late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 115
Hearing what Laner said, I felt in my heart where the problem was.

"But the sixth master said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can realize my life ambitions and benefit the country and the people."

"Really? Then why doesn't he go?"

Lan'er dismissed my words with a mocking face.

"He knows that the plague is not so easy to manage, and Anqing is the place where the long-haired army meets. If you have a problem there, you will die without proof."

I was taken aback. Sure enough, politics was not as simple as I imagined, but a competition among interest groups.

If I really do something wrong, or die unexpectedly, then Lan'er will lose an arm, and I can only be mermaid.

No, I must do this well this time.

For my own sake, and for Lan'er's sake, I want to save my life, and I want to save Lan'er even more.

I looked at Lan'er calmly and comforted her gently.

"Don't worry! This plague is not a big deal, I know it well, otherwise I won't let Yixin and the others mess around, trust me."

Lan'er looked at my resolute eyes, didn't say anything, but buried her head in my chest, and murmured.

"Zhongzheng, you have to come back safely."

I could feel that Lan'er was speaking the truth, so I hugged her tightly at the risk of dissatisfaction.

Laner's body is so soft, I have the urge to want it.

Just as I was about to lean down to kiss her, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Lan'er was also a little uneasy, and broke away from my embrace.

"Someone is coming, you go through the side door of the garden."

Someone is coming, needless to say, this person must be Rong Lu, who else would dare to barge in directly without being notified!
I was a little angry in my heart, and I was about to walk away.

Lan'er suddenly pulled me back, stood on tiptoe, and kissed my lips lightly.

"come back earlier."

Is this what a woman expects from a man?

Maybe I misunderstood Lan'er, there may really be nothing between her and Rong Lu, her actions have verified all of this, the reason why she did this was nothing more than to dispel my concerns.

I walked out through the side door, and just as I was going out, I saw Rong Lu's back walking in, and I couldn't help scolding him behind my back.

"Dog, sooner or later it will kill you."

Thinking about leaving for Anqing soon, the road is dangerous, and I don't know when I will be able to return.

As soon as I got back to the house, the butler greeted me.

"My lord, there is a girl surnamed Qin waiting for you."

The girl surnamed Qin is Qin Ruonan.

I walked over quickly and saw Qin Ruonan sitting in the hall drinking tea.

"How did you know I was here?"

I was a little suspicious because I never told Qin Ruonan my identity.

Qin Ruonan smiled slightly, stood up, and walked in front of me gracefully.

"I don't know who you are? I don't know where your home is? Do I dare to let my mother take your medicine?"

It turned out that I was afraid that I had a problem!

"You actually followed me?"

I felt a little upset, and it was not enough to do a good deed without leaving a name.

"That's not true, I just want to come to Mr. Tang's mansion to recognize the door."

"Alright, I'm going to Anqing in a few days, you can come to me if you have anything to do, otherwise, I'll be busy."

I turned around and walked towards the room, leaving Qin Ruonan standing there alone.

"You... I'm a guest!"

In order to ensure my safety, I had to plan early. When I came to the room, I quickly wrote a note, and then dried the ink.

Qin Ruonan also followed in at this time, looking around my room.

"I didn't expect that your room is so simple."

Qin Ruonan "tsk tsk" a few times, wandering around the room indiscriminately.

"You sit down first, I'll go out for a while."

After speaking, I walked out quickly.

"Hey, do you entertain guests like this?"

Qin Ruonan stomped his feet angrily, and was speechless at my indifference.

I came to the yard, grabbed a pigeon, tied the paper to the pigeon's feet, and threw it into the air, and the pigeon flew high into the sky.

Hope it works as expected!

I meditate in my heart and pray for myself.

Turning around and returning to the room, I found that Qin Ruonan was holding the phoenix's hairpin in his hand, and he was in a daze.

Seeing me walking in, Qin Ruonan immediately picked up the hairpin and asked.

"Why is this hairpin here with you?"

"What do you say?"

I didn't answer, but asked instead.

Obviously, that little thief was you that day, you didn’t even remember what you dropped, and you still asked me, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart.

"This hairpin was given to me by my mother. It was a token of love that my father gave to my mother back then. My mother gave it to me in the hope that I could find my right husband as soon as possible."

Qin Ruonan looked at the phoenix hairpin, and his face began to flush.

"Oh! So that's the case, then it will be returned to the original owner."

Qin Ruonan didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something, and looked at me from time to time.

Did this woman not take her medicine today?Why is it so strange!

"How is your mother's health? Did you feel better after taking the medicine?"

I started looking for something to say, and I would go crazy if Qin Ruonan looked at me like this.

If I say this, I may be drowned in spit by many people.

Isn't it obvious and contrived to refuse to return the glances of a beautiful woman?

Qin Ruonan was slightly taken aback, then regained his composure, and spoke slowly.

"I also want to thank you. I came to the mansion today mainly to thank you. After taking your medicine, my mother's complexion has improved significantly."

"Really? Is my medicine really that effective? That's good. If she can get healthy soon, you won't have to worry about it all day long. Otherwise, a beautiful woman will become an old woman."

"Beauty? What do you mean?"

Qin Ruonan was obviously puzzled by this uncommon word, and asked suspiciously.

"It's just to praise you for being beautiful."

"It's up to you to say, this girl is naturally beautiful, and people chasing me lined up on Chang'an Avenue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ruonan's face started to turn red again, and after looking up at me, he spoke.

"When my father heard the news that my mother's condition had improved, he jumped up so happy that he kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva. I really haven't seen my father like this for a long time."

As Qin Ruonan spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Qin Wuye's reselling of opium is already outraged by both humans and gods. Not to mention harming others and himself, it will shake the foundation of the country.

But what he didn't expect was that he was still an infatuated person, and he still loved his wife.

It seems that if we want to eradicate the opium cancer in the capital, we need to do more from Qin Wuye.

And to win Qin Wuye's trust, he needs Qin Ruonan's help.
