Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"That is……"

Noticing Li Xiangnan's expression, Song Zimo also looked intently down the mountain, and even jumped onto a large rock nearby and looked around.

"It's not Shangguan Wanqing!" Li Xiangnan saw clearly that the person coming down the mountain was just an old woman wearing coarse linen clothes, who looked like a pilgrim delivering vegetables to the temple.

Song Zimo returned to the stone table, his voice somewhat annoyed: "Brother Nan, she probably won't come!"

Li Xiangnan exhaled, handed him a cigarette, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"It's not that she doesn't want to come, but she can't come!"

"What do you mean... Brother Nan, you mean... it is very likely that Shangguan Wuji knew that his daughter was going to meet you and stopped her?" Song Zimo frowned.

"That's a possibility!" Li Xiangnan began to analyze while exhaling smoke. "Shangguan Wuji came to my father-in-law's house before. Judging from that in-depth contact, this old man is very cunning. Perhaps he noticed his daughter's contact with me, so he is trying to hinder me and doesn't want me to know too much! Or maybe, there is another possibility, something happened that we don't know about that could have restrained her and prevented her from coming over!"

Thinking of what Defa said about Shangguan Wanqing's possible feelings for him, Li Xiangnan believed that if it was not absolutely necessary, Shangguan Wanqing would definitely keep the appointment.

"Then what should we do? Keep waiting? It's almost dark!"

Li Xiangnan stood up, dusted off his butt, and said decisively, "Since she won't come, then we'll take the initiative to go to her house! The last time Shangguan Wuji was at Ruobai's house, he gave me a good reason to go. It seems that he had already figured out that I would go to him!"

Song Zimo was shocked: "This guy is really cunning and scheming!"

The two of them didn't wait for anyone, so they had to go down the mountain first and ride their bikes back to the city to go home.

When she told Ruobai about this in the evening, she suggested, "Why do I feel like Shangguan Wuji has a plan for everything? It's very likely that he already knew that Shangguan Wanqing had asked you to meet at Hongluo Temple, so he used something to hold his daughter back! And then let you go to him on your own. At this time, you must be very curious about the affairs of the Mu family..."

At this point, Qin Ruobai said with some concern: "Isn't it too soon to contact Shangguan Wuji?"

Li Xiangnan shook his head. "Ruobai, since Director Zhang said that my aunt came to Yanjing, I have a feeling it's related to the Mu family's explosion. So now, if I have the opportunity to investigate it myself, I won't miss it!"

"Then you must be careful and bring Zimo with you. He is quite skilled!" Qin Ruobai was a little worried.

"Don't worry, he can help me, I'm not bad either!"

After wiping his wife's feet clean and putting shoes on her, Li Xiangnan got up, closed the door, took off his clothes and went to bed.

"You've been so tired these past few days. I'll talk to Dad later and get you some Chinese medicine to nourish you..."

Qin Ruobai also began to undress. After waiting for a long time without hearing any movement from her husband, she turned around and saw that he was already snoring softly and had fallen asleep.

"Oh!" She sighed, gently pulled up the thin quilt to cover him, leaned on her side with her head supported, pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at her husband's face, which she could never get tired of looking at.

The next morning, Song Zimo came home. Li Xiangnan asked him to have breakfast, and then drove to Wangfujing with a handwritten copy of an ancient medical book to buy two inexpensive but elegant gifts, and then came to Xishan Farm.

This was Li Xiangnan's third time here. The housekeeper knew them all. After informing them, he led the two of them through the grassland and courtyard, around the screen wall and corridor, and into the old house of the Shangguan family.

The meeting place was in the study. Shangguan Wuji stood up, asked the two to sit down, and then poured tea himself.

Today he was wearing a Tang suit gown, with an elegant face and gentle eyes, looking like a gentleman.

If they didn't know his background, it would be difficult for Li Xiangnan and the others to associate the person in front of them with such a cunning and scheming person.

"My dear nephew Xiangnan, my dear friend Xiaosong, your presence has brought honor to my humble abode!"

