Chapter 277 He Arrived

, she tidied herself up and went out, then told Er Ya to buy some steamed soup dumplings from the alleyway in the back street. The soup dumplings were made by an old neighborhood shop owner, authentic...When Qin Luoyan returned to her room to rest, she suddenly discovered a figure sitting by the bed. Startled, she was about to cry out when she heard a familiar voice. 。 "It is this king 。Fu Zimu's voice sounded languid in the night, especially now that his mood seemed to be out of sorts. 。Qin Luoyan only then breathed a sigh of relief, took out her fire starter and lit the lantern before she got to the bedside and asked: "It's so late, why are you here"Fu Zimuo gave her a meaningful glance, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, "I heard there was a murder here, so I came to take a look." 。He said it lightly, but when his hand touched hers, she still felt the chill that radiated from him. It had only been an hour or so since the incident, and a normal carriage would take half a day to travel from Wuxuan王府 to here. He arrived so quickly, he must have traveled without stopping, which is why his hands were chilled by the wind. 。Qin Luo'yan was as delicate as dust, and in an instant, she thought of these things. A wave of emotion arose in her heart, and she couldn't help but grasp his hand and gently place it on her cheek. She used her cheek to press against his rough palm, as if she wanted to dispel the chill from him with this action. 。"You...are you worried about me" She swallowed nervously, asking softly. 。Worried Fu Zimuo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't directly answer her question. Instead, he took the lead and gently rubbed her cheek, "Are you scared" She knew he was asking if this murder had frightened her, so she shook her head, "I'm much colder-blooded than you think. I've killed people too" 。" She would never have imagined in her previous life that she would one day become a killer. But now, she felt a sense of relief. If killing was necessary for self-preservation, she would rather choose to kill than to die by suicide. 。It's fine. 。"Fu Zimo said this, still took out a lacquered box from his bosom and tucked it into her arms. "But it's better to be safe than sorry. This ginseng, you go to the kitchen tomorrow and have someone help you stew it." 。“ Ginseng” Qin Luoyan found it amusing. She opened the box to see a shriveled, palm-sized ginseng wrapped in three layers of red cloth inside and out. It was clear that the ginseng’s owner cherished this thing dearly, “You came to see me, bringing ginseng Are you worried I might get hurt, so you prepared in advance” Unfortunately, Fu Zimo obviously wouldn't admit to this. His ingrained pride wouldn't allow a woman to strut her tail feathers before him triumphantly, so he merely said indifferently: "Don't underestimate this ginseng. Although it’s small, it’s thousands of years old..." 。"A thousand-year ginseng…" Qin Luoyan was amazed, thinking that a thousand-year ginseng was something only found in myths and legends. Myths said that ginsengs that lived for a thousand years would become spirits and could even run around." 。But for some reason, since Fu Zi Mo said so, she just believed that the ginseng must have been a thousand years old. 。Her heart was filled with warmth, Qin Luoyan smiled and carefully put away the ginseng. Then she took the initiative to sit on Fu Zimo's lap, looked up at him and kissed his cheek. She originally just wanted to cheer him up, after all, he had run so frantically for most of the night to see her. 。However, her dragonfly-like kiss was clearly not enough to satisfy someone. Before she could fully retract her red lips, he pressed her down onto the bed the next second. 。“Mmm…” Qin Luoyan wanted to speak, but her mouth was covered, so she could only make muffled sounds. She opened her eyes and glanced at the bright lantern, and in the next instant, someone impatiently waved their hand, and the lantern went out. 。In the darkness, Qin Luoyan went from initial struggle to later surrender in just three seconds. 。After all, they are an old married couple. There's not much to struggle with in this kind of situation, especially after what happened in the forest—that ambiguous encounter with another man. She was even more ashamed and therefore more proactive than usual. 。At this point, she finally believed the saying: the more a man cheats, the better he might treat his wife at home. Perhaps that kindness was just to make up for his guilt and indebtedness in his heart. 。After daybreak, the sound of gongs rang out in the courtyard. This was the method used by the call-drummer to wake up everyone every morning. 。When Qin Luoyan woke up, she felt like her bones were about to fall apart. After being tossed around by Fu Zimu, who had transformed into a ravenous wolf, she was exhausted and only fell asleep just before dawn. 。The bed was already empty. Fu Zimo came in a hurry and left as quietly as he had arrived. 。Looking at the bed he had just made, with the sheets still faintly creased from where he lay, she couldn't help but reach out and smooth out the wrinkles. A smile softened her features, a tenderness she hadn't even realized was there. 。"Qin brother, are you awake" Lao Liu's voice appeared outside the door. 。"Awake, Liu Gege please wait a moment, I'll be out soon." 。Qin Luo'yan quickly replied and then tidied up before coming to open the door. 。Lao Liu saw that she was hale and hearty, and his heart settled. "Oh, Brother Qin, I heard about the death here this morning and rushed over. Thankfully you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to the superiors." 。" Lao Liu lived in the inner courtyard. After last night's incident, he blocked the news, so it's not surprising that he only received the news this morning. " 。"It's nothing, just that this time the only silversmith who came to take the assessment was killed." 。When Qin Luoyan spoke, she came to the open space in the courtyard with Lao Liu. 。A considerable number of people had already gathered in the open space. Qin Luoyan carefully looked over and saw that each person participating in the assessment had an experienced artisan standing beside them. People continued to come out of the house one after another. 。An official was already waiting ahead, seemingly waiting for everyone to gather before he had something to say. Taking advantage of this waiting time, Qin Luoyan chatted casually with Lao Liu. 。"By the way, Lao Liu, do you know who recommended that silversmith" She always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, but many people still believed that someone had killed their competitor last night. 。Lao Liu nodded and said, “I have no other problems, just that I love to gossip. That silversmith is said to be the eldest son of a family of craftsmen from the south. He inherited his family's craft, and their family still has some influence in their hometown. It’s rumored that the silversmith’s grandfather came out from Tianji Pavilion.” 。"The Heaven's Mechanism Pavilion" Qin Luoyan didn't expect to hear about the Heaven's Mechanism Pavilion here, and couldn't help but pay more attention. 。"Yeah, that's the mysterious and powerful Tianji Pavilion. Among craftsmen, Tianji Pavilion is considered the best, no one dares to compete with it. Qin brother is also a craftsman, you wouldn't have heard of Tianji Pavilion, would you" Old Liu said 。If you like "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan", please copy and paste the following link to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!() : b/23/23838/ ()I...have I disappointed you Senior brother is dirty, isn't he"Big brother, you're very dirty, rightIn a single sentence, Qin Luoyan's eyes welled up with tears.
