Chapter 213 Did you have a fight?
Chen Wu asked him who the benefactor he was talking about was, but the other party refused to reveal it no matter what.
Before Chen Wu could hesitate, the shopkeeper said urgently, "Master Chen, I've been entrusted with this mission. I beg you to show me your kindness, or I won't be able to complete my mission... I promise to arrange the best rooms for you, Master, and prepare the best food and wine..."
The other officials heard this and took the opportunity to instigate, saying, "Boss, we've been living in the open air all this way, and our food and lodging are extremely simple. It's so rare that someone invites us to dinner, it would be a waste if we don't stay. Even if we take a step back, we have the emperor's order. Even General Naqu would respect us, so no one would dare to cheat us..."
After hearing this, Chen Wu did not refuse any more and agreed.
The shopkeeper immediately and attentively led everyone to the VIP building. He selected several of the best rooms and allocated them to Chen Wu and other officials. Then he looked at the exile group and asked quietly, "Sir, are there Miss Qin and Miss Shen in there? The nobleman who paid the bill specifically instructed us to treat them well..."
Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, but he already understood in his heart. No wonder someone treated them so politely. It turned out that it was because of Madam Qin and Madam Shen.
Chen Wu asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, who is this distinguished person you are talking about? Could you tell me a little bit?"
The shopkeeper was very tight-lipped and said, "Master Chen, please don't embarrass me. I will know the answer later..."
After saying that, he made an excuse to go to the kitchen to see if the food and wine were ready, and left in a hurry.
Chen Wu immediately arranged Qin Mengyue, Shen Fenghe and the three little ones in the superior rooms. As for the other prisoners, they were naturally placed in ordinary guest rooms, with four or five people in one room.
Even so, it was much better than sleeping in a large dormitory before. Plus, there was a sumptuous meal prepared by the kitchen, so everyone was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
Chen Fenghe calculated the time. It was already the third day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year would be here in less than a month.
After dinner, Qin Mengyue couldn't help but ask, "Feng He, did you and...Mr. Yun have a fight?"
Although it was a private place with no outsiders around, Qin Mengyue still hesitated and did not mention Xiao Yunshuo's name.
These little guys are still young. If they hear it and tell others what they say without restraint, it will be bad if it is heard by someone with ulterior motives.
And also be careful that walls have ears.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help feeling a little guilty, remembering that after she fell off the cart during the day, Xiao Yunshuo went to ride a horse and no longer rode in the mule cart with her.
Qin Mengyue must have seen it from here, right?
"Mom, it's nothing. Master Yun saw me fall off the car and was worried that I would be squeezed, so he went to ride his horse. There was no quarrel..." Chen Fenghe evaded the question.
Qin Mengyue looked at her and said, "That's good. This... fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Only when you two are well, mother can feel at ease..."
Chen Fenghe had no choice but to continue smiling and said, "Mom, I know."
The matter was settled.
However, Chen Fenghe recalled that the two had not spoken to each other since Xiao Yunshuo went horseback riding - no, more than just talking, she bet that Xiao Yunshuo had not even looked at her since then.
Although this was more or less what she wanted - to keep a distance, but thinking that the poison in his body still needed her treatment, after dinner, she said goodbye to Qin Mengyue and went out to deliver medicine to Xiao Yunshuo.
The room where Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu lived was naturally the upper room, and Chen Fenghe arrived at the door.
In the past, Yuan Xu would let her into the room and then go out to stand guard on his own accord.
This time, he took the food box containing the medicine for the first time, and said with some embarrassment: "Madam Shen... the young master said he has gone to bed, please give me the medicine."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
"Okay then. Tell him to remember to drink it while it's hot." Chen Fenghe instructed.
The poison had almost reached its end, but it was also in the most intense stage of its struggle and counterattack, so the medicine she prepared was a bit more toxic than before, which meant that after Xiao Yunshuo drank it, the pain he would suffer would be several times stronger than before.
Thinking of this, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have avoided suspicion so obviously during the day.
At least... we should wait until the poison in his body is completely cured...
However, now that things have come to this, we can only wait for him to calm down.
At this time, on Qin Mengyue's side.
As soon as Chen Fenghe left, Qian Qiuyun and Liu Cui appeared at the door and knocked on it. "Are you still awake, elder sister? Second and third sisters-in-law want to see you..."
Qin Mengyue's face turned cold when she heard the two voices. She didn't want to pay any attention to them, but Qian Qiuyun was shameless. Seeing that there was no movement in the room, she immediately knocked on the door again.
Qin Mengyue glanced at the three little ones who were already asleep on the bed but turned over because of the knocking on the door. She knew that if she ignored them, they would definitely continue knocking and wake the three little ones up. So she sighed, got up and opened the door a crack.
"Who is your eldest sister? We've already severed ties, so any second or third sister-in-law is as good as dead. Don't try to get close to her! Is there something wrong?"
Qian Qiuyun's face turned pale and blue, but she didn't dare to say anything more. When she saw the door open, she immediately pushed it open and went in.
Qin Mengyue was prepared. She used a table to block the door and used her own strength to prevent Qian Qiuyun from squeezing in.
"If you have something to say, what are you doing here?"
Qian Qiuyun's face flashed with anger for a moment, but she quickly concealed it. With a smile on her face, she said, "Big sister, it's not appropriate to say this outside the door. If someone hears it, it won't be good for you..."
Qin Mengyue's face turned even colder when she heard this. She scolded, "Qian Qiuyun, what dirty talk are you making up about me? I, Qin Mengyue, am a decent person. If anyone hears what I've done, it would be bad for me. If it's just dirty talk, you'd better not say it, or you'll bring shame upon yourself!"
After hearing this, Qian Qiuyun hurriedly smiled and slapped herself in the face, saying, "Big sister, look at my second sister-in-law... Alas... Look at how nagging I am... Can't I just stop calling myself the second sister-in-law? We came here to ask Big sister, does Big sister know who arranged this inn tonight?"
Liu Cui couldn't help but chime in with a smile on her face, "Big sister, if you knew, you would definitely be happy."
Qin Mengyue heard the hidden meaning in the words, but it was obviously not a good one. Her brows could not help but frowned and sneered, "Bah! Who arranged it? What does it have to do with me? Why should I be happy? You should go tell Master Chen, right?"
As he said that, he was about to close the door.
Seeing that Qin Mengyue was unmoved, Qian Qiuyun couldn't help but get anxious. She quickly squeezed her foot into the crack of the door, successfully squeezing it so hard that she started to scream. As she screamed, she hurriedly said, "Sister, the noble man who arranged this inn is General Qu. General Qu did all this for you!"
