Chapter 206: Exposed Edge
"Young Master, Young Master!" The shopkeeper ran a few more steps after Jiang Lin's horse.
This time, Jiang Lin stopped and said directly, "Please give me some money, sir."
Jiang Lin thought he had misheard and looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows. The shopkeeper also felt that what he said was inappropriate, but since he had already started, he continued.
"I know you've already paid for the room, but look, there are still a few dead people in our inn. We can't afford the funeral expenses in this shabby little inn. And if others hear about it, no one will dare to come to our inn."
Jiang Lin sneered. No wonder the shopkeeper stopped him when Jiang Lin asked his men to deal with those people. He was waiting here.
"Take the money and get out!" Jiang Lin threw the purse from his arms and left without even looking at it.
After meeting up with everyone, he didn't say why he was the shopkeeper when asked, and just passed it off with a few words.
But Jiang Lin didn't know that after the shopkeeper lost sight of him, he shook his purse and curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, Qin Xiangnuan was unaware of the shopkeeper's shameless behavior, otherwise she would have to teach him a lesson on how to behave.
The appearance of the three-flower pattern made Qin Xiangnuan more alert to strangers appearing on the street.
After meeting three passersby and realizing they were just ordinary people, Qin Xiangnuan slapped her forehead and said, "I can't go on like this. I'm so scared of everything."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Qin Xiangnuan couldn't deny that these words made her heart warm, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose. Qin Xiangnuan couldn't explain why she was anxious. Normally, she was not afraid of people causing trouble, and in the past she would just deal with it head-on, but this time, she felt extremely annoyed.
Therefore, when she saw someone, she had to find out his or her identity in order to feel at ease, but Jiang Lin's words eased her uneasiness.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Qin Xiangnuan closed her eyes, "I'll think about it carefully. Call me when you get off the bus."
"Okay." Jiang Lin's eyes moved away from her face, with the same curve on the corner of his mouth.
Qin Xiangnuan wanted to close her eyes and rest, but her mind did not obey her command and her thoughts were too messy. She concentrated her attention on listening to the sounds in the carriage.
Only the breathing sounds of a few people could be heard, so Qin Xiangnuan quietly squinted her eyes and looked around, then made a bold decision.
Qin Xiangnuan entered the space in front of Jiang Lin, and could no longer hear any sounds from outside.
"Nuannuan?" Jiang Lin heard a slight collision sound and turned to Qin Xiangnuan and called softly.
She had fallen asleep. Jiang Lin moved and gently placed Qin Xiangnuan's head on his shoulder. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he did not wake her up.
Qin Xiangnuan had zero perception of the outside world at this time. She wanted to test the reaction between the body fluids remaining on the two syringes and the two poisons.
But the residual liquid was too little, so Qin Xiangnuan had to use it sparingly, and it took such a long time to just separate it.
At this time, they had arrived at the resting place outside. Usually, when the carriage stopped, the people inside would come out. Today, no one came out, so An Feng lifted the curtain.
"Nuannuan hasn't woken up yet, please pull the carriage away." Jiang Lin lowered his voice.
"yes."
Jiang Lin's arm was numb from being pressed by Qin Xiangnuan, but he didn't move at all, for fear of waking Qin Xiangnuan up.
However, Jiang Lin slowly realized that something was wrong. Qin Xiangnuan slept too soundly and for too long. Jiang Lin could still hear her breathing in his ears, but it was too weak.
"Nuannuan?" Jiang Lin held up her head, but as soon as one hand left, Qin Xiangnuan's head fell down.
Jiang Lin panicked and held her neck with both hands, "Qin Xiangnuan, wake up!"
Qin Xiangnuan was concentrating on holding the drops in her hand at this time. Suddenly she heard Jiang Lin's cry, her hand trembled, and the liquid dripped onto the glass slide containing the poison.
"Not good." Qin Xiangnuan sighed secretly. This was a critical moment, but from Jiang Lin's voice, she knew something must have gone wrong on his side. She instinctively wanted to pause everything and return to the carriage.
But when his eyes swept across the glass slide, he noticed something different, and his hand reached out to that place involuntarily, but Jiang Lin's more urgent shouts came from outside.
When Qin Xiangnuan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Jiang Lin's clean chin. Then her gaze moved upwards, sweeping across his straightened mouth corners and tense cheeks.
"Jiang Lin." Qin Xiangnuan tightened her grip and pinched Jiang Lin's shoulder.
Jiang Lin suddenly stopped and looked down at Qin Xiangnuan, "Nuannuan, you just..."
Qin Xiangnuan patted him and said, "Put me down first, I'm fine."
"But..." Jiang Lin's eyes were full of distrust, but after glancing at Qin Xiangnuan's rosy face, he still listened to her.
At this time, Jiang Lin calmed down. Qin Xiangnuan just couldn't be woken up. She seemed unconscious, but her face was not pale and she didn't look sick at all.
"I'm just too tired, that's why this happened." Qin Xiangnuan explained to Jiang Lin after she stood firm, "Did I scare you just now?"
"Are you like this often?" Jiang Lin suppressed his doubts and asked with lingering fear.
Qin Xiang smiled warmly, "Not much."
Jiang Lin nodded, "I will pay attention in the future."
Qin Xiangnuan thought to herself that there was no future. It was her fault that she was too focused on the experiment this time and did not wake up in time. She should not be too careless in the future.
Since Qin Xiangnuan was fine, they returned to the carriage and drove back to the camp.
"Nuannuan, you have been too tired these days. Let your father worry about those things. Just take a rest." When Liu heard that Qin Xiangnuan was catching up on her sleep in the carriage, she felt very distressed. When she saw Qin Xiangnuan getting off the carriage, she went to greet her.
Qin Xiangnuan held one hand tightly by Liu, and placed the other hand on Liu's back, gently stroking it. "Mom, I feel much better after a good sleep. I don't have anything to worry about. Don't worry about me too much."
Qin Guang also came over at this time and took Liu into his arms, "Nuannuan is right."
Liu turned her head and glared at him. Qin Guang quickly changed his tone and said to Qin Xiangnuan, "Your mother is right. Just tell me what you want to do. Don't tire yourself out."
"I understand. Thank you, Dad and Mom." Qin Xiangnuan responded.
Qin Feng watched from the side and couldn't help but look at his parents.
"What are you looking at me for?" Qin Wu asked with a stern face.
Qin Feng wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. Qin Xiangnuan was a woman, and she was capable of doing great things. If he dared to ask his father to help him do something, Qin Wu would definitely beat him to a pulp without mercy.
"Don't be so harsh on Feng'er." Zou looked at Qin Wu with a condemning look.
"I'm strict?" Qin Wu's momentum disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't believe what Zou said.
"Yes." Zou noticed his dissatisfaction and wanted to debate with him.
Qin Feng frowned as he watched from the side. Ever since the incident with the phantom fragrance, Zou had ignored him. No matter what he did, Zou would choose to tolerate him.
The most obvious thing is that when Qin Feng teased Qin Xiangning, Zou would not say words of humility to him, but instead persuaded Qin Xiangning that the most important thing was to have fun with her brother.
