Chapter 38

Yang Zijin sneered, “n.o.ble lady? For me, I will never care about such ident.i.ty.”

“Never care about? You have to!” Shuo Ling's tone became cold at this moment. He was so grim that Yang Zijin even felt that she would be frozen by his eyes.

At the moment, Yang Zijin was completely furious so that she didn't care about the expression of Shuo Ling, and just shouted as him, “Even if I restored the ident.i.ty of Miss. Mu, the daughter of the Duke, I would never care about what they said, let alone when I am still an ordinary person today. I will only be myself.”

“But when you return to the mansion of the Duke in the future, you will have no choice but accept it.” Shuo Ling said still grimly.

Yang Zijin didn't change her att.i.tude, “If it happened, if I needed to change as a result, I would never accept the ident.i.ty!”

Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Shuo Ling was amazed first, and then calmed down gradually.

He couldn't help thinking that it is because Yang Zijin was unique that he liked to get along with her at first. Different from other girls with an affectation of style, it seemed that she could always cope with any problems with appropriate methods. She had never asked for help as long as she could bear it by herself. He likes Yang Zijin best just because of her fearlessness. Then they became best friends. If Yang Zijin changed her original temperament for ident.i.ty, would he still treat Yang Zijin as he did now?

Thinking of this, Shuo Ling suddenly found that he didn't simply like Yang Zijin. At first he approached Yang Zijin because she was special, and he was attracted by her. Then he helped her because Chus.h.i.+ Weiming discovered Yang Zijin ‘s ident.i.ty. But now he is so worried about Yang Zijin ‘s situation after regaining her ident.i.ty. Why? Did it mean that he had fallen in…

Shuo Ling stopped thinking. He put down the book and no longer looked at Yang Zijin. He just fled out of the study room, leaving Yang Zijin alone confused.

Mo Li, who had been standing outside the door, was also confused. Just now, it was peace in the room. Then they quarreled somehow. Mo Li only heard that they talk about something concerning ident.i.ty, then what's the ident.i.ty of Mr. Yang?

Since his lords.h.i.+p met Mr. Yang, Mo Li felt that his temperament had changed a lot. He had been with Shuo Ling since he was a child. It was the first time he saw him in a panic.

Yang Zijin didn't think much about Shuo Ling's strange behavior just now. He did everything on the spur of the moment. Yang Zijin believed that Shuo Ling was now kind to her just because of her ident.i.ty and background, like Chus.h.i.+ Weiming. They just wanted to benefit from it. Or maybe it was just for fun or the spur of the moment. There were plenty of playboys in n.o.ble families, so she would never care about them.

Yang Zijin adjusted her emotions. Today, she encountered too many accidents and felt very tired. She went back to her yard and took the antidote prescribed by Uncle Liu and fell asleep.

During dinner, Yang Zijin was awakened by Mo Li, but she did not see Shuo Ling when eating. As for Qiao Shu, she may be stuck in the preparation of porridge for tomorrow.

After a quick dinner, Yang Zijin felt that the priority was to remove the poison inside her body. Today was the first day of taking medicine. She planned to ask Uncle Liu again tomorrow morning. Then Yang Zijin fell asleep immediately.

Because of sleeping early, Yang Zijin got up early in the morning. After was.h.i.+ng, she did not forget to take a jar of peach wine, and went to the market to buy some food. Only then did she go to the Uncle Liu Medical Center.

From afar, she saw Uncle Liu scolding Mo Shang. Mo Shang saw Yang Zijin, and quickly hid behind her, complaining to her with grievances, “Zijin, oh my G.o.d, come here, please. Mr. Liu asked me to get up so early to grind medicine in the morning. I was not awake then!”

“You little jerk! You dare to complain to Young Master.” Uncle Liu said, taking up the broom again to hit Mo Shang.

Mo Shang was so scared that his shoulders shrank, and he grabbed Yang Zijin tightly.

Seeing these two funny fellows, Yang Zijin couldn't help shaking her head with a smile. She walked toward them and persuaded, “Uncle Liu, Mo Shang is still a child, and you are too strict with him.”

“Too strict? If I weren't strict, he would have uncovered the roof.” Uncle Liu snorted, like a child who quarreled and refused to lose.

Yang Zijin smiled bitterly. She knew the temper of Uncle Liu. She cleared her throat and said, “Today, I have a serious thing to ask you, Uncle Liu.”

“What's the matter?” Sure enough, after hearing this, Uncle Liu soon changed his expression.

Handing the food in her hands to Mo Shang, Yang Zijin motioned to Mo Shang to hurry in, and then said to Uncle Liu, “I took the antidote you gave yesterday, but I don't know why my head still hurts badly.”

“What? Although it was the first day of taking antidote, it would not cause a headache again. Did you eat poisonous things again carelessly? Come in, let me check your pulse.” Uncle Liu took it seriously.

Looking at Uncle Liu frowning, Yang Zijin snickered, but put her hand obediently in front of Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu felt the pulse of Yang Zijin, which was obviously much better than before. Looking at Yang Zijin with a faint smile, he guessed her intention and said unhappily, “OK, now you are even coming to tease me!”

