Cypress Boat Floating

Ye Jianqing sighed helplessly, her heart full of worry and helplessness. She couldn't stop what Lu Ciqiu was doing, and now he was alone in the court, isolated and helpless, and she was powerless and could only support him. This feeling was really unpleasant.

The two walked back to the yard together, and Ye Jianqing couldn't help but ask, "Are you still injured?" His tone was full of concern.

Lu Ci Qiu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, except for the wound on my arm, I'm not injured anywhere else. I know my limits and I won't put myself in danger, nor will I let them hurt me any more." There was a hint of relief in his smile, trying to reassure Ye Jianqing.

However, Ye Jianqing's eyes were always attracted by the bright red. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "You've lost so much blood. If your second brother saw it, he would definitely be heartbroken." Her eyes revealed deep worry, and she was uneasy about Lu Ci Qiu's injury.

Lu Ci Qiu followed her line of sight and looked at his bandaged arm, feeling a little flustered. He wanted to hide the wound quietly to avoid causing more worry, but under Ye Jianqing's gaze, he could not hide it and could only pretend to be calm and leave it there.

"It looks serious, but actually I'm just pretending to be pitiful in front of my father. It's not serious," Lu Ci Qiu explained, hoping to ease Ye Jianqing's worries.

Ye Jianqing nodded, but did not make it clear whether she believed it or not. She knew that Lu Ciqiu would sometimes use some means to achieve his goals, but she still hoped that he could protect himself.

Lu Ci Qiu touched his nose and talked about a topic that he thought could comfort Ye Jianqing a little, trying to divert her attention: "I won't go out in the next few days. Father has taken over, and I have done what I should do. What to do next is not my business."

But Ye Jianqing didn't agree with him: "Then stay at home and take good care of your injuries in the next few days. Even if you don't plan to go out, the people outside will not let you go."

"How's things going at the shrine?" Lu Ci Qiu continued to bring up another topic.

Speaking of Shenwu, Ye Jianqing sneered, obviously disdainful of Shenwu: "Even though they lost an investor like Lin Fanmao, they still have other investors. They are not worried at all. They are just sad about losing a little money, which has nothing to do with them."

Lu Ci Qiu touched his nose awkwardly, and glanced at Ye Jianqing quietly, trying to find a topic that would make her feel better, so he said, "I won't go out in the next few days. Father has taken over, and I have done what I should do. What to do next is not my business."

However, Ye Jianqing was not attracted by his words. Instead, he said seriously: "Then stay at home and take good care of your injuries in the next few days. Even if you don't plan to go out, the people outside will not let you go."

Wrong topic choice...

In order to avoid making the atmosphere even more tense, Lu Ci Qiu quickly changed the subject: "How is the situation at the God's House?"

Ye Jianqing snorted, her tone full of contempt and disdain: "Even though they lost an investor like Lin Fanmao, they still have other investors. They are not worried at all. They are just sad about the loss of a little money, and it has nothing to do with them." After saying that, she glared at Lu Ci Qiu fiercely, as if blaming him for bringing up this unpleasant topic.

Lu Ci Qiu smiled helplessly. Well, it seemed like he had picked the wrong topic again. But he couldn't help but ask, "Is there no new progress?"

Ye Jianqing shrugged and said indifferently: "No, they live their lives freely and coax nobles from the capital to invest and pray to the so-called goddess."

Lu Ci Qiu frowned slightly. The Shenwu was really too difficult to deal with. However, many of the corrupt officials who were cleared out this time were also on the Shenwu's list. Now some of their financial resources had been cut off. It seemed that they would have to be whipped next.
