Am I Not?

[Am I not?]

Ning Jing refused on behalf of Su Liang without waiting for Mu Fei to explain, "She can't help you. Read 520 official website

��

Mu Fei looked unhappy, "I was talking to Su Liang about something, and didn't ask for your opinion."

Su Liang looked indifferent, "With Lord Mu's status, what kind of people does he have under him? I really can't help, and I'm really busy."

Mu Fei talked to himself, "I'm investigating iron ore smuggling, and I have reliable clues recently. As long as we can find an account book, we can find out who is involved. The account book is likely in the hands of Wu Yun, the veteran who guards the mine. He has made many military achievements, and because of his old age and injuries, he asked to guard the mine. He is known for his integrity and uprightness. "

"Wu Yun's other sons are in the capital, only his youngest son Wu Huaian is with him. Wu Huaian was injured and disabled on the battlefield many years ago, and Wu Yun looked for famous doctors, but they were helpless. "

"I want to send someone to sneak into Wu Huaian's residence, but I can't find a suitable candidate for the time being. If we alert the enemy and the account book is destroyed, all our efforts will fail."

Mu Fei stopped here.

Su Liang frowned, "You want me to approach the father and son as a doctor to help you find the account book?"

Mu Fei nodded, "You are the most suitable candidate. In recent years, only doctors can enter that house and see Wu Huaian."

"But just entering is not enough, you have to gain their trust, and it would be best if you can stay, is that what you mean?" Su Liang asked.

Mu Fei smiled, "I know you are smart and you can understand it at once."

"I understand, but I can't do it. You should ask someone else." Su Liang still refused.

Mu Fei frowned, "This matter is very important. If we can't catch them all, the country will be seriously threatened."

"This is a problem that needs to be solved by Lord Mu. I can't afford such a heavy responsibility. "Su Liang is self-aware.

Mu Fei said it simply, but it is extremely difficult and risky to do it.

If it was done by the father and son of the military generals who were apparently loyal to the country, they would be extremely vigilant and there would be no masters around them.

It would be a miracle if such an important account book could be found easily.

"Su Liang, as long as you help me with this matter, no matter what you want, we can talk about it." Mu Fei showed his sincerity.

"I can't do anything, Lord Mu, please go back." Su Liang's attitude was very firm.

Without her, Mu Fei would think of other ways.

This is completely different from her and Ning Jing taking the initiative to go to the county town to help catch the thief.

Even in the matter of catching the thief, Su Liang was criticized by Ning Jing for being lucky and not cautious enough, not to mention that this time it was a major matter with many dangers.

When she was with Ning Jing, Su Liang's perception of herself was that her martial arts skills were mediocre. She is working hard to improve, and there is a long way to go.

"If you change your mind, I'm always here to serve you. "Mu Fei left after leaving a word.

It was already dark when they left Sujia Village.

"Master, do I have to deliver another five thousand taels of silver tomorrow?" Chang'an asked.

Mu Fei snorted coldly, "What five thousand taels?"

Chang'an said weakly, "Master, I haven't paid for tonight's meal yet."

"Wait until she comes to me. If she doesn't, I won't give it to her." Mu Fei was in a high position. When had he ever been treated so coldly? His easygoing and good temper were all for a purpose. Now that his plan had failed, he was very unhappy.

...

Ning Jing cleaned up the kitchen and came out, and saw Su Liang opening the window, sorting out the books sent by Qi Yan, with a smile on his face, looking very fond of them.

"Are they all medical books?" Ning Jing asked standing outside the window.

Su Liang nodded, "That's what I need most now. "

Ning Jing came in to help her sort it out. He flipped through two books and said they were ancient books from the previous dynasty, all of which were unique copies.

These books are like antiques, treasured in the homes of nobles as heirlooms. Ordinary people cannot see them, and it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.

If Su Liang had not saved Old Lady Xing's precious grandson, she would not have been so generous.

And this unique medical book is also a way to make friends with Su Liang. After seeing her medical skills, there may be places where she can be used in the future.

"I need a bookshelf. "Su Liang said.

Ning Jing agreed to the job and ordered the dishes he wanted to eat tomorrow.

After taking out all the books, there was an antique carved wooden box at the bottom of the box.

