Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 866: Unromantic Fellow Villager (1) + (2)

Little Yining looked at the little sister who came in with surprise.

Cui Zhiyao lowered her hood to shield herself from the wind and snow, and after having the servant bring in a bag of rice, she looked at the child sitting at the counter in surprise, "Sister Princess, why are you here?"

The little kid raised the jar in his arms and responded, "Sister Cui, I'm going to buy some pills from Brother Wenyuan."

"Why is Princess still taking medicine? Didn't my uncle say that in just one year, your body will be as healthy as other children?"

Cui Zhiyao walked forward in confusion, staring at the medicine jar that was almost as big as the kid's face, then looked at "Shangguan Wenyuan" who was wrapping the medicine silently, waiting for his explanation.

Shangguan Wenyuan simply glanced at her and pretended to be ignorant, saying, "Master, take the rice back. I don't need it."

Upon hearing this, the little sister forgot about the little boy and anxiously asked, "How can you not be in need? I heard from my maid that you have been going to the city gate to provide free medical treatment to the people of Qingxue these days, and then asking the Iron Eagle Guard for a bowl of porridge."

"Wenyuan, although my father won't let me see you, if you have any difficulties, you can write to my father and he will help you. You are also his disciple."

As she spoke, she held Shangguan Wenyuan's hand, which was holding the medicine, and said uncomfortably, "Don't stop associating with me just because you're angry with my father. My father said that my uncle is missing and it involves so many things. He...he can't do anything about it."

The background board on the side - Xiao Yining opened his mouth slightly and praised sincerely in his heart: Cui Zhiyao is really a good uncle who loves the younger generation!

She glanced at another background figure - "Doctor Zhao" out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that he was also looking at the uncle and nephew with interest, she turned her gaze back.

At this moment, the fellow villager had already withdrawn his hand and continued to drive him away coldly: "Uncle Master, we have different beliefs. You really shouldn't be associating with me. Take your rice and go back!"

Cui Zhiyao suddenly became anxious: "Wenyuan, what nonsense are you talking about? We are from the same school..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by "Shangguan Wenyuan" in a cold voice: "Uncle Master, I am a doctor in the pharmacy, and you are a daughter of an aristocratic family. Even if we both studied medicine, we cannot be treated on the same level. For example, just now you called my free clinic at the city gate begging for food. You can't see my good deeds, you are so narrow-minded, and you even humiliated me with rice."

The little girl turned pale and tried to defend herself, but the boy opposite her was too lazy to talk to her. He looked at the middle-aged man who was watching the show and said, "Take the ephedra away."

"Zhao Langzhong" curled the corners of his mouth, walked forward, put the medicine in his arms, and sat back in his seat.

"Young man, a girl braved the wind and snow to come see you, so don't say such harsh words. You've made her cry."

"Wenyuan, I don't mean to humiliate you, I just, just..." Cui Zhiyao explained helplessly.

Xiao Yining quickly came to her rescue: "I know, it's called being too concerned. Brother Wenyuan, Sister Cui must not have heard the news about you clearly, so she came here. She cares about you."

Shangguan Wenyuan glanced at her helplessly, and said in a slightly slower tone, "No need, Uncle Master, please go back quickly! Don't let Master Cui worry."

After being driven away three times in a row, Cui Zhiyao looked embarrassed and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and began to drip down.

She stammered "I'm sorry" and ordered someone to move the bag of rice out.

Then she said to "Shangguan Wenyuan," "Wenyuan, I'm not as good as you. When I was studying at the Women's School, I could only go to Shouyaotang after school to learn medical skills from the female doctor for an hour and a half. It will take a long time for me to become a master. When I have learned it, I will go to you every ten-day holiday to provide free medical treatment and save the world."

Xiao Yining's mouth was already opened into an "O" shape, and she secretly complained in her heart: If "Shangguan Wenyuan" was not pretended to be her fellow villager, she would be very touched at this moment.

She couldn't help but open the medicine jar, take out a pill, and gnaw on it while watching the show.

However, what the little kid didn't expect was that just as the fellow villager's expression turned impatient, "Doctor Zhao", who was also watching the show, interrupted and asked, "Little girl, do you go to Shouyaotang to learn medicine every day?"

Shangguan Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why are you asking this? Grab your things and leave quickly."

"Doctor Shangguan, please don't chase me away! It's snowing so heavily, I have to wait until it stops before I leave." The middle-aged man replied nonchalantly, but his eyes were always fixed on Cui Zhiyao, waiting for her response.

Hearing the voice, Cui Zhiyao frowned and looked at the man who was speaking. Although she felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, she still nodded in response.

