Tang Mingxuan didn't explain, but suddenly started coughing violently with a pale face.
Mo Lingyue was startled. He quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you want some water?"
He handed him the warm water, but Tang Mingxuan shook his head: "Lord Mo, I know myself well. How can someone of my status be worthy of Miss Xiaoruan? I just hope she can live a good life. So, I won't have any improper thoughts about her, please rest assured!"
Mo Lingyue's expression was complicated as he spoke, "Why are you still saying all this? Drink some water to suppress your cough. If Xiaoruan hears, she'll probably blame me for not taking good care of you!"
Tang Mingxuan then took it and slowly drank it.
However, as soon as he drank it, he vomited it out mixed with blood.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted instantly.
Mo Lingyue's face turned pale with fright. He ran out in a hurry and almost knocked Lin Xiaoruan to the ground.
She ignored him and continued giving Tang Mingxuan acupuncture.
After about a cup of tea, he slowly woke up.
He spoke weakly, "Xiaoruan, don't blame City Lord Mo. He took good care of me. It's my poor health. This is all my fault!"
Lin Xiaoruan turned to look at the bowl of medicine on the table, frowned and asked, "City Master Mo, you didn't give him the medicine?"
He stammered and explained: "I, I was careless!"
Lin Xiaoruan didn't say anything else, just picked up the spoon and fed the medicine to Tang Mingxuan.
Mo Lingyue really couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere, so he turned around and left in a huff.
He rushed out of the inn, found a restaurant, walked in and ordered: "Bring us wine, the more the better!"
Soon, he was drunk and his eyes were blurry.
He reached out and shook the wine jar in his hand and said, "Why are you accusing me so wrongly? Do you know how upset I am? I clearly returned to the capital for you!"
A figure walked in from outside, and he cursed without even looking up: "Get out, don't disturb me while I'm drinking!"
Lin Xiaoruan's clear voice rang in his ears: "City Lord Mo, are you really going to drive me away?"
Mo Lingyue's whole body trembled violently, and he staggered to his feet subconsciously.
Perhaps because he was too drunk, his whole body fell forward uncontrollably.
Lin Xiaoruan immediately supported him: "Why did you drink so much?"
Mo Lingyue's eyes turned red with grievance. He said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoruan, I'm jealous of him. I'm jealous that he can receive your meticulous care!"
Lin Xiaoruan helplessly explained: "He was injured in order to save me, so of course I have to do my best for him!"
She paused, then continued, "If you appeared in front of me covered in wounds, I would never stand idly by, because we are good friends!"
Mo Lingyue mustered up the courage to speak: "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to be friends with you? I like you!"
Lin Xiaoruan blinked: "But Jingcheng is too far away, I don't want to be separated from my sister. She is the person I respect most in my life, I must stay by her side!"
Mo Lingyue subconsciously asked anxiously, "What if I could stay in the capital for you?"
Lin Xiaoruan frowned immediately and quickly refused: "Lord Mo, you must not be willful. You are the Lord of Jingcheng. How can you abandon the people for your own selfish love? Don't say anything more. I will not choose you, and I have no feelings for Tang Mingxuan. I only want to be a good doctor in this life!"
Mo Lingyue wanted to say something else, but his vision suddenly went dark and he passed out from drunkenness.
Lin Xiaoruan quickly ordered someone to send him back to the inn and hand him over to Mrs. Xing and her daughter for good care.
When Mo Lingyue woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
He rubbed the back of his chaotic head and said, "Snowman, how long have I been sleeping?"
Xing Xuexue's tears fell: "Cousin, you really scared me to death. Do you know that my mother and I didn't sleep a wink all night? How could you drink so much? You have never done this before!"
Mo Lingyue said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Is my aunt okay?"
Mrs. Xing walked in with hot porridge. "What could I possibly do? It was Xue'er who took care of everything. She gave you hangover soup, wiped you down with warm water, and even scared you so much that you kept crying. Look, your eyes are swollen like walnuts!"
Mo Lingyue reached out and rubbed her head. "Thank you, cousin. When we get to the capital, I'll buy you some beautiful pearl flowers!"
Xing Xuexue whimpered and threw herself into his arms: "I don't want the pearl flowers, I just want my cousin to be well. Who told you to drink so much? Never again!"
Mo Lingyue promised: "Well, I won't drink anymore, cousin, I promise!"
Mrs. Xing pulled her out of his arms and said, "Okay, stop pestering your cousin. Let him drink this bowl of hot porridge, and we can set off tomorrow!"
Mo Lingyue asked doubtfully, "Are you leaving tomorrow? Is Tang Mingxuan okay?"
Xing Xuexue replied unhappily: "I don't know if he's good or not, but Miss Xiaoruan said she'll leave tomorrow!"
A complex look flashed across Mo Lingyue's eyes. He didn't want to let go!
The next day, the carriage was back on the road.
Lin Xiaoruan seemed to be deliberately avoiding Mo Lingyue and did not communicate much with him.
Only after entering the capital did she say goodbye: "We will return to the Marquis' Mansion first. Thank you, Lord Mo, for escorting us all the way. I will praise you to my sister!"
Mo Lingyue understood the meaning behind her words. She said that we, that is, Tang Mingxuan, would live with her in the Zhan Yihou Mansion?
How is this possible?
Although she has stated that she has no feelings for him, there is no guarantee!
After all, he is the first to see the moon because he is close to the water!
Thinking of this, he said, "Does Brother Tang have nowhere to go? Why not go to Prince Jing's Mansion? There are many mansions there. I will arrange for servants to serve him carefully!"
A trace of struggle flashed in Lin Xiaoruan's eyes. She wanted to ask her elder sister's opinion first. After all, she was her savior.
Tang Mingxuan took a weak breath and said, "Don't bother City Lord Mo. I can settle down in the inn first. When I am fully recovered, I will buy a house!"
How could Lin Xiaoruan let him stay at the inn? She quickly said, "I still have to take care of his injuries, so there's no reason for me to abandon him. Thank you, Lord Mo, for your kindness!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she urged the carriage to leave quickly.
Looking at their backs, Mo Lingyue's expression became gloomy and complicated.
Madam Xing urged him, "Ayue, don't just stand there, let's go back home quickly!"
Xing Xuexue was so happy that she couldn't express it in words. This was her first time in Beijing, and the streets here were much more lively than those in Jingcheng.
She thought the jewelry and clothes must be very novel, so she wanted her cousin to take her shopping.
The three of them entered Prince Jing's mansion, and servants had already cleaned all the courtyards.
Xing Xuexue said confidently, "Mother, I will be the mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion from now on. I love this courtyard so much!"
Mrs. Xing poured cold water on her: "That depends on whether your cousin agrees."
Xing Xuexue frowned: "Why would he disagree? Miss Xiaoruan doesn't like him at all. Is he going to keep pestering her?"
