Achieve Rivers and Mountains - C231

Duan Jingqiu gave him a big thumbs up, “Enough mouth, you can simply make it into poison to kill your enemies.” As he spoke, he started to sympathize with Mo Qingfeng, just like how he sympathized with Qin Xiaoliu, who had been persuaded by Mo Qingfeng to marry the princess. Ye Zichen rolled up his pants. There were quite a few big and small scars on his legs. It seemed like punishing her by kneeling wasn’t a big deal to her, as he had thought too much about it. After a closer look, her knees turned black and purple, making her look so tragic that it was a sight to behold. Duan Jingqiu sighed lightly. He got up and prepared some medicine, but didn’t do anything. His eyes blankly stared at her.

“It’s fine, I’m not afraid of the pain.” Qin Xiaoliu grinned.

“No, I just wanted to ask how long it has been since you last took a bath.” Duan Jingqiu was rather embarrassed. After all, he was asking a girl this sort of question. However, based on Qin Xiaoliu’s conduct, it seemed like he was going to be unnecessary.

“Aiya, there was originally nothing, so how could there be dust? Dirty and clean are things that are meant for others to see, it has nothing to do with me. ” Qin Xiao casually waved her hand. In fact, she was just worried. Why was this person in front of her so pretentious? She also didn’t know. She hadn’t eaten in three days.

“Niu Niu said Ji, Ji. “Brother, you’re being too courteous!” As Duan Jingqiu spoke, he poured some medicinal wine and kneaded her knee. The little hoodlum, Qin Xiao, grimaced in pain as he gasped for breath.

“Eh? Aren’t you afraid of the pain? ”

Qin Xiao could not stand Duan Jingqiu staring at him as if he was looking at a freak. He almost slapped him, then realizing that this was not Mo Qingfeng, he smacked his lips in dissatisfaction: “I’m not afraid of pain, but I don’t know how to know pain. You think I’m a rock?”

“Er — I’m sorry, I’m a little lighter.” Duan Jingqiu found it difficult to get along with her, and he needed to get used to it.

“Aiya, nevermind. These little injuries are not a big deal.” I’m so hungry! ” Qin Xiaolian became increasingly impatient. Being together with Big Brother Duan really made him anxious.

Only then did Duan Jingqiu ruthlessly slap himself on the face as he angrily left the room. Qin Xiaozui felt awkward looking at this arrogant and submissive person. The more he moved in and out of the room, the more restrained and uncomfortable he became. Propping himself up, he limped down and poured a cup of tea, drinking it along with a stream of stale, swill tea. Qin Xiaomu felt an indescribable feeling of contentment and resentment after the large animals had unrestrainedly poured water on the land after a long drought. “Damn it, just who did I offend.” As he spoke, he picked up the cup and smashed it on the ground.

“Niuniu, why did you come down? Is something wrong? ” Duan Jingqiu pushed open the door and hurriedly helped the person onto the bed.

Qin Xiao saw him coming in and became even more annoyed. He thought to himself, if you don’t go in and get me food, why did you come in again? The little mistress did not dare to speak up due to her status. He only said in a muffled voice, “I’m thirsty, so could I trouble Big Brother Duan to get someone to fetch a jug of water?”

“So it’s actually such a small matter.” Duan Jingqiu smiled and caressed her head before saying benevolently, “I’ve already ordered my maidservants to heat up the porridge for you. You’ll be able to eat it in a while.”

She did not want to drink congee. She wanted to eat meat and drink wine. The two of them chatted without saying a word, causing Qin Xiao to be extremely embarrassed. Finally, when the maidservants brought them water, Qin Xiao seemed to have been relieved. Duan Jingqiu called out to stop her, but Duan Jingqiu immediately saw a young lady who was holding a large kettle with its spout pointed at his small mouth. Her lips had not even closed, and the only sound that could be heard was the gulping of her saliva. Duan Jingqiu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, and when he heard her, he said full of vigor: “Awesome! This is f * cking satisfying! ” Qin Xiao raised his sleeves to wipe the water stains from his chin. “This maid is really considerate. It’s good if she isn’t cold.”

However, she did not know that this “just right” had almost taken her life.

