Chapter 380: The Villain's Actions
Lin Mu raised his hand to avoid suspicion, feeling awkward.
Feeling that she was hugging him tighter and tighter, Lin Mu felt troubled and reached out his hand, intending to gently push her away.
Out of the corner of his eye he noticed his hands moving, Gao Jing misunderstood his meaning and became furious.
"Lin Mu, don't move! If you mess around, I won't forgive you!"
Lin Mu was startled and explained hurriedly.
"No no no no……"
Gao Jing interrupted and rebuked without giving any explanation.
"No, no, no, no, what do you mean no? My cousin took the initiative to cater to you, and you dare to say that you are not moved at all?"
Lin Mu had a complicated expression and answered truthfully.
"I am indeed moved, but..."
Gao Jing raised his sword and threatened to interrupt.
"Then why are you still quibbling? If you dare to bully me, I will chop off your hands!"
Lin Mu was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Master Gao, you must not be impulsive!"
Qiu Bi panted and asked again.
"Cousin, please...step aside..."
Gao Jing was extremely anxious, fearing that his sister would be wronged.
"What are you avoiding? Shut up!"
"Just hug me for a while, but why are you holding me all the time? Do you have any shame? Let me go!"
Qiu Bi barely managed to show some respect.
"Brother, if you insist on not avoiding me, don't blame me for being rude..."
As she spoke, Lin Mu's coat was torn off by her, and her lips touched his, and Wen Yu felt his shoulder.
Lin Mu suddenly became so excited that he couldn't contain his joy, and a ferocious look appeared between his brows.
Gao Jing was shocked and immediately felt intimidated and furious.
"Gao Feng Qiu Bi!"
Qiu Bi ignored her and just indulged herself in her own romantic affairs.
Lin Mu's face flushed, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Master Gao, please don't misunderstand. My virtuous cousin has no intention of disrespecting etiquette and morality. It was because Master Zhuang gave her medicine. Master Gao, please take Master Zhuang away for a while. I will handle the matter and will definitely not humiliate you."
Gao Jing had no choice but to carry Zhuang Wei and go to the next room worriedly.
The thatched cottage was not soundproof enough, and just as Gao Jing put Zhuang Wei down, he heard his cousin scream, "Ah!"
Gao Jing was shocked when he heard this. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, became even more nervous. He immediately changed his address to a respectful one and begged earnestly.
"Master Lin, please be gentle and don't hurt her."
He paced back and forth waiting, feeling uneasy and complaining constantly, unable to calm down at all.
"Lin Mu, this villain, usually looks gentle and easy-going, but why is he so anxious and rude?"
"Your Highness is right. Don't judge a person by his appearance. Lin Mu is just a mean person."
Before he could finish his complaints, he heard Lin Mu calling him.
"Master Gao, please come in."
Gao Jing was slightly startled and asked to himself.
"Which Mr. Gao? Me?"
Hearing no movement coming from the next room, Lin Mu added a sentence.
"Master Gao Jing, please come in."
Gao Jing was stunned and returned to his bedroom.
"So fast?"
Looking at the two of them, who were even fully dressed, Gao Jing's eyes were filled with surprise, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Master Lin, are you...sick?"
Lin Mu was speechless and continued to give acupuncture to Sister He.
Gao Jing only then noticed his actions and asked in confusion.
"What is the purpose of acupuncture?"
Lin Mu answered calmly.
"Relieve the effects of the medicine."
Gao Jing understood his meaning, but was a little slow.
"Relieve... relieve the effects of the medicine?"
A light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly understood. He was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"You didn't touch her?"
Lin Mu answered simply.
"Ah."
Gao Jing's pupils were filled with shock.
"Then why did you ask me to avoid you?"
Lin Mu gave him a look that showed he understood, and then answered.
"Take care of your lying down. It's inevitable that there will be some touching. I'm afraid you'll get impulsive and cut off my hand."
After confirming the facts, Gao Jing was filled with anger and could not accept it at all.
"My cousin has done this, and you didn't even touch her. Lin Mu, are you still a man?"
Lin Mu did not respond.
