Chapter 167 Unintentionally obstructing love

Not long after Shangguan Moxun left, several patients came to the clinic. The old man was seeing a doctor. A twelve or thirteen-year-old man was picking up medicine. The old woman helped the patient boil medicine under the corridor in the backyard.

Song Ruoxi drank half a bowl of porridge, and after getting a little energetic, he stopped sleeping and sat half leaning on the bed. Lu Fengyan sat on the wooden chair beside the window, looking at the view outside the window, expressionless, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Young Master Lu." Song Ruoxi broke the silence, and several names turned around on the tip of his tongue, choosing the most polite and distant callout.

Lu Fengyan looked back at her, "Is she thirsty?"

Song Ruoxi shook his head gently and said, "Mr. Lu, I have not discussed it with you, so I unilaterally proposed to terminate the agreement. I am sorry."

"You don't have to feel sorry, it's me that I lost the agreement first." Lu Fengyan did not have much deep affection for Song Ruoxi. She just followed her mother's wishes and decided to marry her as a wife. She proposed to terminate the agreement, but he could accept it, and he didn't care. He didn't have any special feelings about getting married. He just wanted to find a woman, have children, and live a lifetime. Like Shangguan Moxun, it seems a bit alternative to having a marriage. Besides, why don't a real man have no wife?

Song Ruoxi heard the conversation between him and Shangguan Moxun last night and knew that he did not take her to heart. The gifts he gave should have followed An Yu's instructions. Later, he was busy, so he forgot. Only if he had no intention, he would be free from resentment, and if he had no intention, he would have no hatred. After resoluteness, he might also be a relief for him. However, this matter was brought up by her first, and it was also necessary to express an apology in person. There is no need to say anything else.

The two are not familiar with each other and have a big gap in life. They used to be interested in talking, but now, after the agreement has been resolved, they are still a little embarrassed between them and they are not in the mood to find topics to chat. Lu Fengyan's eyes turned out the window, and Song Ruoxi looked down at the white-washed blue quilt, and the room fell into silence again.

The old woman walked in with her medicine in her hand, "Can you do the old woman a favor?"

"Please speak." Lu Yan stood up politely and said.

"It's time to cook lunch, there is not enough firewood. You guys, go and chop the pile of firewood in the backyard." The old woman said with a smile.

Lu Fengyan's expression was stunned for a moment, and she responded stiffly, "Okay."

"You are a good boy." The old woman said politely.

"It should be." Lu Fengyan took his long sword and went to the backyard to chop firewood.

The old woman brought the medicine to Song Ruoxi, "The little girl has taken the medicine."

Song Ruoxi took the bowl and drank it in one sip. He frowned so much that he handed the empty bowl back, "Thank you."

"Little girl, which one do you like these two young men?" Women both like gossip and like to be a matchmaker. The old woman was no exception. She sat by the bed and asked enthusiastically.

Song Ruoxi's eyes were slightly darker and he shook his head gently.

"Ah, you don't like any of them?" The old woman was stunned. "I see that young man in purple clothes is very nice to you. He also guarded you all night last night. Don't miss such a considerate and careful good man."

"I've been married." Song Ruoxi said lightly.

The old woman blurted out, "That's why you elope in the rain?"

Song Ruoxi was amused and crying, "Old lady, have you ever seen three people elope together?"

"Oh!" The old woman slapped her mouth gently and said with a smile: "The old woman said the wrong thing, little girl, don't be surprised."

Song Ruoxi shook his head, "He is the one who sent me to get married."

"Oh, he is your brother!"

Brother?

Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed, and his eyelids drooped and his mouth remained silent.

"You are not cured yet, lie down and rest." The old woman saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was incompetent, so she helped her lie down and covered her with a quilt.

Song Ruoxi and the old woman left, staring at the log house beam, staring blankly. The conversation between Shangguan Moxun and Lu Fengyan last night passed in her mind again. Without thinking about it, she also knew that Shangguan Moxun liked her, but... her eyes darkened and she sighed. Everything was a foregone conclusion. She was about to become a wife of the Ye family and should not be entangled in the past. That would be unfair to Ye Shuhua.

In the afternoon, Song Ruoxi drank porridge and took a nap for half an hour. He was unwilling to continue lying on the bed. He went to sit in the backyard corridor and watched the old woman choose herbal medicine.

Lu Fengyan held the sword and stood not far away, looking at Song Ruoxi with deep eyes. A few rays of sunlight were slanted on her body and face, and a faint golden light was dyed. Her fair face looked like a warm jade, revealing a warm and delicate brilliance. Her hair, which was tied with a wooden hairpin, was loosely draped down. She lowered her head slightly, revealing a snow-like neck. Even if she was wearing a coarse linen, it could not cover up her whole body. Just in terms of appearance, she and Uncle Jiu were a perfect match. I wonder what the young lord of Dengying City looked like?

"Old lady, is this licorice?" Song Ruoxi reached out and picked up the medicinal materials placed in the dustpan and asked.

The old woman looked up and said, "It's licorice, the little girl knows medicine, it's not bad."

"I become a doctor after a long illness." Song Ruoxi smiled and took the licorice in his mouth and chewed it. When he was sick, his mouth was light and tasteless, and he had a faint sweet taste when he chewed.

"It's three parts poisonous, don't take it randomly." Lu Fengyan frowned.

