C67 (1/2)
The two of them played chess leisurely. Qiao Liangjin, who could not understand a single piece of chess, had already yawned five times and drank three pots of tea. Finally, the two of them finished playing.
She got up and held Qiao Liangjin's hand. She bid farewell to General Wu and said, ”General, I brought my beloved wife around your garden. Would General mind?”
The mighty general waved his hand and said with a chuckle, ”Your highness and wangfei are both honored and deeply honored to be under my wing!”
Qiao Liangjin lowered her chin slightly. Then, she walked towards the garden together with Qing Shui.
When he reached the lotus pond, he cleared his footsteps, lowered his head, and stared at the reflection in the water with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Liangjin was standing not far from where she was standing. She raised her head and looked at the cotton-like clouds in the sky, and then looked at the city gate tower not far away.
Qing Qing turned her body to the side and asked, ”Why didn't you come with me to look at the Golden Carp?”
Qiao Liangjin slowly moved over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Qing. She looked at the Golden Carp swimming back and forth in the water and muttered to herself, ”I wonder if I can eat it …”
It was clear that Su Chen had heard those words clearly. His lips formed a very good curve as he said with a faint smile, ”Why don't we capture a few and try roasting them?”
”Huh?” Are you sure you aren't mistaken? He had heard that there was someone who could pamper his wife into the heavens, but for a living person to be so obedient, other than the Ning Seal, that was probably the only way to purge her.
Thinking of Ning Xi, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt like she was in a hurry to leave the Prime Minister's Palace. If he didn't notify him, could he have gone looking for him?
He suddenly asked after sensing her absent-mindedness, ”Are you thinking about Prince Ning?”
Qiao Liangjin blinked her eyes dumbly and asked in disbelief: ”How did you know?”
The corner of his mouth slightly widened. The Southern Kingdom did not have a single person capable of saving oil.
A clear palm gently brushed Qiao Liangjin's face, the warm palm touched her eyebrows, eyelashes, and the tip of her nose.
He didn't know how to answer her question. His senses told him that on that long day when they passed through the long waterway, her heart must have secretly handed to him. However, he still cared about the impression Ning Xuemo left in her heart.
In her heart, she could not lie to herself. She knew that she had always said that clearing her heart was useless and useless, but she could not help but admit that in her heart, this handsome and extraordinary man had already quietly moved into his dwelling.
”When are you returning to the capital?” Sensing that Su Chen did not want to answer his question, Qiao Liangjin changed the topic.
”I'm going back tomorrow. What about you?” He cleared his throat and replied softly.
”Ten days later, we will set out on our journey back to the city. ”I am now certain that my father has long since discovered that I am no longer in the Prime Minister's Estate.”
She lowered her head to look at the Golden Carp in the water and suddenly squatted down. Her hands were as fast as lightning as she dived into the water. When she stood up, a plump Golden Carp was already in her hands.
Qiao Liangjin was dumbstruck as she looked at Su Qingqing.
After clearing up, he threw the fish in his hand to a guard not too far behind him. ”Go to the kitchen and cook it well. Bring it to the pavilion later.”
The guard quickly carried the live and lively Carp to the kitchen.
Qiao Liangjin lightly coughed, and with a helpless tone, she said: ”Next time, what would happen? I don't dare to tell you, but what would you do if I told you that a woman's blood can retain her looks?”
He cleared his long eyebrows with a serious expression on his face.
Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said, ”That is a female Count's hobby, not mine, not mine. I was just casually saying.”
”So what if you like it?”
Qiao Liangjin was once again flabbergasted when she heard those words.
Did he get it wrong? He was simply looking down on human life, so it didn't matter to him.
Qiao Liangjin's entire body shivered as she recalled the smell of her own body being soaked in human blood. She then continued to wave her hands and said, ”Disgusting, disgusting. I won't do that.”
Su Qing suddenly pulled Qiao Liangjin's hand, held her shoulder, and smiled at the reflection in the water: ”Jin'er, look at our reflection. Isn't that a good idea? ”
Qiao Liangjin suddenly pulled out her hand from her grasp and jumped behind with a vigilant look on her face. ”Why are you so numb today? I can't take it anymore.”
Not far away, Yu Sheng, who was still basking in the sun, shuddered.
Qiao Liangjin simply sat on a flat rock by the shore, picked it up, and threw it into the pond.
Su Qing also sat beside her and said in a small voice, ”I've already sent people to abduct Xiao Hu's sister-in-law and children. We've already let the news out. We can wait for tonight's internet cafe.”
Joy flashed across Qiao Liangjin's eyes as she nodded her head.
She knew that it was inconvenient for her to speak here. Even if her voice were a bit louder, it might just be heard by others.
Clearing his eyes with a smile, he continued to speak in a low voice, ”Tonight, you and I will guard here. How about it?”
Today, there was an extra dish in General Wu's mansion, the Red Braised Carp.
It made General Wu's heart ache for a long time. He had spent a lot of effort to find this best golden carp from the Southern Kingdom. In the end, it had become a delicacy within the stomach of this woman before him, causing his heart to ache.
Qiao Liangjin shook her head and sighed as she ate the Golden Carp. Indeed, the food in the pond was not as delicious as that of the wild. The earthy smell was too strong.
So what if Qiao Liangjin eats it? She even commented on it: ”Today, this golden carp in the General's Estate is truly horrible. To be honest, I don't want to eat it anymore. ”General, get me some water, the fish from the water is delicious.”
The corner of General Wei's eyes twitched, but he pretended to be magnanimous as he said, ”Alright, alright, alright. Miss Qiao's words are correct.”
Qing Shui quietly picked up another plate of fish and placed it on her plate. He said softly, ”This is a fish from the living water. I instructed the kitchen to make another one. You can try it.”
