In the past month, in addition to Su Li and Qu Lu, there was another person who lived a very comfortable life. That person was the former Xiangzhu of the Hehuan Sect, Qu Lu.
Leaning against the escalator on the third floor, Qu Lu looked at the bustling drinkers and waiters downstairs. Compared with the time when she just came, she was more relaxed and relieved and less worried.
The Linli Building didn't go back on their words. They didn't ask her to do anything in the past month. Just yesterday, Qu Qingning sent the antidote of the Hongchen Powder. After a night of torment, the poison accumulated in her body for many years was eliminated. The effect was immediate and scary.
"Even if Mr. Li is very knowledgeable, it is impossible for him to expel the poison of nearly ten years so quickly. The antidote used must be extraordinary."
Qu Lu sighed and guessed. In this world, human life was the most worthless. Although she wanted to say that she was precious, she also knew that the value of the antidote used by "Mr. Li" was probably more than her own value.
"Such an important favor, but Mr. Li didn't mention it. I was worried that he would regret before. I was really a villain who gauged the heart of a gentleman."
Qu Lu smiled bitterly. At this moment, Fang Ling came upstairs with a plate and said with a smile, "Sister Qu, what are you doing? It's time to drink the medicine. "
Qu Lu saw her and quickly took the hot medicine bowl. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Fang Ling."
The medicine was fierce and detoxified all the poison. Qu Lu was inevitably hurt. The medicine that Fang Ling brought was for her to recover.
"You are welcome!"
Fang Ling smiled and shook her head. After Qu Lu drank the medicine soup, she took the medicine bowl and was about to go downstairs. But Qu Lu's voice came from behind.
"Miss Fang Ling, please wait."
"Is there anything else, Sister Qu?"
Fang Ling looked back with doubt. Qu Lu hesitated. Finally, she walked quickly to Fang Ling and asked in a low voice, "Miss Fang Ling, do you know what the antidote that Mr. Li gave me yesterday is made of?"
Fang Ling looked strange and answered naturally, "Sister Qu, you baffled me. There are so many kinds of elixirs that Mr. Li refined, and the prescriptions are even more complicated. How can I know how to refine the antidote you took?"
Fang Ling's answer was within Qu Lu's expectation, but she was still disappointed.
Fang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly. Thinking of her brother's instructions, a sly look flashed in her eyes. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Sister Qu, the prescription of the elixir is Sir's secret. It's wrong to inquire about it. However, I saw that when Mr. Li refined the antidote for my sister, my brother took something into it! "
Qu Lu's thoughts were immediately aroused. She couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"Full Moon and Heart Strings!"
"What?!"
Fang Ling says it out loud. Qu Shi is so scared that she widens her eyes and almost has a cardiac arrest.
Mr. Li, the culprit of that bloody storm, let her eat it?!
"Oh, I didn't say complete. It's just a shell of the Full Moon and Heart Strings." Fang Ling added with a smile, rolling her eyes, "I heard from my brother that Sir sacrificed a lot in order to peel off a layer of the outer shell to detoxify you."
Hearing that, Qu Lu's heart was in turmoil. She was extremely complicated.
She believed Fang Ling's words.
Anyway, she stayed in the Hehuan Sect for nearly a long time. If the Full Moon and Heart Strings, such a miraculous thing, was destroyed, it would not be complete. Even if it was still effective, it would be limited.
In order to fulfill his promise, Mr. Li gave up the Way of the Zifu?
Qu Lu's mind was overwhelmed by guilt almost instantly. She was stunned and didn't come to herself for a long time.
Fang Ling saw that Qu Lu had such a big reaction and was slightly shocked. It seemed that she had said too much.
"What are you doing?"
A slightly helpless voice came. Fang Ling looked up and saw Su Li dressed in cyan clothes. She was not surprised. Since Su Yue was pregnant, Su Li ran to the Linli Building more often. She was embarrassed and vomited. Then she turned and ran away.
She said so much just because she felt guilty for Qu River's sake!
Both she and her brother didn't have a good impression of Qu Shi.
Although the relationship between Qu Lu and the Linli Building was just a transaction, Qu Lu was too narrow-minded. Obviously, Sister Li had said it so clearly, but Qu Lu still doubted it. If she felt comfortable, it would be strange.
Looking at Fang Ling going away, Su Li shook her head slightly. With Fang Ling's courage, she wouldn't say that. It was probably Fang Yuan's idea.
"Qu Lu, come up and see me."
Hearing Su Li's call, Qu Lu came to herself and went upstairs anxiously. She sat down beside the chair in front of the table.
"You don't need to worry about what Fang Ling said. The Full Moon and Heart Strings is not as serious as you think."
Su Li's first sentence was to comfort her. But when she said that, Qu Lu's face was more guilty. Obviously, she misunderstood Su Li and said that to comfort her.
Su Li was more helpless. She shook her head and took out a thin piece of paper from the drawer. It was full of small words.
"Well, I have news about your brother. As for whether to recognize him or not, you decide."
"Is there news about my brother?!"
Qu Lu trembled when she heard that. She couldn't care about anything else and took the paper carefully and eagerly.
