Chapter 118: Distributing Buns

"Miss, how about pretending that I have a lover?" Luo Kui suggested, looking at her eagerly and said, "Miss, I really haven't heard you play the Phoenix for a long time."

"Pretend?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her hand and poked her face. Unlike Lianxin's oval face, Luokui had a round oval face, which felt a little fleshy when poked. Her eyes flickered as she raised her hand and slid it across the piano: "I'm done."

Luo Kui's round eyes widened as she looked at her in disbelief: "Miss, the zither is still wrapped in cloth. How did you play it? I didn't hear a single note!"

"Pretend you've finished playing!" Xiao Jiuyue winked playfully, and looking at her stunned expression, she laughed particularly happily. She hummed a tune and strode forward, leaving Luo Kui standing there with the zither in her arms, like a fixed stake, standing there, motionless.

Jun Lie, who was not far away, took in the entire scene. With his excellent hearing, he really didn't miss a single word. She was cunning and agile like a charming fox.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. She was dressed in white and walking happily in the forest. In her hand, she was holding a piece of dogtail grass that she had picked some time ago, which was swaying back and forth, like an elf in the mountains.

In Lancang County, at the entrance of the Fang family, seven wooden boxes were neatly placed at the entrance of the Fang family, with red silk tied on them.

The Fang family's doorman had no idea what it was, and even the ordinary people passing by were curious. What was this thing? Who sent it as a gift? And why did they send it so early in the morning without even seeing anyone?

More and more people gathered around the Fang family until a steward of the Fang family came over and looked at the box. He thought it was a gift from someone and asked someone to open it. However, when the box was opened, he found that there was not gold, silver or jewelry inside, nor a gift, but a person.

No, to be precise, it's a corpse!

There were seven boxes in a row, all filled with fishy smell. The people who were watching the excitement were even more excited and thrilled. The frightened people were scared away, but a group of brave people came over. They surrounded the Fang family's door in three layers inside and three layers outside, making it impossible to get in or out.

The Fang family's steward wanted to drive everyone away, but it was too late!

All kinds of speculations and rumors were spreading, and with He Changqing's people mixed in, they incited the emotions of the people. Everyone said that the Fang family was bringing trouble upon themselves.

"I know these people. Isn't this the Tiger Lord who lives by the riverbank on the west side?"

"Master Tiger recently received a big business deal and even went to a restaurant to drink and eat meat."

"Could it be that this big business belongs to the Fang family? They wanted to kill someone to silence him, but instead they were killed by someone else?"

"Dude, you're right. The other party might just want to warn the Fang family."

"Why would these boxes be placed right in front of Fang's door if they had nowhere else to go?"

Seeing that everyone was united in their opinion, He Changqing's people quietly hid in the crowd. When the Fang family asked for guards and government officials, everyone was still thinking about reporting the Fang family to the authorities to find out the truth!

Who knew that the Fang family would make a lot of noise but do little, and simply ordered the yamen runners to carry away the seven boxes, and even drove away the people, not allowing them to see them.

"The Fang family must be feeling guilty and afraid of being discovered for doing something bad!"

"Who says it's not true? Could it be that all the bad things that Tiger Lord did before were done by the Fang family?"

"Shh, don't say that."

Although the people were driven away, it could not stop the gossip passion in their hearts. By the time the news reached the Fang family, their reputation had already been ruined!

Even the Fang family's cloth was not wanted to be bought by anyone!

They earn their money and then bully the poor people at will. Aren’t they fools?

At the Xiao family, Xiao Jiuyue asked someone to prepare a carriage and prepared to go to the county to pick up Lianxin. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Guo Sheng driving the carriage and bringing Lianxin back.

"Miss, I'm so glad that you're okay!" Lianxin looked at Xiao Jiuyue with tears in her eyes. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.

"I'm fine, Jiayuan and Jiachen are fine too." Xiao Jiuyue supported Lianxin and looked at her haggard appearance, her red and swollen eyes, and the heavy dark circles under her eyes. She must not have slept well yesterday.

"How are your feet?" Xiao Jiuyue lowered her head.

Lian Xin shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just a sprain. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

"The doctor said that if you continue to walk with this leg, you'll probably become a cripple. How can you say it's okay?" Guo Sheng's voice rang out in surprise. He saluted towards Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss Xiao, I'm the Third Master's attendant, Guo Sheng."

Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly, but before she could say anything, she listened to Guo Sheng's words, which were like spilling beans, and told him about the dangerous situation yesterday.

Lianxin's foot was severely sprained and she was knocked to the ground by a carriage. When he sent her to the doctor yesterday, he saw that Lianxin's foot was swollen like a steamed bun.

Guo Sheng's voice was rising and falling, and he gestured and vividly described the terrifying situation at that time. He said, "Miss Xiao, you don't know. When the doctor saw Lianxin's feet and heard that she had walked to the clinic, he was stunned!"

"The doctor said that if she walks for another half an hour, her feet will be broken and she will become a cripple." Guo Sheng's slightly exaggerated words made Lianxin tremble with fear. She didn't realize it was so dangerous yesterday?

"Miss, don't talk about him. It's nothing serious." Lian Xin was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would worry. Just as she was about to move, she was held down by Xiao Jiuyue: "Lian Xin, since your leg is injured, you should rest well. You are not allowed to walk anymore!"

"Lianxin, I'll carry you." Luokui squatted down in front of Lianxin and turned around and said, "I'm very strong now. Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

"Luo Kui, I can walk..." Lian Xin felt cared for and comforted, and her eyes instantly turned red again.

Finally, at Xiao Jiuyue's request, Lianxin was carried back to the yard by Luokui.

"Guo Sheng, thank you for taking care of Lianxin yesterday." Xiao Jiuyue took out the small change from her waist and handed it to her, "I can't let you pay for the medical expenses anymore."

"No, no, no, you're too polite, Miss Xiao. I was driving without paying attention, so I bumped into Miss Lianxin." Guo Sheng stepped back repeatedly, not daring to take the silver from Xiao Jiuyue. He said, "As long as Miss Xiao doesn't blame me, that's enough."

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed slightly. Since he was unwilling to accept it, then forget it. She asked someone to send Guo Sheng to the front yard to rest.

Xiao Jiuyue hurried back to the courtyard and happened to see Luo Kui examining Lianxin's leg. Even after it was bandaged, her leg was still swollen like a steamed bun. She asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"Miss, don't listen to Guo Sheng's scary words. It's just scary, but it's nothing serious." Lian Xin smiled and looked at Xiao Jiuyue apologetically: "Miss, I didn't make it to the county government office."

"It's okay. Didn't you find such a powerful reinforcement like the Third Prince?" Xiao Jiuyue praised: "You did a great job. However, next time, you should pay attention to your legs. You can't walk anymore. It's enough to find the two brothers Jin Wen. It's okay if you don't go to the government office!"
