He said he was joking, but as soon as he reached out and handed the tea over, Azi and Zhong Ling turned their faces away in tacit understanding, not intending to accept it at all.
When Chen Xuan saw it, he pretended not to understand.
"What's wrong with you? Is it possible that I can still harm you?"
"Hmph~"
Ah Zi snorted angrily, glanced at him and said.
"You think I don't know you have that kind of powdered medicine in your hand? I'm also an expert in using poison, so don't underestimate me."
"Medicine powder?"
Chen Xuan pretended to look at the two girls in confusion, but Ah Zi and Zhong Ling were particularly clever. Even the lightning ferret on Zhong Ling's shoulder bared its teeth at him.
One look at this posture, it is clear that there is no benefit to be gained.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and drank the two cups of tea in one gulp, pretending to be a gentleman.
"What's wrong with drinking? You two girls look down on me too much."
"..."
Azi and Zhong Ling didn't say anything either.
Chen Xuan asked for trouble and had no choice but to smile and walk out the door. However, as soon as he walked out, most of his face turned red.
"Damn it, these two girls are quite vigilant. They actually guessed that I would drug me. But they can also poison me. If I do it directly, there is no guarantee that they will not kill each other. This matter is really in trouble."
When he thought about it, he didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly returned to the guest room next door.
He checked the doors and windows around to make sure there was no sign of anyone else entering, then he opened the big red brocade quilt and took out Qin Hongmian who was tied with hemp rope.
"Nvxia Qin, I have to trouble you again."
"..." Qin Hongmian's pretty face was filled with frost and she didn't say a word.
Chen Xuan knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he just treated her as a pastime and dealt with her firmly.
Although Qin Hongmian said he was as cold as ice, Chen Xuan had many tricks after all, and he and Qin Hongmian lived next door to Zhong Ling and Azi.
After all the fuss all afternoon, Chen Xuangang planned to lie down for a while.
There was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door outside the house.
Chen Xuan was shocked. He didn't tell Yun Zhonghe and the others where he was staying. He immediately put on his green robe, walked to the door with an iron staff, and ventriloquised.
"Who?"
"I'm your aunt!"
"Azi?"
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened a gap in the door, and took a look.
There was only Ah Zi outside the door, but this girl's face was red and looked like an apple.
Chen Xuan was startled just now, and he was not in the mood to joke at the moment, so he just said:
"What's wrong?"
Ah Zi opened her little mouth and was about to curse, but then she thought about it and curled her lips again.
"Didn't you say that my parents are here in Gusu? Why didn't you take me to find them when we got there?"
"Didn't you just arrive today? You go back and have a rest for the night. I'm done here. I'll take you there tomorrow morning."
"Bah! What else can you, a silver thief, be busy with? It's so disgusting!"
"You girl are quite interesting. It doesn't bother you when I do my business, but you insist on knocking on the door and scolding me. What's the point of this?"
It was okay if Chen Xuan didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Ah Zi suddenly became furious.
This inn was no better than a mansion, but Chen Xuan made Qin Hongmian so angry that she and Zhong Ling couldn't even talk.
Even though she was usually weird and weird, and she didn't know the seriousness of hurting people, but now when something like this happened, she could only wait for Chen Xuan to calm down before coming over and scolding her with a red face.
Chen Xuan saw her rosy face and slightly open mouth, which looked very cute. He said that he was startled just now and his face turned cold for a moment.
Now that he has come back to his senses, he has returned to his usual playboy self and joked.
"Good girl, are you greedy? Come in and I'll show you something fun."
Azi was naturally unwilling and said angrily.
"Bah! Just try to lie to me."
With that said, she was going to take out the poisonous needle to scare him.
Chen Xuan was startled by the knock on the door just now, and after taking care of Qin Hongmian all afternoon, he was quite satisfied.
Now that he calmed down, he thought about it for a moment and then spoke.
"Since you girl is so anxious, I will take you to find your parents."
"What? Now?" Ah Zi was startled and couldn't help but be stunned.
She was just impatient because of the commotion, so she calmed down and came to find Chen Xuan.
In fact, deep down she has expectations, fears and worries about her parents, whom she has not seen for more than ten years.
She was not prepared for all kinds of emotions in her heart.
However, Chen Xuan pretended to be doting and touched her head, saying affectionately.
"Azi, we are the perfect match according to the fate of our parents and the matchmaker. I brought you back all the way just to be reunited with your family now."
"..."
After he said this, this usually smart girl seemed to be frightened and didn't even make a fuss with him.
Chen Xuan saw this and felt it was funny.
……………………
Gusu Mantuo Villa has been famous in the world for a long time, so it is naturally not difficult to find.
In Mantuo Villa, famous heroes emerge in large numbers, and together with the Tang family in Sichuan, the Murong family in Gusu, and the Duan family in Dali, they are known as the four major martial arts families.
The former owner of Mantuo Villa was named Wang Jinhua.
When he was young, Wang Jinhua was just a scholar who followed his father's orders and pursued fame.
I don't want him to fail in the imperial examinations and fail repeatedly.
After the proud and talented Wang Jinhua returned home, he gave up the idea of seeking fame.
He picked up the Wang family's Jingshen sword technique that had been abandoned for a long time.
In the end, he gained a reputation as "Jiangnan Young Hero" by relying on this amazing swordsmanship.
In addition, Li Qiushui later brought the martial arts classics and gold and silver treasures from Langhuan Paradise to Mantuo Villa and married his daughter Li Qingluo to Wang Jinhua.
This powerful combination made Mantuo Villa famous for a time.
Even though only Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan, an orphan and a widower, are left now, they are still considered to be first-rate wealthy families in the land of Suzhou.
It's not long after nightfall.
Several people walked in front of the red lacquer gate of Mantuo Villa.
The leader was a mysterious figure in blue robes holding a woman in his arms.
On either side of him followed a young and pretty girl.
The servant guarding the door was quite discerning. Seeing that the mysterious man in green robe was very impressive, he thought he was from the Jianghu, so he stepped forward and asked.
"May I ask your Excellency?"
"Go back to Mrs. Wang of Guizhuang and say that an old man named Duan came to visit."
"Your last name is Duan?!"
The servant seemed startled by the name.
You must know that Mrs. Wang of Mantuo Villa has long established a rule that anyone named Duan who enters the village will be killed and buried under the camellias to make flower fertilizer.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, someone named Duan would take the initiative to visit me.
The servant hesitated for a moment, and wanted to persuade him, but on second thought he was afraid of being punished, so he could only respond with a guilty conscience.
"In that case, please wait a moment, distinguished guest, and I will go and make a report."
