Zhuge Yuanqiao laughed out loud, unlike the average person. He remained silent and stared at the interesting girl with his sharp eyes.
Seeing that she did not care about being the laughing stock of the crowd, seeing that she walked with her head held high and her face calm, and comparing her to the two maidservants beside her, she seemed even more outstanding.
Wu Tanchun knew very well how others would look at her. He also knew that his attire would definitely cause the Old Master and Old Master to be displeased.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, she felt disgusted and treated this as a game. If she could play it, she welcomed him to join her. If you can't play, please get lost and don't provoke her.
She swaggered into the hall and followed her to the old lady. She bowed to the old lady and said respectfully,"Grandma, I'm late. I'm really sorry.”
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here." Old Madam Jia kindly helped the mischievous girl up and whispered in her ear,""You forgot to greet Grandfather, girl.”
"Oh!" Old Master Jia did not like her, and Wu Tanchun hated him as well. Her watery eyes narrowed and she could clearly see the anger on his face. She stuck out her tongue and obediently bowed to him. She pretended to be meek and respectful as she said,"Hello, Grandpa."
"Humph!" With a cold sneer, Old Master Jia couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this strange woman at all. He didn't understand what kind of knockout powder she had used to feed his wife. Not only did she tolerate her in every way, but she also defended her in every way.
If it wasn't for his wife's face, he would have chased her out of the Jia residence. How could he allow her to cause trouble here and throw the Jia family's face?
Wu Tanchun pouted. After throwing a helpless look at the old lady who doted on her, she quietly found a seat and sat down. She was too lazy to say anything else. Anyway, the main reason she was here today was to watch the show. Nothing could affect her mood.
But…strangely, she could feel a special gaze on her, quietly watching her every move. Who could it be?
Her watery eyes darted around. Ha, she finally found it!
Looking at the man sitting next to Brother Bao, he must be his friend.
Since she was Jia Baoyu's friend, why was she looking at her with that kind of gaze?
It was simply baffling. He was a weirdo!
Wu Tanchun didn't want to pay attention to that kind of boring man, so she focused on the performance on the stage. Who knew that the gaze still wouldn't let her go, and she didn't know if it was looking at her strange dress or peeping into her inner world.
Annoying! No matter what he was looking at, Wu Tanchun instinctively hated that unknown man. In a moment of impulsiveness, she decided not to even watch the show. She simply confronted him openly with a pair of angry eyes.
She, Wu Tanchun, was definitely not inferior to anyone in terms of glaring at others or having eyes bigger than hers!
Bring it on if you have the guts.
Zhuge Yuanqiao could clearly see the provocation in the woman's eyes. When he saw her face him without avoiding him, he felt even more admiration for her.
Most women would blush and quickly avoid his gaze. Only this girl called Tanchun dared to look him in the eye. Just this alone was enough to make him look at her in a different light.
He was still watching! Damn it, aren't his eyes tired and sore? Did he come to the Jia residence to watch the show, or did he come specially to find trouble with her?
Wu Tanchun, who had always been impatient, finally couldn't take it anymore. She simply raised her hand to open her eyes and spit out from behind her small mouth. She mischievously pretended to be an extra-large ghost face for him, causing him to be stunned and dumbfounded. Only then did she feel a little more balanced and have the good mood to continue watching the show.
That ghost face surprised Zhuge Yuanqiao. He never thought that a lady from a noble family would make a ghost face without caring about her image to scare him.
It was undeniable that that woman had indeed scared him silly.
A moment later, he came back to his senses. His first reaction was to laugh out loud.”As he laughed, he stroked his belly, not caring that he had become the center of attention.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly laughing?" Jia Baoyu, who was sitting beside him, asked worriedly. He really couldn't understand why his good friend would suddenly laugh non-stop.
"N-nothing, it's just…I just saw an interesting ghost, that's why I couldn't help it…Hahaha!”Zhuge Yuanqiao's voice was neither loud nor soft. It was heard by all the guests sitting around him.
A ghost? Upon hearing this terrifying word, everyone was busy looking left and right, wanting to see what the interesting ghost looked like.
Wu Tanchun gritted his teeth when he heard this.
Damn it! He actually described her as an interesting ghost. How disrespectful!
Even if he really wanted to compare her to a ghost, he should have said that she was an extremely terrifying ghost. How could he say that she was interesting? What an impolite brat!
