The man was surprised that Qin Yun was so straightforward, thinking she was just another person who would inquire about the price and then leave.
What surprised him even more was that someone would take a fancy to that useless brat!
Hong Fu, standing behind, was also full of questions!
When buying her, there was all sorts of haggling, so why wasn't there any haggling here?
Looking at the thin, bony, small man not far away, Hong Fu narrowed her fox-like eyes and observed him carefully!
Why was this person worth three thousand taels!
Her master wasn't even haggling!
She was extremely curious!
After observing all the men on the scene, Hong Fu noticed that as long as the thin man had no injuries, besides being thin, he didn't look abused at all!
She was a bought and sold slave, and naturally knew how difficult those days were!
If she was never bought, she would be beaten every day until the next owner bought her!
If she met a good master, she would live a peaceful life, but if she met a bad master, her fate would be to wither and die!
Slaves had no right to love, nor the right to marry!
But a single sentence from her master just now reignited her hope!
In the blink of an eye!
Qin Yun bought the thin man she had chosen!
"Do you have a name?"
The man shook his head, saying nothing.
Qin Yun frowned. "Seeing your tattered green clothes, I shall bestow upon you the name Qingshan!"
The man still said nothing, and nodded!
Qin Yun thought to herself, had she bought a mute?
"Open your mouth!"
Qingshan complied!
Qin Yun held Qingshan's mouth and looked left and right!
He had a tongue!
Then she took Qingshan's pulse!
After a while, Qin Yun frowned slightly!
This person was poisoned!
And it seemed quite severe! His life was less than a month away!
And he was still sold for three thousand taels when he had less than a month left!
Qin Yun suddenly felt a pang of regret for the silver!
But then she thought, she could cure this poison!
She couldn't miss such a talented person, she had to save him!
"You are poisoned with the Heart-Devouring Toxin. I, this young master, can cure it and guarantee you live to be a hundred years old!" Qin Yun said confidently.
As soon as she said this, Qingshan finally looked up and examined Qin Yun carefully!
This person could tell he was poisoned?
Seeing the confident look on the person before her, Qingshan was unconvinced!
What if she could tell? He had taken so much medicine, and there was still no improvement. This person was just bragging!
He was a dying man, and hearing such comforting words before he died was enough.
Knowing that Qingshan didn't believe her, Qin Yun wasn't in a hurry to explain!
Time would prove everything!
"Come with me!"
Qin Yun took the two of them to a secluded residence. Upon entering the residence, she said, "You two will stay here for now. I've already paid the rent for the house!"
Qin Yun took out two banknotes from her person, one for each of them, and handed them over!
"Go buy some decent clothes later, don't embarrass me!" After saying that, Qin Yun prepared to leave!
Hong Fu stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Master, what do you mean?"
"Didn't I just say it? Don't you understand?"
Qin Yun rubbed her forehead and said, "As expected, there's a difference between three thousand taels and five hundred taels!"
As soon as she said this, Hong Fu immediately shut up!
Qin Yun didn't say any more, turned around and left!
The next day!
Archery competition!
The students participating in the competition today were all capable in both literary and martial arts!
Qin Yun looked at the dashing noble young men on the equestrian field, feeling quite upset!
Because of the injury on her shoulder, she couldn't even mount a horse now! If she couldn't hold the reins, it would be a major taboo in riding!
Regarding this matter, Qin Yun specifically reported to Xie Qianmo. Xie Qianmo knew that Qin Yun was injured, so he didn't force her, only asking her to sit and watch!
Since she didn't participate in the archery, all the students looked at Qin Yun with strange eyes.
Some even suspected that Qin Yun was faking her illness!
"Why doesn't Qin Yun have to participate in the archery? Can't she ride?"
"She just got third place in the poetry competition a few days ago, and now she's not participating in archery. She's truly willful!"
"Qin Yun can't ride at all. Even if she participated, she would be at the bottom, ranked E. I heard that Ouyang Siqing taught her horse riding personally yesterday! She's truly useless!"
Qin Yun had a headache at this moment!
What these people said was not wrong, she couldn't find any reason to refute it!
The only flaw in this body currently was that she couldn't do martial arts or archery!
Even if she participated in the archery, she would be ranked E, and everyone would surely laugh at her!
It was better to just be like this, doing nothing!
Let others gossip as they pleased.
There were many people participating in the archery today. Besides the students from various academies, even several other princes and princesses participated!
Looking at Xie Zixuan in his archery attire not far away, Qin Yun touched her chin and began to ponder!
Seeing that everyone was busy with their own affairs, Qin Yun quietly got up and went to the stable.
She found a reliable stable hand, gave him a silver ingot, slipped him a note, and whispered a few words. The stable hand then quietly left the carriage! Qin Yun looked around and then walked back.
At the corner!
Qin Yun met the Grand Princess Xie Yuanxiang, who was coming from the opposite direction!
Seeing that it was Xie Yuanxiang, Qin Yun held her forehead. It was really a case of "what you fear most will happen."
"Qin Yun? What are you doing here?" Xie Yuanxiang said with a cold gaze, her eyes full of provocation!
"Grand Princess, since you can come to the equestrian field, why can't I?" Qin Yun retorted!
Sometimes she really suspected that this Grand Princess was just an ignorant fool, believing rumors!
"How dare you! To speak to our Princess like this!" The maid beside the Grand Princess said forcefully.
Qin Yun coldly glanced at the maid, then said to Xie Yuanxiang, "Grand Princess, you are truly majestic. No matter who it is, you are so rude and unreasonable when you meet them?"
"You scoundrel, what are you? How dare you speak to me like this!"
"Guards, slap her!" Xie Yuanxiang glared at Qin Yun fiercely, not taking her seriously at all.
"Grand Princess, if you dare to touch me today, it might be difficult to explain to His Majesty. I was invited by the Emperor!"
Hearing that the Emperor had invited Qin Yun, Xie Yuanxiang frowned!
She knew a little about the temperament of this third brother! If Qin Yun was truly invited by him, this matter might be difficult to handle!
"Jingxiang, go and inquire about the situation with His Majesty."
"Yes, Grand Princess!" The maid named Jingxiang turned and headed towards Xie Qianmo.
"Just you wait! If you are lying to this Princess, you will have to face the consequences!"
Qin Yun ignored Xie Yuanxiang! This person only bullied the weak and feared the strong!
Xie Yuanxiang stood with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, wishing she could rush forward and punch Qin Yun a few times!
The two of them stood there, wasting time. After an unknown period, the maid named Jingxiang had not returned. Xie Yuanxiang became impatient!
"What's going on? She's been gone for so long?" She said to another maid. "Go and see."
"Yes, Princess!" The maid was named Jingxin, which suited her personality. She had been quiet from beginning to end!
However, she returned shortly after leaving, her expression flustered. "Grand Princess, something's wrong, something's wrong!"
