If You Want (Update 1)

After Lao Mu went berserk, Qi Jun and Liandong moved the cart of things he brought back to Yuanming Pavilion.

Because Old Man Bai made poison every day when Su Liang was not at home, and accumulated a considerable amount of poison, Qi Jun and Liandong decided to store it carefully to avoid being discovered by outsiders, so the two secretly dug a tunnel in the house. From the underground of Yuanming Pavilion to the back door of the garden, a secret room was expanded in the tunnel, reinforced with bricks and stones, and specially used to store the finished poison made by Old Man Bai.

What Lao Mu brought back was Old Man Bai's half-life collection, most of which were highly toxic or rare medicinal materials. Qi Jun and Ling Dong wore gloves and carefully moved them into the secret room and put them away.

After they finished their work, Yan Yu arrived.

She also received a letter from Nian Jincheng. She was worried when she learned that something happened to Su Liang and Gu Ling was missing.

When Yan Yu heard that Li Dong said that Su Liang's master had gone to find a way to save her, Yan Yu didn't relax. But she is just a weak woman and can't help much.

For safety reasons, Yan Yu moved into the Su Mansion that day and lived in the same courtyard as Lonicera.

At nightfall, Duanmu Chen and Chang An secretly came to find Qi Jun and asked if there was any other news from the house.

Qi Jun said no, and asked Chang'an if the emperor and the prince had any countermeasures to rescue Su Liang.

Chang'an said that his master would do his best, and if there was any news from Su Mansion, he must inform him in time.

Qi Jun didn't think Chang'an was perfunctory, because he knew that Su Liang had a lot to do with Duanmu Chen's current status. During the day, news had spread in the city that the emperor of the Liang Kingdom was actually the son of incest caused by an affair between King Situ Xie of Yue and the Queen Mother. The people were in an uproar for a while, and the news was spreading at an extremely fast speed.

Qi Jun knew very well that this must have been released by the palace and sent people to spread it.

Later, Lin Shuzhi, his two sons, Xing Yusheng, and Mr. Qin all came over to inquire. When they learned that Su Liangzhen had been arrested by Liang Guo Xizuo, they were all angry and worried.

Everyone would ask about Gu Ling, Qi Jun only said that he went to save Su Liang, and he didn't know the rest.

…

However, Su Liang can roughly predict how the capital will react after receiving the news based on the time, and that Lao Bai at home and Lao Mu, who should have returned as expected, may go against the Liang royal family because of her.

But now she is on an unknown mysterious island and cannot escape. She is powerless to do anything about the people and things outside, so she doesn't think about it too much. She just wants to live well and try her best to "attack" Qiu Cong, hoping to leave this place as soon as possible.

Qiu Cong set off for shopping after breakfast that day. Su Liang, Nangong Qian and her maid Qiu Yue were the only ones left on the island.

Su Liang originally thought about building the kitchen she planned yesterday before it rained, but when she looked at the pile of thick bamboos and thought about Qiuyue, who had trouble working with delicate skin and tender meat, she gave up.

Su Liang was reading a book with the window open for a long time. He heard Qiuyue scream "Ah" and looked up to see her jumping down from the stone platform of the well. The well's windlass was turning rapidly, and she was obviously dragged down by the bucket.

Su Liang: ...Is this girl a maid or a rich lady?

She closed the book, opened the door and walked over.

Qiuyue saw Su Liang appearing beside her and subconsciously took two steps to the side.

Su Liang: ...are you afraid of her, or are you feeling guilty?

However, Su Liang was too lazy to talk. He went forward and fetched a bucket of water. He turned around and asked the stunned Qiuyue, "Do you want to wash clothes or boil water?"

Qiuyue reacted, with a look of gratitude on her face. Then she suddenly thought about the bad relationship between her young lady and Su Liang. She froze, her face looked weird, and her tongue was tied, "Wash... wash the clothes!"

"Wash your clothes by the well, and dry them on the low pole over there." Su Liang carried the bucket to the laundry area under the stone platform. There was a smooth stone slab for washing clothes, and there was a drainage channel. ditch.

Qiuyue nodded quickly, "Hey...thank you Miss Su."

