The Chen family took care of the affection that Cha Miyue had accumulated over the years, and it was completely gone after their son escaped from the marriage.
Chen Nankang reacted and saw that Cha Miyue was dissatisfied with this. He immediately said: "I don't know, if I were in the house, I would definitely stop such a ridiculous thing."
"If you had not escaped from marriage, your parents would not have done such a stupid thing." Chu Yunli looked calm: "I, the noble county head, have become a woman who has withdrawn from marriage. As my fiancé, you will
Nothing to say?"
Chen Nankang looked apologetic: "Yue Niang, I am sorry for you. But..."
Chu Yunli interrupted him rudely: "No but, no matter what you say, I will never forgive you."
But Chen Nankang still had to speak, and he looked helpless: "I know you hate it, you can punish me however you want, but before that, can you take out the ginseng to save my life?"
"That's a thousand-year-old ginseng, which is hard to come by. It's a good thing that can save lives." Chu Yunli glanced at the unconscious woman: "It's because of her that you abandoned me and made me a laughing stock in other people's mouths. I
But I'm not that kind, and I can't repay kindness with kindness. The ginseng is mine, and as long as I'm happy, even if I throw it to the beggars on the street, no one can say no..."
Chen Nankang felt anxious as he listened to her chattering, and his tone was not very good: "Human life is at stake, can you please don't be angry?"
"No." Chu Yunli smiled and said: "Originally I didn't want to accept this apology, but Mr. Chen took the initiative to offer it. I also thought about the Chen family's love for taking care of me for many years, so I reluctantly accepted it... It was such a coincidence that I just accepted it.
I got Miss Wu’s life-saving medicinal materials. So, God is wise, if she is sorry for me, I don’t have to be sorry for her. I won’t take out this medicine."
Chen Nankang's eyes were complicated: "Yue Niang, you really seem to have changed. You were not like this before."
"Any woman's temperament will change drastically if she encounters this kind of thing." Chu Yunli said plausibly: "You forced me to do this."
Chen Nankang closed his eyes: "What do you want to do to save her? As long as you say it, I will definitely do it."
"I won't save you no matter what." Chu Yunli's face was indifferent: "She is not mine, and she also kidnapped my fiancé. Thousand-year-old ginseng is a good thing, but it is too wasteful to use it on her."
There was no concealment of her contempt for Wu Qingling in her tone. In Chen Nankang's eyes, Wu Qingling was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. How could he bear this?
"Human life does not distinguish between high and low!" Chen Nankang said sternly: "Yue Niang, how did you become like this?"
"What kind of thing?" Chu Yunli suddenly stood up: "It's not what you want, it's just that it's changed? Chen Nankang, you think too highly of yourself. The county master is willing to marry you, but that's a second marriage. If you don't take it well, you will turn the county down.
Lord, this is a big problem. Ever since you escaped from marriage, I have been someone you can’t reach. Don’t talk to me in this tone. Next time, I will ask you something.
crime!"
The two were childhood sweethearts. Chen Nankang had never seen a cousin like this before, and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to speak, but his mouth was covered by his father.
Mr. Chen was very helpless. It was no wonder that his son was not used to Cha Miyue's changes, and they could not adapt to it at first.
"Nankang, if you want the county lord to help, you have to speak politely. You should have a begging attitude when asking for help." Master Chen said with a serious face: "If you can't ask for help, don't force it. The county lord is a member of the royal family, we must respect him.
!”
Chen Nankang met his father's eyes and finally realized the consequences of his escape from marriage. He blinked to show that he understood.
Except for the incident of escaping from marriage, Chen Nankang was reliable most of the time. When Mr. Chen saw his son reacting, he relaxed his grip and stepped aside.
Chen Nankang gently put down the woman in his arms, as carefully as if he were placing a rare treasure. After settling the person, he stood up and bowed his hands to Chu Yunli: "County Lord, the common people can't help you, and I apologize to you here.
