Chapter 95: The Right Time, Right Place, and Right People

Sun Zhiye sorted out the whole story.

It couldn't be a bigger coincidence.

Tiandong was discharged from the hospital due to abdominal pain, while Chuanbai fell into a deep sleep, fulfilling Qu Ying's plan.

"Where's Qinghe?"

Sun Zhiye stared at Qu Ying deeply, his eyes were deep and cold.

Qu Ying shivered and said, "I left the mansion."

Qinghe helped her get what she wanted, and she helped Qinghe escape from slavery.

This was decided after she and Qinghe discussed it.

Only when Qinghe is no longer a slave who can be beaten or killed at will, will my cousin start to be cautious.

So, the moment she stepped into her cousin's bedroom, she returned the indenture to Qinghe.

Sun Zhiye laughed in anger, and his cold smile was like a north wind that could chill a person to the bone.

What else is there to understand? Qu Ying willingly became a knife in the hands of others.

"Qu Ying, you are doing very well!"

The Sun family was in a panic, and the servants were no longer as cooperative as ever, which led to leaks everywhere.

"Please spare my life, my dear cousin. I am willing to serve you like a slave."

Qu Ying was really scared.

When her throat was strangled and she couldn't breathe, my cousin really wanted to kill her and put an end to it all.

"How can you be treated like a slave?" Madam Sun shouted at the servants who were blocking the way and forced her way in. "Qu Ying is a good girl with a clean conscience. For something like this to happen..."

When Madam Sun saw the purple pinch marks on Qu Ying's neck, she was horrified. The next moment, she jumped up in anger and asked, "Do you still want to kill Ying'er?"

"Do you think the house is not chaotic enough?"

"The Taoist priest who performed the ritual outside the palace yesterday specifically emphasized that no one should be killed within the 49th day. Otherwise, the evil spirits will haunt the Sun family forever, and the Sun family will end up being destroyed."

"You rebellious son, do you want your entire grandson's family to be buried with you?"

Madam Sun pulled Qu Ying over and put her behind her.

"Shouldn't Mom be on her way to the farm in the country?" Sun Zhiye gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

He even suspected that the high-profile action yesterday was deliberately promoted by someone.

But no matter whether it was Qu Ying or her parents, they all jumped into the trap without hesitation, and perhaps they were even complacent about it afterwards.

Mrs. Sun: "Your father and I must stay and drink a cup of tea that Ying'er offers, right?"

Mrs. Sun was eager to tie Qu Ying and her eldest son together.

The eldest son was cold-tempered and disrespectful and unfilial to her, but Qu Ying was obedient, sensible and very well behaved.

"From what mother said, you want me to marry Qu Ying?"

"A dissolute woman who crawls into bed with me at night, and you still dream of becoming my wife?"

Sun Zhiye just felt like he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"It's fine to be my concubine." Madam Sun was not confident enough. "There must be an explanation."

Sun Zhiye: "Mother, have you forgotten that I have announced to the public that Qu Ying is the fiancée you have chosen for your second brother?"

Madam Sun glared at him angrily, "She has already slept with you and her innocence is gone. How can she still harm Peng'er?"

"It is settled. If you do not wish to marry her, then take her as your wife."

…

Changxi Village.

"Mingchao, it's done." Xie Yan handed the densely written note in his hand to Lu Mingchao.

Lu Mingchao took the note and asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Ultimately, this is essentially Schrödinger's cat.

"With the right time, right place and right people, things will go more smoothly."

"But to be honest, I never thought Qu Ying would be so decisive." Xie Yan looked at the children circling around the horses in the stable with a smile in his eyes.

As the night went on, the children's interest in the horses did not diminish but became even greater.

Lu Xin held a carrot in his hand and stared at the horse eating without blinking.

Lu Mingchao quickly scanned the message on the note and said, "The right time, right place, and right people are all the result of the careful planning of you and me, two evil-minded people."

"Qu Ying was absolutely unwilling to go to the manor. In fact, Young Master Sun added fuel to the fire."

Xie Yan smiled helplessly, "Why not say Seven Secrets of the Delicate Heart?"

"No matter how Sun Zhiye handles this matter, Qinglingling's jade string has been stained with dirt, which is a big setback."

"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone." Lu Mingchao threw the note into the charcoal basin beside him, and the flames instantly devoured it. "If someone offends me, I will return it double."

"Life is short, there is no need to put yourself in a difficult position and believe in the old saying that a loss is a blessing."

Xie Yan smiled and said, "The Ming Dynasty was straightforward."

Lu Mingchao accepted the praise with peace of mind, sat on the wooden chair under the window, rested his elbows on the windowsill, supported his cheeks with his palms, and looked towards the stable.

"Lu Xiaoxin!"

You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.

Lu Xiaoxin did something big without saying a word, snatching the carrot from the horse's mouth!

"Come here!"

Lu Xiaoxin retracted his hand abruptly, and left the stable carefully. He stood under the eaves, with a window between him and Lu Mingchao. "Sister."

"You're trying to snatch food from the horse's mouth. Aren't you afraid that the horse will get angry and bite off your arms and hands?" Lu Mingchao glared at Lu Xiaoxin.

Fortunately, the horses pulling the carriage had been trained by the carriage driver to be docile and harmless.

Lu Xiaoxin lowered his head carefully, and occasionally glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. His hands fell to his sides, tightly grasping the hem of his clothes and biting his lips, but he still couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can horses bite people?"

There have never been horse-drawn carriages in Changxi Village.

Lu Xiaoxin grew up in Changxi Village. He had seen cows plowing the fields and donkeys pulling carts, but he had never observed a majestic horse up close.

"Not only does it bite, it can also kick." Lu Mingchao poked Lu Xiaoxin's clean face and said, "Go wash your hands."

"I've already fed the carrots to the horses, why are you thinking of snatching them back?"

Lu Xiaoxin's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her cheeks were red with shame. "The horse is eating so deliciously."

"You want to eat too?" Lu Mingchao replied.

Then he sighed helplessly, "No matter how much you want to eat, you can't take food from a horse's mouth."

"Go wash your hands!"

Lu Xiaoxin lowered his head and left dejectedly.

There seemed to be footsteps coming from outside the courtyard wall. Lu Mingchao frowned slightly, and then he heard Xie Yan say, "One of them is my mother-in-law."

Lu Mingchao turned his head, surprised.

With such good hearing, there shouldn't be any such thing as whispering.

Xie Yan opened the gate first.

There were two people following Yunniang, one was Feng Jinyu, and the other was tall and strong.

Feng Jinmao?

A name popped up in Lu Mingchao's mind.

As soon as he entered the house, Feng Jinmao stuffed the things in his hand into Xie Yan's hands, bowed his head and clasped his fists towards Lu Mingchao, and bowed deeply. "It was you who saved Jin Yu's life. I, Jinmao, don't have any great abilities, but I know how to repay your kindness."

"If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

"Go through fire and water, no hesitation."

Lu Mingchao: What a rough and unruly brother.

The biggest features are that it is strong, has round eyes and a loud voice.

Standing in front of her, he looked like a dark iron tower.

When he was out on escort duty, just standing there was enough to scare people.

In comparison, Feng Jinyu is particularly petite and delicate.

"Brother, keep your voice down." Feng Jinyu glared at Feng Jinmao in dissatisfaction. "Ming Chao is not those rough guys in the escort agency. Don't scare her."
