If I Like Him (Second Update)

The doors and windows were open, and it was raining and windy outside, and the cold was getting stronger. Read

Su Liang treated Nian Jincheng's wound, and just as he stood up, he sneezed.

"Thank you, Miss Su." Nian Jincheng lowered his head and did not look at Su Liang.

He was thinking, Su Liang ignored Mu Fei and insisted on treating him first, just out of duty as a doctor, or because of his relationship with Ning Jing?

Chang'an's voice interrupted Nian Jincheng's thoughts, "Miss Su, please take a look at my master again!"

"No need." Mu Fei shook his head, he had calmed down, "It's just a minor injury, why are you so nervous? But Jincheng's arm, he blocked the arrow for me, can it recover as before?"

Su Liang looked indifferent, "Don't use force for the next month. I'll prescribe a prescription for General Nian and take a few doses of medicine."

After Su Liang finished speaking, he wanted to treat Nian Jincheng's subordinate Nian Li, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that it was no big deal.

Chang'an led his men to pull Nian Jincheng's carriage and the body of the assassin outside back to Wu's house in the rain, and took the four treasures of the study from the carriage to give to Su Liang.

Su Liang picked up a pen and wrote a prescription and handed it to Nian Jincheng.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Liang's handwriting. He had seen this handwriting before.

"It's raining so hard, Miss Su can't go home for a while, why don't you sit down and talk." Mu Fei said, and his subordinates brought chairs from somewhere else.

Similar to the previous back garden, the three sat at the same table again.

Mu Fei took the initiative to tell Nian Jincheng about the whole story of the scandal of Wu Yun and his son. Many details were unknown to Nian Jincheng, who was in the capital before.

"If it weren't for Su Liang's agility and courage, Wu Yun and Wu Huaian would not know how many innocent women they would secretly kill." Mu Fei sighed.

Nian Jincheng was a little confused. Since Su Liang lived with Ning Jing, how could she be captured so easily by Wu Yun?

Mu Fei then asked Su Liang, "Ning Jing didn't notice anything the night you were kidnapped by Wu Yun?"

Su Liang realized that Mu Fei seemed to be sharing the case with Nian Jincheng, but in fact he wanted to test Ning Jing's background from her.

Su Liang shook his head, "I asked him after I went back, and he said that he couldn't sleep at night, so he went to the back mountain to watch the moon, and didn't find me missing when he came back. The next day, no one answered when he called me, and then he realized something was wrong. But there were no clues at the time, so he stayed at home and waited."

"So that's how it is." Mu Fei smiled as usual, obviously not believing Su Liang's words.

But, it doesn't matter. Su Liang was just perfunctory to him, some things can't be said.

When Nian Jincheng heard Mu Fei say that there was a mysterious master who secretly helped to expose the evidence of the evil deeds of Wu Yun and Wu Huaian, he guessed who that person was.

As a result, Nian Jincheng heard the hidden temptation in the conversation between Mu Fei and Su Liang. Su Liang responded calmly, without revealing a single word.

Changan took out the chess pieces, and Mu Fei and Nian Jincheng started playing chess to kill time.

Su Liang opened the cloth bag, took out the poison book from it, and read it attentively.

Every time Mu Fei made a move, he would glance at Su Liang.

Nian Jincheng was focused on playing chess, not looking away.

At the end of the game, Mu Fei lost.

"It's fun to make a bet in three games." Mu Fei looked at Su Liang again, "Miss Su, do you have any good suggestions?"

Su Liang raised her head and asked, "What did Lord Mu say just now?"

Mu Fei smiled, "I'm playing chess with Jincheng, and I want to make a bet. The loser has to pay. Why don't you make it?"

Nian Jincheng thought, she would definitely refuse.

Unexpectedly, Su Liang nodded readily, "Okay. Whoever loses, give me three thousand taels of silver."

Changan was stunned: Miss Su was really a master at killing people, and she would not miss any opportunity to plunder her master!

Nian Jincheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head to pack up the chess pieces, thinking that she was really a weird person, and her actions were completely unconventional.

Mu Fei's face was a little dark, "A young girl, thinking about money all day long, don't you have other pursuits?"

Su Liang chuckled, "Lord Mu asked me to settle, and I said it, but you are not happy, so why ask me? I love money, and my dream is to sleep with silver bills one day, superficial but rich."

Mu Fei's eyes flashed slightly, "If I give you enough money, will you be willing to leave Ning Jing?"

Nian Jincheng's hand paused slightly.

