C189 A Sad Criminal
After Jiegeng and Anzhao separated, they immediately went to Hsing Zheng's courtyard.
"Something big has happened in Zhen'an King's Mansion. Why did you come back to find me today?" Jiegeng's arrival surprised Hsing Zheng.
Jiegeng smiled and said, "I have already severed my ties with him. What happened to his mansion? What does it have to do with me? After all, they had once had a relationship. With such momentum, shouldn't I take a detour? Otherwise, it'll be bad if we have anything to do with him. "
"Really?" Hsing Zheng showed a face of disbelief.
Jiegeng spent a lot of effort to restrain the expression on her face and responded to Hsing Zheng with a helpless smile.
Hsing Zheng shrugged his shoulders. " Then why did you come looking for me so eagerly? The look in his eyes had changed! "
" Of course there's something good for you! " Jiegeng raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, what good things?"
"Didn't you want to ask my big brother for an order for medicinal herbs?" Jiegeng went straight to the point.
"Yes, didn't you suppress it?" Hsing Zheng was angry when she mentioned this. It was indeed difficult to raise a woman and a villain. Didn't she snatch some wild ginseng from her on that lousy mountain? As for the grudge that he held until now, it could even be used to take revenge on business matters.
"That medicinal ingredient list, I'll get Big Brother to approve it!" Jiegeng took out the list and waved it in front of Hsing Zheng.
Hsing Zheng was about to reach out to take it when Jiegeng immediately withdrew her hand and put away the list.
"I have conditions!"
Hsing Zheng waved his hand. "I only know how to freeload lunch! Tell me, what conditions are there?"
"The medicinal ingredients must leave the city tomorrow, so you must get a permit from the Imperial Court today!" Jiegeng said word by word, afraid that he did not hear her clearly.
"Tomorrow?" Hsing Zheng frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"This is my problem. You don't have to ask." Jiegeng's face was cold.
"So anxious. Could it be that you are selling me some inferior medicinal herbs? Pretending to be inferior!" Hsing Zheng teased.
"What are you saying!" Jiegeng flew into a rage, "Do I need to ruin the reputation of our Bai family like this?"
Hsing Zheng scratched his nose in disbelief.
"What do you think? Do you agree?" Jiegeng did not have the time to talk nonsense with him. "If you don't agree, this business deal will be dropped!"
As she spoke, Jiegeng raised the business list and wanted to tear it apart.
"Don't!" Hsing Zheng hurriedly stopped, "Using this price to buy such a large amount of top grade medicinal herbs, other than looking for your Bai family... Go and look for it!" The medicines on this order were all provided to the Sovereign Family of Qi Country. The quantity is huge. The trip to Great Yan this time to facilitate the business of this order was also one of his tasks. Hsing Zheng naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity so easily.
"Then hurry up and give me a definite answer. I don't have that much time and effort to spend on this list. Our Bai family doesn't care about this small amount of herbs."
Hsing Zheng suddenly smiled playfully.
"Are you in a hurry to send someone out of the city?"
Jiegeng was stunned on the spot and stared at Hsing Zheng in disbelief.
"It seems that I have guessed correctly about your reaction!" Hsing Zheng clapped his hands happily.
Jiegeng was still a little immature in front of Hsing Zheng. She easily exposed herself.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do I need to send out?" Jiegeng turned her face away, but her limbs had clearly become much stiffer.
"After the matter of Zhen'an King's rebellion came out, the whole city was under martial law. Currently, the people outside were hunting down one of Duan Shuang's trusted aides, because of this relationship. Yes. In this situation outside, you suddenly rushed to escort a large batch of medicine out of the city. Could it be that there is no deception in this?"
Since Hsing Zheng had seen through her completely, Jiegeng did not continue to pretend.
" That's right, I am helping people out of the city. If you have the ability, go and report me! Perhaps, you can take advantage of this matter to improve the relationship between the two countries! " Jiegeng angrily stuffed the list into her bosom.
Hearing Jiegeng's words, the administration's eyes immediately dimmed.
"I didn't expect that in your heart, you would look at me this way!"
Jiegeng looked at Hsing Zheng and did not say a word.
After a long time, Jiegeng spoke again. "What else? Could it be that you will help me?"
Hsing Zheng sighed. He only reached out his hand towards Jiegeng and opened his palm.
"What do you mean?" Jiegeng looked at Hsing Zheng suspiciously. She could not figure out what he was doing.
"If I don't take the order, how am I going to open the pass?" Hsing Zheng's voice was much lower.
"You, are you willing to help me?"
"What else?" Hsing Zheng suddenly started to curse, "Do you think I stretched out my hand just to show off?"
Jiegeng immediately took out the list in her arms and pressed it heavily on Hsing Zheng's hand, as if this thin piece of paper weighed thousands of kilograms.
Hsing Zheng took the sheet of paper and carefully folded it, putting it in his sleeve.
"But." After putting the list away, Hsing Zheng calmly said, "I am still very happy. When you encountered trouble, the first person you thought of was me."
These words made Jiegeng feel embarrassed.
"Jiegeng, I hope you remember that this matter, I am only willing to help because of you!"
Jiegeng nodded stiffly. After all, she now owed others.
"You still don't understand." Hsing Zheng looked at Jiegeng again with disappointment.
"I understand. I will remember the friendship you helped me with today. If there is anything you need from me in the future, I will do my best to help you!" Jiegeng said it with great pride.
Hsing Zheng immediately used his hands to support Jiegeng's shoulders with excitement.
"What are you doing!" Jiegeng immediately panicked. This posture was rather ambiguous?
"What I told you that day was not a joke."
"What? Let me go first!" Jiegeng struggled for a moment.
" I really hope you can be my Crown Princess! "Hsing Zheng's eyes were firm." I really like you! I promise that if Duan Shuang can give it to you, I, Hsing Zheng, can also give it to you!"
When Jiegeng heard this, she could no longer remain calm. She immediately threw away Hsing Zheng's hands and took a few steps back.
"When you and Duan Shuang had a falling out, I was actually quite happy." Hsing Zheng continued to talk to himself, "I think I have a chance. But today, I know that you only have him in your heart."
Hsing Zheng's hands drooped down powerlessly.
"I'm sorry, I..." Jiegeng did not expect Hsing Zheng to really like her. This was too absurd!
Hsing Zheng suddenly laughed at himself. "You have nothing to be sorry about."
"Hsing Zheng, about this..." Jiegeng was hesitating about how to explain it to Hsing Zheng when Hsing Zheng interrupted her.
"Don't worry. I will do what I promised you. I will not go back on my word." Hsing Zheng suddenly acted as if nothing had happened and smiled brightly at Jiegeng.
This time, Jiegeng was even more speechless.
"Alright, I will go out and settle this first."
After Hsing Zheng and Jiegeng gave a rough explanation, they left the courtyard. Only Jiegeng was left standing awkwardly on the spot.