Su Liang expected that they had some soap for washing clothes, so she didn't ask. When she crossed Qiuyue and returned to her room, she said, "Call me if there's not enough water." It was very dangerous to fetch water from the well if you were too weak. You may be dragged in accidentally.

After Qiuyue responded, she looked at Su Liang's back, pursed her lips, and wrung her hands together.

In the meantime, Su Liang helped fetch two more buckets of water, and Qiuyue finished washing and hanging the clothes. She also fetched a bucket of water and carried it to the simple stove, intending to use it when cooking.

Nangong Qian's pink gauze skirt fluttered in the wind on the bamboo poles, which was very inconsistent with the fresh and natural colors of the entire yard.

Qiuyue wiped the sweat from her forehead, went back to the room, closed the door and window, and walked to the bed. She saw Nangong Qian's eyes closed and thought she was asleep. She was about to turn around when she heard Nangong Qian speak, "Grandpa said there was no food. Let me have porridge for lunch, can you cook this?"

Qiuyue's face froze, and she nodded bravely, "This slave will..."

"Very good. As I said last night, you should know how to do it." Nangong Qian's words were full of hints. Afraid of Su Liang eavesdropping, his voice was very soft.

In fact, Su Liang was concentrating on reading at this time and didn't care what the master and servant were doing behind closed doors.

"Miss, I still feel..." Qiuyue's face turned pale and she grabbed her clothes with both hands, "Can you think of another way?"

Nangong Qian's face darkened, "Are you in trouble?"

Qiuyue trembled, "No...no."

"Go." Nangong Qian closed her eyes again after finishing her words.

…

The sun is rising, and the air after the rain is a bit stuffy.

Su Liang finished reading the first book Qiu Cong brought back and looked at the sky through the window. It was time to make lunch.

When I went out, I saw Qiuyue squatting under the shed to light a fire.

"Do you cook?" Su Liang walked over and asked.

Qiuyue fell to the ground, then quickly got up, "Yes... Miss said that Miss Su worked hard, so today we just cooked porridge for me. I know how to do this."

"Oh, OK." Su Liang nodded quickly, "Don't put the firewood so tight, take out a few in the middle." After saying that, he watched Qiuyue take out a few firewoods and the fire started, then turned and left.

After returning to the room, Su Liang reviewed the complicated parts of the book he had finished reading, and planned to start reading a new book in the afternoon, so he went out again and planned to walk around nearby.

At first, Su Liang didn't look at Qiuyue. When he was about to leave the hospital, he turned around and said, "It's ready, you eat first..."

Qiuyue didn't dare to disobey Nangong Qian's order. She didn't focus on the porridge in the pot, but stared at the burning flames, and kept comforting herself in her heart that Su Liang was a miracle doctor and would be fine...

Then, she slowly moved her hands closer to the fire. Because Nangong Qian said that it must be both hands, not just one hand...

Under extreme tension and fear, Qiuyue didn't notice Su Liang coming out of the room until she suddenly heard her voice. The string in her mind suddenly broke. Thinking that Su Liang must have seen her deliberately burning her hands, she fell to the ground and subconsciously kicked the ground to hide. After hitting her elbow, she screamed in pain, not noticing that her skirt had been burned by the fire, and one foot unconsciously stepped towards the fire!

"Be careful!" Su Liang rushed over quickly and pulled Qiuyue aside.

Qiuyue screamed as she looked at her burning skirt and one foot.

And Su Liang acted quickly. After letting her go, he quickly took off his coat and dipped it into the bucket, took it out and spread it, covering the burning part of Qiuyue's body, and then poured the remaining water on it!

He didn't use water directly because he was afraid that there was not enough water and it could not be completely extinguished at once. If he delayed for a moment, his skin and flesh would be burned.

The smell of burning filled the air, and Qiuyue froze and fainted from fear.

Su Liang fetched another bucket of cold water, washed Qiuyue's foot that was on fire, and then checked it again, and found that it was only slightly red, and it was not serious.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Su Liang was speechless. He picked up the frightened Qiuyue and sent her back to her room.

