Chapter 350 You are the one who is being sentimental

While Ning Yunxi was having breakfast, Qiu Bi promptly instructed the coachman to prepare the carriage.

After the princess finished her breakfast, Qiu Bi carefully helped her to sit in the carriage, watched her go away, and then went to the guest room of Yuexi Mansion to continue taking care of the affairs of the mansion.

Her exclusive guest room is located next to Ning Yunxi's usual bedroom, which is convenient for her daily work.

When she pushed the door open and walked in, she saw Lin Mu sitting quietly beside the screen. Qiu Bi was slightly startled.

"Master Lin?"

"Why are you here? Master Zhuang clearly told us to act after nightfall."

Lin Mumu has a refined and elegant temperament, a mellow and profound demeanor, a well-mannered gentleman, and a modest scholar.

"When we act at night, the emperor's men will spy on us secretly. It is not appropriate for you and I to discuss matters."

Qiu Bi's eyes flashed with confusion and she closed the door.

"Talk about something? What do you want to talk about?"

Lin Mu stood up and walked over, stopped in front of her, looked at her affectionately, and called her softly.

"Sister He."

When their eyes met, Qiu Bi's face was calm and peaceful, and for a moment her face turned as red as a peach.

"Ok?"

Lin Mu smiled gently in the breeze, her appearance was gentle and pretty.

"You trust me?"

The autumn flowers are smiling shyly, as if the frost has just cleared, and the pink clouds are shining against the white snow.

"Of course I believe it. Why do you ask?"

Lin Mu was elegant and graceful, while I seemed a little serious.

"What I'm going to say next is from the bottom of my heart. I hope you will take it seriously."

At this point, Qiu Bi's thoughts came naturally.

He was particularly serious. Could it be... that he came here to discuss marriage?

Why so sudden? It's really embarrassing.

As she thought about it, the sweetness on her lips almost reached her ears.

"You tell me, I'll listen."

Lin Mu stared at him firmly, without even a glance to the side.

"Mr. Zhuang is using this plan to tie up Lord Feng. Lord Zhuang has other plans, and they are targeting you. Please don't trust them!"

Seeing his serious expression, as if she was facing a grand wedding, Qiu Bi turned away in shame, but unexpectedly, she heard these words.

She came back to her senses and turned around, looking at him in disbelief.

"Is this what you want to say?"

Looking at her reaction, there seemed to be a misunderstanding. Lin Mujun looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

"Don't misunderstand me. The time for marriage has not come yet."

Qiu Bi felt ashamed and angry as he saw through her thoughts.

"Who misunderstood? You are the one who is being sentimental."

Lin Mu responded patiently and explained tirelessly.

"That's not what I meant. You're never sentimental."

"Have you forgotten? I explained to you in detail about the political situation before. Now, it is indeed not appropriate for us to get married."

"I once said that I would take you to live in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs. But you said that the princess mentioned the past life. Even if we gave up our honor and wealth, we would still be doomed. Therefore, in this life, I am cautious and dare not act rashly."

He took a step closer, stroked her shoulders gently with both hands, and comforted her tenderly.

"I have tried my best to stay between the two sides. Sister He, don't worry, I will marry you as soon as possible!"

Qiu Bi's anger gradually subsided and she denied it coquettishly.

"Who's anxious? You're the one who's anxious."

Seeing her lovely appearance, Lin Muqing couldn't help but smile.

"You're right. It's all my fault for being impatient."

After listening to the coaxing, Qiu Bi managed to calm down and took the initiative to get back to the point.

"What did you mean by that?"

"What does Lord Zhuang want from me?"

Not wanting to insult Sister He's chastity with frivolous words, Lin Mu tried his best to answer politely.

"Tonight, if you take advantage of his trick, he will never let you down."

"This is what Master Zhuang is planning."

Qiu Bi was stunned when she heard this. She felt wronged and brushed his hand away in annoyance.

"Why do you say that? Master Zhuang and I are close friends, and we have never violated any rules."

Lin Mu frowned slightly and told the facts carefully.

"You treat him with great respect, but he may not treat you the same way."