.Please Sir, please give me a large amount and don’t argue with the common people.”
Chu Yunli sneered.
Chen Nankang lowered his head: "If you want to ask questions or have any requests, the common people will listen to you. But... the common people are in urgent need of ginseng to save lives... You are the royal family and you should love the people like a son, so please take out the ginseng to save lives."
At this time, his mind was in a mess, and he wanted to save people. His mind was in chaos, and he couldn't think of any ideas at all. He could only speak a few words over and over again. After thinking about it, he seemed to be asking someone for something, and he added
Said: "I don't want you to take it for free, we can buy it from you, and you decide the price."
He is a businessman. When it comes to money, he finally has some sense: "Thousand-year-old ginseng has a price but no market. If you don't want the money, Chen Mansion will immediately release the news to buy it. I will make up for it later. I will never ask for it in vain!"
"
The words are reasonable and well-founded. If there is no grudge between the two people, the person holding the ginseng is kind-hearted and will definitely help.
Chu Yunli opened her mouth and said: "But I don't want to help."
Chen Nankang: "..."
Although he had all the good words and his posture was humble enough, the person in front of him was indifferent. He was filled with anger, but he didn't dare to show it, and his face was a little distorted.
"Then... if you change the wedding date, is it okay for me to marry you?"
Chu Yunli chuckled: "Do you think you are a treasure? To put it bluntly, if the Chen family hadn't taken care of the county head for many years, it would have been impossible for us to get engaged. Yesterday you escaped from the engagement and you want to climb high, it's just a daydream.
.”
Chen Nankang really thought that she wanted to marry him because she was unwilling to give up, so he was ridiculed. Moreover, the woman in front of him was not a joke at all. He also knew that what he just said was humiliating himself.
"What do you need to do to save people?"
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "It's the doctor's job to save people. I'm a weak woman and I don't have that ability."
Chen Nankang wanted to have a seizure, but he could only hold back and asked, holding his breath: "How do you want to take out the ginseng?"
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "No, it's a life-saving thing. It's hard to find."
Chen Nankang: "..."
If he didn't need ginseng urgently, he really wouldn't want to talk to this woman. What a bully!
Mrs. Gu was watching from the beginning to the end. Seeing that her son was about to have a seizure, she was really afraid that her son would offend others due to his youth and arrogance, so she hurriedly said: "I will send someone to look for ginseng outside. If you pay more, you should be able to buy it."
.If we can’t buy the whole one, let’s buy a few pieces first.”
With that said, he immediately called for the steward.
The steward left quickly, but Chen Nankang's frown did not relax. If he had good things at home, he would subconsciously ask if others had them... In the past few years, Chen Nankang had never heard of anyone having ginseng that was more than a thousand years old.
That's really a good thing that money can't buy.
He turned around, hugged Wu Qingling in his arms again, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, there will be medicine soon. You will be fine after drinking the medicine... I will never let you die. If you die,
I will never live alone."
These words not only expressed his feelings to Wu Qingling, but also told his parents his determination.
If you don't want him to die, think of a way to save him quickly.
Mrs. Gu's face turned pale with fright. Mr. Chen was full of hatred and wanted to teach her a lesson. His son was so focused on the beauty that he didn't even look at her. It was all in vain.
The doctor came back and heard that there was no ginseng, and he suddenly looked helpless.
Mr. Chen didn't want to spend money to buy the so-called thousand-year-old ginseng, so he said directly: "Can you use a century-old ginseng instead? The worst thing is to keep it for a while. If you drink more nourishing soup, it can be restored, right?"
"
The doctor was helpless: "It must be the thousand-year-old ginseng that lifts the Qi, otherwise..." He shook his head: "You should find medicine as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Chen Nankang's whole body softened.
After the doctor left, Chen Nankang noticed that the breath of the woman in his arms was getting weaker and weaker, and suddenly he didn't want to endure it anymore. He yelled: "Yue Niang, since you don't want to save people, why are you still here?"
