"Ahem!" Zhao Huaining coughed lightly to cover up Sisi's embarrassment after being confronted, "Aren't we both poisoned by the love flower? We survived together, so how can we not be considered to be in the same boat?"
The moment Su Zhiqiu heard about the love flower poison, the scene of Zhao Huaining flirting with her appeared in front of her eyes. Her cheeks suddenly turned red and she clenched her pink circle, slowly saying: "You'd better keep this to yourself, otherwise, I can't guarantee that your mouth won't rot!!!"
Zhao Huaining looked at Su Zhiqiu very seriously and said: "Are you sure you are here to visit me? I'm a patient, and my condition will get worse if you chat like this."
"What does it have to do with me if my condition gets worse?" Su Zhiqiu said coldly. Zhao Huaining
smiled and said: "I'm very timid and can't stand being scared. If you threaten me, I might faint the next moment."
Su Zhiqiu remained silent. She studied medicine, so how could she not know that anger can hurt the body? But Zhao Huaining's smiling face didn't look like he was scared.
"Are you timid? You may have some misunderstanding about yourself." Su Zhiqiu said, looking directly into Zhao Huaining's eyes, "A timid person will not set foot on Fengjue Mountain. I admit that I misjudged you before, but you and I are not interfering with each other. As long as you keep your mouth shut about my affairs, we can still live in peace."
"Are you threatening me again?" Zhao Huaining smiled, "Forget it, since you saved me, I promise to keep everything I know to myself."
Su Zhiqiu was a little stunned when she heard this, perhaps she didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
"In fact, if you don't threaten me, I won't tell others." Zhao Huaining stretched his arms and said, he felt uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, "Don't worry, I Zhao Huaining is not a gossipy person."
Su Zhiqiu saw that the other party was showing goodwill, his face eased a little, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't tell others that you know kung fu."
"I know kung fu?" Zhao Huaining was surprised. When she met Su Zhiqiu, she was so weak that she couldn't stand up. How did the other party know?
Su Zhiqiu saw the other person's expression, but she didn't intend to explain it to the other person.
Zhao Huaining raised his eyebrows: "So, you didn't come here today to see how I'm doing, but to warn me?"
"On the one hand, on the other hand, I came to congratulate you on your engagement. Speaking of which, my sister is very worried about your health now, and she hopes you get better soon."
Zhao Huaining sneered when he heard it: "Oh, the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken! She is not worried about my health, she is afraid that she will marry a disabled person."
Su Zhiqiu's face flashed a trace of surprise when she heard it. How could Zhao Huaining know her sister's thoughts so well at this time.
"I saw you often around my sister in the academy. Why are you saying this now?"
Zhao Huaining saw Su Zhiqiu's confusion and then remembered that this should not be Zhao Huaining's reaction in the book.
"Oh, what I meant was that if she was worried about me, why didn't she come to see me herself? Not coming in person shows that her heart is not sincere."
Su Zhiqiu's face returned to a cold look after hearing this.
"She's engaged to you, so it's inconvenient for her to come." Su Zhiqiu stood up and said, "Take care of yourself. I should leave now." Zhao Huaining
saw that the person was about to leave, thinking that this was the first person she had seen in the book, and today should be the last time they met, so she quickly grabbed the other person's wrist: "Hey, wait a minute, I have something to say. You will be angry now, but I hope you remember it in your heart. Your master Nan Mingzi will harm you. He is used to using people's hearts to extort money for other purposes. You have to be careful and don't fall into his trap."
Su Zhiqiu was already unhappy that the other party pulled her wrist, and she was even more unhappy when she heard the words. She raised her hand and grabbed Zhao Huaining's collar. Just as she was about to speak, she heard something fall to the ground with a crisp sound. Just as she lowered her eyes to look, the sound of the door curtain sounded behind her.
Zhao Huaining was almost sticking to Su Zhiqiu. When she heard the sound, her body and head did not move, but her eyes looked at the door. She saw Chen Leyan holding a snack in one hand and holding the door curtain with the other hand, standing at the door, looking at them in shock! ! !
Chen Leyan.....! ! !
"Mother." Zhao Huaining spoke in a passive posture.
"Well, you guys continue, continue." Chen Leyan said and was about to go out.
Su Zhiqiu was embarrassed and came back to her senses first. She blushed and quickly let go of Zhao Huaining and said, "Teacher."