Pushing open the door, he heard Nangong Qian's anxious voice, "What's wrong... What happened?"

"Qiuyue is injured." Su Liang carried Qiuyue in. She usually slept on the floor next to Nangong Qian's bed. There was no bed, only mats and bedding.

Nangong Qian looked worried, "It's all my fault. I had to let her cook and share some work with you... She hurt her hand, what will she do in the future..."

Su Liang paused, hurt her hand? How did Nangong Qian know that Qiuyue's hand was injured?

She couldn't help but remember that when she turned around to talk to Qiuyue, she saw her hands shrink...

And today, whenever she appeared next to Qiuyue, Qiuyue would subconsciously dodge, like a frightened bird.

Su Liang was very sure that she had never made things difficult for this maid, and Qiuyue did not do this yesterday.

If it was not because of past grudges, Su Liang could only think that Qiuyue's behavior was because she was guilty and had something to hide.

Could it be that Nangong Qian asked Qiuyue to deliberately burn her hand? That was why Qiuyue took the initiative to cook porridge. She was frightened when she heard her voice. She was probably about to burn her hand at that time...

Thinking of this, Su Liang felt cold in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She just said lightly, "She hurt her foot, it's not serious. I'll take some ointment to apply to her. It will be fine tomorrow."

Nangong Qian's face froze when she heard this.

Seeing this, Su Liang felt that she should be right.

This master and servant have a conspiracy, and the mastermind is Nangong Qian. Qiuyue is probably unwilling to hurt herself but dare not not do it, so she is so guilty and afraid.

In addition, there is no other possibility to explain their behavior today.

"That... that's good..." Nangong Qian said weakly, "Thank you for your hard work..."

Su Liang spread the mat, put Qiuyue on it, and went back to the room to get the medicine. This was what she had originally brought with her. After Qiu Cong took all of it, he returned everything except the poison to her.

Nangong Qian watched Su Liang applying the medicine to Qiuyue, her expression changing.

Qiuyue woke up soon, her face pale, staring at Su Liang with wide eyes, "My foot... How is my foot?"

Su Liang stood up, put away the medicine bottle, and looked down at Qiuyue lying on the ground, "Your foot is fine. But I'm not a Daluo immortal. If you are really seriously burned, you will be disabled for life."

Su Liang's face was backlit, revealing a bit of coldness. Qiuyue's heart tightened, and she felt that she had been seen through by her.

When Su Liang went out and the door was closed, Qiuyue felt that she had a lot of grievances and had nowhere to vent, so she sobbed and cried.

Nangong Qian didn't even have words of comfort, and asked in a low voice, "She didn't notice it, did she?"

Qiuyue was actually not sure whether Su Liang saw her reaching out to the fire, but she knew that if she dared to say that Su Liang had already noticed it, Nangong Qian would definitely blame everything on her, and she would die.

So, Qiuyue cried and shook her head, swearing that Su Liang didn't see it, and she could only pray in her heart that Su Liang really didn't see it...

The porridge was almost mushy, Su Liang took it out of the pot and served it to Nangong Qian and Qiuyue first, and then sat in the yard to eat a bowl of porridge, wondering if she should tell Qiu Cong about it.

This is definitely not a simple question of right and wrong, she has to weigh the pros and cons.

In the afternoon, Su Liang cleaned up the kitchen and the yard, and boiled medicine for Nangong Qian. His attitude did not change at all, so Nangong Qian and his servant were slightly relieved.

It was not until dusk that Qiu Cong returned, and there were a lot of things, which looked heavy.

Su Liang went up to take the basket, carried it over and put it on the table.

Qiu Cong said, "You are quite strong."

Su Liang smiled, "After all, I have been practicing for two years."

Qiu Cong took a look at the stand he had built for Su Liang.

"Is everything okay at home?" Qiu Cong asked.

Su Liang nodded, "Only Qiuyue injured her foot, it's very minor, she will be well tomorrow."

Qiu Cong frowned, "Stupid."

Su Liang took out the things in the basket one by one, all of which were medicinal herbs, and they were confirmed to be fine.

Then, Qiu Cong handed over a paper bag.

