It is really useful to be able to earn money and save some.
"That's all we have for now. We need to save up some more before we can give it to you."
"Row."
Zou Cheng'an first put the silver bills in his pocket, and then wrapped up all the small change in silver with a cloth.
All the money in the house was gone, and Qian felt very guilty when she saw it. These days, Qiu Niang had been busy from dawn to dusk trying to make money, but it was all gone in a flash.
But Ce'er's life was saved by these silver coins.
If not.
He couldn't carry it to the county town.
Qian wiped her tears silently, feeling extremely grateful to Jiang Qiu, yet unable to express it in words.
Jiang Qiu saw her mother-in-law crying and wanted to comfort her, but Lu Ce happened to wake up, so she had to leave her mother-in-law behind first, "Fifth brother, you're awake, how do you feel, are you feeling bad?"
Lu Ce used his inner organs to check the internal conditions of his body, and his recovery was astonishingly fast. At that time, he said that he had clearly felt that his vitality was slipping away. He was far away from the nearest town and would not survive at all. But now, except for some pain in his arm, everything else was the same as usual. Even the hidden injuries left over from the war had healed a lot. "Did we meet a traveling doctor?"
"No, we have Zou Cheng'an, who was once a disciple of the Medical Saint, in our team. We bought the detoxification pills from him." Jiang Qiu explained. Seeing that he was gradually getting more red, he couldn't help but sigh: "This detoxification pill is really effective."
"Zou Chengan?"
Even though Lu Ce grew up in the capital, he didn’t know every household by heart. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Grand Secretary Zou’s family?”
"Uh... I don't know. Anyway, I think his medical skills are pretty good. He can tell at a glance that the poison comes from the palace. Do you think it might be the emperor who drugged you?" Jiang Qiu asked.
Lu Ce shook his head: "No, he has a bad memory. Unless someone specifically mentions me, he would have forgotten me long ago. Besides, he is straightforward and won't beat around the bush. If he wants to execute me, he will do it arrogantly."
According to his speculation.
It is most likely the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince's woman Jiang Rourou sent him a letter. Considering the Fifth Prince's vengeful nature, how could he let him go so easily?
“There were two groups of people who came at that time.”
Jiang Qiu remembered it very clearly. At that time, when the first wave of assassins were about to be eliminated by Lu Ce, a second group came.
"Probably... targeting you." Lu Ce remembered clearly that the first group came for him, so it was easy for him to protect Jiang Qiu. But the second group, although they looked like death squads, were more like hired killers, who would stop at nothing and go straight for Jiang Qiu.
Jiang Qiu pointed his index finger at himself: "Me?"
The original owner knew very few people.
"That shouldn't be the case. Who would target me?"
She searched through her memory and looked at Lu Ce in confusion: "Is your judgment correct? Maybe it's because you have offended too many people?"
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Lu Ce didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Your elder sister."
"My elder sister?"
Come to think of it, it’s quite outrageous that Jiang Rourou is her elder sister.
The original owner was the eldest daughter of a legitimate wife, but now the prime minister's wife wanted her daughter to be the eldest, so she deliberately went out to have an affair with Jiang Rourou, and when the original owner was born, she tampered with her daughter's date of birth.
In fact, the original owner was a few days older than Jiang Rourou.
But she became Jiang Rourou's sister.
She was originally a legitimate daughter, but later became a concubine's daughter...
It's quite funny too.
But Jiang Rourou in the original novel is a pure, kind and innocent girl. How could she be killed?
This is too inconsistent with the original work.
ahhh-
But this was deduced by Lu Ce, so it should be quite credible.
Jiang Qiu was confused: "Are you sure what you said is true?"
"Not necessarily. I am judging based on experience."
"What experience?"
"The experience of staying in the palace for too long."
"I believe you!"
Jiang Qiu said immediately.
As a level 10 actress in Legend of Zhen Huan, she admires anyone who can survive in the palace.
Lu Ce couldn't help laughing and asked again, "How much is this detoxification pill?"
"Five thousand taels of silver. By the way, you have to protect Zou Chengan from now on, and we will be responsible for his food." Jiang Qiu said.
Lu Ce took a breath and said, "You agreed?"
"Yes, otherwise how could you speak to me alive?" Jiang Qiu sat cross-legged in the carriage and rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.
Lu Ce stared at Jiang Qiu, an indescribable look flashed in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but ripple. He was deeply touched by her behavior, but what he said was: "You are quite generous."
"Get lost, and stop talking nonsense to me. We have to pay off our debt together in the future." Jiang Qiu said.
Lu Ce asked: "How much do you owe?"
"Seventy-eight taels, provided that we are penniless."
The situation was urgent at the time, and Jiang Qiu was afraid that the other party would be unwilling to pay, so she did not lower the price. Moreover, she personally felt that as long as the money could save a life, it would be worth it.
And Lu Ce was injured because of her.
Jiang Qiu felt really guilty in his heart. He looked at him for a long while and said shyly, "Thank you."
Lu Ce raised an eyebrow, and seeing how cute she was, his hand couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.
Jiang Qiu was frozen by his action.
Lu Ce also quickly withdrew his hand and said, "You should wash your hair."
"Lu! Ce!"
If he wasn't injured, Jiang Qiu would have wanted to punch him.
Lu Ce smiled cheekily.
Jiang Qiubai glanced at him and said, "I'll go tell mother and Mingyue that you're awake."
"Yeah." Lu Ce nodded.
The moment he left the carriage, Jiang Qiu began to doubt Jiang Rourou's character in the original novel, including Lu Ce's love for Jiang Rourou.
If he loved Jiang Rourou to the point of being crazy and willing to give his life for her, he should have kept it secret from her. Why would he tell her so openly?
Jiang Qiu really had a headache.
The situation changed so quickly that she didn't know how to believe what was in the original work.
Even though she was speechless about Jiang Rourou killing her, she couldn't take revenge based on her current abilities.
She is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She is the Fifth Prince's favorite.
There is also the admiration of various male supporting roles.
She is alone and can only look for opportunities in the future.
Hey--
Jiang Qiu sighed, and Qian was frightened and trembled.
"Qiu Niang, what happened to Ce'er? Wasn't he rescued?" Qian's voice was trembling.
"You're awake. I came to call you to go see him." Jiang Qiu said with a smile.
Qian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly carried Yaoer to see Lu Ce.
Lu Mingyue followed closely behind.
Only Lu Pandi followed her.
Jiang Qiu lowered his eyes to look at her, "Thank you for telling me the news about Zou Chengan today."
Lu Pandi shook her head: "This is what I should do."
Mingyue is the best person in the world to her, she just doesn't want to make Mingyue sad. As for whether Lu Ce is alive or not, it has little to do with her.
"But thank you anyway. From now on you will eat the same food as us." Jiang Qiu said.
Lu Pandi's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
That way Mingyue can eat more.
Mingyue needs to practice martial arts, which consumes a lot of energy. If she is always fed, she will not have enough strength. Now the problem has finally been solved.