Zhao Langzhong's eyes slowly scanned the young man's face. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he asked again, "You can't just randomly learn medicine. Little girl, who did you choose as your teacher at Shouyaotang?"

"Old man, I haven't become a disciple yet, and the female doctors at Shouyaotang are unwilling to tell me their names. They just come to give me guidance when they see that I am confused." Cui Zhiyao replied truthfully.

A gleam of light flashed in "Zhao Langzhong's" eyes. He wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the little kid's words.

Xiao Yining keenly sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted, "Sister Cui, don't talk to this uncle. He is a bad guy."

Cui Zhiyao turned around in shock, and heard the little boy complaining angrily: "Brother Wenyuan has gone out to beg for food, and he didn't even give me money for the medicine."

"Zhao Langzhong": ...

Shangguan Wenyuan glanced at the middle-aged man with a hint of disdain, as if blaming him for revealing his true identity, and quickly said to him, "Princess Le'an, Zhao Langzhong and I are on a monthly basis, and he hasn't refused to pay me."

Little Yining looked suspicious and asked pointedly, "Really? I remember the thief who stole the medicine from Shouyaotang also took the medicine without paying the silver. The doctor said she would give it to him after he went to jail."

After saying that, she glared at "Zhao Langzhong" angrily, as if he was a medicine thief.

Cui Zhiyao also echoed: "Sister Princess, I have met this old man before. Wenyuan even gave him a note for you. I mentioned it before, have you forgotten?"

Xiao Yining: (?7?5_?7?5), why doesn’t this sister play by the rules? She hasn’t even asked about this matter!

Shangguan Wenyuan was already displeased and retorted, "Cui Zhiyao, when did I ever give Zhao Langzhong a note?"

The little kid received the message, blinked his confused eyes, looked at his fellow villager, then looked at "Zhao Langzhong", and asked in confusion: "Brother Wenyuan, when did I give you the note?"

At this moment, "Shangguan Wenyuan" was already winking at "Zhao Langzhong".

"Zhao Langzhong"'s gaze moved between the three little ones, and a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

However, before he could think about it, the kid, after questioning the young man to no avail, actually struggled to jump off the high stool, ran up to him, put his hands on his hips and asked, "What note did you take from me? Return it to me quickly, or I will call the Dali Temple to arrest you."

"Zhao Langzhong": ...

"Princess, I have never taken anything from you." The middle-aged man replied speechlessly.

"You're talking nonsense. Sister Cui wouldn't lie to me."

Little Yining had perfectly imitated the naughty child's behavior. As soon as the words fell, she immediately ran to the door and shouted at her carriage, "Hurry up and help me..."

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenyuan hurriedly carried the child away from the door and said, "Zhao Langzhong, go back quickly."

"Zhao Langzhong" saw several guards approaching, responded quickly, and limped out. Soon, his figure disappeared in the heavy snow.

Cui Zhiyao hurried to the door, following the hurriedly departing figure with a look of disapproval in her eyes.

"Sister Princess, why are you more willful today than before?"

Xiao Yining: →_→, if you are not being willful, why are you chasing people away? Are you waiting for some tricks?

The kid turned his head away and swallowed his good intentions.

Shangguan Wenyuan seemed extremely impatient, his tone filled with malice: "Cui Zhiyao, I've already made it clear that you shouldn't come here. Your father even stopped you. Why did you come here today? Aren't you just being willful and self-righteous?"

"Wenyuan, you were never mean to me before, and you were always very nice to me." Cui Zhiyao found it hard to accept for a moment.

"Shangguan Wenyuan" didn't even want to look at her. He picked up the child and went back to the counter, sending her away for the fourth time that day: "I am not Shangguan Wenyuan. Take all that useless kindness with you and don't ever come back."

Xiao Yining couldn't help but pull her fellow villager's sleeve to remind him not to be so fierce. She looked at Cui Zhiyao, who was already in tears, and just as she opened her mouth to call out "Sister Cui", she saw her covering her face and running away.

She couldn't help but mutter, "Brother Wenyuan, you pissed Sister Cui off!"

Shangguan Wenyuan replied nonchalantly, "Such a self-righteous fool, if he stays here, he might even cause me trouble."

After he finished speaking, a hint of worry flashed across his face, and he whispered to the little kid, "I previously told Zhao Langzhong that there was something amiss in Shouyaotang. With Cui Zhiyao's gossip today, I wonder if the person behind the scenes will become suspicious."

"what?"

Xiao Yining finally realized what the note his fellow villager had given to the middle-aged man was, and then he also showed a worried expression like him.

The boy was amused by the little girl's sad face, and when he saw that her lips were stained by the stomachic pills, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully.