Good! She had decided to hate that man to the end. In this life, it would be best if she didn't have any evidence against him. Otherwise…hmph! She would show him how terrifying she could be, and he would never dare to use the word " interesting " to describe her, Wu Tanchun.
That night, after the banquet, some of the guests who lived far away were temporarily stayed in the mansion by Old Master Jia. Those who lived nearby, of course, rushed back to their homes to reunite with their wives and children.
Wu Tanchun first went over to chat with the old granny and made her happy. After that, he brought Miao Yuan and Miao Fang back to the Spring Dance Pavilion where he lived.
"If it's not too much trouble, can you help me prepare a large bucket of hot water? I want to bathe and change before I go to bed.”Wu Tanchun felt extremely uncomfortable with her face covered in powder. If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to scare everyone, she wouldn't have bothered to smear a large amount of paint on her face. It was simply tormenting.
"Yes." Miao Fang received the order and quickly went to prepare.
"Miss, do you need Miao Yuan to stay behind to help you bathe and change your clothes?”
"What do you think?" This was a question she had to ask herself. She had been with them for quite some time, so how could Miao Yuan not understand her habits?
"Sigh! Miss, you're going to make Wonder feel like she's neglecting her duty.”As servants, they were born to serve their masters. How could they be as idle as they were now? They could almost catch mosquitoes to play with.
" If you really feel guilty towards me, then why don't…" Her eyes flashed, and her evil and terrifying smile reappeared.
Seeing the young lady's frightening expression, Miao Yuan quickly changed her mind and said,""I think I'd better go down and help my sister boil more hot water. That's all. Miss, you can do whatever you want!”
"Ha! You ran away quite quickly!" Seeing that she was the only one left in the huge room, Wu Tanchun put down the mask he wore in front of others and revealed a melancholic expression.
It had been almost three months since she came to this era. How was her father, how were her brothers? Had everything in her hometown changed?
She had a capable father and four amazing brothers.
His father, Wu Shihao, was the chairman of the National Martial Arts Association.
His older brother, Wu Tan Gao, had once represented the world in a martial arts competition and won the honor of third place.
Although Wu Tanshan did not represent the country to participate in competitions like his elder brother, his reputation in the police force was very high!
The police officers who served the people were all the fruits of his second brother's loving teachings.
His third brother, Wu Tan Sen, was the one who gave his father the biggest headache. He had an extreme personality and always did things his own way, never caring about what others thought of him.
Although his father was too lazy to care about such a son, he still couldn't bear to part with him. Fortunately, his third brother was quite capable. Although he couldn't make a name for himself in the underworld, he could be considered a big boss in the underworld.
Fourth Brother was the most cunning person. He always had a smile on his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking. However, it was very strange. Whether it was in the underworld or the underworld, he was quite popular. If his relatives or neighbors had big troubles that they could not solve, it was not wrong to look for him!
As for Wu Tanchun, he was the only woman left in the family, excluding his mother who had passed away. It was obvious that she was the most beloved child in the family.
Since she was young, no matter if there was something delicious or good to wear, she would always be the first to snatch it. In order to protect her life and safety, her father and brothers had taught her all their ultimate techniques.
Wu Tanchun couldn't help but shed tears as he recalled the past. It was probably impossible for her to go back in this lifetime, but she just couldn't let go of her longing for her loved ones!
Why? Why would a plane crash cause her to encounter such an unbelievable and strange thing? Although her soul was not dead, this body did not belong to her. Even if she had the chance to return to her hometown, her father and brothers would probably not recognize her as Wu Tanchun, right?
As she thought about it, she sobbed until there was a knock on the door. She quickly wiped the tears on her face, put on a smile, and opened the door to welcome the hot water she desperately needed into the room.
After everything was ready, she said straightforwardly,"Alright, that's enough. You guys go and rest first. You can clean up the water tomorrow morning.”
Miao Yuan, who had a strict personality, was still worried. She then called out,"Miss…"
Wu Tanchun immediately grabbed one in each hand and pushed it out the door." Go back, go back. I want to take a quiet bath and think of a way to get rid of tomorrow. Please do me a favor and help me a little. Hurry up and go to bed and stop bothering me."”
Miao Yuan didn't dare to say anything more after hearing what the Young Miss had said. She followed her sister's footsteps and slowly walked back to their room.
Only the two of them had this honor!
