Chapter Seventy-Seven: Annoyance and Anger
"This ......"
The coachman was speechless for a while, staring at Yan Zixi with wide eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Yan Zixi smiled slightly, and continued: "Also, every midnight, do you feel that your hands and feet are cold, and the pain around your shoulders is unbearable? ”
The driver's face became more and more ugly, and he only felt that his breathing had become difficult at the moment.
"I ...... I...... Is it really poisoned? Purple Girl...... Don't scare me......"
The coachman threw away the sharp knife in his hand at once, and the whole person was already panicking.
He grabbed Yan Zixi and begged Yan Zixi to save him.
"Miss Zixi, please! Please save me, I don't want to die yet! ”
"Hmph, I said big brother coachman, it's useless for you to beg me now, if I save you, and you kill me in turn, then what should I do?"
"Nope! No, it won't! Believe me, Miss Zixi, I would never do such an ungrateful thing! I can swear to you that if you will save me, I will send you back now!" ”
The coachman was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and at this moment, where could he care about killing, just to save his life.
Yan Zixi smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Brother coachman, this way, you send me back to the inn first, and when I am safe, I will consider treating you." ”
"This ......"
The coachman hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, looked up at Yan Zixi and said.
"Okay, Miss Zixi, it's a deal. I'm going to send you back now, and you're going to cure me!" ”
"Don't worry, although I, Yan Zixi, am not a gentleman, but what I say is still difficult to chase."
"Good...... Good ......"
The coachman nodded, then helped Yan Zixi into the carriage, and then drove to the Yuelai Inn in Dongcheng.
……
Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Lord Qianqian walked into the study with a bowl of chicken soup.
Xiao Jingcong was sitting in the study reading a book, and when she saw the county lord of Qianqian coming, as if she hadn't seen it, she still buried her head and looked at the scroll in her hand.
The county lord of Qianqian walked in front of Xiao Jingcong with a smile on his face, and called softly in a loud voice.
"Brother Jingcong, I specially made chicken soup for you, can you taste it?"
Xiao Jingcong didn't raise his head, and responded coldly in his mouth: "Put it down." ”
The county lord of Qianqian was a little unwilling, and spoke again.
"Brother Jingcong, this chicken soup has been boiled by myself for three hours, you drink it while it's hot, it's not good if it's cold......"
Xiao Jingcong still said expressionlessly: "Didn't I let you put it down?" ”
"But ......"
What else did the county lord of Qianqian want to say, seeing that Xiao Jingcong was lukewarm and emotionless to her, she only felt aggrieved in her heart.
She put the chicken soup on the desk, then took out a sachet from her arms and handed it to Xiao Jingcong with both hands.
The sachet is red on the base, bordered by gold thread, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, lifelike and vivid.
It is enough to see the ingenuity of the princess of Qianqian.
She presented the sachet in front of Xiao Jingcong, and said with a smile.
"Brother Jingcong, this is the sachet I sewed for you with my own hands, Qianqian knows that you have the habit of wearing sachets since you were a child, so I specially embroidered this sachet for you, I hope Brother Jingcong can like it!"
"No, my sachet doesn't need to be replaced." Xiao Jingcong still didn't look at the Qianqian County Lord, his eyes were all on the scroll in his hand.
Seeing that Xiao Jingcong despised himself so much, the lord of Qianqian County was both sad and sad in his heart, and he was very resentful.
She was sad because her favorite brother Jingcong hadn't raised his eyes to look at her since she entered the door, as if he regarded her existence as air.
And her resentment is not resentful of Xiao Jingcong, she is resentful of Yan Zixi, the vixen, who took away the marriage of her favorite Jingcong's brother.
In the past, Brother Jingcong was not as cold to him as he is now, but since that Yan Zixi appeared, everything has changed.
Brother Jingcong seems to have changed as a different person, and he has never said anything nice to himself again, and even communication has become extremely difficult.
Lord Qianqian bit her lip, still refusing to give up, she still wanted to try again.
Thinking of this, the county lord of Qianqian grinned again.
"Brother Jingcong, can you try my sachet? In order to embroider this sachet, Qianqian spent many nights and had several stitches on her hands. But Qianqian feels that all this is worth it, as long as Brother Jingcong is willing to bring my sachet, it is my greatest happiness! ”
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he finally raised his head and glanced at the county lord of Qianqian.
The county lord of Qianqian saw that Xiao Jingcong was looking at her, and was about to talk to him more, but who knew that Xiao Jingcong sank his face and said to the county lord of Qianqian indifferently and ruthlessly.
"Qianqian, I appreciate your kindness. I don't really need any sachets though...... Also, bring out this chicken soup too, and don't interfere with my reading! ”
The slightly open mouth of the county lord of Qianqian immediately closed again, the smile on his face also froze, and the whole person was stunned in place, and he did not recover for a long time.
