I Don't Want to Hear that Name Again (Update 1)

Although Su Liang was quickly beaten by Ning Jing and had to change a wooden stake, the two did not stop.

Fighting on the plum blossom stake requires extremely strong concentration.

In the previous training, the weapon was held in the hand, and the leg moves were relatively few. The plum blossom stake was specially made by Ning Jing for Su Liang to make up for her weaknesses.

At dusk, the two came out of the martial arts field. Su Liang was analyzing her shortcomings, and Ning Jing listened but did not say anything.

Until late at night, no one came to find Su Liang.

She knew that Ning Jing had said it.

Duanmu Che might not read the letter she sent, and he might not believe it after reading it.

And she had something to ask of someone, so she couldn't sneak into the Fifth Prince's Mansion without saying hello and show him a set of punches to prove that she was not powerless?

The Su family is dead, and the truth and revenge must be investigated, but not in a hurry. She is facing a member of the royal family, so she needs to be cautious and have enough strength.

From this perspective, Duanmu Chen and Duanmu Che are no different to Su Liang.

…

The next day, Su Liang resumed his life in Sujia Village, practicing martial arts, reading books when tired, and no longer thinking about what happened to Duanmu Che.

In the afternoon, Ning Jing went out alone to the Duke Qin's mansion, saying that he was giving acupuncture to the old Duke Qin on behalf of Su Liang, and the Qin family was very surprised.

Qin Yujin asked, "Is Sister Liang feeling unwell?"

Ning Jing nodded, "She didn't know what she got, and she got a rash and couldn't go out."

Originally wanted to say that Su Liang was just very busy, but felt that this was not good, and it might make them feel that Su Liang didn't take the old Duke Qin's illness seriously.

After all, Su Liang believed that it made no difference whether Ning Jing came or she came.

But the Qin family had never heard that Ning Jing also knew medical skills before, so they naturally had doubts about his medical skills.

Qin Yujin looked worried, "Is it serious? Do we need to ask the imperial physician? I'll go see Sister Liang!"

Ning Jing shook his head, "It's serious, but she can treat herself. She can't come into contact with people for the time being."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he hinted to Qin Yujin that it might be contagious.

Qin Yujin sighed deeply, "How could this happen? She was fine the day before yesterday."

"She went out of the city to worship her grandfather yesterday, and she became like that after she came back." Ning Jing said.

Qin Yujin frowned, "Maybe she accidentally touched some poisonous grass on the mountain."

So, Su Liang didn't go out, and Qin Yujin couldn't come to her house.

The Qin family watched as Ning Jing skillfully gave acupuncture to the old Duke Qin, exactly the same as Su Liang's method.

"It turns out that Master Ning is also a doctor, he is really hidden!" Qin Kang sighed.

Ning Jing shook his head, "He only knows a little bit, and he is still learning."

The Qin family thought he was modest.

Ning Jing left after finishing the work, saying that he would come tomorrow, and asked Qin Yujin to tell Lin Xueqing and Xing Yusheng not to go to the Su Mansion for the time being.

Qin Yujin agreed, telling him not to worry, they would meet again after Su Liang recovered.

Ning Jing rode away from the Qin Guogong Mansion alone, and not long after, he "ran into" Xiao Muyun.

Xiao Muyun only saw Ning Jing at the time and place when he waited for Su Liang yesterday, and asked him, "Where is Liang'er?"

Ning Jing's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, "There is no engagement, and you call her by her maiden name, you are destroying her reputation."

Xiao Muyun's face sank slightly, "We had an agreement a long time ago, but she forgot it!"

"If she forgets, it no longer exists." Ning Jing said coldly.

"Ning Jing, stop making excuses here. You don't like her, why don't you break up with her? What is your intention?" Xiao Muyun snorted coldly.

Ning Jing was silent for a moment and said, "I want to break up, but she doesn't agree."

Xiao Muyun's face suddenly became very interesting, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Ning Jing rode around and left.

"Sir..." Xiao Muyun's follower whispered, "Forget it."

Xiao Muyun glanced at him coldly, "When will it be your turn to teach me what to do?"

The follower looked terrified, "I dare not."

...

Ning Jing returned home and told Su Liang that her good friends all knew that she had a rash and could not go out or see anyone.

Su Liang heard this, not only did he not think it was bad for Ning Jing to lie on his own initiative, but he gave a thumbs up, "This excuse is great! Xing Yusheng and Xue Qing are in love, and they always want to drag me in the middle to do something, let them play by themselves."

...

So, every day Ning Jing went to give acupuncture to Qin Laoguogong, and Su Liang practiced martial arts in seclusion at home. Only occasionally Ning Jing secretly brought Zheng'er back, let him see Su Liang, and then sent him back.

