Chapter 245: Choosing a good husband for a man will lead to being struck by lightning
After Lu Lingyun finished speaking, Qin Shaojing's face changed slightly. A complex expression flashed in her eyes. Then she relaxed her brows and looked at Lu Lingyun with a smile as usual. "Sister-in-law, that nun is really not an ordinary person. I met her by chance and asked her to come to me to practice. Her pills are very effective. Everyone who has taken them says they are good."
Hearing Qin Shaojing's irrelevant words, Lu Lingyun frowned.
She said directly, "Shao Jing, aren't you afraid that the nun will give you some poisonous pills and cheat you!"
"How could that be? The pill is not poisonous."
Hearing this, Lu Lingyun's heart skipped a beat.
Because she heard that Qin Shaojing had never taken those pills.
Lu Lingyun frowned immediately, "Shao Jing, do you know what you are doing? Even if it is not poisonous, if it affects others, can you be responsible?"
Qin Shaojing's smiling face suddenly turned cold, and she snorted, "Okay sister-in-law, I said it's not poisonous, it's not poisonous, why do you care so much!"
"Qin Shaojing, I'm asking you one last time, do you really not know what the elixir is? If you still have some sense, get rid of him!"
Qin Shaojing's face turned cold when he heard this. "That elixir is an elixir! Master Miaoyin is the master of predictions! After Master Miaoyin came, my place was full of guests. Master Miaoyin told me my fortune and said that my good luck is among these guests. My dear sister-in-law, Master can find good luck for me, what can you do for me! Since you can't find good luck for me, don't bother me!"
After listening to Qin Shaojing's words, Lu Lingyun was completely convinced.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Shaojing knew that the nun was a liar.
She's not stupid at all!
For a moment, she was speechless as she looked at Qin Shaojing, whose ambition was completely exposed.
She knew that Qin Shaojing was anxious to get married, and she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. She looked down on those from small and medium-sized families.
But her foundation in the capital was too weak. Even if she got to know Cui Tonghua and took advantage of the influence of the marquis's mansion, she could not expand her circle much.
The Duke of Qin's mansion was so dilapidated that outsiders dared not approach it.
That was why she was forced to resort to a risky tactic, inviting a trickster to come to her courtyard to trick the noblewoman from the capital, bring her in, integrate her into their circle, and choose a good husband for her.
Seeing that Lu Lingyun had been looking at her without saying anything, Qin Shaojing resumed her intimacy and said coquettishly, "My dear sister-in-law, don't worry. The medicine is really fine. At least I can guarantee that it is not poisonous and will not kill people. Don't worry about it."
Lu Lingyun sneered, it won’t kill you, but it might rot your face!
"Shao Jing, I naturally don't know what the elixir is. Since you said so, I won't say anything more, but I will tell my mother-in-law the truth."
She had already said this, and since Qin Shaojing knew it well, she would not persuade him any further.
She can do whatever she wants and mess with whoever she wants.
Anyway, she will be the one to make enemies then.
Besides, she is Qin's niece, so she just needs to tell Qin about it. It is her business whether Qin intervenes or not.
Qin Shaojing was anxious at first when she heard Lu Lingyun say this, but soon, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just tell the truth. I should have told my aunt about this."
"Of course. I don't know anything else. I will tell you the truth."
Lu Lingyun pretended that she knew nothing and couldn't tell what the elixir was!
She looked around the courtyard, saw nothing else, and left.
Qin Shaojing only sent her out of the inner courtyard gate and then stopped, turned around with a gloomy face to look for his own nanny.
"Hurry up and send the letter to your aunt."
"yes!"
She had to tell Qin before Lu Lingyun did, to prevent Lu Lingyun from saying something nonsense.
She was really overthinking it.
Lu Lingyun reminded her three times, but she was still stubborn. Lu Lingyun would never care about her again.
Lu Lingyun is a person with principles. She never saves a ghost who is about to jump into the fire pit. She knows that Qin Shaojing knows everything and knows all the immortal pill masters. He is not the kind of person who will be deceived, so he will not help such a person who is seeking death.
If you try to help someone get promoted, get rich, and find a good husband, you will be struck by lightning!
Respect, blessing.
She led her people out of the East Courtyard, and just as she was about to get on the carriage, she heard the sound of a galloping horse.
A young man of about seventeen or eighteen rode a horse-drawn carriage and stopped at the east courtyard of the Marquis's mansion.
"Hello!"
When Lu Lingjun heard the familiar voice, she lifted the car curtain and saw Cheng Qi, who went out early and came back late and was rarely seen.
"Second Master?"
Next to the carriage, Shuanghong was also surprised to see Cheng Qi appear in the east courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, and she shouted out.
Hearing the voice, Cheng Qi turned around and saw the marquis's carriage and Lu Lingyun opening the curtain.
For some reason, when Cheng Qi saw her, he immediately felt like he was caught by an elder.
"Sister-in-law, you are here too?"
"Uncle, why are you here?" Lu Lingyun got off the carriage. She thought about the current time. "Uncle should have just finished his work."
"Yes, I came here to take a look."
Seeing him like this, Lu Lingyun tentatively and boldly speculated, "Could it be that the Second Master has been resting in the East Courtyard recently?"
After she said this, Cheng Qi fell silent.
That's right.
He has been living in the East Courtyard all this time.
It's not that there's anything going on between him and Qin Shaojing, but that he's been entrusted by Qin Shaojing to help her pick up and drop off people who came to her place these days.
He worked at Dongzhimen, which was the gate to the imperial city. Sometimes the guests from the East Courtyard stayed late and the gate to the imperial city had to be locked. Cheng Qi would help Qin Shaojing send her guests back to the city.
He sent gifts to all the female relatives and ladies, so that's why Cheng Hui said that they always smelled of makeup these days.
When Cheng Qi was silent, Nanny Qin came out from the yard and said, "Second Master Cheng, you should go home today. The young lady's friends have all gone, so you won't be needed to see her off in the evening."
When Lu Lingjun heard what Nanny Qin said, she immediately understood what Cheng Qi had been doing these days.
She looked at Cheng Qi, who lowered his head, and his handsome face was slightly flushed.
Lu Lingyun didn't say anything more. She turned around and got back into the car. "Second Uncle, what a coincidence. You can just take me back."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi jumped on his horse, blushed, and silently led Lu Lingyun's carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Dusk is falling.
Lu Lingyun returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
In the banquet hall, Lu Lingyun looked at the uneasy boy in front of him.
"Second uncle, you don't have to be so reserved. We are all family. Sit down." Lu Lingjun took the initiative to speak.
Cheng Qi sat down in silence, drinking tea in big gulps.
Lu Lingyun looked at the young man Cheng Qi and smiled slightly, "When did you become so close to Shao Jing?"
