Chapter 5: Catching a Traitor



When Chen Ling heard this, she felt something was wrong. "What else do you want to solve?"

"I've been ill for two years, so naturally I have a lot of things to deal with." Jian Ci lowered her head to drink water, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Chen Ling couldn't help but get anxious. "But you clearly told the old man that you should have a good rest after recovering from a serious illness. How could you...how could you lie to the old man!"

Jian Ci was very calm. "How could I lie to him? I'm back in Kyoto, the marriage is already arranged, and I've done everything according to his wishes. As for the rest, I don't care."

Chen Ling wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jian Ci: "Alright, keep this a secret for me and don't tell the old man."

God knows how strictly the old man has been watching over her since she fell ill, wanting to keep her by his side.

Jian Ci just found it funny, "Senior Sister, it's just a cold and fever, don't make it sound like I have some terminal illness."

Chen Ling was anxious and blurted out: "What kind of cold or fever are you talking about? You clearly have..."

Jian Ci: “…”

I suspect you're kidding me, but I have no proof.

"Yes, it's a bad cold! Don't forget how long you were lying in bed with that bad cold! So you can't overwork yourself, you must get enough rest!"

After Chen Ling said this while pretending to be calm, she ran away.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like he's running away.

Jian Ci looked at her deeply, then opened WeChat and stared at the number she had added not long ago.

How can I get Qin Shizheng to agree to come for this meal?
