"So much? Three blood-replenishing pills are worth more than that, right?" Jin Yan raised her eyebrows.
Liu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "With the remaining silver... let's buy some candies."
"Hey, hey, the rest is enough to buy a lot of candies, what do you want so much for?" The more Jin Yan looked at Liu Zhan, the more she felt that he had not held it in well.
"...Then just change it to a hairpin or bracelet." Liu Zhan was speechless.
Jin Yan looked at Liu Zhan with strange eyes, "hairpin, bracelet? Mr. Liu is in the mood for spring? No way, isn't it autumn?"
She said and stretched out her hand to feel the temperature.
Liu Zhan had veins popping out on his forehead and slapped it on the counter, "Just buy it if I ask you to. How can there be so much nonsense?"
Seeing that Liu Zhan was angry, Jin Yan also shut up.
But after a while, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again, "Hey, is she that little girl from the Lin family? I remember that she has liked you for a long time and you always pretended that you didn't know."
Liu Zhan's face was completely dark.
——
Qiao Qixin was walking in Li's mansion.
She didn't know the furnishings of Li Mansion. When she first arrived, she felt that everything looked the same.
"Where is it...I remember Mama Lai walking this way..." Qiao Qixin muttered as she walked.
Strangely enough, she had been walking for a while, but she didn't even see anyone who could ask for directions.
Suddenly, a pair of calloused hands appeared and tightly covered Qiao Qixin's mouth before she screamed.
Qiao Qixin's hair stood on end. Although her body had recovered a lot, she was still in a weak state and could only watch as she was dragged into the woods.
"I am Mr. Liu's subordinate. Don't be afraid. I'll let you go now. Don't scream, okay?" The person covering Qiao Qixin's mouth whispered.
He was also very nervous, fearing that Qiao Qixin's shout would attract people.
Qiao Qixin said "woo woo", nodded and clapped the hand covering her mouth.
The man also gradually relaxed his strength. Seeing that Qiao Qixin really had no intention of screaming, he completely let go of his hand.
Qiao Qixin wiped her mouth and said, "Are you from Liu Zhan?"
The hidden guard immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, Miss Qiao."
"Okay, you go back and tell him that I quit." Qiao Qixin stood in front of the hidden guard and said calmly.
The hidden guard was startled and said quickly, "Miss Qiao, please don't act out of emotion. Mr. Liu has worked hard for a long time to achieve such progress. If Miss Qiao gives up now, Mr. Liu may..."
"Afraid of what?" Qiao Qixin said in a strong tone.
The hidden guard lowered his head and said cautiously, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid he will be angry with Miss Qiao's family..."
Qiao Qixin secretly clenched her fists, but her face remained calm, "Are you here, threatening me on behalf of your master?"
"I don't dare, little one." Yinwei's head almost dropped to the ground.
"Huh -" Qiao Qixin took a long breath and said, "Forget it, Liu Zhan, what do you want you to do with me?"
Yinwei said, "Young Master Liu said that the Li Mansion is hosting a banquet tonight, and I hope that Miss Qiao will go to the grove in the middle of the banquet. Young Master will be waiting there."
Qiao Qixin clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh, "I know." Her voice was trembling.
The hidden guard nodded.
Qiao Qixin turned and left the woods.
She leaned against the wall of an unknown courtyard, and her clenched hands gradually spread out.
To put it lightly, Liu Zhan, do you really think I can sneak out around the middle of the banquet?
Qiao Qixin looked at the sky, a deep sense of powerlessness spreading through her limbs.
"Why, it's raining..." Qiao Qixin wiped the "rain" off her face vigorously, turned around and continued to look for Lai's mother.
She wandered around the Li Mansion for a long time, and finally met a maid who was cleaning.
The maid led her to the kitchen, where Lai's mother was bragging to a group of women.
"Let me tell you, my old ox is so powerful that it can plow ten miles of land without getting tired! And I..."
Lai's mother paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Qiao Qixin, she was a little disappointed and said, "What are you doing here?"
Qiao Qixin smiled and said, "Mama Lai, did you forget my breakfast?"
Suddenly, several people in the kitchen who knew Qiao Qixin's identity all looked at Lai's mother.
Lai's mother froze in embarrassment, then laughed and said, "Oh, look at my head, how could I forget you."
With that said, Lai's mother stuffed two steamed buns and a plate of pickles into the lunch box, stuffed them into Qiao Qixin's hands, and quickly returned to the crowd to continue bragging.
"I'll tell you next..."
Qiao Qixin shrugged and left with her lunch box in her arms.
She returned to the small courtyard according to the route in her memory.
The steamed buns are already cold.
Qiao Qixin stood in front of the small stove where Chinese medicine was boiled and looked at it for a long time, then decided to light a fire and bake steamed buns to eat.
She ate the pickles with the toasted steamed buns, then pinched her nose and drank the Chinese medicine with a painful look on her face.
Qiao Qixin put down the medicine bowl, her eyes indifferent.
There will be a banquet at Li's house tonight, and we will go to the grove in the middle of the month...
She closed her eyes and reviewed every word the hidden guard said.
Are you going to hold a banquet to celebrate? Did the daughter of the Li family succeed in finding the medicine?
Qiao Qixin gritted her teeth, feeling sad in her heart.
Forget it, Sister Zhang, Brother Zhang, when I finish this, I will take you somewhere else. Let's change places and start over.
Qiao Qixin thought.
I hope Liu Zhan can protect Sister Zhang and the others, hey...
Qiao Qixin was helpless, but she had no other solution.
The system is still being updated and can only be exchanged for some medicines in the mall. Moreover, she does not have many seeds accumulated... This chapter has been completed!
