Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

He Zhilin took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Jiang Xue, and told her how to use it.

Jiang Xue asked: "Are the prescriptions for these pills consistent?"

He Zhilin said yes.

Jiang Xue hesitated and said: "In that case...why don't you give me enough for a month at a time, so that I don't have to bother you to go to Gu's house every day."

He Zhilin was stunned for a moment.

"Gu Lintan has an agreement with me. He now believes that I will use medicine to make you sick. If all the medicine is taken to the Gu Mansion, I am afraid that if he gets it, he will find something fishy."

"Besides, if I come here every day, he will probably think that I am doing it to ensure that no one knows about my deal with him, or that I want to watch you take the medicine with my own eyes. He will also think that I am cautious and old-fashioned."

"This will be beneficial to me."

When he was making medicine this morning, he hesitated whether to do this.

He could send enough for a month at a time, and the two of them wouldn't have to see each other every day, so as not to be speechless and only sad.

But he still didn't do it.

Even if He Zhilin knew about it, he still didn't know how to face her when he came to Gu Mansion.

So he tried to convince himself with this reason.

Also use this reason to convince Jiang Xue.

If she hadn't discovered the young man's little thoughts hidden in the umbrella handle before - then don't let her know about them in the future.

He Zhilin lowered his eyes, trying to hide the deep loneliness in his eyes.

Jiang Xue didn't notice.

She was a little worried about He Zhilin.

"Cooperating with Gu Lintan is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger." Jiang Xue said to He Zhilin.

"Brother He, you are not wading deep into the water now, so you can escape unscathed."

"Retreat completely? Where are you retreating to?" He Zhilin asked sadly.

"Leave the capital." Jiang Xue said, "Now that you only know where the mother and son are, Gu Lintan may not be too worried. As long as you leave, this matter will be settled."

"I always feel that Gu Lintan seeks your cooperation not just to keep him quiet."

"If you don't get out now, he will have a deeper grasp on you in the future, and I'm afraid he will use you to do dangerous things."

"Leave the capital..." He Zhilin murmured, "But I don't want to leave the capital now."

He had fled the capital long enough.

At that time, his grandfather ordered him to return to Jiaodong, but two or three years later, he received a letter asking if he wanted to return to Beijing and take up his grandfather's mantle.

He said he was at ease in Jiaodong and did not want to return to the capital.

He Zhilin knew that the umbrella that was sent without any reply was the reason why he never dared to return to the capital.

He was afraid that she would find out, but he was also afraid that she wouldn't find out.

Later, his grandfather died of illness. He traveled around, changing his name and surname, thinking that he was a traveling doctor, but he never set foot in Hebei.

And now, he's back and doesn't want to leave.

There was a look of loss on his face.

Seeing He Zhilin's expression, Jiang Xue thought that he was thinking of He Yuanzheng who was in the capital back then.

She said guiltily: "The capital is where Grandpa He has spent most of his life, and it can also be regarded as your hometown. I can understand that you want to stay."

"If there is nothing you can do, try not to have any further business cooperation with Gu Lintan."

"Take Ruan Yisui with you when necessary, but try not to let him show up in public to avoid being recognized by interested people."

She opened the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, opened her mouth and took it.

"Brother He, I took the medicine."

He Zhilin looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Okay, then I'll leave first."

"Tell Fu Dong your address, and I'll ask Ruan Yisui to look for you later."

He nodded, slightly arched his hands, and walked to the door.

"Your Highness, my grandfather does not blame you." He sighed. "For more than half a year before he died of illness, he occasionally mentioned you and His Highness, wondering whether you were well."

"I won't blame you. Your Highness is in my heart," he said softly, "just like my own sister."

After that, he opened the door and walked out.

In the yard outside the house.

The maids in the inner courtyard stood in several rows. Xiaochun was asking them one by one about their place of origin, experience, and sales office. Fudong stood aside and carefully checked the deed given by Huang Fu. Xianglu was transcribing and writing something. .

Ruan Yisui stood at the courtyard gate holding his sword.

He Zhilin and Jiang Xue walked out of the house one after another, and their movements stopped.

When everyone was about to salute, Jiang Xue waved her hands and said, "You continue."

Then he said to Fudong: "Fudong, come here."

Fudong handed the booklet in his hand to Xiangyu and walked quickly to Jiang Xue in small steps.

Jiang Xue said: "Send Doctor Yan out."

Fu Dong agreed, then glanced in the direction of Ruan Yisui, then looked at Jiang Xue, asking if he wanted Ruan Yisui to follow.

Jiang Xue shook her head slightly and said, "Send the person out first, Doctor Yan still has something to do."

Fu Dong nodded and said to He Zhilin: "Doctor Yan, please come with me."

He Zhilin bowed to Jiang Xue and followed Fu Dong out of the courtyard.

Jiang Xue turned around and went back to the back room. She had the books she brought along with her marriage placed in the room. Now that she had nothing to do, she picked up a travel journal and sat on the couch to read it carefully.

Not long after, Fudong returned to Wenqingxuan and knocked on the door.

Jiang Xue waved for her to come closer and asked softly: "Brother He, did he tell you his address?"

Fu Dong nodded.

Jiang Xue said: "Go and call Ruan Yisui to come in. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Xue put down the book in her hand, feeling a little tired, and stretched out her hand to rub her forehead.

After the matters in the Gu Mansion were almost finished, she had to go back to the palace.

Today, I rashly sent people back to the palace to call all the guards from Changle Palace. She must give an explanation to the queen mother.

Fudong walked to the courtyard and said loudly to Ruan Yisui: "Brother, the guard, has worked hard today to guard the courtyard for us. Your Highness will treat you to tea. Please follow the servants into the house."

Someone among the servants waiting outside the house whispered.

"We haven't even finished a lot of work yet, so we are dragged here to ask questions."

"Who told the noble man above that he can't just do whatever he wants?"

"When Butler Huang bought us, he told us all about our origins. What is the purpose of these repeated questionings?"

When Fudong heard these nonsense, he saw Xiaochun slightly raising his eyebrows at her, and immediately reprimanded:

"When you eat the food in this house, you will do whatever the master orders. If you cooperate and ask the questions early, you can go back to work."

"If you keep twiddling your tongue here and neglecting His Highness's orders, it is possible to sell you all away!"

The maids lowered their heads one after another, and Xiaochun could see clearly that some of them were timid and trembling like chaff, while some of them had disdain on their faces that had just been talking about something.

Xiaochun said: "Today's inquiry is just to ask about your origins according to the rules, so that you can know how to arrange your work in the future."

"If you are honest and cooperative, this matter can be completed sooner."

"His Highness has already given instructions. It doesn't matter whether you have to work today or not. What is important is that there must not be any unscrupulous people left as slaves in the Gu Mansion."

"If you are innocent, you don't need to panic. You can do the work at hand tomorrow. Your Highness will not punish you."

"If you know something that others have concealed, you can tell me privately, and you will be rewarded heavily."

Xiaochun's expression was pale, but she did not lose the majesty of the palace.

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid suddenly heard a voice.

"Girl, these things are clearly written in our deed. Aren't they all in the girl's hands?"

Xiaochun looked over and saw that it was one of the maids who was causing trouble below.

She raised her chin, signaling her to come forward.

"You come first, and you answer whatever I ask."
