Chapter 213 She didn’t understand why Yuan Xi came to buy this kind of thing?
How could she have the spare money to come to Guancheng to buy things? Puzzled, Ruan Qing went to the shop and saw that she was holding what looked like some incense.
After seeing the same incense, she asked the boss what it was.
The boss saw that she still looked like a girl and spoke meaningfully.
"Girl, are you sure you want this? You didn't buy this thing, did you?"
Ruan Qing frowned and said in a tough tone, "What are you talking about? Since you're selling it here, why can't I buy it? Besides, I don't even know what it is. How do you know I won't buy it?"
The shopkeeper laughed heartily and teased her, "This is for couples to use in their love affairs. It has a pleasant fragrance and adds to the fun. Miss, you are not married yet, are you?"
Ruan Qing paused, his ears slightly red, and he turned around and walked out, muttering to himself, leaving the place at a rapid pace.
She didn't understand why Yuan Xi bought this thing.
Later, she helped in the herbal medicine shop for a while, until Yuan Xi came to find them, Ruan Qing suddenly came back to her senses and looked over.
"Miss Yuan? Why are you here?"
Yuan Xi smiled slightly, looked around the herbal medicine shop, and asked her, "I feel a little unwell and wanted to come over to see where Miss Ruan Qing's brother is."
Ruan Qing frowned and said with some caution.
"Why are you looking for my brother for medical treatment? Besides, we don't know you well. If you really want to see a doctor, don't buy on credit! We don't sell on credit in our shop!"
Yuan Xi's face stiffened, and he showed bitterness as he spoke with grievance.
"Miss Ruan Qing, please don't misunderstand me. Although I used to be close to the Qi family, that was because I was sold into their family as a slave when I was young! I... had no choice."
"Now that they have received their retribution, I am free and just want to live a good life."
After she finished speaking, she squeezed out two tears. The shopkeeper beside her was unaware of the situation and just felt sorry for her.
But Ruan Qing remained calm. Although he spoke in a bad tone, he did not make things difficult for her.
"What's the point of you crying in front of me? My sister said that everyone has their own destiny. If you are not satisfied with your own fate, you are the only one who can change it!"
"It's your own fault for not fighting for it. It's no use complaining to anyone now."
She tried to ignore the sight and went to help with the work.
But a lot of thoughts arose in my mind.
She came to see her brother for no reason, as she had no contact with her family on weekdays.
At this time, Ruan Qing remembered some of the words that Nanny Fang had said.
At that time, they were still on the road of exile. Whether it was Ruan Jiao or the concubine Chen from the Bo Mansion who had died long ago, they had no one to rely on and were trying to rely on others.
Not long after this thought came to her mind, Ruan Qing returned to her room at night and was planning to ask Nanny Fang about it. However, as soon as she went out, she saw her brother taking some things out.
After asking, I learned that he was planning to leave for Xingjia tomorrow.
"Your sister is a girl after all. My mother is worried, and neither am I. So I planned to go to Xingjia to pick her up. This afternoon, I asked Minister Dong to convey my message to General Huo. Tomorrow, when we pass by Longchang Post Station, someone will take me out of the city."
Thinking about setting off tomorrow, I will go to the hot spring to wash up tonight.
When Ruan Qing saw that he was carrying some clothes, she smiled and pushed him back: "Brother, why do you have to go so far? Can't I just boil some hot water for you?"
Ruan Qingsong looked puzzled: "How can I ask you to boil water for me? Setting up a stove and fetching water is such a hassle!"
"It's not a big deal! Besides, when I went to deliver clothes to my father today, I heard a sorcerer say that it's not a good time to go out tonight."
Ruan Qingsong didn't believe it. At this moment, Mr. Xue sent some vegetables to their family. A lot of vegetables were harvested from the fields, and he wanted to distribute some to each household.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing had an idea: "Grandpa Xue! You've come just in time! My brother is going to Xingjia to visit my sister tomorrow. Didn't you say you wanted to discuss building a private school? Don't waste time, let's discuss it in detail tonight."
When the old man heard this, he immediately came over and said, "A Song, are you going to Xingjia tomorrow?"
After seeing him nod, the old man thought about it and said, "I don't know how many days it will take me to return this time. I have to discuss the private school matter with you tonight."
In this way, Ruan Qingsong was pushed into the house by Ruan Qing. After coming out again, Ruan Qing went straight to where Yun Xiu lived.
At the same time, the night wind swept across with a chill.
At the hot spring, mist is swirling and hot water is constantly overflowing the pool.
Yuan Xi changed into a light dress and smeared rouge and powder on her face to hide her usual haggard and dirty appearance. It was a pity that it was only late autumn, but winter was already approaching, and the night wind was chilly.
She was shivering from the cold!
But when she thought about the good future she could get by gamble everything, she didn't care about that anymore.
Now Liu was burned to death, Qi Nanfeng's whereabouts are unknown, and the other servants of the Qi Mansion have long since parted ways.
She left nothing behind. The copper coins she used to buy the clothes and powder were earned by pawning her hairpins.
Now she has no one to rely on, and she can only have a chance of survival by fighting desperately and clinging to a good family.
Looking throughout the village, there is no one better than Mr. Ruan.
Whether in terms of character, academic performance, appearance, or family status, they are all first-class.
Even if he was Ruan Mian's brother, so what? If I could gain his brother's favor, no matter how much Ruan Mian hated me, he couldn't do anything to me!
Thinking of this, she felt as if energy was rising in her chest.
She saw that it was almost time, the moon was hidden in the clouds, and everything around was pitch black.
He quickly sprinkled some of the scented powder in the sachet everywhere, especially around the pool, covering a whole circle.
As the smell of the incense powder came over, Yuan Xi gradually felt his feet become light.
The longer she waited, the more blurred her consciousness became.
After realizing what was happening, he thought to himself that the powder was very effective and that he had been poisoned as well. He tried to use his remaining rationality to get up.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw a man walking towards me from a distance.
Yuan Xi was suddenly delighted. When the man approached and entered the pool, she immediately fell from the bushes into the water and was caught in the man's arms.
Yuan Xi was in a trance, as if she saw Ruan Qingsong, whom she had been thinking about, and her hands climbed up to him: "My dear..."
Her words were charming and her figure was even more delicate and boneless. Before the man could get over his surprise, he was frightened by the woman who threw herself into his arms.
But at this moment, his heart was churning, and he struggled a little. In the end, he couldn't resist the warmth and softness, so he hugged Yuan Xi into his arms, and the two of them went into this warm hot spring together...
The next morning.
Chen packed Ruan Qingsong's luggage, and Zhang prepared a lot of dry food for him to eat on the road.
And Jing'er can now babble.
