Time is slow

   Chapter 271 Findings

  Qiao Zhao turned his head.

   Under the sun, a man with a rare face seems to be able to shine, and his gestures are the focus of the world.

  Qiao Zhao stood up and greeted with a calm expression, "Brother Chi."

  Chi Can strode over, and when he was about to approach, he seemed to remember something, and stopped: "Shao Mingyuan is not in the mansion, why are you here?"

   The scene just now, Mr. Chi felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

  The girl was guarding the fire and talking to the guard standing with her hands in awe, as if the mistress of the house was taking care of the housework while waiting for her husband to come back.

   Does she think this is in her own home? This cheeky girl!

   "I'm making medicine for General Shao." Qiao Zhao said generously.

   Chi Can took a slight sniff, full of medicinal fragrance.

   He raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Does the big champion Houfu not even have a woman who can make medicine, does he need you to come and make medicine?"

  Qiao Zhao lifted the lid of the casserole and glanced at it, then sat back on the small shovel and said calmly, "Others can't cook it as well as I can."

   "You really care!" Chi Can was so angry that he wanted to pick up the dead girl in front of him and teach him a lesson, but he couldn't bear it, so he sat down on the steps next to him with a sullen face.

  Qiao Zhao was full of thoughts about his brother going to the yamen, so he didn't have the heart to argue with Chi Can. Hearing his ridicule, he felt irritated, and said lightly, "I always pay attention to my patients."

   "So, do you treat other patients the same way?"

  If this is the case, then he will find this girl when he gets sick again.

   "Of course not, it's only my patients that I care so much about." Qiao Zhao seemed to have guessed Chi Can's thoughts and smiled, "But I don't usually see a doctor."

  Chi Can: "..." This dead girl must have done it on purpose!

   "General Shao is not in the mansion, Brother Chi—" Why didn't you leave?

"I knew he was going out today, but I didn't expect it to be so early." Catching the girl's slightly surprised eyes, Chi Can explained lightly, "It's not that the minister of the Ministry of Punishment has come back, he has brought back the results of the fire in the Qiao family, and Tingquan will definitely accompany him. With his uncle and brother to the yamen to inquire about the situation."

   After he finished speaking, he frowned: "What kind of eyes do you have?" Do you think that he has nothing to do all day, and is bored to come to Shao Mingyuan to fight crickets?

   "Oh, so that's the case." Qiao Zhao felt a little skeptical.

   Probably because Chi Can was too good, and his temperament was uncertain, she would always forget that this man with picturesque eyebrows was actually half a member of the royal family. In the most complicated place in the world, how can you be completely heartless?

  Chi Can rested one hand on the porch, raised his eyebrows and asked Qiao Zhao, "You come here every day and no one cares at home?"

   The girl's family should be good at embroidering at home, what's the matter with her running to the champion's mansion every day?

   "My family is very enlightened." Qiao Zhao replied.

For Mrs. He, it’s good for her daughter to be happy; for Li Guangwen, it’s good for her daughter to play chess with him; for Mrs. Deng, her granddaughter is smart and reliable. Okay, so the granddaughter is still happy; for the second wife Liu Shi, whoever provokes the third girl will be unlucky, and maybe there is also the little shrimp who was innocently affected. Of course, the third girl is happy.

   As a result, Miss Qiao, who was in disrepute and had no boudoir reputation, was completely free.

   Chi Can snorted coldly and stopped talking.

  Qiao Zhao was happy and quiet, sitting by the small stove with his chin up, thinking about his thoughts.

  Time passed slowly, and when the guards came to change the ice basin for the seventh time, Chi Can finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Sit down!"

"Um?"

   Chi Can frowned: "I said sit down, why are you guarding a stove on a hot day? Aren't you afraid of getting prickly heat?"

   "There is an ice tub, but it's not too hot."

   "All those ices were blown by the strong wind, free of money?"

   This prodigal girl doesn't know how distressed she is when she sees the ice changing from one basin to the next?

   Doesn't it mean that the girl's family is well-mannered, who can afford her in the future?

  Child Master Chi was angry and thought silently: Maybe it's time to find an errand.

  Qiao Zhao got up to see that the medicine was almost boiled, and instructed Chenguang to bring the medicine into the house, then left the small stove and sat down not far from Chi Can.

   Seeing that his face was always dark, Qiao Zhao asked uncertainly, "Brother Chi is worried about money for General Shao?"

   Is this person too worried? She has been Shao Mingyuan's daughter-in-law before, and she has never felt so distressed.

   Besides, I just used a few pots of ice, she doesn't need it, who knows which one will be cheaper in the future?

   "What do I feel bad for, it's not my money!"

  Qiao Zhao smiled: "I think so too."

  Chi Can: "..." Shao Mingyuan, come back soon and hear how shameless this girl is, she's taking you as a slaughter.

   As he was thinking so, there was another movement in front of him.

   "General—"

  Qiao Zhao hurriedly stood up and saw Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Mo walking over side by side.

   Her eyes first fell on Qiao Mo's face.

  Qiao Mo didn't see much expression on his face, his expression was solemn.

  Qiao Zhao went to see Shao Mingyuan again.

  Shao Mingyuan also didn't have much expression on his face.

  Qiao Zhao secretly clenched his fists.

   What is the result of the matter, I can't guess from the expressions of my eldest brother and Shao Mingyuan.

   Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Mo quickly approached.

   Seeing Chi Can there, Shao Mingyuan smiled: "Shi Xi, you are here."

   "Yeah, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Chi Can glanced at Qiao Mo.

  Qiao Mo nodded slightly to Chi Can, and his eyes fell on Qiao Zhao.

   Qiao Zhao pursed his lips.

   The eldest brother said that yesterday, and seeing her coming again today, he will definitely be more wary.

   Sure enough, Qiao Mo just nodded slightly to Qiao Zhao, and then said to Shao Mingyuan, "I'll go back to my room and have a cup of tea first."

  Qiao Zhao stared at Qiao Mo as he walked away, without even turning his head back once, his heart seemed to have been beaten several times by a small whip dipped in salt water, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

   Fortunately, after a sleepless night, she has been able to calmly suppress this discomfort.

   She raised her eyes and smiled at Shao Mingyuan: "General Shao, the medicine is ready, I'll bring it."

   "Thank you Miss Li."

  Qiao Zhao turned around and went into the house to bring the medicine. When he came out, he heard Chi Can ask, "What happened to the fire at Qiao's house?"

   She paused, held her breath, and stopped in place with the medicine bowl in her hand.

  The wind blew, but Qiao Zhao felt that the surrounding atmosphere was frozen, as if time was frozen at this moment.

   "According to the investigation, the fire started in the kitchen of Qiao's house, where the fire was the most serious. The current result is an accident."

Accident?

  I don't know why, after hearing the word "accident", Qiao Zhao didn't feel that the dust had settled in his heart, instead he had an unbelievable thought.

   How could it be an accident? Her parents and family were all gone because of an accident like a fire in the kitchen?

   Tears fell at some point and fell into the medicine bowl, causing small ripples.

   Shao Mingyuan seemed to have a feeling and looked up.

  Qiao Zhao hurriedly suppressed the water in his eyes, walked over with the medicine bowl in his hand, and said calmly, "General Shao, drink the medicine first."
