The reason why Qi Mohan didn’t immediately pursue the charges against that person was because he heard Si Si’s name mentioned in his mouth.
Qi Mohan couldn’t figure out why that person came to see him, and since he had nothing to do at the moment, it wouldn’t hurt to meet him.
When the servant who reported the news heard that their prince agreed to meet that person, he scratched his ears hard, as if he was afraid that he had heard it wrongly.
Who was their prince?
He was the master of Qiushui City, not someone who anyone can see.
If it weren’t for the fact that the couple begged him and looked pitiful, he wouldn’t have run all the way to report this.
The result was unexpected, their prince agreed to meet them……
When Qi Mohan saw Si Chaoqun and his wife, the first thing he saw was the shoe in their hands.
Yesterday, when he temporarily settled Si Si in the two kids’ rooms, he found that the latter had lost a shoe.
But thinking about how he rushed back to the mansion yesterday in the rain with Si Si in his arms, he was indeed so fast. Even if someone picked up the shoes, it would be impossible to find that the person who lost the shoes went to Prince Rong’s Mansion.
How could this couple deliver the shoes here so accurately?
When he first met these two people, they mentioned Si Si’s name, but Si Si was not from this era, and her arrival was just a coincidence.
They also asked them if they knew Si Si. The couple said that Si Si was their daughter, who had been missing for many years.
Qi Mohan kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind, but every time he thought of a possibility, a reasonable reason would immediately emerge in his mind to overturn it.
He felt like he was trapped in an inescapable vortex of contradictions. His thoughts became more and more confused, and his mood became more and more uneasy.
Si Chaoqun followed the local customs and when he saw Qi Mohan coming, he pulled Luo Xuehua’s sleeve. After the two looked at each other, they quickly saluted.
As for kneeling and bowing to Qi Mohan as the others did, they were not able to do it for the time being. After all, they all came from modern souls and were somewhat unable to accept the etiquette of kneeling.
As long as Qi Mohan doesn’t blame them, they can get away with it.
Qi Mohan was struggling with various possibilities at the moment and simply ignored the etiquette between the two.
He pointed at the shoes in Si Chaoqun’s hand and asked: “How do you know the owner of these shoes is in Prince Rong’s mansion?”
Since he couldn’t figure out the situation, he might as well start from the beginning.
When Si Chaoqun picked up the shoes, he didn’t see Qi Mohan’s appearance clearly but made this judgment after listening to the guards who chased after him.
In this regard, he chose to tell the truth.
Qi Mohan continued: “Did you come here today just to give the shoes?”
If so, just give the shoes to the gatekeeper directly. There was no need for him to see him.
Upon hearing this, Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua bowed solemnly to Qi Mohan again and said, “Me, and my wife, would like to meet the owner of this shoe.”
Qi Mohan raised an eyebrow: “Why?”
“Because… because… I feel that I might have some connection with the owner of this shoe.” Si Chaoqun couldn’t tell the truth, but he had to explain it clearly, so he could only say it vaguely, hoping that His Royal Highness Prince Rong would not continue to dig into the matter. If so, they didn’t know how to explain it.
Qi Mohan would not let them meet Si Si without asking clearly.
“Connection? What kind of connection?” While asking, Qi Mohan was also complaining in his heart, how could a girl from a thousand years later have connection with them?
“This…” Si Chaoqun was speechless for a moment. He didn’t know how to answer this question.
Just when Si Chaoqun was in trouble, the eunuch ran over and handed Qi Mohan a piece of antibiotic wrapped in paper.
“Your Highness, this is the medicine that the young lady asked me to bring you. The young lady said that your wound is serious, and you must take it on time.”
When Qi Mohan heard that it was Si Si who had someone send the medicine and also reminded him to take it on time, most of the unhappiness caused by his hesitation disappeared instantly.
In front of Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua, he opened the small paper bag and put the capsule-packed antibiotic inside his mouth.
The eunuch was also very discerning and prepared water in advance.
Qi Mohan was taking medicine here but shocked Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua.
Luo Xuehua couldn’t help but whisper to Si Chaoqun: “Husband, this medicine is an antibiotic. This thing can’t exist in ancient times.”
Si Chaoqun was astonished, but nodded: “Could it be that besides us, there are other time travelers here?”
Although the two were whispering, and they believed that their voices could not possibly reach Qi Mohan, they ignored the hearing ability of martial artists.
It can be said that Qi Mohan’s hearing ability was amazing, far exceeding that of ordinary people by several times.
Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua had a conversation, which was heard by him completely.
At the same time, a storm like a raging sea was set off in Qi Mohan’s heart, but his face remained calm.
He handed the cup to the eunuch and sent him away, instructing the guards outside not to let anyone approach the room without his permission.
After arranging everything, Qi Mohan asked solemnly: “Do you recognize the medicine I took just now?”
Si Chaoqun was able to become a big entrepreneur in modern times, so his mind was naturally not idle. When Qi Mohan asked this question, the first thing that came to his mind was that the conversation between him and his wife did not escape the other’s ears.
Another more important point was that Qi Mohan asked them if they recognized the drug. The latter was very likely to know the actual production era of the drug.
Thinking of this, Si Chaoqun’s forehead was covered with sweat. He felt that no matter how he answered Qi Mohan’s question, it didn’t make sense.
He can’t tell others that both he and his wife were time travelers from a thousand years later, right?
Not to mention Qi Mohan, an ancient man, even his wife couldn’t accept this fact when she first traveled here!
Seeing that Si Chaoqun and his wife hadn’t spoken for a long time, Qi Mohan couldn’t help but urge them: “Answer my question.”
Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua looked at each other, and both said that they were at a loss as to what to do.
However, in this dynasty where imperial power was at the highest level, people had no choice at all. If they refuse to answer the questions, the consequences will be disastrous.
After all, Qi Mohan was in a high position and had great power. If he was in a bad mood, it would be a small matter for him to take their lives directly. But if they demote them to slavery and make them do hard labor for the rest of their lives, their life would be worse than death!
Seeing Qi Mohan’s face turned cold, Si Chaoqun shuddered and replied with a stiff face: “I don’t know that the prince takes medicine.”
