Chapter 135 Zhu Jingxing's Re-emphasis
“The reason why I loaned the city guards to the Lin family is because Lin Shan took the token of the Lin family’s patriarch.
I have already found out that Lin Xiaotian, the head of the Lin family, has also come to Changzhou. On the day you killed Lin Qianqian, he was waiting for Lin Qianqian's visit at Zhulin Temple.
Although Lin Qianqian is Lin Xiaotian's daughter who has been stranded outside, she is a chess piece that the Lin family has determined to place on the chessboard. Now that the chess piece has been destroyed, the Lin family will definitely not let things go.
The prime minister, the emperor's father-in-law, the head of the Lin family... Lin Xiaotian, such a powerful man, came to pick up Lin Qianqian in person, but greeted a corpse. Do you think he will let it go? What if he..."
Before Zhu Jingxing finished speaking, Luo Xiaoran interrupted him with a resolute look:
"I went to kill Lin Qianqian. Of course, I made a deal with you, but the most important thing is that since I used Zhu Jingshu's body, I have to do something for her. This is my unchanging intention.
Therefore, Lin Qianqian, as the murderer of Zhu Jingshu, must die, and this result will not change just because she has a good father. "
Seeing Zhu Jingxing's face full of forbearance and hesitation, Luo Xiaoran suddenly became a little irritated, and her tone became higher:
"You don't need to repeatedly emphasize Lin Xiaotian's power in front of me. I was the one who killed Lin Qianqian, and if he wants revenge, he should look for me. As long as you keep our promise, I won't sell you out."
"That's not what I meant!" Zhu Jingxing hurriedly explained.
"This is the best, this way the matter between us has finally come to an end.
You can pretend to cooperate with the Lin family in searching for me, but I also advise you not to be too nervous.
I agree with what you said. Even if Lin Qianqian dies, Lin Xiaotian will definitely not let it go.
But you also said that he is such a powerful man with countless enemies, and they may not be able to trace it back to me.
Only the two of us know about this, if you don't tell me, I'll be safe."
Luo Xiaoran's words made sense, and Zhu Jingxing's strong helplessness and hesitation were reduced a little. He said seriously:
"Don't worry, I won't betray you, but I still want to remind you:
The Lin family was a famous aristocratic family in Kyoto during the previous dynasty, a true ice-breaking family. It would be too difficult for you to seek revenge on the Lin family."
Zhu Jingxing repeatedly emphasized the power of the Lin family, and there was no lack of concern for her between the lines. Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoran's vigilance also dissipated a lot. She nodded, and her attitude was not as cold as before:
“I’ll be careful. I’ve led the people chasing me to the north, but they’ll soon realize something’s wrong. I have to get out of town before they come back and search the entire city.
I need a horse, money, water and dry food, and a map from Changzhou to the northern border. The official road is no longer available, but I can still take the small roads. "
Zhu Jingxing said he would arrange for someone to do it right away, but Luo Xiaoran stopped him speechlessly:
"You go there in person, quietly, and don't let anyone see you, okay?"
We agreed that only the two of us knew about this!
Zhu Jingxing nodded repeatedly. He had not slept all night because he was worried about Luo Xiaoran. Now that he saw she was safe, he relaxed instead, his mind a little confused.
"and many more!"
Luo Xiaoran thought of the white-haired old man kneeling beside Wang Cuihua. That man should be the doctor who treated her. She wondered if he had been persecuted by the Lin family.
“There is one more thing. Go ask around in various clinics later. The old doctor who treated me is still in the hands of the Lin family. I’m afraid something bad might happen to him.
Besides, he has seen me, and if the Lin family draws Zhu Jingshu's appearance based on his description, it would be inappropriate."
……
After coming out of Zhu's house, Luo Xiaoran went straight to the clinic where Niu Dan was. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Niu Dan lying on his back on the bed like a mummy, motionless, with his big eyes staring blankly at the beams, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luo Xiaoran felt a pang in her heart. Niu Dan must be thinking of his mother. In just a few months, both his parents were gone and he became an orphan.
"Xiaohe, do you feel better after applying the medicine?" Luo Xiaoran asked, pointing at Niudan's bandaged ankle.
When Niu Dan saw Luo Xiaoran coming back so quickly, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and he grabbed Luo Xiaoran tightly and refused to let go.
Luo Xiaoran knew that Niu Dan was afraid, so she let him pull her along and asked softly, "Have you taken the medicine? Is it bitter?"
"I drank it. It was very bitter, but I still drank it all." Niu Dan said timidly.
"I knew you were a good kid, so I brought you some candied fruit. Here, try it and see if it's sweet."
Luo Xiaoran took out an oil-paper package from her arms, which contained a lot of peaches, apricots, plums and dates pickled with sugar and honey.
She had just drunk the medicine that Wang Cuihua had prepared for her in the water bag, and she took a few pills to taste. They were so sweet!
It’s a bit sweet, but it can wash away most of the bitterness in your mouth. It’s really a must-have snack when taking medicine.
Niu Dan blinked his big eyes and looked at the candied fruits in the oil paper. He had never seen such beautiful things before and he didn't dare to eat them for a moment.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaoran picked up the largest dried peach and stuffed it into Niudan's mouth. Niudan was as happy as if he had eaten the best food in the world. His eyes were wide open, and he was so stunned that he didn't chew, and his saliva was even flowing down the corners of his mouth.
"Chew it while you eat. There's more for you to eat after you finish it!" Luo Xiaoran raised the oil paper in her hand, and then stuffed it all to Niu Dan.
The doctor who treated Niu Dan came here at some point. Seeing Niu Dan holding a bag of candied fruit with a dazed look on his face, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Your brother is quite well behaved. He didn't make any noise after you left. He just lay in bed and waited for you to come back."
"Thank you doctor for your help and care. Please give me the extra medicine I asked you to prepare before!" Luo Xiaoran said.
"Your brother's foot injury doesn't actually require so many medicines. He can recover in a few days by just resting in bed. I really don't know why you spent so much money on medicines!"
The doctor shook his head, as if lamenting Luo Xiaoran's squandering of money, and handed over a few water bags containing medicine prepared according to Luo Xiaoran's instructions.
Suddenly, a little medicine boy rushed in, shouting, "Doctor Wang! Doctor Wang! Doctor Qi has been brought back!"
Doctor Wang's joking expression disappeared immediately. When he heard the medicine boy's words, he immediately stepped out of the door.
Luo Xiaoran keenly heard the word "押" said by the little medicine boy, and hurriedly stopped the medicine boy who wanted to run out with him, pretending to be curious and asked: "What did this doctor Qi do wrong? Why was he escorted back?"
The little pharmacist wiped the sweat off his forehead, looking indignant, "I went out of town to treat a patient yesterday, and heard that the patient was a fugitive criminal, so the officials took our Doctor Qi to identify him.
What does this have to do with Doctor Qi? It's really an unexpected disaster!"
