Chapter 254 You Can Also Have It

Cheng Jiao didn't know that Yueshen went to destroy the pavilion in the middle of the lake early in the morning.

He had just seen Yan Fei off and came back to find that his door was blocked.

Lu Niangrong stood at the gate of Cheng Jiao's mansion with her arms folded across her chest, pouting and saying nothing.

Ali at the door was scratching his head. Who is this woman?
Could it be that the young master has incurred some romantic debt and now someone is here to collect the debt?

Ali used his imagination to speculate about the relationship between Lu Niangrong and Cheng Jiao, while trying to get some information out of Lu Niangrong.

"Miss, what do you want to do with my master?"

Lu Niangrong snorted, "I want to see Cheng Jiao, let him come out!"

When Ahri saw this girl who was older than herself, although she was impolite, she could tell that she was a delicate girl and must have an extraordinary background.

"My master is out, you may as well wait for him in the mansion."

Ali invited Lu Niangrong into the house again.

After all, the Jun Mansion is surrounded by noble families. If word gets out that there is a woman blocking the door, it will damage Cheng Jiao's reputation.

Lu Niangrong gently kicked the big stone lion at the gate of Cheng Jiao's mansion.

"I'm not going in."

Ahri was somewhat helpless: "Why?"

Lu Niangrong shook her head: "Nothing."

She didn't know why she didn't want to go in, but she felt that it would be difficult to get out once she got in.

Just don't go in.

Ali had a headache, looking at the weak but strong-willed girl in front of him, and he didn't know where Cheng Jiao had gotten the beauty from.

She was now half certain that this girl probably had an unclear relationship with the young master and was probably a woman kept outside, so she didn't dare to go in.

After following Cheng Jiao for such a long time, how could she not know what kind of person her own son is?

Just when Ali was about to persuade him again, Cheng Jiao walked over slowly.

Ahri subconsciously shouted, "Master!"

Lu Niangrong's body tensed up and she turned around stiffly.

Cheng Jiao was surprised and asked, "Niang Rong? Why are you coming to me instead of staying at your father's house?"

Lu Niangrong glanced at Ali.

Seeing that Lu Niangrong and Cheng Jiao seemed to have something to say, Ali said, "I'll go back home first."

Cheng Jiao invited, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Lu Niangrong shook her head and said, "No need."

After a pause, Lu Niangrong continued, "Seeing me here safely, I believe you already know that the man in black the night before was my father's man."

Cheng Jiao was somewhat surprised by Lu Niangrong's frankness.

"Um...so?"

Even if Lu Niangrong didn't say that she was not in front of him, he could be sure that the man in black with a broken arm was the old slave.

Lu Niangrong lowered her head and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so willful because you and Daddy were against each other at the court meeting and wanted to play a trick on you. The man in black was my uncle. He thought you bullied me, so he helped the Yin family deal with you, but Meng Niang and I knew about this."

Cheng Jiao shook his head slightly. This is not the way to lie.

Forget it. He didn't have any plans to do anything anyway, so he simply didn't expose Lu Niangrong.

"I see. Since it's just a misunderstanding, I won't pursue it."

Lu Niangrong suddenly looked up at Cheng Jiao, not knowing what to say.

She knew clearly what she said above, and it could be said that even she herself did not believe it, but she also had her own ideas.

I was just waiting for Cheng Jiao to question him, but it was just revealed like this?

"Then... Sir, can you please let Meng Niang go?"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "You know? Prime Minister Lu told you, right? Did Prime Minister Lu ask you to come here to ask for someone?"

After saying that, Cheng Jiao thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong.

"No no no..."

Lu Niangrong quickly shook her head, "Dad didn't say, I guessed."

Cheng Jiao hesitated. Guessing? It was possible. He didn't quite believe that Lu Buwei would let Niang Rong come to him.

"It's not that I don't want to let Meng Niang go, but Meng Niang likes this place and doesn't want to leave."

