Chapter 21: Ji Zheng is not a good person
Qiao Ling lived in the Ji family in the name of helping Yelan recuperate, and repeatedly promised that he would protect himself and would never get too close to Ji Zheng, so Qiao Hansheng reluctantly agreed.
She hasn't gotten engaged to leave the pavilion yet, so Ji Xun asked someone to help her clean up a bedroom, which is very close to Yelan's room and can be easily taken care of.
Yelan didn't want others to know about her miscarriage, but Qiao Ling finally helped her hide it, only saying that her body was delicate and Gong Han was too heavy, and she needed to recuperate.
Ji Xun didn't notice anything about Yelan's pregnancy, so he didn't doubt what Qiao Ling said.
After being kicked out of the room by Old Man Ji, Qiao Ling was originally very worried about Ji Zheng, but when he saw Zhang Xu and knew that he and Ji Zheng were in the same group, he went to look at the stove with a heart to boil medicine for Yelan.
The medicine stove was not big, and it boiled quickly, so she returned some firewood and came out to change it to a low fire and boil it slowly.
The medicinal juice was gurgling and boiling, and the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance overflowed, Qiao Ling held his chin and began to wander, remembering the black shadow holding the dagger in the passage behind the stage of Lanxiang Pavilion yesterday.
She remembered that the man was tall, but not strong, and even a little weak, which made her feel a little familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
She was a little uneasy, Ji Zheng had offended too many people in Hengcheng at the beginning, and Qiao Ling felt that many people might want his life.
He was still so badly injured that he didn't know when he would get better......
Thinking divergently, Qiao Ling thought a little far, and suddenly a shadow was cast over her head, and Ji Zheng didn't know when she would walk in front of her.
He changed into the same military uniform as Zhang Xu, she squatted and stood with him, his figure turned into a mountain in front of her, and he seemed to carry a mighty righteousness on his shoulders, no longer the ruthless and gloomy man he was at the beginning.
Qiao Ling looked up and looked at it, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Ji Zheng took out a pair of black leather gloves from his pocket and threw them to her: "I'm going to go out, don't boil the medicine first, it's cold outside, go back to my room to play." β
He thought she had nowhere to go, so he squatted here to help him make medicine.
"No, it's for Sister Lan......"
Qiao Ling wanted to explain, but Ji Zheng didn't want to hear anything related to Yelan at all, so he interrupted directly: "I don't know when I'll come back, you remember to eat yourself." β
After saying that, he felt uneasy, so he took off the Browning and stuffed it into Qiao Ling's hand.
"Take this, if anyone dares to bully you, they will shoot him, and I will support him if he is dead or disabled!"
Browning put it in the holster, although it was close to his waist, it was still cold in his hand, Qiao Ling's fingertips curled up, instinctively resisting, but Ji Zheng hugged her body, grabbed her hand, loaded it neatly, pulled the safe, and raised his hand to shoot at the pillar of the corridor from the front hall to the backyard.
Boom!
A loud bang exploded in his ears, and the powerful recoil shook Qiao Ling's entire right arm numb, and smoke came out of the muzzle.
"What's the situation? Who's putting the guns? β
Seven or eight guards came over with guns, Ji Zheng let go of Qiao Ling's hand and patted her on the shoulder: "I said, with me, you can walk sideways in the entire Hengcheng, and the same is true in the Ji family!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Ling's ears were buzzing, and he only felt that his voice seemed to be floating from a long distance.
He was really more arrogant than two years ago, just now Old Man Ji was unkind to Qiao Ling and asked her to go out, he turned his head and fired a shot at the Ji family, strong and domineering to let her run rampant in the Ji family.
"It's nothing, our deputy marshal is teaching his wife to use a gun, let's disperse."
Zhang Xu said to the guards who came around, his tone was familiar, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.
Several courtyards looked at each other, consciously unable to provoke the big Buddha of Ershao, so they scattered and went to each courtyard to report the news, so as not to disturb the master.
When the others dispersed, Ji Zheng turned around to go out, Qiao Ling finally came back to his senses and subconsciously grabbed Ji Zheng's sleeve.
She was well protected by Qiao Hansheng, she didn't suffer much, her hands were tender and fair, slender and good-looking, holding the sleeves of her cold and hard military uniform, very weak and innocent.
Ji Zheng turned to look at her, thinking that she was afraid, and couldn't help but let go of his voice: "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't open the insurance, the gun won't go off." β
Qiao Ling shook his head, looked up at him, his moist eyes were full of worry: "Second brother, this is given to me, what should you do?" β
He had wounds and a fever, and if he was in any danger......
The more Qiao Ling thought about it, the more worried he became, and he bit his lip, tears were about to fall.
She is like this, not to mention Ji Zheng, even Zhang Xu, who is standing next to her, looks at her heart and is about to melt.
, should this delicate little girl be so gentle and considerate? The feng shui of the ancestral tomb of the deputy marshal's family is also too good!
"If you keep it, keep it, Lao Tzu has thick skin and rough meat, and he will carry it!"
Ji Zheng said nonchalantly, retracted his sleeve, raised his hand and gave Zhang Xu a violent slap: "Look at what, you dare to look at Lao Tzu's people, you don't want your eyes anymore!" β
Zhang Xu hurriedly retracted his gaze, waved his hands, and the two of them lined up, followed Ji Zheng in unison and walked out, flattering in his mouth: "Deputy marshal, are the girls in Hengcheng so smart?" I also want to have a daughter-in-law. β
"Get out!"