Xiao Jingcong saw that the county lord of Qianqian did not move and stayed where he was, so he stood up by himself, took a few scrolls and walked directly out of the door.
When he walked to the door, Xiao Jingcong stopped and spat out a few cold words in his mouth.
"Qianqian, listen, I don't allow you to hurt Yan Zixi's hair, otherwise you ......"
Xiao Jingcong walked out of the study without finishing her words, and the county lord of Qianqian heard Xiao Jingcong's words, her body shook violently, and when she reacted, Xiao Jingcong was already gone.
Cold sweat was already oozing from the back of the county lord of Qianqian, and at the moment when Xiao Jingcong said those words just now, he even felt a chill emanating from Xiao Jingcong's body.
It's dog days!
Xiao Jingcong's words were not an order to the county lord of Qianqian, but a warning to her.
After the county lord of Qianqian came to his senses, he was so angry that he reached out and whisked the chicken soup to the ground.
"Dangchang!"
The porcelain bowl shattered to the ground, just like the injured and distorted heart of the county lord of Qianqian.
The county lord of Qianqian trembled, his teeth trembled up and down, "Yan Zixi...... Yan Zixi...... It's all you! It's all because of you! I, Lord Qianqian, swear that you must die ugly! ”
With a wave of his sleeves, the county lord of Qianqian angrily walked out of the study and went straight to the gate of the general's mansion.
Mrs. Xiao, who was admiring the flowers in the garden, saw the county lord of Qianqian leaving with anger, and wanted to stop her to ask, but after shouting several times, the county lord of Qianqian did not answer, and I don't know if she didn't hear it, or because she didn't want to deal with it in anger.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao immediately returned to the house to find Xiao Jingcong.
After Xiao Jingcong came out of the study, she came to the side hall to read, and after Mrs. Xiao learned about it from her subordinates, she hurried over.
Mrs. Xiao walked up to Xiao Jingcong angrily and snatched the scroll from Xiao Jingcong's hand.
Xiao Jingcong raised her head, frowned slightly and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
"You...... You're too embarrassed to ask me what's wrong? Cong'er, let me ask you, what did you do to Qianqian? ”
"What was done? I didn't do anything, huh? Xiao Jingcong asked with a puzzled expression.
Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows coldly, "Didn't you do anything?!" Didn't do anything Why did Qianqian run away in a huff, with tears on her face, I called her and she shouldn't do me, this has never happened! ”
After a slight pause, Mrs. Xiao continued to ask.
"Cong'er, did you scold her and beat her?"
"Mother, what are you talking about?! Qianqian is a dignified county lord, how could I possibly hit her? ”
"Then why is Qianqian like this?" Mrs. Xiao was still confused.
Xiao Jingcong didn't bother to explain to her mother, "My mother wants to know, just ask her myself." ”
"You damned child! You just tell your mother? Besides, Qianqian is such a good daughter-in-law, I don't understand why you just don't like people? ”
"Mother, don't talk nonsense! Qianqian has never been the daughter-in-law of our Zhenguo General's Mansion, besides, I grew up with her childhood sweetheart, and I have always treated her as my own sister, and there is no childlike affection! ”
Mrs. Xiao didn't care, and said to Xiao Jingcong seriously.
"Cong'er, it doesn't matter if you don't have the love of children, you can cultivate feelings slowly! I think back then, I didn't even see your father, didn't I come too? ”
Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Jingcong turn her back, she was a little impatient, and turned around again.
"Cong'er, my mother and your father are also old, we don't want anything, we just want you to marry a virtuous wife, so that we can take over the internal affairs of our general's mansion in the future......"
"Mother, are you marrying a daughter-in-law? I think it's clearly marrying a housekeeper! What's more, Qianqian is far from being as simple as you think! ”
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her eyes lit up, and a trace of surprise appeared on her face.
"Cong'er, what do you mean by this? What do you say about Qianqian? ”
"Mother, I'm just reminding you, Qianqian is definitely not what you see, her city is very deep, unfathomable, not a simple and simple woman......"
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong took back the scroll from Mrs. Xiao's hand, and when she got up to leave, she was stopped by Mrs. Xiao from behind.
"Cong'er, no matter what kind of girl Qianqian is, I will not agree to you marrying a folk wild girl of unknown origin, you dispel this heart as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Xiao's tone was very tough, as if she couldn't tolerate anyone else's words.
Of course, that also includes Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong didn't say a word, turned around and left the side hall, leaving Mrs. Xiao alone in a daze.
……
Beijing, East City, Yuelai Inn.
The coachman respectfully sent Yan Zixi back to the inn, and he also walked in with him.
"Miss Zixi, you see that I have sent you back safely, should you tell me the cure?"
The corners of Yan Zixi's mouth lifted and said with a smile.
"Brother coachman, you go to the pharmacy to grab five coins of wolfberry, five coins of thyme, five coins of honeysuckle, five coins of wild chrysanthemums, fry them for an hour and drink them."