Su Liang took it, opened it, and was stunned for a moment. It turned out to be a golden roasted chicken. Although it was cold, it was also very fragrant.

"It tastes strong, Qian'er can't eat it, you eat it." Qiu Cong went back to his room after he finished speaking.

Su Liang looked puzzled. Was this old man trying to show her kindness?

Qiu Cong changed his clothes and went to see Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian and his servant were finally relieved to see that he was not angry.

Su Liang re-prescribed the medicine for Nangong Qian, and when he went to give her acupuncture again, Qiu Cong followed him. Nangong Qian was very good, and apologized again for Qiuyue's burn today, saying that she had good intentions and didn't want Su Liang to work so hard.

As for the roast chicken, Su Liang heated it up at dinner, tore it into large pieces and put it on a plate, and ate it with Qiu Cong, and gave Qiuyue a chicken leg.

…

Su Liang didn't exercise in the morning, and practiced sword in the yard at night.

After three times, Qiu Cong fought with her.

Nangong Qian drank the medicine and went to bed early, because Su Liang added a tranquilizer to her new medicine. It's good for her to sleep more and think less.

Qiuyue hadn't fallen asleep yet, and as soon as she closed her eyes, a raging fire appeared in her mind, and she broke out in a cold sweat. If Su Liang hadn't rescued her in time today, she really didn't know what she would become.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, Qiu Cong put away his sword, and Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Master." Practicing on your own is very different from competing. The latter allows her to find her shortcomings in time and learn more contingency moves.

Then Su Liang said she wanted to talk to Qiu Cong.

The two sat opposite each other in the yard, and Su Liang placed the wooden sword horizontally on the table, "It's not all an accident that Qiuyue was burned today."

Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes slightly, and then listened to Su Liang continue to talk about what happened. She didn't show what she knew in front of Nangong Qian and Qiuyue during the day, and she didn't say it until now, in order to prevent the master and servant from discovering the truth and causing any more trouble.

"I didn't suspect anything at first, but when I sent Qiuyue back to her room, I just said she was burned, and your granddaughter said what to do if she burned her hand." Su Liang said calmly, "And Qiuyue felt guilty when she saw me today. Even if I just helped her fetch water and taught her to light a fire, she seemed to be frightened. If Master thinks I think too much, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Why do you think Qian'er deliberately let Qiuyue burn, what good will it do for her?" Qiu Cong asked coldly.

Su Liang shook his head, "It's not because I first speculated that Nangong Qian had ill intentions towards me, but because what I saw and heard today was wrong. But if I guessed correctly, if there is any benefit to Nangong Qian, it is that after Qiuyue was injured, I have to serve her personally and be her maid."

At the first meal yesterday, Nangong Qian said that the porridge made by Su Liang made her sick, and sent Qiuyue to find Qiu Cong to order dishes for Su Liang to make again. It was very impolite, and she completely regarded Su Liang as a cook. Qiu Cong also remembered that Qiuyue suddenly said she was going to boil water in the middle of the night yesterday, and she seemed to be frightened when she saw him come out...

"I am not trying to sow discord, because what I said is the truth, and the blood relationship between Master and Nangong Qian cannot be separated. I just want to tell Master that if Nangong Qian hates me so much, even if I save her, she must trample on my dignity to be happy, and let me live under the same roof with her, she will never get better." As a doctor, Su Liang always hates patients who don't know what's good for them. If Nangong Qian continues to do this, she will not get better. Su Liang is not only disgusted, but it is difficult to get out. This is a vicious cycle.

At the moment, Su Liang did not want Nangong Qian to die, or let her suffer, or anger her and humiliate her. Su Liang just wanted to leave. If the condition was to cure Nangong Qian, she was willing to temporarily put aside the previous hatred and try her best. Because compared with her going home, whether Nangong Qian is dead or alive, good or bad is not important at all!

"If I believe what you said, you will ask to leave." Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Liang.

Su Liang rubbed his forehead and stood up, "Master, I am just talking about the matter. I hope to make it clear. I hope you understand that the conflict between Nangong Qian and I cannot be resolved. I will be fine, but she is. If you can't let me go, please find another way to solve it. In short, it's not good for anyone to go on like this."