Under normal circumstances, as the master's personal servant girl, she would have to sleep with her master on the floor at night. However, Wu Tanchun, who had always been independent, insisted on breaking this tradition of the Jia residence. She insisted on refusing Miao Yuan and Miao Fang's company. She didn't care what others said. In short, it was fine as long as she was happy.
Wu Tanchun stripped off his clothes and sat in the bathtub. He closed his eyes and concentrated on his thoughts.
Her thoughts ran wild and she didn't have a clear idea. Other than missing her family, she also filtered through everything that happened today.
Suddenly, an annoying face appeared in her mind. When she thought of the gaze that was glued to her, she was so angry that she hit the water in the bucket, causing countless splashes, making her face wet.
Who was that person? Just now, because she was busy dealing with all kinds of questions from the old lady, she forgot to ask Brother Bao for the man's name.
Humph! Tomorrow morning, she would go and ask him about it. She had to get a result from him. She had to find out his birth characters as well. Only then could she…Hehe, make a scarecrow and curse that hateful man to die a horrible death every day!
Humph! Who taught him to dare to provoke a difficult wild girl like her? Serves him right!
Wu Tanchun's wild imagination allowed him to use all ten of the Qing Dynasty's cruel punishments on that hateful man.
This included pulling out his nails, peeling off his skin, cutting off all his limbs, cutting off his tongue, then shaving off the hair on his head, cutting open his face, and making him so ugly that he could not see anyone and had nowhere to complain.
Wow, this is too violent and bloody! This Wu Tanchun was truly vicious!
Just as Wu Tanchun was lost in his thoughts, there was a sudden commotion. The sound seemed to come from a certain direction in the Grand View Garden. That place happened to be Jia Baoyu's residence. Could it be…
Wu Tanchun, who was full of curiosity and liked to join in the fun, would never miss this commotion. She stood up and casually took a coat to cover her naked body. She walked to the door and was about to open it to take a look, but who knew-
A black-clothed, masked criminal happened to pass by her room. As soon as the two of them met, the black-clothed man nimbly grabbed Wu Tanchun's throat and threatened her in a low voice,"Don't make a sound. Now, obediently return to your room. Go in."
How dare he threaten her? Hmph! This man was the first one she had met in her life.
If Wu Tanchun really wanted to break free from his control, it would be a piece of cake. However, she didn't do so. She even obediently cooperated with his threats and quietly retreated to her room. She calmly watched as he closed the door to her room.
Just as the door was closed, she heard the voices of the two precious sons of the chief steward of the Jia family, Jia Ren and Jia Yi, appearing outside her door. They said in a panicked tone,"Miss Tanchun, you should be careful. There's a thief who barged into our residence tonight. If there's anything unusual, you must shout for help immediately, understand?”
The man in black gave Wu Tanchun a stern look as a warning, telling her not to act rashly. Otherwise, he could snap her beautiful and slender neck with a single force, leaving her no chance to even scream.
"Got it." Wu Tanchun replied without hesitation. Before he figured out the true identity of this man in black, she was even more reluctant than he was to hand him over!
The two of them looked at each other without saying a word until they were sure that Jia Ren and Jia Yi had left the room. Wu Tanchun reached out to push away the hand that was strangling his neck and fearlessly asked,"Who are you? Why did you barge into the Jia residence at night?"
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The man in black looked at her in disbelief.
If an ordinary woman encountered such a situation, she would either be trembling in fear or beg for mercy. However, this woman was not afraid of him at all and even dared to ask him what was going on. Was this reasonable?
"Why should I be afraid? I'm not the one who did bad things, and I'm definitely not the one who should be afraid, right? Mr. Thief." Wu Tanchun crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked him back with a mocking expression. He even fearlessly called him Mr. Thief.
"I'm not a thief." He didn't know why, but he just didn't like being looked down upon by this woman in front of him. He hated the way she called him.
"Are you saying that you are not a thief?" Wu Tanchun used a pair of mocking eyes to slowly inspect the clothes on his body. Dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, what else could this kind of small figure be if not a thief?
"Since you don't like this lady calling you a thief, why don't we change the term, like a robber, a bandit, a robber, a great thief…There are many, you can choose. As long as you like it, I'm absolutely willing to cooperate.”
"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? Are you really not afraid that I will take your life in a fit of anger?”This woman's courage was simply outrageous. If it wasn't for him who came in tonight, all the things he said might have happened to her, but she didn't know how to beg for mercy at all. She was simply courting death.