Su Liang's face was still calm, "This, Lord Mu may not be able to give."

"Yes, you said you like him a long time ago, I know, you robbed my money to support Ning Jing, he is really promising." Mu Fei couldn't help but start to be sarcastic again.

In fact, Su Liang's words about robbing money to support Ning Jing were originally said by Chang'an, and now Mu Fei mentioned it with a teasing meaning.

But when Nian Jincheng heard it, he couldn't believe it. He felt that since he met Su Liang again this time, everything became strange and incomprehensible...

Su Liang continued to read the book and didn't care about the chess game between the two men.

When he heard Chang'an say that the rain had stopped, Su Liang closed the book and put it back into the cloth bag.

Mu Fei's lips curled slightly, "Miss Su, Jincheng owes you three thousand taels, don't forget it."

"It's our first meeting, it's not good to let General Nian spend money, forget it." Su Liang said.

Mu Fei snorted, "If I lose, will you forget it?"

"I believe that even if I don't want it, Lord Mu will definitely give it to me." Su Liang smiled.

Mu Fei:...

Su Liang is leaving, and Mu Fei is also going back to the county, so let Nian Jincheng go with him. They will discuss the mine and decide how to arrange it.

After leaving the house, Mu Fei invited Su Liang to ride in the car with him for the third time today. Su Liang declined for the third time, "I'm not injured, I'll just ride a horse."

Mu Fei looked at the injured Nian Jincheng, "Jincheng, get in the car." He lowered the curtain after he finished speaking, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Nian Jincheng said to Su Liang, "The three thousand taels of silver notes will be sent to Miss Su some day. I would like to thank Miss Su for treating Nian today."

"Okay." After Su Liang finished speaking, he rode forward.

Nian Jincheng got into the car and sat with his back straight. Mu Luo asked him to relax and take a good rest.

The carriage started moving slowly, and Mu Luo suddenly asked Nian Jincheng in a low voice, "What do you think of Su Liang?"

Nian Jincheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Su, you are very powerful."

"It's special, isn't it?" Mu Luo said with a smile, "It's a pity that she doesn't appreciate it no matter how much I show my kindness, otherwise I would have accepted her."

Nian Jincheng was silent, and then Mu Luo said with a smile, "She said she likes Ningjing, but Luohua is ruthless, and Ningjing only treats her as a sister. I always feel that she is talking nonsense. Why don't you give it a try, Jincheng?"

Nian Jincheng frowned, "I don't understand what your highness means."

"I mean, if you are interested in her, you might as well try to pursue her." Mu Luo said with interest, "There are many girls in the capital who like you. Even the Sixth Princess is attracted to you. Maybe Su Liang will also like you. You are like this. She took the risk of offending me and wanted to heal you first. I think she has a good impression of you."

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I am here on errands under the emperor's orders, and I will not be distracted by other things."

"Don't be so rigid. Do you dare to say that you are not interested in Su Liang at all?" Mu Luo stared into Nian Jincheng's eyes.

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I never thought about that."

Mu Luo seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "No wonder, the Crown Prince said that you are very boring. But there is nothing wrong with it. Only when you are focused on nothing can you achieve great things. You are here just in time. I have a plan to deal with Wu Yun and Wu Huaian. Need your help."

"Your Highness, just give your orders." Nian Jincheng looked respectful.

From the moment they met, Mu Luo called him by his first name, showing his familiarity and easy-going attitude, but Nian Jincheng always abided by his dignity and did not slack off at all.

Nian Jincheng knew that Mu Luo encouraged him to pursue Su Liang in order to test his character and the relationship between Ning Jing and Su Liang.

In just half a day, Mu Luo remained good-tempered, but many of the things he said had ulterior motives.

…

"Master, we've arrived at Feiyan Town." Chang'an's voice came from outside the carriage.

Mu Luo and Nian Jinchengdu, who had closed their eyes and fell asleep, opened their eyes.

"Chang'an, take Miss Su home." Mu Luo opened the curtain.

From Nian Jincheng's perspective, only a piece of Su Liang's skirt could be seen.

"Master Mu, General Nian, farewell." After Su Liang finished speaking, he rode in the direction of Sujia Village, with Chang'an following on horseback.

"Let's go." Mu Luo ordered, and the team continued to set off.

On the way back to the village, the sun came out again.

By the time Su Liang arrived home, the sun was setting and golden light was everywhere.

The door was locked from the outside, and Ning Jing was not at home.

