Chapter 344 Look down on

She has many lives on her hands, so it wouldn't hurt to add one more.

What's more, he's a scumbag!
Xiao Luoan naturally noticed that Cen Ying was murderous at this time, and glanced at her, "Although you are usually irritable, you are also the most sensible and organized. This Lu Qiyan is the person I want to win over. If you have such thoughts, aren't you ruining my business?"

"I dare not." Cen Ying loosened his grip on the sword, "But I think that if he is a cruel person, he will only care about gains and losses and will not care about friendship. I am afraid he is not someone who can cooperate with me."

"That makes sense." Xiao Luoan nodded, then laughed, "But Lu Qiyan is not that kind of person. He and Madam Xia are probably not just playing around. This marriage is not just to hide their identities."

"At least, not now."

He asked someone to investigate and found out that Xia Mingyue was bought back by Lu on his own initiative, with the intention of marrying her to Lu Qiyan.

The plan of Lu and Zhao Youcai was probably very simple. Lu Qiyan was unmarried at an advanced age and was in the army. His life might be lost on the battlefield at any time, so it was not easy for him to get married. So they bought a girl and brought her back to be Lu Qiyan's wife. She would give birth to a child as soon as possible. Then Lu Qiyan would have a descendant, and the couple would have fulfilled their responsibilities. The call of brother and sister-in-law was not in vain.

At that time, Lu Qiyan probably thought that after he had a wife, his identity would be less likely to arouse suspicion, so he did not refuse and just kept the girl at home.

But he probably didn't expect that Xia Mingyue was gentle and intelligent, tough and strong, and had great cooking skills, and she walked into his heart little by little.

As a result, they are the enviable couple they are today.

This is probably the legendary fate of husband and wife.

Xiao Luoan was deeply moved by this very pure emotion between husband and wife, and this somewhat mysterious love story.

Cen Ying didn't think much about it, but when she heard Xiao Luoan say that Lu Qiyan didn't treat Xia Mingyue for exploitation, she pursed her lips and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Xiao Luoan nodded with a smile.

Cen Ying lowered her eyes, then raised them after a moment and looked at Xiao Luoan, "Sir, how do you know that it's not this Lu Qiyan who is used to acting and deceiving everyone?"

"Whether a person has feelings for another person can be best reflected in the details, especially the eyes, which are the least likely to lie."

Xiao Luoan said, "I saw that look in Lu Qiyan's eyes."

When Lu Qiyan brought over the two cups of tea, his expression was gentle, and tears seemed to come out of his eyes. Even when he mentioned the word "wife", his tone was doting.

These can only come from true feelings in the heart and form natural actions.

If it is acting, no matter how good your acting skills are, you can't do this.

Cen Ying fell silent again after hearing this, but after a moment, her face was full of doubt again, "But, how do you know that the emotion in Lu Qiyan's eyes must be love for Madam Xia?"

Xiao Luoan, "..."

How could he not know?
"Sir, you have never had any feelings for anyone, so how can you be so sure?" Cen Ying added.

Xiao Luoan, "..."

Why do you feel you are being ridiculed?
Even if you haven’t eaten fat pork, have you seen a fat pig running?

Moreover, how come he has never had feelings for anyone else?
Who are you looking down on?
Xiao Luoan opened his mouth to refute and explain, but Cen Ying thought for a moment and said, "Since Master said so, then that's probably it. I'll just listen to you."

Xiao Luoan, "..."

What does it mean if he says yes, then it is good?

Why does he look like he's trying to force someone to do something?

Xiao Luoan felt extremely uncomfortable with the breath stuck in his throat, but he didn't want to get angry with Cen Ying, so he just called Xu Chong who was outside to come in.

"What do you want, sir?" Xu Chong yawned.

He has to set up a stall to sell starch sausages during the day every day, which consumes a lot of physical energy. He has been working until now tonight and is really sleepy.

"I'm a little hungry. Go make two starch sausages." Xiao Luoan ordered.

This was the best time to turn grief into appetite. And after talking for so long, he was indeed a little hungry.

Xu Chong, "..."

What kind of good guard would go frying starch sausages in the middle of the night?

"Sir, all the starch sausages from the day have been sold out. We need to go to Xiaji's central kitchen tomorrow morning for the fresh ones..."

Before Xu Chong could finish his words, Cen Ying's sword had already reached his neck.

Along with it came his cold warning, "Be honest!"

"Just go." Xu Chong pouted.

In order to satisfy his craving for food which sometimes rebelled in the middle of the night, Xu Chong would always save two or three sausages for himself when he was doing business every day.

Today is no exception.

But I didn’t expect that Cen Ying actually knew about this.

I’m afraid this small kitchen won’t be able to be run from now on.

Life is really not easy, Xu Chong sighed.

After a moment of silence for his starchy intestines, Xu Chong pushed away the sword that Cen Ying had placed on his neck, and then called on the guards to help him light a fire.

Seeing this, Cen Ying let out a breath and retracted the sword.

Xiao Luoan watched this scene with great interest, shaking his head and chuckling.

As the saying goes, brine and tofu, one thing conquers another, Xu Chong had to be dealt with by Cen Ying, and he, unfortunately, could not escape this disaster.

Unfortunately……

The smile on Xiao Luoan's face disappeared in an instant, "This is the last dose of medicine that Doctor Yin prescribed."

"Yes, there are still five days left, and you don't need to take the decoction anymore." Cen Ying replied, "But Doctor Yin said that the young master is weak and needs to recuperate in the future, so he made some pills to strengthen the body and replenish qi. You can take them daily after the decoction stops."

"I'll talk to Doctor Yin tomorrow and ask him to make more pills in the next few days."

Xiao Luoan ordered, "In addition, gather the people and set off on time in five days."

He had rested long enough in Jinqiu County and now needed to do what he should do.

"Yes." Cen Ying responded with a serious expression and bowed.

Xia Mingyue woke up when the rooster crowed three times.

Without even opening her eyes, Xia Mingyue subconsciously hugged Lu Qiyan's arms tightly.

"Awake?" Lu Qiyan whispered softly, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah." Xia Mingyue replied in a low voice.

The voice was lazy, like that of a kitten, which made Lu Qiyan feel itchy in his heart, and he couldn't help but kiss Xia Mingyue's forehead again.

It is impolite not to reciprocate, so Xia Mingyue simply stood up and pecked Lu Qiyan on the lips.

Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer, husband?"

The sweet voice made Lu Qiyan's throat tighten a little, and he answered in a hoarse voice, "Okay..."

……

After breakfast in the morning, Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue went to see Zhao Youcai together.

The decoction prescribed by Yin Lingyou contained sedatives and analgesics. After a good sleep, Zhao Youcai felt much better than yesterday. He also felt that his wound was not as painful as before. He was able to sit and talk with the couple for a while.