"I know that you are very angry, but I can also clearly see that you do not really want my life, right?”Wu Tanchun spoke confidently, his body inching closer to him without restraint, attempting to see his true face through the black mask.
When Wu Tanchun's body was in front of him, he could smell the light fragrance of a bath. He opened his eyes wide and looked at her body. Only then did he realize that other than the coat he could see, she was completely naked.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, her graceful body was faintly discernible. The man in black could not help but sweat. If it wasn't for the fact that the timing wasn't right, perhaps something unexpected would have happened between them.
The moment the scene of the romantic scene flashed through his mind, his body immediately reacted in a deadly manner. It made him sweat profusely and it was hard for him to endure it. However, the woman did not have any sense of danger and even leaned towards him with all her might.
"Can you step back a little? " Why don't…" The man in black was too embarrassed to say what he wanted to say next, so he used a pair of meaningful eyes to hint at the fact that her clothes were not neat.
Wu Tanchun, who hadn't realized that he was wearing nothing under his clothes, only remembered that he had only managed to put on a coat in a hurry. In addition, his body hadn't dried yet. Under the candlelight, it was easy to imagine what kind of image his white clothes would present.
Damn it! She had actually carelessly let this little rascal feast his eyes. It was truly hateful to the extreme.
Alright! If she didn't give him a taste of his own medicine, how could she be willing to accept this?
Wu Tanchun, who had been standing still, suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's face. If it weren't for the man's quick reflexes, he would have revealed his true face.
The man in black easily dodged her sudden attack. Seeing that she was no longer moving, he said,"You're really bold, no wonder people outside gave you the title 'Nine Eccentrics Golden Hairpin'.”
Nine Monsters? It meant that she, Wu Tanchun, was a difficult person to deal with." May I ask which nine strange things are the nine monsters referring to?”
"Words, actions, actions, behavior, the amount of weight you use in your clothes, the way you do things, your thoughts, and your views on things. These nine things are different from ordinary women. To be honest, you, Wu Tanchun, are indeed not like an ordinary lady from a noble family.”
"Oh?" Wu Tanchun approached him again with a different purpose. He looked at him curiously and asked,"Then may I ask what your opinion of this lady is?”
" This..." This was a little difficult to say. They had only met for the first time today. If he had to say what he thought of her, it should only be the word " interesting ". The rest could not be mentioned. How should he answer this difficult question?
Wu Tanchun shouted in his heart when he saw his brooding expression. It was now!
When he wasn't paying attention, she grabbed his arm and suddenly threw him over her shoulder, trying to restrain him.
The man in black was careless and suffered a loss because of this unexpected attack. However, his reaction was not bad either. He followed the direction where his body fell and grabbed her clothes with his backhand. He forcefully pulled her down onto his body and pulled his arms back.
"Haha! Now you can't move!”
"Let me go!" Damn it! This man's martial arts cultivation was not to be underestimated. Wu Tanchun, who did not expect to be at a disadvantage, could only shout angrily at him and struggle desperately for him to let go." Let go of me, or I'll poke your eyes out right now!"”Her two fingers were like a pair of scissors, and she wanted to attack his eyes ruthlessly.
Seeing that the woman was really going to blind his eyes, the man in black quickly freed one hand to block her fierce attack. He conveniently restrained her hands in his arms." I'd like to see how you can still move now."”
"Let go! Let go of me immediately, or I'll shout. If I call all the guards in the Jia residence, I'll see how you can escape and deal with them!”No matter how good his kung fu was, it would be difficult for him to fight against so many fists with one hand. Wu Tanchun did not believe that he had the ability to reach heaven and earth.
Would she really shout? With her stubborn and arrogant personality, the man in black was sure that she would not be able to shout it out. However…it was better not to take such a risk.
He calculated that he had been hiding here for a long time. The commotion that he had caused should have calmed down. If he did not escape now, when would he? "Alright then! I'll let you off tonight, but if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely visit you again. At that time, it won't be so easy for you to escape.”As soon as he finished speaking, he released his hand and flipped his body, helping Wu Tanchun to his feet.
Before she could react, a black shadow jumped out of the window. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace? Wu Tanchun, who was unwilling to accept defeat, growled out of the window,"If you're really a hero, let's settle the score tonight. Don't leave!”
No matter how angry she was, she wanted to kill that hateful man in black with her own hands. But looking at the calm night, where could she find him?
Hmph, he ran fast!#
