The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

In front of Xiao Haizhou, Zhao Mianmian naturally couldn't mention the big sword or anything like that.

She withdrew her hand calmly (but panicked to death), as if nothing had happened, and stared at the man on the bed for two seconds.

Two seconds later, his mouth curled up and his big round eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Xiao Haizhou thought Zhao Mianmian was going to cry and frowned subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, the little kid in front of him didn't cry or howl, but just had two bubbles of tears hanging down his face, and said aggrievedly:

"Yes, they said you can't do it."

When Xiao Haizhou heard this, he almost fainted from anger.

He gritted his teeth, and his already pale face was full of excitement:

"Who said I can't do it?"

Zhao Mianmian raised her head and pointed outside without blushing or beating her heart:

"Your secret guard."

"He said you were dying, so he pulled me out of bed in the middle of the night, hoping that I would give it a try!"

He is not good at anything and is the best at passing the buck.

In order to save his life, Zhao Mianmian didn't care about Lian Chuan at all. No matter who was at fault, he just wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with what she said.

It was indeed Lian Chuan who dug her out of bed in the middle of the night, and it was also Lian Chuan who said Xiao Haizhou was dying.

To round it off, she was telling the truth.

However, Zhao Mianmian dared to say it, but the man lying on the bed didn't dare to believe it.

Xiao Haizhou did not immediately go to Lian Chuan to verify, but looked at Zhao Mianmian's hands behind her back with suspicion, and asked a pointed question:

"Zhao Mianmian, what does this have to do with you putting your hand into my clothes?"

Zhao Mianmian's face flushed red, and it was unclear whether it was due to the embarrassment after being caught, or the shame of being obsessed with beauty at such a young age.

She paused, glanced at Xiao Haizhou out of the corner of her eye, and finally said hesitantly:

"If I say I just want to touch you and see if you're cold, would you believe me?"

Xiao Haizhou snorted coldly, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't.

He didn't even bother to look at Zhao Mianmian, and just whistled to call Lian Chuan.

Not long after, Zhao Mianmian was thrown out of the door by Lian Chuan and rolled twice in the yard before stopping.

According to convention, the young lady of the He family would definitely cry if she was thrown out like this.

But today, Zhao Mianmian was out of character. She didn't even say a word. After getting up from the ground, she covered her butt and disappeared into the dawn...

Not long after Zhao Mianmian left, Wang Yuan and Mr. Qiao from the Taifu Mansion appeared at the Huguo Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Mr. Qiao is a rare talent recruited by Xiao Haizhou. His medical skills are average, but he is good at using poison to detoxify.

After he arrived, he first checked Xiao Haizhou's injuries and then took his pulse.

In the end, Xie Chen said exactly the same words as Jie Li to his surprise.

"This is the poison of the strychnos nux vomica. It looks fierce, but it is very easy to cure. Just boil some mung bean soup and take it three times in a row, and it will be completely eliminated."

As Mr. Qiao spoke, he glanced at what Xie Chen was holding in his hand. His gaze changed from calm to suspicion, and finally to shock.

He asked what happened, then held Xie Chen's hand, his eyes full of excitement.

"Where did you find this miraculous doctor? He uses medicine so accurately. Can you let me see him?"

Xie Li felt guilty and did not agree to meet the person, but at this moment his trust in Zhao Mianmian reached its peak——

He really is worthy of being the leader of their Zhoutian Medical Sect!

With such accomplishments at such a young age, it seems that Zhou Tian Medical School will soon return to its peak! !

**

Zhao Mianmian offended Xiao Haizhou for a big sword.

Although he earned nearly 20,000 gold coins in total, he spent half a month in fear because he was worried that the Xuanlin Guards would discover his identity and come to arrest him.

All in all, it's really not worth it.

After Zhao Mianmian recovered completely, she made up her mind that she would never provoke Xiao Haizhou, the plague god, again! !

Time passed quickly. After Zhao Mianmian returned from worshipping Buddha with Old Madam He and Qin Shuyu, after a few days of peace and quiet, it was the twelfth lunar month.

Normally, when the twelfth lunar month comes, government offices should set the dates for the annual holidays.

But Madam He was looking forward to it for a long time, but what she got was a letter from He Shiqian.

The letter said that as the year was coming to an end and the Northwest Camp was busy with official business, he would not return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

The angry old lady fell ill that night and lay in bed groaning all night long.

"Tell me, tell me, isn't he just a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel? The Northwest Camp can't survive without him?"

"It's ok that he didn't take the half-month official leave during the year, but he didn't even come back for the New Year. Does he still want this family?!"

Qin Shuyu sat beside Madam He's bed, helping her calm down while explaining:

"Mother, please don't be angry. If you get angry, you might get sick and have trouble living for years."

"The child is grown up and has his own ideas. As elders, we can't say much."

"Besides, isn't Qian'er working so hard to bring glory to our He family? He is much better than those uneducated rich kids out there.

Logically, we should be happy! "

After hearing what Qin Shuyu said, the resentment in Old Madam He's heart dissipated a little.

But after thinking about it, she still felt that it was not a good thing for He Shiqian to stay away from home all the time, so she gave Qin Shuyu a few suggestions and asked her to put his marriage on the agenda as soon as possible.

Qin Shuyu's eyes flashed, and he agreed immediately, and then comforted his mother-in-law with a few words, and only then did the matter come to light.

Zhao Mianmian was also happy that He Shiqian didn't go home.

She was familiar with the temperaments of the other family members, and although she was living under someone else's roof, there was no risk of being exposed.

If He Shiqian came back unexpectedly, she would have to deal with him carefully and cautiously, and she might not even be able to celebrate the New Year well.

On the other hand, He Shiyun and He Shiyi seemed to have long been accustomed to He Shiqian's style of doing things.

The two nodded as if they understood, and turned around to go about their business and play, just like any other day.

Only He Xulan pouted her lips to express her disappointment, then went into the room without saying a word, and no one knew what she was busy with.

No one knew that everything that happened in the He family was seen by someone with ulterior motives, and then reported to the person in the Taifu Mansion as quickly as possible.

"Looking at the He family's behavior, it seems that they don't know what He Shiqian did in the northwest."

"He Zhaoxian was even furious because He Shiqian didn't come back for the New Year, and threatened to ask Lord Zhou from the Ministry of War to remove him from his position as Junior Supervisor of the Ministry of Personnel and transfer him to the Dali Temple."

Xiao Haizhou was still injured, but he managed to hold on for a few days without anyone noticing any flaws.

At this moment, the wound had split open again. While he was talking to Feng Chen, he had someone change the bandage on him.

After hearing Feng Chen's words, Xiao Haizhou's face flashed with a hint of teasing:

"He is dreaming. Does he think that the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Dali Temple are all owned by his He family?"

"Let's not talk about whether Zhou Renqian can transfer people back. Even if He Shiqian is transferred back to the capital, what's the point? He is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han. Isn't he going to get involved with Liang Yuanjing?"

Xie Chen knew about the little tricks Liang Yuanjing had played in the Northwest Camp. When he heard Xiao Haizhou mention the Prince of Ning, he quickly asked:

"This Prince of Ning is only eighteen years old, yet he has won over many young officials in the court. Would you like me to investigate his background?"

Xiao Haizhou changed the medicine, stood up, waved his hand, and asked the servant who changed the medicine to go out first.

After all the irrelevant people had left, he lowered his eyes and sneered:

"He's just a strange person, what's there to investigate?"

"He wants to rebel by some crooked means, but I don't know if Liang Yuanjing... has the ability to do that!!"