“Uncle Liu, calm down, please. It's all my fault.” Yang Zijin said with a smile.

Uncle Liu turned aside and didn't want to talk to her.

After clearing his throat, Yang Zijin said aloud, “Mo Shang, take the peach wine and food I brought. Now that your Master is so angry today, maybe he doesn't want to eat these things.”

“Of course not. I can eat as much as you have brought.” Uncle Liu hurriedly said after hearing the peach wine.

Yang Zijin walked to Uncle Liu and asked gently, “Are you still angry now?”

“Angry? I will never be angry with you little kid! Bring me the wine and food as soon as possible.” Once Uncle Liu knew there was wine, he immediately felt that bugs were crawling around his stomach.

Seeing that Master was not angry anymore, Mo Shang quickly responded, “OK, Master.”

“Stinky boy, you are so slow. I'm thirsty!” Uncle Liu urged again.

They sat around a small table, and they happily talked about what Uncle Liu saw and heard outside. When Uncle Liu was drinking, he did not forget to remind Yang Zijin to take today's antidote.

It was around 10 pm, Yang Zijin exchanged a few words with Uncle Liu and was going to return. She also wanted to visit the Blossoming Peach.

Two days ago, Yang Zijin received letters from her elder brothers Pei Moning and Lin Mei from the Moonlight. They said that they would arrive at Jing City soon. She wrote back and asked them to go directly to the Blossoming Peach.

In the past two days, she had been busy with her affairs, and had not confessed to Xian and others. She had to prepare something in case that brother and Lin Mei said that she neglected them….

Before entering the house, Yang Zijin heard cheers from the girls in the courtyard. Listening carefully, there was a voice of a strange man, like the voice of the elder brother. So she stepped into the Blossoming Peach quickly.

The person had a delicate appearance – thin and gorgeous face, black hair in a bun, thick eyebrows, beautiful long eyes, and straight nose. He looked handsome in a red robe.

At this time, he was holding a sword, using it freely, turning around, leaping, picking a sword. He played Kungfu with the sword like a moving snake, or a swimming dragon. Sometimes he jumped up with the tip of the sword on the ground, just like a swallow. He moved quickly as a wind, making flowers fall, and the girls all cast their eyes on him admirably.

He is exactly Pei Moning, Yang Ziqin's elder brother.

Pei Moning is a gangster living in no fixed place, but he attached great importance to friends.h.i.+p. He knew a lot of talented people. He became a sworn brother of Yang Zijin just because of her special personality and right-minded thoughts.

“Hey! Moning.” Yang Ziqin shouted.

Upon hearing the sound, Pei Moning put away the sword and looked back at Yang Zijin with a smile.

“I haven't seen you in a few days, you are still so handsome.” Yang Zijin walked to Pei Moning and quipped.

Seeing Yang Ziqin still like this, Pei Moning did not say anything, and tapped on her head lightly, “Well, you asked me to go back to Jing City. Just tell me what happened.”

“Nothing, just because I miss you so much.” Yang Zijin rubbed the head where Pei Moning had hit before.

Hearing Yang Ziqin say so, Pei Moning squinted at her, “Really?”

“Oh, please, forget it.” Yang Zijin took Pei Moning ‘s arm.

Then she turned around and said to Xian, “Prepare some wine and dishes to the backyard. Today I will enjoy the wine to the full with my brother!”

Then she took Pei Moning to the backyard, talking and laughing.

“No problem! My lord.” Xian answered as he looked at the two of them.

Along the way, Pei Moning felt that the layout of the Blossoming Peach was special, but it wouldn't be strange to him. He was such a knowledgeable and experienced person.

In the backyard, Yang Zijin served tea and poured water.

Seeing Yang Ziqin doing so, Pei Moning pretended to be a little angry and said, “Tell me, why did you shut down the Spring Breeze and open up this business?”

“This is a long story!” After sighing, Yang Zijin put the cup filled with tea in front of Pei Moning.

Hearing that, Pei Moning frowned. “What happened before?”

“You did not know that the previous Spring Breeze was completely burned by a fire at one night. Fortunately, someone told me in advance, otherwise these girls would die in the fire.” Then Yang Zijin's eyes were full of disappointment.

Pei Moning became furious. He pounded the table and stood up. “This is what happened! Do you know who did this? Why didn't you mention it in the letter?”

Looking at the elder brother who was so anxious for her, Yang Zijin said softly, “It was because of me.”

“Because of you? It was unusual. Did you offend someone with high status in the Spring Breeze?” Pei Moning calmed down gradually and asked with a worried expression.

Yang Zijin shook her head, “That's not the case, do you know the Duke of Mu House?”

“I know a little about the Duke of Mu House in Jing City. I heard that the Duke of Mu married Princess Royal in his early years. But Princess Royal died early, and one of their children also disappeared. What does it matter?” Pei Moning was puzzled.
