Chapter 111 Sister Qinghan is so good at this!
As they continued on their journey, Yin Ziping's true energy was completely exhausted, and this time she was truly carried on Gu Qinghan's back. The two women quickly began to address each other as sisters.
To be honest, Gu Qinghan prefers Yin Ziping to Wei Qing.
Zi Ping is eloquent, endearing, and understanding, unlike her stern-faced younger sister Wei Qing.
Moreover, both of them spoke with great cultural sophistication, constantly complimenting each other in business, and were also well-versed in literature.
Both women are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Moreover, the petite and dependent Yin Ziping makes Gu Qinghan feel a sense of affection for her younger sister. By the time the two arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they had become best friends.
Gu Qinghan was disheveled, her hair was a bit messy, and Yin Ziping behind her was also a bit disheveled. Although the two of them liked to be clean, they couldn't care less about anything in the emergency.
Most of the people in the courtyard were dismissed by Xu Tianyi to work, and Wei Qing also set off to various counties with his own inspectors to supervise them.
He strode into the inner courtyard, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Ji Yingying sitting on his lap, feeding him medicine.
Gu Qinghan and Yin Ziping were stunned.
"Fine! I rushed off to find a doctor for you, and here you are, all lovey-dovey, huh! Does medicine need to be taken orally?!"
Yin Ziping blushed when she saw it.
Ji Yingying blushed even more: "He...he said that feeding the medicine mouth-to-mouth would make me recover faster, it has nothing to do with me..."
Gu Qinghan snorted coldly: "Xu Tianyi, you're not a child anymore, can't you be a little more mature?"
Enraged, Gu Qinghan glared at them, while Ji Yingying and Yin Ziping fell silent, trembling with fear.
Xu Tianyi wasn't afraid; he had plenty of experience dealing with Gu Qinghan.
"What do you mean 'be more mature'! This is called sharing joys and sorrows!! This medicine is incredibly bitter, you try taking a sip yourself and let me see!"
Gu Qinghan was really angry. She stepped forward, snatched the medicine from Ji Yingying's hand, and took a sip.
"Ugh... Ugh... What's that smell..."
The taste was so bitter that it went from her tongue to her throat, and Gu Qinghan didn't dare to swallow it and spat it out directly.
Seeing this, Ji Yingying couldn't help but chuckle, and Xu Tianyi and Yin Ziping also laughed.
Zi Ping glanced at Xu Tianyi secretly and thought to herself that he looked so-so.
He immediately turned and walked towards Gu Qinghan.
"Sister Qinghan, I have a Sweetening Pill here. It can eliminate bad breath and freshen your breath. Please try it..."
Gu Qinghan quickly swallowed it, and after a moment he felt much better.
She took a deep breath and stared at the two of them.
"You can drink something this bitter?"
Xu Tianyi was laughing when he suddenly felt pain inside his body; it was truly a case of pain and pleasure at the same time.
Ji Yingying explained, "We drank from a different bowl..."
Gu Qinghan looked down and sure enough, there was a small bowl in the corner.
But she dared not drink it anymore; she had a psychological trauma from it.
"Ziping, why don't you give it a try..."
Yin Ziping: "..."
Seeing her hesitation, Gu Qinghan immediately crossed her arms and said, "We'll share joys and sorrows, good sisters."
Yin Ziping glanced at Gu Qinghan cautiously, her expression a mixture of grievance and embarrassment.
"We just faced life and death together, and now you're backing down when you encounter difficulties?"
Upon hearing Gu Qinghan's question, Yin Ziping revealed a resolute expression, strode forward, picked up the small bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Qinghan smiled with satisfaction.
But her smile froze the next moment.
Yin Ziping smiled broadly: "Wow, this syrup is so sweet, there's not a single impurity..."
Seeing her eyes crinkle with joy, and then noticing Xu Tianyi and Ji Yingying smirking, she suddenly realized, "So I'm the only one who doesn't know anything, huh?"
"They actually teamed up to trick me, take this!"
She flipped herself onto the bed and straddled Xu Tianyi.
Then, with a swift movement of her right hand, she condensed the bitter medicinal soup into an ice pop and stuffed it directly into Xu Tianyi's mouth.
"Ugh... Heh... Li... Li, pull it away... Heh... Cough cough cough... Oh, I'm angry..."
Gu Qinghan snorted coldly: "Getting angry is useless! Do you know I was almost killed by that Ma Luping!"
Xu Tianyi lost interest in playing.
Gu Qinghan also threw away the bitter popsicle and turned over to sit next to him.
"Didn't you say you were very capable and had him under control? I knew he was no good a long time ago!"
Xu Tianyi: "Ugh... I... Ugh..."
"Ha...haha...don't say that when you're being so serious..."
Gu Qinghan was amused by him again and slapped his blanket...
Seeing that he still looked uncomfortable, Gu Qinghan blushed slightly, lowered her head and kissed him, putting the candy she hadn't finished eating into his mouth.
"Wow... Sister Qinghan is so talented..."
Ji Yingying whispered disdainfully, "Tch, and you're the one talking about me? You're the one being manipulated by him..."
"Hmph, shut up, all of you!"
The room was filled with laughter.
Xu Tianyi felt much better after swallowing the sugar pill.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at him when she heard his voice: "What, not pretending to be dead anymore?"
Xu Tianyi cleared his throat, preparing to speak.
Yin Ziping looked at him with some curiosity.
This frail patient was completely different from the confident and authoritative man he had been before.
I thought he would be very powerful and authoritative, but now that I see him, he looks average, and he's rather casual and even a bit comical. He doesn't look like a powerful official who controls the lives of millions of people at all.
He was about to speak, and in Yin Ziping's imagination, he would speak fluent and authoritative Mandarin, but Xu Tianyi spoke in a plain and straightforward manner.
"I was also at fault in Ma Luping's matter."
He was the first person to join me, but I didn't give him a very important position.
To put it simply, I was going to use him, but he secretly made contact with the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Moreover, these days, when I asked him to learn governance from me, he was extremely perfunctory.
In his eyes, becoming a high-ranking official meant he could do whatever he wanted, bully and dominate the market, become a superior person, not have to do much work, eat lavishly every day, and socialize with all sorts of high-society figures.
But after my policies were implemented, he realized that if he continued to help me, even if the crown prince restored the country in the future, he would still have to become an official under my rule.
Working from dawn till dusk every day, having to undergo performance reviews every month, constantly being reported for wrongdoing, and still not necessarily getting a high salary.
Of course he wouldn't do it.
He stopped working much a month ago, and even though Wei Qing took his position, he was happy to enjoy his life.
After a while, he lost his income, and when he wanted to work, I didn't want him anymore.
He had no choice but to rebel.
Xu Tianyi sighed silently at this point.
Gu Qinghan frowned: "You mean, you forced him to rebel?"
Xu Tianyi was speechless: "What do you mean by forcing him to rebel? It's his own fault for not taking the right path."
I transferred you away, thinking he would come to ambush me, but I didn't expect him to come to find you.
You know, I was only with Yingying and some ordinary martial arts guards by my side just now, which was my weakest moment. I really don't know whether to call him smart or stupid.
Gu Qinghan felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this.
