After saying that, he wanted to close the door and help Qin Zhao in.
But a hand held the door.
Jing Li raised his head.
"We've been chatting for a while now, so I hope Madam Qin won't blame me."
Before Jing Li could answer, the latter continued, "It's getting late now, and curfew will be soon. Brother Qin has agreed to let me stay at your house for one night. What do you think..."
Jing Li: “…”
This guy messed up his family Qin Zhao like this, and he still wants to live in his house???
Jing Li looked Xiao Yue up and down for a moment, feeling a little complicated.
Qin Zhao rarely brought strangers home. Not only was he worried about Xiao Yuzi's identity being exposed, but also because the facts surrounding Qin Zhao's murder had not yet been verified. They were much more cautious in their lives and interactions in the prefectural capital than in the village.
Jing Li turned his head to look at the person in his arms. Qin Zhao had his eyes closed, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
There is no way to ask.
But since Qin Zhao brought him home, there shouldn't be any problem.
Jing Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Come in, you can stay in my study for a while."
Xiao Yue smiled: "Thank you."
Xiao Yue helped Jing Li down, then came forward and asked, "What's wrong, sir?"
"It's burning again." Jing Li couldn't care less about anything else and ordered, "I'll take Qin Zhao back to the house first. This Mr. Xiao is staying at home tonight. Ah Qi, take him to the study."
Ah Qi: "Yes."
Xiao Yue also said: "Mrs. Qin, don't worry about me. It's more important to take care of Brother Qin."
Jing Li nodded, turned around, and helped Qin Zhao into the inner courtyard. Xiao Yue watched the two men leave, lost in thought.
Ah Qi whispered, "General Xiao, please follow me."
Xiao Yue turned around and smiled when he heard this: "I thought everyone around Qin Shu had died. It seems you are lucky."
He seldom returned to the Central Plains, so the only person who could recognize his identity at a glance must be Qin Zhao's former subordinate.
Ah Qi remained silent. Xiao Yue asked again, "Doesn't her husband know about this?"
"I don't know." Ah Qi said, "Madam has a simple personality. The prince doesn't want her to be involved in these things. I hope the general..."
"I understand." Xiao Yue waved his hand. "It's just a matter of not revealing his identity. Don't worry."
Xiao Yue's eyes were filled with even more interest as he said slowly, "Since we know each other well, as long as Mr. Qin does what he promised me, I will still give him this little favor."
As he walked forward, he heard a crisp sound at his feet.
He had drunk quite a bit tonight and was no longer sober. He lost his balance and kicked the flowerpot in the yard, breaking it.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Ah Qi: “…”
Xiao Yue secretly thought that he was unlucky and coughed lightly: "However much silver, I will pay double."
Ah Qi nodded. He had no final say on the matter and would discuss it with the master and his wife tomorrow.
Ah Qi turned around and continued to lead Xiao Yue towards the study.
But Xiao Yue seemed to be fully drunk tonight. He walked crookedly for a short distance, kicked three flower pots, crushed two porcelain cups of the little fish, and nearly fell headfirst into the flower bed in front of the study.
"That's weird." Xiao Yue knocked his head against the white porcelain on the flower bed, breaking it. He felt dizzy and was helped into the house by Ah Qi. "I don't usually get drunk so easily..."