Su Liang opened it and found a set of gold needles for acupuncture, which was packed in a cloth bag with exquisite and complicated embroidery. It was obviously a valuable antique.

Although I know that Old Lady Xing's gift was not just a token of gratitude, it was much more comfortable than Mu Fei's arrogant attitude of asking how much money it would cost to have Su Liang as a cook.

Even if Mu Fei pretended to be easy to talk to, the arrogance of a superior in his bones was always there.

For this kind of person, you can cooperate in transactions, but forget about being friends.

Never talk about feelings with people in the royal family—— This is Su Liang's understanding.

The next day, Su Liang continued to practice how to deal with a whip master.

Unlike learning swordsmanship, Ning Jing did not teach her a set routine, but let her explore on her own in battle, only occasionally giving tips.

And every time when Su Liang felt that she could handle it, Ning Jing would create new difficulties for her.

Such martial arts training requires great concentration and is also a big challenge to physical strength.

But gaining experience and improvement in battle has a high threshold and high efficiency.

Near noon, Su Liang was about to go to cook when she heard a knock on the door.

When the door was opened, a kind-looking white-haired old man stood outside, and there was a carriage not far away.

"Excuse me, is this the home of Doctor Su Liang?" the old man asked.

Su Liang nodded, "I am."

"My master wants to ask Doctor Su to come to the house to treat the son's leg disease." The old man was very polite.

Su Liang suddenly remembered the father and son of the Wu family that Mu Fei mentioned last night. She didn't ask, but just said that he didn't see the doctor.

"The son is sick and can't come here. Doctor Su, please make an exception and negotiate the consultation fee." The old man smiled apologetically.

"Sorry. I am a weak woman and I won't go to a stranger's house. You should ask someone else." Su Liang was about to close the door after she finished speaking.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My master is General Wu Yun. Doctor Su may have heard of him. There is absolutely no need to worry about safety."

"My medical skills are not good. I can only treat headaches and fevers for the villagers in the village. I can't treat General Wu's son." Su Liang closed the door after she finished speaking.

The old man had no choice but to say a few more words and saw that no one paid attention, so he had to leave.

"Do you think that the Wu family heard that there was a doctor like me in Sujia Village, so they sent someone to invite me, or do they have other intentions? Mu Fei just mentioned it last night, and someone from the Wu family came to visit today. Is it just a coincidence?" Su Liang seemed to be thinking about something.

Ning Jing just said, "Don't get involved."

...

Just as the meal was ready, Qi Yan came. He had been rushing here day and night, and had not rested much, so he got up late today.

"Is your master okay?" Su Liang asked.

Qi Yan sighed, "The prince sent someone to take the old lady back to the palace, and only the prince entered the capital by order of the emperor and lived in the Qin Mansion. That is the mother's home of the late princess. Old Master Qin loves the master's grandson very much, and the young masters and young ladies of the Qin family are also good, but after all, they are living under someone else's roof, and I don't know what the emperor is planning."

"Didn't you say that you would choose a son-in-law for the sixth princess?" Su Liang asked.

Qi Yan shook his head, "The Sixth Princess is very favored, and it is unlikely that she will marry my master. I heard that she likes General Nian, who is a popular man in front of the emperor, and is the second son of the Nian Mansion, named Nian Jincheng."

Su Liang had actually seen this person.

On the night when she traveled through time, Nian Jincheng came here to track down the rebels, said some inexplicable words, and gave her a jade hairpin.

Thinking back to Nian Jincheng's appearance, Su Liang felt that it was normal for him to win the favor of the princess.

"Is he in good health?" Su Liang asked.

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, "Nian Jincheng is a military general, of course he is in good health!"

Su Liang shook his head and laughed, "I mean Prince Xing."

"Oh! My master has been taking medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Miss Su, and her health has improved a lot, but she didn't let outsiders know." Qi Yan said.

"That's good." Su Liang nodded.

After dinner, Qi Yan told Su Liang about her past that he had investigated in the capital. This was the purpose of Qi Yan's special trip, because Su Liang said she had lost her memory.

