Poison Doctor Prince Concubine

Chapter 120 One step too late

I don't know why, maybe because I know this man is the man my mother once wanted to marry.

Knowing that this man has paid a lot for his mother, and knowing that he has never married a woman for his mother's infatuation until now.

An Qingran looked at him, inexplicably feeling a little fond and friendly.

"This is the Marquis of Dingbei, and I am the master of this idle house. I don't know what is the purpose of Marquis Dingbei's visit this time?"

Murong Cheng, Marquis of Dingbei, could not help turning his head when he heard a clear voice coming from behind him.

When he turned around, An Qingran's appearance was fixed in his sight.

He looked at An Qingran, at the young man in front of him, with snow-white clothes, snow-white hands, and long hair as smooth as black jade tied up with a snow-white ribbon.

Half loose, half bundled, romantic and comfortable, elegant and extravagant.

His eyes are like warm snow that has not yet melted in spring.

Shiny, crystal clear, soft, dazzling, and seemingly unnoticed.

His lips are as warm as jade, the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, and his faint smile is as comfortable as the sunshine in March.

But the aura that came out inadvertently was not to be underestimated.

It was the familiar aura of Murong Cheng, the aura that a superior person was used to, it was an aura that was not angry but prestige.

More importantly, looking at the jade-like young man in front of him, he always had the illusion that he saw Xuan'er from 20 years ago.

That's right, between the boy's eyebrows, Xuan'er's shadow is so clear.

Just like Xuan'er who disguised herself as a man 20 years ago, she also smiled like that.

The difference is that Xuan'er's smile is always gentle and sweet.

But there is a sharp edge hidden in the smile of the young man in front of him.

But even so, it couldn't stop Murong Cheng from having an indescribable affection for this young man.

It was as if there was something surging in his blood, which made him feel close to this young man.

"Oh, that's right." When he spoke, he was a little absent-minded.

I don't know why, when facing An Qingran, Murong Cheng, Marquis of Dingbei, felt at a loss.

This feeling has never been felt before, and even he himself was extremely surprised.

Of course, he is a battle-tested general after all, and after a slight gaffe, he quickly calmed down.

"I'm here to trouble you because I want to discuss something with the owner of this garden. Since this young master is the owner of Idle People's House, can I beg this young master to agree to the next thing?"

"Marquis Dingbei don't need to be so polite, just say what you have to say, if Xiao Ke can help, he will definitely help."

For the sake of his mother, Xu, An Qingran would treat Murongcheng, Marquis of Dingbei, kindly.

That Ding Beihou Murong Cheng obviously did not expect the owner of this idle house to be so talkative.

He had inquired before, and said that the master of the idle house never saw any guests.

He also tried his luck with the mentality of being rejected.

Unexpectedly, the other party treated him very politely.

Not only did he invite you, but he also spoke so politely, which made him feel a little embarrassed to speak up.

"Does Dingbei Hou have something difficult to say? If you don't mind, can you tell me?"

An Qingran saw Dingbei Hou Murong Cheng's expression of difficulty opening his mouth, so he knew that he was coming to ask for something.

So she took a breath and spoke for him.

Murongcheng, Marquis of Dingbei, heard An Qingran say that, so he licked his old face and said what he asked for.

"To be honest with this little brother, I do have something to ask for. I heard that there is a hot spring in the home of the idler. I also heard that the hot spring water can warm the meridians, unblock the collaterals, flow Qi and blood, dispel cold and relax tendons, and is good for chronic diseases such as joints. It also has a very good curative effect. So, I took the liberty to come to the door, and wanted to ask if my brother can give up Yuanzi to me?"

"So that's the case. I don't know who in Dingbeihou's family needs this hot spring water for treatment?"

"It's my mother. My mother's health has been declining in recent years. As a son, I want to be filial. It would be even better if my mother can be spared some illnesses."

After Xuan'er passed away, he vowed not to marry for life, which became a problem for his mother.

In this way, he is already unfilial, so he wants to show filial piety in other ways, so as to reduce the feeling of guilt in his heart.

"Of course, I also know that it is a bit presumptuous to come to the door to ask for this. If my brother is not willing, then can I let my mother live here for three months and let my mother soak in the hot spring for a period of time?"

"Of course, as far as the fee is concerned, just ask me, I will definitely give it to you."

Murongcheng was afraid that An Qingran would not agree, so he made the next best thing and made this request.

An Qingran was forced to sell Xiaoyao Villa before.

But at this moment, she had a willing idea.

If this garden is sold to Dingbeihou Murongcheng.

She felt that not only was it suitable, but she was also willing to sell it.

Thinking of her, she smiled and said: "It turned out that this happened. It was a coincidence. If someone came to the door a month ago and said so, Xiao Ke would definitely not want to."

