Shang Xingjian's heart was beating like a drum. Only he knew about this secret matter, and no one else knew about it.
Even the mother who was closest to me didn't know about it.
How did Miss Su find out?
Su Wanti seemed to see through his thoughts and said slowly, "I know the answer by looking at your face and taking your pulse."
Shang Xingjian was surprised when a young woman revealed his secret, which he could not tell anyone. His eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was trying to avoid her.
After a moment, he raised his eyes, his clear and handsome eyes tinged with shyness as he looked at Su Wanti.
"Can the girl be cured?"
"I can cure it." Su Wanti's eyes were calm and confident, without a trace of shyness. "Young Master's hidden illness is not congenital, but is caused by some acquired factors. If you can escort my family safely to Luzhou, I can cure your hidden illness and make you vigorous and powerful, and your spear will not…"
Before she could utter the word "倒", Shang Xingjian interrupted her hurriedly.
"Okay, it's a deal." His pale face suddenly turned red again.
Like the rising sun, the morning light dyed his cheeks.
An Jing was completely confused by their conversation. "Sir, you have a hidden illness? What kind of illness is it? How come I don't know about it?"
"Nothing." Shang Xingjian waved his hand, unwilling to say more.
An Jing didn't get an answer, so he turned to look at Su Wanti.
Seeing Su Wanti looking at him with a smile, An Jing's heart trembled, "Um, girl, why are you looking at me? Do I have a hidden illness too?"
Su Wanti shook her head. "This young master has quite a bit of banknotes on him!"
An Jing was sitting, and he subconsciously moved his feet back.
"I only brought 20,000 taels..."
His mother said that one should not show off his wealth when he is outside, so he hid the banknotes in his shoes.
He didn't know the girl's purpose, so he didn't dare to tell the truth.
"In our small village, people are not rich and it is hard to find sellers. It is not easy to sell houses and fields within two days. If the houses and fields cannot be sold, I can't leave with peace of mind..." Su Wanti's eyes were bright and her tone was calm.
An Jing swallowed his saliva and said, "What the girl means is..."
Su Wanti smiled slightly, "Why don't you buy my property and yard? That way we can get on the road as soon as possible, right?"
"We've only been friends for two days, so I'll only charge you 10,000 taels, is that okay?"
Shang Xing thought briefly and said, "An Jing, give the young lady another ten thousand."
An Jing was a little hesitant. He still had a lot of banknotes and he didn't mind spending ten thousand taels of silver. He just didn't understand why he needed the house and fields in this small mountain valley when his family was in the capital.
Buying this piece of land is not as good as throwing money into the water, at least you can hear the sound.
"Sir, why should I buy it? Can I still come back and live here?"
Shang Xingjian said sternly, "What I'm buying isn't the house or the land, but the opportunity to start my journey one day earlier."
An Jing pursed his lips and said, "Okay."
He turned around, took off his shoes, and took out a silver note.
"Girl, I'll buy your house and land." He turned around and handed over the banknote.
Su Wanti didn't show any disdain. She took the banknote and said readily, "I'll bring you the house deed and land deed in a moment."
"Young Master, my house and land will now belong to you. Can you protect them from being occupied by outsiders?"
These words were spoken to An Jing, but Su Wanti was looking at Shang Xingjian while she was speaking.
She knew that Shang Xingjian's secret guards had found him. He only needed to move his fingers and arrange for someone to guard the yard, and her family's property and land would not be occupied by some villagers.
Shang Xingjian met Su Wanti's gaze and nodded.
The woman's gaze just now made Shang Xingjian realize that she had guessed the master-servant relationship between him and An Jing.
This girl is quite perceptive, he thought.
What Miss Su asked her to do is not difficult to do. Just ask Changliu to find two strong men who know martial arts to look after the house.
Then I can slowly get rid of this yard and the matter will be over.
This not only saves time on the journey, but also satisfies Miss Su's wish of not wanting her family property to be occupied by outsiders.
Now all obstacles are cleared, we just need to set off.
"Miss, when are we leaving?" Shang Xingjian asked.
Su Wanti said, "We can set off early tomorrow morning."
"We two can pretend to be the girl's brothers."
"Sir, I have a better plan."
"Young lady, please speak."
The early morning sunlight shone through the oil paper, lighting up the small herbal medicine house.
Shang Xingjian could see the woman's clear and bright almond-shaped eyes. Those lively almond-shaped eyes were rippling with water waves, and contained vigorous vitality.
The woman's rosy lips parted slightly, "You and I will pretend to be husband and wife, and he will pretend to be your brother."
"How am I supposed to tell my family about you two pretending to be my brothers?"
"I think it's best not to tell my family about this. My mother is simple-minded, and my siblings are young. If I accidentally reveal this to outsiders, it will be troublesome."
"I said, I met you when I was studying medicine in the county town, and we fell in love with each other and wanted to be together forever."
"Your family is in Luzhou. You are here to take me and my family to settle down in Luzhou. After we settle down, we will get married."
"Besides, since we're husband and wife, it will be convenient for me to treat your hidden illness while on the road..."
Shang Xingjian's face flushed again, and he whispered, "Okay."
