"You! Break it back for me. If I can't cure this injury, I will be happy to be lame!"
Wen Liyu laughed angrily and her lips trembled. This old man still had the nerve to touch his ankle without hesitation. A girl would want to kick him, right?
The old man frowned, his face became cold, he stood up and rolled up his sleeves, obviously intending to help Wen Liyu: "You don't want to ask, I have been wandering around here for many years, my main business is to buy and sell by force, and to treat you.
If you don’t know what is good or bad, then you should just be lame!”
The inn is located at the junction of the two places. Although it is in the wild, most of the caravan escorts who pass by will rest here. The old man's begging-like medical practice usually only leads to two results: one is that people are generous and generous
The land was given money; the second was that the land with a bruised nose and face was hammered.
But Cheng Weiyao's table showed that there was only one man who had a bruised nose and a swollen face and beat himself up? The old man didn't think that this gentle-looking man could do anything to bully the old man.
"Old sir, don't be impulsive. Everything can be discussed. Ayu, please don't say a few words. Although the old gentleman's medical skills are a bit different from ordinary people, it is a fact that he is clean and neat..."
When Cheng Weiyao saw the tense atmosphere, she smiled and came out to smooth things over. Five taels of silver was indeed too high, but at this juncture, the money was worth it.
When the old man heard Cheng Weiyao's peacemaker tone, his expression became more relaxed, and he sat down slowly. He finally had a sensible person.
"Sister-in-law, you don't really plan to give this old scoundrel any money, do you? We're not rich either..."
Wen Liyu hesitated to speak. Before she could finish her words, Cheng Weiyao gave her a comforting look.
Cheng Weiyao's words were calm and her eyes were sincere. The old man glanced at the clothes of these three people and he probably knew in his mind that they were probably exiled dignitaries. They must have taken care of themselves along the way, and they might not have much money.
"In this way, I'm not an unreasonable person. If I don't have money, it's not a bad idea to exchange it with something. Don't you girls all like gold and silver earrings, jade bracelets, etc..."
The old man coughed lightly and thought of a compromise. Anyway, if you take the jewelry and sell it to a pawn shop, it will be enough money, so at worst, you will have to make an extra trip.
"Be careful, Mr. Don't dislike it."
Cheng Weiyao's consciousness moved and she picked out the jewelry given by the princess last time from the warehouse of QQ Farm. A pair of exquisite earrings appeared in the palm of her sleeve.
Wen Liyu pouted, obviously a little unconvinced. The reason why the officials went through the parcels from the Qingping Palace and found nothing was because the jewelry given by the princess were all concentrated in Cheng Weiyao's place.
Mother also said that she was right in judging people. She could rest assured that Cheng Weiyao would keep the more expensive items here, so she could keep her money. Wasn't she just sending them away eagerly...
"Madam, you are very polite. I see that you are a kind-hearted person and you have eight children..."
The old man's eyes shone. He didn't understand women's jewelry, but he knew it must be worth a lot of money from its delicate appearance. Before he could reach out to take it, another pair of hands grabbed it first.
"Hey, the earrings are quite exquisite. Prince Qingping's palace is quite rich. Old man, just treat it as a filial piety to us. Do you have any opinions?"
Li Kui picked up the earrings with his fingers and bared his teeth at the people at the table with a smile. He asked why the last time he and his brothers went through the large and small luggage in the Qingping Palace, they didn't even find a scrap of silver. It turned out that it was good.
Everything is hidden on her body, or how can she say that Cheng Weiyao is a cunning woman...
"No, no, it should be, Cha Ye, just take it and spend it..."
The old man's face was filled with a forced smile, and his heart was full of resentment. But looking at Li Kui's well-developed biceps, and looking at the table of young and strong officials behind him, he naturally knew how to understand current affairs.
The principles of a hero.
Although this official came here alone, he did represent the entire official team, and he didn’t want to get in touch with people from the government over a trivial matter...
The money fell into the official's pocket, and it was certain that he would never get it back. Cheng Weiyao's expression did not change, and she was somewhat glad that she did not take too much.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's go."
Wen Liyu became angry when she saw Li Kui. If it hadn't been for this damn man, she wouldn't have been injured, and she wouldn't have spent such an unjust amount of money. She immediately greeted Cheng Weiyao with a cold face and planned to go upstairs to rest.
Cheng Weiyao subconsciously stood up and planned to support Wen Liyu. As soon as she raised her arm, she was stopped by Li Kui, who asked in a rude tone: "What do you mean, you still need help at such a young age? Didn't I say it was okay before?
Is it? If you are injured, you should stay where you are and don’t follow the exile team as a dragster..."
Wen Liyu's back teeth were clenching. She must be at odds with these officials, and nothing good would happen every time she met them.
After thinking about it, she stubbornly stood up and limped upstairs, while Cheng Weiyao took a deep look at the direction of the official team and followed Wen Liyu silently.
If someone accidentally rolls down the stairs, the treatment just now will be in vain. If you have me protecting you from behind, you will always be prepared...
"Are you satisfied? You can go back and submit your work."
Wen Chengyun put down the tea cup and followed him upstairs with cold eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Li Kui trembled slightly in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses, glanced at Wen Chengyun's shoulder and muttered softly: "Prisoner, you have a lot of arrogance. I really treat myself as if I have recovered from my injuries."
Awesome?"
Seeing the inexplicably solemn atmosphere, the old man left the inn dejectedly. While the three people upstairs, Wen Chengyun returned to the room, Cheng Weiyao thought of going to Wen Liyu's room to rest.
Wen Liyu happened to have a foot injury. If something happened at night, it would be easier to have someone around to take care of her. Of course, another reason is that since she was exiled, she had very few opportunities to stay in an inn.
Ordinary couples would agree to share a private room, but Cheng Weiyao was either taking care of the imperial concubine when she stayed at the inn, or Wen Chengyun was not there at all when she returned to the room and woke up. It was somewhat awkward for this fake couple to live in the same room...
"Cheng Weiyao, where are you going? Go back to your room. Don't you know it's forbidden to visit rooms at night?"
Before Cheng Weiyao and Wen Liyu could enter, there was a sound from the stairs, and Chen Er's voice came slowly.
"The official has to interfere in such a small matter. Isn't it a little nosy?"
Cheng Weiyao paused as she entered the room and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly. Is it an illusion? I always felt that the officials' attitude towards Prince Qingping's Mansion was more harsh, as if they had been pointed out by someone...
