At this time, Jimo Qiao felt uncomfortable. She couldn't say that she was wearing a Taoist uniform before, but later she needed to change clothes to avoid official duties because of an injustice, so she temporarily stuffed the letter in her purse, right?
Firstly, Gan Mengxian might not believe it, and secondly, it would involve many things that are difficult to explain...
If someone asked her why she dressed up as a Taoist priest, how should she explain it?
Furthermore, if people asked her why she changed her clothes to avoid official duties after she was aggrieved, what explanation should she give?
Not to mention that these things cannot be explained clearly in a few words, even if it takes time to explain them clearly, the identities of Chaiyan and others will be exposed.
Jimo Qiao was very embarrassed. The more he thought about it, the more he felt overwhelmed. In the end, he had to choose not to explain, and apologized awkwardly: "I'm really sorry. I was too negligent and careless."
Next, Chai Yan explained a lot to Gan Mengxian for Jimo Qiao, almost all of which confirmed that Jimo Qiao was really Jimoshu's daughter.
Gan Mengxian was kind and kind to others. After listening to Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao's words, he no longer bothered or asked about Jimo Qiao's lost letter, and seemed to gradually believe her identity.
Later, Gan Mengxian asked: "How long does Miss Jimo plan to stay in Jiezhou this time?"
Jimo Qiao said: "Well... I can't say for sure. My father and mother want me to stay in Jiezhou for a while."
Gan Mengxian smiled and nodded and said, "That's great. I'll have someone find a good house for you soon. You can stay there for as long as you want."
Gan Mengxian mistakenly thought that Jimo Qiao was going to live with Chai Yan in Jiezhou City.
Chai Yan hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Miss Gan, may I say something..."
"Master Li, please speak." Gan Mengxian looked at Chai Yan and nodded.
Chai Yan said: "Miss Gan, the people who live in Jiezhou City are not me, but Miss Jimo. So Miss Gan, do you think you can let Miss Jimo live in your home?
It’s good to have a companion and someone to take care of you.”
"That's it..." Gan Mengxian was a little surprised, and then said with an embarrassed look: "Master Li, my father has been bedridden recently. In order to take care of him more conveniently, I have moved to the inner courtyard. If it is Jimo
If the lady moves in, I'm afraid...I won't be able to take care of her, so...I hope Miss Jimo can understand."
What he said was very clear, that is, he rejected Jimo Qiao's intention to live at home.
After hearing this, Jimo Qiao was not angry but happy. He immediately nodded and said, "I'm considerate. Sister Gan, you work so hard every day. I completely understand."
As he said that, Jimo Qiao glanced at Chai Yan and said to himself, it's up to you what to do now. If you are really relieved, just let me live alone in Jiezhou!
Chai Yan was a little worried about this result. Naturally, he was worried about letting Jimo Qiao live alone in Jiezhou City, so he wanted to discuss it with Gan Mengxian again to see if they could come up with another appropriate solution.
Just when Chai Yan was about to speak, the concierge suddenly appeared at the door of the hall.
"Miss, the young master is back." The concierge said respectfully.
Gan Mengxian stood up as soon as he heard this and asked, "Brother, will you receive a miracle doctor this time?"
The concierge nodded hurriedly and said: "I heard that I received it, but it seems that there is no one from the miracle doctor and his team who came back with me."
Gan Mengxian thought that the miracle doctor had just arrived in Jiezhou and was tired from the journey. He probably had to settle down first.
"Go and invite your brother here and tell him that friends from the capital are here to visit dad." Gan Mengxian ordered.
"Yes, miss." The concierge responded and left in a hurry.
After Gan Mengxian finished speaking, he looked at Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao and said, "Miss Jimo, Mr. Li, it just so happens that you also meet my brother, let's get to know each other."
Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao exchanged glances involuntarily, and then both nodded to Gan Mengxian.
Soon, Gan Feng and his party arrived outside the front hall.
Following Gan Feng were Hong Bao, the thin man and the short and fat man.
At this time, Gan Mengxian was already standing at the entrance of the hall, facing Gan Feng and others.
"Brother Feng, where is the miracle doctor?" Gan Mengxian asked.
