Chapter 440 Duan Ling's Little Secret
If he goes, we will have to take care of him if he encounters danger. If we are forced to enter the space, the secret will be exposed.
So Duan Yi absolutely cannot go.
"I'm fine now. Besides, I have Kung Fu skills. Why can't I go?"
"If your agility can surpass Qingxuan's, don't even mention that you want to go on your own initiative. I will drag you along!"
Duan Ling saw that Duan Yi looked frightened and was very curious about what he had been through.
She was also really curious about the woman in front of her whose true face she had not yet seen.
"Let's not talk about this for now. If your people didn't send back any information, it means Qi Jing hasn't made any moves yet. I'll quietly go to the prison in the evening to deliver medicine to Sister Chen's grandparents again, and then I'll leave the city with Gu Yanchen."
Qi Mingjing was originally scheduled to undergo surgery tonight, but judging by the current situation, it might not be possible to make it in time.
Plans cannot keep up with changes. In short, Qi Mingjing can stay in her space and perform the operation at any time, but it will be troublesome if the Wumen Dam really breaks.
Duan Yi leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and he looked extremely unhappy.
Ran Qingxuan saw this and said to him, "Let's go quickly. We have important things to do when we come back. What if we get into danger with you?
You have just recovered from your illness, and your Duan family has not yet been expanded. If you run into danger with the past, Gu Yanchen will definitely have to take care of you. Are you embarrassed to let a grown man protect you and run away? ”
Duan Yi thought that what Ran Qingxuan said seemed to make sense, and his expression was no longer so struggling, so he did not insist on taking him with him.
Duan Ling felt that her cousin had become a different person after he recovered, and she was sincerely happy for him.
"By the way, I just came back today and didn't even have time to eat lunch. Since we are so lucky to meet, you have to pay for my meal, cousin."
"Guess what, order whatever you want. How about the roast duck at Feng Yu Lou?"
Duan Ling's eyes lit up: "Great, I haven't eaten it for two months, order two!"
"Can you eat it?"
"Aren't there six of us?"
There were only four people in the room. Duan Yi looked around curiously and couldn't help shivering.
"Give some to Madam Dou and Shi Yu, and the rest will be enough for the four of us."
Duan Yi almost forgot about Nanny Dou and Shi Yu, the personal guard who escorted Wu Luan to see the official. Fortunately, Fengyu Tower was not far from the teahouse. When Nanny Dou came back, guard Shi Yu also came back with her.
"How?" Duan Yi asked.
“My Lord, after Wu Luan was brought to court, he refused to admit his slander and instead turned against me.
According to the testimony of those who watched the fun, Wu Luan was beaten with thirty sticks for making loud noises and disrespecting the court. If he was lucky, he would be sent to the salt fields to work for at least three years after his injuries healed.
If you are unlucky, you may not be able to walk in the future, and your title of scholar will be cancelled. ”
Duan Ling applauded after hearing this, her eyes red as she felt happy for Chen Xu.
Ran Qingxuan didn't expect that a trip back to the city would bring him such an unexpected gain. I think Chen Xu would be relieved after knowing this.
It was a rare occasion that the four of them got along so well. During lunch, Ran Qingxuan also became familiar with Duan Ling. He then learned that Duan Ling's mother was the fourth child in the family. She married to Tongzhou twenty years ago and occasionally returned to Cangwu to stay with her family.
But from what Duan Ling said, some of the family business was brought to Tongzhou by her mother, otherwise the man could not leave Cangzhou, and if he did not come back, the business would not be able to continue.
Fortunately, women would be given their husband’s surname after marriage, and official documents would also be changed, so only women from the Duan family would not be restricted after marriage.
During the conversation, Duan Yi mentioned the pair of crystal glasses provided by Ran Qingxuan, which made Duan Ling very interested.
Upon seeing this, Ran Qingxuan took out a European-style cartoon porcelain cup of the same style from the cloth bag he was carrying, like a magic trick. It could be said that the people of Northern Qi had never seen such a cup before.
As soon as the pink cup appeared, it instantly captured Duan Ling's heart.
"Is this a cup? Is it for me?"
Seeing that she liked it very much, Ran Qingxuan said casually: "Of course it's for you. If you like it, I have a lot of them. I'll go back and look for them after I'm done with my work these two days."
"Really? I just came back today and I didn't bring any good things with me in such a hurry..."
"It's okay, these are just small matters."
She didn't dare to say that she could get as many as she wanted, so she could only take out one for the time being.
Duan Ling felt that Ran Qingxuan was very open-minded and did not have the usual petty thoughts that other girls in the boudoir had. Duan Ling felt very comfortable getting along with Ran Qingxuan.
The cup in her hand had not yet warmed up. Duan Yi saw it and said bluntly that he wanted to see the cup in her hand, but Duan Ling raised her hand and knocked it away.
"Once it's in my hands, it's mine. How dare you steal my things, cousin?"
"It won't hurt if I take a look. If you don't give it to me, I'll tell my aunt that you went out to look for..."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say anything, I'll give it to you."
As if she was in control, Duan Ling resigned herself to the fate and handed over the cup of water that Ran Qingxuan had just given her.
"I'll show you, can you please not tell my mother?"
"Okay, sure!"
The conversation between the two aroused the curiosity of Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen. It must be something that could make Duan Ling obediently just with just one sentence.
"What did you do to her to make her so obedient?"
Gu Yanchen is not a gossipy person. The key point is that Ran Qingxuan wants to know, but it is difficult to speak because they are too far away.
Duan Yi looked intently at the peculiarly shaped cup in his hand and said casually, "I'm going to find my lover..."
"What lover? Cousin, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"I'm horrible, but before you tear my mouth apart, I'll tell your mother first!"
"You, you..." Duan Ling had probably suffered a lot at the hands of Duan Yi, so she was easily controlled now.
Ran Qingxuan, who was standing beside him, immediately became excited when he heard this. He came close to Duan Ling and said, "If I am lucky enough, I hope to attend your wedding."
Duan Ling blushed with shame, and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "It's not even a conclusion yet, and I don't dare to tell my family. I'm afraid there will be no results until next year!"
Ran Qingxuan was really curious, but compared to other people's love affairs, she wanted to know more about what Qi Jing was going to provide to the people of the Salt Gang.
The two of them couldn't go to the Qi family now, nor could they go directly to the Zhenbei Marquis's home in Yinyue City.
After all, something like that happened earlier, and Ran Qingxuan and Duan Yi took a lot of effort to return everything to Wu Luan. If someone saw her entering Duan Yi's house again, there would definitely be gossip.
"Well, let's leave first. We need to buy some things to bring back before it gets dark."
"Go back?" Duan Ling didn't know that they would temporarily live in the Charity Bureau five miles away from Silver Moon City. She thought they were going back to their home in Silver Moon City.
