Jin Yue bent down and lifted the car curtain, and at a glance she saw the sugar stains on Song Huan's hands. She immediately collected her thoughts and took out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve pocket.
There was clean water in the carriage. Jin Yue wet the handkerchief with it and said, "Madam, please wipe your hands."
Looking at the white brocade handkerchief handed to him, Song Huan opened his palm and saw that the sugar stains were flowing from his palm to his wrist, which was very sticky.
Song Huan took the handkerchief, thanked Jin Yue, then lowered his head and wiped the sugar stains off his palm bit by bit.
But halfway through, her eyes suddenly tightened. Something was wrong.
"Stop." She hurriedly stopped the system that was still reporting dangerous events.
"Tell me again, why are candied haws dangerous? Are they poisoned?"
When the system told her that the candied haws were a source of danger, she subconsciously thought that the candied haws were poisoned, so she interrupted the system to explain the cause of the danger and the solution to the candied haws incident.
But the old man selling candied haws, from whom Jinle often bought candied haws, didn't seem like a bad person...
And how did the people in the East City Market know that she came back here today? The people here probably don't know who she is, right?
"Okay, dear." At this time, the broadcast of the dangerous incident stopped abruptly. After the system paused for one second, the electronic sound continued to sound -
"Cause of danger: After Jinle buys the candied haws, you will choose to leave the East City Market for some reason. When you leave, the side of your carriage with the Marquis's Mansion emblem will be exposed to everyone at the East City Market..."
“…???” I really believed in this broken system!
Song happily sat up, lifted the car curtain and said, "Stop!"
The driver had just set up the carriage and the horse had just taken two steps when he heard Song Huan's urgent shout. He hurriedly pulled the reins, reined in the horse, and stopped.
However, the driver stopped in a hurry, and Song Huan stood up suddenly, so he was caught off guard and fell into the carriage with a thud.
Song Huan: “…”
My butt hurts...
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Jin Yue hurriedly got up to help Song Huan. The doubts that had been suppressed in her heart rose up again. Why did the Madam act so strangely today?
“…” Something’s wrong, it hurts.
But Song Huan couldn't say it.
This was not the time to hug myself and cry.
"It's okay." Song Huan clenched his fists and silently cursed Pei Yan hundreds of times in his heart. It was all because this guy had too many enemies!
She exhaled slowly and moved out of the carriage while enduring the pain.
The driver hurriedly apologized to Song Huan, but Song Huan waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, "I spoke too hastily, it's not your fault."
When Qin Shi and Jin Liu saw Song Huan get off the carriage, their expressions tensed up at the same time. Qin Shi came over and asked, "Madam, do you have anything else to do?"
Song Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at the market for a moment.
In fact, only a few people were paying attention to what was happening on her side, and more people were looking past them and in the direction where their carriage was coming from.
"Are you familiar with Ning County?"
Song Huan didn't answer but asked instead, retracting his gaze to look at Qin Shijin and the other two, "Did this East City Market always have many martial artists?"
The two were stunned when they heard this.
The two of them have been in Ning County for five years. Even when their master returned to Beijing last year, they did not go back, but stayed in Ning County to guard it.
Throughout the year, during festivals and holidays, if there was no war, they would come to the east city market a few times to buy things.
Although this place used to be a mixed bag with all kinds of people, it never had as many unfathomable masters as it does today...
Qin Shi and the other man looked very solemn, but Qin Shi still said, "Madam, it is precisely because this place is unusual that the two of us are going to escort you back home."
Jin Liu echoed, "Madam, the master has ordered that your safety be prioritized. Please get in the carriage and leave this place."
Song Huan: "..." Why don't these two people respond according to the routine?
The current situation is that you will die faster if you leave than if you don’t leave, okay?
And... Song Huan also wanted to know what the situation was between Pei Yan and the heroine in the book...
Humph. If that guy really had something to do with Cui Yuning, she wouldn't give in!
"Think carefully, why have so many unusual people suddenly appeared here? Who are they most likely here for?"
There was a hint of coldness in Song Huan's eyes. Some things should be said briefly and there was no need to go into details.
She believed that the person Pei Yan sent to watch her would not be too stupid and must have understood what she meant.
Perhaps they had already guessed the reason for the abnormality before her, and that was why they had tried to trick her into leaving first...
"Let's go to the teahouse first." After listening to the dozen or so dangerous events told to her by the broken system, Song Huan set her sights on the Shengyuan Teahouse at the corner of the market.
She suffered the least harm in that house, only her hands turned red from the hot tea.
It’s okay if it’s hot, it’s no big deal.
Qin Shi and Jin Liu wanted to stop them again, but after seeing the teahouse that Song Huan pointed to, they moved their lips but finally said nothing and listened to Song Huan's instructions.
Upon hearing this, the coachman asked if he wanted to drive the carriage over as well.
Song Huan naturally replied that it was not necessary.
joke.
She couldn't leave this dangerous place, largely because of the carriage with the Pei Hou Mansion logo!
