Chapter 241 Going into the Mountains to Find Trees
Si Qi looked confused: "Did anything else happen last night?"
Mu Ningyuan pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
I feel a little relieved, but also a little disappointed.
"You're the one who's drunk, but you still refuse to go back to sleep." When he looked up again, his expression had returned to normal.
Si Qi scratched his head and smiled guiltily, without doubting the truthfulness of what he said.
"I am quite noisy when I am drunk." I could only admit it humbly.
"Then don't drink so much outside in the future, especially with people you don't know well." Mu Ningyuan did not forget to remind him.
"Oh, I understand." Si Qi responded sullenly.
Mu Ningyuan suddenly remembered that the little girl said last night that she didn't like him to be too controlling.
I don’t know if this counts?
Will it cause her to be disgusted again?
But I can't help but worry.
"If Qi'er doesn't like to hear these words, I won't say them anymore in the future." Lord Mu said in a slightly low voice.
Si Qi quickly denied it: "I don't mind hearing it. I know Brother Mu is doing this for my own good!"
Mu Ningyuan sighed silently and said nothing.
He didn't say a word until he got into the carriage.
In fact, he himself doesn't like to talk.
I only say a few more words to people I like or good friends.
Lord Mu, the Minister of Dali Temple, is well-known for his eccentric and taciturn personality.
His mother also said that he was a taciturn person.
However, seeing how he was in this state, Si Qi thought he was angry.
She moved to his side and asked in a low voice: "Brother Mu, are you angry with me?"
"No. Why would Qi'er think so?" Mu Ningyuan was a little surprised.
"Because you haven't spoken to me since a while ago."
"I'm worried that Qi'er will think that I'm like your brother and I like to discipline you. So I just won't say anything." Mu Ningyuan forced a bitter smile.
In the carriage, Shen Yindi and Chu Yan sat on the other side.
They were talking just now, but Shen Yindi was also secretly observing the movements of these two people and felt that something was wrong.
The carriage was so small that even though they had intentionally lowered their voices, Shen Yindi's keen hearing still heard every word they said.
Is this considered being forced to eat melons? Shen Yindi blinked her beautiful eyes.
But it's pretty good.
She would also be happy if their relationship could make new progress.
On this side, Si Qi also felt a little depressed when he heard Mu Ningyuan's words.
"No, Brother Mu, don't misunderstand me!"
Lord Mu thought to himself, you said it yourself last night.
Tell the truth after drinking.
He was now deliberately controlling himself to say less so as not to cause her greater disgust.
"No misunderstanding. Qi'er, don't think too much." He still tried to comfort Si Qi.
But Si Qi felt that he had changed, something was wrong, so she didn't know what to say.
The two of them fell silent. The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
This matter is quite serious as it can make the talkative Si Qi quiet down.
Not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward, Shen Yindi looked at Mu Ningyuan and asked with concern, "Master Mu, how is your mother now?"
"According to the time, I have to go over to see her again in the next two days."
His mother was suffering from cancer at the time.
Fortunately, it was not yet in the advanced stage, and her anti-cancer drugs were effective, helping her to save her life from the brink of death.
"She is fine now, and her complexion is much better. She has no problem moving around normally. But she still has a bit of energy. It may be because of her age."
Compared with his previous situation, Mu Ningyuan is already very satisfied.
"Then I'll go over and take a look at her, and then prescribe some medicine to nourish her mind and help her sleep."
"Thank you, Miss Shen."
"You're welcome, Master Mu."
"Oh, by the way, Qi'er, have you ever been to Lord Mu's house?" Shen Yindi asked with deliberate curiosity.
"I haven't been there!" Si Qi shook his head.
"Then I'll go see Auntie for a follow-up visit in a couple of days. Do you want to come with me?" Shen Yindi invited with a smile.
Lord Mu was slightly startled, and suddenly there was some nervousness under his calm appearance.
He said nothing to avoid making things worse.
Let the little girl decide for herself, if she wants to go, she can go, if she doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to go. He didn't want to force her.
Si Qi glanced at the person next to her and saw that he didn't say anything, so she thought he didn't want her to go.
"I'm not going. What's so interesting about a follow-up visit? I don't know any medical skills." She said carelessly and nonchalantly.
The corner of Shen Yindi's mouth twitched. Her Qi'er's ability to grasp the key points was really...
She didn't know how to complain!
When Lord Mu heard her say this, his heart finally settled down.
She didn't even want to go to his house, she really didn't like him.
In this situation, Shen Yindi felt that there was no hope of recovery.
Forget it, let's stop for now. Otherwise, with Si Qi's erratic thinking, who knows how much more hurtful words he will say.
Lord Mu's heart must be broken at this moment, right?
Three seconds of sympathy.
The mountain in the western suburbs is out of the city and it takes more than half an hour for the carriage to arrive.
They could only chat sporadically.
There were six people coming out this time. In addition to Shen Yindi and the other four, Mu Ningyuan also brought two of his trusted confidants.
By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was almost noon.
Shen Yindi got off the carriage and took a look, only to find that the forest was indeed quite large. There were many trees, covered with thorns and overgrown with weeds.
It seems that not many people come here on normal days.
I thought of the clue left by Lord Lu Zhen: under the same big tree as Chu Yan’s people.
This range is really too big.
"Adi, what kind of tree do you think it is?" asked His Royal Highness the King of Zhenbei.
On the surface, he wanted to narrow the scope, but in fact, he just wanted to hear praise from his A Di.
Don't think Shen Yindi can't see it.
But she didn't refuse to answer his question.
She was never stingy when it came to praising Chu Yan.
"Just like your person, he must be upright, tall, tough and good-looking." Shen Yindi counted on his fingers.
A slight smile appeared on Chu Yan's lips.
"What do you think would happen if the forest was full of trees like this?"
"Impossible, how can there be so many such excellent trees?"
"I think it should be easy to find. The features are quite obvious. Otherwise, Lord Lu wouldn't have given this hint."
Mu Ningyuan also stood nearby and listened attentively.
There is no time to lose. Now that they are here, they must hurry up and go in to look for it, otherwise it will be too late before dark.
Shen Yindi is now eager to find this important evidence!
Mu Ningyuan's two trusted confidants led the way and cut down the weeds.
"Qi'er, you have to be careful not to get scratched by the weeds here. Many of them are poisonous." Shen Yindi did not forget to remind.
She held a bag in her hand and picked herbs while looking for trees.
There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs in this kind of forest.
There are quite a few trees there, but not many of them are straight, tall and majestic.
As they walked, they unknowingly reached the depths of the forest. Shen Yindi looked at the time and realized that they had been walking for an hour and a half. This kind of tree is really hard to find! It was really thoughtful of Master Lu Zhen to come in so far to bury it.
Shen Yindi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, look, there are two trees over there that seem to meet the requirements!"
