Chapter Twenty-Three: Here It Comes
The masked man jumped down from the beam and handed the two green jade jars in his hand to King Chen.
"She asked me to fetch these two things, and I never touched them."
"What is this?" King Chen took the jar, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. - Green jade jar, this is a container that only top-notch medicine can have!
Of course, he had seen a lot of medicines of this level, but the girl in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she could have two bottles of medicine in a green jade jar!
Although he is angry, he also cherishes his talents.
He immediately decided that he would spare the girl's life, whether or not he could cure his old illness.
"It's a good medicine for King Chen's old diseases, King Chen can smell it."
King Chen opened the jar, and a refreshing fragrance instantly spread outward along the mouth of the jar, which made people feel refreshed and relaxed.
He really felt that his brain was light, and the previous headache was also relieved a lot.
Cao Zhijin explained: "When the little woman saw that King Chen's face was pale and her eyebrows were deep, it must have been a headache, and she couldn't sleep at night, causing her to be in good spirits. These are two jars of soothing medicine. ”
She was secretly glad in her heart, since the pianist Xue Hong left, she couldn't sleep all night, and these two cans of medicine were prepared by her to treat all kinds of insomnia.
King Chen put away the medicine, looked at Cao Zhijin and said: "Little girl, if you want to become famous in the future, go to Shangcheng Chenwangfu to find this king, this is a token." ”
He threw a jade plaque to the masked man and turned to leave the room.
The masked man squatted down, inserted the jade plaque into Cao Zhijin's belt, and left the room.
……
When it was dusk, King Chen left, and the family members who had been on vacation came back one after another, but there was no trace of sadness in the house.
Jiang Lianyi looked at the flower branches that had been cut off by Qiu'er three days ago, and he didn't know when two branches grew from the side and two flower bones were formed.
This kind of flower is good to live.
"Auntie, why hasn't there been any movement in the house?" Qiu'er asked.
"Quite simply, our plan failed, and she didn't die." Jiang Lianyi said calmly.
"She actually survived under the hands of King Chen!" Qiu'er was shocked.
"Maybe yes. Maybe she was lucky and didn't meet King Chen at all. Go and let Cao Yuan go. ”
"Auntie, if Cao Yuan goes back and talks nonsense and lets Gongzi know, then you ......" Qiu'er said worriedly.
Jiang Lianyi smiled confidently: "There is a tiring feeling in this world called thinking about others. If Cao Yuan cared about Cao Zhijin, he would only say nothing about today's incident, because he didn't want to cause her trouble. Go and let him go. ”
Qiu'er nodded.
……
Ah Yuan ran back to the Lotus Garden in a panic, and was relieved to see Cao Zhijin sitting in the house safe and sound.
"Where did you go?" Cao Zhijin asked angrily.
"Ripple Garden, Aunt Jiang, please drink tea."
Cao Zhijin nodded and didn't ask again.
The two of them tacitly knew that they had been deceived by Jiang Lianyi, but this matter could not be known to Qiying, otherwise there would be complications.
Qi Ying was still shocked, and she didn't notice the two of them at all.
Thinking carefully about the scenes that happened today, he was afraid.
If she died, he would be guilty for the rest of his life!
"It's all because I didn't tell you in advance that I put you in danger." He said guiltily.
"I don't blame you, I don't usually go out often, and today I feel bored and panicked, so I will go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet King Chen." Although she hated what he did, she had to admit that it was he who generously gave her many precious medicinal materials to save her life today!
"King Chen, is it the King of Chen who makes people cry when they hear the name? He's here? What about people? Ah Yuan shouted, and hid behind Cao Zhijin in fear.
"It's gone." Qi Ying looked at Cao Zhijin for a while, and said a little shyly, "You are injured today, I don't worry, can you let me accompany you here?" ”
Cao Zhijin didn't have time to speak, Ah Yuan snorted coldly and blocked between the two: "What to accompany, the cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion!" If you hadn't trapped Tapestry here, how could she have been hurt? Get lost! ”
Qi Ying didn't look good on her face, but she didn't say anything about Ah Yuan's words. It was true that he hurt her, but even so, I was reluctant to let go.
He took a deep look at Cao Zhijin and got up to leave.
As soon as he left the Lotus Garden, a family member rushed over and dragged him to run.
"Childe, hurry up, the master has something urgent to wait for you in the front hall!"
"What the hell is going on?" I don't know why, he felt very uneasy in his heart, and this uneasy feeling was even worse than when he learned that King Chen was coming to the house!
"The master said that the son will know when he goes."
Qi Ying came to the front hall and saw the person sitting in the guest, and his footsteps suddenly froze. - That's it, the brocade minister!
Although he had not seen him, he had his portrait in his possession.
He himself is more handsome than the portrait, and the few strokes of the sketch cannot show his cold eyes and elegant temperament at all.
He was shocked in his heart: how could such a person be an ordinary person!
He sensed that something was wrong, that something was about to be lost, and he immediately turned around and left.
Qibi immediately stopped him: "Ying'er, why don't you see the guest?" ”
Qi Ying walked in hard.
I don't know if it's too sunny outside, as soon as he walked into the hall, he suddenly felt extremely cool, no, it was cold.
"Ying'er, he is Miss Cao's father-in-law, Chen Gongzi, see you soon!" Qi will pull him in front of Chen Fansheng, and he is a little too attentive.
"Father, what's wrong?" Qi Bi knew that Qi Ying would be angry when she saw Chen Fansheng, her face stiffened, and she glanced at Chen Fansheng.
This young man is really not an ordinary person, I thought that he had reached this age, and he had never seen anything, but he didn't expect this young man to break into the county mansion alone, but his face did not change from beginning to end, not only did his complexion not change, but he did not even have obvious fluctuations in his emotions.
This is the first junior he has met who can't see through!
If he can't see through him, it's just a situation. - His every move is under his control!
The wisest thing to do when you meet such a person is to be open and honest.
He pulled Qi Ying aside and handed him a crumpled stack of papers from his sleeve.
"What is this?" Qi Ying opened it and looked at it.
"This is your confession that you lost your hand and hurt people in the market that day. A total of 100 confessions! ”
"Father, you said it at the beginning...... Qi Ying didn't look at it, returned the confession to Qi Bi, and said in a low voice, "You said that if you let Cao Geng see the brocade, you will get us into trouble!" ”
"It's a different time!" Qi Bi quietly glanced at Chen Fansheng, and also lowered his voice and said, "Look at the date on this confession, why do you think he chose to come to the house today?" That's because of King Chen! ”
"If King Chen knows about this, even if my father goes bankrupt, he won't be able to protect you, Ying'er!"
Qi Ying shook her head and said stubbornly: "This must be a coincidence!" ”
