It has only been a month since Xue Ling passed away, and the white silk on the wall of Xue Mansion has not yet been removed. It was noon, the Xue Mansion in the past should be happy at this time, the smoke curling, today is like every day of the month, the whole mansion is overflowing with a depressing atmosphere.

At lunchtime, Xue Qi still didn't go out to eat on time, and locked himself in the study to deal with affairs. These days, he has been exhausted, not only to deal with all kinds of tedious affairs, but also to force the pain of losing his brother to the bottom of his heart. He hadn't closed his eyes much for three days, and sometimes Xue Wu came over with dishes and chopsticks to call him to eat, and he also scribbled a few bites and then buried himself in hard work again.

Just a few days ago, Xue Wu also fell ill, and after inviting many doctors to come to diagnose and ye, he didn't necessarily get better, so he could only lie on the bed, his face was pale, and Xue Qi was pitiful. This time, Xue Qi was even more anxious, often lying in bed late at night and couldn't fall asleep, even if he ordered the best soothing incense, he was not sleepy, and his mind was full of miscellaneous disturbing things.

"Boss!" The maid knocked on the door, and when she saw that there was no response, she changed again, "In charge?" ”

Xue Qi reacted from the pile of books, obviously he hadn't adapted to this identity yet, rubbed his eyes and, and cleared his throat that hadn't been spoken for a long time: "Come in." ”

"In charge, the master of the Yu family came to visit, saying that he brought a good hand in Xinglin, Miss Nengye's illness."

In the past month, this is the third time that Yu Jing has come to visit Xue's mansion. Xue Qi knew that his purpose was just to ally with the Xue Mansion, and Yu Jing's mind Xue Qi naturally understood that a businessman's plan must be something related to money. However, since it is said that it can cure Xue Wu's illness, Xue Qi is still willing to see it.

"Ask him to come over." Xue Qi got up, not wanting to fall down with a soft foot, only to realize that he had been sitting here for too long, and his legs were numb.

"Yes."

When he arrived at the meeting hall, Yu Jing changed his face and saluted Xue Qi with a smile: "Xue Zhangshi, the old man looks at your face is not good, presumably Xue Mansion is busy these days, Xue Zhangshi still has to take care of his health." ”

"Don't worry about the master. This is the doctor you hired? ”

"Exactly."

Xue Qi looked up and down at the black-robed young doctor in front of him, who did not have a single white hair and looked to be in his early twenties despite his beard, and some suspected that Yu Jing had paid a charlatan to harm Xue Wu.

"Master Yu, the people who came to diagnose Xiao Wu before are all old doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades, and the doctors you brought here, I'm afraid that there are only a handful of patients who have seen them, right?"

The black-robed doctor touched his beard, and didn't mind Xue Qi's words at all: "Xue is well-informed, how can he be good-looking, wait for Xiaosheng to take a look at the patient, and it's not too late to talk about Xiaosheng again." ”

Xue Qi was skeptical, but thought that everyone was here anyway, and it wouldn't be bad to ask him to take a look. When the time comes, he will prescribe the medicine, call a few old doctors to check it, and then go and grab the medicine himself: "Okay, please here." ”

led Yu Jing and the black-robed doctor to Xue Wu's boudoir, and the screen covered Xue Wu, who was sick in bed behind the curtain.

"Second brother, did you bring a doctor to help me see my illness again?" Xue Wu spoke a little short of breath and spoke weakly.

"Yes."

"The second brother is busy with business, so he doesn't have to worry about Xiao Wu. Those old doctors prescribed a few prescriptions, maybe it will be better in a few days. ”

Before Xue Qi could comfort Xue Wu, the black-robed doctor spoke: "Miss, do you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and sometimes you have symptoms of dizziness?" ”

"Yes. The previous doctor also said that these days are snowy days, and it is suddenly cold, which is what hurts the wind chill. Coupled with physical weakness, the time to get better will naturally be longer than others. Second brother, it seems that this doctor's diagnosis is the same as that of the old doctor before, so why don't you ask him to go back. Xue Wu repeatedly didn't want this doctor to diagnose and smelt, because the maid told her, this is the doctor brought by Yu Jing. Although Xue Wu does not participate in this kind of business, she still has double yin eyes, and Xue Wu also knows Yu Jing's purpose. Since Xue Wu can't help in business, reducing the occurrence of such troublesome things is the only thing she can do.

"Miss, if you let Xiaosheng diagnose the pulse, if Xiaosheng can't diagnose anything, it won't be too late for me to leave."

