Charm King Poison Queen Chapter 171

Chapter 171 The Lone Star of the Fiend (1)

If she remembered correctly, Qiuxiang's father had rheumatism, right? Can rheumatism patients be treated in the same way as throat patients? However, maybe this is a cure-all prescription. Dongmei decided to let the doctor see it early tomorrow morning before making any plans.

Qiuxiang found Ma Jingyan by the lotus pond in the back mountain. He was sitting on the grass with a barbecue grill in front of him. Several fish were rolling on the flames, exuding a tempting aroma.

Gulu~

Qiuxiang's stomach growled. After a busy day, she didn't seem to have had dinner yet. Pursing her lips, she walked over and bowed: "Fourth Young Master, the medicine... There is still a pack left in my room." As she spoke, she handed over the medicine pack in her hand.

Ma Jinyan took the medicine bag and put it in his arms, and handed her a fish: "Taste to see if it is cooked."

"...Yes." Qiuxiang took the fish skewered on a skewer in her hand, and lightly took a bite of the crispy yellow belly of the fish. It was so fresh and tender that it melted in the mouth, with a hint of sourness in the salty taste. Spicy, really delicious, "cooked...cooked."

Ma Jinyan smiled lightly rarely, the Ma family has good genes, male and female looks, they can't compare with the evildoers of the Xuan family, but they are also well-known in the capital. His smile immediately gave Qiuxiang the illusion that all the flowers were in full bloom.

Qiuxiang was stunned.

Ma Jinyan said: "You can't stop stuttering when you talk to me? Are you like this in front of others?"

Qiuxiang's face flushed red, she usually doesn't stutter, only when she is nervous or guilty.

Ma Jinyan saw that she was extremely embarrassed, so he said nothing more, took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom, and said, "I'm not used to being indebted to others, so don't make an arrogance to buy me medicine again."

Qiuxiang looked at the money, and didn't pick it up immediately, but said: "You...you need money urgently now, I...I still have some..."

Ma Jinyan frowned thickly, and forced the money into her hands: "Are you asking me to live on the charity of a maid?"

"Ah!" Qiu Xiang's face turned pale, "No... no... no, I... I didn't mean that... Fourth Young Master, you misunderstood... I... I just really... want to help you..."

Ma Jingyan sneered mockingly, and threw her a palm-sized peach wood box.

Qiuxiang was stunned for a moment, then opened the box, and inside was a very delicate bead flower, cushioned with silk, high-end atmosphere: "This is..."

Ma Jinyan took a bite of the fish and said, "It's your reward, you can also take it as a thank you gift."

Qiuxiang wanted to reject it, but seeing Ma Jinyan's ice-like expression, she couldn't say a word.

After Ma Jinyan finished eating one fish, he picked up another one, as if remembering something, and smiled slightly: "When I was young, I used to come to the lake to grill fish with my eldest brother. To eat, we ate secretly. The eldest brother was in charge of fishing in the water, and I was in charge of roasting... I used to hear people say that all those who drowned could swim, but I didn't believe it until my eldest brother died in the moat..."

Speaking of this, his voice lowered.

Qiuxiang sat down beside him, helped him grill the fish on the grill, and asked, "So you have such a good relationship with the young master."

Ma Jinyan wiped the corners of his eyes casually, and said casually: "Did you hear someone say that I had a tough fight with him?"

Qiuxiang was silent. It was true in the mansion that the eldest young master was eccentric, self-respecting and noble, and only loved the third lady very much. But seeing how sad the Fourth Young Master is, it must have been misrepresented by the people in the house, right?
