346. Leaving the isolation camp
The person who appeared was none other than Zhou Ke.
To be honest, although she has never met Zhou Ke, she has met Zhou Yue! After knowing that Zhou Yue and Zhou Ke have been in contact, Lin Xi is not so worried about Zhou Ke.
When the city was not breached, Zhou Yue had already arranged for Zhou Ke to wait for him at a secret place outside the city.
Later, the rebel siege of the city was over. Although she never saw Zhou Yue again, Lin Xi understood that Zhou Yue came with her to supervise her work for Mr. Xiao, that is, to find Doctor Lin.
Doctor Lin had already left while the city was under attack, and no one could be seen. So what was Zhou Yue doing here?
He must be looking for Dr. Lin so that he can take him back to see Mr. Xiao.
Thinking like this, Lin Xi also asked: "Didn't you leave with your uncle Zhou Yue?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ke knew in his heart that Lin Xi already knew that he had hid the secret from her, and felt a little ashamed, saying, "Go back to Miss Lin. Zhou Ke promised the master that he would send Miss Lin back safely, and he would also send Miss Lin back safely, so he stayed."
Lin Xi: "..."
How could there be such a stubborn person?
She asked: "Then where have you been living all this time?"
Zhou Ke: "The original place. I saw that Miss Lin was in a safe situation, but had no intention of leaving, so I didn't show up to disturb her. Now I see that Miss Lin is leaving, so I'm here."
Lin Xi held his forehead: "But I am going back with my husband-in-law, and I don't need your escort. You can really go back."
Zhou Ke hesitated.
Lin Xi said, "You should already know how good my husband is in kung fu, and your master Zhuo Minghe also knows it."
Zhou Ke thought again and again and said, "Well, Zhou Ke listens to Miss Lin. Take care of yourself, Miss Lin."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Xi quickly stood up and called to him: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, when your uncle Zhou Yue left, did he take the old man away with him?"
Zhou Ke looked puzzled and shook his head and said: "I don't know. I waited outside the city for a long time that night, and finally I only waited for my uncle. He told me to stay with me, and then he left. He was alone at that time.
"
"Then which direction did he go?"
"At that time, I was thinking about Miss Lin, so I immediately entered the city without paying attention." Zhou Ke explained.
Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He sat back and said, "Okay, thank you very much. You go back to Zhuo Minghe first. If he is still in Ping County, tell him that I will be back soon. I still have some business to discuss with him."
After Zhou Ke listened, he said goodbye and left.
Lin Xi looked up at the yard and muttered, "You stinky old man, we met you once and left without even saying hello. Are you a friend like this? If we meet again by chance, I won't want to talk to you anymore.
You have to compensate me for working for you during this time."
After sitting for a while, Lin Xi climbed over the wall and left, going back to rest.
Early the next morning, Lin Xi got up, packed up, and prepared to leave.
Song Lingjun came to see her off at the exit of the isolation camp. The doctors at Yaolu also reluctantly said goodbye to her, and the people who were still there also said goodbye to her with even more bitterness.
This made Lin Xi feel a little sad for no reason.
When they arrived at the entrance, Shen Chen was already waiting there, along with Wang Shou, Du Buyou and Yan Zhong.
After she passed by, Shen Chen naturally borrowed her baggage, and the other three called her sister-in-law affectionately.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that during this period of time you were in the isolation camp, Brother Shen was worried about you day and night, and you couldn't eat well or sleep well." Wang Shoudao.
Yan Zhong followed immediately: "Without you, no one would watch Brother Shen take a rest. Many nights, Brother Shen would just stay in the Yamen and continue working, and his eyes would be red!"
Du couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Shen Chen glanced at them: "Talk too much. If you don't want your mouth, you can donate it to those in need."
However, Wang Shou and the others clearly saw Shen Chen's hand behind his back waving towards them, with an obvious meaning: more.
Wang Shou knowingly said miserably: "Brother Shen is so busy that he can't get out of his way. The rest time he finally squeezed out was also used to visit Lao Qian and personally make medicine for Lao Qian's wounds. Alas, who is called Brother Shen? He is such a caring and righteous person."
Du couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
Yan Zhong immediately turned his face away and tried his best to tighten his mouth.
Lin Xi always believed in them, but now he was angry and distressed, "Didn't you say you are not so busy? Shen Chen, you have learned to report good news instead of bad news now, right? Also, since you have time now, you should go back and take a nap. Damn, you don’t have to come pick me up.”
Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi affectionately and said seriously: "Sister-in-law is always the most important. No matter how busy my husband is, he still has to come and pick up his wife in person."
Lin Xi touched Shen Chen's face and said distressedly: "I feel like you have lost weight again. How long will it take to get it back? Really, it's not worth it if your body is broken. If something like this happens again in the future, we will I won’t care anymore.”
Shen Chen held Lin Xi's hand and said softly: "It's okay, madam, don't worry."
"You don't know how to take care of yourself, why don't I worry?" Lin Xi said angrily.
Shen Chen said seriously: "Then it will be more troublesome for my wife to be by my side day and night, watching me and taking care of myself."
Lin Xi nodded, hugged Shen Chen's arm, and the two of them walked towards the carriage.
She said: "We will never be separated again."
The three Wang and Shou people behind them had the same look on their faces, so they didn't burst out laughing on the spot.
Wang Shoudao: "Tsk, my sister-in-law is so easy to deceive, and Brother Shen is so shameless."
Du couldn't help but gesture: "Brother Shen knew that he would come to pick up my sister-in-law as soon as possible last night, and he was in a good mood and ate a whole chicken."
Yan Zhong covered his face. He felt that Brother Shen, who was once a wise and mighty man, was getting more and more broken in his heart.
No, he can't be the only one to collapse.
When he goes back, he will tell Qian Renjie even more jealously!
"Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you leave?"
Not far away, Lin Xi noticed that they were not there. He followed him and called them back.
The three of them became serious for a moment under Shen Chen's gaze, trying hard to keep a straight face and running over, "Here comes sister-in-law!"
The group went to a large mansion in the east of the city. Looking at the three-layer defense at the door and the Qian Mansion written on the plaque, Lin Xi asked curiously: "This is Qian Renjie's house? Wasn't he originally a minor official? Why? Is there such a big house?"
Shen Chen explained: "When he was in Jinling, the imperial court assigned him a house, which is this place. Later, his official position was reduced, and this place was sealed. Now that Qian Renjie is reinstated, this place has been unsealed. It was just two days ago. After packing up, he returned here to recuperate."
Just as he was talking, the housekeeper inside came out and took them in enthusiastically.
According to the housekeeper, if Qian Renjie hadn't been able to get out of bed right now, he would have come to pick them up personally.
The housekeeper took them to the prepared room and said: "Masters, my master has ordered people to prepare a banquet for lunch. You can move around in other places in the house. If you need anything, just call the servants."
