Chapter 167 Let’s Go Find Him

Ning Yunxi took out a silk handkerchief and answered while wiping her tears.

"At that time, I didn't know who you gave it to."

"You just said that he was a poor man."

"You said you promised him to keep everything secret, so you can't tell me."

"Now, after listening to your narration of what happened back then, I know that the poor man was actually Lord Lin."

"You don't remember this?"

Qiu Bi sobbed in confusion and shook her head.

"I don't remember at all."

Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly.

"No wonder. You are a sophomore in high school, so you are actually a little younger than us. I was just beginning to remember things that year, and you may not have started to remember things yet."

The gloom in Qiu Bi's eyes was gone, and the sadness was gone.

"How can you be sure that Lord Lin's umbrella must belong to me?"

"It's not uncommon for people to have similar experiences. That umbrella could have been given to them by Feng Yihe, right?"

Ning Yunxi answered seriously.

"Go and take a look at that umbrella. Besides the crabapple blossoms, are there also the apricot blossoms I embroidered?"

"My needlework, which is not presentable enough, is still as good as ever. You can't fail to recognize it, right?"

"We can have the same experience. Is Lord Feng's embroidery exactly the same as mine? If you can't recognize it, I will embroider it again and ask the embroiderers to check it."

"That must be your umbrella. I specially customized it for your birthday. You know, the money I used to buy the gift was a reward from the emperor, earned with my life. But you gave it to someone else without caring about it. I was angry for several days because of it."

Having said that, let’s turn to analysis.

"In fact, once you hear this, you will know that it was Lord Feng who did it secretly."

"I guess it's hard for you and Lord Lin to see clearly because you are both in the middle of the situation."

"Or maybe..."

At this point, she figured out what was going on.

"Could it be that you were seen by Lord Lin when you delivered the letter yesterday?"

"You look strange, so he must have seen it, so he should be a guest at the Zhuang Mansion and confirm the letter."

“And then, it was a complete misunderstanding.”

Hearing this, Qiu Bi didn't understand.

"Since the letter has been confirmed, how could there be a misunderstanding?"

Ning Yunxi blushed and smiled awkwardly.

"Because there is no plan in the brocade box, only a love letter."

"Hee hee hee……"

Qiu Bi was shocked when she realized it belatedly.

"what?!"

"Why is the princess like this?"

Ning Yunxi explained with a smile.

"After listening to what you said yesterday, I thought Lord Lin had no intention of doing anything, so I thought, wouldn't it be a good idea to match you with my cousin?"

"If you have a new love, you will naturally forget the old love."

Qiu Bi was stunned.

"So this is what the princess meant by this idea..."

"Now not only Lord Lin misunderstands, Lord Zhuang will misunderstand as well."

"No wonder he gave the jade pendant as a present. By the way, did the princess return the jade pendant?"

Ning Yunxi took out the jade pendant and gestured awkwardly.

"How about you pay it back yourself?"

"After this, I feel a little embarrassed to see him."

"In fact, Lord Lin and Lord Feng are childhood sweethearts, so they are quite suitable."

"Why don't you consider my oldest cousin?"

Qiu Bi complained in frustration.

"What are you talking about, Princess? I have already said that I am devoted to Lord Lin."

Once she was in a good mood, she started joking.

"Master Zhuang, forget it. If it really doesn't work, ask him to take a look at Feng Yihe and see if she agrees."

"They should be considered childhood sweethearts, right?"

Ning Yunxi hooked the tip of her nose.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

"Go find Master Lin and explain."

Qiu Bi did not move.

"Not yet."

Ning Yunxi asked with concern.

"Why not?"

Qiu Bi clenched her teeth, feeling a bit angry.

"Just now he said that he loves Sister He, and he will never leave me even if I feel disgusted."

"While he was talking about the kindness of holding the umbrella, he was also thinking about his sister He."

"He wouldn't want double happiness, would he?"

"My Lord, it's not that I can't tolerate others, but that Lord Feng and I just don't get along."

"If he intends to treat her as his equal, what should I do?"

Ning Yunxi thought back to the conversation she had just retold and smiled comfortably.

"The sister He he mentioned, isn't that you?"

Qiu Bi couldn't understand it at all.

"How could it be a subordinate?"

Ning Yunxi explained patiently.

"Ms. Gao Er's original maiden name was Gao He."

"Gao Yihe's name comes from you, to express Mr. and Mrs. Gao's longing for you."

"You two families are old friends, and he and you are engaged, so the way you address each other will naturally be more intimate."

"From what you said, the Gao family is used to calling Master Feng He'er."

"Then, Lord Lin's way of addressing you cannot be repeated. Otherwise, how can he distinguish you? Since you are not married yet, he can't call you madam, right?"

"So privately, he called her Sister He."

After she said that, Qiu Bi finally understood.

"That's it."

"Thank you, Princess, for your guidance."

"I will go find him right away."

As the sun sets, the Lin Mansion is covered with a rosy glow, accompanied by bursts of birdsong, which is refreshing.

After reporting, Qiu Bi came to Lin Mu's residence, Mutangju.

Seeing his gloomy face, she tried to persuade him with a warm smile.

"Master Lin, I want to see that crabapple umbrella, is that okay?"

Lin Mu reminded indifferently.

"The night is getting darker, and there are differences between men and women. I hope Mr. Gao will respect himself."

Qiu Bi took two steps closer, moved a stool, sat in front of him, and met his eyes leisurely.

He swallowed unconsciously and she smiled.

"Then why did you agree to let me in?"

"Isn't it because we are husband and wife that we don't need to worry about the etiquette between men and women?"

Her face was very close, almost within inches of him.

Considering her reputation, Lin Mu wanted to step back, but in reality he was unable to control himself and could not move.

"What do you mean by this?"

Qiu Bi took his hand through her wide sleeves and shook it twice coquettishly.

"I just want to take a look at that umbrella."

"Would you go get it?"

There was a hint of sweetness on Lin Mu's lips, which rose slightly unconsciously.

"it is good."

After saying that, he walked into the inner room and took out the carefully treasured crabapple umbrella.

When he turned around, he saw Qiu Bi walk into the inner room and grab the umbrella impatiently.

Lin Mu's pupils trembled.

"Why did you get in?"

"I'm afraid this is not in accordance with etiquette."

Qiu Bi raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"But I've already come in. It's against etiquette. What should I do?"

"How about you marry me?"

After saying that, he lowered his eyes to look at the umbrella.

It was wiped clean and well-cared for, with almost no trace of age. There were indeed a few apricot flowers embroidered on one part of the umbrella cloth, and it was obvious that it was made by the princess.

Qiu Bi smiled sweetly.

"Let me ask you, who is Sister He?"

Lin Mu was shocked.

"Sister He is you."

"So you didn't know?"

"Then you think... do you think it's Lord Feng?"

Qiu Bi did not answer, but held the umbrella in her arms and smiled shyly.

"That love letter was written by the princess."

"I'll go give the jade pendant back to him now."

Lin Mu thought about it, understood what she meant, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"It's late now. How about returning it tomorrow morning?"

Qiu Bi explained the reason.

"The princess said that we should go there secretly to avoid arousing suspicion."

Lin Mu agreed.

"Then I'll go with you."
