Shallot's words not only clarified the relationship between himself and today's collusion between Aunt Qian and the Zhou family to deliberately delay the time when they came to invite people, but also hinted that even if their mother and daughter had anything to do with the fourth lady, the lady was making trouble behind her back, and instead of spending effort to deal with them who had to obey orders, it was better to think of a way to deal with the mastermind.

"What Aunt Qian did was her business, and it had nothing to do with you. Although she is the mother in charge of my yard, I have neither a decades-long friendship with her, nor can I give her much benefit, and it is reasonable that she cannot be faithful to me. Qi Nian smiled and bent down to personally help the shallots up, a pair of watery eyes full of small gentle smiles, as if harmless to humans and animals, sighed lightly: "I only care whether you are loyal to me or not, after all, I have nothing else to rely on in this huge Qi Mansion except for my father's care." If you still don't take me, the fourth lady, in your eyes, like others, I really don't know what to do. ”

The tears of the shallots were about to fall again, and she gestured and wanted to bow down again, but Qi Nian held her arm firmly and never knelt down, only choked and said: "Miss, this is going to torture the slave!" ”

"How can we not be loyal to the young lady, my sister and I are both burdened by our lazy brother, if it weren't for the fact that he owes a large amount of gambling debts to the gambling house, we would not be sold into slavery......

"If we weren't fortunate enough to follow Miss, how could we have such a comfortable life, how could Miss treat us these days, how could we not remember it!"

The two sisters looked sincere, and the caring look on their faces did not seem to be fake.

Qianhe, who has always been taciturn, also stepped forward and said: "Miss is the first master to treat me so well, I will do my best to do things for Miss, and I will not disappoint Miss." ”

Several girls came forward eagerly, scrambling to pour out their loyalty. Qi Nian showed a touched look on her face, and at a glance out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that A-Yao was still standing in place stupidly and motionless, looking carefully, it turned out that she had fallen in love with the plate of sweet and crispy cloud cakes, and was secretly swallowing saliva, but she didn't expect that she should also come forward to show her loyalty at this time, whether it was true or false.

Qi Nian hid a hint of a smile that flashed in his eyes, and said: "I know your sincerity, when it comes to employing people, there should be no doubts, if you are suspicious, you should not use them." Now that I have regarded you as my confidants, I will no longer be suspicious. Her clear and clear gaze as clear as water swept gently across the faces of several girls, and her delicate and picturesque eyebrows seemed to be not in the world, and she said with a slight opening of her cherry lips: "Even if there are really those who are bold enough to murder me, I have to look at your involuntary role as a slave...... Spared Aunt Qin and spared her this time, didn't you? ”

These fluttering words smashed into their ears like thunder on the ground, and everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they didn't know what to say.

Shallot's heart was the most worried, not just because the fourth lady borrowed her words to warn the people with ghosts next to her.

The other three girls except for Qianhe, who lowered their heads as always and kept silent, the two twin sisters couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.

"You don't have to be afraid, after all, the one who should really be afraid is the one who does bad things." Qi Nian's face was as usual, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him, and he looked out of the window indifferently as if he was distracted and recalled: "You also know that I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and there are many strange things. When I was nine years old, I found a human-shaped ginseng in the mountains, and I was so happy that I took it home and wanted to stew it. But before I could eat that night, I fell ill and had a high fever that almost killed me. Fortunately, I was blessed with a great life, and in a half-daz, half-dream, I seemed to see an old gentleman with a crane-haired childish face, and he told me that he was a mountain god sent by God to guard the stability of the town, and that day he was sleeping on the big mountain ginseng, and was picked back by me, a mortal with the naked eye who did not know the height of the sky. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be fascinated when they heard her say so vividly, and even Ah Yao, who was standing behind her, pulled her eyes back from the cloud cake and looked at her intently.

Qi Nian smiled slightly, and continued: "The mountain god master also said, let me quickly return the mountain ginseng back to the mountain, otherwise, my young body will not be able to withstand the breath of the gods, I am afraid that I will die in Huangquan immediately." ”

"Oops!" Qianling couldn't help but scream in surprise, and asked, "Then what should Miss do at that time?" ”

"What else, naturally, I forcibly supported the sick body to bring the ginseng to its place and bury it back. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and the grandmother who took care of me was panicked like something, burning incense and worshiping Buddha everywhere overnight, and begged for several fairy talismans to bury near the mountain ginseng, just begging me to survive this fateful catastrophe. ”

Speaking of which, this is still true, in the previous life, after learning about the origin, his piece of jade was taken away by the Zhou family and given to Qi Shu. When she found out that she had returned to the festival after her death, it was the day when the high fever finally retreated. Aunt Qin panicked, let Qi Nian drink the antipyretic medicine prescribed by Lao Langzhong, and then tossed for most of the night, buried more than a dozen talismans in a row, and spent a lot of sesame oil money. After she regained her senses, it was more than ten years later. Later, more than a month later, he was dragged by Aunt Qin to the mountains to repay his wishes, and he dug out a piece of pure white sheep fat jade that was transparent and flawless in the soil where the talisman was buried, and the dozen or so talismans were gone, as if they had never been buried. At that time, Qin Gu shouted miracles and kowtowed to the place where the ginseng was buried, but Qi Nian, who was reborn once, would easily believe in the things of these snakes, ghosts, cows, and gods, and went straight to take the branch and dig the ginseng, and the soil had indeed been excavated.

"I'll show you, it's this piece of jade." Qi Nian took a piece of white and warm jade from his neck, put it in the palm of his hand and stretched it out to show them.

"It's really a good piece of jade, it's so beautiful." Qianling exclaimed: "I have never seen such a good thing, no wonder it is a gift from the mountain god." ”

"Not to mention you, I'm afraid Sister Shallot has never seen such a precious jade." Qianling's eyes were full of envy, and she couldn't help but reach out and take it and stroke it carefully, and suddenly said happily: "Look, it's still tentacles." ”

Seeing that the jade had passed through the hands of a few girls, Qi Nian put it away with a smile and said, "Although this jade is given by the mountain god, it doesn't have much magical power, only one thing is very rare, that is, it can recognize poison and distinguish poison." ”
