Chapter 59

Hua Ling couldn't hold back a snort of laughter "What did you say? She, she wants to sleep with you? Aigoo, I'm laughing my ass off."

Yan Shi actually wanted to laugh too, but his good breeding and respectable status made him hold back. "What exactly is going on?"

Qu Liujing's face was a little unnatural "Just now I was getting ready for bed and was just about to lie in bed when I heard someone knocking on the door, I thought it was a servant so I didn't care and opened the door, who knew it was the aunt. I stood at the door to avoid suspicion and spoke to her, but do you know how fierce she was? She told me that she liked me and wanted to spend the night with me, so I told her to go back, and then she stood outside the door and undressed herself.

"Brother, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts, rub it for me quickly." Hua Ling was bent over with laughter as he held his stomach, and Yan Shi obeyed him, stretching his hand into his stomach and rubbing it gently. After a few rubs, Hua Ling's expression changed slightly and he coughed lightly "Brother, brother, there's no need to rub it, it doesn't hurt anymore."

He then asked Qu Liujing, "You came up here and she didn't stop you?"

"Of course she did, but I can run faster than she can, can she stop me?" Qu Liujing said as he quickly put his unkempt self back together, "I'm also out of luck, it's probably because she saw me living by myself that she came looking for me. Your Highness, I can't go back tonight, you have to take me in for the night."

Hua Ling immediately said warily "We don't have a place for you to sleep here."

Qu Liujing pointed to the low couch outside, "I can sleep there."

Hua Ling was about to say something else when Yan Shi intercepted her words "Mingting, let Mr. Qu stay here for the night."

Only then did Hua Ling reluctantly agree, and rolled away all the blankets on the couch with his hands.

The corners of Qu Liujing's mouth twitched, "Your Highness, at least leave me a blanket, it's winter."

"Oh." Only then did Hua Ling pull out a thin blanket and give it to him, "Brother said he has internal strength to protect his body and is not afraid of the cold, I thought all of you who know martial arts are like this." The implication was, you piece of trash.

The disliked Qu Liujing bristled and didn't say anything, lying down on the low couch and wrapping the small blanket tightly.

The next morning, Yan Shi decided to go out to find Zhao Chunhai and Cao Dejin, who were staying at the inn.

He had asked them to look into the Zheng family's affairs and the situation of the local officials, and after the morning meal, Yan Shi made an excuse to Xu Yuanjiao and left the house. He was laughing and talking with them at the table as if last night's events had not happened.

Having met Zhao Chunhai and Cao Dejin, these two did find out something, and even if Yan Shi did not come to them, they intended to go to him.

Zheng Lin and his wife, Madam Zheng, were both local people, and Madam Zheng's family only had two daughters, her and her sister Xu. But Xu had been a debauchee since she was a child, and she had had more men than she could count. More than twenty years ago, Xu was knocked up by a man and left home after giving birth to a daughter, who is now Xu Yuanjiao.

This scandalous incident in the Xu family killed Master Xu, and two years later, Madam Zheng married Zheng Lin. About a year later, Mrs. Xu died of a serious illness. Seeing that Xu Yuanjiao was alone, Mrs. Zheng discussed with Zheng Lin to bring her into the family and raise her as her own daughter.

But a year or so ago, Xu Yuanjiao suddenly claimed to be ill and was sent to the Zheng residence to recuperate, which took nearly a year. After she went to the other house, Mrs. Zheng declared that she was pregnant again and that she rarely came out of the Buddhist temple in order to pray for the blessing of her unborn child.

It was only a month after the birth of the young master that Xu Yuanjiao returned, and it was also at that time that the whole of Zheng's underlings were changed. Zhao Chunhai even found the midwife who had delivered Xu Yuanjiao's baby in the first place. So, Yan Shi's guess was correct, the young master was indeed born to Xu Yuanjiao.

As for the young master's departure from home to study, it was at the same time when Xu Yuanjiao left the house to recuperate from her illness.

The youngest son was born to Xu Yuanjiao, and she had been gone for many years, only returning a few months ago.

The above is Zhao Chunhai's

The first thing you need to do is to put down the Zheng family and check with the local officials." The matter of the Zheng family is about to come to light, so there is no need to bother investigating it.

Yan Shi and Hua Ling had their lunch outside, and because of Xu's arrival, Yan Shi and the others returned to the Zheng residence as if they were thieves.

They thought they could avoid Xu, but she was standing under the eaves of their house waiting for them. What took you so long to come back?"

