Chapter 353: Weird
Siyue carried the person and walked towards the gate with Chu Liuzheng, and warned as they walked: "Sister, if you encounter something like this next time, remember to tell me and Chenxing. Tell the guards when we are not here. Don't come here by yourself."
When it comes to personal safety, Chu Liuzheng is still very obedient and nods obediently.
Feng Jingdu put the medicine back into the house, but still couldn't find the two men, so he went out to look for them. He saw Siyue carrying a man in black and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where did you pick him up from?"
He sniffed: "The bloody smell is so strong, the injury must be serious."
"It's in the alley on the right. This man claims to be the Qin family's steward. He suddenly appeared here and might know something." Si Yue explained briefly and carried the man to the guest room for treatment.
Feng Jing saw that he was of no use to him, so he said to Chu Liuzheng, "Let's go see the young master first."
"Yeah." Chu Liuzheng nodded and walked towards the main courtyard with him.
In the main courtyard, Xiao Jingfan was just about to have dinner when he heard the announcement and let the two in.
Chu Liuzheng originally thought that this gentleman was ill, but why did he look so well?
"You're back." Xiao Jingfan glanced at the food box she was carrying and thought to himself, did she take some more food with her after eating?
Is the food outside so delicious?
[Why does the tyrant's tone sound a bit sarcastic? ]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Chu Liuzheng secretly looked at his expression and felt that he must have heard it wrong. How could the boss be so sarcastic?
"Master, you are eating." Feng Jing was tempted by the food on the table and smiled innocently, "We rushed back in a hurry and didn't have time to eat a single bite."
Xiao Jingfan understood the implied meaning of his words. He glanced at the nosy Zhou Yuande and ordered someone to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Chu Liuzheng didn't expect that she would get a share. Eunuch Zhou was still standing. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to sit down and eat?
Feng Jing, however, was sitting comfortably. Seeing Chu Liuzheng still standing, he raised his hand and beckoned him, "Come and sit down. You said you were hungry while you were gnawing on the chicken feet. You don't seem to be in a hurry to eat now."
Xiao Jingfan also looked up, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Are the dishes on the table not to your taste?"
Chu Liuzheng felt the boss's cold gaze and was so scared that he sat down.
Xiao Jingfan ordered someone to send the food box to the kitchen, heat up the dishes inside, and place them in front of Chu Liuzheng.
These were clearly his favorite dishes, but Xiao Jingfan's occasional glances at him made Chu Liuzheng inexplicably find the food difficult to swallow and tasted like wax. His hands almost trembled as he picked up the food.
[Boo~ Eating with others costs money, but eating with the emperor shortens your life. What did I do to offend the tyrant?]
She lowered her head and counted the rice grains in the bowl, puzzled.
The only one who was not affected was the carefree Feng Jing. After he had some food in his stomach, he finally remembered to ask, "Master, why did you send people to look for us so anxiously?"
"Master Qin is dead." Xiao Jingfan said while glancing at Zhou Yuande, which made Zhou Yuande's heart tremble. He really didn't falsify the imperial edict!
"Dead?" Chu Liuzheng and Feng Jing were both shocked and asked in unison, "How did he die?"
Xiao Jingfan didn't really want to talk about life and death at the dinner table, as it was too unappetizing.
He winked at Zhou Yuande, who immediately replied, "It's said he choked to death on plums."
Feng Jing sighed, "What an unfortunate way to die."
Chu Liuzheng deeply agreed with this.
Feng Jing was about to ask more detailed questions when Chu Liuzheng suddenly kicked him from under the table and winked at him.
Didn't you see that gentleman's face was already dark? If you ask any more, he would definitely put down his chopsticks.
Feng Jing had no choice but to shut up and concentrate on eating.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other right under his nose, Xiao Jingfan's already poor appetite was completely gone. He put down his chopsticks after taking only two bites, his eyelids drooping and his eyelashes casting a shadow on his eyelids.
Seeing this, Chu Liuzheng very skillfully served him a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup, with more yam and pork ribs and less soup, focusing on its substantial taste.
In the palace, this is how she tricks the emperor when he doesn't want to eat... No, this is how she serves him.
"This soup is good, please try it."
"How do you know if you haven't eaten it yet..." Before Feng Jing could finish his words, Chu Liuzheng kicked him under the table again.
This time, the kick happened to hit his shin bone, causing him to almost jump up in pain. He grinned and praised, "Yes, the soup is delicious, delicious, especially delicious."
He glared at Chu Liuzheng secretly, thinking, "You're going to get angry with me again!"
Chu Liuzheng quickly picked up a chicken leg for him to apologize.
Looking at the two, Xiao Jingfan suddenly stood up and said, "You guys eat, I'm going to go for a walk in the yard."
He didn't even touch the soup in front of him.
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[He didn't even drink the soup. Is the tyrant so averse to mentioning the dead while eating?]
Feng Jing looked at her while biting the chicken leg. Don’t blame me. Is there any other way?
Chu Liuzheng looked at the culprit and sighed softly.
There is no other way now, let’s talk about it later.
According to etiquette, once the emperor had put down his chopsticks, Chu Liuzheng and Feng Jing were not allowed to pick up their chopsticks. However, this was not the palace, so there were no such strict rules. Xiao Jingfan also ordered the two to continue eating, and they did so.
Xiao Jingfan walked around, but no one came out to persuade him.
After walking around twice, no one came out to persuade me.
A breath of depressed anger was stuck in his heart, and his face looked even uglier.
Zhou Yuande followed closely, knowing where the problem lay, but afraid that he couldn't persuade the right person, so he simply said nothing and quietly acted like a breathing shadow.
When Siyue came over, he saw his master standing in the yard admiring the moon. He didn't know if it was the moonlight or the lantern, but his face didn't look very good.
She hesitated for a moment but still walked over and reported that she had discovered the Qin family's housekeeper lurking outside the Du family's house.
"He's awake now, do you want to see him?"
"Bring him here." Xiao Jingfan nodded and sent someone to call Du Qian over.
After a while, both of them arrived.
The man in black had several knife wounds on his body, two of which were on his legs. The wounds were quite deep and bled when he exerted force. He was carried here on a stretcher by two servants.
Du Qian recognized him as soon as he saw him. This man was indeed Qin Mansion's housekeeper Fu Bo. He had seen him when he went to Qin Mansion to congratulate them on their new house.
He walked over and said with concern: "Uncle Fu, how did you get hurt like this?"
"Master Du, please save my master!" Uncle Fu struggled to get up and reached out to grab the hem of Du Qian's clothes.
As he moved, blood began to flow from the wound that had just been bandaged, staining the gauze red.
Du Qian was stunned. Wasn't Master Qin already dead? How could he save the dead?
"Don't worry, lie down first." He reached out to help Uncle Fu lie back down, patting his arm soothingly. "You asked me to save Brother Qin, is Brother Qin still alive?"
Uncle Fu nodded and looked at him: "The master was just locked up by them. The dead man lying in the coffin is not the master!"
He grabbed Du Qian's hand and said anxiously, "Master Du, you are the only one who can save my master now. Please help me for the sake of our past friendship!"
Du Qian frowned. He thought he and Master Qin were just friends who had a few meals together. Why did he come to him for help instead of reporting such a life-threatening matter to the authorities? How could this be possible?
