The young man smiled, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
He has such a nice smile. The little girl thought to herself.
The young man leaned forward slowly, and the smile on his lips suddenly became a little evil.
"I never teach others," he said. "If others want to get something from me, they must pay for it with their lives."
In exchange for your life? There was a flash of confusion in the little girl's eyes, but it soon turned into determination.
"Okay. Then I'll pay for it with my life."
…
It was past midnight. Chen Ze and Counselor Zhu, who had been guarding for two days, were getting older and couldn't hold on anymore. They asked Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang to pay attention to the young master, and they went back to rest.
Yao Erlang stood at the door and saw with his own eyes that the lights in Chen Ze's room went out, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Chen's temper has been really bad these past two days. It's really scary to train them after training the young master.
In the past, Uncle Chen often slapped the Marquis on the table, but he was still kind to the young master.
Now even the young master is not immune.
Yao Erlang guarded the door, and Zhu Sanlang reported the situation outside to the young master in a low voice: "Mrs. Qin went to Baoxiang Temple and returned home in a sedan chair. After Mrs. Qin returned, the foot shop hired a medical worker. Before the subordinate came back, Nangong Wenyue also went to the foot shop, but she came out soon."
Mu Ting was half lying down, his face looking much better than before.
"What happened in Baoxiang Temple?" he asked.
Zhu Sanlang looked a little ashamed: "Young Master, my subordinates saw someone guarding outside the dormitory, so they didn't climb over the wall to see."
"Well, since she's fine, I'm relieved." Mu Ting closed his eyes tiredly, "I'm fine. You can go out and rest."
How can that work... Zhu Sanlang and Yao Erlang were about to speak when they heard Mu Ting say: "Why, you don't even listen to me?"
The two had to go out, closed the door, and looked at each other at the door for a moment, then heard Mu Ting say, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
The two of them went back to the room in a murmuring manner. When they entered the door, Zhu Sanlang said, "I have to go to the hut."
Yao Erlang didn't care: "Go early and come back early."
Zhu Sanlang went to the hut first, and when he came back, he turned around and entered the room of his father, Counselor Zhu.
Counselor Zhu was not asleep yet, just leaning on the bedside, as if waiting for his son.
Zhu Sanlang closed the door and told his father about Baoxiang Temple in a low voice.
Counselor Zhu nodded: "It saves the trouble for my father. Just go back as soon as possible. By the way, your uncle Chen must not let you know about the young master asking you to protect Mrs. Qin."
"That's natural." Zhu Sanlang said, "What's wrong with Uncle Chen these past two days? He has such a bad temper?"
"What else can you do? You, Uncle Chen, are only for the good of the young master and want the young master to have a good marriage, but the young master doesn't appreciate it. He has too many thoughts about Madam Qin. If the young mistress comes to the door in the future, This young lady is so small-minded, how can she tolerate her husband having other young ladies in his heart?"
Zhu Sanlang was stunned for a while.
Counselor Zhu said: "You are young and have not yet been married, so it is normal for you not to care about the inner world."
"But Mrs. Qin is not bad." Zhu Sanlang blurted out. He is not like Uncle Chen, who has so many twists and turns in his mind. If you meet someone you like, if they are in love with each other, they will naturally stay together for the rest of their lives.
Counselor Zhu glared at his son with hatred: "There is no way Mrs. Qin will become the young mistress! Go back to your room quickly and don't hang out in front of me."
Hey, hey, he's obviously not stupid, but why did he give birth to a son with such a dull mind?
After a while, the courtyard finally became quiet.
Half an hour later, a black figure quickly climbed over the wall and left quietly.
In the Qin family restaurant, Hongxiu stayed up for half the night, and her eyes were red.
Mrs. Wang was too old to stay up late, so she fell asleep while sitting on the stool and almost fell. Hongxiu drove her back: "I'm still here."
Tian Xiang also wanted to help, but she also drove her back: "The restaurant will be open as usual tomorrow, but you have to go to bed early."
She has to support the restaurant for the eldest lady.
It was quiet outside.
Everyone was tired and fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillows.
Hong Xiu was also a little tired, and when she touched the eldest lady's forehead, it seemed that it was no longer so hot. She felt relieved, leaned over and sat on the footrest in front of the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
When Qin Xiangxiang woke up from thirst, she wanted to ask Hong Xiu to bring her some water. Seeing the tired look on Hong Xiu's face, she finally couldn't bear it, so she thought about moving her body and reaching for the kettle on the table. However, this movement caused excruciating pain all over his body.
Hongxiu slept deeply.
Qin Xiangxiang stretched out his hands hard, but his back was painful, but he still couldn't reach the kettle.
She was so useless... She actually let that guy Li Wanzhou take Mother Xu and Brother Ji as hostages... Qin Xiang thought about it, her nose became sour, and tears fell down.
When Mu Ting opened the door and came in, he saw this scene.
Mrs. Qin lay on the bed, wiping her tears silently. Weak, helpless, and pitiful.
His heart suddenly hurt, as if an enemy had stabbed a hole with a knife.
He took two quick steps, picked up the kettle, and poured the water into the wooden bowl.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at him in surprise, with red eyes and unwiped tears on his cheeks.
Mu Ting resisted the urge to wipe her tears and handed the wooden bowl to her mouth.
He was so thirsty that Qin Xiangxiang drank all the water in one breath without caring about how Mu Ting came in.
"Do you still want to drink?" Mu Ting lowered his voice and asked her.
Qin Xiangxiang shook his head and looked at him with bright eyes, as if asking him why he appeared here. Is his injury healed?
Mu Ting knelt down and looked at her, his voice still low: "Who hurt you?"
Qin Xiangxiang smiled bitterly and wriggled his lips: "You shouldn't have come."
Chen Ze will be angry.
Mu Ting didn't know whether he heard or understood, but he still asked stubbornly: "Who hurt you?"
Qin Xiangxiang turned his head and didn't look at him. She has not forgotten that when she was wrongly accused by Chen Ze yesterday, he didn't say a word. She is petty but very vindictive.
Mu Ting seemed to remember this and whispered: "It was my fault last night. It won't happen again."
What won't happen in the future? Is it possible that she will be wronged by Chen Ze again? Moreover, her throat was so sore and she was so weak that she couldn't say a word. If he forced her to speak, didn't he have any eyesight?
Qin Xiangxiang stubbornly refused to turn his head.
Mu Ting sighed and took out a tiny sachet from his sleeve: "If... your injury worsens, just take one of the elixirs in the sachet. Of course, I hope you don't need it." superior."
He placed the bag of tips next to the teapot.
"I'm leaving, you can recover well." He said, got up and walked out.
Qin Xiangxiang never turned around to take a look.
The surroundings were calm again.
Qin Xiangxiang was motionless, as if he was asleep.
After a long time, Hong Xiu, who was sitting aside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows, she woke up just when Prince Mu was talking to the eldest lady. But he didn't dare to move, so he could only continue to pretend to sleep.
The tone of Mu Shizi's words sounded a bit...well, different.
But here comes the question, I asked Yue Langjun, who has a soft mouth and a soft heart, and Prince Mu is as gentle as water. How should the eldest lady choose?
