Chapter 281 No change
For Mr. Leng, although he has to start over after leaving his hometown, at least he feels comfortable and no one will bother him anymore.
But who knew, the situation didn't seem to get much better after arriving in Jiaoye City, because the things that bothered him changed from people to things.
In the past, it was those blood-sucking relatives who were annoying, but now it is the constant troubles that cause trouble.
But no matter how bad things got, he never doubted the people around him...including Liu.
Thinking back now, what kind of attitude did Mr. Liu express when he left home?
like……
"Master, how can we have an overnight feud if we are all one family? If you argue and make noise with them like this, people who know will know that they are greedy. But if word gets out, won't it be said that you don't care about family ties and are cold-blooded and selfish?"
It's been so long that he can no longer remember the exact words, but the general meaning is this.
Mrs. Liu had been trying to persuade him at first, saying that everything would be prosperous only if the family was harmonious, but Master Leng knew that matters between him and his family could not be solved simply. If he took a step back, they would only intensify their demands.
So he didn't listen to Liu's words and insisted on moving out by himself.
Later, Mrs. Liu stopped trying to persuade him and continued to serve him seriously. She only occasionally acted coquettishly and said she wanted to buy some clothes and jewelry. She would just wave her hand and let her pay the money from the warehouse.
When Jiang Chu's words reminded Master Leng, he immediately had a guess in his mind——
She was tampering with the fruit ice to make her business decline so she could take revenge on those in her family?
And the money she openly asked for from herself and the money she got secretly was probably given to her family members, right?
Yes, Master Leng has always known that Mr. Liu loves money. Not only will he ask for money from him to buy things, secretly he also likes to pick good things from the warehouse for his own use.
Manager Shao had told him these things a long time ago. He had always known about them, but he only acquiesced and condoned them.
Some things were placed in her room, and he would see them when he entered, while others were invisible. She said that she had kept all the valuables, and having money in her hand made her feel at ease.
Master Leng has been turning a blind eye to this. Anyway, the family does not lack her money. Doesn’t his woman just have to be pampered? Loving money is not a problem. Don’t he also love money?
, otherwise why would you work so hard to make money in business?
but now……
"Master Jiang, are you sure?"
Master Leng put aside the complicated thoughts in his heart and asked Jiang Chu.
"There should be an alchemist in Mr. Leng's house, right? Even if he doesn't, we can still invite an alchemist to come. Why don't we just ask Mrs. Liu to make a bowl of ice and send it over, and we can check it out." Jiang Chu said.
She did not miss the confusion on Mr. Leng's face. He was betrayed and had been doing it for more than ten years. Not to mention him, even she felt chilled when she heard it.
What kind of concubine is this? She is clearly a snake and scorpion!
Of course, the premise is that it is really related to the fruit ice, and there is no other reason that Master Leng ignored.
"Okay, Master, wait a moment."
Master Leng nodded and opened the door, "Daqing, go and tell Mrs. Liu to make two bowls of fruit ice. I want to share it with the distinguished guests."
"yes."
The servant at the door agreed and hurried away, while Master Leng also went to find the alchemist.
Jiang Chu discovered that there were really few servants in the Leng family. The reason why there were servants everywhere was because they were following Mr. Leng. There would always be at least one servant around Mr. Leng.
And these servants don't seem to just care about one job, they almost go wherever there is work.
This is quite good, as it allows people to make the best use of it, saves money, and the atmosphere at home is also good.
Jiang Chu sat down and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, Master Leng came over with his servants.
"Master Jiang, look, this is fruit ice."
There were two green porcelain bowls in the small basket, with some fruits cut into pieces and some ice-cold soup inside. When I brought them over, I felt a coolness and the sweet smell from the fruits.
But Jiang Chu discovered that there was a difference between the two bowls.
Although they are both green, one has patterns on it, which makes it more elegant, while the other is solid color with no extra decoration.
"This is my usual bowl."
Master Leng pointed to the patterned bowl.
Jiang Chu nodded.
"The alchemist will be here soon. Here are the Qiling Flowers and the Spiritual Essence Liquid."
Master Leng took out two things from his sleeves and handed them to Jiang Chu.
Jiang Chu was stunned.
"The spirit-accumulating liquid can quickly replenish all spiritual energy, and it can also eliminate fatigue. Master, please use it."
Compared with pills, this spirit-accumulating liquid is much more precious, because after taking the elixir, you can only get one or two more pills, but this spirit-accumulating liquid can directly replenish the state.
Not only can the state be replenished, but the physical fatigue after many fortune tellings can also be eliminated. It can be said to be a must-have magic medicine for fortune telling masters.
Jiang Chu herself had Yunling Liquid, which was given to her by Uncle Gu. However, she felt that the items were a bit valuable, and under normal circumstances, they could be solved with pills, and there was no need to take Yunling Liquid, so she kept it.
, and have not been used.
but now……
After finishing the divination, Jiang Chu was indeed very tired, and Jiang Chu was not polite to Master Leng, so he took it after thanking him.
The liquid is obviously cold, but when you take it in your mouth, it turns into a warm current, which makes your whole body feel nourished and comfortable.
Then, heat surged up to his forehead, and the warm feeling soothed the discomfort caused by the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
"Thank you, Mr. Leng. I've used this spirit-accumulating liquid, but it's better for Qilinghua to wait until the truth of the matter is revealed before giving it to you."
Jiang Chu, however, refused to drop the Qiling Flower.
She indeed came here for the Qiling Flower, but the truth has not been revealed yet, and she is not in a hurry at this moment.
Anyway, she was confident that this thing would be hers in the end.
But Master Leng shook his head, his expression slightly depressed, "No need to wait, just accept it now."
Jiang Chu looked at him in surprise, but after Master Leng put the box in her hand, he turned around and went to the chair, his head always lowered.
Jiang Chu's heart moved——
Why did he seem to already know that the matter would be related to Guozi Bing and the Liu family even though the results hadn't come out yet?
Jiang Chu looked at him and silently put the Qiling Flower away.
After a while, the alchemist came over, holding something like a silver needle in his hand. He first tested the solid-color bowl, but the silver needle showed no change, and then tested the patterned bowl...
Jiang Chu stared at the silver needle, but was surprised to find that it had not changed.
Why is this!
Jiang Chu suddenly felt strange. If something else was added here, the silver needle would definitely change color.
But now that it has not changed color, does it mean that Liu is innocent?
