Wen Jin's advice only made Jiang Shuo more curious about Master Que.
After he resigned and left the palace, he ordered people to inquire about Master Que.
No matter whether the "admiration" results or not, he wants to get to know her!
Even the busy Jiang Qian found that after going to the palace, his eldest brother seemed to be a different person.
It is no longer as lifeless as before.
He also started to be busy, eating more, talking more, and picked up the habit of getting up early to practice again.
"It's really amazing!" Jiang Qian said to herself, "What wonderful medical skills does the Queen have? Can she even cure heart diseases?
"When I have time, I must go to the palace and consult with the empress!"
Before Jiang Qian had time to find Wen Jin for advice.
The person who helped her brother recover from his illness has already arrived!
Master Que came at night.
Silently, he entered Jiang Shuo's room.
Jiang Shuo was also a vigilant person, and when there was someone else in the room, he woke up immediately.
He immediately touched the long sword on the inside of the bed.
But before he drew his sword, he could only hear the sound of "whoosh" as the ground broke through the air.
"when--"
A flying knife almost touched the back of his hand and pierced the wall.
"Who?" Jiang Shuo asked sharply.
In the darkness, there was a sneer.
"I heard that the uncle of the Jiang family asked people to inquire about me?" The woman's voice contained a hint of intimidation.
Jiang Shuo's heartbeat immediately increased.
He wasn't afraid, but...excited.
"Que Ling?"
"You called me my name too?" Master Que's voice was as cold as ice.
Jiang Shuo remained silent and asked him to call a woman Que Ye... He was a little unable to do so.
Fortunately, Mr. Que didn't hesitate, "What do you want me to do?"
Jiang Shuo was about to speak.
"Think carefully before answering. Don't think that because you are my cousin, I won't do anything to you.
"There are many ways to make you disappear."
Jiang Shuo took a deep breath.
"I didn't intend to lie to you... I met you by chance, of course, you definitely didn't pay attention to me.
"Although we met only once, I am very curious about you. I have a knot in my mind. Before I met you, I thought, why was my life such a failure?
"My closest relatives hate me and run away from me. The career I created no longer needs me. My closest relatives are far away from me... What on earth am I living for?"
Master Que had one foot on the round stool, his arms on his knees, and his head on his hands.
She seemed to listen very carefully and was also judging the authenticity of Jiang Shuo's words.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo simply put on his clothes and got up from the bed.
"Don't move!" Master Que scolded.
"I don't mean any harm, let me sit here and tell you slowly!"
Jiang Shuo poured a glass of water for himself and her.
The water was cold, but it did not affect his enthusiasm in speaking.
He took a few sips, as if he had been holding it in his heart for too long.
He finally found someone who was willing to listen to him and to whom he was willing to talk.
Jiang Shuo told Mr. Que everything about the relationship between him and Wen Yuanjie.
How do you do good for him...
How could Wen Yuanjie have childish thoughts, be rebellious, conceited, and disobey him...
As he spoke, Master Que sneered, "For his own good? It's for his own good!"
"This is just your self-deception! Your original intention is to satisfy yourself! To satisfy the unspeakable desires in your heart!
"You want to stand on the moral high ground and make everyone feel that they owe you! They are grateful to you! They feel that you have 'sacrificed' yourself so much and that you are great!
"Bah! People like you are the devil!"
I don’t know which of Jiang Shuo’s words touched Master Que’s old wound.
She suddenly became furious, and her anger was like a flood bursting from a dam.
She suddenly reached out and strangled Jiang Shuo's neck.
"What I hate the most is your self-righteousness. Under the guise of doing good for others, you let others behave and do things according to your ideas!
"Isn't he a human being? Doesn't he have his own thoughts? Is his life his or yours? Why should he listen to you in everything?
"You're such a disgusting person! You make me sick!"
Jiang Shuo was already about to break free from Master Que's hand.
But Master Que's last two words were like two poisonous arrows, hitting his heart at once.
Jiang Shuo froze, and suddenly lost all strength to resist.
He sat there blankly, letting Master Que's hand tighten more and more tightly.
His eyes went dark for a while...
There was a ringing in his ears, and he seemed to hear the sound of his own blood flowing.
His face suddenly swelled, as if it was about to explode.
"...Why don't you resist?"
Master Que suddenly let go of his hand.
The fresh air blows in my face.
Jiang Shuo, who was almost suffocating, subconsciously sucked in the air greedily.
The darkness and dizziness in front of his eyes gradually faded away.
He seemed to have died and come back to life.
"Why are you resisting? You have given me a verdict. I probably don't deserve to live in this world..."
Jiang Shuo's murmured words did not arouse Master Que's sympathy.
She sneered, "Pretend to be pitiful. Whether you deserve to live or not has nothing to do with me.
"I lost control just now... It wasn't because of you, it was because you reminded me of some... bad memories.
"Don't ask anyone to inquire about me in the future, and I don't want to see you again! I can only advise you...
"You are all to blame for everything you have done today! You deserve it!"
After Master Que finished speaking, he decisively turned around and climbed out of the window.
Jiang Shuo touched his sore neck and looked at the window where she left. For a long time, he sat still.
His eyes glowed faintly in the darkness.
Master Que returned to Que Tower, but she didn't go to bed.
It was late at night, but she called a few people who usually practiced with her to practice sparring in the middle of the night.
He knocked down five people in a row and beat them until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
Only then did Mr. Que feel that the evil fire in his body had almost vented.
This is a hardship for those sparring partners, "Master Que, we have to pay more! I originally thought that this job would be a little tiring and painful!"
"It's good now! I won't let you sleep, but you will still be alive! Twice the money! Otherwise, don't practice anymore!"
Master Que snorted, "I'll give you three times, shut up!"
When several people heard this, they immediately laughed.
"Hiss..." They all grinned when they pulled at the wound.
Master Que thought that the matter between her and Jiang Shuo should be over after this unpleasant night.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuo turned out to be a stubborn donkey!
At noon the next day, as soon as Mr. Que got up, he saw Jiang Shuo in the lobby of the Que Tower, standing with his hands behind his back and playing with the birds with his head raised.
The boy said, "I've been here all morning. I didn't say what I was doing. I just watched the birds there.
"I wanted to drive him away, but he took out an ingot of gold! It's very rich!"
The boy's eyes gleamed when he talked about gold.
Master Que sighed helplessly... She couldn't blame her little guy for being greedy for money, because she also loved money.
Master Que waved his hand and asked the man to get down.
She came to Jiang Shuo in person, "Itchy skin? Didn't you get enough lessons? Do you feel uncomfortable coming to your door?"
Jiang Shuo looked back at her.
He wore high-collared clothes, covering his neck so tightly that he couldn't see the traces of being pinched last night.
"Last night, you left before I finished speaking," Jiang Shuo said, "Now that I've said it, I can't just say half of it."