In the East City Market, the few people who had been paying attention to Song Huan and the others whispered a few words to each other after Song Huan got off the carriage and entered the teahouse, and then focused all their attention on Pei Yan who was about to arrive.
…
As soon as Song Huan entered the teahouse, he felt that Shengyuan Teahouse was completely different from the tense atmosphere outside.
The owner of the teahouse was wearing a green cloth shirt. When Song Huan came in, he was reading a book with great interest.
The teahouse was very quiet and empty.
There were only two tables of guests in the entire lobby.
Seeing someone step into the teahouse, the shopkeeper glanced at Song Huan and the others indifferently, then looked away and continued reading the book in his hand.
The waiter came up to Song Huan, his attitude was much more enthusiastic than the owner, and he asked with a smile, "Madam, would you like to have tea in the lobby or in the private room on the second floor?"
Song Huan asked, "Are there any private rooms with a view of the street outside?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Of course. But please forgive me, madam, before I take you to the private room, I need to tell you the rules of our restaurant."
Song Huan was stunned: "Rules?"
Guy: “Yes, ma’am.”
"...You say." Song Huan looked at the guy quietly, and seemed to vaguely recall a plot in his heart.
At the same time, the waiter simply said, "The minimum consumption for a private room in our restaurant is five hundred taels."
Yes.
Song Huan looked calm and composed.
This teahouse is owned by Uncle Qin. After the hero and heroine in the book became acquainted with Uncle Qin, the heroine once asked Uncle Qin that Uncle Qin had an absurdly expensive teahouse where tea in the lobby cost three hundred taels and tea in the private room cost five hundred taels. Could such an expensive teahouse make money in the barren land of Ning County?
Song Huan still remembered Uncle Qin's answer.
He said there are always fools willing to give money.
Song Huan is probably the fool that Uncle Qin mentioned today.
"I see."
Song Huan said calmly, "Take me upstairs."
Hearing this, the waiter didn't ask any more questions and respectfully led Song Huan and the others upstairs.
When they got to the second floor, the waiter found a private room with the best location for Song Huan.
"Madam, please come in—"
The waiter ushered Song Huan in, then brought out the teahouse's menu on a jade plate and said, "Madam, what would you like to drink? Our specialty this month is Baihao Yinzhen..."
"I'll take this one."
Song Huan glanced out the window as she spoke. At this moment, she couldn't see Pei Yan and the heroine in the book yet, but she had just asked the system and found out that the two were less than half a kilometer away from her.
"The pastries also need your shop's sign." She lowered her eyes to glance at Yudie, "Take this down."
If unfortunately, the war affected this teahouse, Song Huan didn't want to pay the money for Yudie.
The waiter now realized that Song Huan was not interested in drinking tea, so he left the room with the jade butterfly after saying, "Please wait a moment, madam."
After the guy left, Qin Shi and Jin Liu looked at each other, walked to the window, and were about to close all the windows.
Song Huan: “???”
"What are you two doing?"
Qin Shi's men kept saying, "Madam, for your safety, the windows of the teahouse cannot be opened."
Jin Liu continued, "Actually, if Madam is willing, it would be best if we could move to a private room on the side that's not facing the street."
Song Huan: "..." The devil?
How could she watch Pei Yan cheating if she closed the window?
"Leave one." Song Huan pointed to the middle window, "Leave this one."
Qin Shi: “…”
Jin Liu: “…”
I'm afraid not.
Song Huan watched them put their hands in front of the two doors of the middle window, his eyes suddenly cold, "This is an order."
The two men paused.
"What?" Song Huan looked at the two of them coldly: "Did the Marquis order you to obey him only?"
"Madam, you misunderstood." The two men turned around and said with a bow, "We are only concerned about your safety!"
Song Huan sneered, "Don't I care about my own life?"
"..." Qin Shi and Jin Liu looked up at Song Huan in surprise, then quickly lowered their eyes.
Seeing this, Song Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
Really, these people are all hard-hearted and they insist that she learn from Pei Yan and put on a cold face.
She stood up, took two steps forward, and said with considerable force, "I have the ability to protect myself, and I also have the ability to judge safety and danger."
As soon as she finished speaking, the system suddenly sounded a prompt: "Warning: The heroine of the book "Cui Yuning" will arrive at the East City Market in ten seconds. Please evacuate as soon as possible."
Song Huan: "Got it. Is Pei Yan here too?"
She said that when she looked out the window, she saw a group of men in black on horseback galloping towards her from the opposite street.
System: "Warning: The heroine of the book, Cui Yuning, has appeared within your sight."
Song Huan: "...Excuse me, among the group of people in black, which one is she?"
System: "Dear, please observe carefully."
Song Huan looked intently... "Sorry, I really can't see it. Blame it on my poor eyesight."
At this moment, the system said: "Warning: As soon as the capture target "Pei Yan" appears within your sight..."
Song Huan looked up again...
Well, she saw Pei Yan.
