In the carriage, Qi Yunqian folded his arms and looked at Ning Yujin at leisure, waiting for her to speak.
Ning Yujin lowered her head, intertwined her fingers and kept turning her thumb, and her eyes moved up and down as if she was thinking about something.
No one spoke first, and the atmosphere was unusually quiet.
The journey to the inn where they stayed for the night went smoothly, but what Qi Yunqian didn't expect was that in the end, when he got off the carriage, he could not help but speak first: "I thought that with your character, you would get to the bottom of it.
"
Ning Yujin raised her chin, without looking at him, and said coldly: "What do you think? You think you know me better."
After saying that, he raised the corner of his lips and sneered, and without letting Qi Yunqian support him, he lifted up his skirt and got out of the carriage.
Qi Yunqian smiled and felt a little puzzled.
This little girl has changed her gender? How could she be so calm about the news about Mo Jingxiao and not ask him for so long?
As soon as he left the sight of Qi Yunqian, Ning Yujin pinched her thigh hard and said to herself: "Ya-Ya, I want you to be so tough. If I had asked earlier, I might have been able to find out something else."
But then I thought about it, with Qi Yunqian's cunning level, it's strange that he would tell the truth. Even if he did, he would say something beneficial to him, and how much of it is true is still unknown.
Forget it, instead of listening to his nonsense, it's better to escape quickly and go find out for yourself.
After paying attention in this way, she quickly suppressed the emotion on her face to prevent Qi Yunqian from seeing the slightest clue.
After settling in her accommodation, Ning Yujin took a leisurely bath, changed her clothes, and then came out to have dinner with Qi Yunqian.
The food was basically according to her taste, and she didn't choose, she picked up her chopsticks and ate it in big bites.
Qi Yunqian looked at her eating appearance and couldn't help but laugh and said: "To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand where you went after eating so much. You look so skinny and skinny."
When Ning Yujin heard this, she immediately raised her head in dissatisfaction, reached out and lifted her sleeves to reveal her arms: "Did you see it? Did you see it? These are all meat!"
After saying that, I felt something was wrong again, so I quickly put down my sleeves: "I almost forgot, you can't roll up your sleeves randomly, our arms can only be shown to our husband."
Qi Yunqian's smile suddenly became even brighter. He picked up his chopsticks and gave her a piece of food: "Look now, and you will look in the future. Anyway, it will be a matter of time."
Ning Yujin felt a little unhappy when she heard this. She raised her eyes and tilted her head to look at him: "I'm telling you, are you so sure that I will marry you?"
"It's not up to you." Qi Yunqian stopped smiling for a moment and gave Ning Yujin another piece of meat. "No one knows that you are in my hands now. I have enough time to make you change your mind."
"Why does it have to be me?" Ning Yujin squinted her eyes, somewhat confused, "In terms of beauty, which of your maids is not prettier than me? In terms of intelligence, I don't believe that such a big Dong Qi can't find a talented woman. In terms of medical skills, you
Li Yuanqiu next to me is definitely not any worse than me. Or do you just think that what you can't get is the best?"
Qi Yunqian stopped using his chopsticks and frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about this issue as well.
After a while, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
"Actually, I have asked myself this question countless times, why it must be you. I used to think it was because I was unwilling to give in and wanted to compete with Mo Jingxiao. But after returning to China, I thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out.
"
He raised his head, looked straight at Ning Yujin, and said word by word with incomparable clarity: "I, Qi Yunqian, have had everything going smoothly since the day I was born. Whatever I want, I will do whatever it takes to get it. Maybe so.
Because of this, this word is not allowed in my life. And you are the only exception I have made in more than 20 years, and you are destined to become a disaster that I cannot overcome no matter what. So this time,
No matter how much I pay, even if all I get is your body, I will take you back!"
Ning Yujin was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, and then she couldn't help but laugh out loud, lowering her head and looking at her fingernails: "After all, you just don't want to give in. If I were like the woman around you
If you are so attracted to you, then you won't even pay me a glance."
"Whatever you say." Qi Yunqian had no hope that Ning Yujin would understand him, and he didn't bother to explain anything. "Anyway, you are mine, and you can't run away anymore."
Ning Yujin looked at Qi Yunqian, pursed her lips and smiled silently.
The next morning.
Qi Yunqian rearranged two maids to serve Ning Yujin's grooming, and stumbled out of the house.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good!"
Qi Yunqian immediately put the tea on the table before he could taste it. He raised his eyes and glanced at them majestically: "What happened?"
The two maids quickly replied: "The young lady is feeling hot all over and sweating coldly for some reason. She is lying on the bed talking nonsense now!"
When Qi Yunqian heard this, he immediately became anxious. He quickly pushed aside the two maids and walked quickly into Ning Yujin's room.
At this moment, Ning Yujin's face looked abnormal, as if she had drunk strong alcohol, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she seemed to be muttering something.
Qi Yunqian quickly stretched out his hand to touch his forehead and quickly pulled back: "Is it so hot?"
As he said that, he turned to look at the guard standing at the door: "What are you still waiting for? Go find the doctor!"
hateful!
But at this moment, Li Yuanqiu was far away in Shengjing!
Fortunately, the place where I stayed was relatively prosperous, and there was a medical clinic not far away, and the doctor was quickly invited.
He took Ning Yujin's pulse and checked the symptoms, and then said to Qi Yunqian: "This young lady suffered from wind-heat that suddenly invaded her body, causing her body fever to persist. I prescribed two medicines, one boiled in three bowls of water."
Bowl, once in the morning and evening, just take it."
Qi Yunqian waved his sleeves: "Come here, follow the doctor to get some medicine!"
After sending the doctor away, Qi Yunqian looked at the two maids who were kneeling and shivering, and his aura suddenly became majestic: "Tell me, what happened to your lady last night?"
Those two maids, you look at me and I look at you. After thinking for a long time, they said timidly: "Last night at midnight, the lady said that it was too hot and she couldn't sleep. She asked us to fetch water for her to take a bath. We will fetch water for her."
After finishing the water, she asked us to go back and rest. Because the lady usually doesn't let the slaves take care of her when she takes a bath, so she didn't stay with her last night."
Qi Yunqian's eyes fell on the bathtub behind the screen in the room, with a cold look in his eyes.
"You two, please take matters into your own hands."
When the two maids heard this, their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide. Just as they were about to kowtow and cry for mercy, they were dragged out directly by the guards on the side.
Qi Yunqian walked to Ning Yujin's bedside and looked at Ning Yujin, who suddenly fell ill, with a complicated and deep expression in his eyes.
"You have shown an extremely cooperative attitude from the beginning, just to take advantage of me to let down my guard and suddenly attack, right? I want to see what tricks you can play!"
