A faint light flashed in Su Qi's cold eyes, and she no longer said that she couldn't let Zhang Xiulin follow her.
Only by keeping Zhang Xiulin under their noses can Su Qi and Gu Beiheng know whether Zhang Xiulin has any connection with those people in Hulushan?
As for taking advantage of Zhang Xiulin, that was Zhang Xiulin who took the initiative to approach him. It's unclear who wanted to take advantage of whom.
Perhaps both sides mean this.
It depends on who has a higher rank.
"Baizhi. Go and see if Xiaoshi is back?" After walking a few steps, Su Qi glanced at Fang Xiaoya who was sitting on the ground, turned around and instructed Baizhi.
"Ma'am, please wait here for a moment."
Bai Zhi was a little hesitant, as she was afraid that something might happen to Su Qi here alone.
Zhang Xiulin urged eagerly:
"Go ahead. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Bai Zhi thought to herself that it was you she was afraid of.
But she still broke into a quick trot.
When Fang Xiaoya saw Su Qi leaving, she stood up and wanted to catch up with Su Qi, but the strange feeling in her heart made her unable to get up.
He could only grit his teeth and swallow it, watching Su Qi leave.
Zhang Xiulin followed Su Qi, looking around. "Su Qi, where do you live?"
Su Qi paused, her sharp eyes fixed on Zhang Xiulin, as if to see through her heart. "Zhang Xiulin, don't involve me in who you're meeting or avoiding. I just want to be a wealthy and idle person. You can leave now."
Zhang Xiulin's purpose was exposed by Su Qi, and she couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
He snorted coldly, "Don't think you can see through me. Wait until the miracle doctor from Yunzhou City arrives. That's when we'll see who's really right."
Who doesn’t know how to say harsh words?
"If you keep talking too much, I'll kill you." Su Qi looked cold.
Zhang Xiulin retracted her gaze and asked, "Where do you live?"
"Mengjiazhuang."
Speaking of Mengjiazhuang, Zhang Xiulin's eyes showed a hint of something strange. She remembered that the place where she met was also near Mengjiazhuang.
Zhang Xiulin made up her mind. Su Qi was very much to her liking. "I'll stay at your house for two days."
"I'm not familiar with you, why should I let you live in my house?" Su Qi asked with raised eyebrows.
"I'll pay your rent. Don't you want to be rich and idle?" Zhang Xiulin didn't care about Su Qi's attitude. "The rent I pay is enough for you to buy a farm in Mingfeng Town."
She has made up her mind to follow Su Qi.
Others were eager to invite her over, but Su Qi was the only one who disliked her approaching. Zhang Xiulin always felt that she was only safe around Su Qi.
Wait until Ying Shi drives over.
Zhang Xiulin was accompanied by a silent maid dressed in black. Half of her face was covered by her hair, and the only visible part was a red birthmark.
As expressionless as a wood carving.
After getting on the carriage, Bai Zhi quietly sat next to Su Qi. She hinted to Su Qi that this black-clad maid was even more skilled in martial arts than her, meaning she was a top-notch expert.
The people in the carriage had different thoughts.
Su Qi leaned against the carriage, pretending to doze off without saying a word. Uncharacteristically, Zhang Xiulin also huddled in the carriage, eyes closed, seemingly taking a nap.
Ying Shi did not take the usual route.
But took another path.
This road does not pass through the village and goes up the mountain from the southeast.
When the carriage approached Qian Daru's house, someone had already reported it to Yingyi and Gu Beiheng.
The carriage moved forward slowly.
Brothers Qian Yiqian and Qian Yian stopped the carriage and asked, "Is Madam Gu in the carriage?"
"What's the matter?" Su Qi lifted the curtain in the carriage and asked softly.
Qian Yiqian bowed and said with a smile:
"Madam Gu, my grandfather has caught a cold recently. I hope you can prescribe some medicine."
"Since we're here, let's go to your house and take your grandfather's pulse first." Su Qi knew from the look in Qian Yiqian's eyes that he had something to say.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Ying Shi turned the carriage in another direction and headed towards the Qian family.
Zhang Xiulin still had her head down as if she was sleeping. The maid in black moved her ears but didn't say anything.
Arrived at Qian's house.
After getting out of the car, Su Qi followed Qian Yiqian into the house.
She took the note Qian Yiqian gave her and took a look at it, a gleam of light flashing in her cold eyes.
Su Qi then put the note directly into the space.
Qian Daru was sitting in a wheelchair.
Su Qi walked over to check his pulse. He was recovering well. His meridians had also improved significantly. Su Qi nodded and said:
"Old sir, the weather has changed quite a lot these days. I'll give you some more medicine. I'll also give you some fumigation patches to apply to your body before going to bed every day."
Qian Daru saw that Su Qi was not happy.
He wanted to say a few words to warn Su Qi that he should also consider his reputation when treating patients and saving lives.
But when he caught sight of Ying Shi from the corner of his eye, he swallowed all the words in his heart. It was a pity that such a great scholar was so frustrated by the venomous words of a young boy.
Qian Daru was listless and didn't want to pay any attention to Su Qi.
Qian Yiqian felt a little embarrassed. "Mrs. Gu, I'll go with you to get the medicine." He gave an apologetic smile.
Su Qi didn't care about these things. If Qian Daru dared to say anything to her, the worst that could happen was that she would give him a few more injections to return him to his previous state.
As for his own illness, Su Qi ignored it.
After lingering at the Qian family for a long time, Su Qi finally got on the carriage and left.
At the gate of Gu family courtyard.
Xiao Liuzi and Gu Xiuting were waiting here.
"Ma'am, you're back." Xiao Liuzi smiled innocently. "I hunted a roe deer today and have it ready to cook in the kitchen."
Su Qi stepped down on the stool.
"There are guests coming to the mansion. Tell Xianghe to clean up a guest room in the small courtyard." Su Qi walked straight in.
"I understand."
Bai Zhi saw Zhang Xiulin about to follow Su Qi and stopped her. "Young lady, please go to the guest room first. Our mistress has something to say to the master right now, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be convenient for you to go."
Zhang Xiulin curled her lips.
"What can they say?"
"How can you and I know what's going on between husband and wife?" Bai Zhi still stopped Zhang Xiulin.
She had no choice but to follow Bai Zhi to the small courtyard.
Su Qi came to the study and told Gu Beiheng about Zhang Xiulin's situation and also about Fang Xiaoya's situation.
Gu Beiheng's pupils trembled, and anger filled his eyes. "Fang Xiaoya? Don't worry about the rest. I'll let Yingyi handle it."
"Qiqi, there are strangers in the back mountain. They are all people with great martial arts skills. Don't run around these days." Gu Beiheng reached out and hugged Su Qi in his arms, feeling the faint fragrance from Su Qi's hair.
"Is Zhang Xiulin supposed to be in contact with those people? But I can't understand why a young lady who doesn't know martial arts would be carrying a mission?"
"But if she is here for sightseeing, it would be too much of a coincidence." Gu Beiheng didn't believe that she was here for sightseeing.
He came to Mingfeng Town from Jinyang Prefecture despite the bad weather, so there must be something urgent.
"How are the people who are tracking Hulu Mountain?" Su Qi poked her head out from Gu Beiheng's arms.
Gu Beiheng shook his head, "Last time they arrived in Mingfeng Town, they lost the person."
Someone arrived at Mingfeng Town in front, and the man dressed as an official from Hulu Mountain also arrived at Mingfeng Town.
Zhang Xiulin also came to Mingfeng Town. It seems unreasonable to say that all this is just a coincidence.
