Chapter 329 Meeting in the Rain
Qian Feng was shocked. "Ah? This..." It was already bought by someone else, how could he give it to him? Just relying on his old face?
In order to pay off Zhao Xiuwan's debt, he had already saved his reputation once...
"What's this?" Zhao Xiuwan immediately shouted angrily when she saw Qian Feng hesitated, "What are you thinking about? Didn't you and them always treat each other as brothers before? Why? After encountering something like this, they no longer treat you as a brother? Didn't you always say that you two are friends who are willing to die for each other? Now you just want them to transfer two pieces of land. Is this more important than life?"
Qian Feng couldn't think of any words to refute what Zhao Xiuwan said. He really couldn't win the argument, so he could only stare at Zhao Xiuwan blankly, speechless.
Zhao Xiuwan didn't want to see him in this stupid look, and she wished she could punch him twice to vent her anger.
"Get out of here. What are you still standing here for?" Zhao Xiuwan yelled.
"Madam, it's almost dark." Qian Feng said aggrievedly, "Even if you want to find someone, you have to wait until tomorrow!"
"Then go back to the military camp and wait for tomorrow!" Zhao Xiuwan said. She threw her sleeves and said angrily, "Don't come back no matter what happens!"
"Madam, madam, I'd better wait until tomorrow to go to the military camp!" Qian Feng begged in a low voice.
"You're not leaving, are you?" Zhao Xiuwan glared at him angrily, "If you don't leave, I will!" After saying that, she pretended to turn around and walk outside.
Qian Feng quickly grabbed Zhao Xiuwan's sleeve and said, "Madam! It's getting dark outside. Where are you going? You are not allowed to leave!"
"Let go!" Zhao Xiuwan said angrily.
Looking at Qian Feng pulling her sleeve, Zhao Xiuwan felt disgusted by his dirty hands!
"I..." Seeing Zhao Xiuwan so angry, Qian Feng could only helplessly loosen her sleeves.
"Are you leaving or not?" Zhao Xiuwan pointed outside the door and said, "If you don't leave, I will really leave!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving! I'm leaving!" Qian Feng didn't dare to provoke Zhao Xiuwan again and could only nod repeatedly.
He felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhao Xiuwan, so he could only pull his clothes and walk out slowly.
"If you don't have the land, don't come back!" When Zhao Xiuwan saw that he agreed, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, and even her originally angry face eased a little.
Qian Feng felt tired in his heart, but he didn't dare to agree to Zhao Xiuwan's request for such a thing. He could only wave his hand and then walked out the door in frustration.
He didn't want to go to the military camp for the time being. Even if he went, he wouldn't be able to find Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng. Qian Feng could only wander aimlessly in Mangcheng.
Wei Ling had just returned from inspecting the camp, and according to the rules he should have rested for three days.
Xie Yingfeng was not on duty today, so he must be in the prefect's mansion accompanying his wife.
So now when he goes to the military camp, he can only watch alone.
He walked casually on the street like a ghost. He didn't know how long he had been walking when a muffled thunder was heard from the sky.
This is the first spring thunder in the north this year!
Xie Yingfeng looked at the sky which had already darkened. Soon, raindrops the size of soybeans fell from the sky.
Only then did he realize that there were almost no people on the road!
Even if there were still a few pedestrians, they began to run home or seek shelter under the nearest eaves because of the sudden spring rain.
He was the only one still standing in the middle of the road, staring at the sky stupidly.
"But Captain Qian." A carriage passed by and then slowly stopped. A white hand lifted the curtain of the carriage and then half of a face appeared.
Under the light of the wind and rain lamp hanging on the front of the carriage, the plain face looked a little pale.
"It's Madam Lin." After looking down on the person through the rain, Qian Feng quickly clasped his fists and bowed. The person in the carriage was Lin Xuwen's wife, Li Yuzhu. Ever since Li Yuzhu got her money back from Zhao Xiuwan, she has been staying indoors.
Li Yuzhu's face turned even paler, and she smiled helplessly, "Captain Qian, please don't be so polite. It's raining so hard, if you don't mind, you can take this umbrella!"
She handed out an umbrella.
Qian Feng hesitated for a moment and was about to refuse. He was already soaked to the skin, so why bother asking for an umbrella? But seeing that the rain had already soaked Li Yuzhu's sleeves, he felt that if he refused again, he would be ruining her kindness.
So he nodded, took a few steps forward, and took the umbrella with both hands, "Thank you, Mrs. Lin!"
"Don't say thank you. If it weren't for Captain Qian's responsibility, I would have lost all my wealth." Li Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "It's just an umbrella, not worth mentioning. Then I'm leaving, Captain Qian, take care." After saying that, she shrank back into the carriage.
Qian Feng held up the umbrella and watched the simple carriage leave in the rain, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The scholar Lin Xuwen suffered in prison. Although he was not the main culprit, he helped those people forge false accounts. He was dismissed from his post by Wei Ling, beaten with eighty military sticks, and all his property was confiscated.
His body couldn't withstand eighty blows of the military stick, and he has been bedridden and unconscious ever since.
If Li Yuzhu had not taken back the five thousand taels of silver, she and Lin Xuwen would have to sleep on the streets now.
He just returned the money to Li Yuzhu. This was not a matter of irresponsibility on his part, but rather it was only natural to pay back a debt.
This money belongs to Li Yuzhu, so it cannot be confiscated.
Now Lin Xuwen relies entirely on Li Yuzhu's money to survive.
It had only been about half a year since these palace maids and concubines left the capital and came to Mangcheng, but things and people have changed a lot.
Qian Feng sighed twice, and suddenly remembered that he still owed money to Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng for paying back the money for Zhao Xiuwan. Now he was forced to ask for two pieces of land from them. Qian Feng suddenly felt that he was overwhelmed!
I was soaked to the skin and couldn't go home, so I had no choice but to go to the military camp.
Qian Feng sighed softly and walked towards the military camp.
When passing by Hongyun Building, Qian Feng couldn't help but look inside the building.
It rained heavily today and it seemed that everyone in the store had left. There were only a few customers and only one or two tables were still open.
Nangong Rui stood at the door and saw Qian Feng passing by at a glance.
"Brother Qian? How come you are soaked even though you are holding an umbrella?" Nangong Rui asked in surprise.
He looked at the way Qian Feng came and asked, "Are you going to the military camp?"
"Nothing, just going to take a look. But it doesn't matter if you don't take a look." Qian Feng stopped and smiled. "Are you used to being the shopkeeper here?"
He seldom came to Hongyun Tower on weekdays. After all, Zhao Xiuwan didn't like him coming and always said that people would gossip about him. So this was his first time coming here since Nangong Rui became the shopkeeper.
