Hu Zun was temporarily placed in the front hall to wait.
Soon, a maid came over with tea.
Hu Zun took the initiative to pick it up and accidentally exposed the wound on his hand.
"Mr. Hu, are you injured for our wife?" the maid asked in a low voice.
"Yes," Hu Zun sighed, "women are naturally weak. How could I just watch Mrs. Cheng get hurt?"
"Young Master is such a good man."
A smile spread across Hu Zun's lips, and he was about to put the tea cup on the table, when suddenly his wrist flicked, and a lot of tea dripped into his hand.
"Oops!" The maid was shocked and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
Hu Zun gently pressed the back of her hand and said softly: "It's a small injury, it's okay. Don't burn you."
The maid's ears turned slightly red.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.
Hu Zun decisively let go of the maid and turned around to look.
Seeing Qing Lingyi, who was still alone, his eyes became a little brighter.
"Mrs. Cheng."
"lady."
Qing Lingyi caught a glimpse of the maid's red ears and the handkerchief she held tightly in her hand, and frowned slightly, "You go down first."
"yes……"
Hu Zun said from the side: "Mrs. Cheng, don't get me wrong. I accidentally spilled the hot tea just now, and she was helping me wipe my hands."
Qing Lingyi didn't say a word to this and went to sit on the chair.
Hu Zunshun pointed at the food box on the table: "Mrs. Cheng, these are the snacks I bought at Baiweizhai after waiting for a long time. I don't know if they are to your liking."
Qing Lingyi glanced at it and Wen Liang said, "I thought Mr. Hu came here today to pay a visit to my husband, but he was so thoughtful and even prepared my snacks."
Hu Zun heard the irony and alienation in her words, and his smile faded slightly. He sat next to her and said, "Mrs. Cheng forgot, I got to know you first, and then I got to know General Cheng. In my heart, I treat you as my own sister. How can I forget to bring snacks to my sister when I pay a visit to General Cheng?"
Qing Lingyi said nothing.
"I heard," Hu Zun glanced at her face, "General Cheng had a big fight with someone at the Yunzhong Inn on Chang'an Street today? Was it because of another man?"
"It's just a rumor. Mr. Hu will just listen to it. Don't take it seriously." Qing Lingyi said quietly.
"It's really hard to tell whether something is true or false."
Hu Zun sighed and said: "Do you know why Jiang Yizhou's cousin got into a fight today? He had a broken sleeve and was forced to marry a wife by his parents' orders. After the marriage, he ignored his wife and turned his back on her. He was entangled with other men outside, no, he was caught and raped in bed by his wife today..."
Qing Lingyi looked sideways: "Mr. Hu's remarks, could it be that he is implying to me that General Cheng also has a habit of cutting off his sleeves?"
"How dare you! We are just human beings. We have to make more plans for ourselves, especially women. If there is no way out, it will be really difficult to move forward in this world."
"A way out?"
Hu Zun stared at her, full of affection: "Back then, I really wanted to take you home and raise you as my own sister."
Qing Lingyi had goosebumps all over her body.
"I can't forget you all these years, and I've always worried about your safety. You must have had a hard time in the General's Mansion, right? General Cheng, I know, is rude and arrogant. How do you know how to care about women?"
Qing Lingyi couldn't listen anymore: "Master Hu, what exactly do you want to say?"
Hu Zun put his elbows on the table, leaned towards her, and lowered his voice: "I just want to protect you! I don't want anything else. I just hope that you are well."
Qing Lingyi's expression suddenly changed, and she stood up neatly: "Master Hu, please respect yourself!"
Hu Zun hurriedly stood up and said, "I mean what I said! If I didn't mean it, how could I remove the thorny vines for you?"
Qing Lingyi wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this.
Pushing aside the cane, such a clumsy method, actually trying to impress her?
Those rattans didn't hinder her from walking at all, it was simply unnecessary on his part.
What's more, if you really treat her, how can you pull the cane for her this time after all these years?
"you listen to me……"
Hu Zunlai pulled her arm.
Qing Lingyi shook him off without saying a word, stepped back and called out: "Here comes someone!"
The back of Hu Zun's hand hit the corner of the table and became red and swollen.
The pain made his chest rise and fall, and he murmured with pleasure from the bottom of his throat. He looked at Qing Lingyi eagerly: "Okay... hit me... hit me!"
Qing Lingyi:?
Hu Zunzhen was so excited that he lost his mind: "Keep beating me! Don't show mercy to me!"
Qing Lingyi:? ? ?
Is he mentally ill?
Hu Zun pressed forward step by step.
Qing Lingyi wanted to hit him, but felt that doing so was more like rewarding him.
The moment she hesitated, Hu Zunji was close at hand.
Suddenly, a dark shadow approached from the darkness, and a big palm clasped Hu Zun's shoulder like a sharp eagle's claw, pulling him aside without any explanation.
Hu Zun turned around: "Who is it?"
Qing Lingyi raised his eyes and met an extremely cold face.
Like being covered with everlasting frost, it is rare in the world that there are wounds between the brows and eyes.
Qing Lingyi quickly realized who he was and made a decisive decision: "Knock him out!"
"yes."
The man struck Hu Zun heavily on the shoulder and neck with his palm, making him completely unconscious.
Xixia regained his composure, Qing Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "You are Si Rujian, right?"
Si Rujian threw Hu Zun to the ground and responded: "Yes."
"The general sent you to protect me."
"yes."
Qing Lingyi stared at him for a while and suddenly realized: "Today at Yunzhong Inn, the general is actually fighting with you!"
Si Rujian still said "yes", and the expression on his face did not change.
Qing Lingyi asked expectantly: "So, is General Cheng also injured like this?"
If Cheng Yang was also bruised and swollen, she would feel relieved.
Si Rujian said frankly: "The general was unscathed."
Qing Lingyi was shocked: "You don't even fight back?"
Si Rujian's words were concise and concise: "I can't beat you."
Qing Lingyi was very disappointed.
After a moment of silence, Si Rujian turned to look at her with an unnatural look on his face and asked: "General, he..."
"Um?"
Seeing her calm expression, Si Rujian made a strong effort and asked: "Can the poison in the general's body be removed?"
Qing Lingyi became more solemn and said: "It's hard to say, the poison he was poisoned is rare. In fact, the Fuhui fruit I asked Xu Yanshan to find can only restrain the poison. It's hard to say whether it can remove the poison. "
Si Rujian stopped talking.
Qing Lingyi tilted her head: "Are you all worried about him?"
"Yeah." Chengjia was as grateful as a mountain to Si Rujian, and Cheng Yangji was Chengjia's only hope.
"Don't worry, I will save him. I will." Qing Lingyi said solemnly.
Si Rujian looked at Qing Lingyi and remembered what Cheng Yang of Yunzhong Inn had said. He couldn't live without her.
From this point of view, she is also the hope of starting a family.
For the first time in history, Si Rujian said: "Thank you very much."
Qing Lingyi smiled and said, "Thank you for showing up in time and helping me."
"Exchange merit for crime." Si Rujian said.
Qing Lingyi was puzzled: "What?"
Si Rujian did not explain, but glanced at Hu Zun on the ground: "Madam, what should I do with him? Kill him?"
