Chapter 219 Fear
After waiting for Huairou to pack her things, she had to go to the palace to ask for leave from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. She had no choice but to wait. When it was almost noon and she still hadn't returned, Qin Qing came back. Her face was flushed and seemed very different from yesterday. When Su Luo saw her, he smiled ambiguously and asked her quietly, "How did you two get along? Did he take responsibility?"
Qin Qing's face turned red before she even opened her mouth. Just by looking at her expression, Su Luo understood.
Ahh! Even more curious.
"He's so awkward..."
Qin Qing obviously regarded Su Luo as her close comrade-in-arms. She did not mind sharing . Her face flushed red, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes. "When he goes back to his room, I go back to his room with him. When he goes to the study, I go to the study with him. When he doesn't look at me, I... take off my clothes in front of him and let him see the marks..."
"mark?"
Qin Qing blushed and glared at Su Luo, "It's what we said last night."
Oh, a kiss mark. Su Luo smiled secretly and nodded, "Then what? He couldn't control himself?"
"He scolded me." Qin Qing pouted angrily, "He said I was shameless, and then..."
Qin Qing stopped at the crucial point, and Su Luo clenched his fists anxiously, "What happens next?"
"Then I showed him how shameless I was! I did to him everything he had done to me! Then he was willing to take responsibility, and he has been taking responsibility until this morning."
"You... are too strong!" Su Luo held it in for a long time before uttering these words, and has been speechless ever since.
Mrs. Qin didn't say anything when she saw Qin Qing. Qin Huai told Su Luo that his mother stayed because she hoped to attend Qing'er's wedding in person.
Su Luo sighed, it was really hard for parents.
However, judging from Qin Qing's expression, it probably won't be long before Mrs. Qin can return to Nanjing with peace of mind.
Fortunately, Huairou came back not long after, otherwise there would be no way to leave the city today.
Su Luo thought Liu Chengxuan would come, but he didn't see him at all. Until a large group of people came out of the city gate, he saw a butterfly with a bag on its back, dozing off against a tree near the city gate.
"I thought you were leaving..." Liu Chengxuan jumped into the car and was stunned for a long time when he saw so many heads sticking out from behind Su Jiang. He took off his bag and sat in the car, saying depressedly, "I wanted to protect the flower all the way..."
Regardless of the purpose, Liu Chengxuan left under the banner of going to Luoyang to learn advanced experience of garment shops. Madam Qin and Qin Qi went home first after leaving the Princess's Mansion. Only Su Luo, Qin Huai and Qin Qing sent them out of the city.
The three of them returned the same way, and when they passed a rather large inn, Qin Qing stopped and curiously poked his head inside. Su Luo looked up and saw that the name of the inn was "Wanjia Denghuo", which was owned by the Wan family.
"Come in and sit down?" Qin Qing suggested, but they had already entered the inn. As soon as they entered, a waiter came to greet them, "Are you guys here for a meal or to stay overnight?"
"Let's have a bite," Qin Qing asked excitedly, "What's good to eat here?"
The waiter said hurriedly: "Our drunken chicken and fried tripe are both famous. "
Qin Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take these two..."
Before she could finish, she heard two people at the next table say in a voice that was just loud enough for Su Luo and the others to hear: "I heard that in the south of the city, the chickens used to make drunken chicken are dead for a few days. I wonder how it is here."
Another person said, “I heard a few days ago that someone found a worm in Wan’s fried tripe!”
Su Luo frowned when he heard this, and Qin Qing hurriedly asked the waiter, "How could this happen?"
The waiter waved his hands again and again, "Dear guests, please don't listen to this nonsense. I don't know what happened these days, but suddenly the rumor spread that our Wanjia store is bullying customers, and that the food is not clean and there are lice in the bedding. In fact, this is not true. Our Wanjia store is built with a golden signboard, how could we do such a thing that contradicts ourselves!"
Qin Qing nodded, turned around and said loudly to the two people: "Don't talk nonsense about what you heard casually."
The two men were silent. Qin Qing turned back and was still dissatisfied. The waiter became more enthusiastic towards Qin Qing and said, "Please wait a moment. The food will be here soon."
Qin Qing pouted and sulked, but Qin Huai said, "If the rumor started suddenly, I'm afraid someone did it deliberately."
Qin Qing frowned and said, "Is there anyone so bad?"
Qin Huai smiled and said, "These are common things in the business world."
Su Luo nodded quickly. When Liu Chengxuan and her clothing store competed, they played tricks on each other, but that was only the premise of the two companies competing. In the inn industry, there are countless competitors.
"Then what should my husband do?" Qin Qing's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and her small hands were clapping on the table unconsciously. As she clapped, a drop of bright red liquid fell from the sky and dripped onto the back of Qin Qing's hand. It was particularly conspicuous against her fair skin.
"Hmm?" Qin Qing looked up naturally.
Su Luo and the others were sitting near the stairs, and Qin Qing just looked up and saw a shadow falling down from the upstairs as a figure ran away. Even though Qin Huai reacted quickly and pulled Qin Qing and Su Luo up suddenly, the shadow had already fallen on the place where Qin Qing was just now. If Qin Huai hadn't pulled her up, the shadow would have pounced on her directly.
Qin Qing was startled, and Qin Huai's voice rang in her ears, "Don't look!"
But it was too late. A horrifying scene appeared before everyone. What fell from the building was actually a corpse, with mud on its head. It was dragged from some mass grave. Judging from its face, it must have been dead for a few days. But strangely, it was covered in blood, and the clothes on its body were new, as if someone had deliberately changed them.
Qin Qing shuddered violently, looked at the blood on the back of her hand, and screamed with a pale face. The voice was sharp and piercing, containing a strong sense of fear.
Qin Huai immediately held Qin Qing in his arms and said anxiously: "Luo'er..."
Su Luo was also frightened and could not even walk. She stumbled and was dragged to the door by Qin Huai. At this time, other customers in the store had already noticed the abnormality here and screamed and ran away. Qin Huai handed Qin Qing to Su Luo and hugged her. He went back and said to the frightened waiter: "Find two people to carry this person out through the back door!"
The frightened waiter kept agreeing but would not move. The door of a room on the second floor opened and Wan Yangui walked out, frowning and asking, "What's the matter?"
He first saw Su Luo at the door and Qin Qing, who was pale and trembling in her arms. Then he looked down, his face changed drastically, and he growled, "Go find someone and do what he says!"