Lu Niangrong opened her mouth, speechless.

You don't even use this method to coax a child.

"Impossible, Niang Rong is my medical teacher, she is not that kind of person."

Cheng Jiao shrugged: "Don't believe it?"

Lu Niangrong shook her head vigorously. She didn't believe that Meng Niang would abandon her.

"Then let's go in and have a look."

After saying that, Cheng Jiao walked into the mansion. Lu Niangrong hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed him.

She had to confirm this, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

After entering Cheng Jiao's mansion, Lu Niangrong looked around intentionally or unintentionally. It was smaller than her own home, and there were not as many servants as in her home. The furnishings in the mansion were relatively simple, not as complicated as in her home.

Along the way, Lu Niangrong kept comparing and finally came to a conclusion that Cheng Jiao seemed a little poor?

Passing by a pond, Lu Niangrong heard a pleasant and ethereal sound of a piano.

Looking ahead, a woman dressed in simple and elegant clothes was playing the guqin leisurely by the pond.

Even she couldn't help but admire the appearance and temperament of this woman. She was only a little older than her, but she was so talented.

Although she was not very good at playing the piano, she still had some appreciation ability. At least in Xianyang City, no one's piano playing could match that of this woman.

When passing by, Nongyu had already stopped and bowed to Cheng Jiao with a smile.

"Son."

Cheng Jiao clapped his hands and said, "Good. This is an improvement over what we did in Xinzheng."

Nong Yu's face was slightly happy, "Yes."

There was something strange in Lu Niangrong's moist eyes. The woman in front of her seemed to have an unusual relationship with Cheng Jiao.

Seeing Cheng Jiao about to leave, Nong Yu hesitated and asked, "Sir, when will my mother come back?"

Cheng Jiao stamped his feet and said, "I don't know about this... but you don't have to worry. It will take one or two days at the shortest, or three or four days at the longest."

Nanyue nodded. Ali told her last night that her mother stayed in the palace.

Nanyue had no objection to this. It was great that her mother had a friend in Xianyang, and this person was Chengjiao's mother, which made her secretly happy when she thought about it sometimes.

Not long after Lu Niangrong followed Cheng Jiao out of the pool, she heard a melodious flute sound again.

It sounds good.

Lu Niangrong was unable to describe the sound of the flute and could only use the word "pleasant".

From afar, a graceful woman with a bun and a long skirt was sitting on a branch playing the flute.

There was a charming and beautiful woman in a red dress dancing under his command, which fascinated Niang Rong for a moment.

"Don't stare."

Cheng Jiao coughed lightly.

The same goes for Yan Lingji, she uses some kind of fire charm to practice dancing.

Lu Niangrong was brought back to reality by Cheng Jiao's light cough, and her brows slightly frowned.

She could sense that she had been brought into an illusion without realizing it.

What a charming woman.

"Let's go."

Cheng Jiao did not go over to say hello to Yan Lingji Li Wu. It was a bit far and he didn't want to take a detour.

After Cheng Jiao took Niang Rong away.

Li Wu stopped playing the flute and mocked Yan Lingji: "You are not capable of that. You used the Fire Charm but still couldn't get the young master to come over."

Yan Lingji said angrily: "Who knows where this woman was brought from? She loves new things and hates old ones. None of the men are good!"

She deliberately danced harder and used the Fire Charm when Cheng Jiao passed by not far away.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiao just glanced at her for a few seconds and then left with the unknown girl. Judging from their location, they should be heading to Xueyuan.

Li Wu stopped playing the flute and had no intention of entertaining Yan Lingji.

The young master hadn't visited her for several days, and he even let Yan Lingji stay overnight the night before, which made her feel jealous and missed him very much.

Cheng Jiao strolled into the Snow Garden. Bai Luan was wearing a white dress, holding an ice sword condensed from her icy internal force in her hand, and practicing swordsmanship slowly.

Every move she made made the white dress look extremely elegant.

