Chapter 200 Please help me dig out the mastermind behind the scenes

"Madam, what are you..." Xia Qianqian's hand hurriedly pressed on the square handkerchief, and her heart was beating wildly.

What the handkerchief covered was the Ruyi bracelet between her wrists, the butterfly-shaped birthmark.

"I..." Xi Yalan was speechless and said lonely: "It's time for me to go back."

She spoke in a very soft voice, as if all the strength in her body had been taken away, and her steps were difficult.

Xia Qianqian looked worried and stretched out her hand to support her, "Madam, you are weak and should rest."

"Okay, I'll go back and rest right now, Grandma Rong!"

Xi Yalan called out softly, and Grandma Rong supported her other arm, and the two of them staggered towards Nianxianyuan.

Flower petals were flying all the way, dancing lightly above their heads.

The beautiful scenery is picturesque, but the figures of the two people look so sad and lonely.

Along the path full of peach blossoms, the two of them came to the small tomb.

Xi Yalan collapsed on the ground, her head next to the tombstone, her fingers caressing the fonts on it, and she burst into tears before she opened her mouth, "Xian'er, what are you doing as a mother?"

"Xian'er, you are clearly here, but I... still hope that you are still alive."

"Back then, the arrow passed through your swaddling clothes, and blood spattered. You escaped from your hand and rolled down the cliff..."

Speaking of this, Xi Yalan burst into tears, "Under the cliff is the mighty Fu'an River..."

"My child, my poor child, we have been searching for you in the river for a month, but we haven't even found your body..."

"My mother thought that without a body, you would have a glimmer of hope of living. My mother always thought that you were still alive... wu wu wu."

"Mom, I hope so much that you can still be alive..."

When I mentioned the past, I was filled with grievances, uneasiness, and deep longing, which eventually turned into tears, gurgling down my face.

After a while, Xi Yalan burst into tears.

Grandma Rong on the side couldn't help but lift up her sleeves and wipe her tears.

Not far away, Xia Qianqian, who had caught up with them, was standing under a peach blossom tree, holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hands and staring blankly.

From Xi Yalan's intermittent narration, Xia Qianqian made up some plots and felt sad for this mother in her heart.

Unfortunately, her daughter died, and her mother was devastated, so in despair and grief, she kept hoping that her daughter was still alive.

So just now, maybe one of my actions was very much like her daughter, so that's why...

In her previous life, she lost her parents when she was young and grew up alone.

She used to be obsessed with studies and medical skills. When she came back to her senses and wanted to honor her grandfather who raised her, he unfortunately passed away.

The pain of losing a loved one made her empathize with Mrs. Xi's pain.

The trainee wife was originally unhappy, but she couldn't bear it.

Let Yuan Bao go to Hanxuan Courtyard first, while he took the opportunity to get a cup of hot milk tea from the Ruyi bracelet to make her happy.

She never imagined that she would encounter such a scene.

It's better to leave her some space, let her cry for a while, and vent, maybe she will feel much better.

Xia Qianqian turned around and quickly walked back from Nianxianyuan quietly.

When they entered Hanxuan Courtyard, Ji Zimo and Yuan Bao were already sitting at the table in the lobby and began to use chopsticks.

Seeing her come in, Ji Zimo greeted: "Come quickly, you must be hungry after fighting all morning."

The fight between her and the gangsters has become a big news, spreading throughout Zhuxian Academy.

"I'm hungry!"

Xia Qianqian came to the table with milk tea in her hand, picked up an empty bowl, and opened the lid of the milk tea cup.

Stir it with a spoon, pour out half the bowl, and hand it to him, "Here, the kid can only drink half of it."

Yuan Bao was happy when he saw it.

This is what my sister promised to give him to drink when she goes back in the evening, but now she gives it to him in advance.

The little guy was so happy that he grabbed the bowl and took a careful taste. His face suddenly turned into a smile, "Sister, it has a strong milky aroma and the small beans are slippery and delicious."

Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly.

She took two more bowls, poured the remaining milk tea into two bowls, and pushed one bowl in front of Ji Zimo, "Mr. Mo, this is milk tea, you should try it too."

Ji Zimo looked at the white milky liquid in the bowl and frowned slightly, "I won't drink what others have left."

It was indeed leftover, because she poured a glass for Yuanbao first and then poured it to him.

"Don't put on airs!"

Xia Qianqian now speaks more and more casually, "I'm afraid I'll pour it to you first. What if you're worried about the poison and don't drink it?"

Ji Zimo: "..." They have been together for so long, and she is still very wary of him.

Yuan Bao: "..." It turns out that he was a poison tester. The milk tea in his mouth suddenly lost its aroma.

Xia Qianqian looked at the two men with resentful eyes, picked up the small bowl in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Bang!"

Putting the bowl heavily on the table, she said coldly: "I shouldn't be so kind as to prepare something to drink for you."

This sentence breaks the deadlock.

Yuan Bao picked up the bowl and took another sip, "Hmm, it tastes good!"

With a tense expression, Ji Zimo elegantly picked up the bowl and took a sip.

In the rich milky aroma, there are plump pearl-like small particles, which are strong in the mouth and have an endless aftertaste.

He has never drunk this kind of drink, but it is rare.

"What kind of milk tea is this?"

"Pearl milk tea", Xia Qianqian emptied the bowl and started eating, "I plan to sell it in my small shop in a few days."

Pearl milk tea is one of modern women’s favorite drinks.

She believes that she will be able to conquer the taste buds of ancient people.

"It's a little sweet!" Ji Zimo judged fairly.

"Next time, I'll make it a little lighter."

Xia Qianqian said while eating, and suggested: "I will make you a cup of coffee another day, how about you try it?"

What boys like to drink is coffee and various fruit drinks, and she actually wants to try them too.

However, this kind of thing needs to be done slowly and cannot be rushed.

After the three of them finished eating, Xia Qianqian sent Yuan Bao away while she stayed.

First, he poured a cup of tea for Ji Zimo, then he also sat down opposite him with tea and said bluntly: "Today, I had a fight with someone at the door. What do you think?"

"You have good skills!" His answer was teasing.

"That's because Jiang Meng underestimated me, so I was able to catch him off guard and knock him down directly. But if Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Mazi comes again in the future, I'm not sure."

"What do you want me to do?" Ji Zimo heard the hidden meaning in her words.

Xia Qianqian picked up the cup and took a sip of green tea, "Please help me eliminate the hidden dangers, so that I won't be exhausted."

"Okay!" Ji Zimo readily agreed, "I will definitely knock down the mountain and shake the tiger, and help you find the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Thank you!" She smiled brightly at him, not forgetting to praise: "I feel relieved when you do things."

She thought about it and said, "I will be very busy recently. My small shop will open as soon as possible. I have already drawn up the layout and asked Uncle Wang to help me find a carpenter. I will start making wooden partition furniture tomorrow."

"On our way to Jiangcheng this morning, I saw it clearly. The river receded and the land beside the river was exposed. Tomorrow I will ask the village chief to find some people to start cultivating the land."

"The cotton seeds at home also need to be carefully selected to increase the seedling rate."

"These tasks are trivial. Even if Jiang Meng doesn't get up in the morning to cause trouble, my breakfast shop will be postponed for a few days. When the shop is ready, we will open it together."