Suddenly having an idea, Gao Jing walked over quickly and squatted beside Lin Mu.
"Could it be that the imperial physician is too busy in the palace to be treated like a eunuch... Please let me take a look."
Seeing him taking action, Lin Mu could no longer bear it, and he pushed him away with all his strength, screaming in despair.
"Master Gao, stop making trouble!"
Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly calmed down.
"Have you forgotten what the prince said? As a man, you must respect virtuous women."
Gao Jing sat down, glanced sideways, and refuted without taking it seriously.
"You also need to be polite to your fiancée?"
Lin Mu patiently explained the situation to him.
"Don't say she's a fiancée, she's not even a wife yet. Even if she's a wife, you should still treat her with respect and not take advantage of her misfortune and do mean things."
"Please think about this, Master Gao. If it were Master Feng who was in charge of what happened tonight, how would you handle it?"
Gao Jing was so embarrassed that his face immediately turned red.
"If it's... He'er?"
Just thinking about it made him so happy that he jumped for joy along with his chair.
"Hehehe..."
Lin Mu was stunned and felt helpless.
"Pretend I didn't ask."
He changed the subject and complained casually.
"On the one hand, he said he would cut off my hand, and on the other hand, he said that his fiancée should not be polite to others. What is the reason is entirely up to Mr. Gao."
Gao Jing put away his pleased expression and spoke confidently.
"I don't allow you to mess around because I'm worried that you have some bad intentions; I don't need to be polite to the virtuous because I'm angry about my cousin. How can these two things be compared?"
"Yes, my cousin is indeed ugly, but you can't..."
At this point, Lin Mu frowned deeply, interrupted directly and gave a stern warning.
"Master Gao, be careful with your words!"
"Why do you say she's ugly? She's beautiful, like a clear spring, so charming and touching that I feel pity for her."
Gao Jing rolled his eyes.
"Are you taking the words that praise He'er and applying them to my cousin to ridicule her?"
Lin Mu gave the acupuncture meticulously and with a serious expression.
"I speak from the bottom of my heart, without any sarcasm."
Gao Jing responded with contempt and stuck to his own opinion.
"Humph, you talk so confidently, but you don't actually do anything. Unless you touch her, I won't believe you."
Lin Mu was indifferent and too lazy to argue with him.
"Whether you believe it or not is none of my business."
Thinking of He'er's graceful and elegant figure, Gao Jing smiled sweetly and spoke confidently and self-righteously.
"Don't be so pretentious. Your courtesy to my cousin is not a great skill. I don't need to think too much to know that if it were He'er, you would definitely sink into it and be unable to extricate yourself."
After the acupuncture was completed, Lin Mu first wiped the sweat off Sister He's forehead, and then took back several silver needles that had been inserted into the acupuncture points.
After a while, Qiu Bi woke up.
"Murang..."
Lin Mu smiled and comforted him softly.
"Sister He, if there is anything else that makes you unhappy, please tell me."
Qiu Bi looked aggrieved.
"You didn't touch me?"
Lin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
Why are the brother and sister so alike?
"Well, I didn't touch it."
Qiu Bi imitated Ning Jiewei's willful behavior.
"Then I'd rather not live."
Gao Jing looked frustrated.
"Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Qiu Bi was so disappointed that she couldn't help but get angry.
"Cousin you!"
Gao Jing's face turned stern.
"What am I? How dare I threaten my brother?"
Qiu Bi pursed her lips.
"Humph, I dare not."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Mu wanted to retreat.
If Mr. Gao gets angry and doesn't want to hurt his sister, then he will be the only one to be beaten.
"Please ask Master Gao to escort my cousin back to the mansion. I will go to the next room and carry Master Zhuang on my back."
Qiu Bi gradually regained consciousness and suddenly woke up with a start.
"Where are my father and mother?"
Gao Jing pointed in a direction.
"I just passed by and saw that they were all sleeping in the dining room."
Lin Mu had some idea.
"Did Lord Zhuang give you medicine? Don't worry, Sister He. I will diagnose your pulse and give you acupuncture. I will return home when you are well again."
Qiu Bi nodded.
"okay."
