Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

After Zhi'er learned about Qin Zhong's illness from Baoyu, he guessed the cause of his illness.

Qin Zhong and his sister are still very similar. They both have a very high moral bottom line. If they can't help themselves and make mistakes, even if others don't care, they themselves will not be able to pass the test in their hearts.

Qin Keqing died of a serious illness, so Zhi'er was very worried about Qin Zhong.

But if he just left empty-handed, his condition would not be cured.

Besides, everyone is watching her every word and deed. Even if she wants to escape, there is nothing she can do.

Just when she was anxious and worried, she happened to catch up with Master Jingxu going out.

She made a deal with Wang Xifeng because of Zhang Jinge's marriage accident.

Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang Jin was a rigid person. Seeing that her parents disliked the poor and loved the rich, they married her to two families. Out of grief and anger, he committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam.

As soon as Brother Zhang Jin died, the young masters of the defense family also jumped into the river. The two of them were successful, leaving only Shou Wei, Zhang, and Li's family, all of whom had lost their lives and money.

The Zhang family lost their daughter, the Li family had a deadly feud with the Shoubei family, and the business lost money but gave Jingxu a lot of money, wouldn't they be angry?

Jingxu also feels guilty.

She was really bold. Sister Feng obviously only wanted three thousand taels, but she opened her mouth and asked for ten thousand taels of silver.

Now that something happened, we had to make amends.

Naturally, she couldn't give back the money she got. Her method was just to continue to use the Jia family's prestige to silence several families.

Although this was Sister Feng's fault, it was the old nun Jingxu who took the lion's share of the blame.

Fortunately, this kind of event is a small probability event. They have been doing business for so many years, and it only happened this time.

Jingxu didn't take it to heart, but Jingkong was deeply touched.

She herself was once an innocent and simple woman, but because she couldn't bear the blow of her lover's betrayal, she became even more crazy.

Now that I have seen the true love in the world, my heart softens.

She also knew about Qin Zhong's illness, and thinking about how he protected Zhi'er at that time, she wanted to help Zhi'er.

"I no longer believe that there is true love in the world." Jingkong handed Zhi'er's body deed and the IOU written by Qin Zhong to Zhi'er.

"I'm just tired of doing this kind of thing, and now I want to take a gamble."

"No one will ever look back until he hits the south wall. Now I will give you two choices. One, if you take these to the Qin Mansion and save Qin Zhong's life, his family will also agree to keep you living in the Qin Mansion. ."

"Whether I am a wife or a concubine, as long as you are still alive and well in a year, then I will wash my hands of you and never do these things again."

"Second, if they don't care about you and don't want you, then you will come back, work with me steadily from now on, and destroy the Qin family. Do you dare to make this bet?"

Jing Kong looked at Zhi'er, wanting to see what this young and pretty face would choose.

She felt that the two of them were somewhat similar, both had delicate faces and lives as thin as paper. If Zhi'er can have good luck, then he seems to be liberated as well.

Seeing Zhi'er grab it, and after checking its authenticity, he immediately wanted to escape.

He couldn't help but remind him: "If you go but are kicked out, and you are unwilling to come back, if we catch you from outside the Qin Mansion, we will have no choice but to sell you to the sea."

"You know too many things. If word spreads that you have betrayed us, we will not be able to keep you inside or outside the imperial city."

All smart people know this.

She hopes that Qin Zhong will become an official in high school, naturally because Shuiyue'an needs to secretly control the power of the court.

If Qin Zhong could become an official in the court, he could marry him in the name of monitoring him.

If there is no chance to enter the Qin Mansion...

But at this time, he couldn't care so much. If Qin Zhong died, he wouldn't want to live anymore.

She turned over and rushed into the darkness, only to hear a sigh from the sky.

Zhi'er looked back at her, but Jingkong had already turned around and left.

Why does this embarrassed look look more like he is running away than himself?

Zhi'er walked forward all night, and finally reached the city gate on two legs before dawn.

At this time, Qin Ye had already gone to the government office Yingmao and happened to be not at home.

Zhi'er deceived the concierge and said that he was invited by Jia Baoyu to read scriptures and pray for his friend Qin Zhong, and he was easily let in.

"Neng'er, why are you here?"

Qin Zhong was very surprised when he saw Zhi'er. He hadn't seen Zhi'er for several days.

"Amitabha." Zhi'er winked at him quickly.

Qin Zhong understood immediately. As soon as he ordered the concierge to leave, the two hugged each other.

"How are you sick? Why is it so serious?"

"Neng'er, how did you get here? Will your master punish you to suffer?"

The two asked in unison, both caring about each other equally. Although both of them described themselves as embarrassed at this time, the joy of meeting made people feel even more excited.

"It doesn't matter that I'm ill, it's just a small wind-cold. I've already taken medicine. Neng'er, you're so sweaty, be careful of catching a cold."

Qin Zhong used his handkerchief to wipe Zhi'er's sweat carefully. He felt that his illness was mostly healed after seeing her.

"I escaped, but the master is not in the temple. Here, I know you got sick because of this, don't be afraid, I have already stolen it."

Zhi'er looked at Qin Zhong happily and said, "Don't worry about me. Just take good care of your health first and talk about anything else later."

Qin Zhong was surprised when he saw the IOU he had written.

He had seen how the nuns in Shuiyue Nunnery treated Zhi'er. Now that I saw the IOU, I felt even more uneasy.

"What are you doing? If your master and the others find out... No, Zhi'er, you can't go back. Your master and the others will beat you to death if they find out."

Qin Zhong knew that Zhi'er did this for her own sake, but she would be in danger.

He took Zhi'er's hand and said: "I have been sick since I came back, and I haven't told my father about us yet. But don't worry, when my father comes back, I will definitely tell him, please..."

"Little beast! What are you going to say to me?"

Qin Ye opened the door curtain and saw Qin Zhong and Zhi'er hugging each other out of fright. He couldn't help but get angry.

"Where did you come from, little whore? You don't recite your Buddhist scriptures properly, but you come here to seduce my son. I won't kill you, a troublemaker..."

"No, it's not..." Qin Ye's cane hit him, and Zhi'er could only dodge in a panic.

"No, don't, don't fight! Please forgive me, father! Please listen to me first, she is engaged to me..."

Qin Zhong hurriedly rolled out of bed and anxiously protected Zhi'er.

"what?"

When Qin Ye heard this, he was even more angry, "You guys are talking to each other in private, what kind of engagement? I think you are sick and have lost your head... I won't beat you to death, you unfilial beast!"

When Zhi'er saw Qin Zhong being beaten, thinking that he was still sick, he couldn't help but protect him. In Qin Ye's view, it was like two bastards hugging each other again.

"you you……"

Qin Ye was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

"Father, please take a rest first, you are old..."

"You still know I'm old!"

Qin Ye's angry questioning was trembling. He only had such a biological son when he was in his fifties, and he was really powerless to raise him.

When he was young, due to camp issues, his life was wasted and he accomplished nothing.

After living in poverty all his life, he originally had no intention of having a child of his own, but by mistake, Qin Zhong was left behind.

As for the identity of this little nun, he actually knew better than Qin Zhong, so he couldn't keep her, and his family couldn't keep her.

If she was left behind, the whole family would be dead.
