Chapter 137: Stepmother?

Mu Yexiao just smiled and said nothing, Qian Jiujiu just muttered something funny, but what he was thinking about was how to sleep tonight

You obviously slept for so long yesterday, will you not be able to sleep well tonight

It's a pity that these are all Qian Jiujiu's imagination. After dinner, Qian Jiujiu just talked to Mu Yexiao for a while, and then he felt sleepy. He lay in Mu Yexiao's arms and fell asleep quickly. .

Early the next morning, Nanfeng set off with Xiao Man, and Xiao Man also asked Chen Da about the location of ginseng. Chen Da hunted in the mountains all year round and was very familiar with every plant and tree on Table Mountain. .

After knowing the destination, Xiaoman went up the mountain and headed towards that place. Of course, Nanfeng followed behind him. The two of them quickly retrieved a century-old ginseng.

Xiaoman dug the ginseng and looked at Nanfeng: "Brother Nanfeng, I still want to look for Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains. Can you go with me?"

Nanfeng nodded: "Okay."

That simple word made Xiao Man feel grateful to him again, and then the two of them searched around the mountain, and sure enough, they had just passed by.

Nanfeng heard Xiaoman's exclamation: "Brother Nanfeng, come quickly. Look, I found Ganoderma lucidum."

Nanfeng was very happy to see the joy on Xiaoman's face: "Now that everything has been found, let's leave quickly. I think the princess must be very worried about you."

After finding the needed medicinal materials, Xiaoman naturally stopped staying on the mountain any longer, and then returned to the palace with Nanfeng when Qian Jiujiu got up at noon.

After eating lunch, he looked at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, is there any whereabouts of the medicinal materials you asked to find?"

Mu Yexiao shook his head: "How can time go so fast? What's more, both things are very precious. This also depends on chance."

Qian Jiujiu thought that this was really the case, but he couldn't help but feel a little more worried. It had been almost two days, and if he couldn't find the medicinal materials in a few more days.

Hong Yue is afraid that she really won't get better. For such a long time, the people around Qian Jiujiu have not lost anything. If Hong Yue loses this time, I'm afraid Qian Jiujiu will be unhappy.

What's more, although Hongyue didn't have much contact with her, she was still a life in general. Qian Jiujiu had a sad face, waiting for the medicinal materials to be collected.

In the evening, the two people who went up the mountain finally came back. When they came to Qian Jiujiu, Xiao Man took out the two medicinal materials he found.

"Sister Princess, I found it. Can you take a look at these two things?"

Qian Jiujiu looked at the medicinal materials on the table and stared at Qian Jiujiu with both eyes. Why was Xiao Man so lucky? A trace of humility suddenly flashed in Xiaoman's eyes.

This was seen by Qian Jiujiu, and of course she didn't tell the truth. Everyone has a secret. Since Xiaoman didn't want to tell it, she wouldn't ask. She could feel it anyway.

Xiao Man had no malice towards her at all, and smiled at Xiao Man: "The medicinal materials came just in time. I will go to the pharmacy to prepare the medicine now. Just wait for me here."

After saying that, Qian Jiujiu went to the pharmacy. An hour later, Qian Jiujiu walked out of the pharmacy. Seeing Xiao Man still standing here, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but frown.

"You kid, you are so honest. You are just waiting here. Why don't you go and have dinner?"

Xiaoman looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Sister Princess, I'm worried! I want to see if Sister Zhihong is okay. Have you prepared the medicine?"

Qian Jiujiu originally wanted to tease Xiao Man, but seeing Xiao Man's anxious look, he suddenly had no intention of doing so: "We're matched, let's go see the red moon now."

Xiaoman then happily followed Qian Jiujiu to Hongyue's yard. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Hongling feed the pills to Hongyue.

Qian Jiujiu sighed: "Hongyue's life has been saved, but I'm afraid she won't be able to use martial arts in the future."

Hong Ling's cheek changed, and she glanced at Xiao Man, as if she had something to say. Qian Jiujiu didn't see this, then turned and walked out of the room: "Just take good care of Hong Yue here."

Seeing that Qian Jiujiu didn't care about this matter at all, Hong Ling felt even more uneasy. Can Hong Yue stay in the palace without martial arts

You must know that the maids around the princess are all specially selected, and Hong Yue is also old. Thinking of this, Hong Ling suddenly made up his mind and sent Qian Jiujiu to Mu Yexiao's side.

While Xiao Man was having dinner, he came to Xiao Man's side. Xiao Man had just noticed Hong Ling's eyes: "Sister Hong Ling, do you have something to tell me?"

Hong Ling glanced at Xiaoman tentatively: "Miss Xiaoman, you will be the princess's adopted sister in the future. When you call us slaves, you don't need to use the word sister."

"You can call her by name directly, and I have the guts to come here today because I want to ask you something. What do you think of Hongyue?"