This scene was reflected deeply in Cui Zhiyao's eyes through the open door. She lowered her eyes sadly, "When did Wenyuan become so close to the princess's sister? He actually wants to draw a clear line between us."

The carriage slowly started moving. Mo Hua, a maidservant beside her, lowered the curtains to block out everything outside and advised, "Young lady, the master has long disliked your association with Young Master Shangguan. Your statuses are vastly different, and you risked your life to protect him last time, yet he didn't repay your kindness and even spoke harshly to you. It's time for you to sever this ties of friendship."

Another maid, Mo Qi, had a different opinion: "Perhaps Princess Le'an took credit for the deed, leading Master Wenyuan to mistakenly believe she saved him. Young lady, don't forget that you asked Princess Le'an to give the beggar money, and then Scholar Lin and Young Master Wang happened to appear on the official road and accidentally saved you."

Cui Zhiyao's mind flashed with the scene in Miaozhen Hall. A hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, but she still shook her head: "Don't say anything, the princess's sister is still young, it's inevitable that she will say the wrong thing."

The carriage fell into silence at these words.

I don't know how long it took, but the carriage stopped without any warning.

The master, servant and three others in the car looked at each other, feeling uneasy. They were about to ask about the situation outside, but for some reason their minds suddenly went blank and their eyes were blank.

At the same time, the curtain in front of the car that was blocking the wind and snow was suddenly lifted up, and a biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed into the car.

The "Zhao Langzhong" who had originally left suddenly appeared in front of the three people, but these three people were not surprised at all, and there was not even any expression on their faces, as if they had not seen this person at all.

Then, a hoarse voice sounded in the car, "Cui Zhiyao, follow me."

"Yes."

Two figures, one big and one small, slowly walked out of the carriage, gradually moving farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurred, and finally disappearing in the snow and fog.

Only the Cui family's carriage and servants were left standing stiffly on the empty street, and no one knew when things would return to normal.

On the other side, Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage provided by Chunmanlou and driving towards Miaozhen Hall. Suddenly, the driver's surprised voice came from outside.

"Oh, what a sin! Whose girl was driven out? She's walking in the snow. Don't let her get frozen to death."

Jiang Li opened the car curtain and saw a little girl about her own size not far away, turning stiffly towards the alley entrance. She felt strange and said quickly, "Uncle, let's go see what's going on."

Unexpectedly, the driver rejected this suggestion and said earnestly, "That won't do, little girl. This is Yanjing. If you meddle in other people's affairs, one careless move could bring disaster to your entire family. I've lived in Yanjing for so many years, and I've seen countless people suffer misfortune because of their kindness. Now that Miaozhen Hall only has two children, you and Doctor Shangguan, it's best not to cause trouble for yourselves. The most important thing is that they grow up safely."

Jiang Li stared at the figure disappearing at the alley entrance. The disgusted face of "Shangguan Wenyuan" flashed through his mind. He hesitated for a moment, and finally did not insist.

The wind and snow continued, and the entire street was empty, with only the "crunching" sound of carriages rolling over the snow.

Royal Palace

Wang and Lin finally came before the emperor through the secret passage. They both knelt on the ground, waiting for his orders after he finished reading the list.

Sheng Jingchen glanced at the list expressionlessly, sneered, and threw the note back in front of the two people: "I have a copy of this list in my hand. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Wang and Lin looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look.

Lin Yuzan took out a blueprint from his arms, stood up and placed it on the dragon table, then knelt down again.

He said, "I think Your Majesty also knows that Leng Meng'an is not Leng Meng'an."

Pei Dafu, who was standing by, took a curious glance at it and was immediately shocked. This picture was extremely similar to the one his master had hidden in the secret compartment.

The emperor glanced down at the blueprint and immediately understood its meaning. He then raised his eyes coldly and stared at the two boys on the ground, "You want me to execute Leng Meng'an."

"Uncle, Leng Meng'an committed arson and caused the destruction of South Street. According to the law, she should have been executed by slow slicing long ago." Wang Cheng looked up and said.

Sheng Jingchen sighed, a trace of helplessness on his face: "Of course I know, but unfortunately her surname is Leng. I cannot disobey the order of the late emperor."

Lin Yuzan looked at the emperor with a determined gaze. "If Leng Meng'an voluntarily gives up her surname, and Your Majesty executes her, can I use my accumulated merits to make a request?"

Sheng Jingchen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and stared at the boy on the ground with interest: "Speak first."

Lin Yuzan took a deep breath and said without hesitation, "I beg Your Majesty to personally execute Leng Meng'an."
