Chapter 79: Blood Test
Hearing the howling, Prime Minister Luo took one step back, he looked at Old Wang in alertness, “What have you done?”
Old Wang looked at Prime Minister Luo with contempt, “Nothing much, my wolves are hungry, it’s dinner time for them.”
“You domesticated the wolves?” asked Prime Minister Luo in shock, he withdrew the room in a hurry, didn’t pay The Second Concubine any more attention.
What met Prime Minister Luo’s eyes were wolves, howling wolves running towards them and circled the house.
A servant who was asked to wait outside picked up a stick to defend himself, but it was no avail. A wolf jumped to him and bit his thigh, soon blood spurted profusely on his thigh.
Soon the sound of shrill cries incessantly lingers on, a lot of servants were attacked.
Feng Qing who was also waiting outside was fighting a fierce battle, he had killed over ten wolves within a short time.
These wolves were drugged by Old Wang, their behaviors were unreasonably aggressive and their mouths were covered with a thick layer of saliva, therefore Feng Qing killed them with no mercy.
Killing these beasts was the only way to protect themselves and the villagers who lived in the area.
Luo Qianqian frowned on seeing that, wolves were first class protected animal in modern society. But she knew there wolves would harm innocent people sooner or later, Feng Qing was doing this to protect people.
Prime Minister Luo didn’t handle this well at all, he was an civil official who hadn’t seen a scene of carnage like this in his whole life.
Prime Minister Luo’s legs were shaking when he saw Feng Qing fought the wolves.
The Second Concubine had put on her clothes and ran to the yard as well at this point, she kept shouting at The Second Concubine, “Stop this! This is ridiculous!”
Old Wang took exception to it, “Mo, do you know what you are talking about? Today is the best opportunity, this is help from heaven, let me kill this man! After today, we can live happily together with our daughter, no more depending on him for a living! Isn’t that what you want?”
To hexx that was what The Second Concubine wanted! All she wanted was great wealth, splendour and glory, but Old Wang could give her none of the above.
The Second Concubine couldn’t bear the thought of losing it all, she decided to give it a final try!
“Prime Minister, I’m force by this man, I don’t know him, please forgive me! We can leave this place safely!” The Second Concubine cried out.
Old Wang couldn’t believe the woman in his dream would betray him again right after their solemn pledge of love, “Mo, we love each other, right? We are in this together, this is OUR plan!”
The Second Concubine sneered, “Who will possibly love a person like you, look at yourself! My heart belongs to Prime Minister Luo! Dismiss your wolves if you are smart!”
With that she soon looked at Prime Minister Luo, hoping Prime Minister Luo would believe the bullshxx she was talking about, “Your Lordship, Keer is your daughter, I only said Keer is his daughter to buy me a chance to live.”
Prime Minister Luo didn’t even spare her a look, she was a dead person to him. He was looking around, looking for Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun.
Hearing that, Old Wang was in great pain, he once again had realized his Mo was a changed person. His Mo was a woman who would forsake her true love for wealth, he had been lying to himself for the past years, but what The Second Concubine said just now was another wake-up call for him.
“Mo, why are you doing this to me?” Old Wang’s tone was livid, “Am I the one who has been living in a dream my whole life? Mo, please answer me!”
Old Wang was desperate, he didn’t marry after The Second Concubine left him. He turned to alcohol as a solution, he retire into oneself and lived in solitude ever since she was married, just to make it easier for her to visit him.
But it seemed like she would only visit him when she needed help, and she would promise him that she would leave Prime Minister Luo soon, it turned out to be lip service after all!
Old Wang’s eyes turned scarlet red, he produced a whistle made of bone from his sleeve and blew the whistle, the wolves completely lost in on hearing the whistle.
Feng Qing was attacked by ten wolves at the same time, he looked like he was struggling.
“Oh no!” exclaimed Luo Qianqian.
She threw a tile to the wolves, distracting them from Feng Qing.
It wasn’t until then did the people realize there were two people hiding on the roof, a man and a woman.
They were a beautiful couple, everyone would cast them a jealous look whenever they saw such a great match.
Murong Yun lifted a hand and produced a piece of leaf, he whistled a song with that leaf, it was surprisingly serene and tranquil.
The odd thing was the wolves looked like they were tamed, they stopped attacking Feng Qing and began whimpering.
Old Wang had spent his lifetime domesticating the wolves, never had he met a situation like this, he pointed at Murong Yun, “Who the hexx are you? What have you done to my wolves?”
Luo Qianqian now felt relieved seeing Feng Qing was safe and sound.
“Haha, Old Wang, I heard you are looking for me?” said Luo Qianqian in a condescending tone.
“Looking for you… are you Luo Qianqian?” asked Old Wang with disbelief.
‘Who is the man standing right next to her then? Is that… is that Prince Eighth?’
Old Wang’s heart sank thinking about that possibility. He wasn’t ready to face Murong Yun, the General Invincible, yet.
Murong Yun left the scene with Luo Qianqian first to better protect Luo Qianqian, Feng Qing arrested Old Wang and The Second Concubine and brought them back to Prime Minister Luo’s Mansion.
The Second Concubine thumped her head on the floor, begging an opportunity to explain herself, “Your Lordship, please listen to me… …”
Prime Minister Luo kicked her on the chest as a reply.
“Men, bring Luo Keer here to see me!”
The whole mansion was awake at this hour, everyone was treading on eggs, having no idea what was going on.
Luo Keer soon was brought to the hall, she had a rough idea what was going on when she saw her mother and a strange man strapped together by rope.
Luo Keer felt like earth was crumbling in front of her, she blamed her mother for doing such a stupid thing.
“Men, pour two bowls of water.” ordered Prime Minister Luo. (T/N: This is ancient way of blood test, when two people mix their blood together, if it coagulates then the two of them are related. i.e they are close relatives. You’ve probably heard it in harem drama, but this is untenable in modern science, however, let’s suppose it’s right in this time and space.)
Prime Minister Luo cut his finger and dripped a blood drop in one bowl.
“You do the same thing now.” Prime Minister Luo looked at Luo Keer, emotionless, he couldn’t even bother to call her by her name.