"Mr. Ning is out?" Chang'an just asked when he heard a child's shout in the distance, "Sister Su Liang! Brother Ning is at my house!"

Chang'an remembered that when he left early in the morning, Su Liang asked Ningjing to bring a piece of meat to his neighbor Aunt Bai's house for lunch.

Su Liang rode to Bai's house, and Chang An said goodbye and left.

Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi both came up to them excitedly. Su Liang saw the two little guys looking up at the horses eagerly, so he asked them if they wanted to ride.

"Really?" Bai Xiaohu jumped happily.

Zhuzi was a little timid, "But I don't know how!"

"Don't be afraid, try it." Su Liang said as he dismounted, first put Zhu Zhu on the horse's back, let him hold the reins, and sat still. Then he sent Bai Xiaohu up, and he hugged Zhu Zhu.

"Is it high?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu nodded in unison, too high!

Su Liang led the horse and walked slowly on the flat open space outside Bai's house.

The two children gradually relaxed and their little faces became excited again.

Aunt Bai heard Bai Xiaohu calling Su Liang and the sound of horse hooves. She poked her head out of the kitchen and looked around for three or four times but didn't see her two grandsons and Su Liang coming in, so she came out to take a look.

Seeing Su Liang holding the horse and the two little guys happily sitting on it, Aunt Bai quickly stopped them and said, "Come down quickly! Girl Liang, don't rely on them for anything!"

"Grandma, I can ride a horse!"

"I can do it too!"

Seeing her two grandsons laughing so hard, Aunt Bai also laughed, "The dumplings are almost ready. I'll be back after playing for a while!"

The Bai family all thought the meat dumplings Mrs. Liu brought from Su Liang's house last time were delicious. Aunt Bai went to ask Su Liang how to make them, and she quickly learned how to make them.

When Mrs. Liu came out to call again, the two children got off their horses and ran home.

Su Liang tied the horse to the tree outside and followed him through the door. He saw Ningjing and Old Man Bai sitting under the eaves together. There were many evenly chopped bamboo strips beside him. He had a half-woven small bamboo basket in his hand.

Old man Bai is good at bamboo weaving. During his spare time, he would weave bamboo baskets for sale. Ningjing came to eat today, but it started raining before leaving in the afternoon. Old Man Bai was weaving bamboo baskets, and Ningjing started to learn from him. He took half a day to learn.

When Su Liang walked in, Ning Jing didn't raise his head to look at her, just busy with the work in hand.

She went to wash her hands and the dumplings were already in the pot.

Aunt Bai made two kinds of stuffing, one meat and one vegetarian. She made the vegetarian stuffing herself, with wild vegetables and eggs, which was the first time she made it.

This is not the first time Su Liang and Ning Jing have dinner at Bai's house. The living conditions of the Bai family have improved recently, and the family is lively and warm. The "lovelorn" Bai He went to work in the county town and hasn't come back in the past few days.

Ning Jing, who was always taciturn, praised the vegetarian dumplings made by Aunt Bai for being delicious. Aunt Bai was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and said that Ning Jing could tell her whenever he wanted to eat.

After dinner, Su Liang carried the cloth bag and Ning Jing led the horse and walked slowly home.

"I didn't go to Chengkuangshan today, not because it rained, but because I encountered an assassin on the way." Su Liang said.

"Yeah." Ning Jing responded.

"The general who came from the capital to replace Wu Yun has arrived. Xing Yusheng asked him to bring me three books, two medical books, and a book on poisons."

"Okay."

"In addition, there is a sachet. It was given to me by Xing Yusheng's cousin, who said she made it herself. It's a bit strange. Do you know Miss Qin?"

"No."

"That shouldn't be for you either. Maybe she heard something from Xing Yusheng and wanted to get to know me?"

"Yes."

"You should know the new general, Nian Jincheng."

"Yes."

In the night, Ning Jing's footsteps did not stagnate at all, his profile was cold and indifferent, and his voice was calm.

Su Liang sighed, "Nian Jincheng blocked an arrow for Duanmu Chen today and was poisoned. I was powerless. Duanmu Chen took him away and said he would find a famous doctor. I don't know how he is now. Do you want to go see him?"

Ning Jing looked at Su Liang, "You are lying. If someone is in trouble and you can't save them, you won't mention it at the last minute. Do you like Nian Jincheng?"

Su Liang blinked, "What do you think if I like him?"

Ning Jing stopped and stood in silence like a sculpture in the deep night.

After a moment, he said, "Not good. His family members are all mentally ill."
