Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 177 Infatuation in three days

He Danggui slapped Bai Yangbai’s hands and said sarcastically, “You are the master of calculating. I’m much worse than you. While you reminded me, I knew that Qian Mudan was got the venomous insect. You asked me that, but how am I supposed to know?” The book said that a man who got Shi Hua Poison would become a zombie and controlled by others, while the venomous insect attracted for three times. But He Danggui couldn’t guarantee that it was the third time for Qian Mudan. She never saw zombies before, so how could she distinguish Qian Mudan’s sweet voice was from a human or the venomous insect in her body?

Bai Yangbai still not gave up. He said, “Half a month ago, what kind of pills did you give to her? I want it, too.”

“It was a common pill just for fire-clearing. Do you want it? I also agree that you should take it. I’ll give you another day. No charge.” He Danggui proposed generously. Seeing that he was confused, she explained, “Half a month ago, I noticed that Qian Mudan, who sat diagonally in the front of me, was extremely excited. When the class was over, she immediately came to the wall of Men Institute and sang songs, so did the other misses around her. Only I could keep my head, but I was not as calm as usual. Every class was a suffering. The more I listened, the more fretful I was. I had to read the Heart Sutra in my heart to stick with it. After two days’ observation, I found the magnolia worn in Qian Mudan’s hairpin was very fragrant. I identified it for several times and was shocked. This smell was musk and added other fragrance of flowers. It was a powerful hallucinogen in the magnolia. If you smelt it, you would be infatuated with a particular opposite sex and couldn’t stop.”

Bai Yangbai’s eyes were lightened. He said, “What a wonderful thing! How to make it? Please give me the prescription.”

He Danggui glanced at him and asked with surprise, “Eh? You are not chase women, so why are you interested in the hallucinogen? I haven’t analyzed the prescription, but I have two flowers from Qian Mudan. If you like, I can give you one of them.”

“How can I love women! Even you pursue me, I’ll consider for two or three years. Not to mention other ugly women just like the fatty girl Qing’er, Ms. Zheng and your Second Aunt,” Bai Yangbai giggled with his hands covered his mouth and said, “I am just curious. When you smell it, who will you recall? And who will you fall in love with? Every time when you hear Feng Yang, you change your expression. Every time when you hear Quan, you are trembling. Is it have something to do with this?”

He Danggui pretended not to hear that, and continued to talk about Qian Mudan, “So, I suggested her not to wear the flower, but she didn’t listen to me. I stole her flower when nobody noticed, but she wore a new flower to school the next day. I don’t know whether she smelt the aphrodisiac in her own initiative or she was drugged by someone when she was unaware. So, I tested her with some words for several times. And finally, I was sure that she was drugged. But I had poor relationship with her. After the testing, I offended this First Miss Qian, so she started trouble me. Strings of Guqin, benches, brushes and food containers. I didn’t want to tangle with the little girl, so I endured several times. She lost interests and never teased me finally.”

“The little girl? I think she is about sixteen or seventeen years old.” Bai Yangbai rubbed his chin with his thumb and asked, “Girl, how old are you?”

He Danggui just kept talking, “Until now, I just know she is First Miss Qian. I even don’t know her whole name. After I gave her an acupuncture treatment and fed her herbal medicine, the toxin was expelled from her body, so she wasn’t unrestrained like before. And then I put something on her head that girls scared most, just like bees and caterpillars. Gradually, she doubted that the flower’s fragrance attracted these insects, so she didn’t wear the flowers when she went to school. But I noticed another thing. These days when First Miss Qian wore the flower, the Second Miss Qian never came to school. However, the next day when First Miss Qian didn’t wear the flower, Second Miss Qian went to school with her again. But it was over. They were complete strangers to me, so I never got to the bottom of the matter.”

“Aphrodisiac...” Bai Yangbai held his cheek by his left hand and said with a smile, “I think I’m well informed, but I never heard that who have this wonderful thing. If the drug is useful, there will be less perverse lads and plaintive maidens. Such as, eh, I just set an example. If you are fed this drug in front of Duan Xiaolou, you will never care about status and obey him in every matter. He’ll be very happy.”

“I tested the drug by someone and found the property of the drug could only last for three days. That is to say, the affection could only last for three days without particular target. It won’t let you falling in love with the person who is in front of you.” He Danggui said slowly, “Although I don’t know why Duan Xiaolou love me so much, I’m sure that he wouldn’t love a girl who has no thoughts and mind. If I was obedient to him in every matter when we first met, he would forget me for a long time.”

Bai Yangbai sighed, “You have your mind, but I think you have no heart. You say you want to compensate Duan Xiaolou, but you know what he wants. As long as you give him a smile, he will become happy immediately.”

He Danggui frowned with sorrow and signed too. She said, “Qianjun, the most regretting thing for me in this life is that I let Duan Xiaolou love me. The second thing that I regret was pushing him away. It was not because I loved him and realized that I couldn’t leave him. I always thought I was the most stubborn one. But this time, I met the person who was more stubborn than me. If I had known that, I would have married him before he lost his father. As such a stubborn man, he must never change his mind.”

Suddenly, Bai Yangbai reached out his fingers and put them on her cheek. Then he scratched her cheek up and down. While He Danggui just wanted to push his fingers away, he pinched her face tightly and let her weep. Bai Yangbai took back his fingers and said to himself, “Damn it. I think I guess the truth...”

He Danggui rubbed her cheek and glared at him. She shouted, “Bai Yangbai, why did you pinch me?”

