Quietly returning to the Qin family's backyard, the heat on Gu Qingyuan's face had subsided.
Before leaving, Pei Jinting kissed her on the lips and whispered against her lips, "You are only allowed to take one of the pills Lin Feng gave you. Be good, we will meet in two days."
Lin Feng said that it will take three months for the medicinal properties to slowly fade away, and if there is no relief during this period, he will die from blood fever.
This is also the reason why those flower houses regard that medicine as a treasure.
Three months is enough for a person to adapt to something. No matter how determined a martyr is, three months day after day will make her lose her original persistence and turn into a slut.
Gu Qingyuan intercepted Pei Jinting's words and said,
"Remember to apply medicine to your injury."
When the man made a surprise attack just now, although he failed to succeed, the thin blade in his hand still grazed Pei Jinting's arm.
Pei Jinting didn't expect that she would find the injury, but she still smiled relaxedly.
"No obstruction, just a scratch."
Gu Qingyuan didn't believe it and reached out to lift his sleeves. Pei Jinting felt her fingers were cold and squeezed her hard, comforting her.
"It's really okay."
He clenched the cold fingers in his hand and smiled innocently,
"You don't believe it? Why don't I come in and let you check it out?"
He deliberately made the injury sound light. How could Gu Qingyuan not understand that she wanted to help him apply medicine and clean the wound herself?
But it was still dark, and she was afraid that the medicinal properties that were about to take effect would surge up again.
Gu Qingyuan smoothed the wrinkles on his collar and said,
"Let's go. I'll wait for you."
This sentence, seemingly innocuous, made Pei Jinting want to take her away without hesitation and hide her well without being discovered.
He buried his hair into Gu Qingyuan's temples and gently inhaled the fragrance of her hair.
"Okay. Take care of yourself."
After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "When did something strange happen?"
He remembered that when the Mid-Autumn Festival night came, she was already on the verge of collapse.
Pei Jinting knew her tolerable temper very well, and she must have tolerated it before that.
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips, not wanting to recall it, but this fact was strange. Although she was not that popular in the Qin family, she had not offended anyone severely.
But she wanted to administer such a vicious drug, not only to destroy her reputation, but also to destroy her body.
Such a cruel heart.
Who is it?
"The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Qin family had a reunion dinner..."
It is difficult to trace what was eaten and drank at the reunion banquet. Among the people I met, apart from the Qin family, there were also a few married women.
She doubted Qin Rongjun's food box, then shook her head.
not him.
Pei Jinting lowered his eyes and saw Gu Qingyuan's face thinking, and slowed down, "Leave this matter to me to investigate. You should pay more attention to your diet these two days."
As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box and handed it to Gu Qingyuan.
"What is this?" Gu Qingyuan took it with some confusion.
Pei Jinting's eyes wandered for a moment, she clenched her hands into fists and coughed lightly against her lips, "It was given by Lin Feng."
"If you... allow you to use it for these two days." Pei Jinting leaned over slightly and whispered softly into her ear.
He looked mysterious and a bit resentful.
She couldn't help but open the box, and the contents inside came into view. Her face turned red instantly, as if she had seen a ghost, and she closed the box with a "pop" sound.
He stuffed it back into Pei Jinting's arms like a hot potato.
"Pei Jinting..." She yelled angrily, what a dirty bitch.
It won't work even if you beat her to death.
In my mind, I unconsciously thought of the bell that had rolled down to an unknown place.
She pushed Pei Jinting hard and said, "Let's go, let's go quickly."
It seemed that he was indeed angry. Pei Jinting did not dare to make trouble with her anymore and smiled silently.
Gu Qingyuan leaned behind the door panel and listened to what was going on outside. After a while, the door quietly opened a crack and Pei Jinting had left.
But she looked down slightly, and suddenly there was the box just now on the ground.
A scumbag, a scumbag...
The door of the wing next door opened, Shuang Wu rubbed his sleepy eyes and called, "Girl..."
Gu Qingyuan quickly picked up the box as if she was a thief, put it in her arms, quickly closed the door, and leaned against it without moving.
Shuang Wu seemed to hear some movement outside the door while he was sleeping. He was afraid that something might happen to Gu Qingyuan, so he got up to take a look.
Just now she clearly saw that the door to the main room seemed to be open a crack, and after she made a sound, it was closed again quietly.
She rubbed her eyes, walked to the door of the main room, and listened quietly, but there was no sound.
I yawned and went back to the wing. It seemed that I had misunderstood.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the box in her hand with a blushing face, not knowing what to do.
Next time I see Pei Jinting, I must kick him hard to relieve his anger.
She stuffed the box into the cage and returned to the couch. As she tossed and turned, she thought that her cage had always been under the control of Frost. If she saw that box...
He got up again, put the box on the inside of the couch, and covered it with a big pillow.
A bizarre night passed.
When Gu Qingyuan got up the next day, she felt a little sleepy, but she had to get up and go to the room to pay her respects to Mrs. Qin.
Before leaving, she arranged the big pillow again and left after making sure that nothing strange could be seen.
When they arrived at the bedroom, several granddaughters of the Qin family were chatting and laughing around Old Mrs. Qin.
Qin Lu's smile fell after seeing Gu Qingyuan.
She covered her lips with a veil,
"Sister Ayuan, your face is a little pale. Could it be that you are sick?"
The sudden concern made Gu Qingyuan feel that Qin Lu was a little too good to her.
But it’s hard to say anything in front of everyone.
Mrs. Qin patted Qin Lu's hand,
"Sure enough, the girl who wants to kiss you knows how to be considerate. If you know this, I should have said kiss to you a long time ago."
Qin Lu smiled and said coquettishly, "Grandma... granddaughter knows, can you not mention your past ignorance..."
She held Old Mrs. Qin's arm with a coquettish look on her face.
Gu Qingyuan was used to seeing Gu Yunniang acting like a coquettish fool in front of Ruan family. Looking at Qin Lu again, she felt that she was not even half as skilled as Gu Yunniang.
Qin Lu has been listening to the activities in Gu Qingyuan's yard these past few days, with people coming in and out.
Except for the one time her brother came to her courtyard that day, no man came in or out.
Even the guards brought by Gu Qingyuan have been staying peacefully in the front yard these days without taking a step back.
She wondered if the medicine was not ready, but the maid who served the wine said that she watched Gu Qingyuan take it.
She got this medicine secretly from the study room in the front yard.
When her mother accidentally saw her, she beat her severely and threw her away.
She threw the thing away in front of her mother, and then secretly had someone pick it up again.
Obviously the doctors outside have said that this medicine is so overbearing that those who take it will turn into sluts, even if they are fierce women.
Why does Gu Qingyuan seem to have nothing to do?
Qin Lu thought for a while and just wanted the old lady to ask a doctor to check her pulse. By then everyone would know that Gu Qingyuan had taken the medicine...
Before she could say anything, Mr. Qin sent someone to deliver a message.
"Old lady, Prince Jing is on a tour on behalf of the Emperor and passing by Rencheng. He needs to stay at our house."
Gu Qingyuan's palms curled up slightly, Prince Jing never took any errands, he was only responsible for the debauchery, how could he go on patrols on behalf of the emperor?
