Chapter 39 You will be good to us, right?
The boatman paddled the boat, drifting on the inner river, and finally arrived at the city BJ, which was prosperous and the best in the world. However, the north of the city was dark under the canopy.
The city's lowest-end handicrafts are gathered here, like dirt, silently nourishing the bright tree of Kyoto.
Qing Tiao tightened his thin clothes and jumped from the bow of the boat to the shore.
The boatman asked with a smile: "Miss Qingtiao, when will I pick you up next time?"
Qing Tiao trembled and whispered, "No need to pick me up!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and ran away.
Although the place where she lived was remote, it was now breakfast time. The hot steam from the breakfast stalls mixed with the mist, and shadows were already visible on the foggy streets.
Qing Tiao's luxurious yet thin clothes were out of place in this environment and naturally attracted a lot of strange looks.
Sympathy, contempt, lust, it all is there.
These gazes were like needles pricking Qing Tiao, making her feel so painful that she could only bury her head lower, take faster steps, and run straight to her home at the end of the street.
"Oh!"
After closing the gate, she quickly inserted the bolt and leaned against the door, sobbing silently.
at this time.
A man's voice came from the room: "Qing Tiao, you're back?"
Qing Tiao quickly wiped away her tears, forced a smile and walked into the house, taking out the dessert she had taken from the flower boat from her arms: "Husband, are you hungry?"
On the bed was a man with a simple and honest look.
His upper body was quite sturdy, but his legs were rather thin, and his ankles looked very deformed.
Although the honest man had a smile on his face, his expression was indescribably bitter and haggard.
It's obvious that he hasn't slept all night.
He is Qing Tiao’s husband, Fu Gui.
"They...didn't give you any trouble?"
"no!"
Qing Tiao stuffed the cake into his mouth and stood up to pour him some cold tea: "After all, you are the son of a wealthy family, so you are quite polite. Are you choking? If you are, drink some water."
Fu Gui's eyes were red: "It's hard for you."
Hear this.
Qing Tiao could no longer hold back the smile on her face, and she wiped her tears and fell into her husband's arms: "As long as you don't despise us mother and daughter, it's fine! When we have enough money and your leg is healed, we will leave the capital and never come back."
"Ok!"
Fu Gui responded and stopped talking. The couple just hugged each other in silence.
After a long while, he asked in a low voice: "How long will it take?"
"Ten days later!"
"Ten days!?"
Fu Gui was surprised and delighted: "Didn't you say it would take a long time?"
Chun Tiao quickly reached into his arms and said, "When I came back by boat this morning, I ran into the son of Zhennan Marquis and his wife. They gave me this."
Having said that, he opened his purse.
There are a few golden beans in it, which are enough for an ordinary family to settle down and buy a house, and have enough food and clothing for many years.
Fu Gui's eyes were a little hot: "The prince is really a good person, but these...are they not enough!"
He showed his leg to a doctor, who said that the young master had used too much force and it was beyond his ability.
A famous doctor must be invited to break the bones and reconnect them, and then precious medicinal herbs must be used to nourish the bones before they can recover. Although there are many golden beans, they are still not enough.
Qing Tiao bit his lip and said, "That person introduced me to a new customer who will arrive in ten days and can pay me five times the salary."
Fu Gui: “…”
He fell silent again, his face twisted and his heart broken.
Qing Tiao turned his back and asked in a trembling voice, "Husband, will you treat us well in the future?"
"Yes! Of course! Qing Tiao, you..."
"I believe!"
Qing Tiao stroked her slightly bulging belly and tears fell like rain.
……
In the next few days, there was no sadness or joy, everything was normal.
The out-of-control emotions on the boat that day seemed to be just an episode and did not affect the "young couple's" subsequent interactions, as if nothing had happened.
But Bai Yuji's life was extremely tormenting. Every night when he closed his eyes, he would think of the woman he met while boating that day.
There were slap marks on his face, tears were streaming down his face, and he was shivering with cold.
But she did not forget to gather the hem of her skirt together to cover her belly.
No matter how unbearable it is, she should still love the flesh and blood in her belly.
But it was precisely because of the child in her belly that she aroused the interest of those psychologically twisted dignitaries.
Bai Yuji was very confused and didn't know how to view this talent.
But every time she thought of what Qin Muye said, "We and our children are even more pitiful," she felt like the sky was falling.
Before this.
She only regarded these as acts of revenge, and being pregnant with the Qin family's bloodline was just a means to an end.
But now, she couldn't take it lightly at all.
