Not far after Guan Jiyu left the gate of Xiang Lincheng Mansion, she saw Xia Mingzhong approaching on horseback. She originally thought that she just met by chance, but when Xia Mingzhong saw her, he immediately pulled the reins and stopped.
Xia Mingzhong got off the horse directly, looked at Guan Jiyu, and said, "I was just looking for you."
Guan Jiyu was puzzled and said: "What's the matter? I was just thinking of going to Wang again to try my luck to see if the guests inside had left." She joked: "I'm always dizzy today.
It’s true that the medicine from the prince’s palace won’t work. No matter what happens today, even if I “force” the prince with a knife, I have to get the prescription.”
Xia Mingzhong said seriously: "You don't need to force him with a knife, as long as you speak, he will definitely give it to you."
Guan Jiyu was so amused by his serious expression that he could only say in embarrassment: "I'm kidding, I'm kidding, haha."
Guan Jiyu is not a joking person, and Xia Mingzhong is serious and cautious. At this moment, because she was so dry, she said "haha" twice, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
After she finished laughing, she immediately closed her mouth, but Xia Mingzhong looked like he didn't care and said, "Not only that prescription, but also the problems left on your body, the nourishing things you need to eat and drink, you can ask the palace for them."
We will provide you with a solution."
He added lightly: "He owes you this. He should have given you those things."
Guan Jiyu naturally knows who "he" Xia Mingzhong is talking about, but Prince Ying is Xia Mingzhong's master. For so long, Guan Jiyu has always felt that Xia Mingzhong is a cold swordsman who has no emotions and only listens to Prince Ying's orders. He
This heart probably only thinks about Prince Ying, but I don't expect to hear such words from his mouth today.
Guan Jiyu's mind was in chaos and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
She no longer wanted to mention the old story of who owed whom. The most important thing now was to get the prescription. She also wanted to hang on to her life and then find a way to take revenge.
"It's all over, forget it." Guan Jiyu said he didn't care and said, "I just want to get the prescription. From now on, I don't have to come to the palace to bother you anymore."
There was something she couldn't understand in Xia Mingzhong's eyes. He was holding a nullah knife in one hand, and suddenly grabbed Guan Jiyu's arm with the other hand, saying, "Do you think this matter is over?"
Guan Jiyu stared at the hand he was holding on to her, half surprised and half confused and said, "Ah?"
"Follow me, and we'll ask again!" Xia Mingzhong pulled her forward without any explanation.
Guan Jiyu didn't know what he wanted to do, so he quickly said: "Who else are you asking? How else to ask? It's been so long, if I could have asked, I would have asked already!"
Xia Mingzhong seemed to be determined, his eyes were frighteningly persistent, and he said: "Have you forgotten how desperate you were back then? The scars have healed and you have forgotten the pain? Even if you don't have parents or a prominent family background, even if
You are just an ordinary person, no one in this world cares about you, but you should also cherish yourself, you know?"
After hearing this, Guan Jiyu was secretly surprised: Where is this?
However, because Xia Mingzhong's momentum was really intimidating, she could only nod her head and said, "I understand, and I will cherish myself."
After saying this, Guan Jiyu felt that he was very weak. Not only was he physically weak, but he also lost his confidence in speaking.
"Then follow me." He dragged Guan Jiyu, but still slowed down slightly, and said, "Go find Jin Chan."
When they arrived at Xiang Lincheng's mansion, they met Xiang Lincheng who was about to go out. Perhaps he saw Guan Jiyu coming back. Xiang Lincheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Are you back?"
Without waiting for Guan Jiyu to answer, Xia Mingzhong clasped his fists and said, "Second Master Xiang, I want to ask Miss Jin Chan about some medicinal materials. Is it convenient?"
Xiang Lincheng said "hmm" and said, "She's at home."
This sentence "she is at home" suddenly made Guan Jiyu sigh with emotion. Although the two were about to get married, if you really think about it, Jin Chan had not yet married.
Xiang Lincheng is really impatient, this is called "a family".
Although Guan Jiyu was thinking a lot in her heart, her face was calm. She ignored Xiang Lincheng and just stood quietly beside Xia Mingzhong.
Xiang Lincheng went out in a hurry, put on a coat and left. After a while, Jin Chan walked out slowly and saw Guan Jiyu and Xia Mingzhong standing together. She raised her brows in surprise and said, "Mr. Xia,
I haven’t seen you for a while, why did you come here this time?”
Xia Mingzhong said: "Excuse me, Miss Jin Chan." There was a trace of consideration in his eyes, and he said: "I feel ashamed to say it, but I still did it for that matter."
Jin Chan understood it immediately. She seemed surprised for a moment and said, "It's been so long and you still haven't found it?"
"If you find it, I won't bother you anymore, Miss Jin Chan." Xia Mingzhong calmly looked directly into Jin Chan's eyes and said, "If you can't find something, let alone me, the prince will eventually let go."
I can't help but worry about this matter all the time. There was no one else in the house at the time, so I could only investigate on a few possible people. I hope you can understand."
Jin Chan remained calm, she even looked at Guan Jiyu beside her, and then said: "I understand. Just looking at Miss Guan's appearance now, I know that the matter is serious. I have seen Miss Guan in high spirits before.
He looks so heroic and heroic, which really makes me admire him. Now that he is so weak, it makes people feel uncomfortable looking at him."
