Chapter 78 You don’t like me, do you?
"But I'm a fugitive!" Looking at those sincere faces, Shen Wan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't stay here for long."
When the doctors heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
Exile?
How could the dignified Qin family be so close to the fugitive?
"I wonder if Miss Shen has a husband?" the white-haired old doctor asked cautiously.
Among the families that have been exiled recently, it seems that there is no family with the surname Shen.
Before Shen Wan could speak, Xie Mubai's cold voice came over: "My husband's family name is Xie, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."
As soon as they heard the name of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the blood drained from the doctors' faces at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It would be fine if it was any other family, but the Xie family is the one that we absolutely cannot get involved with!
"Sir, I'm so sorry." The old doctor was the first to bow to Young Master Qin and said respectfully, "I just remembered that I have something to do at home, so I have to go first."
After hearing this, the other doctors also resigned.
Small people like them really don't dare to wade into this muddy water.
Young Master Qin's face was so gloomy that water could almost be squeezed out of it, but he did not try to keep her.
"I was negligent." He looked at Shen Wan with a guilty look on his face, "They asked me to help introduce them, so I agreed."
Shen Wan shrugged: “It doesn’t matter, I’m used to it.”
"Ignore them!" Qin Chu said angrily with a sullen face, "They don't even consider their status. Even if something really happened, there's no way they could be implicated!"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this exile was nothing more than an excuse for the emperor and his powerful officials to eliminate dissidents.
How could these mediocre country doctors be worthy of the noble eyelids of those dignitaries?
After hearing this, Xie Mubai couldn't help but look at him again.
"Aren't you afraid of being implicated by us?" he asked quietly.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Qin Chu sneered. "Ever since my father passed away, our Qin family has only focused on business, not politics. Even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with us."
"Don't mention it, if they don't eat it, we will!"
As he spoke, he began to serve food to everyone.
I have to say that the Qin family is very hospitable to guests and the food is extremely rich.
There are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicacies from land and sea.
Perhaps moved by his enthusiasm, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
While Shen Wan went out to wash her hands, Qin Chu got up and chased after her.
Xie Mubai looked at it and found an excuse to go out.
The moonlight is like water, with scattered stars.
A breeze blows, and the yard is filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Shen Wan stood at the foot of the corridor, looking at the young man in front of her who was more than half a head taller than her with surprise.
"Miss Shen, I have something to ask you." Qin Chu blushed and said unnaturally, "Do you... do you really want to go to the Northwest?"
"I mean, if, if you don't want to go, I can help you."
So this is what happened again!
Shen Wan couldn't help but laugh: "I said, I can't abandon my man."
"But he doesn't love you at all!" Qin Chu was anxious and retorted, "He wanted to marry Chen Yan, not you at all!"
"I know you're worried about him. I can give him some money and ask the officials to take good care of him along the way."
"As long as he has money, his life won't be too difficult even if he goes to the Northwest."
"You are still young, you have to think about your future!"
Seeing that he insisted on letting her leave, Shen Wanxin moved slightly.
"You... don't you like me?" she asked tentatively.
If it was just to repay a favor, would he need to be so excited?
When Qin Chu heard this, his handsome face flushed red, even more beautiful than the red lotus under the moon.
He looked at her guiltily and nodded vigorously.
If I don't say anything now, this Joker girl might be leaving.
He didn't want her to leave.
He wanted her to stay and become the young lady of the Qin family.
"Looks like I have to give you an injection." Shen Wan burst out laughing, "You're just a child, how can you tell the difference between gratitude and love?"
"Besides, I'm so ugly!"
"Who said you're ugly? I just like you!" Qin Chu blushed and said unconvincedly, "Besides, you're only sixteen, younger than me!"
"According to your theory, you can't even tell whether you really like the prince or not."
"Maybe your feelings towards him were just a momentary impulse."
The two were chatting animatedly and didn't notice Xie Mubai behind the flowers at all.
After hearing this, his pupils shrank involuntarily and his gaze fell on the face of the clown girl.
Can she tell the difference?
Shen Wan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The problem is that I don't even have this momentary impulse towards you."
Qin Chu's face turned pale.
"How am I inferior to Xie Mubai?" After a long silence, he asked somewhat unconvinced.
He is the son of a royal merchant, his family is wealthy, and he has all his limbs intact, but what does Xie Mubai have?
Apart from a broken body and the identity of a fugitive, it seems that the only thing left is that good-looking but useless face.
"You are good in every way." Shen Wan smiled, "It's a pity that you are not him, and you may not love me."
Qin Chu asked in return: "Then do you know what love is?"
This question stumped Shen Wan.
As a single person in two lifetimes, how could she have any experience in love?
However, the romance novels he usually read seemed to be more than enough to deal with this innocent young man who was not very worldly-wise.
Shen Wan's eyes rolled, and she smiled slyly: "To love someone is to miss him all the time."
"Being with him, even if I don't say anything or do anything, my heart is still sweet."
Qin Chu looked bewildered when he heard this, but Xie Mubai, who was hiding in the dark, felt a slight movement in his heart.
It seemed like everything she said was true for me.
But is this love?
"Looking at your expression, I know you didn't get any of them right." Chen Wan patted Qin Chu's shoulder and said with a smile, "I know you want to repay me, but you really don't have to repay me with your body."
"Go back quickly. If you don't go back, my man will definitely be worried."
I really don't know what this person is thinking. He sends men in black to pretend to assassinate someone, and he also pledges his love to someone. How can this be achieved through money and property?
If Qin Chu knew what she was thinking, he would be heartbroken.
Could it be that he, the son of a noble merchant, is not even as good as a pile of wealth!
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Qin Chu was too embarrassed to say anything else.
After returning to the hall, everyone ate for a while and then hurriedly dispersed.
Chen Wan refused Qin Chu's offer to see her off and returned to the courtyard with the Xie brothers and sisters.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sun sitting on a rattan chair in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
As soon as he saw her, Xie Murong deliberately rubbed his stomach and looked at Shen Wan: “Fifth sister-in-law, please give me some digestive medicine later.”
"I ate too much tonight and my stomach feels bloated and uncomfortable."
"But to be honest, I haven't had such delicious bird's nest porridge in a long time."
Sun's face darkened.
She was so angry that she jumped up from the rattan chair and cursed angrily: "Why don't you die of stuffing!"
"What a shame! Some people don't even have the chance to die of starvation!" Xie Murong stiffened his neck and sneered, "They keep saying that they're living here because of you, but now they're not inviting you to a banquet but Fifth Sister-in-law instead. Who do you think they're relying on for this?"
"Some people are so shameless that they dare to take the blame for everything!"
As she spoke, she twisted her slender waist and walked behind the screen.
Shen Wan smiled.
She gave Xie Murong a few hawthorn pills, then pushed the wheelchair into the west wing.
As soon as I entered the house, a rich fragrance hit me.
"What's that smell?" She couldn't help but frown.
Xie Mubai sniffed it and said, "It smells a bit like cattail grass."
It is summer now and the climate is humid, so it is not uncommon for wealthy families to fumigate their clothes with cattail.
But why is there this fragrance only in their house and not in the living room?
Shen Wan seemed to understand something and couldn't help but sneered.