Meng Niang watched Bai Luan practicing sword without blinking, carefully and attentively experiencing the practice of the master of the Heavenly Realm.

She didn't even notice Cheng Jiao bringing Niang Rong behind her.

"Meng Niang!"

Lu Niangrong, who had been worried and feeling a little depressed, whispered when she saw that Meng Niang was fine.

The surprise in his tone was hard to conceal.

Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Niang was startled.

Turning around, he saw Lu Niangrong and was both happy and surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Meng Niang had originally planned to find Cheng Jiao today to ask about Niang Rong's situation. Cheng Jiao didn't come to see her yesterday, which made her a little worried about Niang Rong's safety.

She never expected that Niang Rong would appear here before she could take any action.

Could it be that Cheng Jiao kidnapped him?
This absurd thought flashed through Meng Niang's mind.

Niang Rong was a little embarrassed: "I came here to find you."

After a pause, he said, "Meng Niang, please come back with me."

Seeing the anticipation in Niangrong's eyes, Mengniang was just about to say yes, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Cheng Jiao who was admiring Bai Luan practicing sword.

Hesitantly, he said, "Niangrong, as long as you are safe. I am fine staying here."

Niang Rong asked anxiously, "Why? Are you worried that Daddy will punish you? I will plead with Daddy and will not let him hurt you."

Meng Niang didn't know how to tell Lu Niangrong about this. She couldn't say that she had been taken in by Cheng Jiao and was his lover, right?

After taking a look at Cheng Jiao who was still concentrating on admiring Bai Luan, Meng Niang gently pulled Niang Rong's sleeve, motioning her to talk aside.

Lu Niangrong's heart moved. Could it be that Meng Niang had some unspeakable secret?

Thinking of this, Lu Niangrong secretly made up her mind that she must rescue Niangrong from Cheng Jiao's clutches no matter what.

In the small bamboo forest outside the Snow Garden.

Lu Niangrong couldn't wait to ask, "Did Cheng Jiao threaten you?"

She didn't believe that Meng Niang would be willing to stay with Cheng Jiao.

A look of tenderness appeared in Meng Niang's eyes. Niang Rong was indeed a good student.

"No, the young master is very good to me."

Lu Niangrong was stunned. She didn't expect Meng Niang to be like this. She could easily detect the joy faintly revealed in her tone.

"Why……"

She didn't understand why Meng Niang had changed so much after not seeing her for two days.

Where is the Meng Niang who was mature, elegant and exuded intellectual confidence? Why is she willing to stay with Cheng Jiao? Can't she see that Cheng Jiao has a lot of women?
Obviously a person who loves beautiful girls.

How could she just watch Meng Niang fall into the tiger's mouth and be eaten up by Cheng Jiao?

Mengniang was a little hesitant, wondering whether to confess her situation to Niangrong.

Seeing the hesitation on Mengniang's face, Niangrong said angrily: "Mengniang, did Chengjiao threaten you? Tell me, I will rescue you even if I have to beg my father!"

Meng Niang said helplessly: "Niang Rong, please don't, I'm really fine."

Seeing that Niangrong still didn't believe it, Mengniang had no choice but to tell her whole situation and conceal the fact that she had become Chengjiao's woman.

Lu Niangrong opened her mouth, but was unable to speak.

"Why didn't you tell me before? If you had told me, I would have found the best doctor to help you..."

At the end of her speech, Lu Niangrong's voice was almost inaudible.

Meng Niang is a doctor, and her medical skills are extremely advanced.

But even so, Meng Niang had no choice but to accept her fate.

Meng Niang felt somewhat relieved. She had not misjudged the person. Niang Rong was indeed a good successor.

"It's okay now. Young Master has a way to help me detoxify. As long as..."

Having said this, Meng Niang quickly shut up.

Niang Rong responded very quickly: "What do you want? I'll pay for it. I'll give you whatever I have."

