Chapter 62: Qianlin's Night Exploration
How could Jiao Ran dare to agree to this? He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Sixth Miss, you are too kind. There are so many talented people in the world. Even if I really have some ability, I am just one of them... Besides, I don't think I am a genius because I have a good teacher."
Chai Xiao said, "Even if you have a good master, if you don't have the talent, how could you have become what you are today after hundreds of days and nights? In my opinion, you not only have a talent for martial arts, but you also work hard and seriously. You are truly a role model for women! Look at me, I'm so weak that even if I held a sword, I couldn't swing it."
Jiao Ran smiled and said, "Holding the sword is not difficult."
Chai Xiao held her hand, her eyes radiating affection. "I want to learn from you, too. Can you teach me a little? My brothers say that it's unnecessary for women to learn martial arts. It's not something for ladies from wealthy families to do."
Chai Hui's expression immediately changed. "Go back to your Pisces Garden. You've had enough fun today. You should go back early and study what you should learn."
"What to learn?" Jiao Ran didn't know.
Chai Xiao complained, "What women's workers? Women's school? I've copied the women's rules ten times. Not to mention the account books. I've flipped through them so many times that they're almost torn apart!"
Chai Hui said coldly, "You will be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in the future. The Lu family is a noble family. How can they accept a bride who is ignorant of the ways of the world and knows no etiquette?"
Chai Xiao argued with him, "Rules? Etiquette? Humph! What about the fifth sister? She is well-educated, gentle and considerate, but she has only been married for a short time and she——"
"Shut up!" Chai Hui shouted at her, interrupting her hastily as if she had revealed some scandal in front of Jiaoran.
Jiaoran stopped listening to the gossip halfway through. It seemed that her fifth sister did not marry well.
Chai Xiao woke up as if from a dream and apologized to her brother, "It's all Xiao's fault for arguing with my third brother. Third brother, please don't tell mother, otherwise I will be scolded again."
Chai Hui ordered her to go back early and not come again in the next few days.
She looked back every few steps, which made Jiaoran feel a little uncomfortable. He thought that if she wanted to learn to look back, he would teach her secretly.
When Mu Jin wrote "Spring is late, and the people are busy picking the lotus flowers", the sun had already set. When he finished the poem, the room became much darker, so he sat there, motionless.
Cheng Yuan knocked on the door but he didn't respond and walked in. He sat there without saying a word. The two of them often sat together like this without saying a word to each other.
Sometimes she could sense that Mu Jin was using this kind of indifference to confront her. He kept his distance from her and avoided her as much as possible.
But what qualifications does he have?
Why does Mu Jin hate him?
How much cleaner is he than her?
Chai Lie told her everything about him.
He is a poisonous insect, a pervert, a wild wolf, and a stinky fish that can only survive in the mud by devouring the rotten mud.
Cheng Yuan thought, she should hate him, she really hated him.
But he suddenly smiled at her.
She immediately stared at him in a trance. Even in the dim light, he emitted a soft light like a pearl. Chai Lie and the other children of the Chai family all turned into rubble in front of him. Imagine a pearl mixed in the rubble. It would be difficult for anyone to glance at it.
"Xiao Ju is in Sixth Miss's Pisces Garden. I went to ask for her today, but Sixth Miss refused to let her go."
He lowered his voice, as if expecting it, nodded, and asked in a low voice, "When did the Siyu Garden have more guards?"
Cheng Yuan was too embarrassed to mention Chai Lie, so he just talked about the recent situation, "There were more people a few days after you came back."
“It is the hands of Chai Lie.”
Cheng Yuan shook his head. "No. Maybe it belongs to my second brother."
He knew that if it wasn't Chai Che, then it must be Chai Hui or his uncle.
There was no movement in the secret room, and nothing seemed to have happened in Yuyuan. Could he have guessed wrongly? Or had Jiaoran already come and gone?
Cheng Yuan continued, "It's strange, those people didn't say hello to us. They patrolled around Siyu Garden for a few times and then left after two days."
Mu Jin pressed the issue, "You mean after two days of increasing the guards, they all dispersed?"
After receiving Cheng Yuan's affirmative answer, he smiled slightly as if he understood something, "Okay, I understand, you can go out."
"What do you know?"
"It's none of your business."
Cheng Yuan was so angry that his teeth itched, "You are such a heartless person...
Mu Jin said, "I forgot to tell you, thank you for keeping an eye on Siyuyuan for me."
Cheng Yuan refused to be outdone, "After all, I am also the mistress of Siyu Garden."
He chuckled and didn't deny it, "Who says you're not?"
Then he added, "The mistress of Shulin Garden might be more suitable for you."
Cheng Yuan choked, "Can you please stop talking like that?"
"I already know I was wrong. How many times do you want me to apologize?"
He sighed, "I mean it."
She was furious and tore his painting into pieces, then trampled on it in anger.
He looked pale and had little strength due to repeated blood loss, so he sat there watching her inexplicable behavior.
"Let's see how you explain this to your uncle tomorrow." Mu Jin supported himself on the armrest of the wooden chair and said, "Just draw another one."
She continued to yell at the back, "I'll tear up every picture you draw. What can you do to me?"
At nightfall, Jiaoran sneaked into Qianlin Garden.
But she has never been to Qianlin Garden once.
There are many bamboos planted in Qianlin Garden. After entering a bamboo forest, there are rows of stone steps going up. Qianlin Garden is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are several small boats parked on one side.
The room was brightly lit with candles, it seemed that Chai Che had not gone to bed yet.
What about Senior Sister? Where did he trap her?
Jiaoran searched for a while and when he approached a small building, he faintly heard someone talking on the second floor.
She climbed up a tree, jumped up and grabbed the eaves.
Chai Che was concentrating on talking to an old man, and the person lying on the bed seemed to be his senior sister. Jiaoran was very surprised, she didn't expect that she could get it without any effort.
Didn't Senior Sister wake up? Why is she sick again?
She must have been injured by the sword energy of Phoenix Chick when she stood in front of her that day. Even though she used that move, Zhu Su gave her a move to defeat the enemy, but she still couldn't kill Phoenix Chick.
Speaking of evil, his martial arts are the most evil, like an abyss, and no one knows how many things are hidden in it.
She injured him, and he absorbed the blood of living people to recover. It must be a demon.
The senior sister was found, but Jiaoran was in a dilemma about how to take the unconscious senior sister away from the Governor's Mansion.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the miracle doctor say, "Her spirit and energy have all dissipated, and the remaining poison has not yet been cleared. If she wakes up, taking medicine every day will make her recover faster."
"Can't I take the medicine while I'm unconscious?"
"When she barely woke up a few days ago, the medicine hadn't been prepared yet. Now she's unconscious, and even after it's been prepared, she can't swallow it. I'm using tools to help her swallow, but she seems to be consciously seeking death and no longer seeking life."
Jiao Ran was anxious when he heard this. What should he do? He was about to climb in through the window when he heard Chai Che say, "Is it possible for me to use my internal energy to force out the remaining poison in her body?"
"You can give it a try. I'll give her acupuncture. The internal energy you inject into her body will just follow the direction of my needles."
"good."
Jiaoran stopped there leisurely. It would be bad if she went in now and disrupted the doctor and Chai Che's efforts to rescue her senior sister. She decided to wait and see what would happen.
