Riding the Pheonix Chapter 619: Waiting for you
On Wen Xiuyi's side, they cleaned up the gang of thieves last night, but the boat was burned and sank. When they returned to the shore, they found that Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu were missing.
She jumped in anger: "I knew they were restless, so they took the opportunity to run away! Qing, where are they?"
Shi Qing's face looked ugly.
Because he discovered that his connection with the Gu insect was cut off.
What does this mean? Either the person dies or the Gu insect dies.
Will those two people die so easily? Shi Qing didn't believe it. Therefore, it can only be the second answer.
It turns out that they already have a way to deal with the poisonous insects, but they keep pretending to be controlled by others. They are really cunning!
As soon as he explained the situation, Wen Xiuyi was furious: "I told you before that I wanted to give them some pain, but you just wanted to stop them. It's good now, let them run away!"
The veins on Shi Qing's forehead throbbed: "Even if they get rid of the poisonous insects on their bodies, their injuries won't be able to recover for a while. Now that they have no power, they can't run very far. Let's search!"
This place is close to Yidu, so it naturally has the influence of the Tang family.
Wen Xiuyi contacted people from the Tang family and borrowed help to search the river.
At the same time, she got a message.
"The old lady is here too?"
The person in charge replied: "Yes, the old lady returned to her ancestral home from Kyoto and is now resting at Ma's house."
Wen Xiuyi turned around and said, "Ah Qing, since the old lady is here, we should go and see her according to etiquette."
Shi Qing was not interested at all and said: "You go ahead, I'll search for people."
Wen Xiuyi just asked casually. Shi Qing was willing to search for people, which made her feel more at ease.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you, I'll go to Ma's house to have a look."
"Yeah."
Wen Xiuyi changed her clothes, dressed up properly, and went to Majuan's house.
At dawn, Butler Ji came out to greet: "I've seen Miss Xiuyi."
Wen Xiuyi changed her dress and softened her voice, no different from that of a famous lady: "I heard that the old lady is here, so Xiuyi came here to pay her respects."
Butler Ji smiled and said: "Miss Xiuyi is interested. The old lady didn't sleep well last night and is not feeling well now. Miss Xiuyi, please wait for a while?"
Tang Shao was raised by Mrs. Tang and respected her grandmother very much. No one would be offended by Wen Xiuyi. Hearing what Butler Ji said, he asked, "Has the old lady relapsed?"
Butler Ji said yes.
Wen Xiuyi said: "Then I have to go take a look. I have made some medicine these days, maybe it can help the old lady calm down."
Butler Ji disagreed. This girl, Xiuyi, is a descendant of the witch sect. When the old lady first fell ill, she was invited to come and see her. Unfortunately, she couldn't figure out what was going on, and the medicine she used was all for sleeping. The old lady was asleep, but she still woke up when she was frightened.
"The old lady is drinking soothing herbal tea! Miss Xiuyi, wait a minute? We will set off immediately after the old lady recovers."
Although Wen Xiuyi was not happy, she could bear it after thinking that she would be traveling with the old lady when she set out, and would naturally see her when the time came.
But none of them expected that the wait would last until noon.
Butler Ji thought it would be over soon, but unexpectedly there was no movement inside.
When I went in and asked, I heard that Ming Wei used acupressure to help the old lady fall asleep. I frowned and regretted in my heart.
This girl... the old lady must have a kind heart and couldn't bear to reject her. She would have sent their cousins away first.
……
The sun was getting higher and Mrs. Tang was still sleeping peacefully in the room. Bai Ling couldn't help but look at Mingwei again and again.
It’s really strange. It’s been an hour and a half and the old lady hasn’t woken up yet. Is this girl right?
Time continues to pass.
After two hours passed, Bai Ling was completely convinced.
When Butler Ji came to ask, she went out to explain the situation in person.
Butler Ji was very surprised when he heard what she said, and said thoughtfully: "It sounds like this girl knows how to repay her kindness and acts prudently. If she can really cure the old lady's disease, then..."
But Bai Ling said: "She said this is just to alleviate the old lady's condition. To eradicate it, we have to find the crux. But the old lady's nightmare is not allowed to be known to outsiders..."
Butler Ji said: "It's hard to let outsiders know because those people can't be cured. How can we let people find out the secrets of the Tang family in vain? If she can be cured, for the sake of the old lady, the Duke and the others will agree." ”
Bailing, a maid, was not as senior as Butler Ji, so she asked: "Then we keep this girl?"
"Of course. Not only do you have to stay, but you also have to treat me like a distinguished guest."
While the two were talking, Wen Xiuyi came over.
She was impatient. She was kept waiting and was impatient.
Everyone knew that she was the second young master's junior sister, and the servants of the Tang family did not dare to stop her, so they just let her break into the inner courtyard.
"Who are you talking about? What girl?"
Seeing Wen Xiuyi come in, Butler Ji was unhappy: "Miss Xiuyi, don't you please wait for a while?"
Wen Xiuyi sneered: "If I really listened to you, today would be terrible. Tell me, who is that girl? What is her origin?"
Butler Ji has been following Mrs. Tang and is used to seeing Wen Xiuyi jealous. Whenever the old lady saw a lady from a certain family, she would think that she was there for the second young master, and would run out to cause trouble.
At this moment, Butler Ji also treated her like this, and replied in a stiff tone: "Don't think too much about it, this girl is just an insignificant person. I met her on the road and rescued her ~IndoMTL.com~ just to treat the old lady."
When Wen Xiuyi heard the words "rescued", she became more suspicious and asked: "Did you rescue her from the water? Last night? Does she look... pretty good?"
Hearing her ask about his appearance, Butler Ji no longer had any doubts and refused: "He is really an insignificant person, Miss Xiuyi, please stop being so troublesome."
Wen Xiuyi is really not messing around this time. She was impatient to argue with Butler Ji and turned around to rush in.
"Miss Xiuyi!" Butler Ji was annoyed and took a few steps in front of her, "This is the old lady's guest, you can't be rude!"
He was Mrs. Tang’s confidant and he was too old. Wen Xiuyi did not dare to push him and said angrily: "You are the ones who delayed me! This is my prisoner who escaped halfway! Go away and stay out of the way!"
Butler Ji doesn't care who is a prisoner or not. Wen Xiuyi doesn't have a good impression on him to begin with. Seeing that Mingwei may be able to cure Mrs. Tang's illness, how can he let her interfere? Now she blocked it more firmly and said: "Miss Xiuyi, if you have anything to do, wait until the old lady wakes up, okay? The old lady finally had a good sleep, what will you do if you wake her up?"
If it were anything else, Wen Xiuyi would have tolerated it, but Mingwei had ruined her plans time and time again. He finally caught her and let her escape. How could she let him go?
She said: "The most dangerous thing is for you to let her stay with the old lady! Aren't you afraid of what she will do to the old lady?"
When she said this, both Butler Ji and Bai Ling hesitated.
No way? That girl doesn’t look like a villain!
However, evil people don’t have it written on their faces, right?
Just when they were in trouble, Mingwei's leisurely voice came from behind: "Miss Wen? You are here too!"
