Qing Zhan left the mansion and stood at the door, looking at the dark night. He didn't know where to go for a moment. He felt upset and just wanted to drink some wine. But if he drank in the mansion, his father would scold him.
He turned and headed towards the Wanfu Restaurant on Chang'an Street, which closed later.
The night wind was cold, but it couldn't blow away the depression in Qing Zhan's heart.
The streets were a bit empty at this moment, and most of the shops on both sides of the streets were closed. Only the curling smoke and the red cages hanging on the doors made it seem less empty.
Qing Zhan soon arrived at the entrance of Wanfulou Restaurant. It was quite lively, and he could hear the shouting from inside through the door. He climbed the steps and pushed the door open. Looking back, he saw a familiar figure crossing the alley. Was that Qin Shuo? He had seen him earlier that evening, dressed in a blue robe like a peacock. Where was he going so late at night?
That direction, huh, Luoyang Flower Tower is over there.
At this moment, the owner of the restaurant came over and said, "It turns out that it's the Second Young Master Qing. I thought it was someone else standing at the door. Come in, come in quickly..."
Originally, Qing Zhan was planning to chase after him and beat Qin Shuo up, but when the shopkeeper came to meet him, he gave up the idea and went into the restaurant.
It was also because of this that Qing Zhan almost hated himself to death.
If he had followed and found that courtyard, would he have discovered the traces of Qing Yunyao and the ghost man and killed them there, thus preventing the tragedy that followed?
…
The other side.
In Liu Chengfeng's house, he had been hiding in the yard for most of the day. The bloodstains of the mute servant at the door had been cleaned up. He wiped it back and forth several times, and the ground there was brighter than other places. A living person just disappeared without a trace.
He boiled water, cooked, and mopped the floor. He was so busy that he didn't even have a sip of water. He hid at the pillar of the corridor and cried. He felt sad when he thought about it. No, that's not it. He still had a parasite in his stomach. It had just attacked once. He felt worse than death and his life was hopeless.
What had he done wrong? He was just blinded by lust and slept with Qin Ningyue, and this was the result.
Liu Chengfeng regretted his decision.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a creak and the door of the first wing room opened, and Qin Ningyue was standing at the door.
Qin Ningyue had finished her bath and changed into clean clothes, revealing her beautiful face with a hint of arrogance. She was indeed very pretty. Her black hair was not dry yet and was loosely tied up, which added a few more touches of charm. Seeing her like this, Liu Chengfeng felt his lower abdomen tighten.
"Liu Chengfeng, come in."
Qin Ningyue said coldly.
This voice suddenly brought Liu Chengfeng back to his senses. He was really a ruthless and lustful man. It was such a late hour, but he was still distracted. Thinking of his current situation, his whole body immediately turned cold, without any passion at all.
He stood up hesitantly and walked towards Qin Ningyue reluctantly. His face was gloomy and his eyes were red. It was obvious that he had been crying.
"Miss Qin, I really know I was wrong. Please tell the adults inside to give me the antidote, okay? I promise not to tell anyone about what happened today. I beg you."
“Get in here!”
Qin Ningyue frowned, feeling extremely disgusted. If Liu Chengfeng wasn't still useful, the first thing she would do would be to cripple his third leg.
Liu Chengfeng followed Qin Ningyue into the house with his shoulders hunched. When he saw the table full of porcelain bottles emitting a pungent strange smell and the smell of blood, Liu Chengfeng shuddered and didn't even dare to look up at the foreigner, for fear that he would turn him into a corpse if he was not satisfied.
"Young man from the Liu family, I have two things for you to do."
The white man spoke.
Liu Chengfeng bowed respectfully, his ears pricked up, "Master, if you have any instructions, I will do my best to fulfill them."
"very good."
The ghost nodded.
Qin Ningyue rolled her eyes and said, "Coward, what a lackey."
At this time, the ghost man stretched out his withered hand and handed it to Liu Chengfeng, "Tomorrow, you go to find all the herbs listed above. It's best not to go inside the main city of Beijing, but to the outer suburbs. Visit several stores and buy as much as you can. Don't let people get suspicious."
"Yes, Master, rest assured. I'm very familiar with the capital. I've been to all sorts of places in the suburbs. I also know the black market. If there are herbs that can't be bought with the prescription, I'll go to the black market and buy them. I will definitely satisfy you."
Liu Chengfeng bent down and nodded like a pug, which made Qin Ningyue's brows twisted into knots. Whenever she thought about being insulted by such a person and being given the opportunity to marry him, she felt disgusted and hated Qin Wan even more in her heart.
"Um."
The ghost nodded.
Obviously he was very satisfied with Liu Chengfeng's performance.
At this time, Qing Yunyao coughed anxiously. The ghost man glanced at his apprentice and knew that she was anxious, so he said hoarsely, "There is one more thing..."
"Master, you said that no matter what happens, I will do my best."
"yes……"
——Knock, knock, knock.
Just as the ghost was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door, which sounded even more strange and long in the dark night.
Qin Ningyue and Qing Yunyao's expressions changed at the same time, their eyes sharp and frightened.
The ghost man made a move instantly, pinning Liu Chengfeng to the table with one hand, his five fingers tightly gripping his neck. With just a little force, he could break it.
"Didn't you say that no one comes to this house on weekdays?"
The ghost's voice sounded sinister.
In order not to attract attention, they only lit a candle after entering the house. The light it emitted was very small, only enough to illuminate half of the room. In this way, even if someone passed by outside the house, they would not be able to see the lights inside.
But now someone knocked on the door.
There was murderous intent in the eyes of the foreigner.
Liu Chengfeng lost two and a half of his three souls in fear.
At this time, the knocking sound came again, knock, knock, knock.
"I see. It must be Qin Shuo. He knows the secret code of my house. I told him before. We came here to drink together a few times."
Liu Chengfeng was pressed on the table, his neck was restrained, his face flushed red, and he spoke with difficulty.
Qin Ningyue's pupils shrank next to her. Was it her good-for-nothing brother?
"Liu Chengfeng, open the door. I know you're in there. I saw the light. Tell me, what are you doing in there without opening the door? Did you bring Xiaoqin back to fool around?"
Qin Shuo shouted outside the door.
He knocked on the door before, and when there was no response, he was about to leave, but he really saw a flash of light, so he knocked a second time. It must be Liu Chengfeng who was there, otherwise the mute slave would have come to open the door long ago, so he howled a few times outside.
The three people in the room all changed their expressions.
Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth in anger. If this idiot Qin Shuo howled a few more times and attracted the searching guards, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Obviously, Guilao and Qing Yunyao also thought of it.
"Liu Chengfeng, go and send him away..."
