Chapter Ninety-Nine: Admonition
Qianli took the two sisters to a humble mansion and planned to take them through the secret passage through the city walls.
"Please come with me, there are steps below, please be careful with your step." Qianli lit the torch in the secret passage and held it in his hand, leading the way in front, Min'er now completely forgot about her fear and took Ling'er's hand and followed in.
There was nothing special in the passage, it was just an ordinary passage dug out by hand, and after walking for about ten minutes, they came to the end of the passage. After adapting to the change of light, Ling'er was a little speechless, because they came out of the place or the wardrobe, should they be so uncreative?
"Two girls, please get in the car." Qianli took them from the house to the courtyard, where a carriage was already waiting. The two didn't say much and got into the car obediently, and after almost a quarter of an hour of silence, Qianli's voice came from outside.
"It's here, please get out of the car."
Ling'er was fine, but Min'er was very nervous, and Ling'er's little hand was red without knowing it, so Ling'er had to whisper:
"Sister, my hands hurt."
"Huh? Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, you kid, it's all red. Min'er was reminded by Ling'er to find that she had actually clenched her little hand like this, and her heart ached.
"It's okay sister, let's get out of the car." Ling'er's words successfully diverted Min'er's attention.
The two of them got out of the car and found that the carriage was parked in a courtyard. Even they are guarded against? Then I thought about it, there was nothing wrong with this, and knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing. Just when Ling'er was thinking wildly, Qianli took them to a courtyard gate, and when he looked at the courtyard wall and door, he knew that the owner of this place must not be an ordinary person. Although it is not much gorgeous, but the materials are quite exquisite, of course, how can the two of them at this time have the leisure to study the architectural style of others?
"Miss Min, it's inside, please come with me." After entering the courtyard gate, he found that it was not very big, just like the courtyard house where they lived, Qianli came to the main house and signaled to the two sisters, and the two followed him into the room.
The moment the door opened, the strong smell of medicine was like several people coming, Min'er let go of Ling'er's hand and walked gently inside, and when she saw the person on the bed, she suddenly froze there. Seeing this, Ling'er, who didn't know why, quickly came to Min'er's side, and looked at it and his heart sank.
I saw that the delicate wooden bed was covered with a brocade quilt, but the person lying on it was skinny, it was simply skinny, and if I didn't look carefully, I couldn't tell that person was Yi Junan. Ling'er couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qianli, and asked him with her eyes: Is this Yi Jun'an? Qianli seemed to understand what she meant, nodded yes, and explained in a low voice:
"He was locked up in Yifu for more than ten days, the specific situation is not clear, we saw him in the afternoon is like this, the doctor said that if he can wake up within three days then his life can be saved, but if it is ......" Qianli said this, but they couldn't say anything anymore, when they heard the news of his house arrest, they were not very worried, thinking that the tiger poison would not eat children. Who knew that things would develop like this, after Sima saw Yi Junan like this in the afternoon, he left without saying a word, he knew that he must have gone to investigate the matter in person. I believe that I will get the news in two days, and even the envoy of the Tai Hospital can't make him wake up, and I really don't know what to do.
After Min'er heard Qianli's words, it was as if she had been activated all of a sudden, and she turned her head to Ling'er and said:
"Ling'er, go back, I'm going to take care of him here." Ling'er saw that her eyes were very firm, and she knew that she had made up her mind.
"Sister, I'll help you here."
"No, you go back and do your business, it's enough for me here, I'll go back when he wakes up, Qianli Gongzi will trouble you to send my sister back safely." Min'er's tone was very calm, how could she make Ling'er feel at ease with this kind of look?
"Sister,......
"Miss Ling'er, please come here." After Qianli interrupted Ling'er's words, seeing Ling'er's puzzled eyes, he hurriedly motioned for her to go out to talk, Ling'er turned her head to look at Min'er, who walked to the side of the bed to change the veil for Yi Jun'an, so she had to follow Qianli to the courtyard first.
"Do you have something to say?" Ling'er is in a very bad mood, she doesn't have much friendship with Yi Jun'an, but Min'er's mind is clear to her, if she can be in a good mood at this time, her heart will be twice as big as a watermelon when it is dried.
"This matter is not so simple, you better wait for our news, and start busy with your business tomorrow." Qianli didn't know how to explain things.
"You mean to let me prepare the shop as if I were nobody?" Ling'er is really angry, at this time she still has the leisure to think about the shop?
"You have to be a nobody." Qianli was a little anxious when she saw her, and her tone was a little stiff.
