Chapter 2063: The Same Face
Chapter 2063: The Same Face
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang both knew that Mr. Feng had been here, but they tacitly said nothing after the incident.
The two men found the county magistrate and gave him the prepared antidote for the Black Water Pills.
Feng Huairen and Niu Jinzhi were executed, and the matter of the Black Water Pills was naturally revealed. The county magistrate was originally very anxious, but when he saw Wan Shufang bringing the antidote, he immediately smiled and burst into tears of gratitude.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, madam. With this antidote, the people of Yunfeng County can be saved. I would like to thank you, sir and madam, on their behalf. You are kind-hearted and your kindness to the people will be remembered by everyone."
Hearing this, Chen Changli waved his hand with an indifferent expression: "It doesn't matter. If you want to thank someone, thank my wife. The antidote was prepared by my wife. I didn't contribute much to this matter."
"Yes, yes, madam, your majesty is righteous. This lowly official and the people will never forget it."
"You two should stop interrupting." Wan Shufang smiled shyly, interrupted the two, and looked at the county magistrate seriously: "Sir County Magistrate, you can mix the antidote into the porridge and vegetables, as well as the spring water."
"This time the people have been affected quite a lot. Only in this way can we ensure that everyone can be detoxified."
After saying this, Wan Shufang was still a little worried, and she carefully reminded the magistrate again on how to use the medicine. The county magistrate was also happy that she was so concerned.
He immediately bowed to Wan Shufang and thanked her: "Yes, Madam, I understand. Thank you for your guidance. You and Madam have done a great favor to Yunfeng County, so please stay for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang and Chen Changli looked at each other and readily agreed. Anyway, they were not in a hurry to leave, so staying in the county magistrate's mansion was just enough time for dinner.
Seeing that the two agreed, the county magistrate put away the antidote and went downstairs with a smile to make arrangements.
In the evening, the county magistrate's mansion was bustling with activity.
The county magistrate took the initiative to entertain Chen Changli and Wan Shufang and invited the best singers in the city. That night, both the host and the guests had a great time and they were so happy that they drank a lot of wine.
So Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not return to the inn, but stayed in the guest room of the county magistrate's mansion. Under the influence of alcohol, the two of them were confused and passionate for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.
When Wan Shufang regained consciousness, she found herself in a foggy forest.
She walked deeper into the forest, and at the end of the forest, she saw a woman wearing modern clothes. She couldn't help but shout out: "Niu Jinzhi, is that you?"
But her voice seemed to be hoarse and she couldn't shout at all. Wan Shufang could only get closer to the woman.
"Who are you? You are not Niu Jinzhi. Are you also a time traveler? Why are you here?"
Wan Shufang asked a series of questions. The closer she got to the woman, her throat seemed to get better and she was able to make sounds.
Hearing her question, the woman suddenly turned her head, and that face was exactly the same as Wan Shufang!
Wan Shufang widened her eyes, full of disbelief and even a hint of panic.
"I'm back." The woman said, and suddenly curled her lips, revealing a mysterious smile. The next second, her body disappeared like smoke.
"No, don't!" Wan Shufang woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed, only to find that everything that had just happened was just a dream.
But the face in the dream was so real!
Wan Shufang's forehead was covered with sweat and she was breathing heavily. Her actions also woke up Chen Changli. He sat up and looked at Wan Shufang's frightened appearance. He couldn't help but worry: "Shufang, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Hearing his voice, Wan Shufang suddenly turned around and hugged Chen Changli tightly in her arms.
"Yeah, I had a nightmare." Her voice was muffled, but she did not tell Chen Changli about this bizarre dream.
Seeing this, Chen Changli patted her back gently and comforted her tenderly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you."
"I know, Chen Changli, I'm sorry for making you worry, let's go to bed."
"What are you talking about? Madam, you're having a nightmare and it's my fault. I've made you work too hard these days. I should say sorry." He hugged Wan Shufang, guilt in his eyes.
In Chen Changli's mind, the reason why Wan Shufang had nightmares must be because she was worried about the Black Water Pills and worked day and night, which made her extremely tired and had nightmares.
Feeling his guilt, Wan Shufang felt warm in her heart, and the fear from the dream just now dissipated a lot. She reached out and touched Chen Changli's forehead.
"Then I will punish you to hold me while I sleep, to prevent me from having nightmares again. With the Duke's reputation, I will not dare to have nightmares if you hold me."
When Wan Shufang said this, her face was full of smiles. Knowing that she was comforting herself, Chen Changli also showed a doting smile and nodded.
In the second half of the night, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms and had a good sleep.
But Wan Shufang did not forget what she wanted to do. Early the next morning, she asked Chen Changli to help the county magistrate prepare the antidote. After sending Chen Changli away, she disguised herself as Niu Jinzhi and came to Boluo Cliff alone.
According to what Niu Jinzhi said, she would be able to meet the people behind them at the Boluo Cliff today.
Sure enough, as soon as Wan Shufang climbed up, she saw a woman waiting for her there. Feeling the breathing behind her, the woman said lightly: "You are here."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang quickened her pace and quickly approached the woman, wanting to see her appearance clearly. She was wearing a veil on her face, and although the veil was thin, she could not see clearly from a distance.
But just as Wan Shufang was about to approach, the woman's face suddenly changed and she covered her face.
"You are not her!" she shouted angrily, and without any hesitation, she turned around and left so fast that even Wan Shufang couldn't catch her.
Wan Shufang had never seen anyone so fast. Even if she was a secret guard, she would probably be no match for her. Where did this woman come from, and why did she want to go against them?
Moreover, his disguise skills had never failed, so how on earth did she recognize him?
A series of questions crowded in Wan Shufang's mind, almost making it explode. But now, the man had already run away, and she didn't know how long it would take to find clues again.
"Alas, perhaps this is fate. I am destined not to catch her today." Wan Shufang sighed, trying to comfort herself. But when she thought of that strange dream and this strange woman, she couldn't let it go.
She looked around and made sure there were no clues, then went back worriedly.
When they returned to the county magistrate's mansion, Chen Changli had been standing at the door for a long time. When he saw Wan Shufang, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shufang, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Chen Changli's voice pulled Wan Shufang back to her scattered thoughts. Afraid that Chen Changli would worry, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine. I was just bored and went out for a walk. I also wanted to see how the people were doing. I might be a little tired."
"After all, we are not young anymore, and our physical fitness has deteriorated a lot." As she said this, she lowered her head and pretended to be sad.
In fact, she was hiding all the emotions in her heart. It was all too weird, and she didn't want Chen Changli to worry.