Bai Yangbai looked at her with an exploratory expression. He smiled and said, “I feel that your tone is not suitable for your face. As if a woman who has the same age as me wears the girl’s face and talks to me. I was controlled by this thought at that time, so I tried to disclose your mask. I thought I found your secret.”

He Danggui was in a daze. When she just wanted to say something, she found Guard Zhan and his subordinates were searching the valley carefully. They were coming here quickly. It seemed that they were finding the mysterious man who broke Guard Zhan’s knife. They searched regularly. One was in charge of an area. They separated the grasses by knifes and lighted up the trees by torches. If they on like this, He Danggui and Bai Yangbai must be found. But Bai Yangbai’s real face couldn’t be seen by others.

He Danggui turned and asked Bai Yangbai, “Uncle, can you fly? We can step on the top of the tree, climb over the hilltop and come to the classroom.” She knew that Bai Yangbai’s kung fu was just better than her in previous life, so she didn’t have much expectation on him. Because of her poor flying ability, she was hardly able to save herself. How could she fly with a muddy pig?

Bai Yangbai shook his head and said seriously, “Only bird-man can fly. I never practice such useless arts of lightness.” Then, he brought a human skin mask and stuck it on his face skillfully. Just after a second, he handled it well. He shook He Danggui’s arm and played the coquetry with a shrill voice, “Miss, let’s coming down from the tree. First Madam Luo and others must feel anxious for waiting you. They are waiting for you to explain why you poison the child of Second Branch!”

“Huai, Huai Hua… Oh!” He Danggui was shocked by Huai Hua’s smiling face, because she hadn’t seen Huai Hua for three months. Abruptly, she was pushed down the tree by Bai Yangbai!

She could turn around or turn a somersault to fall to the ground safely, but Guard Zhan was approaching. She was unwilling to expose her kung fu, so she closed her eyes and prepared to fall on the ground…

But, but, she “gnawed” a warm…

“Sorry, my...my lips are covered by the fake skin. You just gnawed that. Forget it, OK?” “Huai Hua” in grey doctor robe covered her mouth. His eyes were full of scare, just like his lips were touched by a snake. He was so anxious. It seemed that if Guard Zhan and others were not here, he would disclose the skin on his lips and confirmed his innocence.

Guard Zhan came quickly. After seeing He Danggui and a young maid who was unkempt, he felt strange and asked, “Miss, why are you falling down from the tree?”

He Danggui just tried to answer, but “Huai Hua” said before her, “Let me tell you, sir. The Miss Qian was so scary, who fell into the water just now. She chased us for a long time. We were so scared that we couldn’t help climbing up the tree. But my Miss was timid, so she couldn’t hold the tree and fell down!” Her intonation was wired with lengthen tone, but her voice was actually a girl’s voice and it was nearly 60% similarity of Huai Hua. Except He Danggui and Chan Yi, who were very familiar with Huai Hua, others couldn’t distinguish true or false.

A guard near them couldn’t help asking the strange maid, “Why are you wearing man clothes? How long have you stayed on the tree? Have you ever seen someone strange passed by?”

“Huai Hua” answered seriously, “It’s my personal hobby. The strange person was the old woman in black, but you let her and the people hiding in the grass go away. I don’t know where to find them. Even Qian Mudan was abducted by the witch. I want to see how you will explain it to Lord Qian!”

Guard Zhan stared at “Huai Hua” and said, “What’s your meaning? Qian Mudan was willing to follow her aunt to treat illness. Why should I stop her?”

“Huai Hua” shouted in a low voice. She bent and hid in He Danggui’s back. It seemed that she was scared by Guard Zhan’s fierce eyes. She pushed He Danggui to be her shield and said in a hurry, “If you want to ask something, you can ask my Miss. She has heard Qian Mudan and Qian Shuixian talking in whispers.”

Guard Zhan had recognized that He Danggui was that Miss who helped Childe Meng to save people. When he just wanted to ask something, He Danggui clutched her head and leaned against the maid. He Danggui said weakly, “Sorry, although I’ve heard that Qian Mudan and Qian Shuixian planned this incident by accident. They planned to lure Childe Zong to save Qian Mudan and ask him to marry Qian Mudan. I know nothing else. I also heard they said, in Qian Mudan’s love letter, Qian Mudan made an appointment of ‘Pledge to love underwater’ with Childe Zong, but she never thought that Childe Zong didn’t read her letter and didn’t know how to swim. As for other things about faked death and poisoning, you must ask Qian Shuixian. Many people saw that before she approached Qian Mudan, she cried and said, ‘My sister was dead.’. All of us felt strange.”

Guard Zhan wanted to ask more, but the Miss in cyan was in a state of unconsciousness. She could only stand with difficulty and let her maid hold her shoulder. He concerned, “Are you OK? Miss.” The maid answered, “Miss is very timid. She was scared and got sick because of Qian Mudan, so we need to go home and see a doctor first. See you!” Then, they waved their handkerchiefs and sleeves, bypassed all the guards and went to the back door of the academy.

“Huai Hua” asked, “Girl, I think it’s interesting. Maybe it will have a play named “Interrogating Shuixian at night”. You just watched the first half. Do you want to leave?”

He Danggui chuckled and said, “I guess we can see the second half by some days later. You know the efficiency of Yamen. Furthermore, the stage in Luo’s Family is ready, waiting me to play the leading role.”

“Huai Hua” glanced at her and sighed, “Meng Xuan was right. You prefer to hurt yourself rather than show your kung fu. Why are you hiding so much?”

He Danggui thought for a while and answered, “The precious stone lands its innocent possessor in jail. Medical skills and kung fu are my precious stones. I’m afraid to be a sinner.”
