Lü Qiao disliked her superior attitude very much.
Moreover, what did she want with Si Yi?
Before her brain could process it, she blurted out, "What do you want with my husband?"
Si Yi walked over and happened to hear what she said. He paused and looked at her in surprise.
The young lady said unhappily, "I came to see Young Master Si, why should I tell you?"
“Young Master Si is my husband. If you want to see him, it depends on whether I’m willing or not. I won’t take you to see him unless you tell me first.” Green spoke fluently, completely unaware of the young man approaching from behind.
"Young Master Si?" Miss Jiao saw the young man first and called out with a happy expression.
Green Beauty's body stiffened.
I have a feeling that the heavens are going to destroy me.
How come you got caught by the person who told the lie, even though it was just a simple lie?
Lu Qiao pretended not to know that Si Yi had come over. She got up from her seat, intending to leave this place of trouble.
However, she had only taken two steps when the boy grabbed her wrist.
"Where are you going, my lady?"
The boy's sinister voice echoed overhead.
Green Fairy trembled, her scalp tingling, and she had no choice but to turn around and face her.
"Si Yi, I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously..." She forced a smile, but it looked more like a grimace.
Si Yi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. "Too late."
What's late?
Green Fairy looked at him, puzzled.
But Si Yi ignored her and instead looked at the pampered young lady.
"What about the rest of the payment? Did you bring it?"
The young lady quickly replied, "I brought it." She then looked at the maid beside her.
The maidservant quickly presented a heavy box to Si Yi.
Si Yi grabbed the money with one hand and said calmly, "I've already taken the money. You can leave now."
Seeing his rudeness, the young lady panicked instantly, "Young Master Si, I..."
Si Yi ignored her, took Lü Qiao's hand, and turned to go back into the house.
Back inside, Lü Qiao said awkwardly, "That young lady just now, is she the daughter of a wealthy family in town, the person you were protecting this time?"
"Hmm." Si Yi responded, and unusually explained to her, "I've already killed that flower thief, and the deal with them is over."
"Really?" Green Fairy gave him a strange look.
Si frowned. "What kind of look is that?"
Green Fairy coughed lightly and said with a smile, "That young lady is quite pretty. It seems she has taken a liking to you, which is why she made a special trip to see you. Don't you have any thoughts about it?"
"What are you thinking?" Si Yi's face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed, staring at her dangerously.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao dared not say anything more, shook her head, and brushed it off, saying, "Just take it as me talking nonsense."
Si Yi stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, "Lü Qiao, why did you lie to that young lady just now? I am your husband?"
Green-eyed darting around, "Actually, I said that for your own good. I could tell that young lady was going to bother you, so I said it on purpose. I helped you fend off unwanted suitors, shouldn't you thank me?"
"Thank you?" Si Yi scoffed. "I'm already being lenient by not asking you to compensate me for the damage to my reputation. And you still expect me to thank you?"
Green Beauty was momentarily at a loss for words, but then, as if remembering something, she retorted, "Speaking of damage to reputation, didn't you call me 'wife' in front of so many people? And I didn't pursue it, did I? Let's call it even."
Si Yi choked for a moment, speechless.
Seeing that he was no longer bringing up the matter, Lü Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, saying, "Now that we have money, shouldn't we go?"
Si nodded. "Yes, I'll go buy a carriage and some provisions for the journey. We'll set off this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao quickly replied, "Then I'll go pack my things."
Si Yi walked to the door, then, as if remembering something, glanced at the dress she was wearing.
The dress she's wearing today is the one she wore when she fell off the cliff last time. Although it's been mended, you can still see the signs of wear and tear.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked back. "Your clothes are old. Do you want to buy a couple of new outfits?"
Lu Qiao was somewhat surprised to see him return. When she heard what he said, she paused for a moment and refused, "No need, the dress is still wearable, don't waste money."
Si frowned, thought for a moment, and said calmly, "You're dressed so shabbily. When we get to Xiangzhou, your young lady will definitely say I'm mistreating you. Go and buy two new dresses to change into."
Towards the end, his tone became commanding.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao looked down at her clothes with some embarrassment. Originally, she didn't think it was a big deal, but after hearing what he said, she suddenly realized that her clothes were indeed very worn.
But when she saw that he was still wearing the same clothes, she couldn't help but say, "You're one to talk, aren't you? You're still wearing those old, worn-out clothes yourself!"
Si paused, his gaze involuntarily falling on the fine stitches on his right sleeve.
It was already torn there, but Lü Qiao repaired it for her.
She wasn't exaggerating; her needlework was indeed excellent. Even though it had been mended, you could hardly tell that the sleeve had originally been badly torn unless you looked closely.
He pursed his lips; this was the first time a woman had helped him mend his clothes.
This feeling was somewhat strange, filling his heart.
His gaze lingered on the patch, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Let's go buy it together," Green Fairy suggested.
Si Yi snapped out of her daze and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
The two bought two sets of clothes, a carriage, some dry food, and other items for the journey. After packing their things at the inn, they prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the house, the shopkeeper suddenly knelt down in front of Si Yi with a thud.
“Young Master Si, I have been serving this young lady the best food and drink these past two days, just as you instructed. See, is the antidote…”
Si Yi said impatiently, "Alright, get up." With that, he tossed him a sugar pill, "This is the antidote, give it to your son."
"Thank you very much, Young Master Si." The shopkeeper, holding the sugar pills, was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Si Yi.
Si Yi ignored him and left the inn with Lü Qiao.
After getting into the carriage, Lü Qiao asked in a low voice, "Was that really the antidote you gave the shopkeeper?"
"Sugar pill." Si Yi sat in the driver's seat, pulled the reins, and the horse immediately started walking.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao was not surprised. "So you didn't actually poison the shopkeeper's son, right?"
Si turned around and saw her squatting by the carriage door talking to him. They were very close, and the wind was blowing her hair, with a few strands playfully brushing against his face.
A slight itch made him feel a little uncomfortable. He turned back and said in a calm voice, "You know too much."
Lü Qiao smiled and said, "Because I know you wouldn't harm a child; you're so kind."
