♂?，，

  Two quarters of an hour later, Li Mingyu looked at Lin Lan who was sitting on the kang with a pouting face and comforted her: "I said I wouldn't go to see her, it's better to be quiet, no need to please both sides, anyway, the message has already been delivered to Liu Niang."

  "But I've already promised Aunt Liu, and now I'd be going back on my word."

  "What's wrong with that? What's the point of thinking so much?" Li Mingyun took off his shoes and got on the kang, picking up a book from the kang table to flip through.

  Yinliu handed the copper hand warmer with a silver filigree pattern to Second Young Mistress, smiling and saying: "Second Young Mistress hasn't seen patients for several days, your hands must be itching."

  Lin Lan shot her a glance: "I knew it was on your mind."

  Li Mingyun laughed and said: "When the shop is opened, there will be a lot of work to do."

  "There's nothing much to be busy with, miscellaneous tasks are taken care of by Old Wu, Second Brother can sit in the hall, Fifth Brother is in charge of medicinal materials, and I'm responsible for preparing Baoning pills and whatnot. Occasionally, I'll go out for a stroll, barely qualifying as a shopkeeper." Mentioning the pharmacy, Lin Lan's mood improved.

  "Second Young Mistress, you can also let me handle the preparation of medicinal materials. I guarantee that I will do it flawlessly." Xinyu came to ask for tasks and looked at Second Young Mistress with expectation.

  Lin Lan glanced at her sideways, this little girl had indeed become clever, but now was not the time. Lin Lan said: "This preparation of medicinal materials is not something to be taken lightly, wait until you've studied for another three to five years, and maybe then you can take over this task."

  Yin Liu was initially disappointed, but then thought about what the second young mistress had said and realized that she only knew some superficial things and there was still much to learn. She calmed down and sincerely said: "I will definitely study hard and in the future I will also help alleviate the worries of the second young mistress."

  Lin Lan smiled and sent her away, not going to disturb Li Mingyun reading books, leaning on the big pillow with closed eyes in deep thought. Just now in the Chao Hui Hall, her father asked her to go see Liu Niangniang's illness, but the old witch's reaction seemed a bit strange. If it was jealousy, the old witch should be angry! But the old witch was flashing her eyes, losing control of her behavior, clearly showing a nervous and guilty appearance. Could it be... that Liu Niangniang's illness was caused by the old witch? Lin Lan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

  Li Ming was startled by her while reading a book: "What's wrong?"

  Lin Lan took off her shoes under the kang: "I have to go to Liu Niang's place."

  Li Mingyu hastily pulled her back: "Father has already called a doctor, what are you going to do?"

  "I suspect Liu Niang's illness is related to the old witch, I have to go take a look."

  "It's even more unnecessary to go, thinking that if it's really the old witch's doing, Father will get confirmation from other doctors, which is more credible than getting it from here. And the old witch can't blame us either. Let's just be bystanders and let them fight each other." Li Ming allowed her to pull her back onto the kang, pulled over the quilt and wrapped her in it, one arm hugging her: "Just rest your mind and stay here with me to watch the play, I'll carry you to sleep later."

  Lin Lan pouted and buried her face in his chest, feeling uncomfortable and mysterious. The veil of secrecy had only been lifted a little, but Li Mingyu didn't let her continue. However, what he said made sense - if the old witch really did something to Liu Niang, it was better not to reveal it through her hands.

  "How can there be such speculation? What evidence is there?" Li Mingyun asked.

  "They didn't let me go see, how would I have evidence? According to what Qiu said, Liu Niang felt a slight pain in her stomach last month, and the pain worsened over the past few days. Plus, Father intentionally wanted her to give birth to a child for the Li family, so she started taking it seriously. If not for the old witch's unusual reaction, I wouldn't have had such suspicions. At that time, she was flustered and a bit guilty, clearly hiding something in her heart. However, this is just my own speculation, whether it's true or not can only be known after waiting.

  Lin Lan said regretfully, if this were true, how great would that be? It would have moved the heart of Father's precious daughter, how could Father let it go?"

  Li Mingyu's arm tightened involuntarily. If it was true, then it would be a good thing for his revenge plan. He said calmly, "I'll pay attention to it."

  The man's arms were warm, his clothes had a faint scent of fragrant grass, and listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, Lin Lan felt drowsy.

  Li Mingyun lowered his head and looked at the snow-white face of the person in his arms, which seemed to have a layer of transparent fine fluff under the lamp light, making it even more tender and lovely. Li Mingyun lowered his head again and gently kissed Lin Lan's clean forehead.

  "Second Master, Second Mistress..." Yu Rong reported from outside.

  Li Mingyun really didn't want to disturb Lin Lan's peaceful sleep, but Yu Rong called out again. Li Mingyun let out a quiet sigh and asked, "What is it?"

  "Master Rong told Second Young Mistress to hurry over to the Western Crossroads Courtyard." Yurong replied.

  Li Ming allowed his eyebrows to furrow, "The Western Cross Institute? Isn't that where Liu Niang's residence is?"

  Lin Lan heard the sound and woke up in a daze. When she heard Yu Rong's words, she didn't react for a moment.

  Li Mingyun felt the person in his arms move slightly and asked softly, "Did I wake you up?"

  Lin Lan rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked drowsily: "Where did Father ask me to go?"

  "It's possible that something really happened on Liu Niang's side, Father told me to go take a look."

  "What?" Lin Lan suddenly woke up and hastily got out of bed.

  Li Mingyun let Yu Rong come in and give Lin Lan water to wash her face.

  Lin Lan finished tidying up and saw Li Mingyu take her cloak and walk over, he himself was also armed, looking like he was about to go out.

  "It's still far, just forget it, I'll go myself."

  "It's snowy and the road is slippery, I'd better accompany you on this trip, so I won't be worried to death." Li Mingyu said in agreement, then went to instruct Yurong: "Tell Ruyi to light up that crystal wind lamp."

  Two people braved the wind and snow to head west across the courtyard, passing through the corridor, and after walking down a small alley, they arrived at the west wing of the courtyard. Suddenly, a lantern appeared in front of them, and a servant quietly reminded him, "Master Hua, watch your step..."

  Is that Dr. Hua? Lin Lan involuntarily raised her head, and the person in front of her was wearing a cyan-colored feather cloak, with an upright posture, even slightly taller than Ming Yun. As he approached gradually... Lin Lan met those dark, gentle eyes, and suddenly froze, it was actually Hua Shao, Hua Wenbo.

  Li Mingyun's hand clearly felt Lin Lan's body stiffen, and he also quietly looked at the person in front of him.

  Lin Lan felt inexplicably guilty, as if she had been wearing a mask to do something bad and was suddenly exposed. She hastily lowered her head, hoping he hadn't recognized her.

  Huawen Bo didn't really notice Lin Lan, but thought that this couple was a perfect match, the woman was lovely and gentle, the man was handsome and elegant, they were indeed a heavenly pair. Moreover, he felt that the woman looked familiar, of course, it wouldn't be polite to stare at someone else's wife. At this time, the servant next to him bowed to the couple: "Your humble servant has seen Young Master and Young Mistress..."

  Is this Mrs. Li's second daughter? Huà Wén Bó's heart skipped a beat as his eyes involuntarily turned to the woman.
