I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night
Chapter 157 - 157 Abnormality157 Abnormality
Zhu Qing stood in the center of the tent. His face was flushed red from the laughter around him. He gritted his teeth and ignored his father’s shouts. He turned around and ran without looking back.
“Madam Liu, please forgive her. My daughter is insensible. Please forgive her for offending you!”
Zhu Qing ran away, leaving her guilty father with no choice but to turn around and apologize to Lin Suisui.
Lin Suisui looked at the old man who was bowing to her non-stop. It was unknown what Lin Suisui was thinking, but she didn’t react for a long time. It was only when Lu Ze, who was accompanying her, gently pushed her back that she realized the awkwardness of the situation. She quickly turned around and said in embarrassment, “I’m sorry. I was thinking about something just now.”
This is no big deal. You really don’t have to take it to heart.”
She wasn’t being modest, but she really didn’t take Zhu Qing’s words to heart. It was just that this uncle in front of her…
Lin Suisui sized up the old man in front of her again before going around him to check on the four injured people. She adjusted their medicine before getting up and leaving with Lu Ze.

“Why do you ask?!” Lin Suisui was stunned. She didn’t expect Lu Ze to be so keen. However, since Lu Ze had asked, she didn’t hide it. Instead, she said uncertainly, “I’m not sure either. I still have to do more observing.”
She had only made a guess. If her guess was wrong, it would be a false accusation!
Lu Ze wasn’t surprised by Lin Suisui’s caution. He helped Lin Suisui up and suggested in a low voice, “I happen to have some doubts too. Why don’t you tell me and we’ll analyze it together?!”
Hearing Lu Ze’s words, Lin Suisui didn’t refuse anymore. She deliberated for a moment before suppressing her voice and saying hesitantly, “I just feel that the old man’s bowing posture is very strange. I feel that it’s a little different from the other people’s bowing posture!”
At this point, Lin Suisui didn’t hide the reason why she suspected this old man.
She explained her previous conversation with Pei Qian to Lu Ze in a low voice. Then, she said in a low voice, “I’ve actually always been very curious. Logically speaking, we disguised ourselves well enough at that time, but Pei Qian suspected us!
It wasn’t until he confessed the reason to me this time that I realized it!
However, after thinking about it carefully, I was indeed too negligent back then! I actually didn’t notice that detail!
When I first saw the old man, I didn’t notice anything wrong at first, but after he bowed to me many times, I felt that something was wrong.
Most importantly, I seem to have seen his bowing posture somewhere before, but I can’t remember where.”
Seeing Lin Suisui frown and think hard, Lu Ze raised his hand to his chest with a smile and nodded at Lin Suisui. “Is that so?!”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s it! If you keep bending down like this and change your gesture to bowing, it’ll look even more like it!” Lu Ze’s action made Lin Suisui’s eyes light up and she hurriedly nodded.
“This is the northern barbarians’ way of bowing.” Lu Ze looked at Lin Suisui and said with a serious expression, “If your suspicion is true, even if this old man is not a northern barbarian spy, he must have ties to the northern barbarians!”
At this point, Lu Ze didn’t hesitate anymore. He pulled Lin Suisui towards the tent where Pei Qian was.
“No, no. If we go look for Pei Qian first before going back, it’ll probably be too late!
I’m worried about the tent where we stored the herbs! Also, all the food in our camp is placed with the herbs! If this old man is really a spy from the northern barbarians, then if he infiltrates this time and takes the opportunity to tamper with our herbs and food, it will be a disaster for our entire refugee camp!
Although Pei Qian had always given the tightest protection to the place where these resources were stored, I could enter at any time in the past two days because I wanted to get herbs!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat if this old man approached the place as a doctor?!
Will Pei Qian agree that they can enter at will?!”
The more Lin Suisui spoke, the more afraid she felt. Be it herbs or food, they were the key to the survival of the refugee camp! If that old man really sneaked in and poisoned the herbs and food, the consequences…
“No, it’s too dangerous for you to go over alone!” Lu Ze reached out and grabbed Lin Suisui, who was about to run towards the tent where the herbs were placed. She was right, but if that old man was really a spy and if he had accomplices, a little girl like Lin Suisui would be courting death if she ran over to stop them!
Lu Ze naturally couldn’t agree to let Lin Suisui go alone.
A thought flashed through his mind. He took a few steps to the side and reached out to stop a man who was passing by. Before the man could speak, Lu Ze said, “Go to Mr. Pei’s tent now and say that Gu Erlang has something urgent to attend to. Tell him to immediately go to the tent where the herbs and rations are placed!
After that, you can ask Mr. Pei for five taels of silver as a reward!”
The man was originally a little unhappy to be suddenly stopped by Lu Ze. However, when he heard that he would be rewarded with five taels of silver just by sending a message, he didn’t say anything else. He bowed to Lu Ze happily and thanked him before turning around and running towards the tent where Pei Qian lived.
Since he had already found someone to send the message to Pei Qian, Lu Ze didn’t delay any longer. He turned around and pulled Lin Suisui towards the tent where the herbs and rations were placed.
Lin Suisui was slow. It was obvious that she couldn’t keep up, especially since the ground was slippery. Although she had Lu Ze protecting her, it was inevitable that she would slip. She looked like she was having a hard time walking.
Lu Ze simply took two quick steps and squatted down in front of Lin Suisui. As usual, when Lin Suisui climbed onto his back, he carried her on his back. This saved time.
Seeing this, Lin Suisui lay down. Without Lu Ze’s instructions, she wrapped her arms around his neck and tightened her legs around his waist.