Qiu Bi pursed her lips, angry and annoyed.

"What you said is very unreasonable."

"I took your face into consideration. Even if Lord Zhuang and I knew each other, we kept our distance and did not meet. These days, we each did our own things, and he never bothered me at all."

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her words became more and more irrelevant.

"You are the only one allowed to use your beauty to get close to Feng Yihe. I am not allowed to be righteous and just for the sake of the government."

"So, the relationship between you and Feng Yihe is not spotless!"

Hearing that there was something wrong with the words, Lin Mu immediately made a guess.

"Did you hear Lord Gao Jing's nonsense again, saying that I was having a secret meeting with Lord Feng in the middle of the night?"

When Qiu Bi first heard about this, she was shocked and even more angry.

"What? Why did you meet her in the middle of the night?!"

Thinking of what her cousin had said, she suddenly understood.

"No wonder my cousin said that you only have He'er in your heart and don't want to marry me at all. It turns out that you..."

Lin Mu couldn't help but interrupt and stop her from thinking too much.

"There was no midnight rendezvous. How could you believe what he said?"

Qiu Bi remained unmoved and was filled with anger.

"Then why did you take the initiative to accuse Master Zhuang and me? Isn't it because you are guilty?"

"Your Highness has long said that human emotions are divided into three categories: love, family affection, and friendship. How come all of them are love in your case? Does it mean that if I marry you, I will cut off all my family and friends and be loyal to you alone?"

Lin Mu looked innocent.

"Why would I do that?"

Qiu Bi refuted with convincing arguments.

"Then what is your purpose in suspecting Master Zhuang for no reason?"

"To be honest, this was Lord Zhuang's plan! Lord Zhuang was involved in it, how could he hide it from Lord Zhuang?"

Lin Mu frowned and looked serious.

"Master Zhuang was extremely cautious in implementing this plan."

"Earlier, he came to Yuexi Mansion in a low profile, but deliberately did not mention any plan, because he was afraid that the princess would see through his thoughts. So, he must have a way to hide his thoughts in front of Master Zhuang."

His eyes were sincere, and his advice was as gentle as the wind and rain.

"Master Zhuang is very capable and is no ordinary man. If you believe me, why don't you find a reason not to go tonight?"

Qiu Bi smiled contemptuously, still angry.

"The princess and Lord Zhuang were completely unaware of the clues, but you saw through them at a glance?"

"Excuse me, Lord Lin is not very humble. When you get jealous, you are not like your usual self at all."

Seeing that she couldn't make sense, Lin Mu was almost broken-down.

"This is not jealousy."

"You just said you believed me."

Qiu Bi was angry and turned away, not giving him a straight face.

"I wanted to believe you, but what about you? You were jealous, and you made excuses, and you said you didn't want to marry me..."

Lin Mu couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted again.

"When did I ever say I didn't want to marry you?"

Qiu Bi was very angry.

"Just by looking at your actions, the matter is obvious. Why should I explain it?"

"Since you said that Lord Zhuang was secretly plotting something, why didn't you tell the princess? Once she gives the order, I will naturally obey."

Lin Mu sighed silently, his eyes filled with embarrassment.

"The princess knows right from wrong. If I tell her this, she will definitely believe me."

"What can I do? I can't do it."

Qiu Bi asked proudly.

"Why?"

Lin Mu spoke earnestly.

"Whether it's the princess or Lord Zhuang, if you blame Lord Zhuang for this, you are undoubtedly pushing him away. Lord Zhuang, you have great talent. If you truly follow the emperor, the prince will be in trouble, and there will be another obstacle to our marriage."

"Sister He, have you thought about the consequences?"

This is nonsense and totally wrong. Qiu Bi is indignant.

"You are really worrying too much. The people of the Fang clan have always preferred to sacrifice themselves rather than abandon Emperor Yan. They have been loyal for more than five hundred years!"

"You have accused Lord Zhuang of having bad intentions based on just a few conversations in Disheng Palace. Don't you know that every word he said sounded true, just to deceive the emperor? How could you misinterpret his intentions?"

She opened the door in a rage, pulled and dragged him, and pushed him out.

"Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
