Chapter 243: Chess pieces
Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart, and when he heard the white shopkeeper sigh, "This is also a problem. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, since marrying someone is a wife, having children is naturally essential. After a pause, he said: "The matter between you and Wang Xiao can only be slowed down for a while, and then we will talk about it after Mr. Big detoxifies you." ”
Tang Rong said softly: "Thank you father-in-law for your concern." ”
"You are my daughter, and it is natural for you to worry about marriage." The white shopkeeper smiled and said, "Rong'er, do you understand what your father-in-law said?" ”
"Yes." Tang Rong said: "My father-in-law asked me to inform Mr. Big that my identity has been exposed, so that I can go back there, and Mr. Big sees that I have no use value, so he may be able to detoxify me and return my freedom." ”
The white shopkeeper said with a smile: "Not bad." But after you came back, you almost didn't go out alone, and it wasn't easy for Mr. Big's people to get in touch with you, so what I mean, you can go out and walk around these days and give you a chance to contact you over there. ”
Tang Rong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Father-in-law, if they know that I have been exposed, they may let me withdraw with them immediately, if so, I will not be able to serve by my father-in-law's side in the future." He smiled bitterly and said: "Although Mr. Big sent me to my father-in-law's side, my father-in-law has treated me like his own daughter all these years and cared for me everywhere, and now my father-in-law's legs and feet are inconvenient, I really don't want to leave like this." ”
"Silly boy, if you don't leave today, don't leave tomorrow, you will have to leave one day." The white shopkeeper also sighed: "My leg is useless, and I can only rely on a wheelchair in this life." I know you want to be by my side, but that will only delay you. You go and solve your own affairs, if you and Wang Xiao become dependents, you can still take care of me in the future. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm old and likes to nag, so don't dislike it." It's late, I won't bother you, go to bed early. ”
Tang Rong said: "My father-in-law also went to bed early. "Get up and help the white shopkeeper push out the door.
Qin Xiao was afraid that the white shopkeeper would go and return, so he didn't get up from the bed for a while, and after a while, he heard the sound of the door closing, and saw through the gap in the quilt that the white shopkeeper had bypassed the screen, walked to the bedside, and sat down on the edge of the bed with a heavy heart, and didn't pay attention to himself for a while.
Qin Xiao was sure that there was no movement outside, so he came out of the quilt, took a few deep breaths, and said in a low voice: "It's so fragrant inside, I'm really reluctant to come out." ”
Tang Rong glanced at Qin Xiao and said in a low voice, "Did you hear everything?" ”
Qin Xiao sat down next to Tang Rong and nodded slightly: "The white shopkeeper is really powerful, he has already seen through your identity." But he is still kind to you and doesn't do anything to you. ”
"My father-in-law is really good to me." Tang Rong smiled bitterly: "I always thought I was hiding it well, but I was still found by my father-in-law. ”
"The white shopkeeper seems to be familiar with Mr. Big." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "He also knows Qianye Manluo very well, where do you say he knows this?" ”
Tang Rong shook her head and sighed faintly: "Although I have been by his side for more than ten years, he has seen through me, but I always know little about him. He glanced at Qin Xiao and said in a low voice, "Can you tell me why you have an antidote on you?" When were you poisoned by Mr. Big? ”
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "Sister Rong, if I tell you that the first time I heard the name of Mr. Big came from your mouth, do you believe it or not?" ”
Tang Rong stared at Qin Xiao's eyes, and only nodded slightly after a moment: "I believe it." Then he frowned and said, "But according to me."
I know that everyone who takes a thousand nights of manro is personally given medicine by Mr. Big, and Mr. Big never pretends to others. The only time I saw Mr. Big was because I received medicine from Mr. Big, and after that, Mr. Big's orders were all passed on by his cronies. If you are poisoned, who will give you medicine but Mr. Big? ”
Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and finally said, "Sister Rong, I can only tell you that the cold poison on my body is much earlier than yours. ”
"again." Tang Rong said: "I was ordered by Mr. Da thirteen years ago, arranged by them to appear next to my father-in-law and was given medicine by Mr. Da before going to Wuda. After looking at Qin Xiao, he said, "Could it be that you were given medicine by Mr. Big when you were a child?" ”
"It's true that since I can remember, there has been cold poison in my body." Qin Xiao didn't hide it either: "But it's not Mr. Big who poisoned me, I don't know, I only know that I didn't accept the medicine from him myself." ”
Tang Rong was even more surprised, frowned and thought for a while, before saying: "My father-in-law said that Qianye Manluo is only owned by Mr. Big, and no one else can make this kind of poison except him, if you were poisoned when you were a child, then it is strange, why would he poison a child?" ”
"That's what's weird about me." Qin Xiao sighed: "I'm just a child in the countryside, how can a character like Mr. Big target me?" If he knows me and has any grudges against me, he can just kill me. If he has any plans for me, why hasn't he been looking for me for more than ten years? Shaking his head, he looked dazed: "I really don't know what happened." ”
Tang Rong believed that Qin Xiao was not lying, but such a fact made Tang Rong even more puzzled.
