"Of course not..." Jing Li said, "But we've been living here, and it seems like there hasn't been any progress."
Even if the days were peaceful, Jing Li still felt a sense of unease. As long as the situation wasn't resolved, Qin Zhao would be in danger of being exposed. He simply couldn't remain as calm as he was.
This emotion is indeed somewhat contradictory.
He hoped that life would continue peacefully and that Qin Zhao would not encounter any trouble or danger. He also hoped that things would be resolved soon.
Jing Li was so worried that he couldn't sit still. He decided to stop thinking about it and took the little fish out to buy some.
As November approached, the capital city became very cold. Qin Zhaosheng was not likely to get sick at this critical moment, so he simply reduced the number of times he went out.
But Jingli couldn't sit still.
He was a person who tended to have random thoughts when he was idle, so he took the initiative to take on most of the housework, including going out to buy groceries.
After half a month, Jing Li had already known the area thoroughly.
The father and son bought the necessary items at the market, went to the street corner to buy some cakes, and then walked back with a candied haws each.
The clothes they both wore were made of the same material. On the back of each of their bright red jackets was embroidered a lifelike carp, one large and one small, as if they were carved from the same mold, which was particularly adorable.
Jing Li was walking towards home with Xiao Yuzai. Before he got close, he saw a strange figure sneaking into the alley next to his front door.
Jing Li frowned and subconsciously pulled the little fish.
That alleyway… clearly leads to his backyard, and it’s a dead end.
Who is that?
Could it be that he discovered Qin Zhao's identity and wanted to harm him?
Jing Li stood there thinking for a moment, without further delay, picked up the little fish and hurried back home.
Qin Zhao was probably reading in the study at this hour. Jing Li put the little fish cub in the yard and told him, "Go find Daddy. Keep your voice down."
The little fish nodded obediently, took the half-eaten candied haws from Jing Li, turned around and ran away.
If they were really coming for Qin Zhao, they naturally couldn't call him along. He was a sickly person right now, so not only would he be of no help, he might even be in danger.
I can only look for Ah Qi.
But Jing Li walked around the house and didn't see the young man. After careful consideration, he didn't dare to delay any longer and tiptoed to the backyard.
The person who entered the alley seemed to have just walked outside the wall. Through the white wall, Jing Li heard faint footsteps coming from outside.
His back door was usually unlocked. A carriage was parked in the yard leading to it, and at the other end was a simple stable. Jing Li squatted beside the stable, peeked out, and saw the back door being gently pushed open.
Jing Li's heart was beating fast. From his angle, he could only see a pair of unfamiliar cloth boots stepping in. Without thinking too much, he picked up the broom next to the stable and hit it -
“Ouch!”
The other person was hit on the head by Jing Li. He screamed in pain and took a half step back. Unexpectedly, he stepped on empty air and hit the back of his head hard on the door panel, causing him to faint.
Only then did Jing Li see the other person's true face.
Isn’t this... Deng Tianyou, the governor of Jiangling?