After three days, Duanmu Chen sent Chang'an to find Su Liang. It happened that Su Liang was resting and reading in the room at that time, and Chang'an was blocked outside by Ning Jing.

"Mr. Ning, excuse me. My master wants to see Miss Su." Chang'an said politely.

"She's sick." Ning Jing repeated what he said to Qin Yujin to Chang'an.

Chang'an was surprised, "When will this... be well?"

Su Liang's voice came from the room, "About ten days or half a month." So when she goes out, she can go directly to participate in the martial arts selection.

Chang'an didn't expect this to be the case, so he asked Su Liang directly, "The matter that the master talked to Miss Su about before..."

Su Liang sighed, "I went there twice that day, but I couldn't get in."

Chang'an nodded, "I understand. Miss Su, take good care of yourself, I will tell the master. Goodbye."

Just as he was about to leave, Chang'an remembered something and turned back to ask, "Has the second prince bothered Miss Su recently?"

"I'm at home and haven't gone out, so there's no trouble." Su Liang said.

Chang'an left.

Su Liang walked out of the room, "It's strange that Duanmu Ao didn't find anyone to kill me. It's hard for Nian Ruxue not to be angry with me. She once asked Yanyun Tower to kill you. This time..."

Speaking of Yanyun Tower, Su Liang was thinking that the ones in power now should be Yan Shiba and Yan Shiqi. Considering their previous "friendship", they shouldn't take over the task of killing her, right?

Ning Jing expressed his opinion, "Duanmu Ao is struggling to find someone to treat his illness. Nian Ruxue has no money."

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Maybe you were right."

She had crippled Duanmu Ao at that time. It was naturally impossible for Duanmu Ao to publicize such a thing, but as a pervert, he was even more unlikely to accept his fate. He decided to find someone to treat her in secret and could not bother to trouble Su Liang for the time being.

As for the fact that Nian Ruxue has no money, Su Liang thinks it is not certain, but it is very possible. She had previously hired a killer from Yanyun Tower to find Gu Ling, and there might not have been someone behind the scenes. Normally, it was impossible for a young lady like her to have so much cash. Even if Yan Yunlou's mission is cancelled, the money will not be refunded.

Su Liang felt that Nian Ruxue might be deceiving Nian Jincheng by saying he had withdrawn the task. But something happened to Yan Shiba at that time, and he lost contact with Yan Yunlou, so he could not confirm the matter.

Su Liang quickly put this matter behind her and continued busy with her own affairs.

…

Chang'an went back to report to Duanmu Chen that Su Liang was ill and could not go out or see people.

"She is a doctor herself." Duanmu Chen frowned, but after thinking about it, it was not strange for a doctor to be sick.

It's just that Duanmu Chen was a little surprised that Su Liang was sick at this time.

"Duanmu Che actually refused to see her." Duanmu Chen hummed, "She won't give up easily."

"But it just so happens that Miss Su is ill and cannot go to the fifth prince for the time being." Chang'an said.

"It's such a coincidence, is she playing some trick?" Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes.

Chang An shook his head, "My subordinates didn't find any flaws. Miss Su lied about being sick and couldn't go out. What good would it do to her? Are you afraid that the second prince will send someone to kill her?"

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "Impossible. If she dares to provoke Duanmu Ao, she won't be afraid. She even hopes that Duanmu Ao will cause trouble for her so that she can fight back."

"My subordinates cannot force me to see Miss Su." Chang'an said.

"Forget it. She will come out eventually, and she will definitely go find Duanmu Che. We'll talk about it then," Duanmu Chen said.

…

It's the first day of February in a blink of an eye.

Su Liang never left the house after that day, focusing on practicing martial arts and reading books.

Ning Jing only goes out once a day, to the Duke of Qin's mansion.

Mr. Qin can speak normally and sit up, but he is temporarily unable to walk. The Qin brothers and sisters and Xing Yusheng would push Mr. Qin to the garden to bask in the sun when the weather was nice.

Lin Xueqing went there often and got along well with Xing Yusheng. Mr. Qin couldn't help but smile when he saw her. He was very satisfied with his grandson-in-law who had never married.

Xing Ji and Qin Kang went to Lin Shuzhi together to formally get engaged.

The marriage was granted without setting a date. Lin Shuzhi said that he would wait until his second son returned to Beijing from the south before discussing the date. Both the Xing family and the Qin family expressed their understanding.

All the ingredients Su Liang needs are delivered regularly by Wanhui. Any new materials from the Yan Family Embroidery Shop are sent to Su Liang first. Apart from cooking, there is nothing to worry about in life.

Wanhui proposed to arrange a cook for Su Liang, but Ningjing refused.

Su Liang had the same idea when he found out. She and Ningjing couldn't live with others, and they couldn't talk freely like that. Whether it was the martial arts that Ning Jing taught her or the various knowledge that she taught Ning Jing, they could not be known to outsiders.

