Chapter 294: Your granddaughter is doing well
Gao Yi, who was beside Mr. Xue, was very skilled in martial arts, and he always hoped that all his guesses were wrong.
"Grandpa, let me let you taste the breakfast I made today," Xue Qing said with a smile on his face.
After Xue Zhong finished his training, he took the silk towel brought by his personal servant, wiped his sweat and walked towards Xue Qing who was sitting in the pavilion: "Girl, you are so filial today!"
Xue Qing stood up, took the silk scarf used by Xue Zhong, and handed it to the servant following behind him.
I caught a glimpse of a strange look on the boy's face.
After Xue Zhong sat down, Xue Qing took out the soup, shredded potatoes, and pancakes from the lunch box one by one.
He served Xue Zhong a bowl of soup, then served himself a bowl. He took out a pancake, wrapped it with shredded potatoes and handed it to Xue Zhong.
Xue Qing saw Xue Zhong took the potato burrito without hesitation and put it directly into his mouth and took a big bite.
He swallowed it in one gulp and pointed at the shredded potatoes on the plate: "What is this? It tastes very unique."
Xue Qing had just rolled it and hadn’t had time to eat it yet: “I found this by chance when I went to the Western Regions. It was buried in the soil. I was so hungry that I wanted to eat its leaves, but I accidentally pulled it out. I tried to roast it and it tasted good, so I brought it back. I thought since it was dug out of the soil, I might as well call it potato.”
Xue Zhong did not ask Potato any more questions after hearing this, but instead asked her why she was so hungry: "Why are you so hungry that you want to eat grass?"
Xue Qing saw genuine concern in his eyes: "I was being hunted and fled to the mountains, so it was a blessing in disguise that I found this."
After taking a sip of the soup, he looked very happy and winked at Xue Zhong: "Am I really lucky?"
Xue Zhong felt sad. He put down the roll in his hand, stood up and turned his back to Xue Qing. Xue Qing saw Xue Zhong raising his head, wondering if he was looking at the scenery in the distance.
Guilt filled Xue Zhong's heart.
Xue Qing looked at his back and the smile on his face disappeared.
After a moment, Xue Zhong turned around and sat down again. Without saying a word, he picked up the burrito and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
The two of them ate the burritos and drank tomato and egg soup in silence.
The servant brought the food box down, served some tea, and then left.
Xue Qing poured a cup of tea for Xue Zhong: "Old man, why don't you ask me why I was hunted down?"
Xue Qing had always been like a lively and smart child in front of him, but at this moment he saw on Xue Qing's face the indifference that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Even when facing thousands of enemy troops, Xue Zhong had never felt as nervous as he did now.
Xue Qing looked at Xue Zhong's changing expression, and a feeling of sadness suddenly surged in his heart.
Xue Zhong asked with concern in his eyes: "Girl, why would someone chase you?"
Xue Qing shook her head. "I grew up in Anyang. I was sold from Renyi Village to Shilibao. I went to the Western Regions a while ago. How could an ordinary farm girl like me alarm such a skilled assassin to kill me? I am also very curious!"
After saying this, he looked at Xue Zhong expressionlessly.
Xue Zhong clenched his fists: "Girl, I will arrange a few people to protect you"
Xue Qing was stunned for a moment. It was different from what he expected. "Of course, but I don't have that much money to support them. The people around you must have a very high monthly salary, right?"
Xue Zhong smiled kindly: "You don't need to give them monthly money, just cook me a few more delicious meals."
Xue Qing finally relaxed: "It's nothing, but I can't cook for you anymore. I'll go to the capital after I settle my family down in a few days."
Xue Zhong was shocked when he heard this and blurted out: "You can't go to the capital"
Xue Qing immediately asked: "Why?"
Xue Zhong realized that he had said something wrong and wanted to make amends quickly: "You are going to the capital, who will make me some delicious food?"
Xue Qing: "Isn't your home in Beijing? It's a good opportunity for me to visit you."
"Do you have any important business to do in the capital?" Xue Zhong asked.
Xue Qing said calmly: "Go find the person behind the scenes who is hunting me down, and then kill him."
Xue Zhong felt a chill down his spine after hearing these few light words.
"Girl, how do you know that the person chasing you is in the capital?"
"guess"
Xue Zhong......
"Girl, are you kidding? How can a child like you..." Xue Qing said what Xue Zhong couldn't say.
"How can we kill the person behind this?"
Xue Qing poured a cup of tea for each of them and said, "As long as we find out, we can kill him. But I want to find out Xia Xueqing's identity first."
Xue Zhong lowered his eyelids and looked at the tea in front of him.
"What have you found out now?" Xue Zhong became serious unconsciously.
Xue Qing sensed his change and stared at him closely: "My good sister turned out to be the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chenguo in Beijing who was lost more than ten years ago. I heard that the Duke of Chenguo also has the surname Xue."
Xue Zhong's beard trembled slightly: "I am...Zhenguogongfu..."
"You are the old Duke," Xue Qing was already very sure at this time.
Xue Qing sneered: "You are here to see if your granddaughter has been bullied by me, your elder sister, in the Xia family. I believe you should have investigated it clearly. The whole family treats your sister as a priceless treasure and she has not suffered any grievances. You can return to the capital without worry."
Xue Qing stood up after saying this and said, "Goodbye, see you later!"
He turned and left the pavilion.
Xue Zhong didn't know how to explain to her for a moment and watched Xue Qing leave.
His eyes were red, and his thin back was blurred and full of loneliness. His clenched fists conveyed the pain in his heart!
Xue Qing felt sad for the original owner. That lovely and kind little girl was abandoned in this world.
Xue Qing went directly to Baicaotang to see Doctor Xie.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xue Qing asked, "How is Doctor Xie now?"
Doctor Xie stroked his not very long beard and said: "The old injuries in his body will take some time to recover, but there is a kind of medicine in his body that supports him and makes his originally exhausted body glow with new vitality. Now he looks no different from an ordinary person. As long as he takes proper care of himself, his body will soon recover as before."
"Thank you so much for the doctor's careful treatment! I want to meet him."
"Please follow me." Doctor Xie personally took Xue Qing to the backyard.
When Xue Qing met Zhao Da, he was tending to herbs in the backyard.
Doctor Xie walked over and patted Zhao Da who was working with his head down: "Zhao Da, Miss Wu is here to see you."
Zhao Da suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Qing standing outside the herb field. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he saw a soft light emanating from Xue Qing's whole body.
"Miss Wu" Zhao Da threw down the hoe in her hand and strode out of the herb field.
"Pinggong" immediately knelt down in front of Xue Qing.
Xue Qing was startled. He was not used to people kowtowing to him, so he quickly helped him up: "No need for such a big ceremony, get up quickly."