"Your grandfather Su Yuanzhou had three sons, and you are the only daughter of the third son. Your father's name is Su Hongzhao. He was originally a scholar and had passed the imperial examination, but for some reason he did not become an official. He partnered with others to do the medicinal materials business and traveled around."

"It is said that your mother is an orphan your father met outside. Her origin and name are unknown. The two got married and gave birth to you. On the way to Beijing with his wife and daughter, your father was unfortunately robbed by bandits and both husband and wife died. You were hidden under your mother's body and survived. You were rescued by the government, and your grandfather personally took you back to Beijing to raise you. "

"You have been weak and sick since childhood, and rarely go out. Many people don't know that there is such a young lady in the Su family. After the Su family got into trouble, how did you leave the capital and come to Bei'an County? It's really hard to find out."

Su Liang thought of the handkerchief embroidered with the word "Yun" and asked Qi Yan, "Among the people related to the Su family, is there a man with the surname Yun or a name with the word Yun?"

Qi Yan frowned and thought, "Miss Su asked this, I really can't think of such a person for a while."

Su Liang smiled, "It doesn't matter."

This is all that can be found about the original owner now.

She is called a young lady, but in fact she is just a commoner in the capital, and she doesn't go out. Outsiders know almost nothing about her, and the family members who know the original owner are no longer alive.

"The master said that when the Su family got into trouble, they must have been framed. If Miss Su needs it, the master can help investigate clues and collect evidence in the capital to help Miss Su clear the grievances for her family." Qi Yan said.

Su Liang shook her head, "Thank Xing Shizi for my kindness, but I won't bother him with this matter."

She knew that Xing Yusheng was sincere in helping, but he was in a bad situation, and Su Liang didn't want to cause trouble for him.

She intended to cooperate with the fourth prince Duanmu Chen on this matter. She would find out and avenge the original owner's family.

"I haven't congratulated Mr. Ning on winning the first place yet. There will be no problem with the next provincial examination. After the New Year, Mr. Ning will go to Beijing to take the exam. Miss Su will go too?" Qi Yan asked.

Su Liang nodded, "I will go."

"That's great. My master is very bored in Beijing. If you two go, he will be very happy." Qi Yan said, and asked how Su Liang and Ning Jing became brother and sister.

Su Liang told the truth that it was just a fake marriage at the beginning, a stopgap measure.

Qi Yan looked very happy, "I will tell my master after I return to Beijing!" His eyes lit up, "Why don't you come back with me, Miss Su? Anyway, Mr. Ning's exam has nothing to do with Miss Su! When you get to Beijing, my master will take care of you, and no one will bully you!"

Ning Jing put down the teacup in his hand, his expression was indifferent, "You should go."

Su Liang chuckled, "I won't go to Beijing for the time being. Have a cup of tea first, I'll write a letter to your master, you can help take it back."

Qi Yan looked disappointed when he heard the first half of the sentence, and nodded quickly when he heard the second half, "Okay! Don't worry, Miss Su, write slowly!" He glanced at Ning Jing provocatively.

Su Liang went back to her room to write a letter. Her handwriting was very similar to Ning Jing's, because she had recently been practicing the second font according to the Buddhist scripture that Ning Jing had been copying.

In the letter, she thanked Old Lady Xing for the gift and the news that Xing Yusheng asked Qi Yan to send, saying that she and Ning Jing might go to the capital after the New Year, and Xing Yusheng should not worry about the affairs of the Su family, as she would investigate it herself at that time.

Su Liang handed the letter to Qi Yan and packed some steamed buns and snacks for him as dry food.

"Miss Su really won't go back to the capital with me?" Qi Yan asked again.

"You should leave quickly and take care on the way." Su Liang waved her hand.

After watching Qi Yan leave, Su Liang closed the door and went back to her room, intending to flip through the medical books and determine the order of reading.

Then she heard Ning Jing ask her in the next room, "What did you write in the letter to Xing Yusheng?"

"Nothing." Su Liang said casually.

"Don't let him misunderstand that you can pursue him." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang was speechless, "Am I not?"

"Do you want Xing Yusheng to pursue you?" Ning Jing asked again.

Su Liang shook his head, "No. I wrote to him because I was afraid that Qi Yan would say something when he returned and cause him to misunderstand something."

"Very good." Ning Jing said.