Xue Wu listened to the doctor's tone, and estimated that he was a young and talented person, and it seemed that the doctor was determined to see a doctor for himself, and made it difficult again: "It's okay." It's just that I listen to my husband's voice, and he must be still young. The old doctors before were all diagnosing my pulse, I don't know if Mr. will? ”

The black-robed doctor touched his beard, took out the silk thread and handed it to the maid: "Naturally, but there may be some deviations in the diagnosis of the hanging silk." ”

"It doesn't matter, if Mr. can diagnose one or two, it means that I, Xue Wu, have underestimated people, and I will naturally apologize to Mr."

The maid pulled the silk thread behind the screen, Xue Wu gave her a look, and the maid understood and wrapped the silk thread around her hand.

The black-robed doctor held the silk thread, and after a while, he said: "The pulse is gentle, but it is a little hurried, I think it is because I have just trotted over." ”

Xue Wu and the maid glanced at each other, what he said was really good, before they were still in the future, the maid came all the way to tell Xue Wu that Yu Jing had brought a doctor over to see her. This time, Xue Wu took the maid's silk thread and put it on his hand.

"It's me who underestimated Mr., and it is indeed the pulse of my personal maid. Now I ask my husband to check my pulse. ”

"Okay." The black-robed doctor touched his beard and continued to check his pulse.

"How?" Xue Qi saw that the black-robed doctor had not spoken for a long time, and asked eagerly.

The black-robed doctor got up, withdrew the silk thread, and began to sort out his things: "Miss, this is a floating vein, floating and powerless for the appearance of deficiency, this is indeed a symptom of external wind and cold and illness staying on the surface, and the medicine that the old doctor prescribed to Miss before can continue to eat." ”

"But it's been almost half a month, and it doesn't necessarily get better."

The black-robed doctor carried the medicine box on his back: "Miss is depressed, if she wants her condition to improve, the surrounding environment and atmosphere will naturally have to be changed." If you can, it's also great to have some happy events. ”

"Sir's words are different from those old doctors." Xue Wu affirmed the words of the black-robed doctor, Xue Wu couldn't get over the matter of Xue Ling's death, as if it was originally an indispensable thing in life, and it was empty all of a sudden, and he couldn't fill anything.

Xue Qi summoned the maid and wanted to hand the silver to the black-robed doctor.

"Today's Xiaosheng's diagnosis is the same as that of those old doctors, so Xiaosheng will not accept the money from Xue Zhangshi and take his leave."

The black-robed doctor left without looking back, Xue Qi ordered someone to send it, and looked around the Xue Mansion, thinking that it had been suppressed for a long time, and he hadn't even heard birdsong and laughter for a long time.

"Xiao Wu, you rest first, and tell your brother if you feel uncomfortable."

Xue Wu nodded: "Second brother, don't worry, Xiao Wu takes medicine on time every day, and she will get better." ”

Xue Qi listened to Xue Wu's well-behaved words, and his heart was inevitably filled with sadness. Since childhood, Xue Wu has been so strong. He still clearly remembers that when he was a child, he took Xue Wu to fly a kite, and Xue Wu's kite broke the string, and she was stunned to chase the kite that flew away for a long time.

When Xue Qi finally found Xue Wu who was chasing the kite, Xue Wu's palms and knees were scratched, Xue Qi was distressed, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the mud stains on her face and hands, and took her back to Xue Mansion to deal with her wounds. What's worse is that Xue Wu is still clamoring to find the kite along the way, and when it comes to dealing with the wound, Yin Yin can shout out because of the pain, but this stupid girl just gritted her teeth, tears rolled in her eyes, but she still stared at her bleeding wound, as if ordering it not to bleed. At that time, Xue Qi swore that he must protect Xue Wu well in the future, he didn't want her to be a strong person, he didn't want her to bury everything in his heart, and he didn't want her to endure so hard.

Just like this time when he learned of Xue Ling's death, Xue Wu cried for seven days, and his eyes were red from crying. After the burial, Xue Qi saw Xue Wu often sitting there alone, his eyes were empty, and he saw her sitting like this more than once. In fact, Xue Qi knew that Xue Wu was bitter in her heart, and Xue Qi thought that she had dried Xue Wu's tears in those seven days, and she would get better. It wasn't until Xue Wu fell ill and didn't get well for so long that Xue Qi knew that in fact, Xue Wu just had no tears in his eyes, and the tears in his heart were still flowing.

As the black-robed doctor said, Xue Qi thought it was time to rush to rejoice.

Back in the council hall, Yu Jing took the hot tea presented by the maid and said slowly: "Third Miss, what is Xue going to do?" ”

"I don't have a clue yet." Xue Qi was so worried that his brain was dizzy, and he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples and thought bitterly.

