After dusk, the night came. Tonight, the clouds covered the sky and the stars and moon were not visible.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The dull sound never stopped, spreading from the boudoir to the outside, disturbing the sleeping insects and birds, and adding a strange sound that should not have appeared in the dark night.
Xiao Cui came to the door with a lantern, and was frightened by the sound of a heavy hammer and quickly dodged. She thought that the young lady had subdued Xia Shang, and thought that the young lady was too cruel. What if someone died?
As she thought and walked, she wandered around the young lady's boudoir, looking a little lonely in the dark night. Not long after, Xiao Cui took out a small bag of powder from her arms, muttering to herself: "Is this white powder really that powerful?"
"Xiao Cui!"
Because her attention was not in front of her, Xiao Cui did not notice the appearance of the lady at all. The sudden sound scared her so much that she almost lost the powder.
Xiao Cui quickly put her hands behind her back and replied as if nothing had happened: "Madam."
"What's hidden in your hand?"
Unexpectedly, Madam had already found out and asked Xiao Cui to hand over the things.
Xiao Cui dared not disobey Madam's words even if she had the courage of heaven. She had no choice but to hand over the things.
The powder wrapped in yellow paper...
Madam Sai's face changed and she whispered: "Where did it come from?"
After this, Xiao Cui knelt down and begged for mercy: "Madam, spare me, it was Miss, who asked Xiao Cui to buy it. Miss said she wanted to use drugs to deal with Mr. Xia."
"Drugs?" Madam Sai's face sank, "Is Jiangnan going to rebel?!"
"Madam, can you show me the powder?"
In the darkness, Madam Sai's personal maid slowly appeared, took the powder from Madam Sai's hand, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, her face changed drastically: "Hehuan Powder!"
"Hehuan Powder?" Madam Sai didn't know much about it.
The maid asked Xiao Cui with a sullen face: "Where did you buy the medicine?"
"It's from old man Hu in Fengyu Street. He asked me what kind of drug I wanted, and I did what the lady said to make people obedient."
"Oh no!"
The maid exclaimed, and without waiting for explanation, she rushed to Jiangnan's boudoir.
This maid had great kung fu, and she was as light as the wind in the night, and she arrived at the door of the boudoir in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, Xia Shang in the room groaned, punched the bed, and the bed collapsed!
This is a struggle between willpower and desire, and only the person involved knows the torment in the heart.
However, the maid of the Sai family did not understand Xia Shang's good intentions. When she entered the door and saw the situation in the house, she immediately burst out with infinite murderous intent.
Fortunately, she restrained herself at the last moment and chopped Xia Shang's neck with a hand knife.
The next moment Xia Shang was unconscious.
…
When Xia Shang woke up, he was shocked to find that he could not see or move, as if he was blindfolded, with a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth, and his hands and feet were tied.
He didn't know where he was, let alone how much time had passed.
The only thing to be thankful for was that "Hehuan Powder" was not a powerful aphrodisiac. It would take some time for the effect to wear off before he could recover.
At that moment, Xia Shang regained his clarity of mind. He tied Sai Jiangnan under the table and hid in bed to think while resisting the effect of the drug.
But how could he think calmly in that situation?
Until now, Xia Shang's first thought was not to figure out the current situation or how to get out of the predicament, but to think about that thing, what happened to his lower body?
Xia Shang thought silently for a long time and finally made a preliminary judgment. If there was really a problem, it must be related to Shangguan Chan! The note she left said that she had to keep her virginity, otherwise she would bear the consequences. She must know something!
"This trouble-making woman! I must ask her clearly next time I see her!"
After finding out about the matter of his life force, Xia Shang had the mind to consider his own situation.
What is certain is that he is in a room with few opinions, surrounded by earth walls, which should be a remote place.
The sound of crickets outside told Xia Shang the time, and the night wind coming in also proved Xia Shang's guess.
From this, it can be judged that he was not unconscious for a long time.
But who locked him up?
After thinking about it, there is only one of Mrs. Sai and Sai Jiangnan.
It is more likely that Sai Jiangnan, because according to her personality, it is normal for her to retaliate like this.
Speaking of it, Xia Shang really suffered a great loss. He did nothing, but acted as a hypocrite at the critical moment, and ended up suffering like this.
He didn't know how the Sai family would deal with him. Xia Shang couldn't just wait, and began to move his hands little by little, trying to break free from the rope.
Soon, two women's voices came from outside.
"Mother! Where did you hide the master?"
"I told you that you don't need to intervene in this matter. You have caused trouble today, so why don't you go back to your room and face the wall?"
"My daughter knows that I have caused a big disaster today, but it has nothing to do with the master. If the master hadn't sacrificed himself to save me, my daughter would not be a perfect girl today."
"How dare you say that? No matter what happened today, if it gets out, we two women will lose face and won't be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives."
"Then you just let the master go and tell him not to tell anyone."
"This matter is of great importance. You go back. I have to talk to Mr. Xia alone."
"Okay! After the talk, mother must let the master go."
"Mother knows her limits."
At this point, Sai Jiangnan seemed to have left.
At this time, another voice came.
"Madam, are you really going to talk to Mr. Xia?"
"Humph! Do we need to talk? This is related to Jiangnan's reputation. I can't take any risks. In this world, only the dead can keep their mouths shut."
Inside the house, Xia Shang heard this conversation clearly and broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that Mrs. Sai was a ruthless character. She was always so polite to Mr. Xia, but at the critical moment, she killed him without hesitation?
This was no joke!
Xia Shang increased his movements and finally loosened the rope a little.
