Chapter 185: Chapter 185. Who Are You?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“There’s no need to repay me. Remember my words!”
Ji Shuisheng especially instructed Luan Hong, afraid that Luan Zhizhou would investigate this courtyard and be silenced by Wan Shengchang.
“Oh.”
Luan Hong replied absent-mindedly when she heard Ji Shuisheng’s words. She felt that her father was Zhizhou. Who in Luo City could be as important as her father?
She couldn’t take this lying down. She had to get her father to arrest them so they wouldn’t harm other girls.
” It was the Prime Minister who captured you. A mere Zhizhou (Governor) is nothing more than an ant in the Prime Minister’s eyes.”
Seeing Luan Hong’s indignant eyes, Ji Shuisheng felt this was a girl with an idea, so he might as well make it clear to her.
Hearing that the Prime Minister had captured her, Luan Hong felt afraid and took Ji Shuisheng’s words seriously.
When Su Qing returned, the girls had already been released.
Ji Shuisheng told them to tidy themselves up and not go out with messy hair to avoid damaging their reputation. He did not let them go out together and let them out one by one.
Luan Hong was the last to go. Before she left, she handed Ji Shuisheng a jade pendant.
“Thank you for saving me. Take this jade pendant and come to the Zhizhou Mansion to find me if you need anything.”
“No need.”
Ji Shuisheng did not take the jade pendant or want to have more contact with Luan Hong.
Luan Hong admired him even more because Ji Shuisheng did not ask for anything in return. She gave Ji Shuisheng a wish and said,
“Thank you, benefactor. See you again.”
“Go. A long night is a dream. Go home quickly.”
Ji Shuisheng waved his hand. Su Qing would be back soon. He couldn’t let Luan Hong see Su Qing’s face.
Su Qing came back with a new set of men’s clothing. She saw the girls coming out of the alley one after another. They all looked terrified and looked around as if they were being hunted.
Su Qing didn’t rush over. After the girls left, she saw Luan Hong hurriedly come out of the alley in men’s clothes.
This was a rotten peach blossom. Su Qing turned her face away.
After Luan Hong was frightened out of the alley, she hurriedly ran home. How could she still have the mood to find the little brother she liked?
Luan Hong had just walked out when she met Yang Zhi, who had brought his bodyguards to help look for her.
Luan Hong often dressed as a man and sneaked out to play. When he saw Luan Hong dressed as a man, Yang Zhi recognized her at a glance and quickly came over. Yang Zhi had seen her several times.
“Lady Luan.”
“Head Yang, please send me back to the Zhizhou Mansion.”
Seeing Yang Zhi, Luan Hong seemed to have found her savior and asked him to return her to the residence.
Yang Zhi saw Miss Luan’s terrified expression and asked,
“Miss Luan, don’t be afraid. Tell me who took you away.”
“No one took me away.”
Luan Hong remembered Ji Shuisheng’s words and shook her head at Yang Zhi. Seeing this, Yang Zhi did not ask any more questions and brought people to escort her back to the Zhizhou Mansion.
Su Qing had been watching them. She was relieved Luan Hong did not bring Yang Zhi and the others to the alley.
When they were far away, Su Qing returned to the small courtyard and saw that Ji Shuisheng had already cleaned up the yard. When he heard the door open, he looked over warily. When he saw that it was Su Qing, he let down his guard.
“Change his clothes. We have to leave this place quickly!”
Su Qing handed the clothes she bought to Ji Shuisheng and jumped onto the wall to observe the situation outside.
Ji Shuisheng changed Wan Yuxiang into the ordinary clothes Su Qing had bought for him, then burned his original clothes and threw them into the dry well.
Wan Yuxiang was like a fool the entire time, at Ji Shuisheng’s mercy!
“Let’s go!”
Ji Shuisheng changed Wan Yuxiang’s clothes and told Su Qing to leave!
Wan Yuxiang followed behind them like a child. They didn’t even need to watch over him!
After leaving the alley smoothly, Su Qing still had to make a trip to the Su residence. She said to Ji Shuisheng,
“Take him and leave first. I’ll go and do something. After that, I’ll chase after you!”
“Alright, be careful!”
Ji Shuisheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing. It was not convenient to bring Wan Yuxiang to the Su residence.
“This is the antidote. After eating it, he will return to normal. You can handle it yourself!”
Su Qing took out an antidote and gave it to Ji Shuisheng. She was smart enough to guess Ji Shuisheng’s thoughts when he decided to keep Wan Yuxiang!
Ji Shuisheng took the antidote and looked at Su Qing in surprise. He did not expect her to guess his thoughts. She was too bright. Fortunately, she was one of them and not an enemy. He nodded and put the antidote away. He thanked Su Qing,
“Thank you!”
Su Qing glanced at him. He was not used to being so polite all of a sudden!
As the two spoke, they saw a green carriage with a black awning rushing towards them!
Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing stared at the carriage. They did not know if it was to receive or to capture the girls again! They watched as the carriage headed towards the alley.
“Let’s go!”
Ji Shuisheng whispered to Su Qing, and they left in the opposite direction!
In the small courtyard, two vigorous men with cold and stern faces exited the carriage and knocked on the door four times. Three long and one short was the secret signal they had agreed on.
The two of them waited quietly after knocking on the door. After waiting for a while, no one came to open the door. They frowned impatiently and hit harder. The door suddenly opened a tiny crack!
They felt something was wrong and hurriedly pushed the door open to enter the courtyard.
There was no one in the courtyard. The two of them went into the house to check. One went to the secret passage behind the fake mountain rock to check!
“No one!”
“No one!”
“Something happened!” The two of them returned with solemn expressions.
Su Qing ignored these people and went straight to the Su residence after separating from Ji Shuisheng!
Unlike Ji Shuisheng, she didn’t buy gifts. Getting free medical treatment was already her best gift!
She knocked on the door and waited!
Soon, the gatekeeper came out and asked Su Qing politely,
“Who is Young Master looking for?”
“Second Master Su!”
“Young Master, what is your name?”
“Su!”
Su Qing replied, and the gatekeeper told her to wait for a while before reporting.
Su Qing was getting impatient from waiting. It was troublesome! The courtyards of wealthy families were relatively few, and it took half a day to come and go.
She wondered why she was so free to take the initiative to treat someone just because of two boxes of golden silk cakes.
Soon, the gatekeeper came out and politely invited Su Qing in. “My Second Master invites the Young Master in!”
Su Qing nodded and followed the gatekeeper into the Su residence. The overall decoration of the Su residence was very grand, simple, and elegant. The pavilions were unique, and it was the style that Su Qing liked!
The gatekeeper brought Su Qing to the guest room, and Su Hanxuan came out to greet Su Qing.
“Brother Su, Brother Ji went to look for you just now. I wonder if he found you?”
” I found him. He has something to do and has to return to the fabric shop. I heard that Madam is sick. I know a little about medicine. If Second Master Su doesn’t mind, I’ll help take a look at her!”
Su Qing nodded. She directly stated her purpose for coming! She didn’t have time to waste and didn’t exchange pleasantries.
Although Su Hanxuan didn’t believe Su Qing had any brilliant medical skills, he had always been considerate and didn’t refuse. Instead, he smiled and cupped his fists.
“Thank you, Brother Su!”
“Father!”
The sweet voice attracted Su Qing’s attention!
She saw a baby wearing pink clothes with two little pinky pins running into the Green Bamboo Pavilion with his short legs!
The child was too cute. He was milky white, like a porcelain doll.
Xiao Chen stopped when he saw Su Qing. He looked up at her curiously with his big black eyes and asked cutely,
“Who are you?”
