The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 97 How about staying with you? (3)
"No problem, it's just a waste of internal energy." Shui Qianliu said indifferently.

In fact, it is not easy to take a person to practice in the rain, avoid the rain, and rely on internal strength to support the whole process?
Jiujiu looked at Shui Qianliu with a serious expression on his face: "My lord, please let Jiujiu take your pulse."

"No need." Shui Qianliu refused coldly.

Jiujiu couldn't dispel the wish of going against the tide, so he could only persuade him with a complicated expression: "Young master, you have a noble status, please cherish yourself."

Shui Qianliu nodded slightly, and changed the topic: "Are you here to find Qing'er?"

Jiujiu nodded: "Everything is ready, we are about to set off. The servants are here to practice with Miss."

"No need." Shui Qianliu stopped: "She just took a rest, you go on your own."

"That's it, please tell the young lady that we are leaving." Jiujiu didn't force himself.

After Shui Qianliu nodded, Jiujiu turned and left.

After Jiujiu left, Shui Qianliu looked at the sunny sky, feeling the stuffy air, his eyes thoughtful.

The heavy rain that had entangled An Ning for more than half a month finally stopped, and the people inside and outside the city were all overjoyed, and they came out of their homes one after another to congratulate each other.

For three days in a row, there was no rain.This made the people of An Ning, who were suffering from the heavy rain, gradually relax.

Villages and towns affected by the heavy rain also quickly sent post horses into the city to report disaster information to Anning's top executive, Mr. Liu.

Under the scorching sun, the air became distorted due to the high heat, and there was a faint rotten smell in the air, like the musty smell after the rain.

In the government office, there is a lot of busyness, all about counting the disaster situation, making huts and gruel, and helping the victims.

Among the merchants, there was also an undercurrent. Under the leadership of the Hu family, they quietly hoarded food.When the Chu family started to inquire about some medicinal materials, these shrewd businessmen suddenly realized that there were more medicines among the materials they hoarded.

Everything was going on in the dark, and in the calm after the rain, it seemed that a bigger storm was brewing.

"The weather is too hot." Ming Liu leaned on the porch with a few little maids, listening to the cicadas' cicadas on the tree, and felt that every breath was like being in a fire.

"Yeah, I thought it would be cooler after the heavy rain, but I didn't want it to get hotter." The little maid who spoke was from Li's house, and she echoed Ming Liu's words.

The words of the two spread to the room, and before Li's mother-in-law could reprimand her, she heard Li smiling and saying: "Go and get some cold well water to relieve the girls from the heat."

Mammy said in embarrassment: "However, the master ordered that all the water in the mansion must be boiled before it can be used."

"So..." Mrs. Li lowered her eyes, thought for a while, raised her head and told the nanny, "Then take out some ice cubes from the ice cellar, get some chilled plum juice, and share with everyone."

"Yes, ma'am." Mammy replied and left.

Chu Qing looked at her mother with a full smile. Her mother was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also had a kind heart. Even if she was born in a poor family, what does it matter?
Li Shi turned her eyes to meet Chu Qing's slightly curved phoenix eyes, pretending to be angry and said: "I called you here to drink this iced bird's nest, not to look at me and smile."

"Ah Li obeys." Chu Qing smiled, and drank the cold bird's nest porridge in one gulp.

"Slow down, no one will grab you." Li said with a smile.

Chu Qing swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his small face: "It's not a question of whether to grab it or not, the main reason is that my mother's craftsmanship is so good that Ah Li couldn't stop."

"Where did you learn the slick tongue?" Li's heart was happy, but his mouth was coquettish.

Chu Qing replied without thinking: "Of course I learned it from my father."

"What did you learn from me?" As soon as the former finished speaking, Chu Zhengyang's voice sounded by the door.

"master."

"Daddy."

Both mother and daughter stood up at the same time.

Li Shi even went around the round table and walked towards her husband: "No one will tell me why I came here, and the girls outside the house don't know how to report."

"Don't blame them. I'll come and see Madam and Ah Li. I have something to report." Chu Zhengyang looked at his wife and daughter contentedly, walked to the round table, and pulled Li to sit down.

"Daddy came to see mother, A Li just happened to be here." Chu Qing mercilessly exposed Chu Zhengyang's lies.

"You girl." Chu Zhengyang reprimanded helplessly after being punctured by Chu Qing.

Mrs. Li glared at Chu Qing, held a bowl of porridge in her hand, and passed it to Chu Zhengyang: "Master, it's hot outside, drink some porridge to relieve the heat."

Chu Zhengyang didn't want to go against his wife's kindness, so he drank the bird's nest porridge in one gulp.

This gesture was exactly the same as Chu Qing's, and Li Shi laughed and said, "You two, father and daughter, really look exactly the same when they eat porridge."

Chu Zhengyang and Chu Qing were taken aback at the same time, and the last estrangement that seemed to exist between the two of them, who knew each other well, disappeared invisible in Li's words.

Looking at such parents and feeling the warmth of family affection, Chu Qing suddenly didn't want to lose everything she had.She doesn't allow anyone or anything to spoil it all.

Concealing the emotions in his heart, Chu Zhengyang put down the bowl and looked at his wife and daughter with some reluctance in his eyes.

"Master, what's the matter?" Knowing husband Mo Ruo's wife, as Chu Zhengyang's bedside person, was the only one. How could Mrs. Li fail to see how preoccupied he was at the moment?
Not to mention Li's, even Chu Qing saw something wrong with his father at this time.

"Dad, what kind of trouble did you encounter?" Recently, the Chu family followed the merchants in the city to buy some medicinal materials and grains. During the competition, there would naturally be some friction. Chu Qing also thought that something happened to embarrass Chu Zhengyang.

Chu Zhengyang shook his head slowly, looked at his wife and daughter solemnly, and made up his mind: "I plan to send you out of the city."

"Master!" Li looked at her husband in disbelief.

"Father, has the outbreak started in the city?" Chu Qing frowned and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li's beautiful face was also full of tension.

Chu Zhengyang sighed and said, "Not yet, but I heard that some people have started to get sick in some sheds for disaster relief. Although it is not certain whether it is the plague, many families with good conditions are starting to prepare for going out of the city."

Chu Qing lowered her eyes in thought.

"Then why don't you go with us?" Li asked in a voice.

Chu Zhengyang looked at his wife with complicated eyes, and gently held her hand: "Madam, if I leave, what will happen to the Chu family and the people in the Chu family business?"

Li's face turned pale, and he withdrew his hand from Chu Zhengyang's, and said in a choked voice: "Then you have the heart to send my mother and daughter away?"

Chu Zhengyang stood up, with pain flashing in his eyes, looking out the window at the burning sun in the sky and scorching the floor: "If I abandon the people who depend on me to live alone, that would be unrighteous. I, Chu Zhengyang, can't do it." So, I can only do my duty as a husband and father and send my wife and daughter to a safe place.”
