Chapter 307 Set of Seals
Chapter 307 Set of Seals
"Knock bang." There was a knock on the door. Yue Wuchen and the old man looked at each other and opened the door.
It was a pretty maid, she was standing there with a tray in her hand and a smile on her face.
"My lord, how are you? I was sent by the county lady to bring you medicine."
Yue Wuchen turned aside to let Chunlan in, and asked in confusion: "What kind of medicine is this?"
Chunlan looked at the old man beside her and said, "The county lady said this is a tonic soup! Please take it to nourish your body."
The old man frowned: "Is this how tonic soup is used? I don't drink it."
"No, old man!" Chunlan said innocently, "You look so weak, just drink a sip. The county lady's family is rich anyway, so it would be a waste if you don't drink it, and it will be worth it if you drink it!"
As he said this, he looked drooling.
The old man still had some resistance. Although he knew that Bai Zhaozhao would not harm him at this critical moment, he could still vividly remember how Bai Zhaozhao wanted to kill him before. So he said unhappily, "What do you know? A person who is weak cannot be nourished. Besides, I am lacking in vitality, not weak!"
"Tsk!" Chunlan's expression suddenly changed, and she said disdainfully, "It's up to you to drink it or not! You really don't know what's good for you! You wasted my county mistress's prescription!"
"You..." The old man was stunned. How could Bai Zhaozhao's maid be so arrogant?
"Wait a minute!" Yue Wuchen suddenly spoke up, then leaned over to smell the bowl of medicine, his expression changed: "Third Uncle, why don't you try a bite?"
The old man knew something was wrong, so he took a sip. This... was completely different from the tonic soup on the market! He took another sip, savoring it slowly. It was absolutely delicious!
Yue Wuchen also understood Bai Zhaozhao's intention, and everyone hoped that the transaction could go smoothly.
In this way, the old man slowly tasted and thought, and fell into a state of confusion and trance.
Chunlan turned her head to show that she didn't understand, and urged: "Old man, can't you drink faster? I have to collect night dew for the county lady later! My county lady said that tea made from night dew is the best, and she will use it to entertain guests later!"
The old man said indifferently, "You go and do your work. I can ask another servant to take the bowl away after I finish drinking."
"That won't do. My county mistress said that her prescription is extremely precious, and even the dregs cannot be left to others!"
Old man: …
Chunlan's words just reminded him that the drug residue could also be studied!
So the old man winked at Yue Wuchen, and Yue Wuchen had no choice but to step forward and said, "Young lady, I can see that you admire your county mistress very much!"
"Of course!" Chunlan said proudly, "My county lady is not only beautiful, but also smart, well-educated, gentle and generous! Alas, it's a pity that she is too weak to take care of herself..."
Yue Wuchen's expression was indescribable: "What did you say? Are you sure you are talking about Princess Zhaohe? She is so weak that she can't take care of herself?"
"Yes!" Chunlan blinked and said innocently, "You don't know, right? My county lady is timid and doesn't even dare to kill a chicken! I did it for her!"
Yue Wuchen: "...Not killing chickens doesn't mean you can't kill people."
Chunlan was immediately furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my county lady kill someone? Oh, I know! You must have believed the rumors in the capital!
Hey, young master, you can't believe it! The confiscation of Dingyuan Marquis's mansion had nothing to do with my county lady!"
Yue Wuchen: What kind of feng shui can raise such an innocent girl? I can ask some questions.
"Girl, I just happen to want to go to the garden too, why don't we go together?"
Chunlan said indifferently: "Okay!"
A moment later, two figures appeared in the garden, and the sound of their conversation could be heard from time to time.
"Look, my county lady is amazing."
……
"I don't believe it, you must be lying to me!"
"Really! I'm not lying to you!"
……
"Oh my god! You know so much!"
……
"You are so awesome! Is that person crazy? How could he do this to you?"
