Chapter 82 Invitation
After Qiu Bi left,
Ning Yunxi lay lazily on the couch, closing her eyes and resting.
In a few days, Mr. Zhuang will arrive in the suburbs of Beijing.
She had planned a plan in advance, and was originally worried that her elder brother would interfere. She was wondering how to guard against him, but she didn't expect that her elder brother would directly send him away.
My brother is so nice, but it’s a pity that there are many truths that I cannot tell him.
If it were in her first life, she would have been able to let it all out.
Thinking about her first life, she couldn't help but wonder, was there really a misunderstanding regarding their sworn brotherhood?
Is Yue Lao really the deity who is in charge of marriages?
Is there really such a saying as "early birth of a child is a blessing"?
No wonder her brother in the previous life gave her the key to the warehouse and gave her gifts after they became sworn brothers.
She originally thought it was a reward between the emperor and his subjects, but unexpectedly, it was a betrothal gift.
But the amount of the betrothal gift was really strange, 1314 taels of gold.
When a family proposes marriage, they always use an integer or a lucky number. What is the significance of one thousand three hundred and fourteen?
Who would have thought that such a strange number was a betrothal gift?
In addition, there was a house and several carriages, which were things that had nothing to do with ordinary betrothal gifts.
No matter how she looked at it, she would think it was a reward. How could she regard it as a betrothal gift?
It turned out that her and her were not sworn brothers.
No wonder he cooked for her and specifically learned to cook only her favorite dishes.
He would also accompany her shopping, whether buying clothes or jewelry, and he never got tired of it, and even helped her choose.
He said that it didn't matter if the Ning family didn't love her, because he was her family now.
At that time, her biological father was the only one left in her family.
It was her brother who helped her find her father.
Unfortunately, the time that father and daughter were reunited was too short, and the brother returned to the 22nd century.
Later, my father was killed by the emperor.
This is all her fault.
If she had chosen her brother without hesitation in her first life and given up the Gu and Ning families, perhaps the ending would not have been so tragic.
The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.
In this life, she will never assist the emperor again.
A sworn brotherhood, a life-long friendship.
In this life, she will never abandon her brother.
It’s a pity that my brother has romantic feelings for her.
As she thought about it, Ning Yunxi gradually fell asleep.
In her dream, she explained to Yan Yu.
"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't understand your feelings at the first time."
"No man has ever truly loved me."
"I really don't know what it feels like to be loved by someone."
"So I always mistakenly thought that we were just friends in need and inseparable."
The dream changed and my brother from the first life appeared, and the beauty of the medical field came into view again.
……
Qiu Bi has arrived at the gate of Lin Mansion.
While waiting, I had nothing to do, so I saw a cricket on the ground and started playing with it out of boredom.
After playing for a while, a pair of shoes suddenly appeared in my sight.
Then, Lin Mu's voice came from above.
"Are you looking for me?"
Qiu Bi was stunned and quickly withdrew her hand that was playing with the cricket. She stood up suddenly and threw herself into Lin Mu's arms pretending to be frightened.
"what!"
"There are bugs. It's so scary. Lord Lin, save me."
Lin Mu lifted her up.
"careful!"
Qiu Bi became shy and silly.
"Master Lin, what are you doing?"
"It's in public, under everyone's gaze, and I'll be embarrassed."
Lin Mu lowered his eyes and saw that the cricket was intact, then he put Qiu Bi down and began to accuse him seriously.
"You almost stepped on it."
Qiu Bi's face suddenly changed, first puzzled, then incredulous.
“Who are you stepping on?”
"insect?"
"You are protecting bugs?!"
Lin Mu asked back calmly.
"What else should it be?"
Qiu Bi was shocked and scratched her nose with her right index finger in embarrassment. All her shyness disappeared.
This man must be terminally ill. Instead of protecting a beautiful woman, he protects a bug?
Fortunately, in this life, she decided not to get married.
She was complaining in her heart when she saw Lin Mu leaning down, picking up the cricket and handing it to the pharmacist behind him: "This one is good, take it back and use it as medicine."
The pharmacist left immediately.
"Yes."
Unexpectedly, many emotions flashed through Qiu Bi's eyes, and finally ended in astonishment.
"You protect insects for medicinal purposes?"
Lin Mu asked back calmly.
"Why else?"
Qiu Bi looked embarrassed and looked away.
In my heart, I was playing a joke on myself.
Fortunately, it was the cricket that fell in love with him, not her.
Otherwise, wouldn't she also be used as medicine?
"Nothing, Master Lin is a skilled doctor, and I admire him very much."
Lin Mu responded modestly.
"Don't make fun of me. My medical skills are average, not even as good as your girl's."
"I heard from the servant who reported that Miss Ning wanted to ask whether the divorce by imperial decree had caused public resentment."
"You've come to the wrong place. You should go to the state governor's office to ask about this matter."
Qiu Bi had already found an excuse.
"I've been there before, but the people at the governor's office didn't recognize me and wouldn't let me in."
"They just keep insisting that if there is no official business to be done, it is intentional obstruction."
"The young lady's token is left at the Ningguo Mansion, which is a bit far away. So I thought, I'd rather go to the Lin Mansion for help, Lord Lin."
Lin Mu smiled politely, without any suspicion, and just corrected.
"Miss Ning's affairs cannot be called helping."
"Since the young lady has given the order, I have no choice but to accept it."
As he spoke, he gestured in the direction of the state governor's platform.
"You go first."
Listening to his soft and gentle voice, Qiu Bi couldn't help but smile shyly.
"How dare this servant take the lead?"
"How about we walk side by side?"
"I just wonder if Master Lin would despise me for my humble origins?"
Lin Mu smiled.
"Why give up on yourself? In my opinion, all living beings in the world are equal, and your origin is not humble."
Qiu Bi's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise, and she subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at him gently.
How come he is so fickle, sometimes a nuisance and sometimes considerate?
But this unpredictable look really attracted her.
The two walked side by side and ran into Feng Yan and his wife head-on.
Qiu Bi was so frightened that she was dizzy and tossed back and forth for a long time before finally hiding behind Lin Mu.
"It's over, it's over. My parents have discovered our relationship!"
"What should I do?"
Lin Mu reminded softly.
"We don't have any shady relationship, you don't have to panic."
Qiu Bi finally reacted and walked out with a red face.
As they were talking, Feng Yan and his wife had stopped in front of them.
"Bi'er."
Qiu Bi still felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Mu greeted them openly.
"Hello, Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu. I am Lin Mu, and I am Qiu Bi's colleague."
Feng Yan smiled helplessly.
"My husband and I don't have the surname Qiu. Are you thinking of us as Bi'er's adoptive parents?"
Lin Mu was surprised and bowed to apologize.
"I didn't know Qiu Bi was the adopted daughter of the Qiu family. Uncle and aunt, I am really sorry."
"May I ask your surname, uncle and aunt?"
Feng Yan responded with a smile.
"My husband and I both have the surname Feng."
Lin Mu's face fell and he suddenly became serious.
"Both surnames, Feng?"
After deep thought, his brows furrowed in complexity.
"I'd like to ask, what are your uncle and aunt's names? Could they be Feng Yan and Feng Wendan?"
Feng Yan and Feng Wendan looked at each other in confusion.
"right……"
After answering, Feng Yan couldn't help but ask questions.
"How did you find out?"
