Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 719 - A Chance Encounter With an Acquaintance

Chapter 719 A Chance Encounter With an Acquaintance

After standing at Lin Mengya’s door for a long while, Qinghu left slowly.
Lin Mengya, who had refreshed herself after a good night’s sleep, saw Qinghu sitting in front of her as soon as she opened her eyes.
“What time is it now?” She asked.
Although Lin Mengya repeatedly teased Qinghu about his overreacting, he could only feel a little at ease by watching over her all the time.
“The day has just dawned. Get up. It’s still early,” Qinghu said.
They had arrived on shore last night, but Qinghu instructed the boatman to stop and waited for her to wake up just because of her words.
Qinghu nodded, let down the curtain and went out to wait for her. After a long while, he heard some rustling sounds from inside.
“I’m done.” Hearing a helpless voice, Qinghu turned around, only to see that she was pulling her slightly messy hair with upset in her eyes.
“I, I can’t do my hair. Can you help me?” Lin Mengya stared at Qinghu pitifully like a child and said.
Qinghu suppressed his gloom. Probably because her fingers were no longer flexible, she was even incapable of such a simple thing.
“Okay, let me help you. Sit down.” After saying that, Qinghu settled her in front of the dressing mirror and gently combed her hair.
Soon, the woman with messy hair in the mirror had a brand new look.
Her face, as big as a palm, became delicate and charming.
With her hair done in a bun popular among young ladies nowadays decorated with only a few hairpins made of red coral, she looked vivacious with smooth skin.
“Do I look good?” She asked.
She rarely dressed like this. When she was in Prince Yu’s Mansion, she was always dressed as a noble and dignified lady.
Now she was more pleased with being dressed casually.
“Yes, you are only slightly inferior to me,” Qinghu said.
She rolled her eyes at this guy with annoyance, wondering what made him so confident.
Glancing at herself in the mirror, she slowly stood up with Qinghu’s help.
“Maybe I shall not go?” Lin Mengya said apologetically.
She, who moved with difficulty now, could fall carelessly and walked at a particularly slow speed.
If she went with Qinghu, it might delay him.
Unexpectedly, Qinghu smiled slightly, picked her up, and gently put her, who was struggling slightly, on something.
“This is...” She, who sat in a wooden wheelchair in surprise, said. She didn’t see Qinghu prepare this before, and nor did she expect that her condition would worsen so quickly.
Unexpectedly, Qinghu had prepared everything properly.
She was touched, while wickedly wondering if he had looked forward to the day, when she could not walk, long before!
She stuck out her tongue, thinking she should hide this thought. Otherwise, Qinghu would definitely think that he even suffered more serious injustice than Dou’e did!
“Let’s go! Rest assured that no one has discovered that you’ve gone. Even if it’s discovered, the news won’t spread to Yang City so soon. Even he won’t be able to figure out our route this time,” Qinghu said with a smirk.
He had always been keen on making things difficult for Long Tianyu.
Moreover, this time they were going to travel both by water and by land.
Although it would make their trip more difficult and troublesome, it would save them a great deal of time and make it difficult to track them down.
Not to mention that Long Tianyu was delayed by the affairs in the Capital City, even if he went all out to track them down, it would be a difficult job for him.
By the time Lin Mengya and Qinghu went ashore, the day had completely dawned.
Lin Mengya sat in the wheelchair, letting Qinghu push her from the dock that gradually became bustling to the street.
She took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of breakfast.
Perhaps because there were traveling merchants visiting Yang City all the time, the pedestrians only cast a few glances at them despite their ravishing appearances.
Nevertheless, it was not annoying.
“Lass, let’s go to the stall Fuji for their fried buns. Have a taste and try to find the difference between them and those made in our kitchen,” Qinghu suggested.
Knowing that Lin Mengya had no appetite, he still tried to recommend some local specialties to her.
Lin Mengya nodded. Although she was not hungry, she was attracted by the tempting fragrance in the air.
Pushed to a medium-sized stall and seeing the pot of white and big steamed buns, even Lin Mengya could not help drooling.
“Young lady, have a taste of my fried buns!” Perhaps seeing Lin Mengya’s amicable look, the stall owner said in an exceptionally enthusiastic tone.
Seeing her nod, he quickly picked up six fried buns for her.