"As long as you understand." Xia Mingzhong said: "It's been a long time since I saw you, so please recall it carefully and tell me again what you saw at that time."
Jin Chan nodded and readily agreed. She said in a soft voice, "Although more than a year has passed, I will never forget what happened on that day."
She thought for a while and said: "It was already very late that day. Since my room was not in the backyard of the palace, it was too stuffy in the room that day. I thought it was cool outside, so I simply walked to the backyard and just wanted to blow some air.
Just blowing the wind." Jin Chan looked at Guan Jiyu again and said, "When I got to the backyard, I saw Miss Guan sitting on the stone steps alone, she was lying on her knees. I walked over and wanted to talk to her, but Guan
The girl was not very interested, so she just said a few words and stopped paying attention to me."
Guan Jiyu had an impression of what happened that night, so he explained: "It's not that I ignored you. At that time, I was dizzy all day long because of my cultivation. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep."
Jin Chan smiled lightly and said: "I don't take it to heart. Most people who practice martial arts are informal."
Xia Mingzhong still stared at her every movement and expression, and slowly said: "When you were next to Miss Guan, did you see the book that she almost never left her hand?"
"No." Jin Chan maintained a slight smile and said, "I still gave the same answer, I didn't see it."
She was very sure. After hearing this, Guan Jiyu looked at Xia Mingzhong and said, "Brother Xia?"
Xia Mingzhong was thoughtful. He paused for a moment before giving up the question, but then asked about another thing: "Miss Jin Chan, I passed by Liujia Village not long ago on business and saw that the Liu family held a sacrificial feast.
, I just remembered that Young Master Liu has passed away for a year." He seemed to be pointing out something: "It's normal that I didn't see you on the anniversary of my late husband's death, but I just turned around and heard the news from the prince that you were getting married.
I’m a little curious. Miss Jin Chan, are you so quick...?"
Jin Chan's face quickly turned pale, and she said unwillingly: "Liu Jian is no longer here, but my life will continue. Can't I choose a good husband to live a good life?"
"Of course it's okay." Xia Mingzhong crossed his arms and said calmly, "I don't mean anything else."
Jin Chan's temperament has always been gentle and gentle, but mentioning this matter now felt like stepping on her tail. Her face turned pale for a while and then turned red because she was really unwilling.
She looked at Xia Mingzhong with grievance and shouted angrily: "Master Xia, I am just an ordinary citizen. You are the person next to the prince. We are not in conflict with each other, so why are you always holding on to me?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Oh?" Xia Mingzhong tilted his head and asked, "What do you mean by this? I'm just curious and wanted to ask. Why are you so excited?"
Xia Mingzhong shrugged and said: "On the day Mr. Liu was buried, I saw you crying so much
I'm sad, and my eyes are red and swollen. I'm just thinking that it's only been a year since Mr. Liu passed away, and I'm just surprised that you fell in love with Mr. Xiang and then decided to get married so quickly. What I'm curious about is your marriage.
,Do the people in the Liu family know? Hasn’t Liu Jian’s mother come to see you?”
As soon as Xia Mingzhong said these words, Guan Jiyu immediately looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief. Although he has always been low-key and taciturn, he speaks in a measured way. I don't know what happened to him today when he talked to Jin Chan.
Every sentence is full of thorns, and every sentence seems to be deliberately sarcastic to Jin Chan.
Guan Jiyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pulled Xia Mingzhong's sleeve, and tried to stop him: "Brother Xia..."
At this moment, Jin Chan couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore. She shouted in a high voice: "You, you are too much of a bully!" When Guan Jiyu looked at Jin Chan again, tears were already filling her eyes.
Gone.
Jin Chan was still aggrieved, and even more angry after being humiliated, and said: "What does my marriage have to do with them?! Liu Jian is dead! Even if he is not dead, I am not a member of the Liu family anymore. I
I thought only the Liu family couldn't figure it out and just kept pestering me, but that's it!" Her tears rolled down one by one and she said tremblingly: "Mr. Xia, are you going to say that to me too?"
The tears slowly dripped down Jin Chan's chin, and anyone who saw them would feel pity for them.
But there was nothing on the face of Xia Ming's clock, and he said: "It seems that Liu Jian saw you walking out of Mr. Xiang's house before he died." He put down his arms and said casually: "I forgot, I don't remember much.
It’s clear.”
Xia Mingzhong's neither salty nor cool words simply made Jin Chan feel ashamed.
Jin Chan's face was like a burning cloud that spread to her ears. Her eyes were shocked. She stared blankly at Xia Mingzhong, tears no longer flowing out.
Xia Mingzhong cleared his throat and continued aggressively: "Think about it again, Miss Jin Chan, have you ever seen Miss Guan's lost book?"
Crazy, he must be crazy!
Guan Jiyu's heart could not be described as shocked at this moment. This was the first time she had seen this method of interrogating people. She had already finished asking questions, but Xia Mingzhong still wanted to ask more questions that were not specific enough to anger Jin Chan, and then
The matter of lost books came up again.
Not to mention Jin Chan, Guan Jiyu felt like he was about to collapse after hearing this!
As expected, Jin Chan became even more angry. She shouted almost hoarsely: "I haven't seen it! I've told you countless times that I haven't seen it!"
The veins on her neck popped out, and the emotion she felt just now only increased. She was almost roaring: "What does it have to do with the Liu family if I get married? What does it have to do with me if the final chapter in the girl's book is lost? What does it have to do with you?