"Yes, why did you obey Mr. Big's dispatch back then?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked, "When you took the poison, did you know that it was poison?" ”
Tang Rong lowered her head, stopped talking, and finally said: "I lost my parents when I was very young, wandered around with a group of children, and was later taken in by a great benevolent person. He gave us food and drink, and also taught us to read and write, boys taught them to practice from an early age, and girls had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, and cooking. ”
Qin Xiao was very surprised, thinking that Sister Rong had such an experience, and said, "I can send you to Wutuo, you must be the best among them." ”
"Before accepting the mission, I will go to see Mr. Big." Tang Rong said: "After receiving the medicine from Mr. Big, he will receive the task, and everyone who accepts the task will secretly have someone sent by Mr. Big to contact him, in addition to reporting information, he also receives the antidote regularly." ”
Qin Xiao sneered: "The white shopkeeper is not wrong in saying a sentence, Mr. Big uses drugs to control people to work hard for him, this trick is not only vicious, but also very inferior. He frowned and said: "But the white shopkeeper said that the antidote to this poison is the rhizome of Qianye Manro, that is to say, in order to completely remove the cold poison in the body, you must find Qianye Manro, and Qianye Manro is in the hands of Mr. Big, so only by finding Mr. Big can you find the real antidote." ”
Tang Rong was thoughtful and did not answer.
"Sister Rong, where did you see Mr. Big?" Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
Tang Rong shook her head and said, "When I went to see him, I was in a carriage and was blindfolded, although when I saw him
was untied, but he was behind a screen, and the surroundings were so dim that he couldn't see his appearance clearly, even his figure, and after taking the drug, he was taken away blindfolded. I don't know where I've been. ”
Qin Xiao knew that Tang Rong should not be lying, if he was Mr. Big, of course, he would not easily expose his true identity, nor would he let people know where he was.
"That's going to be difficult." Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "If you want to detoxify you, you must find Mr. Big, but we don't know where he is now." ”
Tang Rong smiled bitterly: "It's been so many years, I'm used to it." If he can help me detoxify, it will be better, if I don't care about it, it's just a life. ”
"Don't worry, he doesn't care about you and me." Qin Xiao couldn't help but reach over and hold Sister Rong's little hand, "But I will find a way to help you remove the cold poison from your body, otherwise how can you marry me?" ”
Tang Rong blushed, looked at Qin Xiao, and asked softly, "Do you really want to marry me?" ”
"Nature is true." Qin Xiao said: "I even have the house ready, just send a hostess, if you don't get started, who can be in charge?" Gently rubbing Sister Rong's smooth and delicate delicate hair, she said softly: "Don't you say it, the white shopkeeper also said, you should return to the life of a normal person, husband and children, this is your final destination." ”
Tang Rong wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly leaned over gently, Qin Xiao hurriedly wrapped his arms around her waist, and let Sister Rong's head rest on her shoulder, only to hear Sister Rong say quietly: "It is naturally the best to be able to marry and teach children, but life is never smooth sailing." ”
"The white shopkeeper asked you to go out for a walk, give Mr. Big's people a chance, starting tomorrow, let's go around the city." Qin Xiao said: "At that time, if Mr. Big's people come into contact with you, you can find Mr. Big, and then ask him for an antidote." ”
Tang Rong's breath was like an orchid, and she smiled bitterly: "Do you really think it's so simple? ”
"What's wrong?"
Tang Rong said in a low voice: "Do you think that my father-in-law let Mr. Big's people find me just so that I could ask Mr. Big for an antidote?" You sighed: "You are sometimes smart and terrible, and sometimes stupid and distressing. ”
Qin Xiao frowned, suddenly understood something, his heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "You mean...... Is the white shopkeeper using you? ”
"The stepfather must want to know who Mr. Big is, and even want to find him." Tang Rong leaned close to Qin Xiao's ear and said softly: "He has long seen through my identity, but he has been pretending not to know, maybe as he said, he and Mr. Big have the same purpose, so they can cooperate, but there is another reason, he must want to use me as a breakthrough to find clues about Mr. Big." ”
"He was worried about startling the snake, so he didn't reveal your identity for a long time." Qin Xiao also suddenly realized at this time: "This time I suddenly revealed your identity, and asked you to take the initiative to contact Mr. Big's people, naturally hoping to use you to lure out Mr. Big's people, and then follow the vine to find Mr. Big." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, that's it." Tang Rong said: "My identity has been exposed, stay here, he will only be wary of me day and night, suspicious of me, and will never go back to the past, if I leave, contact people according to what he said, it will become a tool for him to find Mr. Big." He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm now a chess piece on the chessboard, at the mercy of others." ”
