Chapter 11

The woman quickly retreated to his side.

This couple is indeed a pair of honest people, they probably don't do this kind of thing often, and the expression on their faces already reveals their guilty conscience.

Qi Huan didn't talk nonsense: "You should know why I came here. The so-called untie the bell must be tied. I want you to go to the Yamen to withdraw the pleadings and let Zheng Mama go."

The woman quickly turned her head to look at her husband, her expression was already frightened, and then she murmured: "She stole my purse...that's...life-saving money..."

"Whether she steals or not, you know it in your heart, and I know it too." Qi Huan smiled, her expression was kind, and her smile was not aggressive at all, but such a stroll-like attitude made me feel more intimidated. People feel that she is inevitable.

The husband and wife gathered together and held each other's hands tightly, their expressions were hesitant and panicked, and they couldn't stop exchanging looks with each other.

Qi Huan looked at the two of them: "You are false accusations! I might as well tell you the truth, I am the eldest lady of the Changning Hou Mansion in the capital, and that woman is the woman in charge of my courtyard. How much money did she steal from you? One or two two The money and silver are not worth the one or two pieces of jewelry I casually rewarded her, and she came to the city yesterday to invite a doctor and also to save her life. You sent her to the yamen, if it wasn't for my maid in time to invite someone else The doctor went over, and now I am not ordered to sit here and talk to you."

Although this is only a small town, it is not far from the capital after all. The Hong family and his wife have no experience, and they probably know that the Hou's mansion in the capital is a noble family, let alone the master of the mansion, it is just a person in charge. Just moving a finger can make them unable to live, not to mention——

According to Qi Huan, this almost involved a life. They almost killed the daughter of the Hou's mansion?

"Ah..." The woman's face turned pale, and she let out an exclamation.

These two couples are indeed honest people. When the man heard that the matter was so serious, his psychological defense completely collapsed in an instant, and he knelt down with trembling knees. It's just that they knew that they had caused a huge disaster, so they didn't dare to speak rashly. Admitting something, the man's lips twitched twice, and he didn't tremble for a long time before uttering a word.

"I know that you were instigated and bought by others. There are also seriously ill patients in your family. You are short of money to save your life. I don't want to embarrass you for the sake of pity for everyone. This charge of theft." Qi Huan lived in a harmonious society in his previous life, and although his family's conditions were acceptable, it's not like he hasn't seen the helplessness and struggle of poor people.

She didn't mean to force anyone to die. Seeing that the prelude was almost ready, she said bluntly: "So, I will give you one or two taels of silver now, and you take it to the yamen. I got the same purse as you and made a mistake in a moment of impatience, so I went to withdraw the pleadings and asked the Yamen to let her go."

The man suddenly looked up at Qi Huan, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

But the woman muttered again anxiously: "False accusations will be punished..."

Qi Huan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Dr. Hu, then smiled and hooked his lips, and the condition was neat and neat: "Five taels of silver plus a good medicine for skin trauma."

Dr. Hu just followed along to join in the fun, and he never expected that the young lady's self-acquainted skills would give way to him, and even included him in it, so she couldn't help being stunned.

But Hong Dayong didn't hesitate any more, and immediately slapped his thigh: "Okay! I'll go!"

"Okay, I'll wait here." Qi Huan nodded, "Mother Liu, take two people to a carriage and horse shop to rent a carriage, and pick up Mama Zheng at the yamen. She was hit by a board, and she is inconvenient."

"Let Sun Sheng go, I will wait here with you." Mama Liu gave Hong Dayong a tael or two, and gave the guard Sun Sheng the money to rent a car.

Hong Dayong held the money in his hand, but hesitated to leave. He looked back at his wife who had just got up and the direction of the back room with the curtain hanging, as if he was still not at ease, and then explained to Qi Huan: "Miss, We really don't want to harm anyone, it's...the child broke his leg and he can't be cured all the time, we...we..."

As he spoke, his eyes were choked with sobs and his eyes were red.