"It's better for Xue Zhangshi and Xiao Nian to marry, as soon as Xiao Nian and the third miss have been playmates since childhood, they can take care of each other and alleviate the third miss's condition; Second, wouldn't it be wonderful for you and me to work together and join forces? ”

By now, Xue Qi has finally seen the purpose of Yu Jing's visit, so it seems that the black-robed doctor is probably also the trust he found, in order to marry Yu Nian. This old fox does not hesitate to ruin his daughter's happiness for the sake of money and power, and he is really a snobbish father who loves his daughter.

Xue Qi stood up from the chair, lifted his spirit and said, "Master Yu reminded me, but I already have a marriage contract, and Miss Yu's happiness should not be mine." ”

"The boss said that the boss ordered it for you casually three years ago, right? As far as I know, the family lives in Dongcheng, thousands of miles away. Besides, this family is not in the right place with the Xue Mansion, so it is better to give up. ”

"Master Yu knows a lot about her family. However, if the elders say, I, Xue Qi, naturally have to rest assured, even if it is said casually. It's not too early, I still have a lot of business to deal with, come and see off guests! ”

After that, he didn't give Yu Jing a chance to continue, and went straight back to the study. As soon as he sat down, he slammed his fist on the table. He was not angry at Yu Jing's idea of coming to fight the Xue family again, but he was angry at how there could be such a snobbish person as Yu Jing in the world. Not to mention that what he said today insulted Xue Ling, even Yu Nian's marriage could be regarded as a transaction.

Xue Qi has a secret that has been hidden for more than ten years, and that is his feelings for Nian. He thought that as long as he didn't turn it out, he could watch her marry with peace of mind, and he could marry someone else with peace of mind. He admitted that when Yu Jing said that he wanted to marry Yu Nianxu to him, the film that sealed this relationship in his heart collapsed, and he was willing, he was willing to marry her.

But he also knew that the person who lived in Yu Nian's heart was not him, if he agreed to Yu Jing, Yu Nian would probably do something stupid when he knew it, such as forcing him to die and ask to push off this family business; For example, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake silently to find Xue Ling. Her temperament is somewhat similar to Xue Wu, some things are unwilling to do, and she is unwilling to die.

In a small corner of the street, far from the noise, the black robe leaned against the wall, holding a small mirror with great interest, and caressing his two beards. Apparently he was very happy with his two mustaches, and he did not take them off even after the acting was over.

"Mortal stuff is kind of fun."

Yu Jing, who was hurrying, glanced left and right at the entrance of the alley, and after making sure that there was no one, he turned in and came to the black robe: "Demon Venerable? ”

"How's it going?"

"Alas, this Xue Qi doesn't seem to be the little hairy boy back then, I mentioned to him about marrying me, and he refused." Yu Jing looked difficult, waiting for Nan Lichuan to give him an idea.

Nan Lichuan put away the small mirror, and then he was willing to look over: "What a fool, I have helped you to this point and have not succeeded." But fortunately, the third lady of the Xue family is already in my bag. ”

"What do you mean?"

Stroking his fake beard, Nan Lichuan smiled evilly.

It turned out that when the suspensory silk was diagnosing the pulse, Nan Lichuan gave Xue Wu a spell, as long as Nan Lichuan moved his thoughts, Xue Wu would be like a marionette and let him control it. This time, he escaped the ban of Xue Mansion and entered Xue Mansion, and successfully cursed Xue Wu, and he had to thank Yu Jing well.

After the end of the Immortal and Demon War thousands of years ago, Nan Lichuan has been staying in the southern city of the human realm. Everyone knows that the world has a relationship with the immortal family, and the Xue family must be the first. So Nan Lichuan is waiting here, waiting for the light to come. You must know that Nan Lichuan is a demon who can't stand loneliness, and after waiting for almost two or three years, he didn't see the light, so he called Xuan Jin to go to another place together.

It was just like this that he came up with an idea. If Shaoguang came back by then, he would definitely have to look for his weapons and fairy bones, so when they came to the Canghai on the border of Beicheng, Nan Lichuan looked at the deserted island in the middle of the Canghai, and threw the ruthless hammer and stabbed it into the desert island.

I didn't want this thorn, this desert island screamed, lowered my head to take a closer look, Nan Lichuan was overjoyed, isn't this the water demon that leveled the Jade City back then? So together with Xuan Jin, he broke the shackles around his body and unsealed it. Thinking that maybe it would be used in the future, he left the water demon in the sea.

Then, he met the Northern Wilderness Wolf Clan and gathered a lot of demon troops.

It wasn't until five years ago that he came to the Barbarian Frontier and met Yu Jing, who was not in business at that time, and accidentally found that he had bought a bottle of Gu poison from a witch doctor who made poison. At that time, Nan Lichuan was also idle, so he went over to see it.

