Chapter 80: Chapter 82: You and I Were Not Meant to Be, It’s All Because You Splurged Chapter 80: Chapter 82: You and I Were Not Meant to Be, It’s All Because You Splurged The next day.
Qin Liuxi had a good night’s sleep and appeared refreshed and invigorated in front of Qi Qian and the others, causing people to feel quite frustrated.
“Yo, did Young Master Qi spend last night lost in thought? Didn’t sleep well?”
Qi Qian said, “Rather, I had a night filled with disturbing dreams.”
Last night, he actually dreamed of a female ghost leading a child wandering around the posthouse, not knowing if it was because of the words Qin Liuxi said in front of Mrs. Zhou that triggered some self-suggestion.
Children should not talk about strange forces and gods, Qi Qian had always firmly believed in this, but since he went looking for Qin Liuxi, he felt that his understanding had been overturned.
From the Wanhuai Forest to yesterday when Qin Liuxi handled the corpse passing the soul, and then to her assertions last night.
Combining all these, Qi Qian no longer dared to comfort himself with the saying that children should not talk about strange forces and gods.
Qin Liuxi laughed: “Don’t worry, Young Master Qi is just preoccupied with his thoughts. Just recite the Heart Clarity Spell a couple of times.”
“I think, Doctor Qin granting two peace charms would be more effective,” Qi Qian suggested.
Qin Liuxi waved her finger, “Peace charms are sought after, and those destined will attain them on their own…”
Qi Qian tactfully handed over a silver note, a hundred taels.
Qin Liuxi immediately smiled, accepting the silver note with one hand and from the other sleeve, she pulled out a triangular folded peace charm, laughing, “You and I have no destiny, it’s all because you spend money. Good people are greatly good, blessings to the Infinite.”
Qi Qian placed the peace charm in the wallet hanging from his waist.
Old Mrs. Ding came over supported by her granddaughter, Qin Liuxi glanced at them, seeing their dejected looks as if they hadn’t slept well all night, understanding instantly.
Old Mrs. Ding came to say goodbye.
Qi Qian’s expression was indifferent: “Safe travels, Old Mrs. Ding.”
Old Mrs. Ding slightly embarrassed, bowed, and then led her granddaughter who kept turning her head back as they walked away.
“Young Master Qi is quite indifferent, even the sadness of the young beauty is leaking out.” Qin Liuxi chuckled.
“What does it have to do with me, rather it’s Doctor Qin…” Qi Qian had just started speaking when he saw Qin Liuxi’s smile fade, and he followed her gaze.
It was Mrs. Zhou from last night, supporting the now awake Xie Qikang getting into the carriage. In just one night, Xie Qikang seemed even weaker, clutching his chest as if he was about to die from breathlessness.
And Mrs. Zhou, her expression also fluctuating, perhaps sensing the gaze, looked over and stiffened upon seeing Qin Liuxi, her lips quivered but ultimately, she did not come over, but instead got on the carriage and left.
Qi Qian withdrew his gaze, seeing Qin Liuxi’s expression turn icy, and said: “That Mr. Xie is a scholar, you said he won’t live past three days, is that true?”
“I, personally, do not like to speak without basis,” Qin Liuxi picked up a teacup, took a sip, and said: “He bears the deaths of three people, he should die.”
Qi Qian’s pupils constricted, almost unable to sit still: “He bears the death of others?”
“Yes, indeed, killing his father-in-law, his wife, and his child, isn’t he ruthless?”
Qi Qian immediately instructed Huo Lang: “Go and bring the Posthouse Minister.”
Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow: “Young Master Qi wants to intervene?”
“Since he bears the death of others, it should be for the officials to decide the case,” Qi Qian said: “Even if his death is certain, those he killed are wrongful deaths, they deserve justice.”
Qin Liuxi was silent for a moment, then said: “Then you must act quickly, he originally had three days left, but now, he probably won’t survive today.”
That Xie Qikang, his aura of death intensified, unlikely to even reach Ningzhou, he might die on the way.
Qi Qian was startled and looked at Huo Lang, who nodded and left.