"But now, it's different again. Maybe, this is the fate between you and me, it's the luck of the Marquis of Dingbei. But our family will move to the south, so this garden is going to be sold in the near future."

"Coincidentally, I was thinking about which buyer to choose just now. I didn't expect that Dingbeihou would come to the door. So, I have to say, this is God's will."

"So, brother, is he willing to sell this garden to you?"

Murong Cheng looked a little unbelievable at this time.

After all, he had made a lot of preparations in advance, and he never thought that the other party would sell him the garden. If he could let his mother live for three months, he would be satisfied.

Unexpectedly, there was such a turning point in the matter. It was just like what the young man said, it was fate, it was his luck.

And An Qingran didn't seem to believe it when he saw Murong Cheng.

She hurriedly ordered the person in charge to come out and prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her.

She personally wrote three contracts, signed them under her name Jia Ming, and placed them in front of Murong Cheng, Marquis of Dingbei.

"As for this garden, the original asking price was 100 million taels of silver. But I heard that Dingbeihou bought it for my mother. This kind of filial piety is rare, so I gave Dingbeihou a discount. I only need to give Xiaoke 80 taels of silver. Can."

Who knew that Murong Cheng, Marquis of Dingbei, heard it.

Shaking his head quickly, he said: "No, no, it's presumptuous of me to come here, how can I let my brother lose so much money. This garden, I know it well, it is indeed worth 100 million taels of silver."

"In other words, there are even higher bids outside, and my brother has never been tempted. So, how can I let my brother spend money? Just selling the original price of 100 million taels to me is already taking advantage of me. Therefore, you can't , no."

After Murong Cheng signed the contract, he insisted on paying An Qingran a silver note of 100 million taels, no difference.

Seeing that he was so persistent, An Qingran no longer refused, but happily accepted the bank note.

Then he went to the back hall to write a note, and took out ten bottles of health pills and five bottles of beauty pills and handed them to the person in charge.

"These pills, when you leave this garden, leave them in the front hall. I have written a note in it, and Ding Beihou will understand when he sees it."

"Yes, master."

"In addition, before the handover procedures of the garden are completed, you ordered all the people below to evacuate from this garden. Including the manpower on the farm, I will transfer them within one day. If there is no time to transfer things, all will be given to you." I will destroy it, understand?"

The spy went back from Hongxiuyuan to report to the master, and then found the garden according to the topographic map of Xiaoyao Mountain Villa. It should be there in five days at the latest.

Therefore, there is only one day to evacuate, and they may come tomorrow morning.

Or if it is a little faster, it will be here tonight.

There was not much time left for her to prepare.

She had to react as quickly as possible, had to think of the worst.

The person in charge heard An Qingran's order.

Although he didn't know what urgent matter happened, but he also knew that he was not allowed to think about it for a moment.

The matter was urgent, and he had to arrange it immediately.

Because of An Qingran's order, the person in charge first arranged for the evacuation of the farm staff.

Those important research and development achievements were relocated along with the manpower.

As for the things that are not too important, the person in charge simply ordered the people to directly burn them to the ground without leaving any traces.

When it was time to light the lamps, all those who should be evacuated from the farm had been evacuated, and all the precious medicinal materials that had to be transferred had also been transferred.

The rest were not very important, and the person in charge destroyed them according to An Qingran's order.

As for the idlers living in this garden, it is much easier to arrange than the farm.

As long as the hands go out on the line.

Small pieces of gold, silver and soft things, those people naturally carried them away.

As for those big pieces and other decorations, An Qingran didn't let anyone destroy them, but decided to leave them all to Murong City, Marquis of Dingbei.

Anyway, looking at him pleasing to the eye, it was all a gift for him.

Although some gifts were expensive, An Qingran didn't feel bad about them.

After arranging all this, An Qingran hurried back to the capital overnight without stopping for a moment.

Because she was worried, even though she had thought of everything she should have thought of before going out, she was still not at ease.

So once the affairs at Xiaoyao Villa were settled, she didn't even dare to take a breather, and went straight home.

And less than an hour after An Qingran left.

That spy really led a group of people to find the location of Xiaoyao Villa, that is, the idle house.

But it was useless for them to find the right place at this time.

The Idle People's House has changed its head, and it is now the other courtyard of Dingbei Hou Murong City.

When the news reached the ears of the bronze-masked man, he was so enraged that he shattered the table with his palm.

"Master calm down."

"Have you checked, who was the owner of the previous garden?"

A pair of eyes under the bronze-masked man's mask gave off a faint cold light.

"Returning to the master, the subordinates have already checked. The previous owner of the garden was named Jia Ming, and he came from the south to do medicine business in this area."
