Chapter 110 - Jeong Ru Ya Part 1
In Jeong mansion, Jeong just finished his session in the palace when he can not find his sister inside the mansion. He wants to discuss the selection tomorrow as he already bribes the lady palace to put her as the top candidate in the selection. However, she still needs to be smart, culturally aware and knows all the knowledge in and out of the palace.
Suddenly, his assistant is coming to him and whisper something to his ear. His face turns red, and he is walking out of his house. He is going straight away with fuming mad with his sword in his right hand.
Ru Ya maid is going to the Ni mansion and asks Lord Ni to follow her. she is relaying the message that young lord Ni Sheng life will be in danger. Lord Ni is asking for help from Lin Yue. They are going to follow the maid to the hotel.
Inside the hotel room, Ru Ya is kissing Ni Sheng's lips with her tears come out. He does not realise anything and falls into the kissing from Ru Ya. He even did not realise when she changes the position under his body when the door got kicked open by Jeong.
"Ru Ya…. Yoooouuuuuuu, How dare you to taint my sister!" Jeong is taking out his sword and pointing it toward Ni Sheng.
"En… Lord Jeong… what do you mean?" Ni Sheng suddenly get sobbed and sit down on the bedside with the point of a sword in front of his neck.
"Ru Ya comes here… you need to go home and prepare for the concubine selection tomorrow," Jeong still adamant to receive the proof about the incident.
"Lord Jeong…. Can we talk about their matrimony? I am his father promise you to take your sister as his first wife and the young madame of Ni," Lord Ni is clasping his hand to Lord Jeong.
"Lord Jeong, please withdraw the sword from Ni Sheng…." Lin Yue is coming forward. At least his best friend still wearing the clothes. This scheme seems familiar with his condition only, he was red-handed caught with Ni Shi who only wear her underclothes under the blanket.
"Ru Ya… is Lord Jeong your brother?" Ni Sheng still confused and does not know the reality of his condition. At the moment, his mind is blank due to the wine and tries to sober up in a short period of time.
"Yes…. I am sorry Ni Sheng…." Ru Ya is putting her face on the floor and tears start to drop on her white skin cheek. Ni Sheng does not think twice but takes her into his embrace and elopes her body with his arm. He does not care about the sword which nicks the skin of his neck.
Jeong sees it with his own eyes and tries to pull his sister from his embrace to separate them.
"We will put this incident as nothing happen. Ru Ya will enter the palace tomorrow as one of the candidates for emperor concubine. No one can speak about this incident," Jeong still not accepting the reality about the rejection from his sister.
"Lord Jeong, this is not right. You can not send her to the emperor when she is not pure anymore. How about we discuss their marriage and cancel the idea about her participation in the emperor concubine selection?" Lord Ni is asking her hand for a marriage nuptials with his son.
"Marriage her as his bride. How good is your son to be able to benefit my family? My decision is firm, and she is going into the palace tomorrow," Jeong told them and drag her hand out from the hotel room to leave Lord Ni, Lin Yue and Ni Sheng still in a daze with his decision.
"What happened to you? Why did you not talk anything or help me to stop him?" Lord Ni is hitting his stupid son. He saw Lord Jeong sister not bad at all. She looks beautiful and sophisticated. She is compatible to be Madame Ni in the future.
"I am still confused, father. What did I do in this room with her? she was kissing me first and one leads to another before Lord Jeong bark inside the room. I even can not think clearly when she starts to cry," Ni Sheng is talking in front of his father and his best friend.
"Are you falling in love with her? however, I never know that lord Jeong is having a younger sister. She is quite charming and pretty," Lin Yue is teasing his best friend.
"Mind your own business… You already have a wife waiting for you at your home," Ni Sheng is telling his best friend.
"Ahhh… Ah Yue, I want to speak about this. Your mother-in-law actually keeps giving me a headache as your wife keep going back home because you abandon her," Lord Ni is looking at Lin Yue.
"I am busy with the barrack and the court order. I will need some more time. Anyway, she got her to wish as the madame of the Lin family. What else she wants?" Lin Yue is telling them without remorse. Lord Ni is understanding that Lin Yue still can not move from Ni Qing. He always stays by her side and follows her even inside the palace even he hates the politic. However, he can sacrifice and ignore everything only for her.
"Enough both of you…. I got a headache thinking about your problem. Please sort out your problem and let me know the outcome," Lord Ni is walking back home by himself and left the hotel room.
"Something is amiss…. Why is lord Jeong forcing her sister to enter the harem?" Lin Yue is sitting at the table and pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Be careful…. Do not drink the wine. I think something inside the wine, and I got trapped by her. she uses me as a tool to avoid the concubine selection," Ni Sheng is joining Lin Yue to drink the hot tea.
"Hey… what is your heart telling you to do? Do you want to fight for her? do you fall in love with her?" Lin Yue is asking him seriously.
"I like her. she is smart, nice and sensible. I do not mind taking her as my wife as long as she wants to get married to me," Ni Sheng is telling him.
"Are you sure? If you are thinking that she is the right candidate as your wife. We can go to ask Ni Qing to help you. If she is telling her husband, he will do everything for her," Lin Yue is advising him before he drinks another sip of tea.
"Do you still love my sister and do not want to leave her?" Ni Sheng is asking his best friend straight to the point.
"It is hard to move from someone you love for your whole life. We live and grow up together and now, we are going our separate ways. I just regret not to take her as my wife sooner," Lin Yue is telling Ni Sheng his true feeling.
"So… what will you do? Are you going to ignore Ni Shi for your whole life and not making any descendant for the Lin family?" Ni Sheng is asking him. Their duty to continue the family line seems harder rather than the imperial test.
"She is another piece of work. Your cousin is actually making ruckus inside the house of Lin. She is actually making my father butler and my nanny quit their job and leaving the mansion. I do not know the reaction of my father but hell…. No wonder she always jealous of Ni Qing," Lin Yue is holding the hot teacup in his hand.
"That is your headache now…. I will enter the palace early in the morning and ask for help from Qing. I will not lose her to my brother-in-law," Ni Sheng is standing up and walks outside the room.
"That is my boy. This is the time for you to experience the marriage life, old bachelor," Lin Yue is following him and putting his arm around his shoulder.
"do not tell me… like you are not a virgin yourself…" Ni Sheng is laughing at his best friend idea of getting married. He has to accept the responsibility and become a man now. He has to step up and fight for her.
This time, Lin Yue is spending a night inside the Ni Mansion. He is so tired and just wants to crash the bed when he hears some shriek sound. Someone is sneaking inside the roof of Ni Mansion. He is wearing his shoes and get his sword before tailing the culprit on the roof.
Lin Yue can see clearly a man uses a black costume with a mask to cover half of his face with a sword. He is stopping on top of Ni Sheng room before he takes off one of the tiles from the roof. He wants to blow something. However, Lin Yue manages to hit his back neck and make him unconscious straight away.
