Chapter 352 Who will redress the Xiao family's grievances?
"Doctor, thank you for the trouble you've made." Xiao Jiuyue winked at Lian Xin and asked, "Is she in good health?"
"She's very healthy, nothing wrong with her!" The doctor said, and then added, "By the way, the girl is young, she should eat light food. Too much nourishment is not good for her either!"
"Okay." When Lianxin handed the medical fee to the doctor, she could hardly hold back the smile on her lips. Luokui's mouth loved eating so much that she successfully ate herself until she was plump. Fortunately, this girl had a small frame, otherwise, she would be really plump.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor. It's late at night. Why don't you rest here at the inn for a night? I'll send you back to the county town early tomorrow morning." After Lianxin settled the doctor, she came back and saw Guo Sheng still standing there. He still thought the doctor's diagnosis was wrong.
"Could it be that the doctor simply can't diagnose the disease? I saw with my own eyes that she collapsed all of a sudden, and no matter how we called her along the way, she wouldn't wake up. How come she wasn't poisoned?" Guo Sheng's eyes were full of disbelief. He felt like the doctor was looking at a fool from the way he looked at him just now!
And he is that fool!
"Guo Sheng, are you stupid? If Luo Kui really had something wrong, how could my young lady eat noodles so calmly?" Lian Xin said with certainty. If it was another young lady, she didn't know whether she cared about a personal maid, but her young lady definitely cared!
"Well, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Guo Sheng cleared his throat and frantically said, "I was just anxious."
"Impatient!" Xiao Jiuyue drawled out her words, looking at Luo Kui who was sleeping on the bed. "My Luo Kui is indeed a good girl. She is capable, has a good personality, is lively and cheerful, like a happy fruit."
As soon as Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, Lian Xin beside her took the initiative to speak: "Miss, there are many people asking about Luo Kui, but Luo Kui looks down on them all and says that he wants to be with you."
"I remember that Luokui is sixteen years old this year, right?" Xiao Jiuyue asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I just turned sixteen."
Lianxin echoed Xiao Jiuyue's words and almost arranged a marriage for Luokui. Guo Sheng was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters. He looked at Xiao Jiuyue but was too embarrassed to speak. His helpless look made Xiao Jiuyue laugh. There must be a reason why this man couldn't get married.
"Miss Xiao, Miss Luokui is still young, there is no need to rush to get married. It will not be too late to get married after returning to Beijing." Guo Sheng tried hard to find an excuse.
"Guo Sheng, if I meet the right one, I can't stand in the way of Luo Kui's happiness, right?" Xiao Jiuyue refuted Guo Sheng's words: "After all, Luo Kui suffered for me. As her master, I have to take good care of her, right?"
Xiao Jiuyue smiled brightly. Looking at Guo Sheng's anxious look, she felt happy in her heart. If he was interested in Luo Kui, he should just say it directly. If he kept hiding it like this, who would know?
When Luokui was unconscious, no matter how much worry Guo Sheng showed, it was useless because Luokui couldn't feel it!
"You, I, am..." Guo Sheng didn't know what to say.
Xiao Jiuyue said, "Guo Sheng, if you want to get married, you have to be thick-skinned and hire a matchmaker. Otherwise, all the good girls will be picked up by others."
After saying this, Guo Sheng left with a blushing face.
"Miss, I really didn't realize that Guo Sheng actually had feelings for Luo Kui." Lian Xin glanced sideways and said puzzledly: "But when did he develop these feelings? Could it be when the Third Prince was injured last time?"
"Guo Sheng follows the Third Prince. Although he is not good at speaking, he can still do things." Lian Xin said, thinking about her understanding of him.
"Who knows? No matter who it is, Luo Kui has to agree." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Lian Xin, who was carefully counseling Luo Kui, and said with a smile, "No matter who the other person is, the most important thing is that you like them. If you don't like them, it's pointless to marry and face someone you don't like for the rest of your life!"
"Lotus only likes to eat." Lianxin said with a smile.
Late at night, Donggui came looking for him.
"Miss, the account book!" Dong Gui came over with the account book, still wrapped in the last layer of oil paper. She handed it forward and said, "I fumigated the account book with incense, and it has no smell at all."
"You." Xiao Jiuyue took the account book with a smile. The account book still showed signs of being tightly wrapped, and the handwriting on it was written very carefully. She asked Lianxin to pick the wick, and then she stayed up late to start looking at the account book.
The more Xiao Jiuyue read, the more shocked she became. This, this should be the account book of the silver and weapons sent out by the Eighteen Villages. This book records where the Eighteen Villages sent things and how much they had sent in the past year.
Shibazhai, a bandit village, where did he get so much silver and weapons to give away?
Unless Shibazhai has an iron mine and can make their own iron!
"Lianxin, grind the ink." Xiao Jiuyue took the pen and started copying. She still had to verify the contents of the account book carefully and make several copies. Otherwise, if it was lost, it would be a pity!
In the pitch-black night, with a light drizzle outside, Xiao Jiuyue diligently copied the account book. He copied one copy with a brush, then another with a homemade pen. It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Jiuyue yawned and stretched lazily: "Finally finished!"
Why doesn't she have any cheat codes? Otherwise, she could just type on the computer and it would be done!
Xiao Jiuyue thought about it for only a second, then shook the idea off. She didn't want to think about things that she couldn't do. She hid the original account book, prepared to give the handwritten copy to Guo Sheng, and kept the remaining copy written with her homemade pen. When she had time, she would copy two more copies.
"Unfortunately, this is only one year's worth. If we could have nearly three years' worth, maybe we could find the embezzled silver?" When Xiao Jiuyue thought of this possibility, her heart burned with excitement, and then she slowly calmed down. No, the Eighteen Villages are very dangerous. The account books are important, but more important is herself!
If even she is gone, who will redress the Xiao family's grievances?
Don't be impulsive!
Xiao Jiuyue took a deep breath, and the thought of rushing to the Eighteen Villages suddenly disappeared slowly. As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood.
"water."
Luo Kui's soft voice came from the bed. Xiao Jiuyue quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her. She helped Luo Kui sit up and said, "The water is here."
Gurgle, gurgle.
Luo Kui drank the whole glass of water. She slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jiuyue in a daze: "Miss." Her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't speak, and it hurt when she shouted.
"Don't talk. You must have hurt your throat yesterday. Do you want some water?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Luo Kui shook her head, and Xiao Jiuyue asked again, "Are you feeling any discomfort?"
"No." Luo Kui felt uncomfortable when she made the sound. She looked at Lianxin who was sleeping on the table beside her, and then looked at Xiao Jiuyue who had not changed her clothes. She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Thank you, Miss." The Miss took care of her for a whole night. She was so happy!
