Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2439 Bring a Message 102.0

After chatting with Mr. Jiang and Xia Chen for almost an hour, until Mr. Jiang was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha got up to say goodbye.

The Shadow who had gone to deliver the letter to Qi Bo had already returned and brought back a message from Qi Bo, saying that since he had been caught, he should just go to sleep quietly and there would be another chance in the future.

After hearing this message, Shen Cha didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and even less whether to be angry. Qi Bo's words clearly meant that although she couldn't play cards all night this time, she could wait for the next time, and she would be able to play one day.

Seeing Mr. Jiang's smug expression and his agreement with Qi Bo's idea, Shen Cha felt that he needed to remind the shadows inside the teahouse to keep an eye on them at night so that no one would run away when he was not careful.

It's not that she doesn't want them to play cards, these old people don't have any other hobbies, just this one, and she doesn't disapprove of it. But she doesn't support them playing cards all night long, and continuing to play at dawn the next day before going to bed.

Whether it was her, Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian or Jin Miaomiao, they had told them countless times that staying up late was bad for the health of the elderly. No matter how much medicine they took, staying up late playing cards every day would be of no use.

But these people obviously just listened with one ear and let it out with the other. They agreed on the surface, but in fact, they didn't listen at all. During the tense period, they were all well-behaved, but once no one was watching, they started to gather together again.

This attitude of not listening no matter how much persuasion is given gives everyone a headache. These elderly people at the border are very precious and need to be well protected. If any of them has any problem, they will be sad and worried and will not be able to sleep or eat.

But these precious gems don’t have this awareness. They think playing cards is the most important thing in the world and everything else is not a big deal.

However, this was the first time they were caught in the act, so they all promised to be obedient and there wouldn't be a next time. Especially Xia Chen, who swore that when he was at the border, he would keep a close eye on them and would never let them stay up late playing cards.

Although Xia Chen's words were not very credible, at least someone was watching him, so Shen Cha could feel more at ease.

When she and Shen Haolin left the teahouse, she once again reminded Xia Chen to take good care of Mr. Jiang and get a good night's sleep, and that someone would be arranged to deliver breakfast tomorrow.

Xia Chen nodded in agreement and watched Shen Haolin and Shen Cha leave. Knowing that they had gone very far and could no longer see their backs, he returned to the teahouse.

He walked to the backyard, looked at Mr. Jiang, who was drinking tea leisurely without feeling sleepy at all, and sighed helplessly.

"You are really..." He shook his head, "You two really put a lot of thought into playing cards. They will be back soon. What should we do?"

"They won't come back. It's almost midnight. If they don't go to sleep, they won't have to sleep." Master Jiang sighed softly, "These two children are also suffering. They don't eat well or sleep well every day. They worry about all kinds of things."

"You know they have so many things to worry about, why can't you just be obedient?" Xia Chen sat opposite Mr. Jiang, "Are you a late rebel?"

"When people get old, they tend to become like children and not listen to advice." Mr. Jiang sighed, "Besides, I'm in a good mood recently and have untied the knots in my heart for many years. Compared with these old memories, staying up late is nothing."

"Heart knot?" Xia Chen thought about his elder's experience. He didn't know how many heart knots he had, and he was too embarrassed to ask. He could only nod gently, "That's true."

"Okay, don't stay here with me anymore." Mr. Jiang waved his hand, "Your Qi Bo won't come, I was just joking." "Then you..."

"If I hadn't done that, the two of them wouldn't have left, just to let them have a good sleep." Master Jiang put down the teacup in his hand, stretched, stood up and patted Xia Chen's shoulder, "I'm going back to the room, you should go to bed too!"

Xia Chen nodded and sent Master Jiang back to his own room. He stayed outside for a while, and only returned to his room with peace of mind after all the candles in the room were extinguished.

What he didn't know was that not long after he left, two figures appeared on the roof of Mr. Jiang's house.

"Not bad!" Shen Cha smiled at Shen Haolin beside him and said softly, "At least he didn't lie to us."

Shen Haolin nodded and gestured to Shen Cha, and the two of them left the teahouse completely and walked towards the direction of the Duke's Mansion.

"It was obvious that Second Grandpa was pretending to be sleepy just now. Fortunately, he just did that to make us leave quickly and go back to rest."

"Are you worried that he will go to Qi Bo again after we leave?"

"Master and Uncle Yan are definitely at home, and Brother Xiaojing is accompanying them to review today's training, so he definitely doesn't have time to ask him to come. The only person we can ask is Uncle Qi." Shen Cha sighed, "Fortunately, the only sound of Second Grandpa's breathing in the room is. I just lifted the tiles and took a look, and he is indeed asleep."

"These old guys." Shen Haolin shook his head gently, "They are too willful. I don't know why they have such a big addiction."

"Let them enjoy it if they like it. Let them play during the day and forget about it at night." Shen Cha sighed, "Night is fine, as long as it's not before midnight."

Shen Haolin didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and looked at Shen Cha, "What are you going to do?"

"How to do it?" Shen Cha spread his hands. "In fact, it coincides with our previous plan. We planned to send him back, but we didn't think about letting him escape from our control. If we can get him out of Master Falian's hands, it will be more useful than anything we say."

"Miao Miao is already preparing?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded gently. "There are several prescriptions in the master's notes, all of which are for preparing fake death drugs. Miao Miao has already started researching to see which one is more suitable. I hope that after he leaves, I can find a suitable one."

"I'm afraid I should tell him this?"

"Maybe." Shen Cha took Shen Haolin's hand and shook it. "If he really wants to leave, we might tell him. If not, we can mix it in his usual medicine, calculate the time and dosage, and wait until he helps us bring the message. It will be just right." She chuckled and said, "This will make it difficult for Miaomiao. Everything depends on how far she can go."
