Capítulo 1686: Chapter 1686: Taking a Concubine
Because it was the taking of a concubine, there was no bridal procession or the like. The bride was simply carried to the door in a sedan chair covered with red cloth, and since she was a concubine, they even skipped the wedding ceremony and directly sent her into the bridal chamber.
The old master accompanied the guests to have a al in the courtyard. After just a few bites, he was longing for the beauty in the bridal room. Unable to resist the temptation, he chatted briefly with the guests and then claid he was feeling unwell and went back to his room to rest.
Everyone understood Old Master Mo’s intentions but chose not to expose him, letting him go to rest.
In the courtyard, there were three or four tables of guests eating, drinking, and chatting about their families. From ti to ti, they burst into laughter, seeming very happy.
As night deepened, everyone beca a bit tipsy. Just as they were about to stand up and take their leave, suddenly, a woman’s scream ca from inside the house, piercing through the silent night sky…
“Ah… murder!”
Everyone was a bit intoxicated and didn’t react imdiately, thinking they had misheard. They glanced at each other: “What happened?”
“Ah… murder… murder!”
This ti, they heard it clearly. It was indeed soone shouting about murder, and from the sound of it, it ca from inside the house.
“What’s going on?” Mo Xiaoqiang, also quite drunk, asked with sleepy eyes.
Mo Daoyan listened carefully and mumbled unclearly, “It seems like the sound ca from father’s room.”
“Go quickly and have a look. Hopefully, nothing happened.”
“On a wedding night, what could possibly happen? Surely, the bride is just too nervous.”
“No, sothing’s not right. The voice sounds genuinely fearful, not fake at all.”
“Oh, brother! You’ve been with so many won and still don’t know? It’s normal for a young lady to be scared her first ti. Yelling a bit is nothing. It shows our father’s vigor; just ignore it. Let’s drink, drink!”
Madam Ruan was searching anxiously everywhere: “Where did Jianjian go? I haven’t seen him the whole evening.”
Finally, she walked over to Mo Daoyan, nudged him, and asked, “Husband, husband, have you seen our son? Where did he go? I haven’t seen him the whole night.”
Mo Daoyan looked up at her, drunkenly saying, “There were sounds coming from father’s room earlier. Go have a look; maybe he’s there, haha…!”
After speaking, he laughed foolishly twice. He was clearly drunk.
“Ridiculous! How could our son possibly be in his room?” Madam Ruan was full of disbelief.
Just then, another panicked shout occurred from the room, but this ti it wasn’t a woman’s voice. It was Old Master Mo’s aged voice…
“Help, help, murder!”
Everyone shuddered, and those who reacted quickly imdiately dashed towards Old Master’s room.
Inside the room.
Every item was covered with red paper, giving a festive look. Anyone could tell at a glance that this was a bridal chamber.
The two newlyweds, who were engaging in their marital bliss monts ago, now looked anxiously at Mo Hengjian standing in front of them.
In the dim candlelight, Mo Hengjian held a glittering dagger in his hand, with fresh blood dripping from the blade…
“Drip, drip.”
The blood dripped onto the floor, one drop at a ti.
Old Master Mo painfully covered his chest with his hand. This unfilial descendant dared to stab him for a woman.
“You… you… you unfilial descendant… you…!”
“Grandfather, don’t bla . You forced to this. I warned you not to take a concubine long ago, but you… insisted on doing so… and it had to be the woman I love the most. Why? Why on earth?” Mo Hengjian shouted frantically, waving the dagger in his hand.