"I said, I won't make things difficult for you." Qi Huan directly assured her.

"Thank you! Thank you, miss." Hong Dayong cupped his hands, and hurried out with the money in his pocket.

Qi Huan didn't reject Mama Liu's proposal, so the guard named Sun Sheng called a companion and followed Hong Dayong.

Qi Huan didn't seem to dislike the mess and smell in the room at all, so he sat there quietly and waited.

Qi Yuanchen was very uncomfortable, frowning and wrinkling his nose.

Qi Huan noticed his strangeness and lowered his head to ask him: "Are you uncomfortable? Then I will ask Mother Liu to take you back to the carriage first?"

Qi Yuanchen's head shook like a rattle immediately, and he grabbed her sleeve tightly.

This child seems to be very dependent on her sister. Qi Huan has never coaxed a child in her previous life. She has always thought that a child is a noisy and troublesome creature, but she thinks that maybe she is new here and has no sense of belonging. Now there is such a child Treating her so intimately, on the contrary, made her feel particularly warm in her heart, and when she was with him, she didn't feel so impetuous and confused anymore.

She couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips, and patted the child's back twice.

Everyone didn't speak, and the lady of the Hong family stood beside her awkwardly, constantly pulling her fingers.

Qi Huan was very patient, but the doctor Hu who followed him couldn't stand still. After he had looked at the house and the rat hole three times, he finally came to The Hong family's daughter-in-law came forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I just heard that there is a patient in your family, right? I'm a doctor and I just have nothing to do. Why don't you let me see the patient?"

Qi Huan didn't see him being so kind when he first entered the door, and now he's not sure if he's really dedicated to his job or just a good thing?
But this doctor is not from the Qi family, and she is not in her charge, so she didn't make a sound.

But because he was brought by Qi Huan, and the Hong family couple had done something wrong to him, the Hong family daughter-in-law was very wary of him and hesitated.

Dr. Hu was very enthusiastic: "I'll just take a look, I don't just give injections and prescribe medicines."

He didn't disturb the patient, just took a look and there was no hindrance, the wife of the Hong family nodded and let him into the back room with precaution.

Qi Huan doesn't like miserable scenes very much, and as an outsider, she doesn't know if she can survive, and she doesn't have the heart to feel sorry for others, so she doesn't care about the things inside at all, she just wants to be safe and sound. sitting.

Dr. Hu went in for a long time, but as he himself promised, he just took a look, checked the patient's wound and felt the pulse, and then came out.

This town was not big in the first place, so after going back and forth like this, after waiting for a while, Hong Dayong, who had been hit by twenty boards, limped back.

"The head of the house!" The lady of the Hong family rushed to help him with red eyes.

Hong Dayong entered the room profusely, gritted his teeth and apologized to Qi Huan first: "Miss, the small things you ordered have been done."

"Okay!" Qi Huan was very trustworthy. While giving Liu mother a wink, he turned his head to look at Dr. Hu: "Doctor Hu, a flesh injury like the board should be healed, please?"

Mother Liu hastily followed the young master out, so she was naturally prepared. She carried about ten taels of silver in her purse, and two twenty taels of silver notes by her side. She immediately took out five taels of silver and put them on the table.

Dr. Hu was easy to talk, he didn't find a pen and paper to prescribe a prescription, but rummaged through his medicine box and took out a small bottle and handed it to the Hong family couple: "Bruises are the most common, I have this medicine It is prepared ready-made, just apply it externally, keep the wound away from water, and it will be cured in about ten days."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor." The Hong family couple took the medicine bottle with gratitude and looked up at Qi Huan eagerly, but Qi Huan sat still and had no intention of leaving.

The two looked at each other, nervous again.

"How much money did the person who bought you give you?" Qi Huan suddenly spoke again. As soon as the words came out, the Hong couple were startled again. It became a temptation: "If you are willing to say it, I will double it, and... I will guarantee your safety."

 Well, I, Miss Qi, seem to be good at hitting straight balls...