Xiaoman looked at Hongling with some confusion, wondering why he suddenly asked

"Hongling, what do you mean by suddenly asking me this? Sister Hongyue is very nice. I got used to it and can't change my words."

When Hong Ling heard this, her heart was pounding and she couldn't change her words. Was this a hint to herself not to say anything? I just thought that Hongyue would not be able to stay with the princess in the future anyway.

At worst, she would make the decision once and help Hongyue ask: "No, Miss Xiaoman, I mean, what if Hongyue is your stepmother?"

Stepmother? This time, Xiao Man was really surprised. He looked at Hong Ling and said, "Do you mean to ask Hong Yue to marry my father? But is Sister Hong Yue willing? She is so young."

"My father is old, and he still has me as a dragster."

Hong Ling was a little helpless about this. Chen Da was only in his thirties, but he was not old. If it was just Xiao Man's excuse, would she say it or not

I was thinking about it, so I might as well say it, after all, I have already spoken: "I think Hong Yue will definitely not mind, and Hong Yue has no martial arts skills, so she will definitely not be able to stay with the princess."

Xiao Man suddenly understood that perhaps even if Hong Yue was well, she could not stay with the princess sister, so where would she be sent? Xiao Man squinted his eyes and looked at Hong Ling.

"I can't make the decision about Hong Ling, but I can ask my father. If my father is willing, I will definitely not object."

Hearing that Xiao Man would not object, Hong Ling smiled: "Actually, Miss Xiao Man, letting Hong Yue be your stepmother will only be good for you. Your father is not old, but still young."

"And you are a girl, so your father will definitely be looking for a wife. It is better to have a stepmother who loves you than to marry a stranger. No one knows whether that person will be harmful to you!"

It seems that in order to get Xiao Man to agree and persuade Chen Da to marry Hong Yue, Hong Ling put his heart into this matter. Xiaoman thought about it, it seemed like this was the case, and looked at Hongling.

Blinking his eyes: "Don't worry, Hongling, I like Hongyue just so that she can stay by my side, and I will try my best to promote this matter."

After receiving Xiaoman's assurance, Hongling left with satisfaction. Finally, when she returned to Qian Jiujiu's room, she saw Qian Jiujiu looking at her with a smile on her face.

Before Hong Ling could speak, she heard Qian Jiujiu speak: "How is it? Did Xiaoman agree?"

Now it was Hongling's turn to be surprised: "Princess, do you know why I went to find Miss Xiaoman?"

Qian Jiujiu chuckled: "Of course, tell me the answer."

"Miss Xiaoman agreed, and said she would try her best to persuade Chen Da. I don't know if she can succeed in the end. Hong Yue will no longer have martial arts skills, so I won't be able to do anything for you."

"I guess the prince will not put her in your yard, so I want to find a place for her."

Qian Jiujiu nodded with satisfaction: "I think so too. The people I finally rescued cannot be wasted, right? Let Xiaoman handle this matter."

"If Chen Da agrees, he will definitely come over to propose marriage to this princess. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest quickly. Let Qingyu..."

Having said this, Qian Jiujiu paused and looked at Hongling: "By the way. Hongling, what are Qingyu doing recently?"

Hongling coughed twice, as if she was a little embarrassed: "Qingyu has been shutting herself in the door recently, making clothes, but I know that she is hiding from people!"

Qian Jiujiu blinked and said, "Yo Xi, there's something fishy here." Looking at Hongling: "Who is she hiding from? Okay, Hongling, you found out about the adultery and didn't tell me?"

Adultery? This moment frightened Hongling so much that she knelt down and said, "Princess, calm down, this is definitely not adultery."

Only then did Qian Jiujiu realize what he had said, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Um, that's the wrong word. You get up first. I won't care. Can you explain clearly what's going on?"

Only then did Hong Ling tell the truth. It turned out that something happened at the lantern festival. It wasn't Qing Yu who got separated from them, but she unexpectedly met Li Geng.

As for Li Jing, after coming into contact with Qing Yu, it was obvious that he had a crush on Qing Yu, but Qing Yu had a completely insulating expression on his face.

Li Jing was so helpless that he finally saw this opportunity and naturally took advantage of the large number of people to take advantage of Qingyu, even in the crowded crowd.

He touched Qingyu's hand, and then started to yell that he had to take responsibility. No, he came to the door every day. Taking advantage of business reasons, he mentioned this matter to Qingyu everywhere.

If Qingyu hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have wanted to force Qingyu directly, otherwise Li Jing would have gone directly to the prince to express his gratitude. Thinking of this, Hongling still admired Li Jing very much.

You must know that Li Jing is the third shopkeeper, and although Qingyu is a first-class girl next to the princess, she is still not as good as Li Jing, so as long as Li Jing asks, the prince will definitely agree.

But Qian Jiujiu didn't know this. After hearing these things, he laughed muffledly.
