◇ Chapter 38: Scary if you think about it carefully, scary if you think about it roughly
After Chen Gui shared this private news that no one in the villa knew about, the guilty conscience of kidnapping the kind-hearted child finally eased a lot. He chatted with An Qin for a few more words and then went up the mountain lightly.
Although he didn't know what misunderstanding made the master think that he was about to succeed, it was the master's personal order after all, so Shen Gui still followed Shen Yanheng's instructions and asked people to start buying some things needed for the wedding.
No matter what, always be prepared.
An Qin couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He still heard the words "The owner of the manor is a homosexual" and his mind was blank.
At first, he couldn't quite understand why Shen Gui suddenly told him the private affairs of the manor owner - how could they, as subordinates, ask about the master's private affairs? But after thinking about it carefully, it might be because he was about to become a secret guard.
The owner of the manor has high hopes for him and believes that he will be able to complete the task successfully. Chen Gui told him this in advance, probably to make him pay attention and not violate the owner's taboos.
"elder brother!"
A cheerful voice came into An Qin's ears.
After An Xiner saw Chen Gui leave, she came back carrying two beautiful silk dresses. "Brother, look! These are made of Qingyun yarn. They change color in the sunlight! The other day, Sister Li next door was showing off to me that her husband spent all his commission on the Qingyun yarn handkerchiefs he bought her. I didn't expect the owner of the manor to give her two!"
An Xiner turned around holding her skirt, and the layered hem of the skirt flashed with colorful lights, as if it was inlaid with tiny gems.
Both of them are good-looking. When An Xiner wears this dress, she will look more like one of the noble ladies in the imperial city.
An Qin felt something was amiss: "How many times has the owner of the manor come to deliver gifts this month?"
An Xiner: "Five or six times."
An Qin asked, "Does anyone else have it?"
An Xiner thought for a moment and said, "It seems not. Sister Li's family only had people deliver things every half a week. These were all delivered by Uncle Shen himself. Oh, even the monthly supply was delivered by Uncle Shen himself."
After An Qin's reminder, An Xiner also realized that something was wrong.
They are all assassins, and they are all assassins' families. Every month, the manor will send them several boxes of things they need for their daily lives. As an outstanding assassin in recent years, An Qin often receives extra rewards. An Xiner has never lacked food and drink since she moved in here, but only twice a month at most.
He came five or six times this month, but only once he brought food. The rest of the time he brought two large boxes, one of which contained women's jewelry and clothes, and the other was specifically for Anqin. Sometimes it contained poison and hidden weapons, and sometimes it was clothes and boots.
No one else had it, but their family had it. An Xiner blinked in confusion, and suddenly realized: "Brother, could it be that you solved the owner's biggest worry?"
An Qin, whose assassination attempt had failed, responded: "..."
"Isn't it?" An Xiner stammered when she saw her brother's thin lips tightly closed.
Then he suddenly covered his mouth and said, "Does the owner want me to..."
An Qin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at An Xiner. The brother and sister understood what An Xiner meant without saying much.
The owner of the manor is still unmarried. When he brought them back ten years ago, they were teenagers. Now they are only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Huang Chongwen is dead, and his parents' revenge has been achieved. The next step is to find a good partner and start a family.
Before Chen Gui came today, An Qin might have thought that An Xin'er was right. Although they were of humble status, Xin'er was well-behaved and sensible. Marrying into Fengyue Villa, even as a concubine, would be an excellent destination for her. He believed that the owner of the villa would not treat Xin'er unfairly.
but……
Chen Gui said that the owner of the manor was a homosexual.
“…”
An Qin shook his head silently.
An Xiner breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought so too. The owner of the manor has never met me. But it's not for these reasons. It can't be that he has too much money and nowhere to spend it. Hahahaha, brother, could it be that the owner of the manor has taken a fancy to you? By the way, I've also risen to prominence."
An Xin'er felt much more at ease without having to worry about being forced to repay a favor and marry a man she had never met. She smiled and joked with An Qin.
But this time, her brother didn't tell her with a cold expression as usual to stop talking nonsense and making up stories about the master.
An Qin was stunned by An Xiner's words, and his expression gradually became strange.
An Xiner opened her mouth, then pursed it in surprise, her deer-like eyes blinking, as if she was thinking about something.
Her brother is so handsome... Oh no, could she be right?
She swallowed hard, "Brother, I'm just kidding. You haven't seen the owner of the manor once in the past ten years. How could he... oh my water seems to be boiling, I'm leaving!"
Huh? My brother's expression seems to have become even uglier.
Oh, I almost forgot, her brother is a die-hard fan of the owner of the manor, and the fact that he hasn't seen the owner of the manor for ten years has touched a sore spot for him.
An Xiner closed her mouth as if nothing had happened, took two steps back holding her skirt, and slipped away.
An Qin's brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like they could have pinched a fly to death. The doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. From these flashy jewelry and clothes, he gradually thought of the Taifu who lived a carefree and romantic life in the imperial city.
He would not originally compare that shameless guy with his savior. After all, putting this guy and the owner of the manor together was no different from blasphemy. But it was An Xiner's words that made him feel that there was something fishy about it.
For example, he hadn't seen the owner of the manor for ten years, so why did the owner send these things to him?
He originally thought that Chen Gui's words were a reminder for him to be careful of his master's personal habits when he became a secret guard in the future, but considering these valuable things, it was hard not to think too much about it.
For example, the owner's things started to increase in the past two months, and almost all of them were things that interested him, such as poisons and various hidden weapons.
For example, men in the Liang Dynasty could get married in their teens. The owner of the manor is at least twenty-five or twenty-six now, but has never married. Today we find out that he is a homosexual. And that Chen Yanheng... is about the same.
Two unmarried homosexuals of similar age began to pay him attention almost at the same time...
And the special poison he used at Fengyue Villa was detoxified by Shen Yanheng. He was unstoppable in his assassinations, and Shen Yanheng knew his moves perfectly. He even took possession of the most secret ledger of Fengyue Villa's assassins and secret guards, and at the back of it was a letter personally written by the villa owner, escorting Shen Yanheng to Jiangzhou...
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
This is scary even at first glance.
If it weren't for the fact that asking his subordinates to assassinate him was a fantasy, An Qin would even suspect that the owner of the manor and Shen Yanheng were the same person.
But how could there be such a mentally ill person in this world who doesn't care about his own life...
But I have never heard that the owner of the manor has any brothers or friends.
The more An Qin thought about it, the more confused his mind became. There were so many coincidences when so many events were connected together.
"Xin'er, I'm going out for a while, take care of yourself!"
An Qin carried his bag, rushed out of the door, jumped on his horse, and rode away.
