Chapter 99: Betrayal
The clouds accumulated in the sky, the fragrance of lotus flowers wafted in the wind, and the drizzle fell obliquely into the pond, ticking on the bluestone slabs. The rain in early summer was not cold but cool, Ji Qingyuan looked up at the gray sky, and the dense rain hit her face.
Attack him. She has finally come to this point, and of course she knows what it means for a person who practices martial arts to abolish his martial arts.
But in order to rescue Qingzhu's mother, she can only choose to attack him, and she will repay what she owes him in another way. It's almost over, their time as husband and wife is short, and this day will always come, what she has to do is to think of a way out for herself instead of escaping.
Ji Qingyuan walked through the pond and walked through the flower corridor, but there were no servants along the way, and the empty road showed a lonely coldness for a while. It doesn't matter if no one comes to break her world, maybe she can close it in her turtle shell for a while.
"Miss?" Qingzhu passed by with an oil-paper umbrella, and saw Ji Qingyuan running forward to cover the rain alone.
"Why are you here? Who's looking for me? Ji Qingyuan looked at the water droplets dripping from the side of the fan and asked. Qingzhu leaned the umbrella to Ji Qingyuan's side, and he wet half of his shoulder, "Qingzhu was about to go to the kitchen to find his mother, and when he saw that Miss was in the rain, he was afraid that Miss would catch the cold, so he came to pick up Miss, and no one was looking for you." β
"It's good that no one is looking for me." Ji Qingyuan stared at the white shoes soiled by the sewage, and still stepped into the water.
"Why is Miss upset? What did he say, sir? Qingzhu has been by Ji Qingyuan's side for several months, and she can't tell her character clearly, but most of them can guess that she is so depressed, and Ji Xiang has always forced her to make decisions.
"I found a chance to rescue your mother." Ji Qingyuan turned to look at Qingzhu, but the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.
Qingzhu was not too surprised, she had been working under Ji Xiang for many years, how much did she know what his temper was, "Is it related to the young city lord?" β
"Hmm." was seen through by Qingzhu, and Ji Qingyuan didn't intend to hide it, "Ji Xiang let me choose by myself, as long as he takes the Sangong pill, your mother can go with us." An old fox is an old fox, and if you pay a little, you want a bigger one. β
"And what are you going to do, Miss? I really want to ......" the second half of Qingzhu's sentence was not in the sound of rain.
"What else, I will help Ji Xiang this time, I won't help him next time, and I will hand it over to Baili Lian when I find the talisman, and I will pay him back." Ji Qingyuan took Qingzhu's arm and took a deep breath, "Why don't we think about it, where are we going to go after leaving Lancheng, go to Jiangcheng or other cities, or go to foreign tribes?" In short, the farther away from Arashijo the better. β
"Miss is willing to give up the young city lord? Qingzhu could see that the young city lord was not all fake to the young lady. β
"What about you, are you willing to give up the phoenix, you are willing to give up, what can I not give up, no matter how deep the feelings are, it's like that, people's lives are very long, and they won't love only one person."
Ji Qingyuan rarely spoke seriously, but who knew that Qingzhu covered his mouth and shook his head and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Ji Qingkite is inexplicable.
"Suddenly I feel that the young lady has grown up."
"Was I naΓ―ve before? I'm simple, women keep a simple heart will age slowly, you have to remember. β
"Qingzhu remembered." Qingzhu nodded, "Miss, the kitchen has arrived." β
"Let's go in and meet our mother."
In another hour, dinner will arrive, and the kitchen of Ji Mansion is already preparing, and the table is full of vegetables and meat. On weekdays, it is rich enough, and when Baili Lian comes, it will be more hearty to add dishes, and Gao Shi will help people on the side, and the kitchen is not too busy.
"Mother." The subordinates were all there, and Ji Qingyuan was not too intimate to stand behind Qingzhu with a smile.
"Why is Miss here, you girl, now the kitchen is smoky, don't take Miss out yet, lest Miss be uncomfortable." Gao said reproachfully with a straight face.
"Don't blame her, I'm here myself, and I'm not so squeamish."
"Is Miss hungry? There are still some pastries in the kitchen, and I will go and get them for the young lady. Gao patted his apron and went to the steamer to take out the peach blossom cake.
Ji Qingyuan approached Qingzhu and whispered, "I'm so embarrassed that my mother is like this, so I came to the kitchen to see that she was just hungry." β
"Isn't it? Miss said she was hungry every time she came back, so that her mother was afraid that she would not have anything to eat when she came to prepare every day. β
"Shut up, shut up, shut up." She only eats a little every day, so she naturally gets hungry, eats less and eats more, and she doesn't see herself anymore.
"Eat it while it's hot." Gao took out a plate of peach blossom cakes with cotton cloth, and the patterns printed on the cake were printed with molds, with branches, tender grass, and villains, and finally sprinkled peach blossom petals on the surface, which looked very appetizing.
"I'll want to cook a dish later." Ji Qingyuan looked around the kitchen.
Gao said lovingly: "I'll do whatever Miss wants to eat." β
"I want to do it myself." The head shook like a rattle.
Qingzhu approached Gao's and said, "Mother, Miss, this dish is specially made for the young city lord, and it is sincere to do it yourself." β
"That's right. Then I'll tell them later, I'll empty a pot for Miss, and I'll prepare the ingredients for Miss to do. β
"Forehead ......" Ji Qingyuan embarrassedly supported the side of his neck, "Or, half a chicken, tofu, green vegetables, fungus, garlic, chili, that's all." β
"Okay, Miss, wait a minute."
Qingzhu still remembers the last time Ji Qingyuan cooked at the Haunting Inn, or Liang Tianmo taught her by the side, why did she cook by herself today, "What is Miss going to do?" β
"Make something I like to eat, but I guess I'll fail a lot of times." The first time she didn't do it, this time she would personally serve him the poison.
"With my mother's presence, the dishes made by Miss will not be too ugly."
"Well, you wait for me here, I'll go get something." Ji Qingyuan thought of the medicine at the bottom of the box, how could he be without it.
"Okay." Qingzhu smiled after Ji Qingyuan left, she was very good to herself, as a slave, she never expected her master to be good to her. The young city lord is her husband, and she is just her servant, she must feel bad for betraying the young city lord for herself.
"What did Ji Xiang give her?" After Baili Lian finished bathing, he didn't see Ji Qingyuan, just as Fengyu and Huangxiao came to him with heavy faces, when Ji Qingyuan asked the two to leave, the two of them left together, but became a gentleman on the beam once.
"Sangong Pill." Huang Xiao Road.
"Sangong pills? Where did Ji Xiang get it, I have only seen this medicine from the master, and the effect is temporary. β
Feng Yujiao sneered: "I'm afraid that Ji Xiang deceived the young lady, it is not a scattering pill." β
The rain fell into the lake, drawing countless circles, swinging out layer by layer, and after being silent for a long time, Baili Lian opened his mouth and asked, "She agreed?" There was no joy or anger in the words.
Huang Xiao glanced at Feng Yu and motioned to him, Feng Yu glanced at him, "Well, it's only because Ji Xiang is coerced by Qingzhu Niang that the young lady is ......."
"If you say yes, you say yes, it doesn't matter what the reason is." Baili Lian waved his hand to stop Feng Yu's words. Since she chose to betray him, then he will not show mercy.
"What is the young city lord going to do?" The question in the heart of the phoenix owl blurted out.
"I can't drink the poison she gave me personally." Baili Lian rested on the stone pillar with one hand, and his eyes were as deep as a blade.