Chen Leyan stopped and turned around slowly. She was shocked. She looked at her daughter and Su Zhiqiu. After a while, she calmed herself down and was instantly happy.
"Hey, I'll bring you some snacks. Zhiqiu, come, come and sit down." Chen Leyan walked forward and put down the snacks. "Well, you guys continue, continue chatting, I'll make some tea for you." Su Zhiqiu
hurriedly said, "Teacher, don't bother, I'm just about to say goodbye."
"Oh, why are you saying goodbye? It's so hard to come to the teacher's house. How can I leave without having dinner?" Chen Leyan said, pulling Su Zhiqiu to sit down, "I've asked the kitchen to prepare it. You can't leave now. You guys continue chatting, continue chatting." After
Chen Leyan said this, she left with a look back every two steps. As soon as she left her daughter's yard, she lifted her skirt and ran quickly to her own yard. The maids on the road stopped and were surprised.
"Zhen Niang!" Chen Leyan pushed open the door and walked quickly to Zhao Yuzhen who was looking at the account book.
Zhao Yuzhen put down the account book, stood up and said for Chen Leyan: "What's wrong? Is there a wolf in the house?"
"I'm not in the mood to listen to your jokes." Chen Leyan slapped Zhao Yuzhen's hand away, "Guess what I saw when I entered my daughter's room?"
Zhao Yuzhen thought something had happened, but when he heard about his daughter, he sat back: "Isn't it your student who came to visit Huaining?"
"Yes, but I saw my daughter holding Zhiqiu's hand, and the two seemed to be entangled in something. Do you think you lied about military intelligence? My daughter actually likes Zhiqiu, not Su Wanqing."
Zhao Yuzhen was immediately displeased when he heard it: "Why are you holding someone's hand? Can you do whatever you want when you are sick?"
"Tsk, why do you react differently from me? Shouldn't this be a happy thing?"
Zhao Yuzhen looked up at Chen Leyan and said very seriously: "Yan Niang, Huaining is hanging around the second lady of the Su family in the academy, but secretly holding the hand of the eldest lady of the Su family. Who does she think she is to dare to provoke the two daughters of Su Zhubu at the same time? It's because she is sick, otherwise I would beat her up!!!"
"You're here again!" Chen Leyan was unhappy. "I think it's good. If Zhiqiu and Huaining are both interested, I will promote this marriage. Didn't Su Zhubu ask you for a lot of money? At most, double it for their family."
"It's not the same thing. I gave him money and grain to solve the rice warehouse problem, and he allocated the land of North Street to me to build a restaurant. How can this matter be related to my daughter's marriage." Zhao Yuzhen saw that Chen Leyan was getting more and more unhappy after speaking, so he said: "I didn't say I didn't support your idea. We originally agreed to wait for Su Zhubu to come back and ask clearly."
"It's too late now. Zhiqiu is also engaged. It's not easy to change it back." Chen Leyan rubbed her temples. Zhao Yuzhen
heard the words and comforted: "Everything depends on human efforts. Although he is an official and I am a businessman, I will not let others bully me. When he comes back, I will call the matchmaker and he will give me an explanation." On
the other side, the two people who were caught by Chen Leyan in intimate behavior looked at each other. Su Zhiqiu stared at Zhao Huaining, and she felt that the other party was intentional.
Zhao Huaining wanted to apologize, but he couldn't help laughing when he thought of Chen Leyan's happy expression. Chen Leyan was probably the only one in the world who would be so happy when seeing such a scene.
"Zhao Huaining!" Su Zhiqiu saw that the other party was laughing, and the whole person became colder, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Zhao Huaining stopped laughing and said, "I'm sorry, I just thought my mother was so cute. As for being caught by my mother, it's not my fault, because you were the one who pulled my clothes."
Su Zhiqiu had a cold face. No matter how embarrassed and angry she was, she couldn't deny that she was the one who did it just now. She could only explain it to the teacher during dinner.
After thinking about it, Su Zhiqiu bent down to pick up the things that fell on the ground, handed them to Zhao Huaining and said, "A gentleman never talks about people behind their backs. You said this about my master, I think you have evidence?"
Zhao Huaining stared at Su Zhiqiu's hand holding the lotus pendant, and was shocked. He stared at it for a long time before taking the lotus pendant in his hand. She rubbed the lotus pendant with both hands nervously. Although she was not the daughter of Zhao Yuzhen and Chen Leyan, she couldn't help but think about them at this time. At this time, Su Zhiqiu still didn't know the secret of the lotus pendant. But after she found out, should she come to get it herself or tell her master Nan Mingzi?
