Chapter 166 Caught Again
Four or five days passed peacefully like this, and a new batch of cosmetics came out of the workshop.
Mrs. Qin's shop has been doing a booming business recently. Cosmetics have become the store's signature products and are in great demand. When she heard that a new product was out, she agreed to have it delivered to the store the next day.
Because they had lived together before, Zhao'er's lessons were all taught by Wang Weiyuan himself. After Wang Weiyuan passed the imperial examination and was appointed to an official position, Jinchu knew that their relationship as master and disciple would soon end.
Later, a series of changes occurred, and Wang Weiyuan also transformed into Zhao Huaiqing, the legitimate son of the Jingchuan Marquisate. And after his confession to Jin Chu was rejected, the possibility of the siblings getting closer to the Jingchuan Marquisate and Zhao Huaiqing was even more impossible.
Therefore, it is time to find another teacher for Zhao'er.
At this moment, Qin Yanran came to the door.
When she learned that Jinchu was going to find a teacher for Zhaoer, she immediately suggested that Jinchu send Zhaoer to study in her family's private school.
The private school at the Ge Lao Mansion was far superior to ordinary private schools, so Jin Chu was immediately attracted by the proposal. However, considering the relationship between the Qin family and the Jingchuan Marquis Mansion, she became hesitant.
After a long pause, she hesitantly asked, "I'm sure you know about what happened between me and the Marquis of Jingchuan. The Marquis's wife must be very displeased with me. If my Zhao'er goes to study at the mansion again, will this make her unhappy?"
Qin Yanran answered affirmatively, "No, it's because my aunt loves her son so much that she's a little cold towards you. My mother told my grandfather about this, and he told her to feel free to interact with you.
He also said that he couldn't profit from you and then draw a clear line with you. Our family doesn't interfere in the affairs of your aunt, cousin, and you, and she, a married woman, can't interfere in the affairs of the head lady of her family.
After saying this, Qin Yanran smiled and relaxed: "Sister Jin'er, don't underestimate my grandfather. Although he is old, his ideas are not old-fashioned at all.
He also told my mother that it is not easy for a girl like you to take care of your younger brother Zhao'er, so let your mother take care of you more if she can!
Inviting Zhao'er to study at my private school is the first step for your mother to take care of you."
These words were so sincere and frank that Jin Chu couldn't help but feel truly touched.
So she stopped refusing and secretly decided to send Zhao'er dozens of bottles of cosmetics every month, which was a disguised way of paying Zhao'er's tuition.
Ever since Zhao Huaiqing returned to Jingchuan Marquis Mansion, Qin Shijun has never set foot in Jinchu's home again. This time, Qin Yanran came here in a car sent by the mansion.
The two agreed to send Zhao'er to the Qin residence to study in five days, and chatted about some matters related to cosmetics. By the time they finished, it was almost noon. Qin Yanran refused Jinchu's invitation to stay for dinner and climbed back into the carriage to return to the residence.
After solving Zhao'er's schooling problem, Jinchu felt a lot more relieved.
Although the Qin Mansion extended an olive branch because of the win-win cooperation between her and the eldest lady, Jin Chu was not an rude person. She immediately called Huanyan and repeated the Qin Mansion's good intention of accepting Zhao'er to study.
Huanyan was delighted to hear the news, and the two sisters agreed that Huanyan would take cosmetics to Madam Qin's shop tomorrow, while Jinchu would go out to the street to choose some suitable gifts. They would then send them together when Zhao'er went to study at the Qin residence, thus fulfilling the proper etiquette.
Early the next morning, Huanyan hired a carriage to deliver the cosmetics to Madam Qin's shop, while Jinchu went to the street alone to pick out some gifts.
When she left the bustling street with the gift in her arms and entered a quiet alley, she suddenly felt a strong wind blowing. Jin Chu subconsciously turned her body, but was still held down tightly on the shoulders by two fists from both sides.
Jin Chu, who was struggling to get free, had a thick layer of silk cloth covering his nose. A strange fragrance suddenly rushed into his nose. Jin Chu felt his head sink, and the next moment his eyes went dark and he lost his intuition.
Two burly men lifted the unconscious girl into a carriage not far away. Another man quickly picked up the gifts on the ground and carried them away. The coachman turned the carriage around, whipped the horse, and galloped towards the entrance of the alley.
All that was left were the broken clay inkstones on the ground, indicating that someone had been there.
The ticking sound of the clepsydra kept ringing in my ears.
The girl with a splitting headache had her eyelashes trembling for a few times, and finally opened her eyes as clear as water. The unfamiliar environment came into view. Jin Fu closed her eyes again, and when she opened them again, she saw a familiar figure not far away.
Why is it him?
Jin Chu's heart was shaken, and his originally hazy eyes instantly became clear. His hands under the quilt subconsciously clenched, and his lips slightly pursed.
Li Zhongxian, who had watched every move, stood up and took two steps forward, looking down at the girl on the bed with an undisguised smug smile on his face: "Miss Jin'er, I hope you are well since we last met in Lincheng!"
Jin Chu was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled: "Master Li went to great lengths to capture me and bring me here, surely it wasn't just to greet me, right?"
Even though he knew that this woman was cunning, Li Zhongxian was still dazzled by her smile just now.
This girl, whether in appearance, figure, or personality, was exactly what he wanted. If it weren't for his eldest brother and the interests of the family, he would definitely not be willing to give this girl away.
Last year in Lincheng, this girl managed to escape with a trick, leaving him unable to find her anywhere. He had no choice but to hastily pack up the other two girls he had prepared and send them to the capital.
Unfortunately, the two sisters only had beautiful faces but lacked some cleverness and cunningness. When they came into the hands of the noble man, they were only interesting for a month or so before being forgotten by him.
The eldest brother's original beautiful hope of using these two girls to get closer to the nobleman was now shattered into a beautiful dream. In anger, he even wrote a letter to Lincheng about this matter, reprimanding him, blaming him for not considering the big picture and not doing his job well, and finding two wooden beauties to do things perfunctorily, so that he was busy but ended up with nothing.
Whenever he thought of this, Li Zhongxian was so angry that his teeth ached. He also secretly vowed that if he met this woman again, he would never let her have an easy time.
Now that he has finally caught her again, he will definitely not let her have a chance to escape a second time.
Thinking of this, Li Zhongxian glanced at the girl on the bed and said with a confident smile, "Miss Jin'er, I thought I was considerate to you in Lincheng before, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning and cunning. You dared to deceive me and escape, and fooled me completely. I, Li Zhongxian, have lived for more than 30 years, and today I was deceived by a teenage girl like you and made it so embarrassing--"
He paused, grabbed the girl's jaw, and a malicious grin spread across his face. "Little girl, why don't you guess how I'm going to punish you this time?"