Turning the corner, the figures of the two disappeared.
Only the gun was left, and it was heavy in his hand, and he couldn't cover it warmly.
Qiao Ling stood for a while, stuffed the gun into his arms and carried it, and waited for the medicine to boil and cool down a little before bringing it to Yelan.
The Ji family has a big business, and there are many people who serve up and down, but because of Yelan's background, the Ji family doesn't pay much attention to her as the eldest daughter-in-law, and there is only one Lanxi who accompanied her in the Lanxiang Pavilion opera troupe at the beginning.
Lan Xi was two years younger than Qiao Ling, with two pigtails, standing at the door obediently and skillfully, and when she saw Qiao Ling, she immediately smiled and browled: "Sister Ling'er!" β
She has a lively temperament, she has a round baby face, she is cute and bright when she laughs, Qiao Ling also laughed, looked at the closed door, and lowered her voice: "How is Sister Lan?" β
"Yesterday was sent back by the eldest young master in person, and I have taken two pairs of medicine, but I just can't keep up my spirits, and I fell asleep again after breakfast today, I was afraid that she would be cold, so I poured two warm pots and put them in the quilt."
Lan Xi has been with Yelan for many years, but she is young and doesn't know so much, so she really takes care of Yelan as an irregular period.
"I'll go in and see her, or the medicine will be cold in a while."
Lan Xi pushed open the door and helped Qiao Ling lift the curtain.
The weather was still very cold, the curtains were heavy, and when they were put down, they almost blocked the light outside, and the room was dull and a little depressing.
Qiao Ling walked to the bed with the medicine, Yelan was still asleep, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Qiao Ling wiped it with a handkerchief for her, touching the cold cold.
Lanxi covered her with two quilts, why is it still so cold?
Qiao Ling frowned, a little worried, and was about to grab Yelan's hand to check the pulse, Yelan opened her eyes without warning.
She wasn't fully awake yet, but the moment her eyes opened, it was all wariness.
Qiao Ling was startled, and hurriedly spoke: "Sister Lan, it's me, the medicine is boiled." β
Seeing her face clearly, the vigilance in Yelan's eyes dissipated a little, sat up with her body propped up, leaned against the head of the bed, raised her sweaty hand and took the bowl of medicine and drank it all.
She drank so neatly, but she was inexplicably similar to Ji Zheng.
When she finished drinking, Qiao Ling handed the hawthorn over, and Yelan only glanced at it and waved it away: "Don't want this, naΓ―ve!" β
"It will feel better to eat this, and the second brother will also eat ......"
"Don't say it, be nosy!"
Yelan lost her temper, and as soon as her hand was released, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, not broken, and rolled far away.
Qiao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded in a low voice: "You may not have much appetite in the past two days, eat some of this, and you can recover faster." β
If she didn't want to be discovered by others, she should listen to Qiao Ling.
But at this time, Yelan is emotionally unstable, and he can't control himself.
She slapped the hawthorn off Qiao Ling's hand, and her face swelled with anger: "Did you tell Ji Zheng about me?" Isn't he happy to know what I'm like now? β
"No, I didn't tell my second brother."
If he knows that you are like this, he will only feel distressed and will not be happy.
Qiao Ling said in his heart, Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, and his expression became crazy: "Why didn't you tell him?" Aren't you afraid of him ......?"
What are you afraid of him?
Yelan didn't finish speaking, she seemed to be suddenly choked by something, and she couldn't spit out the next words, but her eyes gradually turned red.
"It's Sister Lan, you won't let me tell others."
Qiao Ling couldn't help but explain, Yelan shook his head, relaxed his body and leaned against the head of the bed, the expression on his face gradually converged, returning to his usual coldness.
"I just heard a gunshot, what happened?"
Yelan changed the topic, her voice was a little hoarse, and she had the unique sexy and sultry nature of a mature woman, but she was not wearing makeup now, her face was pale, and she was too sickly.
Qiao Ling wouldn't lie, and replied honestly: "Second brother is teaching me how to shoot." β
obviously wanted to change the topic, but in the end, it went back to Ji Zheng.
Yelan lifted his eyes and looked at Qiao Ling, the corners of his lips hooked up a little mockery, and his tone was controlled carelessly: "Qiao Hansheng looks at you so tightly and protects you so strictly, he is good, he will let you play with the gun as soon as he comes back, and he is not afraid that Qiao Hansheng will know to peel off a layer of his skin!" β
In Hengcheng, the girl's family doesn't say that it touches the gun, but touches the pen, which is a violation of customs.
Qiao Ling was embarrassed, and didn't know how to argue for Ji Zheng, so he only lowered his head sullenly, like a child who had done something wrong.
She hasn't changed in the past two years, which makes Yelan have the illusion of going back in time and space, as if Ji Zheng has never left, she is still the pillar of Lanxiang Pavilion, she takes off her makeup after getting off the stage, and she can laugh with Ji Zheng unscrupulously, and softly call him 'Ah Zheng'.
The memories were too vivid and beautiful, and Yelan unconsciously reached out and touched Qiao Ling's head.
Her hair was soft and smooth, and she had only been tied up briefly, and her touch was soft, like some kind of gentle and harmless little animal, and it felt really good.
Yelan's heart softened, and it was rare that he was no longer as indifferent as before, and said a word of advice to Qiao Ling: "Ji Zheng is not a good person, Qiao Ling, you'd better stay away from him!" β
