Chapter 172 Sweet (Update 1)
Seeing his elder brother's serious expression, Jian Yunyin also realized that this matter was very important.
She told her eldest brother what Zhiluo had said, "Zhiluo said that Ding Changzhu was using a self-torture scheme. Without a self-torture scheme, how could he escape punishment?"
"See if he has any suspicious connections with anyone. A very loyal person suddenly betrays you, either because it's profitable or because he's being threatened..."
"And that He Muqiang, it's best to check his identity, including where his mother went and whether she had any contact..."
"Also, Zhiluo said that Wang Ping is unlikely to harm Big Brother, but we can ask him about He Muqiang."
After hearing this, Jian Yunci was slightly shocked, and a myriad of thoughts flooded his mind.
It was as if a net had caught up many things at once.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The eldest brother's face didn't look good, his brows were tightly knitted, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Jian Yunci shook his head and said, "It's okay. Your savior is very good."
"It made me more certain of my previous guess and helped me figure out some details."
"And He Muqiang, I forgot about his mother. Maybe I can find clues from that."
Jian Yunyin said, "Brother, I always feel like someone is deliberately targeting the Jian family, or targeting you, brother. I don't know if it's an illusion."
"I didn't think much about it before, but after Zhiluo said something to me, I felt something was very strange."
"Since someone deliberately harmed you, there must be a reason."
Jian Yunci looked at his sister's haggard expression and said, "Don't think too much about these things. Leave them to big brother to handle."
"I'll investigate."
"You just need to eat well, rest well, and take care of your body."
Jian Yunyin nodded.
She originally wanted to tell her elder brother that Zhiluo had prescribed medicine for her, but she hesitated and didn't say it.
Her brother might not trust Zhiluo as much as she does.
Anyway, she trusted him very much. She had already got the medicine according to the prescription. She took the medicine secretly. When she got better, she would tell her elder brother how great Zhiluo's medical skills were.
…
Cui family
In the evening, after Jiang Zhiluo washed up, she felt a little thirsty. She used a ladle to scoop some cold water from the tank and poured it into a cup to drink.
Cui Hejin came over at some point, held her hand and said, "Don't drink cold water, I've boiled some hot water."
As he spoke, Cui Hejin mixed some warm water for Jiang Zhiluo to drink.
"It's not cold now, so it's okay to drink some cold water."
Cui Hejin said gently, "You can't drink cold water recently."
He seemed very persistent and didn't say why.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't think much about it.
She had no idea that Cui Hejin remembered the pain she felt the last time she came.
Cui Hejin carefully recorded everything.
After drinking a glass of warm water, Jiang Zhiluo seemed to think of something, "Oh, by the way, I heard something when I went to town."
Cui Hejin knew she was going to say something and said softly, "Yeah."
It means he is listening.
Jiang Zhiluo pursed her lips, looked at his expression through the candlelight, and said, "I heard that Chen Huadie's leg was broken."
Jiang Zhiluo thought about it and felt that it was strange that Chen Huadie's leg was broken.
She hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now she couldn't help but want to ask Cui Hejin.
He saw her climbing over the Chen family's wall that day.
I don’t know if he heard what Chen Huadie said before to teach her a lesson.
Cui Hejin lowered his head slightly, his eyes half closed, his delicate eyelashes like crow feathers covered his eyes, and also covered the emotions in his eyes, making Jiang Zhiluo unable to see clearly.
"Um."
Cui Hejin didn't say anything, which made Jiang Zhiluo even more curious.
She couldn't help but walk up to Cui Hejin.
Cui Hejin was much taller than her. She leaned in front of him, and when she looked up, she could see his lowered eyes.
"I remember you often went to the bookstore before. Don't you know her?"
Cui Hejin looked down at Jiang Zhiluo's clear and bright eyes. Her eyes were lively, as if they could speak.
Cui Hejin felt a little amused, but said calmly, "It's an unimportant person, so I didn't pay attention to him."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth for some reason, and she actually felt a sweet feeling.
If Chen Huadie heard such words here, she would probably be furious.
Seeing her suddenly happy face with curved eyebrows and eyes, especially after taking a bath and looking even more charming under the candlelight, Cui Hejin's eyes dimmed and his throat rolled slightly.
He couldn't help but reach out and tidy her hair, and said in a low, hoarse voice: "You still have the mind to think about other people's affairs here? Aren't you tired after a busy day?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, I'm a little sleepy. I'd better go to bed early and make the bread oven tomorrow."
She thought that Cui Hejin looked so frail, and Chen Huadie's broken leg probably had nothing to do with him.
Cui Hejin thought that he could get up early tomorrow morning to help Zhiluo do something.
A good night's sleep
The next morning, when Jiang Zhiluo woke up, Cui Hejin had already woken up early and had prepared breakfast.
Jiang Zhiluo was about to pour water to wash up, and Cui Hejin said, "I've already poured it for you, go wash up first."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the water in the basin. When she reached out to wash her face, she found that it was warm water.
She was stunned.
"Husband, it's spring now, not winter. It's okay to wash your face with cold water."
Cui Hejin met Jiang Zhiluo's sleepy eyes, and when he heard her sweet voice, his heart softened.
She looks like she hasn't woken up yet.
He couldn't stand the look and whispered softly, "You can't use cold water these days. Take care of your health."
After saying this, Cui Hejin's ears turned red.
Jiang Zhiluo was still dazed and hadn't come to her senses yet.
Mrs. Cui just came in from feeding the chickens in the yard. She heard it and immediately understood what was going on. She hurriedly said, "Oh, Zhiluo, He Jin is worried about you."
"He remembers your life and knows that you can't touch cold water these days."
"I didn't expect He Jin to be so attentive to you and remember it so clearly."
Jiang Zhiluo reacted all of a sudden, her sleepiness disappeared instantly, and she became extremely awake.
She looked at Cui Hejin's red ears and her face suddenly became hot.
If only Cui Hejin was there, she might not be so embarrassed, but the key point was that Old Madam Cui was also in the room.
Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly picked up the basin and went to the yard to wash.
After washing my face, I feel much more refreshed.
But when she thought of Cui Hejin's attentiveness, she felt a warmth in her heart, and this warmth spread to every part of her body, making her feel full of strength.
Fortunately, after washing up and eating, no one mentioned this intentionally, and Jiang Zhiluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She is not such a pretentious person, but when facing Cui Hejin, she couldn't help feeling a little shy.
Jiang Zhiluo looked distracted and didn't seem to be eating.
Cui Hejin put a piece of bread into her bowl and scooped her a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup.
Mrs. Cui bought the tofu from someone selling it at the village entrance early in the morning.
