Jin Shu hugged the quilt and huddled in the corner of the bed. Seeing Ming Zhiyuan, she did not go to bed. Just like she was listening to the piano last night, she sat cross-legged on the floor and said nothing.
After a while, she felt a warm breath rising in her belly. This warm breath couldn't help but extend to all her limbs. She only felt uncomfortable anywhere on her body. It was the finger joints caused by practicing piano since she was a child.
The pain always disappears.
After a while, an uncontrollable sleepiness came over her, and she couldn't control herself anymore. She fell down and fell asleep.
During this sleep, I slept until it was almost time to turn on the lamp, and then I woke up leisurely. I saw the maid serving me standing in front of the bed, looking at me in surprise. I quickly looked around, and the strange guest was nowhere to be found. I
I took half of an unknown pill, and I still don’t feel anything wrong with my body, let alone the persistent abdominal pain and signs of poisoning.
After thinking about it, the half pill was really not poison. She slowly stood up and said, "Qin'er, when is it? Why are you standing there so stupidly?"
The maid took down the candle from the nearby candlestick, shone it on her face, and said, "Young lady has slept well, her complexion is much better, and even her skin tone is much whiter and more delicate."
Jin Shu was stunned when she heard this, and touched her cheek with one hand. It felt smoother than before, but she said, "What are you talking about? Hurry and prepare water, I want to wash up."
The maid took a bronze mirror from the table and said, "Miss, if you don't believe it, see for yourself."
Jin Shu took the bronze mirror, glanced at the maid, and looked at her face in the mirror. It was indeed much fairer and moister than before. She pinched her face and remembered the usefulness of the elixir that the weirdo said.
She immediately squeezed it hard with both hands, and could no longer feel the familiar soreness between her knuckles. She immediately looked around on the bed until she threw the quilt and pillows to the ground, and then she found the half of the pill.
Holding the elixir tightly in his hand, he asked the maid to bring a piece of drawing paper, wrap half of the elixir tightly, put the quilt and pillow back on the bed, and put the elixir under the pillow.
The maid looked at her strangely, "Miss, what is this?"
Jin Shu knocked on her head and said, "If you don't know, don't ask."
The maid pursed her lips and said, "If you don't ask, don't ask. My lady is naturally beautiful. Such a beautiful person must be so domineering and unreasonable."
With that said, he took a basin and went downstairs to fetch water.
Jin Shu hugged her knees and sat on the bed, recalling the strange man's behavior. She couldn't guess what kind of person he was, and she didn't know if he was the person the Crime Investigation Department wanted to arrest.
If it was really him, what kind of bad things had he done? What made the people from the Crime Investigation Department search the whole city like they were facing a formidable enemy?
That half pill is so effective that it can make one's old injuries heal. Such a person, who has such a magical elixir, must be a child of some aristocratic family, right?
When I was raising my head to fantasize, I saw a dark figure on the beam, and I almost screamed. Then I saw that the weird man had not left, but was just hiding on the beam.
Jin Shu looked around a few times with a guilty conscience, then raised her head and said, "Sir, what are you doing up there? Have you...have you eaten yet?"
Ming Zhiyuan jumped down and said: "I haven't eaten yet, but your maid has come up, so I will hide for a while."
Jin Shu's eyes lit up when she saw him jumping down from such a high beam with a slight leap, "It turns out that the young master is a warrior. He can jump so high. The young master is really superb in martial arts."
Ming Zhiyuan chuckled. He had never seen anyone who truly practiced martial arts, so he might think that climbing high and dangerous places meant he was superior in martial arts.
At this time, the sound of footsteps going up the stairs sounded again, and Ming Zhiyuan jumped back onto the beam.
There was a twinkle in Jin Shu's eyes. Such a master of martial arts, even if he was not a child of a martial arts family, he was probably an expert in the world.
The maid came up with a basin of water, put it on the washstand, and said, "Miss, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen and bring it to you."
Jin Shu blinked her eyes and said, "I don't know why I'm very hungry today. If I don't give up on anything, please bring more."
"Oh, Miss hasn't eaten all day. Of course she's hungry. I'll get it right away. Miss can eat it after washing up."