Xu's handkerchief was raised and gently swept past Yan Shi's chest, Yan Shi was slightly offended and Hua Ling was even more offended, grabbing the handkerchief with his quick hands and eyes and questioning loudly "What are you doing!"

"This little medicine boy, what are you doing with my handkerchief?" Xu smiled, her voice full of charm, and she looked like she was flirting.

Hua Ling pulled the handkerchief into his hand with a single effort, and Xu said with a smile "Since the little medicine boy likes my handkerchief so much, I will give it to you."

"Bah!" Hua Ling threw the handkerchief in the place and stomped on it, "I let you flirt with my brother, I let you flirt with my brother!"

Xu's face then changed slightly "Little medicine boy, what are you doing?"

Yan Shi didn't stop, knowing that the young princess was really angry, so he should let him let out his fire, so that he wouldn't hold it in.

"You shameless woman!" Hua Ling pointed his finger at Xu's nose and cursed, "A big age, older than even my mother, and you still want to seduce a young male, you're not ashamed of yourself!"

"What did you say?" Although she was a bit older now, she had maintained herself well and had never had a man younger than her, but this was the first time she had been scolded by someone pointing at her nose, especially in front of the servants. Xu's face could not be embarrassed, and she was so angry that her face turned red, "You little brat, you haven't even grown up yet, how dare you insult me here?"

Hua Ling tsked a few times, "You know we are young, I thought you didn't know? Now that you know, how can you have the face to seduce my brother. I think you might as well be in a brothel, you can still earn some silver and seduce men."

"You! You! You!" Xu was so angry that she shivered and said three times in a row, "Are you comparing me to those whores?"

"Ah, I said it wrong." Hua Ling covered his mouth with his hand and then quickly released it, "Most of those prostitutes had to be sold into the brother house because of their livelihood, so I could still pity them. But you volunteered, you're not even as good as them!"

Fortunately, a maid was quick to help her, and she looked at Qu Liujing and said, "Are all the people in your Immortal Medicine Valley like this?"

"Our Immortal Medicine Valley is a Jianghu school, not unlike those who come from big families like the aunt's. We have never been too formal." Qu Liujing made a very innocent look, "What's more, it's not like my medicine boy was wrong."

"You guys! You guys!" Xu was about to go mad, "Come on, someone, put them ..." She didn't know what she could do to them, she was so angry that she spoke incoherently.

At that moment, Xu Yuanjiao came from afar with the young master in her arms "Mother, what are you doing?"

When Xu saw her daughter coming, she thought she had some help and said, "They are bullying me!"

Xu Yuanjiao knew what Xu had done last night, she knew what kind of virtue her mother had, and did not take it to heart, she only said to Xu "Mother, is your old problem coming back? Now that my uncle is about to get better, why are you still like this? Didn't you say you had changed before? If you are still like this, how can you make uncle trust you?"

Xu was a little sarcastic and didn't say anything more. Xu Yuanjiao made amends for her mother and then said that Zheng Lin had refused to take his medicine again.

When they arrived at the room, Hua Ling tugged on Yan Shi's broad sleeve in aggression, "Brother..."

Yan Shi took him into his arms, "Mingting did a great job today, I wasn't even scared."

"Really?" Hua Ling was actually a bit worried, "I was afraid you would blame me."

Yan Shi smiled, "How could you? Mingting does everything right, is he out of breath?"

Hua Ling also heatedly laughed a few times "I'm relieved, I feel much better after I've just finished."

The two of them hugged each other and talked for a while, and not long afterwards Qu Liujing came back, and Hua Ling said, "Brother, did you feel that there was something strange about what Miss Xu said just now? What about the fact that she had changed everything and how she would trust you if her uncle knew about it? This is a bit ambiguous? Is it possible that this aunt and Master Zheng still have an affair?"

Qu Liujing coldly snorted "With this aunt's character it's really hard to say."

"But, but Miss Xu and Master Zheng ... and then Xu and Master Zheng also ..." Hua Ling was a bit incredulous, "Aren't she and Miss Xu mother and daughter? This mother and daughter and ..."

"How is Zheng Lin doing?" Yan Shi interrupted the conversation, he didn't want to let these dirty things pollute the young princess's pure heart

******** Qu Liu Goblet said, pulling out a small bottle from his sleeve and waving it in front of the two of them.

Hua Ling looked at him warily, "What's this? A big bug?"

Qu Liujing said "This is the poison that poisoned Zheng Lin."

Yan Maki frowned "You mean ..."

"I am saying," Qu Liujing said, "that Zheng Lin's poison may have been administered by him."