However, just when Lin Mengya was about to eat, a man in a dark blue robe suddenly sat opposite her and said, “It’s you! It’s really you!”
Lin Mengya, who did not intend to raise her head to say hello, suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Qinghu, who was watching over her behind her like a ravening tiger, became displeased with the man’s sudden appearance.
From the corner of his eyes, he, who was quite sharp-eyed, noticed that those he brought seemed to have been trapped in the crowd by some people intentionally or otherwise.
How could it be such a coincidence? Unless someone was behind this!
“No matter who sent you here, leave immediately, and I can let you go!” Putting away his kindness to Lin Mengya, Qinghu immediately said and glared coldly at the man in front, who looked surprised, like a fierce wolf protecting its cub.
He didn’t expect trouble to come knocking on his door after he received the warning last night.
Had these people really forgotten his bad reputation as a merciless man?
“I think you’ve misunderstood. Guards, fall back. This lady saved me before. Don’t act impertinently,” the man said lightly in a very pleasant voice without affected familiarity.
He, who had been a little excited at the beginning, now became properly polite.
Lin Mengya raised her head with interest, but unexpectedly, she failed to recognize the man in front of her.
She asked, “Have you mistaken me for someone else? I’ve never met you before.”
The man in front of her looked amicable. Although he was neither as cold as Long Tianyu nor as delicate as Qinghu, his geniality made it difficult for her to dislike him.
He was not tremendously handsome, but he was refined and handsome with a clean face. Even Xiao Yixin, the most talented scholar in the Capital City, was not as steady as him.
Lin Mengya thought it over, but still failed to recollect she had met such a person before.
“Miss, it’s reasonable for you to forget me, as I acted impertinently when first meeting you. Back then, I had to threaten you out of the desire to get away from those assassins. Thinking about it now, I am really ashamed of what I have done,” the man said sincerely with an apologetic look.
Lin Mengya suddenly remembered that she had met such a person the day when she hung out with Qinghu in the red-light district in the Capital City.
Nevertheless, she had just taken a quick glimpse at the man, coupled with the dim candlelight back then, so now she didn’t recognize him at once.
“It turns out to be you. It’s fate that brought us here. But please don’t mention what happened before. My brother is grumpy. I have to leave now,” Lin Mengya said.
She had only met him once, and they were not very familiar with each other.
But since they were acquaintances, she could let out a sigh of relief temporarily.
Hearing their conversation, Qinghu glanced at the man coldly and was about to push Lin Mengya away.
However, after a moment of hesitation, the man glanced inadvertently at Lin Mengya, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, “Wait a moment! Miss, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to pester you and just want to repay you for your help. You saved my life before, so now, I should do all I can to help you. You seem to have difficulty in walking. I happen to have brought a proficient doctor with me, and I think he can help you.”
Lin Mengya didn’t want to have any contact with such a person. Both his manners and costly clothes showed that he was not an ordinary person.
In this year, she had learned a profound lesson that generally speaking, this kind of person would bring her a series of troubles.
Therefore, it was better to leave now to avoid unnecessary trouble.
“Thank you for your kindness. I just feel a little uncomfortable, so my brother advised me to use a wheelchair. There is no need to bother your doctor. See you,” Lin Mengya said.
Then Qinghu continued pushing Lin Mengya away quickly.
“Master, shall I go and inquire about them?” One of the man’s followers asked.
Seeing the two of them leave, the man in blue clothes became lost in thought.
He had an intuition that the woman and her brother were definitely not ordinary people. But he, who had to perform his task, just shook his head slightly and said, “I hope we will meet again one day.”
The man, who was quite free-spirited, didn’t pester Lin Mengya. Instead, he turned around and left with his followers.
Qinghu pushed Lin Mengya pretty far away in one breath, and he didn’t stop until his subordinate mingling with the crowd reported that the man had left.
“Okay, I got it. You may leave now. Be careful. If you find anyone following us, just kill him.” Qinghu gave an order.
He was tremendously wary of the man, who had just appeared.
The members of the Candle Dragon Cult were very cunning. Since last night the man said that Lin Mengya’s secret might have been exposed, it meant that they would take action soon, so he had to beware of them.
“I’m too unlucky to hang out on the street. I was disturbed even before having a fried bun. I’m upset and want to eat fried buns!” Lin Mengya pouted and said in a rare pettish manner.