"Young Master, don't worry, this licorice can calm the soul and replenish the five labors and seven injuries, deficiency, palpitations, depression, and forgetfulness. It opens the nine orifices, improves all meridians, nourishes essence and nourishes qi, strengthens muscles and bones, and relieves cold and cold. It is beneficial for a little girl to chew." The old woman smiled.

Lu Fengyan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Song Ruoxi finished chewing one, then took another one.

The old woman picked up another medicinal herb and asked, "Little girl, what is this?"

Song Ruoxi carefully identified it and smiled and said, "Motherwort."

The old woman nodded, and while choosing herbs, she also studied Song Ruoxi.

Song Ruoxi learned from Huijin and could tell you about it in almost every ten years.

"Looking at the young master holding a sword, he should be a martial arts student. Come and do the old woman a favor and put the medicinal herbs on the roof to dry it, so that the old woman would have to worry about moving the ladder." The old woman instructed Lu Fengyan to do things.

Lu Fengyan had already chopped firewood in the morning and helped again. He looked calm and put the sword behind him, flew up and down, and his movements were quick. All the medicinal materials placed in the yard were on the roof.

"Young people's hands and feet are quick." The old woman exclaimed.

Song Ruoxi's bright eyes flowed, his lips covered his smile.

This place is far from the mountain monument. Shangguan Moxun quickly whipped the horse and arrived at the next day when he brought Cannibal, Xiangxiu and Qinghe to the clinic with him.

"Miss, you have suffered!" Xiang Xiu said with tears.

"I'm fine, I'm worried." Song Ruoxi felt like a different world when he saw the familiar face in front of him.

In order to prevent the old man and the old woman from knowing Song Ruoxi's identity, rumors of damage to Song Ruoxi's reputation were spread. After paying a lot of money, they quickly left. Ten miles outside the town, they met with the team who sent their brides, entered the town again, and stayed in the inn.

At dawn, the bride-sending team set off, and Lu Yan came to Shangguan Mo to say goodbye, "Uncle Jiu has always been free and easy, and my nephew doesn't say anything clearly. I think Uncle Jiu understands it too. I hope Uncle Jiu takes care of him."

Shangguan Moxun's eyes flashed with a faint light and said, "Yunyan, if you are unintentional, don't disturb a pond of spring water."

Lu Fengyan was puzzled, "Uncle Jiu, what does this mean?"

"You will understand in the future." Shangguan Moxun said calmly.

Seeing that he refused to say it clearly, Lu Fengyan rode his horse away without asking questions.

Since then, she kept rushing to the inn to rest at dusk. After a few autumn rains, the weather became colder. Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and the people who abducted Song Ruoxi did not appear again. Even so, Song Ruoxi was not alone anymore. Even bathing, Cannibal and others had to serve her, which made her feel inconvenient, but she only comforted her, just pretending to be taking a bath in the public bathroom. Shangguan Moxun seemed to be deliberately avoiding her, and the two had almost never met each other.

On this day, at dusk, I encountered a sudden heavy rain. When the rain dropped slightly, the sky was already dark and I had no time to enter the city. I had to raise a bonfire in the wilderness and rest on the spot. It was not a marching, and I did not bring tents and other items. The followers had to be bedded by the sky.

After dinner, Song Ruoxi, who had been on a carriage for a day, came down to get some breath.

"Miss, don't go far." Silkworm reminded her.

"Silkworm, don't let all the plants and trees be soldiers, it's very safe here." Song Ruoxi sighed.

"It's enough to be scared once." The silkworm didn't want any more accidents.

Song Ruoxi smiled helplessly, scattered around for a while, found a place to sit down, looked up at the sky, there was no bright moon or stars in the night sky, and the boundless blackness seemed to contain infinite sorrow, feeling bored, and looked around, and then he realized that the position she was sitting was facing the window of the carriage where Shangguan Moxun was sitting.

The curtains were rolled up, and the oil lamp was lit in the carriage. Song Ruoxi could clearly see Shangguan Moxun. He was reading the book and was full of concentration. The bun, which was tied with a white jade hairpin, was about to scatter, and the candlelight reflected on him. There was a hint of tiredness between his eyebrows and eyebrows. He was concentrating, not knowing that she was peeping at him. He hesitated for a moment and got up and walked over.

"Princess." A shout came from behind Leng Bufang.

Song Ruoxi looked back and saw that it was Tuo Yan, his eyebrows slightly moved, and he bowed and said, "Criminal."

"The princess can come back safely, and Mr. Luo Qi has made a lot of contributions. Have you thought about how to repay him?" Tuo Yan curled his lips and smiled.

Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed, he raised his chin slightly, and said, "It is your duty to escort this palace to arrive at Dengying City safely. He saved this palace to atone for his sins."

"Does the princess know who sent someone to abduct the princess?"

"Did the prince ask me to investigate the thief personally? What did the emperor send the prince to do? If the prince is so useless, I can send someone to send a letter to my grandfather, asking him to report to the Ming emperor and let the prince return to Beijing, so as not to damage the national prestige of Fujian." Song Ruoxi snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.

Tuo Yan looked at her back, her eyes turned cold.

A "puff" sounded softly.

Tuo Yan's legs numb and he knelt down.

"I don't mind sending a body back to Chengjin Hou Mansion."

Hearing the sound, Tuo Yan looked up and said, Shangguan Moxun was standing not far away, his eyes as cold as an arrow, with a cold murderous aura.

"You dare." Tuo Yan's face was fierce and weak.

"There's nothing I dare not." Shangguan Moxun turned around and left.