The second day of February is the day for martial arts registration. The competition and selection starts on the fifth day of the lunar month and lasts until the middle of the month.

The semi-finals of the martial arts examination will be held together with the civil examination and the top thirty will be selected.

The finals will be held the day before the civil examination, and the top three will be selected.

Su Liang asked Ping Jing that he had to go in person to register. She went out again after many days, thinking that after registering, she would stop by to see Lin Shuzhi and Lin Xueqing, then go to the Duke of Qin's Mansion for a follow-up consultation with Mr. Qin, and then go to Wanhui's place for dinner to meet Zheng'er.

In this way, you can go around the necessary social activities in one day, and then go into retreat the next day.

…

There was a long line of people waiting in line at the famous Wu report office early in the morning.

From the beginning to the end of the line, they are all men.

But as in previous years, a registration point was set up nearby for women who wanted to participate in the martial arts competition without queuing. This was intended to encourage more women to participate.

The reason was what Ning Jing told Su Liang. There were female generals in the enemy country, and they had publicly ridiculed the women of Qian Kingdom for knowing how to embroider, so the royal family wanted female warriors to come forward.

It's not that women are expected to go to war. To put it bluntly, it's just for the sake of face.

The Qian Kingdom did not really recommend women to practice martial arts. Women were still bound by strict dogma and rules.

There was a fair and thin young man in the team who was very handsome, so some people teased him and asked him to go to the girl's side to sign up.

The young man ignored it and was not affected at all.

Back then, when Ruxue and her maid appeared near the famous place of military reporting, they instantly caused a commotion.

"Is Miss Nian's martial arts very good?"

"Who knows?"

"It's amazing! I heard that she kept it secret and was taught by General Nian!"

"Is there going to be a female martial arts champion this year?"

"not sure!"

…

Nian Ruxue didn't seem to be affected by the marriage decree at all. When she appeared in front of others, she was dressed up carefully and walked straight to the women's registration office with a smile on her face.

Looking at the empty registration book, Nian Ruxue smiled gently, "Isn't there anyone else coming?"

The official in charge shook his head, "No. Will the fourth-year young lady want to participate?"

Nian Ruxue nodded, "Yes."

Officials registered Nian Ruxue's information and gave her a number plate.

After the registration is over, the groups will be drawn according to the number plate.

Nian Ruxue smiled lightly as she listened to the compliments around her.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw a person appear in her sight, which made her expression suddenly change!

"Miss, that's not..." The maid recognized Su Liang, who had been with Qin Yujin.

Nian Ruxue stood near the registration table and did not leave, watching Su Liang approach.

Su Liang didn't expect to meet Nian Ruxue, and the onlookers were all asking, but no one knew Su Liang's identity.

"Is Miss Su also here to sign up?" Nian Ruxue's smile deepened.

Su Liang nodded, filled out the registration form, and got her number plate, No. 111.

"Miss Su, a chance encounter is worse than an invitation. Can you please go drink tea with me? I'll invite you." Nian Ruxue said in a gentle tone.

Su Liang turned around and said, "No time."

Nian Ruxue's eyes dimmed as she watched Su Liang strode away, and she also took the people away.

Soon, news spread throughout the capital that Nian Ruxue, the fourth daughter of the Nian family, and Su Yuanzhou's resurrected granddaughter had signed up for the martial arts examination.

…

The Fifth Prince's Mansion.

The old doctor checked Duanmu Che's pulse, wrote a prescription, and told him to take the medicine on time.

"Thank you." Duanmu Che's expression remained calm.

The old doctor hesitated for a moment and then said, "I wonder if the Fifth Prince still remembers the Su Yuanzhou from before?"

Duanmu Che's eyes narrowed slightly, "Why mention him?"

The old doctor said, "I thought that all his family members were gone, but I didn't know that there was still a granddaughter alive. A few days ago, the old Duke of Qin had a stroke and asked me to come over. I met the girl at the Duke's Mansion, her name was Su Liang. "

The old slave next to him frowned.

The old doctor continued, "I didn't expect that the little girl from the Su family has very good medical skills, especially the golden needle technique. She is very powerful. I went to see the old Duke of Qin yesterday. He is recovering well and will be able to go to the ground soon. "

Duanmu Che frowned and said nothing.

"Should we invite the little girl from the Su family to treat His Highness the Fifth Prince? Maybe she will have some good ideas." The old doctor said respectfully.

"No need." Duanmu Che said coldly.

The old doctor turned around and sighed.

After he left, the old slave hesitated to speak, but finally asked, "How about I go investigate that Su Liang again? If her medical skills are really good, you can..."

"For the last time, I don't want to hear that name again." Duanmu Che's eyes were slightly cold.