"What a joke!" Chu Yunli supported his chin with his hand and said leisurely: "You two have a stronger relationship, but they can't grow old together. It shows that God still has eyes, and he made you, a heartless man, pay the price."
Chen Nankang held his head in his hands, collapsed and cried.
"Yue Niang, please save her, can't I beg you?"
In her previous life, Cha Miyue did not ask for thousand-year ginseng, and Chen Nankang also carried her back. At that time, the Chen family was unwilling to use the treasure passed down from their ancestors to save people, but in the end they still couldn't defeat their son.
With ginseng, Wu Qingling finally saved her life. However, she was seriously injured and could not move, so she lived in the house for several more months.
Sun Kunshan did not have his own house. After Cha Miyue married him, he still lived in Chen Mansion. It was also during this time that Cha Miyue completely understood Wu Qingling's temperament.
It would be too easy for her to let her die like this.
Chu Yunli looked thoughtful.
Seeing something going on, Chen Nankang hurriedly stepped forward: "Yue Niang, I swear to God, I will find you a thousand-year-old ginseng later. As long as you are willing to help, I can do anything you want!"
Chu Yunli was curious: "Is it really possible to do anything?"
His sweetheart was about to die. Chen Nankang had no time to think too much and nodded in a hurry: "As long as it does not violate human ethics and morality, I will definitely do it."
Chu Yunli glanced at the dying Wu Qingling over there, who was sleeping at the moment. She thought for a while and said: "She seduced you, causing you to abandon me and become a laughing stock. What do I think about asking me to rescue her?"
Even if you are not willing to give in, but since you asked, I have to be taken care of by your Chen family for many years. It would be unjustifiable if I really refuse to save me. As for me, I am quite selfish and do not have the gentlemanly demeanor of an adult."
Chen Nankang felt a little uneasy when he heard this. He needed ginseng too much, so he didn't interrupt.
Chu Yunli continued: "Let me watch you two love each other and grow old together. I can't do it. Well, I can give you the ginseng, but you have to promise me that you will not marry her in this life!"
Hearing this, Chen Nankang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "You..."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "If you can do it, I will send someone to get the ginseng immediately. If you can't do it, forget it. After all, you two want to be together against the wishes of your elders, even to the point of elopement."
Chen Nankang looked confused, but it only lasted for a moment. He quickly made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you."
Chu Yunli looked surprised: "I thought you two could even risk your lives for the sake of love. It turns out that you can give in to anything in front of your life. It seems that you are also a common person."
Listening to the sarcasm in these words, Chen Nankang clenched his hand at his side: "Yue Niang, thank you."
Chu Yunli smiled: "Thank you for that. Just don't hate me in the future."
The person serving Chu Yunli now was a maid from the Chen family. After getting permission, she quickly made a trip and within half a quarter of an hour, the ginseng had been retrieved.
The doctor was invited over again, and after another quarter of an hour, Wu Qingling drank the medicine, and her complexion became visibly better.
Seeing this, Chen Nankang let out a long breath.
He was still unconscious. Chu Yunli had no intention of staying longer and stretched out: "I was too tired yesterday. I have to go back to catch up on my sleep. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."
After walking a few steps, he looked back at the Chen couple: "Mr. Chen, you don't like this guy named Wu. I'm doing you a favor by making such a request, right?"
Mr. Chen wanted to deny it, but the person in front of him was the county boss, so there was no need to lie to her about this kind of thing. He smiled and said, "Thank you, county boss, for your help."
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Remember to send a thank you gift!"
*
The doctor raised by the Chen family was highly skilled in medicine, which was the biggest reason why Chen Nankang did not send Wu Qingling to the hospital but brought her back after she was seriously injured.
After a few doses of medicine, Wu Qingling slowly woke up in the evening of the next day.