Su Liang turned around and went back to her room. She really didn't expect to get away by telling what happened during the day, but if she didn't say it, some things would never end.

Qiu Cong sat quietly for a long time, got up and went back to his room, and soon came out again and entered Nangong Qian's room.

Qiuyue shrank when she heard the footsteps, and lay quietly without daring to breathe.

Qiu Cong walked around Qiuyue and sat down by the bed. He didn't say anything, just looked at the sleeping Nangong Qian quietly.

…

After washing up, Su Liang placed the bamboo shoots next to the bed before going to bed. Looking at its obviously shrunken body, he sighed softly, "Little God, why are you getting old so fast? It seems that the great god can only eat your friends."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Cong's obviously panicked voice came from next door, "Su Liang! Come here quickly!"

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously sat up and started to put on his coat. Why is Qiu Cong in Nangong Qian's room? Is there something wrong with Nangong Qian again?

When Su Liang rushed over, he saw Qiu Cong holding Nangong Qian, and she closed her eyes and fainted, spitting blood from her mouth.

Qiuyue stood by with a pale face.

"What's going on?" Su Liang's expression froze. Is there something wrong with the medicine at night? Impossible, she has confirmed it one by one.

Qiu Cong's face was ugly, "I gave her a pill."

Su Liang frowned, "What?"

"I want her to lose her memory and forget the previous conflict with you." Qiu Cong's voice was low, "Look at her quickly, what's wrong with her?"

Su Liang was simply drunk! I didn't expect Qiu Cong to have that kind of medicine in his hand. Maybe it was the one that Nangong Lin almost made Gu Ling eat. Maybe it was specially prepared by Nangong Lin for her, so that Qiu Cong would force her to eat it after Nangong Qian's body got better, so that she could control her after she lost her memory!

As a result, Qiu Cong believed what Su Liang said, listened to her, and decided to solve the irreconcilable conflict between Nangong Qian and Su Liang by erasing Nangong Qian's memory!

This is certainly a solution, but the drug is too strong, and Nangong Qian can't take it.

Su Liang asked Qiu Cong to step aside, and then lit a lamp. She felt Nangong Qian's pulse and opened her eyelids to check. The situation was very critical.

Su Liang rushed back to her room to get the needle bag and several medicine bottles she brought, and hurried to rescue Nangong Qian.

If Nangong Qian died, it was Qiu Cong who killed her, and Su Liang might be able to get away from it. But she knew that if she didn't try her best to treat Nangong Qian, Qiu Cong might not be angry with her. After all, it was because of her words that Qiu Cong decided to feed Nangong Qian the medicine, and that was his most beloved granddaughter. And Qiuyue might insist afterwards that she didn't conspire with Nangong Qian to deliberately burn her.

…

At dawn, Su Liang walked out of Nangong Qian's room with a tired face, stood in the yard, and let the morning breeze mess up her hair on her forehead.

Nangong Qian was not dead, and was still unconscious at this moment, but Su Liang finally saved her.

Qiu Cong appeared behind Su Liang and sighed, "It's all my fault for being too reckless. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Liang knew that if she said it was okay, Qiu Cong would have a better impression of her, but she was too tired to say a word now, and suddenly felt very wronged, missed Gu Ling very much, and wanted to go home. She was not made of iron, she was really fed up with these people and these things...

Qiu Cong looked at Su Liang as if he didn't hear what he said, turned back to the room with a wooden expression, and closed the door.

…

Su Liang lay down and took a nap. When he woke up again, he looked at the bamboo shoots beside the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mood, and told himself to stay calm, there would always be a turnaround.

Qiu Cong saw Su Liang go out, and immediately put down the bucket in his hand and walked over.

"I'll go see her again." Su Liang said.

Qiu Cong stretched out his hand somewhat unnaturally, gently patted Su Liang's shoulder twice, then took it back unnaturally, sighing, "I'm sorry for what happened in the past. Qian'er is in a bad condition, and you need to stay to save her. Write a letter, and I will send it to Jiaye City as soon as possible to report safety. Also, I want to formally accept you as my apprentice...if you are willing."
