Chapter 726: Second Brother’s Means
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Why… did you sell it to someone else?” Second Master Shen was stunned.
He felt that he had not done a good job and was very ashamed.
The Wei Nation merchant said, “I’ve been in the Western Capital for more than a month, but that herb hasn’t been sold. I thought that I couldn’t sell it anymore, so I wanted to deal with it cheaply before it withered… No one expected that… either no one wanted it, or everyone wanted it.”
He was in a difficult position.
Second Master Shen was the son of the Vice Alliance Master. Who didn’t want to cling to this big tree?
Besides…
He glanced at the man in the wheelchair not far away. For some reason, he felt that the other party was a big shot.
“Brother Wei, Madam Wei…” Second Master Shen was extremely ashamed. He had just bragged to someone that he had found the herb, but in the blink of an eye, the herb had been bought. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
He did not know that this herb was bought for Zhuge Qing. If he knew, he would probably jump down from the top floor on the spot.
“Who did you sell it to?” Mei Ji walked over and asked.
The Wei Nation merchant had never seen such a seductive woman. His gaze subconsciously swept across Mei Ji’s proud chest. He resisted the urge to bleed from his nose and said awkwardly, “I sold it to an alchemist.”
Mei Ji asked, “Where did you sell it?”
The Wei Nation merchant did not dare to look at her again, afraid that he would lose his composure in public. “A market outside the east city.” Mei Ji continued, “Do you remember what that person looked like?”
The Wei Nation merchant nodded repeatedly. “I remember, I remember!”
Wei Ting asked Fu Su to get a pen and paper. After the Wei Nation merchang finished describing him, his portrait was completed.
“Take a look.” Wei Ting showed him the portrait.
“Yes! He looks like this!” The Wei businessman was shocked. How could someone draw such a similar portrait? G.o.d!
“Alright, I understand.” Mei Ji asked for the portrait to be brought over. After rolling it up, she put it into her wide sleeve. “I’ll definitely get the herbs back in twelve hours!”
The a.s.sa.s.sin glanced at her. “The premise is that the other party hasn’t use it.”
Mei Ji glared at him. “Don’t jinx it!”
She looked at Zhuge Qing. “Sir, I’ll go find the herb. Wait for my good news!”
Zhuge Qing smiled. “Okay.”
She tapped the tip of her foot and flew down.
This small interlude did not affect Zhuge Qing’s interest. He called the Wei Nation merchant to sit with him.
The Wei Nation merchant was a little embarra.s.sed.
Second Master Shen said with a flushed face, “If Sir asks you to sit down, sit down!”
“Wh-what sir?” the Wei merchant asked slowly.
The Wei businessman was dumbfounded!
Wei Ting was a little helpless. He wanted to leave the banquet to look for the herb a few times.
Zhuge Qing was calm and chatted from time to time.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh. This was really a man with terrifying mental fort.i.tude.
Wei Ting had a serious expression. “Why do you keep staring at my second brother?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Second Brother is good -looking.”
Wei Ting’s face darkened. “Wife, you’ve changed.”
Second Master Shen and the merchant of Wei Country successfully collapsed. Zhuge Qing called the shopkeeper over and asked him to arrange a room for the two of them.
Then, the group returned to the inn.
“Second Brother, let’s go together. We live on the same street anyway,” Wei Ting said as he carried the sleeping Dahu.
Erhu and Xiaohu were in Su Xiaoxiao and Fu Su’s arms.
Zhuge Qing said nothing.
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes slightly and realized something. He said in shock, “Second Brother, don’t tell me you moved?! What do you mean? You’re deliberately hiding from me! If Dahu and the others hadn’t followed you… and happened to meet you tonight… would I never have been able to find you again?
How could you do this?!”
Wei Little Seven was hurt.
He stuffed Dahu into his arms.
Dodge, continue dodging!
Ah Yuan looked at Zhuge Qing awkwardly. “Sir.”
Zhuge Qing looked at the sleeping little fellow in his arms and sighed. “Back to the Moon Chasing Inn.”
The corners of Ah Yuan’s mouth twitched. They were moving back…
The next day, the Western Jin Emperor summoned Zhuge Qing to the imperial study of the palace.
“I heard that you have a sister. She’s Qin Canglan’s granddaughter.” The Western Jin Emperor went straight to the point.
There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people.
Zhuge Qing sat in a wheelchair; his aura was deep and restrained. There was a faint smile on her lips. “Ah, there’s such a thing.”
The Western Jin Emperor paced around the room and frowned at him. “Aren’t you from Northern Yan? How are you related to the Qin family of the Great Zhou? I don’t remember Qin Canglan having a grandson your age.”
Zhuge Qing said softly, “I’m not from the Qin family of the Great Zhou. She’s not my biological sister. I wanted to acknowledge her as my foster sister.”
“Foster sister?”
“She looks a little like my long-lost sister. The first time I saw her outside the West Capital, I had the idea of taking her as my adopted sister.”
The Western Jin Emperor looked at him suspiciously. “I… have never heard about your sister.”
Zhuge Qing smiled bitterly. “I don’t want to mention sad things to anyone. My sister is my only family in the world. Unfortunately, we were separated ten years ago. All these years, I’ve searched many places. I only found a trace three years ago.”
The Western Jin Emperor paused. “Three years ago… your sister came to the Western Jin?”
Zhuge Qing nodded slightly.
The Western Jin Emperor frowned and said, “So… your real purpose in staying
in the Western Jin is to find your sister?”
Zhuge Qing remained silent.
In the eyes of the Western Jin Emperor, this was a tacit agreement.
The Western Jin Emperor was originally worried that he would not be able to keep him without the stone marrow. From the looks of it, he was overthinking.
Zhuge Qing sighed and said, “However, everything seems to be Qing’s wishful thinking.”
The Western Jin Emperor said in a low voice, “Why? She’s still unwilling to be your foster sister?”
Zhuge Qing smiled.
The Western Jin Emperor quickly remembered that the girl was Yuwen Xi’s friend, and Zhuge Qing was Yuwen Huai’s strategist. The two families did not get along, so it was not strange for the little girl to not agree.
The Western Jin Emperor was definitely not an easy person to fool, but Zhuge Qing had won the trust of this emperor over three years. It was very easy for the current Western Jin Emperor to believe him.
The Western Jin Emperor snorted. “So many people can’t wait for such a good thing, but she actually doesn’t care.”
Zhuge Qing said, ‘Everyone has their own ambitions.”
The Western Jin Emperor sighed. “What a strange woman.”
Soon, the Western Jin Emperor thought of something. If that girl refused to acknowledge Zhuge Qing as her foster brother, would she also refuse to treat Zhuge Qing’s leg? “Hegui.” “Your Majesty.”
“Go to the inn.”
Su Xiaoxiao had just finished breakfast with the three little ones and planned to go to the Princess’s Residence to do a follow-up for the young prince.
Eunuch He suddenly came.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw him, she remembered that Guo Lingxi had complained to the Western Jin Emperor. The Western Jin Emperor most likely knew that she was Zhuge Qing’s “sister”. Could it be that Eunuch He were here to ask her for the gold?
He asked, “Madam Wei, have you thought about it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I’m still considering it.”
He smiled and took two boxes of heavy gold from the accompanying eunuch. “His Majesty said that as long as you agree to treat that patient, the consultation fee will be doubled.” Su Xiaoxiao was speechless..