"Why?" Ling'er's tone was not very good, if it weren't for the fear that Min'er inside would hear it, she would really want to roar.
"Because someone has been following you since you set out, we have not found out who did it for a long time, and for the sake of you and Jun'an, we can only stand still. Wait until we find out the details of the stalker before we can make a decision, now you understand? "Qianli is in a bad mood because of Yi Junan's affairs, so he has lost his former demeanor, but fortunately, he is not rude.
"No matter who you must be causing trouble, I have only one request, to ensure the safety of all of us, otherwise we will not let you go." Ling'er's heart was very angry, they were just ordinary people, how could they offend any mysterious people? I should have thought about the lunch that I didn't eat for free, and now it's too late to regret it, I just hope that they have the ability to protect them.
"Please rest assured, girl, we are not so idle." Qianli's words were expected by Ling'er, and the reason why she asked was just to ask for peace of mind. It's okay to say that she has a big heart, it's okay to say that she has rough nerves, in short, I'm not too worried about the mysterious person Qianli said, I think she is too confident in Sima Chen.
"I want to know the whole story, this matter has nothing to do with me, but since my sister is involved, then I must not be confused." This is what Ling'er is most concerned about at the moment.
"Sima is dealing with this matter now, I believe that in a few days he will solve this matter satisfactorily, and he will definitely give the girl an explanation at that time, and I hope that the girl will wait patiently for some time.
Ling'er didn't say anything more after listening, but consciously got into the carriage she was in when she came, maybe Qianli expected that she would not stay for long, so the coachman was still in place. I entered the city through that secret passage again, and when Ling'er returned to the room, it was almost the beginning of the year (3:00), and she was so tired that she fell asleep, and she thought she would be worried about it, but who would have thought that she would sleep until nearly noon the next day.
"Girl, you're awake, and I think if you don't wake up by noon, I'll find a doctor to show you." Qiao'er finally heard a voice coming from inside, so she gently pushed the door into the room, and saw Ling'er, who was already dressed, and said angrily.
"Okay, you're getting bolder, it seems that I'm usually too good to you." Ling'er quipped.
"Girl, Miss Min, her?" In fact, Qiao'er has been waiting anxiously, and part of the reason is that Lan Xin is urging her, so she won't run in to wake up the girl for Lan Xin.
"Sister, she went on an errand, and she won't be back in a few days, so if anyone asks, just say so." Ling'er can't think of any good reason, so she can only do this, anyway, people who have a heart can't hide it even if they want to.
"Got it, girl, how about a new haircut today? I learned this new one yesterday. Qiao'er happily wanted to show off her skills.
"Oh? And with whom? Ling'er looked at Qiao'er from the mirror, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her expression, which was very natural.
"It's Aunt Wang next door, didn't you and Miss Min go out yesterday, I just wanted to go around here to recognize the way or something, and I met Aunt Wang next door who was very good, so I chatted a few more words." Qiao'er said as she combed Ling'er with the popular hairstyles of the ladies in Kyosato.
"Learn to comb your hair after a few words? I didn't know you were so smart, it seems that it would be too condescending to be a girl for me. After Ling'er finished speaking, Qiao'er immediately knelt on the ground and begged when she heard it:
"Girl, Qiao'er is wrong, please forgive me this time, I won't dare next time."
"What are you doing wrong?" Ling'er wanted to see if she understood what she meant.
"I ...... I ......" Qiao'er squeaked for a long time and didn't say why, Ling'er couldn't help but sigh when she saw her like that.
"You, you don't know what's wrong, why admit your mistake?" Ling'er usually doesn't have too many requirements for Qiao'er, and even some of her daily life is mostly do-it-yourself.
"Please make it clear to the girl that the slave is stupid." Qiao'er's attitude was sincere, she knew that she must have made a big mistake, or the girl wouldn't have spoken like that.
"Hey, don't get down on your knees at every turn, get up and listen." Seeing Qiao'er, Ling'er stood up obediently, pointed to her hair and motioned her to continue combing, before she said earnestly:
"If we are new to the place of life, we must not have the intention of harming others, but we must have the heart of guarding against others. Sometimes a few gossips are not gossip in the ears of those who have a heart, we have only been here for one day, and it is the first one in the alley. Isn't it too early to catch up with you so soon? Think about what she asked you? When Ling'er said this, Qiao'er didn't move at all, looking at her hard-thinking appearance is really cute. Ling'er didn't want to scare her, nor did she want to stand up in front of her, but because of Qianli's words yesterday, she felt that it was still necessary to not completely rely on the most basic precautions of others for everything.
