Chapter 159 Bystanders
Entering the room, Li Ziyan saw Zhao Junning lying on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, and as lifeless as a broken jade bottle.
Li Ziyan's steps became unsteady, as if he would fall to the ground at any time, but he still walked to the bedside. He sat on the bedside, gently holding Zhao Junning's hand, staring at the hideous scars left by the bamboo sticks, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.
He slowly leaned over, touched his lips to her hand, kissed it softly, and murmured to himself: "It's only been a few days since we last met, how come you've become so thin? What a silly girl..." At this time, Fuling walked into the room with a basin of hot water, saw Li Ziyan sitting by the bed, and said softly: "Master, you're back."
Li Ziyan turned his head and looked at Fuling, his eyes full of fatigue and helplessness. He whispered to Fuling, "I just came back to see Jun Ning. I will leave before dawn. During this time, please take good care of her for me. She must be in pain now... Give me the medicine, I will apply it to her."
The atmosphere in the Qin residence was extremely tense.
"Who told you to send someone to hurt her!" Qin Zhuoyuan was furious and kicked He Jue fiercely. He Jue was caught off guard and was kicked backwards and fell heavily to the ground, but he did not dare to complain at all. He immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Master, calm down. I did create this chaos according to your instructions, but... that woman was not arranged by me."
Qin Zhuoyuan's eyes were wide open, and his body was emitting a biting cold air, as if he was going to freeze the whole room. He stared at He Jue, his eyes flashing with anger and disappointment.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded: "Master Qin, why are you so angry? I actually arranged for someone to do this."
Qin Zhuoyuan turned around abruptly, his eyes shooting at the person who was speaking. He saw a young man walking slowly towards him with a faint smile on his face.
"Who are you?" Qin Zhuoyuan asked coldly.
The man smiled and introduced himself: "I am Qian Runzhi, the son of the former county magistrate of Lucheng, Liangzhou."
Qin Zhuoyuan looked up and down at the man named Qian Runzhi in front of him, wondering in his heart: Who is this man? Why did he attack Zhao Junning?
At this time, He Jue also stood up, walked behind Qin Zhuoyuan and asked softly: "Mr. Qian, I wonder what kind of hatred there is between Zhao Junning and you that caused you to go to such great lengths?"
Qian Runzhi said: "My parents' hatred is irreconcilable. Although my father once embezzled public funds, he eventually returned them in full. However, Zhao Junning's business in Liangzhou is booming, causing my mother's shop to be deserted.
One day, my mother wanted to find her to discuss cooperation, but Zhao Junning was so arrogant and didn't want to cooperate with my mother at all.
My mother got so angry that she wanted to teach her a lesson, but Zhao Junning came up with a bunch of reasons from nowhere, which made my parents very unhappy.
So, they went to consult with their old friend Keleermu. Who could have expected that the couple were both from a family of military commanders! Later, Keleermu was defeated in the battle, and in anger, he killed my parents. How could I not avenge such a blood feud? "
Hearing this, Qin Zhuoyuan, who always had ulterior motives, was shocked and said, "That being said, your parents' death is ultimately their own fault. If they hadn't colluded with foreign enemies, how could they have ended up like this? Even if Kelermu didn't do anything, they would have been killed for colluding with foreign enemies! What does this have to do with Zhao Junning?"
"Lord Qin actually likes Zhao Junning? It really surprises me that Lord Qin likes a married woman! After all, there are so many outstanding women in this world, why do you fall in love with her? I think this Zhao Junning must have extraordinary charm to attract so many men to fall in love with her." Qian Runzhi asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Qin Zhuoyuan saw that the other party had guessed his thoughts, so he no longer concealed it and simply admitted frankly: "I just like her, what's wrong with that? Since you already know my feelings for her, you should understand that touching her will touch my bottom line."
Qian Runzhi knew that he came here to discuss cooperation with Qin Zhuoyuan and must not anger him, so he smiled and said, "It is indeed my fault that I failed to discipline my subordinates and my subordinates did not do their job well. I actually offended the person that Lord Qin loved. I am really ashamed. I have executed the offender to show my sincerity to Lord Qin. I believe that it will not be long before you hear about the death of the old woman."
Seeing Qian Runzhi being so tactful, Qin Zhuoyuan couldn't help but feel more favorable towards him. He thought that this man was quite interesting, so he asked, "Why are you looking for me today?"
"Although my abilities are limited, I have always longed to work together with Master Qin. I am determined to get rid of Li Ziyan. As for Zhao Junning... I can leave her alone for the time being, but as for Li Ziyan, I will never let her go easily!" Qian said with a firm look.
Qin Zhuoyuan raised his lips slightly, took a sip of tea, then slowly put down the cup, stared at Qian and said, "Oh? I didn't expect that Li Ziyan is quite capable. He has attracted so many people to stare at him. It's really enviable!
However, whether you can successfully put it to death depends on your own ability. Of course, this matter has nothing to do with me directly, I am just a bystander. "After saying that, Qin Zhuoyuan picked up the teacup and took another sip.
