You He seized the opportunity to escape, turned around, widened the distance between them, and said, "Little Lord has finally co to his senses."
Mu Qingge awkwardly smiled and replied, "These days, I’ve been so absorbed in alchemy that my head feels a little dizzy."
"So Little Lord, what are you planning to do in the future?" You He asked. She rembered that the Wei siblings still wanted to follow Little Lord to the Yu Country dicine Tower.
Mu Qingge thought for a mont and replied, "Although I don’t know why Wei Linlang wants to do this, since he has already made a move, I’ll just pretend I don’t know anything and cooperate with him."
You He thought for a bit and also nodded.
In her view, Little Lord’s approach further eliminated unnecessary awkwardness.
Moreover, she could see that the Wei siblings’ feelings for their master weren’t really deep affection, just re fondness.
Perhaps, over ti, they would realize their master is not soone they can compare to.
But then, the question returns.
Such an excellent master, who can be worthy? Who can soar alongside her, hand in hand until old age?
You He seriously pondered and still felt there was no one!
...
A day passed swiftly.
Today, the normally low-key Wei Mansion was exceptionally lively.
Early in the morning, the entire residence was joyously cleaning and decorating. The kitchen was hectic, with famous Li Country dishes being brought to the table.
Before dusk, the sound of music and drums already echoed above the mansion, and the dancing girls, hired at a great expense, danced gracefully on the waterside pavilion.
Those unaware speculated about the unusualness of the Wei Mansion.
The inford people of Wei Mansion only knew that the long-ill City Lord’s wife was unexpectedly well! The City Lord was overjoyed and thus organized such a grand banquet.
Those with even more insight subtly knew the Lady’s recovery was related to the newly arrived guest.
It seed that the guest who returned with the young Lord and Lady, dressed in red like the sun, vibrant as blood, with unparalleled beauty and ambiguity in gender, healed the Lady’s chronic illness. The Lord City Lord was all smiles, and the Wei Mansion swept away the haze accumulated over the years, like being bathed in sunlight.
Before the banquet began, Wei Linlang personally went to invite Mu Qingge.
When Mu Qingge saw Wei Linlang, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She felt Wei Linlang was being overly formal; she didn’t think she had done anything remarkable.
"Brother Mu, please." Wei Linlang swept away years of concerns, standing even taller and with more of a smile.
Mu Qingge nodded and walked alongside her towards the flower hall where the banquet was held.
"How is the Lady?" Mu Qingge hadn’t visited the Wei Lady today.
For one, she thought they had many things to talk about as a family.
For another, she had already confird the Wei Lady was well, so there was no need to disturb further.
Now inquiring, was rely speaking casually.
Must she walk silently all the way to the flower hall?
Upon ntioning his wife’s condition, Wei Linlang instantly transford from a formidable hero to a loving husband. He spoke kindly to Mu Qingge, "The Lady is much better and can speak with us. But her body hasn’t fully recovered, so she’s inconvenient to attend the banquet tonight. She expressed a desire to see Brother Mu in person to thank you."
"I will visit the Lady another day and, incidentally, refine so elixir for her to strengthen her constitution," Mu Qingge said.
Wei Linlang was delighted, hurriedly clasped his hands, and said, "Then I will have to trouble Brother Mu. If you need any dicinal materials for alchemy, feel free to ntion it, and I’ll have people prepare them."