The maid ran downstairs again.
Jin Shu looked up at Ming Zhiyuan on the beam, blinked her eyes mischievously, and said softly: "There will be food soon."
Ming Zhiyuan didn't come down, so he sat on the beam and nodded to her.
Jin Shu hurriedly washed her face and mouth, and dressed up in front of the dressing table. The maid had already walked up carrying a food box.
Place the meals in the food box on the desk one by one, "Hey, what is this? Did you write it, Miss?"
The maid held a piece of paper in her hand and was looking at it.
Jin Shu hurriedly grabbed it and took a look. The instructions for taking the elixir were written on it. She crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into the drawer. She said, "I wrote it casually, and you are illiterate. What are you reading?"
Don't be nagging, why didn't you bring me some soup? I've been a little angry these days, so go and bring me a bowl of lotus seed soup."
The maid jumped up and said, "There is no lotus seed soup anywhere today, only the fish maw soup cooked in the kitchen."
"I want to drink lotus seed soup. You go to the kitchen and let them make it. By the way, you are in the kitchen and keep an eye on them to prevent them from being unhappy and adding unclean things to the soup."
The maid nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, the lady wants to drink lotus seed soup, I will let them make it and watch them do it."
Jin Shu took out a plain silver hairpin from the dressing box, put it on the maid's head, and said, "Qin'er is so beautiful, so it should be paired with this silver hairpin."
The maid got the silver hairpin and immediately became happy. She thanked Jin Shu and went downstairs to supervise the kitchen to make soup.
Seeing the maid go down, Ming Zhiyuan jumped down and walked to the table. Jin Shu had already arranged a soft stool neatly. After Ming Zhiyuan sat down, she diligently served him dishes.
Ming Zhiyuan wolfed down the food, and Jin Shu handed him tea from time to time, "Young master, please eat slowly, there will be soup later."
Ming Zhiyuan had also been hungry all day, and he ate all the food on the table in less than a while, saying: "You have to ask your maid to make another trip."
Jin Shu covered her mouth, laughed a few times, and then said: "I will go and get it for you now. Qin'er is still in the kitchen watching the people in the kitchen making soup. She won't be able to come back for a while."
Ming Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at her meaningfully. Jin Shu's face was shocked and said: "Young master, don't worry, the slave family is definitely not trying to escape or inform. The slave family really wants to serve the master with food."
Come."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, go ahead and get more. You haven't eaten yet."
Jin Shu gathered up the food box, knelt down and saluted, and then walked downstairs.
Ming Zhiyuan stood in front of the window, watching her leave the embroidery building and walk towards a low house in the southwest corner.
He didn't move, just to see if the woman would call someone to arrest him.
After a while, I saw her carrying a food box and walking out of the house in the corner. Her steps were slow and she didn't feel panic at all because there was an unknown bad guy in the building.
When Jin Shu brought up the food box and put the food on the table, Ming Zhiyuan placed another soft stool in front of her and said, "Let's eat together."
Jin Shu's eyes lit up and she sat down happily, serving Ming Zhiyuan while she ate slowly.
"Sir, are you the young master of a martial arts family?"
"Um?"
"I see that you have great martial arts skills and extraordinary bearing. You must be a young master from a martial arts family in the big city."
"oh?"
Ming Zhiyuan neither denies nor admits it.
Seeing him like this, Jin Shu believed her guess more and more, "Did the master of your family force you to get married, and you caused a big disaster and ran away to resist?"
Ming Zhiyuan gave this fantasy-minded woman a strange look, "Don't read the book, it's all lies."
Jin Shu lowered her head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
The two finished the meal in silence. Jin Shu packed up the food box and was waiting for the maid to bring back the prepared soup.
There was another panicked shouting sound in the courtyard downstairs, and heavy and neat footsteps stepped into the courtyard.
Ming Zhiyuan stood up suddenly and glanced at the window, then looked back at Jin Shu with sharp eyes.
Jin Shu looked at him with a look of panic on her face and waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't, I didn't say it, I didn't tell anyone."
Just listen to the voice of the officer from the daytime, "The Anti-Crime Department is searching for fugitives. No one is allowed to move around, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
