Chapter 8

While the black-faced man was hesitating with the golden ticket, a young servant hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Little girl, what you'd better say is true, Du Mou will leave."

The black-faced man led people to evacuate. Shen Qinglan saw with his own eyes that several of his cronies were guarding the bushes by the roadside and did not leave.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "The head of the family surnamed Du should be from Qiyazhai. I've heard people say that his name seems to be Du Yunkui."

After finishing speaking, a carriage came slowly, and Yan'er panicked immediately when she saw the words on the lantern of the carriage.

"It's the carriage of the Marquis of Nanyang!"

Shen Qinglan frowned, no wonder the people from Qiyazhai withdrew and hid to spy. It turned out that the rightful lord of the Nanyang Houfu came!

It's over, it's over, face-slapping is just around the corner!
"Get in our carriage and leave me alone."

Shen Qinglan pushed Yan'er, but Yan'er was worried.

"How does this work?"

"If you can't, you have to! Everyone in the family knows that we have come out, and many people saw our carriage when we left the city gate. This carriage must go back safe and sound before dusk. Needless to say, you also Hurry up and go."

During the speech, the carriage from Nanyang Hou's Mansion came to him, and Shen Qinglan raised his skirt and followed to stop the carriage. Before the groom could react, he hopped in from the side.

When the people in the car saw someone coming in, they frowned very displeased, and were about to ask what was going on, when they saw Shen Qinglan lying in the car and raised his head, looking pitiful.

"Help, there are robbers."

"Where did the robbers come from?"

Seeing that Shen Qinglan was well dressed, the man looked flustered, but he didn't look like he had encountered a robber.

Shen Qinglan got up and sat opposite the man. The man noticed the jade pendant around her waist, and then took a closer look at her face.

It was her.

Shen Qinglan clasped his hands together and said, "You guys have to go to Deqing Temple too, can you take me for a ride."

"Let's go."

The man said to the groom who was driving, and the carriage started to move slowly.He opened the curtain and took a look outside, and sure enough, there was a figure flashing by in the bushes.

Shen Qinglan was already weak due to taking the medicine, and now she was even more out of breath. She thought that this delicate body should take good care of her and exercise her body.

After she stabilized, she looked across.

The young man sitting in front of her at the moment was only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in brocade and satin, with a handsome face, star-like eyes, and high spirits.

Judging by his attire and age, he should be Nanyanghou's only son, the young master Mu Xingze.

Thinking of the name, some memories flooded into my mind.

Shen Qinglan and Mu Xingze had some friendship when they were young. Shen Qinglan studied with him in the academy together when he was enlightened. In addition, the two grandmothers also had some friendship and met several times, but Mu Xingze's grandmother was four years old. After the former died, there was no contact.

"Young Master, long time no see."

After being stunned for a long time, Shen Qinglan said this sentence.

Mu Xingze snorted softly, seemingly disdainful.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Shen Qinglan couldn't help pursing his lips, which was uncharacteristically different from when he was a child.

"You just said that you met a robber, what happened?" Mu Xingze asked.

"Oh, they were just asking for money. I gave them 500 taels of gold, and they left." Shen Qinglan explained.

Obviously, Mu Xingze did not believe her words.Luoping City has always been peaceful and prosperous, what kind of robbers dare to rob on the official road?I'm afraid it's because of Shen Qinglan's divorce some time ago.

"You divorced?" Mu Xingze asked again.

"That's right, but it's not a divorce for our family, it's a remarriage."

Shen Qinglan's answer was calm and breezy, she didn't look sad at all, Mu Xingze smiled lightly, why did this girl change her mind?
"I remember you said at the beginning that Meng Jingming would not marry, but now you are watching him fall into the hands of others."

Shen Qinglan knew that Mu Xingze was laughing at her, but she didn't care.

"Since Meng Jingming and Shen Qingzhi are inseparable, I don't want to be that villain who beats mandarin ducks with a stick, so I will let fate."

Shen Qinglan closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the carriage. She got up early and was weak. After all the fright and tossing just now, she was really powerless.

Mu Xingze looked at the person in front of him, with willow-leaf eyebrows, eyelashes curled up and curly, her face was flushed, and her skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out. Her appearance didn't change much, and she looked more beautiful than when she was a child. It's just that the mind is different.

Also, after these years, this girl must have experienced a lot.

In the past, the coquettish girl who loved to cry always looked arrogant, but now she is finally calmer.

Walking on the mountain road, the carriage suddenly bumped, and Shen Qinglan lost his balance and fell towards Mu Xingze.

Mu Xingze grabbed her, her body was soft, and there was a faint scent of jasmine on her body, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Shen Qinglan!"

Mu Xingze accidentally grabbed her wrist, because his grandfather's family has practiced medicine for generations, and he also knows some medical skills. When he cut his pulse, his brows tightened.

"Shen Qinglan, how are you?"

Mu Xingze ordered the carriage to rush to a remote Taoist temple not far from Deqing Temple as soon as possible. There is a Taoist priest who practices medicine here. This person is Mu Xingze's uncle Jiang Zhenian.

"Uncle, save her quickly, she is so weak that she has been in a coma for a long time, and she can't wake up no matter how much she screams!"

Mu Xingze carried Shen Qinglan into the room and placed him on the examination table.

Jiang Zhe Nian sat in the hall, took a sip of tea in a calm manner, "Young Lord, this is a Taoist temple, please call the name of the poor Taoist."

Mu Xingze breathed a sigh of relief and performed the ceremony, "Master Xiuyuan."

Jiang Zhenian put down his tea, stood up and squinted his eyes to look at Shen Qinglan, and stroked the beard that had just grown an inch.

"Hey, isn't this the little girl of the Shen family? She is much prettier than when she was a child. I remember that I went to drink full moon wine when she was full moon. This child is so ugly!"

Jiang Zhenian looked at Mu Xingze and then at Shen Qinglan, looking like "you two have something to do".

"Uncle... Daoist Xiuyuan, don't think about it, we just met by chance on the road." Mu Xingze quickly explained.

"Oh...it's a pity, that stubborn old man in your family probably won't agree with you being together."

Mu Xingze was a little speechless, his uncle had already left the Taoist school, and he was still so dishonest.

"Master, what happened to her?"

Jiang Zhenian returned to his seat and picked up the tea bowl again. Seeing that Mu Xingze was anxious, he smiled slightly.

"She's not weak, she's poisoned."

"Poisoned? What kind of poison? How could this happen?"

"This kind of poison is called bone erosion. It is said to be poison, but it is actually a kind of medicine. Many people tell him to put him to death and rebirth. Don't worry, this girl is weak now. When the poison disappears, she will be stronger than before. .As for what is going on, you can ask her yourself later."
