Chapter 329 Jade. Weak Little White Flower. Qianli
I gave him medicine again in the evening.
Xiao Ying asked He Changgui and Tingxue to take turns guarding and report immediately if any problems occurred.
Fortunately, Li Qian's condition was relatively stable. After taking the medicine twice, his temperature dropped, indicating that his condition began to improve.
Little did he know that this was all Yu Qianli's self-torture trick. He had gone to great lengths to stay in the house.
In order to act more like an ordinary person, he took an extremely precious Sanling Pill.
Now he is indeed just an ordinary person.
However, his spiritual consciousness was still there, so he could easily understand the movements of the entire house.
Then I realized something was wrong.
After the entire house fell asleep, he discovered that several auras suddenly disappeared, including Xiao Ying and Ling Yun.
It was not until the next morning that these people suddenly reappeared and returned to their respective rooms.
This discovery surprised him a little, but not particularly unexpected.
If I'm not mistaken, these people should have gone to Xiao Ying's secret space.
He was very curious about that secret space. Xiao Ying's opportunity should have come from there, including those powerful beasts and even those high-yield crops.
Those members of the Xia family who were arrested might also be imprisoned there.
It would be nice if he could go in and take a look.
But this is just thought.
The people Xiao Ying could bring in were either people she trusted extremely or prisoners she had captured. He had neither of these qualities.
He couldn't help but wonder, how could he become Xiao Ying's most trusted person?
With Li Qian's status, there might be a chance in a few years, but he doesn't want to wait that long.
The next morning, He Changgui came to report that Li Qian had woken up.
Xiao Ying went to check in person and found that the man was indeed awake, but still looked very weak. Fortunately, he was out of danger.
"Thank you, Madam, for taking me in. Li Qian has caused you so much trouble... cough cough cough..."
When Li Qian saw her coming, he seemed very excited. He wanted to stand up and greet her, but he started coughing again.
"You're very weak, so don't move around." Xiao Ying pushed him back with a force and asked, "How do you feel today?"
"I feel better now. Thank you for your concern, Madam."
Li Qian lowered his eyes, his pale face filled with gratitude, which made him look even weaker and more pitiful.
"Madam is the first person who cares about me so much since I was a child."
Xiao Ying asked tentatively, "Did the previous master treat you badly?"
If he wasn't good, he wouldn't have been allowed to be the shopkeeper.
Li Qian was silent for a moment before saying, "Not really. If I were sick, they would never let me stay at their house to be cured like Madam did, let alone come to visit me."
"In their eyes, we are nothing more than useful cattle and horses. Once we lose our value, we can be discarded at any time."
He sighed softly and seemed to be lost in memories.
"Because my parents died young, I was an orphan since childhood. It was by chance that I entered the previous master's family to work."
"At first, I didn't understand anything. Beating, scolding, and being forced to kneel were commonplace."
"After that, I learned some skills from my master, and after eight years, I finally became the shop owner."
"But the good times didn't last long. Not long after, the master's family fled due to drought, and because I was weak, they abandoned me on the way."
Having said that, he laughed at himself.
"I narrowly escaped death on the road and was eventually caught by the pawnbrokers. If it weren't for the kindness of Steward Kang who bought me back, I'm afraid I would have lost my life."
He met Xiao Ying's gaze, then looked away embarrassedly.
"Madam is the best person I have ever met. Although I have only been with her for a short time, I can feel her trust and care for me and everyone else."
"That feeling isn't that of master and servant, it's more like family..."
As if realizing that he had said something wrong, Li Qian's cheeks suddenly turned red and he quickly changed his words.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Li Qian definitely doesn't intend to marry above his station."
"I overstepped my bounds. I shouldn't have said those things to Madam. I polluted Madam's ears."
"I am... I am..."
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain what was going on, and became more and more embarrassed.
Xiao Ying laughed. She didn't expect to be confessed so suddenly, and she felt a little touched.
The emotions between people are connected. If she is kind to everyone, everyone will naturally feel it.
"Alright, I understand what you mean." Xiao Ying interrupted his hesitation: "If you really think I'm good, then you should work hard for me in the future, and I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Li Qian's expression immediately became serious: "Madam has treated me well, I am willing to die for you."
Xiao Ying remained noncommittal: "Rest well and recover soon. The printing workshop is waiting for you to return."
"Yes, ma'am."
Li Qian smiled, but then started coughing, looking vulnerable.
Xiao Ying suppressed the strangeness in his heart, turned around and walked out.
It would be great if this person was really Li Qian.
She knew there was a kind of elixir called Sanling Pill, which could disperse the spiritual power in the human body after taking it, making the person become no different from an ordinary person.
But it can only last for three days at most.
After three days, the medicinal properties completely disappeared and his spiritual power was restored.
If Yu Qianli really took this kind of pill, then he would really be willing to take the risk.
This also means that he has big plans.
A light flashed in Xiao Ying's eyes. She wanted to see what this man wanted to do.
Little did he know that Ling Yun, who had been hiding in the dark, had a look on his face and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Is this guy really the young master in disguise?
She actually pretended to be weak to gain her master's sympathy.
Why does it feel so...unbearable to look at?
Perhaps the master is right, he doesn't really know the young master that well.
At this moment, the image of the young master who had always been gifted and intelligent in his mind somewhat collapsed.
"I've been here for quite some time now, and the New Year is almost over, so it's time for me to go back."
The next day, Ning Leshu suddenly said goodbye, his eyes full of reluctance.
How she wanted to live with her daughter forever, but fate was against her.
"I should try to keep Mom, but I also know I can't."
Xiao Ying also felt a little reluctant.
Although they didn't spend much time together, Ning Leshu was really good to her, and she accepted this mother in her heart.
She knew that it was time for her mother to go back, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
Maybe her family has discovered that she is not at the farm.
"Don't worry, mother. My previous promise will not change. I will come to the capital to see you in a year at the longest and half a year at the shortest."
Ning Leshu couldn't help but smile, and even his sorrow disappeared a little.
"Then mother will wait for you in Shangjing. Remember to write to mother before you come so that she can pick you up."
"Okay." Xiao Ying agreed with a smile, and then said, "Mom will leave a little later tomorrow, I'll go see you off."
"You kid..."
Ning Leshu was moved and naturally would not refuse, so he set the time as noon.
After Ning Leshu left, the house seemed to become much quieter.
Xiao Ying was actually a little uncomfortable. There was no one who cared about her all day long anymore.
"master."
At this moment, Ling Yun suddenly came to report, holding a strange man who had been knocked unconscious.
