Chapter 119: Avoid the sharp edge

The county head of Jiacheng County returned a salute and explained to Qi Heng why she was here. "Since I came down the mountain from Yanqing Temple, I haven't seen the young master's carriage. I thought he had returned home, but I didn't expect to see him here again. I love the crispy duck in Judelou, so I sent someone to buy it. I happened to see Miss He flirting with the young master."

The county head of Jiacheng County was very surprised to see Qi Heng, and she also felt that the two of them had a connection. She wanted to send someone to invite Qi Heng to sit in the teahouse for a while, but she saw He Qingmei, who was wearing a veil, flirting with Qi Heng. She listened for a long time from behind and was almost mad at He Qingmei's shamelessness. Then she stood up and spoke.

He Qingmei covered her face with a veil, wondering how the Lady of Jiacheng County knew that she had a rash on her face. After meeting the young master that day, she returned home. She didn't know if she had eaten something by mistake or touched some stolen goods, but a rash appeared on her face. She asked a doctor to see her, but he only said that it might be caused by food incompatibility or allergies to pollen or food. But in the end, there was no conclusion. He only prescribed medicine for her to take. After taking the medicine, the rash on her face improved. She wanted to try her luck on the street to see if she could meet the young master. Her efforts paid off, and she finally met him.

But only her family knew about her rash. He Qingmei could not tell where the Lady of Jiacheng County got the news. She could sense that something was wrong. However, given the status of Jiacheng County Lord, He Qingmei did not want to confront him head-on, so she did not answer the County Lord.

Qi Heng felt that Jiacheng County Lord's words were inappropriate, and in public, he had to give Miss He some face, but according to the girl's temper, Qi Heng did not dare to speak for her, for fear that she would think that he was helping her out.

Qi Heng only responded to the Lord of Jiacheng County, "I just wanted to buy some food, so I came to Zhouqiao Street. Since the Lord of Jiacheng still wants to buy this crispy duck, I will not disturb you. I will go look somewhere else." Qi Heng said goodbye to the Lord of Jiacheng County, nodded slightly to He Qingmei, and hurried back to the carriage. Without further delay, he asked Buwei to drive away.

He Qingmei watched the carriage go away, glanced in the direction of the Lord of Jiacheng County, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. If it weren't for her arrival, she could have stayed with the young master for a while longer.

Similarly, looking at the carriage going away, the Lord of Jiacheng County retracted his gaze and fell on He Qingmei's veil. The aura on his body was eerie, and the words he uttered were also chilling.

"Miss He really has never learned her lesson. The rash on her face hasn't even subsided yet, but she's already thinking about going out to hook up with someone. She doesn't even look at herself now, it's really disgusting!"

The words of Jiacheng County Lord confirmed to He Qingmei that the rash on her face was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose, and that person was Jiacheng County Lord! Seeing how gentle and submissive she was to the young master today, she probably has different thoughts about the young master, no wonder she targeted herself like this.

Although He Qingmei was jealous of Jiacheng County Lord's identity, she would not give up on Qi Heng! He Qingmei did not want to confront Jiacheng County Lord head-on, and no matter what Jiacheng County Lord said, she remained motionless.

Seeing He Qingmei's stubborn look, not only did the anger not dissipate because of her silence, but she became even more annoyed and angry because she didn't vent her anger. She didn't say much to He Qingmei on the street, which was really beneath her status, and she sentenced her to death in her heart. Let's talk about the ready-made

clothing shop again. Minglan measured her body and went out to look for Qi Heng, but found that he was gone, so she stood outside the door waiting. After waiting for a long time, no one came back, so she took Xiaotao in and picked out two sets of clothes for daily wear, but Qi Heng still didn't come back. Minglan stood outside the door again, her heart was already surging with anger, and she thought that if Qi Heng didn't come back, she would go back to Sheng Mansion with Xiaotao.

Qi Heng came back just as they were fuming. Minglan wanted to ignore him, but seeing that he looked panicked, she was afraid that he had encountered something, so she couldn't help but care, "Where has Brother Yuanruo been? Why does he look so unhappy?"

Qi Heng did not hide anything and told Minglan about what happened just now. Minglan was shocked, "This Miss He is mentally ill!" She learned the word "mental illness" from Mingxi. Whenever Mingxi met someone with unusual behavior, she would silently spit out this word, and Minglan also learned it.

Minglan didn't blame Qi Heng for coming back late. The two quickly separated. Minglan urged Qi Heng to return home quickly and not to be entangled by He Qingmei. If she really was a mental patient, it would be too bad.

After Minglan returned home, she told Mingxi what happened with Qi Heng.

"Then He Qingmei wore a veil because she had a rash?" Mingxi quickly grasped the key point after hearing this. Minglan

nodded, "That's what Brother Yuanruo said."

"If it wasn't for Jiacheng County Lord pointing out that He Qingmei had a rash, Qi Heng wouldn't have noticed it, right?" Mingxi raised the doubt again, and Minglan nodded again.

"Then how did Jiacheng County Lord know about it?" With the God's perspective from watching the drama before, Mingxi knew very well that Jiacheng County Lord was a ruthless character. He Qingmei stopped Qi Heng on the street and said something. Jiacheng County Lord could not have been unaware of it. Mingxi knew Jiacheng County Lord's attitude towards his rivals. He would rather destroy them than not, and acted recklessly. Giving He Qingmei some medicine to cause a rash was already a gentle measure.

Mingxi asked, and Minglan also keenly noticed the doubts.

Mingxi saw that Minglan was a little uneasy. Although she was also worried about Minglan, after all, the Lord of Jiacheng County was cruel, but there was a solution. The issue of succession had already progressed to a white-hot stage and would be concluded soon. Then the Yongwang family would not be able to jump around for long. Minglan only needed to keep a low profile for a while and avoid the Lord of Jiacheng County. Minglan did a good job in Yanqing Temple today.

Thinking about it, Mingxi patted Minglan on the shoulder and comforted her, "It is certain that the Princess of Jiacheng County loves Qi Heng. You saw the Princess of Jiacheng County today and you can see that she is definitely not an easy person to get along with. She is a daughter of a rich family and behaves domineeringly. Ordinary people can't do anything to her. In addition, Prince Yong is now a strong contender for the throne, and we should not run into him. You and Qi Heng should not go out together unless you have nothing to do. If you are bumped into by the Princess of Jiacheng County, I am afraid she will do something bad to you."

Mingxi thought of Rong Feiyan's tragic situation in the play, which indirectly led to the subsequent palace coup. She was still a little jealous of the methods of Prince Yong's family.

"But mother, avoiding the sharp edge and giving in all the time is not a solution!" If she wants to be with Qi Heng, she will definitely run into the Princess of Jiacheng County. This is unavoidable.

"Prince Yong is arrogant. He probably thinks the throne is within his grasp. He is acting more recklessly. This is not the appearance of a wise ruler. The ministers in the court will not allow him to ascend to a high position. God will not allow it either. Prince Yong will not succeed!"

Looking at Mingxi's firm eyes, Minglan's restless heart calmed down a little. What A Niang said was the most trustworthy!
