BXBX NOVEL Chapter 149 - 149: Someone in the Deputy City Master’s Family Is Seriously Illness
Su Qian, who was about to leave, had no choice but to stop. She gently turned around and bent down to pick Su Qingqing up. “Good Qingqing, be good. I will be back soon. You and Brother should rest early tonight. Mother will take you to buy sugar figurines tomorrow, okay?”
Su Qian coaxed softly. When facing children, she always had endless patience.
Su Qingqing lowered her head, feeling wronged. In the end, she nodded obediently.
“Ye’er, take good care of your sister. 1 will be back soon.” After saying that, Su Qian handed Su Qingqing’s hand to Su Ye. After patting the children’s furry little heads, she turned around and left.
They watched Su Qian leave reluctantly. After she left, Su Qingqing looked at Su Ye pitifully. “Brother, didn’t Mother go to buy medicinal herbs for Qingqing? Then why isn’t she willing to bring me along?”
“Of course, Mother is worried about our safety. Didn’t Mother say it before? That underground city is very dangerous.” Su Ye could not bear to see his sister lowering her head so pitifully. “If you want to go so badly, I’ll take you there. But there’s only one condition. We can only go there and back in one hour. We mustn’t let Mother find out, understand?”
“Okay!” Su Qingqing’s face instantly cleared up and she nodded with a smile. Then, she held her brother’s hand tightly and sneaked out of the house with him.
Meanwhile, Su Qian boarded Xiao Yan’s carriage.
“I’ve helped you inquire and found out that the gathering will start on time at the hour of 9 P.M. There’s a high chance that someone will come to sell the Dragon-repelling Fruit.” Xiao Yan immediately said when he saw Su Qian sitting opposite him.
Su Qian’s eyes lit up. “However, since it’s only starting at 9 P.M., why did Your Highness bring me over so early?”
“In order to find out this information, I used some manpower and found out that someone in the Deputy City Master’s family of the underground city was seriously ill. Qianqian, if you can cure the Deputy City Master’s family, the Deputy City Master will definitely be indebted to you.” Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian calmly, as if he was certain that she wouldn’t reject him. “Don’t you want to try?”
“Of course, 1 want to go.” Su Qian indeed wouldn’t refuse because this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The person with the highest status in the underground city was the City Master. However, the City Master didn’t like to see people. In the past, he had handed over all matters to the Deputy City Master. If she could build a good relationship with him, it would be beneficial to Su Qian.
Su Qian’s answer was within Xiao Yan’s expectations. He smiled and instructed the coachman to speed up. The two of them quickly arrived at the underground city.
They followed the previous route into the underground city, Su Qian pushed Xiao Yan to the main entrance and saw people who looked like stewards standing respectfully at the door. They bowed respectfully to them. “Greetings, Your Highness, Miss Su.”
“Steward Zhou is too polite.” Xiao Yan’s expression was indifferent as he turned to look at Su Qian and introduced, “This is the Deputy City Master’s subordinate, Steward Zhou. He will bring us to the Deputy City Master’s house.”
Su Qian nodded and followed Steward Zhou. She pushed Xiao Yan and quickly arrived at a rare quiet street in the underground city.
There were only a few houses on this street, but it was a forbidden area in the eyes of everyone who came to the underground city.
“Your Highness, Miss, we’ve arrived.” Steward Zhou brought the two of them to the largest house and stopped..