Chu Yunli also did some things in the past two days, such as using money to clear the way and arranging a few eyeliners. Cha Miyue had a rich dowry and had plenty of money. Chu Yunli was particularly generous with her actions. She got it almost as soon as the people there woke up.
information.
Living in the mansion with nothing to do, Chu Yunli immediately became interested, wrapped herself in a bright red cloak, and headed to the courtyard where Wu Qingling was.
Chen Nankang originally placed people in his own yard, but because he wanted to get married, almost all of his yard was demolished and rebuilt, and everything was filled with joy.
Wu Qingling and he didn't know clearly. Placing people in such a courtyard... what was the difference between the two of them and a couple?
Not to mention that Mr. Chen doesn't like Wu Qingling as his daughter-in-law, but the county head has already proposed not to let the two of them be together. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to put Wu Qingling in Chen Nankang's yard.
Mrs. Gu didn't want her son to get entangled with this woman, so she specially arranged for her son to go to a side courtyard. What was annoying was that Chen Nankang also followed her and stayed by the bed the whole time, not even returning to the room to sleep at night.
When she learned the news, she also tried to persuade him, but her son insisted on waiting for someone to wake up before separating from him.
When Chu Yunli arrived, there was a commotion in the courtyard. It was not difficult to see that these maids were preparing hot water and food. Seeing her entering, everyone inside was stunned for a moment, and then quickly saluted.
A bright red cloak swept across the ground, and Chu Yunli had already rushed through the door. At a glance, he saw a weak Wu Qingling and a happy-looking Chen Nankang, who was asking for help.
Sensing something strange at the door, Chen Nankang turned around and saw the person coming, his expression changed slightly.
Chu Yunli asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to say hello?"
In the past ten years, the Chen family has not had the habit of greeting Cha Miyue. After Chen Nankang realized what he was doing, he stood up and went forward to salute.
"I've met the county lord."
The woman on the bed was breathing weakly. She squinted her eyes and looked here. When she met Chu Yunli's eyes, she whispered: "I am weak and I really can't get up. Don't blame me, Lord."
"I don't blame you, just don't hate me." Chu Yunli asked with a half-smile, "Mr. Chen, don't forget what you promised me."
Chen Nankang's face became more and more ugly: "I won't forget it. I won't come here until Qing Ling gets better."
Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "I didn't let you meet!"
Chen Nankang raised his head in surprise: "Didn't you mean..."
Chu Yunli interrupted him: "I'm still a businessman, why didn't you listen carefully to what I said? It's up to you!"
After saying that, he looked at the person on the bed: "Miss Wu, in order to save you, Mr. Chen took a thousand-year-old ginseng. Are you feeling better?"
Wu Qingling asked in a low voice: "Nankang, what did you promise her? Is it that you won't see me again in the future?"
At this time, Chen Nankang had already reacted. He thought that he and his sweetheart would never see each other again in the rest of their lives, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Cha Miyue was not so cruel... she just refused to let Wu Qingling become his wife.
In this world, couples are not the only ones who can stay together forever. Chen Nankang felt relieved and said: "A little thing has no impact on us. You have just woken up now and are weak, so you shouldn't worry too much. If you really want to know, then
In two days, I will tell you in detail."
You can put other things aside for a while, but not this matter. Wu Qingling looked at him persistently: "Then why did you say you wouldn't come in two days?"
Chen Nankang stepped forward to comfort him: "You heard wrong. I will stay with you every day from now on until your hair turns gray and all your teeth fall out."
He said it sincerely, and Wu Qinglin felt relieved and couldn't help but laugh: "My face must have been full of wrinkles at that time, and I would be ugly just thinking about it."
Chen Nankang said warmly: "When you get old, I will be older and uglier than you. Neither of us will dislike the other."
He turned around again and thanked the person at the door: "Thank you so much, Lord County, for this."
"I'm not that generous." Chu Yunli waved his hand: "Let's go."
As soon as she turned around, her cloak fluttered out in a wonderful arc, and she moved swiftly as she walked, with an elegant and sassy air, which was indescribably beautiful.