Gan Feng strode towards the main hall and said as he walked: "Mei Xian, don't be impatient. The miracle doctor has just arrived in Jiezhou, so we have to let them rest first. I have arranged for the miracle doctor and them to stay in a house not far away.
You'll be here soon."
"That's very good, very good." Gan Mengxian nodded assuredly.
While talking, Gan Feng and Hong Bao had already walked to the entrance of the hall.
Jimo Qiao spotted Hong Bao and the others at a glance. At that moment, his heart became anxious. He turned around quickly and winked crazily at Chai Yan.
In fact, as soon as Gan Feng and the others appeared, Chai Yan recognized Hong Bao and the others. At that time, he complained in his heart, what a coincidence, those who captured the escaped slaves yesterday were actually members of the Gan family.
!
However, Chai Yan was much calmer than Jimo Qiao. While remaining calm and composed, he also gave Jimo Qiao a few looks in return, telling her not to panic or get into trouble. After all, the other party might not be able to recognize her now that she had changed her clothes.
Jimo Qiao understood what Chai Yan meant and had no choice but to calm down and try to calm down. However, her heartbeat was still beating very fast and only she could feel it.
When Gan Feng entered the hall, Gan Mengxian said: "Brother Feng, let me introduce to you. This is Miss Jimo, and her father is the high priest of the imperial court, Lord Jimoshu. I heard from Miss Jimo that Lord Jimo and our father
We have known each other for many years. When we were young, we were not only colleagues, but also very close friends."
"Jimo...Jimo High Priest?"
Gan Feng couldn't help being surprised. Like Gan Mengxian before him, he had never expected that his father actually knew Jimoshu from the capital and was a very good friend.
"Xianmei, it seems that my father has never mentioned the matter about Master Jimo in the past!" Gan Feng asked.
Gan Mengxian nodded: "Yes, Brother Feng, if Miss Jimo hadn't arrived, I wouldn't have known that my father and the Jimo High Priest knew each other."
When Gan Feng looked at Jimo Qiao, Jimo Qiao quickly showed a smile and greeted Gan Feng: "Gan... Hello, Brother Gan."
Gan Feng immediately held up his hand and said politely: "I'm here, Gan Feng, and I've met Miss Jimo."
Immediately afterwards, Gan Mengxian wanted to introduce Chai Yan to Gan Feng.
"Brother Feng, this is Li..."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I heard an angry and urgent shout from outside the hall: "Master, it's her!"
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw that the person who shouted was none other than Hong Bao. At this moment, he was standing in front of the hall door, pointing at Jimo Qiao inside with an angry face.
Not only was Hong Bao glaring at Jimo Qiao, the thin man and the short and fat man beside him were also staring at Jimo Qiao.
At this moment, it seems like a scene where enemies come face to face...
When Jimo Qiao saw that Hong Bao recognized him, he immediately closed his eyes and turned his head away in embarrassment, exhaling helplessly.
Chai Yan also rolled his eyes speechlessly, shook his head, and said to himself: It's over...
"Hong Bao, what are you doing? Do you understand the rules?"
Gan Mengxian was obviously not happy about Hong Bao's impolite behavior.
Gan Feng raised his hand to Gan Mengxian, telling her not to worry, and then asked Hong Bao: "Hong Bao, who is she?"
Hong Bao nodded vigorously and glared at Jimo Qiao angrily: "Master, she is the Taoist nun who hurt me with a dart yesterday!"
"What?"
Gan Feng exclaimed, and his surprised eyes instantly fell on Jimo Qiao's face.
The next moment, Gan Feng pulled Gan Mengxian behind him and reminded: "Mei Xian, be careful, this person is dangerous!"
Gan Mengxian didn't understand what happened between them, and quickly asked: "Brother Feng, what happened?"
Hong Bao took a step forward and decisively stood in front of the young master and the young lady, saying: "Miss, yesterday the three of us went to chase the escaped slaves, but this woman suddenly came out and blocked me, and later shot me with a dart!
"
When Gan Mengxian heard this, her face instantly became frightened.
"It's the real lady, it's her!"
"Yes! Miss, even if it turns into ashes, we will not admit our mistake."
A thin man and a short, fat man also hurriedly came out to testify.