Shangguan Wuji smiled warmly and enthusiastically, handing over the hot tea. "When I met you earlier, I invited you to my humble abode. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon! I'm honored!"

"Uncle, you're too polite! The hospital has been very busy these days, so I've been taking advantage of every moment I have to come and ask for your advice. I just happened to come across a rare handwritten copy of Huiji Fang, so I came here specifically to ask for your advice!"

"No, no, it's not about asking for advice, let's learn together!"

In the study, the scent of sandalwood wafts in the air and the aroma of tea is refreshing.

Li Xiangnan and Shangguan Wuji started their conversation by talking about medicine in the Ming Dynasty, including the Compendium of Materia Medica and the Treatise on Febrile Diseases. As the conversation deepened, he became more and more confused.

When Shangguan Wuji talked about medicine, he quoted from classics and had unique insights, just like a learned Confucian doctor.

But strangely, there is no rumor that the Shangguan family was engaged in medicine in Qihuang's various records of experience and practice and news from the medical community.

If Li Xiangnan had not had a profound family background and lived two lives, how could he have withstood Shangguan Wuji's various considerations and inquiries?

Just when Li Xiangnan was wondering, the topic of conversation inadvertently changed.

"Not bad, my dear nephew. You have superb medical skills and are well-versed in various medical classics and academic texts. Your family's medical background is indeed profound!" Shangguan Wuji said casually, holding his teacup, "Your grandfather was a master of medicine. It's a pity that I never had the chance to meet him... By the way, how is your grandmother? I remember hearing someone say that she is in Luzhou, Southern Anhui."

Luzhou?

As soon as he heard this word, Li Xiangnan became subconsciously alert!

Damn, he is so shrewd!

This Shangguan Wuji is really good at hiding things. He actually went through such a big detour just to find out about my grandma!

He visited his father-in-law's house, invited me to be his guest, talked about medicine, and talked about his grandfather. Finally, the topic turned to his grandmother!

If this wasn't an attempt to get the Mu family's account books, Li Xiangnan wouldn't believe it at all!

But... what Li Xiangnan noticed more was that Shangguan Wuji was talking about Luzhou at this moment!

What? He doesn’t think that his grandmother has always lived in Luzhou, does he?

Do not!

This is most likely a trap. He is trying to trick himself into correcting his mistake and explaining where his grandmother has gone!

Hey, I wouldn't do that!

Li Xiangnan sneered in his heart, not moved at all, and continued to talk along the topic, "Grandma is old and is indeed recuperating in her hometown. Thank you for your concern!"

He was just stating the facts, without even any emotion in his voice, and after he finished speaking, he even observed Shangguan Wuji's reaction.

really!

After saying this, Shangguan Wuji's eyes flashed with an imperceptible strangeness, and he smiled: "That's quite good. Alas, it's a pity that my dear nephew doesn't know this. I remember that our ancestors had a kind of acupuncture called 'Nine Yuan Strengthening Acupuncture', which was said to have the power to bring the dead back to life. Unfortunately, after the fire... Hey, my dear nephew, have you heard of this acupuncture from your grandmother?"

Li Xiangnan's heart was filled with alarm.

Shangguan Wuji's true intentions are fully revealed. He spent a few words trying to find out the whereabouts of his grandmother, and now he is using his family background to try to find out whether he has any connection with his grandmother. He is so cruel!

His expression revealed just the right amount of regret, and he sighed, "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen this kind of needlework before. Sigh, it's all my fault for being playful when I was young..."

Shangguan Wuji narrowed his eyes and his stern look flashed across his face, as if he was not satisfied with Li Xiangnan's tone.

He picked up the teacup, blew away the foam gently, and his tone suddenly became meaningful.

"My dear nephew, that's such a pity! But what a coincidence! It was yesterday or the day before yesterday that a relative of mine saw an old woman in the south city medicine market. Her figure and demeanor were very similar to your grandmother Mu Huanying! Could it be that your grandmother has come to Yanjing?"

boom!

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiangnan's whole body shook violently, his heart beat wildly, and cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back!
