"Mom, are you okay?" After so many things happened, Li Jing didn't know what was going on. He felt a little stupid.

Mother Li smiled with ease, "What could be the problem?"

Finally, I have accomplished something, I should be happy.

"Now that Mom's business is over, tell me about your side of the business. What are your plans?"

"Be brave enough to pursue your wife?" Mother Li thought about it and decided that it would be better to ask again. After all, it was not a trivial matter. If one was not mentally firm, it would be better not to go.

It not only delays yourself, but also harms the girl.

Li Jing blushed to his ears, "Mom, why are you talking like that now..."

"What's that? Why are you blushing?" Li's mother said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Straight...white"

"A real man should do what he says. I will ask for leave from the government office today and then set off."

"Your herbal medicine shop? It's only been open for a short time. Is it okay for you to leave with me like this?"

"Who said that mother went with you? Mother has a lot of things to do! Go and have fun by yourself, don't take me with you." Mother Li looked like she was not going to get close to me.

Ask me to be a light bulb, but I won’t do it!

……

Li Jing simply carried a bag and rode a horse on his way.

But before they had gone fifty miles, they saw a carriage in front of them coming towards them. The carriage looked very familiar. Who else could it be but Gu Niannian's?

Li Jing drove his horse towards the carriage, with the corners of his mouth curved into a smile that he couldn't suppress.

Gu Niannian heard the sound of horse hooves and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. It was the person she had been thinking about. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment.

"Master...Gu" the two words kept coming to Li Jing's lips, but he couldn't pronounce them out. Finally, he called out "Master".

The two of them went from looking at each other from afar to being close at hand.

"Why are you here?" the two people facing each other spoke at the same time.

"Looking for you" is the same thing again.

The tacit understanding between them is really not ordinary tacit understanding.

Gu Niannian chuckled, "Let's go! Go back to Qingshan County. I still want to see if I've recovered the money I invested."

"I think I made the money back. I saw my mother got a big bag of silver," Li Jing said honestly.

"You are such a good person, Ye Ranqing, you cheated me out of my money and didn't even share the profit with me." Gu Niannian said in a feigned anger.

"Maybe she was writing to tell you that it's not safe to transfer money back and forth." Li Jing tried to make amends, fearing that his mother would then say that he had married a wife and forgotten her, and that he was a traitor!

"I was joking, you idiot!"

Someone who used to be aloof has now become silly. What went wrong? He doesn't know, but it doesn't matter. He will become whatever she likes.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Li's house and saw that the red door was locked. It was obvious that they were in the herbal medicine shop.

Gu Niannian jumped down from the carriage. She was wearing a light green skirt and looked like a newly opened flower bud, making people salivate.

Li Jing was stunned. This was the first time he saw her wearing women's clothes. She was so beautiful that he didn't want others to see her.

Gu Niannian waved her hands in front of his eyes, "What's wrong? It doesn't look good."

Gu Niannian lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around in front of him, and the unique fragrance of a woman wafted into his face.

How can I describe this situation? He must be bleeding from his nose.

Li Jing reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Don't turn"

Gu Niannian saw the blush on his ears and smiled secretly

Li Jingxian opened the door and led the carriage and horses into the stable, tied them up, and prepared fodder and water.

The two of them went towards the medicinal food shop again. When Gu Niannian walked on the street, she attracted people's attention again. Before, she was a woman, but now she is a man. "When did Qingshan County have such a beauty? Why haven't I seen it before?"

“It must have come from outside.”

“I think she looks like a person…”

"Who?" The two men who were discussing looked at him.

"County Magistrate, our County Magistrate Gu!" The man slapped his head.

"Really? Alas! It's a pity that you've walked too far, otherwise I would have taken another look and known." One of the men sighed.

Li Jing took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to Gu Niannian.

Gu Niannian was confused, "What? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Veiled Face"

It’s not that Gu Niannian is not allowed to show up in public, but such discussions are likely to cause an uproar.

Gu Niannian took the silk handkerchief and tied it around her face.

"It won't be visible now!" Gu Niannian suddenly jumped in front of Li Jing.

There was a "bang" sound of two heads colliding.

Gu Niannian covered her head and said coquettishly, "It hurts."

Li Jing anxiously went to see where she was hit, "How is it? Is it hurt? Let me take a look!"

Seeing his distressed look, Gu Niannian's heart suddenly warmed up. She couldn't bear to lie to him anymore and smiled, "It doesn't hurt."

"It's all my fault," Li Jing regretted secretly.

"It's okay, but how come you are so smart now? You even know to cover your face with a handkerchief. Besides, men's handkerchiefs are bigger and darker than women's, so they are just right as a 'mask'." Gu Niannian jumped up and down, and the handkerchief on her face rose and fell, over and over again.

"A few days ago, my mother and I met Prince Qi again!"

"Ah! You meet again, so... do you know everything?" Gu Niannian stopped jumping and kept pace with Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded sadly

After all, this is someone's sore spot, so Gu Niannian didn't want to bring up the topic again. After a moment of silence, Li Jing spoke, "Actually, to me, it doesn't matter who my father is. He didn't give birth to me or raise me, so he is at most an ordinary person I know, and we probably won't meet again in the future."

Gu Niannian understood that he said this because he didn't want to make her worry. Li Jing looked like a taciturn person, but in fact he was more thoughtful than anyone else. In order to take care of other people's feelings, he would rather suffer a little grievance himself, just like this time. He took the initiative to bring it up because he didn't want to make Gu Niannian worry.

This kind of personality has both good and bad sides. The good side is towards others, the bad side is towards himself. It also makes those who love him feel even more sorry for him.

Just like Gu Niannian now, "Silly boy, don't consider other people's feelings in everything, think more about yourself"

"You are not someone else" Li Jing blurted out

Gu Niannian coughed twice to cover it up. Fortunately, she was wearing a silk scarf, so her monkey-like face could not be seen.

"Why haven't we arrived yet after walking for so long? Where is it? It seems I have to walk faster." Gu Niannian lowered her head and walked forward.

Li Jing scratched his head and thought, "Didn't you choose the location yourself? How come you don't recognize it?"

But he still followed Gu Niannian's pace and walked silently on the side of the road.

"Make way, the horses are frightened! Make way!" A loud shout was heard, and then the frightened horses and carriages brushed past Li Jing's shoulders.

Li Jingxian pushed Gu Niannian aside and turned to chase the startled horse. With a leap, he jumped onto the frightened steed. He tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped on the spot.

Li Jing turned to look at the carriage, "Is everyone inside okay?"
