Chapter 1127 - Chapter 1127 Chapter 1127 Traditional Chinese Medicine_1
Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127 Traditional Chinese Medicine_1 Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127 Traditional Chinese Medicine_1 The Zhao family in Capital City was among the elite Aristocratic Families, and Zhao Lan was the legitimate second daughter of the Zhao family. Since she was young, she yearned for the outside world. Like Bai Zhi, she knew some Martial Arts. Influenced by various messy novels, she ran away from home to wander the martial arts world.
The martial world was treacherous, and she, young and ignorant, with a spoiled nature, met a scoundrel. She was deceived, lost her virginity to him, and even became pregnant with his child.
The Zhao family secretly sent people to look for her, hoping to bring her back quietly.
However, the news was leaked by the Zhao family’s rivals, who spread the word. Zhao Lan’s reputation instantly became scandalous in Capital City, and she was effectively unmarriageable.
To be exact, it wasn’t that she couldn’t find a suitor. After all, the Zhao family was a top-ranked Aristocratic Family, and there were still many who sought favor with them. If Zhao Lan wished to marry, there were plenty of men willing to come forward as the groom.
But Lady Zhao didn’t regard any of these eager suitors highly.
So what if Zhao Lan had been deceived?
She would just be considered a widow who had lost her husband.
Even as a widow, her daughter had to pick another good man and marry off respectably.
Truth be told, marriages for noble ladies of Aristocratic Families rarely lead to happiness. At that time, marriages were about equal social standing, and those matched with noble ladies were sons from other Aristocratic Families.
If the sons of Aristocratic Families were ambitious, it was still acceptable–they could rely on their ancestors’ legacies to secure an official position or manage their family businesses. But if one encountered an indolent son, he would be a Young Master who only knew how to gallivant, raise pets, watch plays, and seek pleasures. Could you marry such a Young Master?
Moreover, the sons of Aristocratic Families all had multiple wives and Concubines. Even if one married in as the chief wife, she would have to tolerate her husband taking Concubines.
Under such circumstances, it was actually quite difficult for noble ladies to find suitable husbands.
It was difficult for any typical noble lady to find a match, let alone someone like Zhao Lan who had lost her chastity–it was an even harder task.
Therefore, the issue of Zhao Lan’s marriage was delayed.
Now, Bai Zhi had taken the initiative to approach Lady Zhao, introducing Tong Sanlang to her. Having assessed him, Lady Zhao immediately agreed.
He had the Martial Arts skills, the scholarship, a very pleasing appearance, and a rather good character, with parents who were humble country folk.
Such a Tong Sanlang, marrying into the Zhao family as their son-in-law, was very suitable.
Hence, today Zhao Lan personally arrived. Tong Sanlang’s literacy and looks had already been confirmed, and just now they had tested his Martial Arts. With literary accomplishment, good looks, and Martial Arts abilities all checked, to avoid any further complications, they decided to make an irrevocable move–sleep with the man and settle matters!
Five people participated in the assault, scattering the pink Medicine Powder, which enveloped the body of Zhang Family’s member.
If Tong Sanlang wanted to catch Zhang Family’s member, he would inevitably come into contact with the Medicine Powder.
The Medicine Powder was potent; just a hint of inhalation would cause a reaction in the body, making it go limp and allowing anyone to do as they pleased with the one affected.
This ambush was specifically intended for Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang, with his dark eyes, watched the sky full of red powder. He raised his hand to untie the belt wrapped around his waist, flinging it with the precision of a whip, long enough to wrap around the Zhang Family’s member, pulling the person to his side.
“Mother, are you all right?” he assessed Zhang Family’s member, speaking up to inquire.
Zhang Family’s member had taken silver to play along with Bai Zhi’s scheme, having considered all sorts of dangerous possibilities. Now, after being kicked out by Bai Zhi and then saved by Tong Sanlang, her face didn’t show any fear.
Standing unsteadily at Tong Sanlang’s side, seeing not a speck of powder on his dark clothes, she reached out without hesitation, flinging the powder in her hand toward Tong Sanlang.
She knew Tong Sanlang wouldn’t just watch her fall to the ground–she was sure he would reach out to save her, which is why she had also concealed Medicine Powder on her.