"I don't have any evidence!"
Su Zhiqiu said, "It's better not to speak about things without evidence."
"I'm telling you the truth from the bottom of my heart. If you listen to me, it'll be great. If you don't, we can only say that everyone has their own destiny and you can't force it."
Su Zhiqiu didn't want to stay any longer after hearing that. When she was leaving, she saw the treasure in Zhao Huaining's hand and smelled a faint fragrance, so she said, "Is this the famous lotus pendant of your Zhao family? I remember last year, at the Huaiyin Treasure Appraisal Competition, your cousin invited this lotus pendant to compete and won the first prize." Zhao
Huaining listened quietly. In fact, the book didn't focus much on the Zhao family's affairs. The existence of the Zhao family was just cannon fodder. If it wasn't for explaining that Su Wanqing used all the wealth of the Zhao family that she had cheated to support the rebels, she thought the author probably wouldn't even mention the Zhao family. Although they are people in the book, the main storyline is not on this small character. While telling the story of the protagonist, the author will never mention what happened to the small person at the same time.
"Does everyone in Huaiyin know that my family has this lotus pendant?"
Su Zhiqiu said calmly, "Of course, it was a sensation last year."
....... Doesn't that mean everyone knows it?
Zhao Huaining sighed and rubbed the lotus pendant as if he was holding a hot potato. It seems that the Zhao family doesn't know the secret of the lotus pendant, otherwise they wouldn't have taken it to the competition.
In any case, if this well-known lotus pendant continues to stay in the Zhao family, it will be remembered by everyone who knows the secret of the lotus pendant. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. The book says that Su Zhiqiu and his master Nan Mingzi finally collected thirteen lotus pendants. It's better to give it to Su Zhiqiu now.
However, this thing was given by the old lady to her granddaughter, and she, a fake, doesn't seem to have the right to decide to give it away.
"Miss Su." Zhao Huaining put away his joking face. "At present, there are external and internal troubles. Both the court and the rebels are short of money. Merchants are lambs to be slaughtered. If my family has what you want in the future, can you... spare the lives of my family?"
"What are you talking about?" Su Zhiqiu frowned. "How can I, Su Zhiqiu, be a thief?"
Zhao Huaining saw that the other party was a little annoyed, and hurriedly said, "Miss, of course I am not. I am just asking you to help me if something happens to my family." Su Zhiqiu had
a bad premonition when she heard it: "Why do you sound like you are explaining your affairs after death?"
"Yes, I am explaining my affairs after death. Please leave everything to you. Oh, by the way, please go back and tell Su Wanqing that I am dying and ask her to cancel the engagement quickly!!"
Su Zhiqiu was surprised. If she said that the other party's personality had changed, she could think that she didn't know Zhao Huaining before, but if she said that the other party wanted to cancel the engagement with her sister, then she had to doubt whether the person in front of her was Zhao Huaining.
"Who are you?" Su Zhiqiu stepped forward, slightly bent over and stared into Zhao Huaining's eyes.
....Zhao Huaining tensed up. Is Su Zhiqiu so smart? If she is so smart, how could she be deceived by her master Nan Mingzi?
"Um... do you want to get up first? My mother..." Zhao Huaining pointed to the door, "She's here again."
Su Zhiqiu heard footsteps and was about to get up when the door curtain opened.
"Tea is here!" Chen Leyan lifted the door curtain and was stunned for a moment.
From her perspective, it was clearly Su Zhiqiu bending over to kiss...her daughter? ? ? ? This was even more exciting than before! ! !
"Are you...kissing each other? ? ? "Chen Leyan's hand was shaking as she held the tea!
"Teacher... no." Su Zhiqiu's face was already red. She had never been so humiliated and disrespectful since she was a child. Why did she make a fool of herself when she met Zhao Huaining? "Teacher, you misunderstood..." "
Oh, oh, well, no need to explain, no need to explain, just leave it to me and your teacher's wife Zhao." Chen Leyan said, not bothering to put down the tea, and left in a hurry.
....
Su Zhiqiu bit her lower lip lightly, her face was more vivid than when she was poisoned by the love flower. She slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Huaining sitting on the bed.
Zhao Huaining instinctively moved back, help, why did she do nothing, but had to endure the knife-like gaze.
