Chapter 268: Pack him up and take him back to the princess's mansion, and let him be her husband!

Hearing this, Jiang Heci's face changed.

He avoided the topic with his eyes evasive.

"I'm going to sell that piece of cloth and buy you a chicken tonight to help you stay healthy."

After saying this, he wanted to leave in a panic.

"etc."

Lu Qi called him.

"Miss Lu, is there anything else?" Jiang Heci paused.

"Please give my dagger to me and pawn it for me." Lu Qi handed over the dagger beside him.

"Huo Dang, my family will come to look for it in a few days, and I will go to redeem it."

Hearing this, Jiang Heci's eyes darkened.

Miss Lu has to leave eventually...

"Do you want me to help you report to the police and find your family?" He calmed down and looked at Lu Qi gently.

"No need." Lu Qi shook his head.

It is still unknown who assassinated them.

If you are someone from the government, reporting to the authorities would be like walking into a trap.

Anyway, Xiaojiu has a way to find out where she is.

They haven't come to see her yet, maybe they are blocked by something.

If something happens to Xiaojiu, this pawned dagger will also be a clue.

The gems inlaid on her dagger are absolutely unique in Sanxiang County.

Once we show up in the pawnshop, my father's people will definitely find us.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Heci walked back and solemnly took the dagger.

"If I change it into silver, can you hire someone to take care of me? I want to take a bath." Lu Qi began to test.

She always felt that Jiang Heci had a big secret.

Since he didn't say anything, I could only find out from other people.

But she injured her leg. She could eat and go to the toilet by herself, but she couldn't walk out of the yard.

"Okay. I will find Aunt Wang. She was the one who changed your clothes that day when you were unconscious." Jiang Heci remembered this and hurriedly explained.

"Sorry for the trouble, sir." Lu Qi had no recollection of what happened that day.

Jiang Heci saved her and she fell into a coma.

When she woke up again, she was lying clean on the bed.

She was too embarrassed to ask Jiang Heci, after all, it was a bit embarrassing.

Now that she knew it was an aunt who changed her clothes, Lu Qi felt relieved.

"No trouble." Jiang Heci shook his head, went to the village to ask Aunt Wang to take care of Lu Qi, and then went out with the dagger and cloth.

As soon as Jiang Heci left, Lu Qi looked at Aunt Wang.

"Auntie, are you familiar with Mr. Jiang?"

Aunt Wang frowned slightly, shook her head and nodded.

Lu Qi was confused for a moment, what does this mean?

"How much money did he give you to come and take care of me?" Lu Qi changed the subject.

Aunt Wang stretched out her hand and gestured.

"Five taels of silver?" Lu Qi asked.

Aunt Wang was startled and waved her hands repeatedly.

Afraid that Lu Qi didn’t understand, she shook her head and hands together, expressing one thing clearly: Five taels of silver, how is it possible!!!

Of course Lu Qi knew it couldn't be five taels of silver.

She said this deliberately to provoke Aunt Wang to speak.

"You can't speak?" Lu Qi guessed.

Aunt Wang nodded.

Lu Qi: …

After all this time, Aunt Wang turned out to be mute.

Why are you asking? She can't understand sign language.

She began to wonder if Jiang Heci had deliberately found someone who couldn't speak to take care of her and prevent her from knowing things she shouldn't know.

"Please help me wash it." Lu Qi hung his head dejectedly and lost interest in asking.

It's better to wash her sour and stinky head first.

Aunt Wang nodded and went to boil water. Then she quickly found a wooden basin, filled it with water, and washed her hair carefully, dried her hair, and wiped her body dry.

Feeling refreshed, Lu Qi felt much better.

She began to think about Jiang Heci again.

"Auntie Wang, do you know why Jiang Heci hasn't married yet?"

Aunt Wang's face turned a little embarrassed and she shook her head.

Lu Qi observed her facial expression and became more and more certain of his guess.

Jiang Heci must have some secrets.

"Is it because he is poor? But he is so hardworking, he can weave cloth, cook, and he is good-looking. Even if no one is willing to marry him, there will always be people who want him to be a son-in-law." Lu Qi eliminated the options one by one.

When she heard about the son-in-law, Aunt Wang's expression changed and she gestured quickly with her hands.

Lu Qi was anxious and helpless, she couldn't understand!!!

Aunt Wang also realized this and sighed silently.

I want to gossip, but I can't say it out loud.

The two looked at each other in silence, and finally Lu Qi came up with a solution.

"Tomorrow you bring a little girl who can talk. When Jiang Heci leaves, you answer the questions I want to know. I will reward you then."

Afraid that she would not believe him, Lu Qi took off two pearls from his belt.

"After answering my questions, this is yours."

Aunt Wang thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.

Not long after, Jiang Heci came back, holding a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand, with a large bag of rice, meat and brown sugar on his back.

Lu Qi didn't expect that he looked thin, but actually had so much strength. He carried so many things without getting red in the face or out of breath.

No wonder he was able to carry himself down the mountain that day.

"Auntie Wang, thank you for your help." Jiang Heci took out five cents and a small piece of brown sugar and handed them to Auntie Wang.

After taking it, Aunt Wang turned her head to look at Lu Qi, nodded to Lu Qi, and then left.

After she left, Jiang Heci took out the remaining change from his arms and gave it all to Lu Qi.

"I pawned the dagger. The pawnshop owner refused to give a high price and only gave me ten taels of silver. Here is the pawn ticket. Keep it."

"I didn't waste your money. The doctor said that you need to eat well to recover quickly, so I bought chicken, duck, fish and meat. Oh, I didn't buy fish. I can go to the village river to catch some later. And the total cost of buying these things is..."

Before he could finish his report, Lu Qi interrupted him.

"I trust you."

Jiang Heci was stunned, and some small change appeared in his hand.

"You take care of me, and you can take this money. No matter where you spend it, I believe you will not lie to me." Lu Qi curled his lips and smiled at him.

Jiang Heci's eyes felt a little hot.

Apart from the children from the Salesian Bureau, Miss Lu was the first person who said she believed in him.

"Also, just buy the fish. The money is not a big deal. Fishing in the river is very dangerous," Lu Qi instructed.

The concern in her words made Jiang Heci burst into tears.

"I understand. I'll go cook for you right away." Jiang Heci didn't want her to see him crying, so he turned around and walked out.

That night, Lu Qi had the most sumptuous dinner he had in quite some time.

As she savored these delicacies, her eyes looked at Jiang Heci even more passionately.

What should I do? I really want to pack up Jiang Heci and take him back to the princess's mansion and make him her husband's concubine!

But before that, she still had to find out his background, otherwise her father would definitely not agree to it.