Meng Niang swallowed the last few words and ultimately did not say that as long as she served Cheng Jiao with peace of mind, everything would turn around.

Shaking his head, he said, "Nothing. The young master was impressed by my ability and wanted me to work for him and teach him the art of poisoning women."

Niang Rong was a little suspicious and a little disappointed: "Really?"

Meng Niang nodded and said, "Really, this is a kind of deal."

After all, she was more mature than Niangrong. Instead of telling Niangrong directly about the dirty sex trade, it would be better to embellish it and let Niangrong let go of her grudge.

She knew very well that with the fighting power of two celestial beings, Lu Buwei's defeat was purely due to Cheng Jiao's feelings.

She didn't want Lu Niangrong to die with her father.

Lu Niangrong said "Oh" and suddenly asked: "Then...will you still teach me?"

Meng Niang hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "I'll go tell the Master."

Lu Niangrong held Meng Niang's cold hand and said, "I'll go with you."

The two girls returned to Xueyuan with different thoughts.

Lu Niangrong thought that she could take the opportunity of Meng Niang teaching her to confirm Meng Niang's situation and the relationship between Cheng Jiao and Meng Niang, and whether it was really a helpless compromise as Meng Niang said.

Meng Niang thought that she should let Niangrong come to Cheng Jiao's house more often to make her familiar. Then, they would have a layer of affection for each other. After Lu Buwei died, she could also plead with Cheng Jiao to spare Lu Niangrong's life.

Under the pavilion in Xueyuan, Bai Luan, who had finished practicing swordsmanship, was chatting and laughing with Cheng Jiao.

"Here comes the little lover you brought with you."

Bai Luan said with a smile, and it was unclear whether she was ridiculing Cheng Jiao or stating the facts.

Cheng Jiao chuckled, "You seem to care a lot?"

Bai Luan blinked her charming phoenix eyes, "Really?"

Cheng Jiao kneaded Bai Luan's soft and boneless jade hand and laughed softly, "No?"

Bai Luan stretched out a slender jade finger from the hand that was being held by Cheng Jiao and scratched the palm of Cheng Jiao's hand.

“You can have that.”

Cheng Jiao laughed and let go of Bai Luan's hand.

Bai Luan teased, "Why don't you hold it anymore? Are you afraid that the girl will get jealous?"

Cheng Jiao took a sip of herbal tea and said, "No, I have always been a man of integrity."

Bai Luan was amused by Cheng Jiao's words. She giggled, her smile blooming like a flower, bright and charming.

Cheng Jiao was stunned. He didn't expect that the cold Bai Luan had such a side to her.

Bai Luan saw Cheng Jiao staring at her in a daze, so she couldn't help but stop smiling and said with a light cough, "They are here."

She was joking with Cheng Jiao simply because she was in a good mood these past two days.

She discovered that Cheng Jiao was having an affair with Mrs. Hu, and unexpectedly received a hush money from Cheng Jiao - a Huiling Pill.

I had already swallowed it last night, and with the pill of spiritual restoration that Cheng Jiao had promised me, the spiritual power in my body was more than double the spiritual power I had accumulated over the years.
As a result, she now has the capital to practice the remaining fragments of the secret technique. Although it is very likely that she will master the secret technique to cancel the dark contract, it is better to prepare a soul-restoring pill out of caution in case there is not enough.

Therefore, Bai Luan felt a lot more relaxed and had the confidence to raise her head in front of Cheng Jiao. She was no longer timid like before and could talk and laugh with Cheng Jiao freely.

This is the benefit of having confidence.

However, not only does it consume a lot of spiritual power to practice the fragments of the secret technique, but it also takes a lot of spiritual power to open the bridge between heaven and earth, so she wisely chose to continue to stay with Cheng Jiao and develop.

Work for a few more years, and try to get a few more Huiling Pills from Cheng Jiao before saying goodbye to him.

If not for this, she would have already begun to work on breaking the dark contract that Cheng Jiao forced her to sign.
