Chapter 77 Drugging
Chapter 77 Drugging
Fan Mingju was hanging out outside with a few servants. He had long been bored with the concubines and maids in the mansion and was thinking about changing his taste and finding some married women to play with.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
Wow, he didn’t even know there was such a beauty in the capital!
This girl is so pretty, how can she be compared to those married women?
The more Fan Mingju looked, the more itchy his heart became. He folded his folding fan and walked forward like a handsome young man.
"My lady, I see you are frowning. Have you encountered any difficulties? I like to help others. Why don't you tell me and see if I can help you?"
The girl opposite looked at him timidly, tightened the bag in her hand, hesitated for a while, and frowned slightly.
"I...I came to Kyoto from my hometown to look for my relatives, but...but my cousin moved away. I searched for a long time but couldn't find him."
Fan Mingju was delighted, because it turned out that she had come from the countryside to the capital to look for her relatives. No wonder he had never seen her before.
"So you are here to look for your relatives. Kyoto is so big, and it will be difficult for you to find your cousin by yourself. But I know a lot of people, so why don't you stay at my house first? I will ask the servants and guards in the house to help you look for your cousin tomorrow. I will send you there when I get news about your cousin, okay?"
"This, this is not good, right? You and I don't know each other, how can I trouble you, young master."
"Miss, you are wrong. Although you and I don't know each other, as the saying goes, when you are out and about, the more friends you have, the more paths you will take. After a while, you will become familiar with each other."
Seeing the girl in front of him, he was somewhat moved but hesitant. Fan Mingju winked at the servant beside him.
The servant received the hint and immediately chimed in, "Miss, don't worry, our young master is not a bad person. Our master is a high-ranking official in the Dali Temple, and your aunt is the imperial concubine in the palace.
Our young master is a kind-hearted person. He always lends a helping hand when he sees others in trouble.
A girl comes to the capital alone, if she runs into a bad guy, she will be in trouble. It is better for you to settle down in our house first, and then slowly look for your cousin.
Our Master will also help you find it. If even our Master cannot find it, we can ask the Imperial Concubine for help. If that doesn’t work, you can even ask the Emperor to help you.”
"Oh, so the Imperial Concubine is actually your aunt? Is your aunt really going to help me find my cousin?"
Seeing the girl in front of him full of surprise, admiration and naivety, Fan Mingju was secretly delighted. He nodded with a smile, "Of course it's true."
"That's great. I didn't expect to meet a distinguished person on this trip. In this case, I will trouble you, sir."
"It's just a small favor, young lady, you don't have to be polite. Come with me back home and settle down. I will help you find your cousin tomorrow."
The girl looked grateful and said, "Okay, I will listen to you, sir."
Tsk, I didn’t expect that he was so lucky that he met such an innocent little white rabbit as soon as he went out.
The girl's every frown and smile almost took his soul away.
If I were to hold her under me, I wouldn't know how ecstatic I would feel.
The more Fan Mingju thought about it, the hotter he became, and he couldn't wait to take the person away.
Yang Feng walked out from the corner, looked at the backs of a group of people leaving not far away, frowned and asked Tiechui.
"Your girl just followed him like that, aren't you worried?"
Tiechui glanced at him sideways and said expressionlessly, "The one we should worry about is Fan Mingju. Just wait and see. Before tomorrow, he will definitely regret why he lives in this world."
Yang Feng's eyebrows jumped violently. Although he was a little worried, at this point, he could only wait.
But Miss Xie said that they were not allowed to interfere.
Xie Lan sat leisurely in the carriage. He glanced out through the curtain at Fan Mingju on horseback and secretly sighed.
He looks like a decent human, what a pity.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped.
Xie Lan put away the laziness on his face, replaced it with a timid and weak expression, and slowly got off the carriage.
With a look of amazement, he said, "Young Master's house is really big."
Fan Mingju was complacent and disdainful, indeed a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
He smiled modestly, "It's nothing. Miss, you must be tired. Come with me and settle down. Have a good rest so that you will have the energy to look for your cousin tomorrow." Xie Lan smiled softly, "Young Master is really kind."
Fan Mingju was so tempted by the smile that he raised his hand to grab the soft little hand.
Xie Lan frowned, moved aside, and said anxiously, "Master, this is not appropriate."
Fan Mingju was a little disappointed. Seeing that he was still outside the gate, he could only suppress the restlessness in his heart and smile gently.
"Don't get me wrong, girl. I was just worried that you might trip, so I wanted to help you."
"Ah, it turns out that I misunderstood you, sir."
"It's okay, girl, don't worry about it. Come on, let's go in first."
Xie Lan responded softly and followed Fan Mingju into the mansion.
Just as I walked around the hanging flower gate, I met a woman walking out with her maids and servants.
Judging from her clothes, I think this person is Xue.
Xie Lan guessed correctly.
Xue glanced at her, turned around and asked, "Ju'er, who is this girl?"
"Mother, this is Miss Xie, who came to Beijing from another place to look for her relatives."
Although Fan Mingju did not elaborate, she knew exactly what kind of person her son was.
When he heard that it was a girl from another place looking for her relatives and had no one to rely on, he didn't care at all.
"You can have fun, but you have to take care of your body. I asked the cook to make you some nourishing soup, remember to drink it."
"Don't worry, mom. I'll save it."
Seeing her son couldn't wait, Xue looked as if she was used to it. She didn't say much and turned around and left the house with the maids and servants.
Xie Lan looked at the receding figure with cold eyes. This Xue was really not a good person. She knew her son's character very well, but when she saw him bringing a strange girl back, she didn't say anything to stop him.
Fan Mingju brought Xie Lan to his courtyard and gave the servant a look, "Ask the cook to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes. I want to welcome Miss Xie."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The servant responded and retreated.
Soon, several maids came over with plates of delicious dishes.
The servant stopped the leading maid in green at the door and poured a packet of medicine powder into the soup bowl in her hand. He stirred it with a spoon and whispered, "Give it to the girl inside."
"Yes." The maid was serving Fan Mingju, and was probably used to this kind of thing, so she walked in as if nothing had happened.
First, he calmly placed the food in place, and finally placed the bowl of soup in front of Xie Lan.
Fan Mingju waved to the maids, "You all leave." Then he gestured to Xie Lan, "I think the young lady must be hungry. Try the cooking of our cook and see if it suits your taste."
Xie Lan didn't move his chopsticks, but picked up the wine cup beside him and looked at Fan Mingju with a smile, "I'd like to offer you a toast. Thank you for taking me in and helping me find my cousin."
Although Fan Mingju was used to seeing beautiful women, he was still mesmerized by the girl in front of him and happily raised his wine glass.
While he was drinking, Xie Lan quickly switched the two cups of soup and made a few hand gestures.
After Fan Mingju finished drinking, she was too embarrassed to put down the wine cup, "This wine is too strong, I can't get used to it. I will use soup instead of wine, to toast you, sir."
"Okay." Fan Mingju put down the wine cup dazedly, picked up the soup bowl, and drank it in one breath.
Soon, the medicine began to take effect.
Seeing his flushed face and confused eyes, Xie Lan immediately drew a talisman in the air and injected it into his body...
Have you watched the Olympics recently? The gold medal moment is so exciting.
