Chapter 117: They Can Become a Husband and Wife Again
For three consecutive days, he drank up all the hangover soup that Lu Wanning sent him.
It’s not because he has no doubts at all, but because he knows very well that Lu Wanning has nothing that can help her turn things around.
Her every move was being watched.
All the troubles in the capital city no longer have anything to do with them. Although they are in a busy city, no one knows them here. In comparison, they are more like a secluded young couple.
I believe that after some time, she will like this place too.
He knew that Lu Wanning had not given up just like that. She looked depressed now, as if she was waiting for Qi Muchao to come to her.
But he was very confident in the place he had chosen, believing that Qi Muchao would not be able to find this place, and even if he could find it...
He narrowed his eyes. He and Lu Wanning had been together for such a long time. Could Qi Muchao really have no grudges against them?
On the second day after he was so confident, Lu Wanning ran away.
There weren't many things that could be used as medicine from the various small items bought by the servants, and the effects were too soothing, so it was impossible for them to have a strong effect.
But this also has an advantage, which is that it will not arouse Chen Wenjian's suspicion.
For example, she added something to Chen Wenjian's hangover soup for three consecutive days, and he didn't even realize it.
It wasn't until today when he drank the hangover soup and went to bed that the effects of the medicine finally came together and took effect.
Chen Wenjian was sleeping soundly, and it was obvious that the servants who were guarding her were also a little tired, and their surveillance of her seemed to have relaxed a lot.
She managed to dilute the effect of the tendon softening powder. Although she could move normally, her hands and feet would still feel a little weak when doing big movements like running.
However, she had also observed when she had the little maid follow her out these two days that this place was bustling, with a market bustling during the day and even a night market at night. As long as she could blend in, there would be hope of escaping.
As for how to get back after escaping, Lu Wanning couldn't think about it too much for the time being.
She really couldn't tolerate every minute and every second with Chen Wenjian.
The gatekeeper had his head drooped and seemed to have fallen asleep. The maid who usually took care of her was also asleep.
Lu Wanning tiptoed to the door. The door would creak when it opened and closed, so it was obviously not realistic to run through the main door.
Fortunately, she had already made the right choice in advance.
Lu Wanning moved a stool and stepped onto the wall. Although she would definitely fall flat on her face if she jumped down in her current physical condition, she couldn't care less.
After Lu Wanning climbed up the wall, she jumped down without hesitation, but the sound of her falling to the ground must have woken up the people in the yard.
Without even having time to cry out in pain, Lu Wanning ran forward quickly. As long as she could reach the night market, she would be able to blend in.
But she hadn't run far when Chen Wenjian grabbed her arm with an expressionless face.
There seemed to be a buzzing sound in her head, and Lu Wanning closed her eyes.
Chen Wenjian said, "Come back with me."
Knowing the resentment hidden in her silence, Chen Wenjian disagreed, "He is too busy to look after himself now and won't come looking for you. Being with me is your best choice."
What does it mean to be unable to take care of oneself?
Lu Wanning pursed her lips, "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. It's just that the Second Prince started a mutiny. Now the capital is in chaos. I'm afraid he's busy protecting the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Wan Ning, you think you weren't my number one priority in my past life, but I've changed now."
"However, in Qi Muchao's eyes, you are not the first either. Do you really want to be so stubborn?"
Lu Wanning was too lazy to talk to this idiot.
She even gave up on herself. "You might as well just kill me. Otherwise, if I get the chance, I will get rid of you without mercy."
This threat felt like a teasing to Chen Wenjian. He was even in the mood to laugh. "Let's wait and see."
He reached out and wanted to grab Lu Wanning's arm and take her back.
But an arrow that broke through the wind seemed to have eyes and pierced into his palm. It was so powerful that it made him stagger a few steps to the side, and his palm was nailed to the tree next to him.
Chen Wenjian looked up suddenly, and his heart sank before he could see who was coming.
Lu Wanning ran towards the person who came without even looking back.
She didn't even see Qi Muchao's appearance before she threw herself into his arms. She almost couldn't hold herself together because of his obviously thinner figure.
Qi Muchao's fingertips turned white as he put his arms around her shoulders, which had also become much thinner, and hugged her tightly.
Changkong and Changqing on the side had already gone to pick up Chen Wenjian. The servants he bought were all ordinary thugs. They hid immediately when they saw the scene.
But Chen Wenjian showed no sign of giving in. Instead, he snorted coldly and pulled the arrow feather out of his palm, with blood dripping out.
Finally, he looked at Lu Wanning and said, "During these days with you, we can be considered as husband and wife. I am satisfied."
Changkong kicked him on the knee, knocking him to his knees. Chen Wenjian still looked at Lu Wanning with a smile.
She loves Qi Muchao, so he lets Lu Wanning see how much this man loves her.
The meaning of the words was already ambiguous enough, so Chen Wenjian stopped talking.
It is a fact that Lu Wanning has been with him for such a long time. Even if she explains it with all her heart, will Qi Muchao believe that nothing really happened between them?
Thinking this way, Chen Wenjian even felt that perhaps she would soon realize that being with him was her best destination in this world.
Qi Muchao found that smile too annoying. He glanced at Chen Wenjian's face with a dark look and said to Changkong, "Kill him."
These two simple words ended Chen Wenjian's life.
Lu Wanning heard the sound of blood splattering and subconsciously dodged.
With his talent, if he had not focused all his attention on Lu Wanning after remembering the things in his past life, perhaps he would have quickly risen to prominence.
Instead of ending up like this.
Lu Wanning did not sympathize with him, but she did not dare to look back.
Qi Muchao pulled her forward, and his hot palms dispelled much of the coldness around her body.
She seemed to hear the sound of Chen Wenjian's body falling, and her fingertips trembled. "If you kill him like this, will there be any problem?"
Qi Muchao's voice was very cold. "He was willing to hide his identity and run to this godforsaken place to be killed by thieves who were greedy for money. What does it have to do with me?"
He held Lu Wanning's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that if he loosened his grip even a little, he would lose her again.
He didn't stop until he turned into an alley and could no longer see Chen Wenjian's body. The surprise of regaining what he had lost swept over him. The blood rushed up in his head and he was speechless for a while.
