Chapter 27 Playing the long game
Li Wuyang only said one sentence, "Play the long game to catch the big fish."
Yun Zheng understood that they had something the Nine Thousand Year Old Man wanted. She tactfully stopped asking questions and whispered, "She woke up at the perfect time."
This is clearly eye drops, Ye Yichen is just pretending to be dizzy.
Li Wuyang had a strange look on his face, a hint of a smile, "She's a cunning woman. You have such a strong enemy, your future will be difficult."
Yun Zheng had died once before, so what was there to fear? She was only afraid that she wouldn't be able to pay for her blood debt with blood!
Besides, rebirth is Yun Zheng’s biggest advantage. She knows a lot of things in advance, can avoid traps in advance, and can make predictions in advance.
"She is indeed smart, but too smart."
Ye Yizhen is not only smart, but also incredibly lucky. All good things happen to her.
Li Wuyang looked her up and down and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Yun Zheng held his head high and said seriously, "A truly strong person is not afraid of any challenge."
Li Wuyang's mood was inexplicably high, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "You were scared just now."
Yun Zheng was silent. She was indeed frightened when Wang raised the knife to stab her.
It is one thing not to be afraid of death, but it takes great courage to actually face it.
She still has a lot of things to do.
"If you don't expose it, you are still a good master."
"Oh."
They didn't mention Wang's fate. She was being attacked in front of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man. Is there any need to explain it? A quick death would be good enough.
Everyone left, and Yun Zheng lay quietly on the beauty couch by the window, her brows and eyes calm.
Nanny Ji appeared out of nowhere and said, "Miss, it's getting late, aren't you going back to the Marquis' Mansion?"
She was anxious and worried.
Yun Zheng didn't care at all. "If I go back now, I'll just be used as a punching bag. It's better to have a few more days of leisure outside."
"But, the Marquis' Mansion will use your reputation to control you and slander you..." Nanny Ji has already tied her future to Yun Zheng, so naturally she is thinking about her.
Yun Zheng didn't care at all. "Sleeping out overnight, there's no difference between one day and ten days, right?"
"Don't worry, no matter how bad your reputation is, it can't be worse than Ye Yizhen's. The Marquis' Mansion is in trouble."
Seeing that Aunt Ji was still very uneasy, she smiled and comforted her, "There's someone in front of us, what's there to be afraid of?"
Aunt Ji looked at her unruly master, her head was a mess. Why did she have such a temper? "That's not what I meant..."
Yun Zheng waved her hand and interrupted her, "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow."
Go back and watch the fun, hehe.
Late at night, the courtyard was quiet and everyone was immersed in dreams.
In the side yard, a little child curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly.
The door opened silently, and a dark shadow flashed in. He walked quickly to the bed, picked up the child and walked out.
The sleeping child was startled awake and opened his eyes suddenly, "Help, Sister Yunzheng, save me...Grandpa?"
"It's me." The black shadow's eyes were full of heartache.
Ankang cried and hugged his neck, feeling very aggrieved. "You are finally here. Kang'er was so scared."
A trace of heartache flashed across the old man's eyes, but he kept it hidden. He fiercely scolded, "Let's see if you dare to run away from your servants again in the future."
The child made such a fuss just to get angry with him. Alas, he doesn't know how to discipline the child now.
If you don't take it lightly, it's useless.
If the supervision is too strict, he will run away from home.
If only his wife, son and daughter-in-law were still alive, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
Ankang cried very sadly, "I won't dare to do it again. I was wrong, Grandpa."
The old man was stunned. This child has always been stubborn and never gives in, but now... Alas, this is the result of a great loss.
He patted the child's head and sighed softly, "Don't cry, be good next time."
He walked out with the child in his arms. When he reached the yard, his pupils shrank sharply. It was her! How did she know he would show up tonight?
In the courtyard, Yun Zheng, her white robe fluttering, smiled. "Senior Ghost Doctor, I've been waiting for you for quite some time, and you're just leaving like that? Without even saying a word?"
The old man, Ankang's grandfather, the ghost doctor, looked solemn and said, "I cannot express my gratitude enough for your kindness. I will remember it."
Yun Zheng did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but stayed in Huangjue Temple just to wait for his appearance.
"You still have to thank me. If it weren't for me, you and your grandson would have become a knife in Ye Yizhen's hand, being sold by her and still counting the money."
The ghost doctor frowned, but looking at the child in his arms, he said dryly, "Thank you."
Yun Zheng smiled brightly, "What's the point of just thanking me? Do ten things for me."
The ghost doctor's anger rose, and he sneered, "Then what's the difference between you and Ye Yizhen?"
If it weren't for his grandson's words, "Sister Yun Zheng, save me," he would have already poisoned her. How dare a little girl talk to him like that? Tired of living?
Since Yun Zheng dared to show up, she must have had the confidence. She looked at the child in the Ghost Doctor's arms and said, "Ankang, it's cold outside. Can you go back to the house and rest first?"
He is known as a ghost doctor, so naturally his mind is strange and unpredictable. He doesn't know right or wrong, and his emotions are all determined by his own will.
Since Yun Zheng dared to show up, she must have had the confidence. She looked at the child in the Ghost Doctor's arms and said, "Ankang, it's cold outside. Can you go back to the house and rest first?"
Ankang looked at this and that, a little hesitant, "You two should stop fighting, okay?"
Yun Zheng pinched his little face and said, "I'm a gentleman, I don't fight."
Ankang let her pinch him, and the ghost doctor looked at the scene in astonishment. His grandson hated having his face pinched the most, no matter who it was.
So, Yun Zheng is very special to him?
Ankang looked over eagerly, "Grandpa, Sister Yunzheng is my savior."
The ghost doctor was silent. How long had it been since his grandson became dependent on an outsider? "I know. I won't kill her."
After Ankang entered the house, Yun Zheng slowly spoke, "There is a difference between Ye Yizhen and me. She used conspiracy and trickery to play you and your grandson around, but I tell you openly that you should pay back the money you owe and repay the favors you owe. It's only natural."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the ghost doctor's eyes, and he stared at her grimly.
"You can't keep me. I won't kill you, but I can cripple you."
Yun Zheng was not afraid at all and brushed her hair calmly. "Yes, but I have already reported this to the Ninth Prince. If anything goes wrong with me, I will ask him to issue a warrant to arrest you. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape the Mingjing Division's wanted list."
"What's more, you have a child with you. Do you have the heart to let him hide here and there, constantly trembling with fear, and living in uncertainty?"
The ghost doctor's face turned green. It had to be said that she had hit his most fatal spot.
He dealt with the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, a terrifying man.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, I absolutely don't want to meet that man again.
"Why would Jiuqian Sui help you?"
Yun Zheng looked at him calmly. He was dressed in black, with messy hair and an unshaven beard, and looked very disheveled.
"I have money. I promised to give him several million taels of silver."
"If you double the amount and give him ten million taels of silver, you can get him to cancel the wanted order."
Rich people are so annoying. They spend millions of taels of silver at a time, while I have no more than ten taels of silver in my pocket. At this moment, the Ghost Doctor will never admit that he is jealous!
He pondered for a moment, "I can only agree to three conditions."
Yun Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Since Ankang is so cute, I will suffer a loss. Five conditions."
The Ghost Doctor felt incredibly aggrieved. Who dared to negotiate with him? Only her!
"two."
Yun Zheng was unhappy. "Why are you bargaining so hard? Fine, three is three."
The ghost doctor finally won the game and felt much better, but he didn't notice the smile that flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes.
Everything is under her control.