"Ling Qinglan, 18 years old, was adopted by Ling Feng, the second son of the Ling Family, after the extermination of the Yi Family fourteen years ago. He changed his name to Ling Qinglan. After that, he lived a carefree life for ten years until Ling Feng died suddenly … Now he is the Chief of the Supreme Judiciary and is in charge of the Supreme Judiciary. Since he took office, he has been investigating the clues of the outstanding cases on the pretext …"
Qu Lu didn't read much and her eyes were blurred. Tears dripped down her cheeks. When she saw that Ling Qinglan had been tracking down the murderer all these years, she couldn't help the sadness in her heart and burst into tears.
Su Li looked indifferent and watched Qu Lu crying. She didn't stop her or say anything. She only heard the rhythmic tapping of her fingertips on the edge of the table.
After an hour, the crying in the room gradually stopped. Qu Lu's eyes were swollen, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. She grasped the paper in her hand tightly and asked expectantly,
"Mr. Li, can I … go to see him now?"
A smile appeared on Su Li's indifferent face. She nodded slightly and said meaningfully, "The murderer of the extermination of the Yi Family is still at large. If you want to save Yi Mo's life, you'd better guard against others."
Qu Lu's face changed immediately and she worried about the safety of her brother. She absent-mindedly said goodbye and left the attic.
After three days, Qu Lu didn't go out. Fang Yuan, who knew the inside story, was surprised.
On the fourth day, Qu Lu found Fang Yuan with a pale face and whispered, "Protector Fang, I want to see Mr. Li again. I don't know …"
Fang Yuan was a little annoyed and said coldly, "Mr. Li has fulfilled his promise. It has nothing to do with you. You can't see him. If you can, please leave these days."
Qu Lu was anxious immediately, but Fang Yuan shook his head and left directly.
It was Su Li's order to let her leave.
This woman's heart was in a mess.
"Mr. Li will definitely help me."
Qu Lu bit her lower lip and whispered. She clutched her chest with one hand and seemed to be out of breath. Living in the Linli Building for more than a month, she was used to the discussion of "Mr. Li", but she forgot that the careful care was all because of the "deal".
After a while, Su Li came back from the Zhouyue Winery. She flew directly to the top floor and didn't appear in Qu Lu's eyes.
Qu Lu, or Yi Xue.
This woman was as smart as Ling Qinglan, but her experience made her have the heart of a weak person. She couldn't think independently like Ling Qinglan.
In other words, Qu Lu had a sense of dependence on the Linli Building and Su Li now.
If she was not Yi Mo's sister, it would be a good thing. Su Li let Qu Lu live in the Linli Building to feel peaceful. She wanted to absorb Qu Lu into the Linli Building and use her.
But since she knew that Qu Lu's brother was Ling Qinglan, she immediately dispelled this idea.
After all, Ling Qinglan was a member of the Yinmo Cult. He was the only relative of Qu Lu. After they recognized each other, Qu Lu was likely to expose the Linli Building to the Yinmo Cult, which was unacceptable.
Therefore, Qu Lu needed to be beaten!
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly. She wanted Qu Lu not to mention anything about the Linli Building even if she went back to Ling Qinglan.
Although this process might not be very good for Qu Lu. But … it had nothing to do with her.
If it weren't for Ling Li, she might not let her recognize Ling Qinglan. The relationship between her and Qu Lu really didn't arouse her sympathy.
Compared with the previous life, she was more humane in this life. There were many partners around her who worked hard with her. After three years, she just got rid of the most annoying Zhu Yan. She also untied the knot in her heart and got together with Ling Li again. But … all these didn't mean that the influence of the previous life on her was reduced.
In her bones, Su Li was still the cold-blooded devil that ordinary people couldn't accept. She would do anything to achieve her goals.
…
It was still cold in February. In the East Courtyard of the Ling Mansion, Ling Li leaned on the wheelchair and basked in the sun. He was more worried than before.
These days, he didn't pay special attention to Su Li's whereabouts, but he noticed that Su Li disappeared for a period of time every few days. During this time, she never mentioned where she went.
Ling Li couldn't help but think of the young man in cyan who always smiled.
"No, Li won't lie to me."
Ling Li got rid of the distractions, but he felt bitter in his heart. He knew that he was too nervous about Su Li, so he felt worried about gains and losses.
But knowing was one thing, and feeling was another.
"Master, you are not in a stable state of mind. Is there anything bothering you?"
Ling Xian's gentle voice sounded in his ears. Ling Li came to his sense and turned his head to see a pair of gentle eyes. He immediately moved away uncomfortably and changed the topic, "Why didn't Xiaomo and Qinglan come today?"
Ling Xian looked at Ling Li who turned his back. Her eyes were no longer gentle, but full of gloom. But her tone was still gentle, "Ling Mo heard that there were clues, so he immediately went out of the city to investigate the Wanjian Sect. Master Qinglan went to the Supreme Judiciary in a hurry."
"In a hurry." Ling Li's eyes flickered slightly, "Is Su Qingtan going to come out of practice?"