Yu Jing brought a face towel, dropped a drop of the Gu poison in his hand in the hot water, and took the letter paper with dense characters written in the maid's hand and steamed it on top of the hot water, waited until the water was cold and the smoke dissipated, and hurriedly stuffed the letter paper into the envelope, sealed it and handed it to the messenger.

Nan Lichuan naturally didn't understand the series of actions of this mortal, and waited for the dead of night to transform into Yu Jing's tent. At that time, Yu Jing was washing, and when he turned his head and found that there was a person on the chair behind him, he was so frightened that the basin fell to the ground, and he collapsed on the ground for a long time without getting up. With trembling hands, he worshiped Buddha and worshiped Nan Lichuan, and muttered in his mouth, "Pray for the grace of Shenyin, I won't dare next time, and I won't dare again." ”

Nan Lichuan felt more and more interesting: "What don't you dare? ”

"I ...... I'm not going to poison anymore, I'm not going to hurt anyone anymore...... I'm guilty, guilty......"

It turned out that he had done something bad and was afraid that the ghost would knock on the door. Nan Lichuan quietly came to Yu Jing, Yu Jing didn't see how he came over, and when he reacted, he was already squatting in front of him, and subconsciously retreated.

"Tell me, how are you guilty?"

Yu Jing had a ghost in his heart, so he naturally got out of it all in one hundred and fifty ten. It turned out that the letter was sent to the Xue Mansion in Nancheng and was in charge of the Xue family. This Gu poison is a chronic poison, colorless and tasteless, and a small amount will not cause death, but as long as the poison is smeared on the letter paper every time, it will cause damage to people's internal organs for a long time, and it is difficult to heal, but if the amount is too much, it will cause death.

Yu Jing said that his business in the barbarian territory was really untenable, thinking that his daughter and the head of the Xue family still had a marriage contract, and when the time came, he would go back empty-handed for fear that the world would say that he was high. So he kept doing things into the letter paper sent by his daughter, so that Xue Zhangshi was half dead. When the time comes, I will go back and spend money to hire someone to pretend to be a barbarian witch doctor and pretend to be a doctor, which is half a waste of Xue Zhang's business, and marrying his daughter to the dark side is also passable. If there is another doll in the future, you can enjoy the Xue family's property, and you don't have to be as bitter as now.

Nan Lichuan boasted that Yu Jing had made a good calculation. He has been wandering around Beicheng for many years, and he hasn't learned about the situation in Nancheng Xue Mansion for a long time. According to Yu Jing, the Xue family has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is now in charge and has a good reputation, the second son is not talented, and the younger daughter is weak. So Nan Lichuan proposed to let Yu Jing increase the dose to poison Xue Ling, he had been waiting long enough, not to mention that recently he sometimes heard that there was a mortal named Hua Wuji who was becoming famous in the human world, and he loved to fiddle with butterflies, and he guessed in his heart that nine times out of ten he would shake it out.

If Xue Zhangshi died, maybe he would come uninvited.

Originally, Yu Jing didn't dare, but when Nan Lichuan proposed that he could make Yu Jing rich, Yu Jing agreed without saying a word.

Later, when Nan Lichuan saw Yu Jing again was two months ago, when Nan Lichuan had just returned to Nancheng from elsewhere, and there had been no news of Xue Ling's death on the rivers and lakes, so he came back to ask.

Who wants to be respectful and not fight in one place, saying that this Xue Ling is living well, alive and well, and also withdrawing his daughter's marriage.

Nan Lichuan sent Xuan Jin to investigate, but due to the prohibition around the Xue Mansion, the demons could not enter, so they bought a mortal who looked more refined to investigate, but he had no clue at all.

One night after that, the mortal who was bought off stunned all the guards in the mansion and sneaked into the Xue Mansion with Xuan Jin. After Xuan Jin entangled with Xue Ling for a few moves, he found that his tricks were very familiar, and when he guessed, he took out the Gu worm he took from Yu Jing in his arms and rushed to attack Xue Ling's left foot.

Sure enough, his weakness was his left foot. This also confirmed Xuan Jin's conjecture, this person was dressed as Shaoguang, and when he was unprepared, he took advantage of the situation to beat the Gu worm into his body and broke the window.

When the mortal came to Xuan Jin again to ask for money, Xuan Jin killed him.

Coupled with the fact that Hua Wuji was the murderer of Xue Ling this time, Nan Lichuan really wanted to tell him in front of Hua Wuji that he instructed Yu Jing to do this.

Now, Xue Wu is already under the control of Nan Lichuan, just waiting for the shaking light to throw himself into the net, and Nan Lichuan is waiting, waiting to play with the shaking light between applause.