Qin Xiao didn’t go send Ruan Rou off on her final journey because someone had come to deliver a letter early in the morning. They said that they found two corpses early in the morning, and upon looking carefully, they scared the three souls into running for two and a half times. The two of them had several holes in their chests. The timid one vomited on the spot! Qin Xiao was deep in thought. While listening to his subordinate’s report, he didn’t say a word until another person delivered a letter. It was said that the third son, Shang Xingting, had been found in the house of the President of the Beijing Merchant Union. This was a long story. There were a total of four sons in the family of Shang Shou Ting. His early years were miserable, and his first son had even starved to death. From then on, he had an extreme thirst for money. His son’s name arrangement was very interesting. It was: One Gold, Two Silver, Three Wealth, Four Treasures. Afterwards, he got married several times in his concubines, but was unable to give birth to a son. He only gave birth to two daughters. The fortune-teller said that his previous path of making money was detrimental to his merits. Therefore, he swore to be a good man and named his daughter Wuji and Liude. During the day, he would make one or two taels of silver out of the porridge, and at night, he would earn a gold ingot out of luck. In this cycle, not only did he not give birth to his son, he did not even see his daughter again. Not only did his other four sons not inherit his iron hand, they were also extremely delicate and fragile. In this way, the old man’s class became extremely anxious, and he began to use every method at his disposal. A while ago, a distant relative, Wen Shixiong, had met with a crisis at her family’s rice shop. The old man’s fortune-teller made some calculations, and the three girls of the Wen family were fated to be with the merchants. When the old man heard this, he hurriedly accepted the three girls as his concubines. The Wen family didn’t care about the girl’s betrothed, they just wanted to send the girl over that night in case the merchant went back on his word. However, how could those three young ladies, in their early twenties, give away to an old man who was half buried in the ground? Moreover, if they weren’t the principal wife or the concubine, even if he stayed in the ground, he wouldn’t be able to stick his head out. He hung himself at home crying, making two loud noises, and once almost throwing himself into a well. The old man listened to the fortune-teller’s brilliant idea and gave the girl to his three sons. He had already helped San Cai marry a wife and two concubines, but their relationship wasn’t very good. The old man had a lot of business opportunities, but he didn’t know what kind of girl his son liked. It was said that the Wen family’s young lady was different from the others. She was full of knowledge, and her mouth was full of words. All the neighbors on the street said that she was a famous talented girl. Shang San Cai was unwilling to do so at first, but after hearing that the young lady was more or less a talented girl, he reluctantly nodded his head. With this, he had offended the three tigers in his family. He had a weak personality and could not suppress his wife’s rage. His concubine had already changed plates and chopsticks before she even passed the door.

Qin Xiaoliu was thinking about the letter, which listed the major crimes of the pavilion, and stated that he would execute the third son, Shang Qi, along with the new wife, to show his punishment. This series of murders had been going on for quite some time. The people who were killed were either rich or noble. Even the commoner Qin Xiao had no idea what to do. The Shang family acted as if they were facing a great enemy. The old man brought all the idle martial artists into the manor. If they couldn’t handle it, they could only temporarily shelter in the shed. As long as they were able to provide a single mouthful of food, they wouldn’t hold back even if they were given their lives. Thus, how would they care about their residences? The Shang family was the owner of a large household with plenty of socks and pants. They could not afford to pay for their meals, but with the constant interactions between the young men and the ladies, old man Shang felt awkward again. The martial arts experts who had just been recruited were all dismissed by him for one tael of silver each. Seeing that the day when Lady Wen came in was approaching, they had no choice but to seek help from the government. This time, the Ministry of Justice followed him and got fat again.

Qin Xiao kept reading the letter. He frowned and didn’t say a word. Of course, this wasn’t the main reason why she hadn’t been able to send her future mother-in-law off on her final journey. The most fundamental reason was that after drinking the water last night, her stomach had ached for the entire night. For the entire night, she was busy going back and forth between the toilet and the bedroom. She had not eaten for several days, and had only drunk two bowls of porridge. She thought that the water in the pot she had asked for was for washing, so she mixed two big ladles of cold well water into the pot of boiling water. This was great, now that the Yin Yang Water had been mixed with the previous tepid tea, it nearly caused her to lose her life.
