Chapter 31 I Don’t Mind If You Hit Me
"Do you like Qingshu?"
Shen Qingyuan was suspicious.
Chunxi had only met Qingshu a few times when delivering things to Shen Qingyuan, so it was not a matter of fact that she liked him.
It's just that she and Qingshu have similar status. As Shen Qingyuan's personal attendant, she also has good character. Shen Qingyuan is also related to the Xiao family. After they get married, if Wei Lingze still refuses to let go, he won't dare to do anything wrong for the sake of Shen Qingyuan's face.
"My current situation is not very good. If Brother Qingshu is unmarried and is willing to consider me, we can slowly cultivate our relationship."
Chunxi answered truthfully.
Shen Qingyuan's expression eased slightly. He stared at Chunxi for a while and said, "Given my current situation, he probably won't consider marriage for the time being."
"Since my lord is injured like this, Brother Qingshu naturally has no mood for romance. When my lord returns and feels better, we can..."
"My injuries are nothing," Shen Qingyuan interrupted Chunxi, emphasizing, "I'm a widower now. I've killed two wives and have no children."
“…”
It is indeed not appropriate when the master is unlucky in marriage and childless, while the servant enjoys a loving marriage and has children around him.
Chunxi realized belatedly that she had been reckless, but she didn't know any daughters from official families, so how could she act as a matchmaker for Lord Shen?
Brother Qingshu can wait, but she can't.
Do you want to go to the Xiao family again?
Didn't Old Madam Xiao say before that she enjoyed eating and that she was quite pleasing to the eye? If things really didn't work out, she could sell herself to Old Madam Xiao as a maid. Wei Lingze couldn't possibly go to the Xiao family and snatch her away, right?
It’s just a pity that the shop she bought with great difficulty has not yet opened.
Chunxi was so lost in thought that her brows couldn't help but furrow slightly. At this moment, Shen Qingyuan's voice reached her ears again: "You saved my life. I can agree to one request of yours, no matter what it is."
Chunxi's eyes lit up again. Before she could speak, Shen Qingyuan said, "If you want to ask for my protection, there's no need to beat around the bush and target Qingshu."
Chunxi blurted out: "If they don't target Brother Qingshu, then are they targeting you, my Lord?"
Who does she think she is to covet Lord Shen?
Chunxi finished speaking and lay down, just as she was about to cross her legs, she heard Shen Qingyuan say, "I don't mind."
"ah?"
This was incoherent and Chunxi didn't quite understand it, so she looked at Shen Qingyuan in confusion.
Shen Qingyuan sat back on the bed, his eyes serious: "I don't mind you hitting on me."
“…”!!!
Lord Shen, do you know what you are talking about?
What do you mean you don't mind being targeted?
If you didn't have such a righteous face, saying something like that would definitely be misunderstood as trying to seduce me!
Chunxi widened his eyes, not knowing how to respond for a moment, when the door was knocked.
Chunxi immediately jumped up and went to open the door.
"My Lord, I'm late. It's all my fault that I failed to protect you. Wuwuwu..."
Qingshu rushed to the bedside crying, and saw Shen Qingyuan's pale face and extremely weak, and blamed himself even more.
"Shut up, I'm not dead yet."
Shen Qingyuan scolded her coldly, and Qingshu stopped crying immediately, but tears were still welling up in her eyes and her shoulders were twitching uncontrollably.
Chunxi immediately thought of her elder brother. Could Qingshu be her father's illegitimate child who was left alone? Otherwise, why would he be as crybaby as her elder brother?
Qingshu brought a doctor.
After the doctor took Shen Qingyuan's pulse and confirmed that he was not in danger of death and could be moved, Qingshu carefully helped Shen Qingyuan downstairs.
Chunxi followed the two men downstairs and arrived at the backyard of the inn, only to find that there were twenty or thirty guards with them.
These guards were dressed in casual clothes, and each of them had a fierce aura and it was obvious that they had good skills.
Didn’t the wife of Marquis Qingyuan already take care of Lord Shen’s funeral? Where did these guards come from?
Chunxi didn't dare to say anything more, but he couldn't control his curiosity.
Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Qingyuan stood beside the carriage and said to her, "You get in first."
These guards all came on horseback, and there was only one carriage. Chunxi did not refuse and got on it quickly.
The carriage was a two-person carriage with ample space. Perhaps to prevent Shen Qingyuan from being shaken, two thick mattresses were laid inside, which were very soft.
Qingshu helped Shen Qingyuan sit down and immediately took the gauze to change the dressing on Shen Qingyuan.
Shen Qingyuan said: "The wound has been bandaged."
"I'm worried about someone else bandaging it, and the medicine you used before is definitely not as good as what Doctor Li prescribed. Only by changing the medicine can you get better faster."
Qingshu was devoted to his master. Seeing his master looking at him with a cold expression, he thought that the master was concerned about the difference between men and women. He immediately turned to Chunxi and said, "I want to change the medicine for the master. Miss Chunxi, please sit outside first."
Shen Qingyuan: "..."
Guess who helped bandage your adult’s wound before?
Shen Qingyuan exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to move, just change like this."
Under the escort of a group of guards, the carriage slowly drove away from Yu County. Half an hour later, Wei Lingze stepped into the inn.
The county town has been in turmoil these days. It is heard that a murderer has escaped here and killed the official in charge of the case. The county magistrate sent officials to go door to door to ask if there are any suspicious people. Finally, the officials even took out a portrait of a woman for people to identify.
The innkeeper immediately recognized the person in the portrait as the girl who had just checked out.
"That girl came to check in with a man. The man looks quite handsome and his family must be quite wealthy. Twenty or thirty people came to pick them up just now."
The guy answered truthfully, and Wei Lingze asked coldly, "What's the man's name?"
The inspections have been strict recently, and all customers have to register their names. The shopkeeper flipped through the records and quickly found the person: "Sir, that person's name is Liu Fengyuan."
Wei Lingze's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Liu Fengyuan was so bold that he dared to kidnap his people!
At the same time, in the prison of Yu County Yamen.
The driver looked at Liu Fengyuan tremblingly: "Sir, what should we do now?"
They were stripped naked and thrown on the roadside. When they woke up, they could only cover their bodies with straw skirts. They wanted to come to Yun County to find the people arranged by Young Master Wei to discuss the next countermeasures, but as soon as they entered the city, they were treated as obscene perverts and sent to the government office.
They were penniless and had no proof of identity. The people in the yamen ignored them and threw them directly into jail.
Seeing how they were dressed, the prisoners in the jail started beating and kicking them. Now both of them were covered in bruises and looked in a miserable state.
"Young Master Wei's men haven't been able to reach the head, so they will definitely find a way to find us." Liu Fengyuan gasped as the wound on his mouth moved, half to comfort the driver and half to comfort himself, "Just wait patiently, we will be fine."
The driver was worried.
Young Master Wei doesn't even dare to keep the girl by his side openly, so he has to do it secretly to find her. When will he be able to find her here?