Wu Qingling watched the man walk away from the window and suddenly asked: "Nankang, if you don't want such a beautiful woman, will you regret it?"
"No." Chen Nankang held her hand: "In my eyes, you are the only most beautiful woman in the world. The rest are vulgar."
Wu Qingling smiled: "You're coaxing me again."
"This is the truth!" Chen Nankang said. Seeing her tired face, he said, "Drink some more soup and go to bed. You will get well soon."
Wu Qingling's eyes seemed to be closed slightly. She thought of something and woke up from her drowsiness. She held his hand and asked: "What about the engagement between the county master and you?"
"She has already withdrawn." Chen Nankang said softly: "Don't worry, she has already recognized my parents as godmothers and is now my nominal sister. It is impossible for the two of us anymore."
Wu Qingling looked surprised: "Really?"
Chen Nankang nodded.
Wu Qingling bit her lip and glanced at him shyly: "Then...will your parents agree to let you marry me? If not, what will we do?"
To be honest, after Chen Nankang got ginseng and saved someone, what he was most afraid of was Wu Qingling mentioning marriage. The two had already planned to go to the countryside to see the situation first. If he could come back, he would go home and try to convince his parents to let them come.
Propose marriage. If they can't come back, they will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to get married. In short, no one can try to separate the two of them!
And he agreed to Cha Miyue's request that he could not marry Wu Qingling. In other words, whether they lived in the city or in the mountains, they could not get married... to put it harshly, they could only have an affair without a matchmaker.
Before waiting for the man's answer, Wu Qingling couldn't help but raise her head, and when she met his complicated eyes, she felt uneasy: "Nankang?"
Chen Nankang came back to his senses and said comfortingly: "Take good care of your injuries, don't think too much. Go to sleep quickly!"
Wu Qingling stared straight into his eyes: "You have something to hide from me."
The tone is firm.
She grabbed his sleeve: "Don't even think about running away, tell me the truth quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep or eat, and I won't be able to keep well."
Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Chen Nankang sighed: "Qing Ling, sometimes it's better to be a little confused."
"I don't want it!" Wu Qingling's intuition as a woman guessed that the matter was related to Cha Miyue, and she asked: "The strange conversation between you and the county leader just now, does it have something to do with her?"
Chen Nankang was silent. Seeing Wu Qingling's eyes getting bigger and bigger without any sleepiness, he gritted his teeth and said: "She hates you and is stingy and mean. Your injury is too serious and you need thousand-year-old ginseng to save your life. Her condition for giving ginseng is...
…That’s why I can’t marry you!”
Wu Qingling was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"That's it..." Chen Nankang hesitated: "I can be with you, but I can't be husband and wife."
"You want me to be your concubine?" Wu Qingling's voice was so sharp that her voice broke.
There was a wound on her body, and the wound began to ooze blood when she was so excited. Chen Nankang hugged her and said, "Don't worry, if you become my concubine, you will be my only woman."
But Wu Qingling was not happy. She raised her head, looked into the eyes of the man in front of her, and asked: "If you don't want to marry, can you not marry? Can your parents allow you to act like this?"
Chen Nankang froze.
As the only son of the Chen family, it is impossible not to marry a wife.
"I will work hard for it."
Hearing this, Wu Qingling's heart froze. What if he couldn't win? Should he follow the wishes of his elders?
She gritted her teeth and said, "Chamiyue is so cruel! Fortunately, I thought she was kind-hearted and forgave us easily, so she is waiting here."
Chen Nankang looked at the blood spreading from the wound and advised: "Don't get excited, your health is important."
With that said, he hurriedly ordered someone to ask the doctor to come over and bandage it again.
Wu Qingqin felt the pain of the wound, tears fell down and he couldn't stop it.
"I don't want to be the young lady of the Chen family. I just want to marry whoever I want. They are forcing me one by one. It's so bullying!"
