Chapter 36: Why are you so afraid that I will disturb your good business?
"Actually, Miss is retribution. She was someone who walked out of our house, but turned into a phoenix and turned against her. At first, we all misjudged her and thought she was such a kind and righteous person. People called her a bitch.
There is nothing wrong with being ruthless.”
"Shh, what are you talking about? It's okay for you to say this in front of me. If a talkative person reaches the young master's ears, your life will be gone."
"Isn't it because I am speaking to you, my sister, that I dare to speak so frankly? No one else can pry my sister's mouth open."
"That's good. Oops, I forgot that the young master told me to buy pear blossom paste today, so I won't tell you more."
"It's pear blossom paste again. I used to eat pear blossom paste when the lady was here. Now that the lady is gone, the young master still buys pear blossom paste from time to time, but doesn't eat it. It's been five years."
"Hey, that's right. As servants, we can only obey orders. We only pity this infatuated young master."
The two maids seemed to feel deep sympathy for their young master and shook their heads melancholy, saying they should go and do whatever they had to do.
During my walk, I never thought that I could get such important news. If Situ Quan knew about it, would he regret his decision to let me go out for the walk?
According to this conversation, Pan Ai and Situ Quan must have had an adulterous affair. Then Situ Quan met me by chance and took me to enjoy the flowers. Were these things premeditated?
I returned to the west wing full of worries, and Situ Quan was the only one left in the room drinking tea.
"Where is Yeluzihan?" I asked.
"Seeing that you had no intention of going back, he asked me to keep you for a few more days, and then he left."
"oh."
He walked so fast because he was definitely afraid that I would disturb him and Jiang Wuhua's good deeds, you idiot, huh.
"This is the pear blossom paste I just bought for you. You can try it." Situ Quan still acted carelessly and handed the pear blossom paste to me, clearly seizing on my weakness of being a foodie. If the two maids hadn't heard
dialogue, this may be just a simple action.
I took the pear blossom paste and took a bite. The fragrance of pear blossoms was not very strong. It was just like an ordinary sweet paste. There was nothing outstanding about it. Perhaps it was the story behind this pear blossom paste that made Pan love it.
Like it, Situ Quan's smile will become bitter when he recalls it.
"She likes to eat?"
I finally couldn't hold it back and blurted out.
Situ Quan was stunned and said: "When I was in trouble, I got cold and coughed. It was not a big deal at that time. I just need to nurse myself back to health. But she was stubborn and refused to take medicine.
Only this pear blossom paste could make her consciously eat it, and her cough gradually improved, until she became obsessed with this pear blossom paste." Situ Quan paused and asked, "When did you know about it?"
"just."
"Why don't you just leave?"
Situ Quan smiled bitterly.
"I want to find out whether the meeting in the palace was an accidental encounter, and I also want to know whether you were the one who shot that cold arrow."
I want to know the truth of everything. After all, I treat Situ Quan as a friend. Even though we have only known each other for a few days, I still think he is a worthy friend. Is it like what the master said? I am too ignorant to understand that some feelings cannot be wrongly paid.
.
Situ Quan took a sip of tea and said: "As you may have thought, the encounter in the palace was deliberately arranged by me. After you took away the Night Pearl, I received instructions from Pan Ai. I originally wanted to start a killing spree to get the Night Pearl, but I didn't expect it.
