei Lingguan has reported an emergency report. They have arrived at Puyi County for supplies. Open the city gates.”

The leader waved the flag in his hand.

Soon, the city gates opened.

The two of them exchanged a few words before the group entered the city.

Heng Yi slowly lowered the curtain.

He only frowned slightly.

“Master Heng, the battle is about to begin!” White Tea said.

“What do you mean?” Heng Yi asked.

“That flag was sent by an enemy country. The border has already been breached, so it appeared in a hurry.”

Heng Yi was silent.

He clenched his fist slightly and then slowly released it.

“Let’s enter the city!”

“Oh, okay!”

White Tea replied absent-mindedly before driving the carriage into the city.

“White Tea, I’ve never asked you where you’re from.”

II

II

White Tea was stunned.

After a long while, he said, “I was a servant by the side of the Duke’s estate’s heir in my early years. The Duke’s estate was fired, and all the masters were sent to a cold and bitter place. This servant was sold…”

“We personal servants know too much. Many people don’t want us to live.”

II

II

Heng Yi was silent.

He had never thought about the origin of White Tea, nor had he asked about it.

Firstly, he didn’t care, and secondly, he felt that it was unnecessary.

“What are your plans for the future?” Heng Yi asked.

White Tea looked at Heng Yi.

“Lord Heng?”

“If I give you freedom, what are your plans? You know martial arts, right?”

“Whoa!” White Tea stopped the carriage.

He looked at Heng Yi in shock.

“I can’t give you a lot of money, but I can bring you into the mountains to hunt a tiger. The Feng family has some connections. Master Feng is a generous person. He will give you a sum of money and help you get an identity.”

White Tea looked at Heng Yi.

He had never really understood Heng Yi.

Heng Yi wasn’t stupid, but he didn’t have a goal, and he lived a muddled life.

However, when he was with Han Qiao and she taught her daughters, White Tea listened and slowly learned a little. He also gradually became more alert.

He saw that White Tea understood a lot of things that he didn’t.

He guessed that White Tea’s background was not simple.

In the past three years, White Tea had never revealed anything. He had never looked down on him, nor had he fooled him.

He thought that White Tea should have something of his own.

It would be a waste to follow him.

“Lord Heng…”

“Let’s take a look at the wedding dress first. Then, we’ll go to the Feng family. I can help lead the way. Master Feng will arrange for the people to hunt the tiger.”

White Tea nodded slightly.

“Master Heng, I…”

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!

II

They arrived at the He family first.

He Hong’s house was quite big, but the one who opened the door was a pretty little girl. She smiled at White Tea and then looked at Heng Yi.

“Come in quickly. I’ll call my sister and brother-in-law!”

1Q11

White Tea was speechless.

Heng Yi didn’t understand.

He Hong quickly came out. “Big brother Heng, why are you here?”

“I came to look for you for something.”

“Please take a seat.”

Heng Yi found that there were not only old women in He Hong’s house, but also maids serving tea and a manservant.

Heng Yi didn’t ask who the pretty girl was.

“I want to buy a wedding dress and a phoenix crown for Sister Ah Qiao.”

…..

He Hong smiled and said, “then I know where they sell finished products. The price is reasonable, and the products are not bad.”

“Let’s go then.”

He Hong immediately stood up and let the servant girl tell Zhao Huan ‘niang.

“Brother-in-law, where are you going?”

He Hong looked at Zhao Yun ‘niang who was running over. “I’m going out for a while.”

Zhao Yunniang still wanted to say something.

He Hong turned around and left, ignoring her.

She pouted and turned to look for her cousin, Zhao Huan ‘niang.

“You saw Heng Yi?” Zhao Huanniang asked, leaning on the chair.

He looked listless and didn’t have much energy.

His eyes were gloomy and somewhat terrifying.

“I saw it.”

“Do you like him?” Zhao Huanniang looked at Zhao Yunniang.

Zhao Yunniang blushed and nodded.

She stole a glance at Zhao Yunniang and didn’t tell her that she actually liked her brother-in-law and Hong more.

Heng Yi’s face was cold, and he didn’t even look at her.

She was not as gentle and kind as her brother-in-law.

He was not as handsome and considerate as his brother-in-law.

Zhao Huan ‘niang sneered. “I understand. You can leave now.”

“Oh!”

After Zhao Yunniang left the house, Zhao Huanniang slowly looked at the door, her eyes filled with hatred.

She hated Heng Yi and the Han family. If they didn’t get married and didn’t go to the county, He Hong wouldn’t know that she took the silver back to her family.

He wouldn’t have had a grudge against her, and he wouldn’t have caused her to lose her husband’s love and her child.

She was so unhappy, so why should they be happy?

He Hong brought Heng Yi to the clothing store.

After explaining their intentions, the shopkeeper led them to the second floor. There were a few sets of wedding dresses hanging on the shelves on the second floor. The phoenix crown and shawl were symmetrical.

“This wedding dress was embroidered for two months. The embroidery skills are exquisite…”

The shopkeeper introduced the price of each set.

The most expensive one cost one hundred and thirty taels, but Heng Yi didn’t like it. He liked the other one, which cost one hundred and ten taels, because the color was redder and more correct. The groom’s suit was also bright red, which was more suitable.

He liked it even more.

It was also more suitable for the slim Han Qiao.

“I want this set!

II

“They will personally come to the bride’s place to take her size and send her the most fitting wedding dress.”

“Yes!

II

Heng Yi nodded with satisfaction.

He Hong looked at Heng Yi.

He thought back to when he and Zhao Huan ‘niang got married. Was there such joy and anticipation? Or personally choose the wedding dress, phoenix coronet, veil, and so on?

The answer was no.

A wedding dress worth more than a hundred taels could be exchanged for a house in the county town. Would he be willing to do so?

In the past, he might not even frown, but what about today?

He Hong asked himself.

He wouldn’t.

It was too difficult to earn money without a foundation and a backer.

After leaving the clothing store, Heng Yi invited Hong and White Tea to eat something.

“Let’s go eat steamed buns and wontons.”

He Hong was a little surprised.

Heng Yi had never made any requests before. No matter what he cooked or ate, he had no objections.

But today…

He Hong looked at Heng Yi and found that he was wearing new clothes. He wasn’t as cold and unapproachable as before. He was easygoing, calm, and indifferent.

He had never seen such a good spirit..