……
"Don't believe them. I understand you! This is your freedom! Life is short, why make things difficult for yourself?"
……
"Don't bother with those toads! You see, I'm different. If I were them, I would set up a longevity tablet for you at home!"
……
"Oh my god! It turned out to be like this! My county lady said that scumbags should die! You did the right thing, I support you!"
……
An hour later, Yue Wuchen returned to the guest room contentedly. He did not expect that a mere maid could be so insightful, had no worldly prejudices, and could understand his choice.
He seemed to have encountered a resonance of soul.
Bai Lin's room.
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes widened in surprise: "Sister! Are you saying that the woman who was deceived is his sister?"
"Yes, Miss." Chunlan said proudly, "Although he didn't say it explicitly, we can infer that it is his sister."
Bai Zhaozhao nodded. It turned out that you need to find a professional to get the truth from others.
Although she was also good at asking questions, Yue Wuchen was very wary of her and was not willing to chat with her at all.
According to Chunlan, Yue Wuchen has a younger sister who fell in love with a man. The man often wrote her letters full of sweet words, which deceived her feelings. Later, she met the man outside and he actually told her to give up!
In a fit of anger, she returned to the Yue family and fell ill!
No matter how advanced the Yue family's medical skills are, they cannot cure this lovesickness.
Afterwards, she decided to take the man's letter to find out the truth, but she was kidnapped and later rescued by Yue Wuchen.
"By the way, Miss." Chunlan continued, "This Yue Gongzi is a gay man, you have to be careful!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ???
"He's gay, why should I be careful?"
"I guess the person he likes likes you, my lady!"
Bai Zhaozhao:!!!
You can see this!
Bai Zhaozhao said earnestly, "Chunlan, I really wasted your talent before. How did you do it?"
Chunlan said modestly: "Miss, you are too kind. Men are like children. You just need to coax them!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"That's it? Speaking of compliments, Yue Wuchen must have heard a lot of them!"
"Miss, it's coaxing, not complimenting. You have to inadvertently express your approval, admiration, and stand up for the injustice!"
"...Any more?"
"Oh, it still takes a little while. After I took the tonic you mentioned, I revealed some things about you. But don't worry, everything I told them is known to everyone!"
Bai Zhaozhao was impressed. It turned out that the best hunters often appeared as prey.
"Well done. You should talk to him more often recently."
"Yes, miss!"
With the help of Bai Zhaozhao's tonic soup, the old man recovered smoothly, and three days later he asked to practice Qigong again.
Bai Zhaozhao naturally agreed, and watched from the side with Yue Wuchen as usual. This time, Bai Zhaozhao did not deliberately ask Yue Wuchen questions.
Unexpectedly, Yue Wuchen took the initiative to speak after a while: "County Master, you don't seem to be nervous anymore."
Bai Zhaozhao said calmly: "I said I'm not nervous."
"It seems that I overthought it. I thought the county lady would be afraid of having a brother who is like a blank sheet of paper."
"It's not fear, it's acceptance." Bai Zhaozhao said softly, "If he can return to normal, I will congratulate him. If he becomes a blank sheet of paper, then I will help him to understand the world again."
Yue Wuchen was a little dazed: "But he is no longer the pillar of your Bai family, nor is he the top scholar of the imperial court."
Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Yes! But he will always be himself! If he doesn't have any other halos, then he doesn't have them!"
Yue Wuchen's expression was gloomy and he stopped talking.
The old man practiced his skills for three hours and was already sweating profusely, but he still persisted.
Finally, he stopped and said in a joyful voice with a hint of excitement: "It's done!"
Bai Zhaozhao and Yue Wuchen hurried forward, but one went to see Bai Lin and the other went to support the old man.
Bai Lin looked very good, his breathing was even, and he showed signs of opening his eyes.
The old man put away the soul-calming jade and went to rest.
Yue Wuchen and Bai Zhaozhao were left waiting quietly.
