Chapter 129 This Woman Is So Cruel
This is so weird.
How could she see those words floating in the air?
And this was the second time this happened. The first time was in Qifulou, when she and Ji Chenchuan accidentally bumped into each other.
She was shocked by her intimate behavior with Ji Chenchuan, and also by the words that floated out of the void, saying that she was not in the real world, but just a book. She was the heroine of some kind of abusive novel, and Xiao Yuan was the one who only realized who he loved after his wife died, and ended up in the crematorium of chasing his wife.
It had been nearly a month since the incident, and her life hadn't changed or been affected in any way. Also, the empty words above weren't entirely true, so she didn't care or take it to heart.
But this time, the word "void" appeared again, and it appeared when Ji Chenchuan carried her into the room. The opportunity for the word "void" to appear was similar to the last time.
In other words, as long as she and Ji Chenchuan are very close, the virtual word will appear, and only she can see it, no one else can see it.
She doesn't need to pay attention to the last word "virtual". After all, she is a reborn person now. The word "virtual" refers to the things of the previous life. Therefore, she will never go down the same old path again.
But the empty words on this day were different. It said that Ji Chenchuan was in trouble, and Ji Ziming was trying to harm him for the position of the crown prince. His life and death were uncertain and it was extremely dangerous. It was also said that the old lady of Wu'an Marquis had no way to help him. In the end, the emperor had to ask the queen for help and got a life-saving pill from the queen to resolve the crisis.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, it would not be wrong to let Ji Chenchuan be on guard. Moreover, she seemed to feel that what was said in the word "false" was true.
Because at this time in her previous life, Qi hadn't bothered her or her aunt. She even wanted to buy some new fabric to make a summer dress for her aunt. In the past, Qi would have definitely refused, but she had so graciously agreed. Meanwhile, when she went to Jianjia Courtyard, she clearly sensed something was amiss, as if something major had happened.
Now that I think about it, it must be Ji Chenchuan who got into trouble.
Ji Chenchuan is Lin Yingxue's fiancé, and they will get married in two months. Even though Qi doesn't want Lin Yingxue to marry into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, if Ji Chenchuan dies at this time, Lin Yingxue may be labeled as a husband-killer, which is not good for her reputation. Although Ji Chenchuan's health was not good to begin with, those ladies who look down on Qi and have grudges against her will not care about these things.
Therefore, at that time, Qi was only concerned about whether Ji Chenchuan was dead or alive and whether her daughter's reputation would be ruined. How could she care whether the concubine bought fabric and made summer skirts?
This also happened to correspond to the words in the void this time, so she felt that this was true.
After saying that, Lin Qingjun turned around and was about to leave.
Qingshan called out to him.
Lin Qingjun turned around and frowned, "Anything else?"
Qingshan was extremely embarrassed. He stammered, "Ms. Lin, Second Miss Lin, you, don't you have anything to say to my young master?"
She just left like that? Without leaving a single word for his son?
If he went back like this, the prince would probably cry again, right? So, it would be better to leave a message, so that he could report to his superiors, right?
Lin Qingjun thought about it and realized that there really was one. If she hadn't told her, she would have forgotten it.
Qingshan was delighted. As expected, she had something else to say.
But when Lin Qingjun said, "Calculate the expenses for your master to live in Qijun Courtyard. It's not much. Let's count it as fifty taels of silver."
What?
Qingshan was completely stunned.
Miss Lin Er pondered for a long moment, stunned. Finally, she actually asked the young master for expenses? She, didn't she have anything else to say to the young master? Like, "The young master is handsome and elegant, and the man is as beautiful as jade. I've been in love with him for a long time, and I wish to grow old with him."
But when Qingshan came to his senses, Lin Qingjun had already walked away.
Qingshan sighed. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the truth.
Sure enough, he saw that his master's face was full of injuries.
Ji Chenchuan's heart sank to the bottom.
"This woman really has no conscience."
His sincerity wasn't worth the fifty taels of silver? Could the feelings between them be measured in silver? Was there no trace of him in her heart?
Besides, why is he only worth fifty taels?
"Fifty taels, is that a lot?"
The silver notes he had on him were all worth at least one hundred taels.
Ji Chenchuan looked at Qingshan steadily and asked again, "Is fifty taels a lot?"
ah?
Qingshan was so frightened that he froze on the ground. Why was he asking him? Wasn't he going to ask Miss Lin Er? He looked at Lushui beside him for help.
Lu Shui suddenly turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Qingshan gritted his teeth secretly. He is indeed a good brother. Why doesn’t he help in times of crisis?
He could only bite the bullet and say again, "Prince, no, not much... But Prince, I don't think Miss Lin means that. Look, if she really didn't care about you, how could she let you stay in her boudoir? How could she take care of you when you had a high fever? And she wouldn't let you take Concubine Liu's pills."
Doesn't all of this prove that Miss Lin has him in her heart?
After hearing this, Ji Chenchuan was still in a bad mood.
"Then why does she want fifty taels?"
this?
Qingshan was completely stunned. He really couldn't answer.
Lu Shui said at the right moment, "Sir, perhaps in your eyes, those fifty taels are nothing, but to Miss Lin, those fifty taels could be a huge sum. Think about it, Miss Lin's monthly allowance is only a mere one and a half taels of silver, right?"
One and a half taels of silver, it’s a blessing that Qi can afford it.
The first-class maids in other courtyards have two to three taels of monthly silver, and the better housekeepers in the mansion also have five taels of monthly silver. Although Miss Lin Er is a concubine's daughter, she is not even as good as the servants. Moreover, she has to use this one and a half taels of monthly silver to buy medicine, needles and thread, and cloth for her concubine. This is not enough.
Therefore, the fifty taels was not a small amount for her.
When Ji Chenchuan heard this, his expression improved.
"In that case, we'll give her fifty taels."
but.
"I was careless. How could I have eaten and drunk for free? Why didn't I think of leaving some money?"
"Qingjun is a girl, so thin-skinned. How could she bring up this matter on her own initiative?"
"I was wrong. I was too careless. I will never do that again in the future."
Ji Chenchuan began to blame himself.
However, when Qingshan Lushui heard this, he was about to vomit blood again.
yes.
The prince did not leave any silver, but he left something better than silver.
He knew that it was Aunt Liu who gave him the life-saving medicine when he had a high fever that day, so when the prince left, he also left him the pills that could cure all poisons.
That one is worth more than a thousand gold.
"What are you two still doing here? Why don't you go and open my warehouse?" Ji Chenchuan said again.
Open a warehouse?
Qingshan Lushui was shocked again. Those were the hairs left by the deceased second master and second mistress for the prince to marry in the future. Even the old lady did not dare to touch a single hair in the prince's warehouse.
Now, he actually wants to open the warehouse just to pay the fifty taels of expenses for Miss Lin Er?
They are numb.