Because the planned fetus not only has the blood of the Qin family, but also half of his own blood. It could have grown into a beautiful and lovely child.
"what!"
Bai Yuji screamed and woke up from her dream, gasping for breath.
He wiped his forehead and his palms were covered with cold sweat.
She shook her head, silently calculated the time, and her face suddenly froze.
The tenth day of October.
It was the agreed time.
Today, the boys and girls and the lucky beads will be sent to the suburban residence of the third son of Yali.
Their residence is in Jing County, less than 500 miles north of Kyoto. There will be a grand temple fair there today. As the imperial examination for all races is approaching, there cannot be any chaos at this temple fair, so the court has sent several imperial guards to patrol.
The imperial guards that Qin Yanying trained with on a daily basis were one of them.
I had already prepared everything and arranged the treatment process for Qin Muye in advance. He should rest at home for the next few days and must not catch a cold, so there was no way he could go out.
When the time comes, as long as I mention that I want to go out for a walk, Qin Yanying will definitely take me with him.
Once they arrived at the designated location, it would only take a few words to lead Qin Yanying to the demon's nest.
Everything is perfect.
But Bai Yuji felt extremely nervous.
She pinched her thigh to force away the panic.
The Great Elder is right.
The hatred of genocide and extermination is such that no matter how extreme one's actions are, it is never too much.
Besides, the Qin family's status is sensitive, so no matter how big a mistake Qin Yanying makes, the most he will do is go to jail.
What is there for me to blame myself for?
"call……"
"call……"
"call……"
Bai Yuji took three deep breaths before she calmed down.
At this moment, she heard footsteps approaching from afar, and she quickly lay back in bed.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
That's the other side of the door.
Qin Yanying lowered her voice and said, "Yuji, are you awake?"
"Awake! What's wrong, aunt?"
Bai Yuji pretended to have just woken up.
Qin Yanying then opened the door and walked into the room carrying a bowl of steaming hot medicine. "You've looked listless these past few days. You must be too tired from taking care of Muye. Auntie got you some nourishing herbs. Drink them now!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
Bai Yuji took the bowl with a smile and drank a mouthful while it was still hot. She felt a refreshing feeling flowing into her head. She was stunned for a moment: "Aunt, is this the Soul Nourishing Saliva? This is too precious. Where did you get it?"
Soul-nourishing saliva is a miraculous medicine for spiritual cultivation. It is a rare treasure for Taoist practitioners, demon practitioners, or Gu practitioners.
Just one drop is worth at least hundreds of spirit stones, and it is something that is hard to come by.
Even if the Qin family had a lot of extra money, they would never buy these!
Qin Yanying chuckled and said, "The imperial court is in charge of Muye's medicinal materials. I concealed some of them."
Bai Yuji immediately exposed the truth: "Muye can't use the Soul-Nourishing Saliva to treat illnesses! I heard from Muye that although the court bears half of the expenses, there is a special inspection by the Imperial Hospital, and this kind of medicine cannot be produced. Aunt, tell me the truth, where did this Soul-Nourishing Saliva come from?"
"What are you doing so smart, girl?"
Qin Yanying smiled and complained, then waved her hand and said, "I exchanged this for my allowance. I am not very talented, and I don't think I will ever be able to break through to the Grandmaster level in this lifetime. It would be a waste to use my cultivation resources. I have been saving them for several years, and this is just the right time to exchange them for the Soul Nourishing Saliva to nourish your spirit."
"Too expensive!"
"What's so valuable about this? Muye's health has improved so quickly because of your hard work. Besides, you will be a member of our Qin family sooner or later, and it's not like you're spending money on an outsider."
"But I don't think Muye has any intention of getting married, and we are not a good match..."
"He dares! Don't worry about this matter. If Muye dares to say no, I will break his legs! And even if he has other intentions, auntie will recognize you. Otherwise, auntie will recognize you as her goddaughter tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about the family background."
"..."
"Drink it!"
"Ok!"
Bai Yuji's eyes felt a little sore, and she lowered her head to sip the medicine soup.
Wait until the medicine soup is finished.
Qin Yanying took the bowl of soup with a smile: "Are you feeling better?"
"much better!"
"Then you sleep a little longer!"
Qin Yanying walked outside with the bowl of soup in her hand. When she was about to step out of the door, she suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, Yuji, there is a temple fair in Anjin County today. It is probably more lively than Kyoto. My aunt is going on patrol today. Do you want to go shopping with her?"
Bai Yuji's heart ached.
Struggle for a moment.
She smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
