C17 Sick

"Look, I've helped you, but I've written a prescription for you. Does that count as a good deed?" Lin Qingqian smiled, but there was a hint of shrewdness in her curved eyes.

"What do you want?" Mo Linyuan asked. Ever since he met Lin Qingqian, Lin Qingqian's actions had been unexpected. He had to admit that what Lin Qingqian said was reasonable.

"Money... silver taels!" Lin Qingqian said decisively.

She looked at Mo Linyuan's noble bearing. If she did not take advantage of this opportunity to get some money, it was definitely her brain that was flooded with water! She was a young lady in dire straits. She had wolves in front of her and tigers and leopards behind her. How could she do it without money?

But Lin Qingqian saw that Mo Linyuan did not make a sound, so she hurriedly said again, "One hundred taels!"

Mo Linyuan still did not say anything.

"Fifty taels!" Lin Qingqian gritted her teeth. She did not know much about silver taels. She only knew from her investigation that the people in the village only spent two taels of silver per year.

"I was planning to give you a thousand taels of silver. Since you asked for fifty taels of silver, I'll give you fifty taels of silver." Mo Linyuan said expressionlessly. He ordered his men to bring fifty taels of silver. The round silver ingots looked very cute, but Lin Qingqian was so angry that she felt itchy.

Her heart was black! If she wanted to give a thousand taels of silver, why didn't she say so earlier?!

Lin Qingqian put the silver ingot into her old pouch, but she was smiling on the surface. Yingying: "Thank you, Master Guan. Then I will leave first." Lin Qingqian quickly left after saying that. She was afraid that she would kill Mo Linyuan if she looked at him a few more times.

This money was an unexpected income. Originally, Lin Qingqian was in a good mood, but it was ruined by Mo Linyuan's words of one thousand taels. She tried her best to calm herself down and advise herself. There would always be money. As long as she worked hard...

By the time she got home, it was already noon.

"You still know how to come back? Why don't you die outside!" Madame Sun was full of anger when she saw Lin Qingqian, "You haven't come back for the whole night. Don't go steal men again!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Lin Qingqian was taken away by the big boss. I heard that there is an official asking her for questions. That person on the mountain is dead!" The villagers passed by and interrupted. They looked at Lin Qingqian with some fear in their eyes. It was as if Lin Qingqian was a murderer in his eyes.

Madame Sun suddenly opened her eyes wide and took a step back, but she forced herself not to show fear. When she reached out to hit Lin Qingqian, the image of Lin Qingqian walking towards her with the guillotine suddenly appeared in her mind.

Could it be that Lin Qingqian really killed someone?

Madame Sun's mind quickly turned and she said, "Erhua, Wait for me. I'm going to Great Master's place to get some eggs too..." Madame Sun quickly took the basket and the vegetables she had just received. She then carried the basket and walked away.

Lin Qingqian still smiled. When she turned around and entered the courtyard, she saw Zhuh Xueying looking at her. Her eyes were a little empty and Zhuh Xueying was hesitant. "Qing Qian is back. Are you hungry?"

"I'm fine. I'm a little hungry. I'll have to trouble Third Master to worry." Lin Qingqian smiled and said. She just remembered that she had not eaten since she woke up.

Zhuh Xueying took out two roasted melons from the stove and passed them to Lin Qingqian. "There's not much money in the stockade recently... Oh right, what did the big boss call you over to say?"

"There are dead people on the mountain. Ask me about the situation. Third boss, didn't you hear what Aunt Er Hua said just now?" Lin Qingqian peeled off the warm sweet melon and took a light bite. It was sweet and very sweet. The hot air mixed with a sweet fragrance made one's index finger move.

Perhaps because she ate too much delicacies in modern times, perhaps she was hungry for more than a day. Lin Qingqian ate very well.

"Then what do you say? Sigh, that night I should have watched you order and not let you go out. It's just that I didn't expect you to be so bold, to actually go out at night. Aren't you afraid of falling into someone's trap and getting pointers from others... "Zhuh Xueying said rather helplessly.

Before Lin Qingqian could say anything, she took another bite of the melon. At this time, Fu Qingkong also came back.

Fu Qingkong was Zhuh Xueying's husband. Lin Qingqian usually called him big brother. She stood up and greeted Fu Qingkong, "Big brother."

Fu Qingkong walked in with two wild rabbits. He was short. Lin Qingqian estimated in her heart. About six feet. However, because he had been working in the fields all year round, his muscles were very strong. He looked like a piece of iron. He looked simple and honest. He had the simplicity of a country bumpkin.

"Qing Qian, I caught two rabbits and came back. Later, you can bring them to the kitchen and stew them tonight." Fu Qingkong walked closer and said, "Were you tired last night?"

There was a hint.

Zhuh Xueying pinched Fu Qingkong behind his back and Fu Qingkong reluctantly turned back to his room.

Fu Qingkong looked honest and honest. It turned out that he was also an dishonest, lustful person. Lin Qingqian sneered in her heart. She thought of something and said to Zhuh Xueying, "Third Master, I won't hide it from you. I had no choice but to go out that night."

"Oh?" Zhuh Xueying seemed very interested and asked, "Why?"

Lin Qingqian bit her lips. "Recently I have not been sleeping well. Sometimes when it is late at night, I actually see people going out from our yard... It scared me badly. I keep feeling that our house is not safe, so that night I wanted to go out and take a breather, but I did not expect to meet a bad person."

Zhuh Xueying's eyes carried some doubt, "Meeting a bad person?"

"I won't talk about the matter in detail with Third Master. It's related to the official investigating the case. But when someone leaves the courtyard at night, I cannot see his appearance carefully. It always makes me feel uneasy. Normally, even if something big happens, I won't go out at night. "

What she meant was that something happened that night and Lin Qingqian would leave.

Lin Qingqian's expression was calm and her eyes were very sincere. It was as if she was not familiar with the world and was still the same person who was trembling in fear and begging for life in the past. It was just that Zhuh Xueying felt that something was different.

In the past, Lin Qingqian would never hold a guillotine and threaten Madame Sun.

She had always been obedient.

Zhuh Xueying did not speak anymore. Her fingers were twisted together and her brows were slightly knitted. She looked pretty. Even though she was almost 30 years old, she still looked pretty. Her skin was rough and her hands were covered with thick calluses. She was wearing a thick floral jacket.

Lin Qingqian smiled and said, "Third Master, I will bring the melons back to the house to eat. I have not rested well these two days. I will go and sleep for a while."

"Go." Zhuh Xueying instantly became enthusiastic.

Lin Qingqian turned around and went back into the house. After closing the door, her smile immediately disappeared. She first checked her wound. After she fainted, a doctor had treated her wound. The wound was slowly recovering and it was no longer as painful as before.

She recalled what she had said to Zhuh Xueying and Fu Qingkong, as well as the expressions on their faces.

Did Fu Qingkong know what Zhuh Xueying had said?

Lin Qingqian could not help but think.
