Chapter 1009: What is coming cannot be avoided.
"Girl! I went to ask around, and there's a rumor going around that Princess Qingyun is getting married. It's said that the husband is a stunningly beautiful man from outside..."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "What man? Can you tell me more about him?"
The young man lowered his voice and said, "Rumor has it that it was snatched back. No one has seen where it was snatched from or what it looks like, so I haven't found out yet. But just now, when I came to deliver food, I saw a kitchen errand boy in Princess Qingyun's mansion. He happened to be my childhood playmate, and he told me something. He said that the new prince consort is having trouble acclimatizing and isn't feeling well. He's even on a hunger strike..."
Jiang Lianzhu asked worriedly, "Hunger strike?"
She had a hunch that this person was most likely Lin Ziji.
Poor health and thinness have always been Lin Ziji's hallmarks.
Another characteristic of this child is stubbornness!
So stubborn!
Going on a hunger strike is something he can do.
The waiter replied, "Well, he didn't say that. I just guessed it myself. He said that his appetite was poor and he wanted to eat some food from outside. We have a lot of guests coming and going here at the Feng Inn, and the chef in the back can cook a wide variety of dishes. So, he came to me and asked me to make him a few dishes. I rearranged the dishes I prepared for you girls in the yard and he took them back. I thought that if he liked it, then he might have some connection with the person you girls are looking for..."
Jiang Lianzhu kept praising him for his good work.
"Alright! Keep on asking for this clue, and you can also tell them appropriately that I'm a doctor specializing in difficult and complicated illnesses. I have specific remedies for things like poor appetite, physical weakness, especially coughs, fainting spells, and other difficult ailments."
If it were Lin Ziji, there was a high probability that his asthma would relapse after all this trouble.
The young man understood what Jiang Lianzhu meant.
Very clever.
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Lianzhu then asked about his injuries, "Is your back injury feeling better?"
"It's all scabbed over. This medicine is incredibly effective. If you're not in a hurry to go back, you can open a pharmacy in our Lancang Kingdom. I guarantee that your pharmacy will do very well and you'll have no problem supporting your family."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "I'll give you a few more bottles when I leave! Or, I can help you deal with the person who hurt you? That way you won't need to use medicine."
When the young man heard the first half of the sentence, the corners of his mouth cracked a little. When he heard the second half, he was so scared that he shook his head quickly.
"Don't bother the girl."
Escape in a hurry.
After he left, Liao Jiu walked out of the house. He now followed the local customs. In a dynasty where women were superior, men had a low status. It was women who kept up appearances and went out for social events. He was not welcomed when he spoke, so he was too lazy to bother.
Let his wife come.
"Wife, do you mean to use the doctor's identity to sneak in and see if it's really Lin Ziji?"
"Hmm! I think it's most likely him. This kid is very stubborn and has even gone on a hunger strike. We have to find him as soon as possible."
Lin Ziji has never suffered any injustice. Now that he has been captured and brought to the country where women are superior, he will definitely not compromise. He would rather die in glory than live in disgrace.
Nanbao appeared out of nowhere and said, "Now that we've found Brother Ziji, what are we waiting for? Let's just go and get him back! If they don't give it to us, we'll just take him back!"
That sounds quite domineering.
Jiang Lianzhu said cautiously, "We can't be so reckless. There are many warriors in the ninth realm here. Even your parents and I together may not be able to defeat one of them. They came to rob your father, so they are in the wrong. We can beat them up, but if we go to someone else's house to rob him? Or go to the princess's mansion to rob him? Not only will we not be able to get him back, but we may also be beaten to death on the spot. It's not worth it. This is someone else's territory. We can't be reckless. We need to use strategy, understand?"
Nanbao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mommy, but what plan should I use?"
The question made Jiang Lianzhu speechless. "Aren't we thinking about this together? You can help me think about it too. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang."
Liao Jiu said, "Then let's disguise ourselves and go to Princess Qingyun's mansion to check it out. It would be best if we have an identity to sneak in..." The probability of sneaking in is not high. There must be many experts in the princess's mansion. If they sneak in, they will definitely be discovered, alerting the enemy, and they may not be able to save anyone, and even they may not be able to escape.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. I'd like to borrow the doctor's identity to get in," Jiang Lianzhu said. "I just don't know if I can do it. Forget it, let's eat first."
Baby is in the growing stage, so she should eat on time.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the small courtyard again.
Liao Jiu thought that something had happened to the boy again, so he left and came back.
He said impatiently, "Come in."
The yard door creaked open.
A middle-aged woman and a plump young girl were standing outside the door.
Not a boy.
Liao Jiu quickly put on a black face scarf behind Jiang Lianzhu.
The middle-aged woman was carrying large and small bags of things with a smile on her face.
"Hello, my name is Hua. I'm sorry for offending you last night. I've brought my daughter here today to apologize to you two gentlemen."
Mr. is a respectful title, regardless of gender.
Jiang Lianzhu took a look at her aura and saw that she was at the peak state of an eighth-level warrior, half a step away from the ninth level.
People like this, come and apologize to them, outsiders?
It's a bit strange. No matter what, they said they came to apologize, so I can't just leave them alone.
Jiang Lianzhu replied, "It's okay. My husband and I weren't hurt last night, but the girls suffered a bit. I think they were probably drunk and did something stupid. You Lancang people are not so shameless as to rob decent women and men. They will be fine after they sober up. Let's write this matter off and forget about it. There's no need to mention it again, and there's no need to apologize."
Their intentions are unclear. Let's first divide the responsibilities. There's no way you can ask them to compensate for your medical expenses.
Bringing parents to the house is either to sincerely apologize or to vent their anger on behalf of their younger generation.
But a real apology is absolutely impossible. First of all, they are locals and have high cultivation. When the younger generation of their family returns, they are covered in injuries. Normal people will not come to apologize for the sake of sincerity. The chances of them coming to vent their anger for the younger generation are greater.
No one knew what this person was up to, so Jiang Lianzhu prepared for the worst.
If there is a fight, it is easy to deal with if the other party is alone, but if he brings companions in the dark, you will have to deal with him properly.
Over there, the middle-aged woman seemed to have guessed Jiang Lianzhu's thoughts. She smiled slightly and said, "I came here with absolutely no ill intentions. I really just brought my daughter here to apologize. I didn't bring anyone else with me. It's just the two of us. Can you let us in to talk?"
Jiang Lianzhu wanted to say no, but the other person had already walked in.
What is coming cannot be avoided.
The plump young girl followed her mother and stepped into the yard cautiously.
