Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 14: One must live before he can have a reputation
"Who's lying?"
Cheng Qin originally came over to listen to what the two children were whispering, but as soon as she came over, she heard her murmuring and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Mu Qingli quickly came back to his senses, looked at his mother, smiled, shook his head and changed the subject.
"Nothing much. Mother was busy attending the banquet today and worked hard. I asked Qilan to make you a cup of medicinal tea in the evening. You should have a good rest."
Cheng Qin's eyes curved with joy at her daughter's thoughtfulness. She smiled, raised her hand to touch her head and handed her a note.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Just in time, the Princess's residence has sent me an invitation saying they're inviting everyone to a lotus banquet tomorrow, and they'd like to invite you along."
Mu Qingli raised his hand to take it, lowered his eyes to look at the words on the post, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and his tone became softer.
"Okay, I'll definitely go there myself."
Personally...give them a big gift!
Fu Chen glanced at her calmly, feeling more and more strange in his heart. He lowered his eyes and drank tea quietly and chatted from time to time, but he made up his mind to ask his eldest disciple what was going on later.
The family chatted in the pavilion for a while and soon started to eat dinner. They were in a happy mood until they went back to their respective homes. Fu Chen even took Mu Fushu away.
Mu Qingli glanced at them and didn't say much, just smiled and then took Qiu Jin and Qilan back to Liyuan.
Qiu Jin led the way with a lantern in front, while Qilan protected the young lady as they walked towards their own yard, carefully watching her step to avoid falling and hurting the young lady.
Who knew that she would suddenly hear the lady calling her name.
"Qilan, did you receive the things?"
Qilan subconsciously touched the purse around her waist, looked up hesitantly and nodded.
"I got it... but miss, have you really thought it through? What if... it would be bad for your reputation in the future."
Mu Qingli raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the night sky. There were only a few stars faintly visible, but they were enough to illuminate the small space. The corners of her lips curled up slightly without any emotion.
"Qilan, remember that one must be alive before one can have a reputation. Talking about reputation when one is already worried about whether or not one can survive is nonsense."
Until now, she sometimes wonders in her dreams if she had cared less about her reputation in her previous life, would she not have ended up like that?
If she still cares about these things after finally living a new life, then her life would be in vain!
Qilan nodded ignorantly, and spoke cautiously the next second.
"But Miss...has our family reached such a dangerous point now?"
When this was mentioned, Qiu Jin, who was holding a lantern to light the way in front, couldn't help but turn sideways and look back, with some doubt in her eyes.
She didn't understand this either. Master Fu had taught them a lot over the past few years, and they could now understand the current situation. Hadn't the general always been favored by the emperor? Every time he returned to the capital, His Majesty would give them many rewards.
Mu Qingli narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but the coldness in his eyes still startled them, and they suppressed the questions in their mouths.
The Li Garden was not far away, and the few people came back soon. A maid came forward to greet them, holding a medicine bag in her hand, looking a little embarrassed.
"Miss, Madam just sent some more medicine over. Are you still staying up tonight?"
Mu Qingli just took a glance and felt a headache coming on.
It has been several days since she fell into the water. She felt that she was completely recovered. After all, the medicine prescribed was very effective. Unfortunately, her mother always felt that she needed more care.
After thinking about it, she nodded helplessly, "Go and endure it."
Her mother values her health, so even if she doesn't drink it, she will still have to drink it tomorrow. She knows her mother's character best.
The maid nodded and responded softly.
Mu Qingli didn't say anything more and took the straps off the rack and started tying his sleeves, ready to start practicing martial arts.
Born into an aristocratic family, she started practicing martial arts since she was a child. If her mother hadn't loved her, she would have started practicing martial arts even earlier.
Qiu Jin handed the lantern to Qilan and asked her to go over and take care of it. She waved to the maid and gave her instructions in a low voice.
"Remember to go to the kitchen and get some candied fruit. The medicine is too bitter."
The maid's name was Qingrong, and she was also a second-class maid in Liyuan. She immediately smiled and nodded, then left with the medicine.
They also have a small kitchen in their yard, and now they make medicine in their own yard.
Even the maids in this wealthy family's courtyard have class boundaries. There is only a slight difference between a first-class maid and a second-class maid, and she has to obey even if the other one is younger than her. What's more, these people are the most trusted people around the young lady.
Qiu Jin didn't say anything else, but quietly watched the young lady who was practicing shooting not far away. There was always a trace of endless sadness between her brows. After a long time, she sighed silently and started to practice with her.
Somehow, since the young lady woke up from falling into the water, she seemed to have no changes on the surface, but only she and Qilan, who served her closely, knew that she could not sleep at night without lighting calming incense.
Not only can they not sleep at night, but they also look worried during the day, as if they are always on edge and ready to explode at any moment.
Mu Qingli practiced with the red tassel spear until the end of the training session, then stopped. He let out a long breath, put the spear back on the rack, and rubbed his sore arm.
Sure enough, she had not practiced martial arts much in the past few years because she was kept at home by her mother, and her skills had become much slack. It seems that she still needs to practice more in the future. She will add another hour tomorrow during the day.
Seeing that her clothes were soaked, Qilan and Qiu Jin hurried over to block the wind and persuaded her gently.
"Miss, let's stop here for today. I've asked someone to boil some water. Please take a bath and rest."
Qilan was also a little worried about her health. She pursed her lips, nodded, and muttered to herself.
"Yes, your illness has just healed, right? But you must not catch a cold from the wind again, otherwise your body will suffer if the cold enters. Don't take it lightly. My master said that a girl's health is the most important thing.
Also, my master told you to take less of the medicine I gave you, as taking too much is not good for your health."
Two little nagging spirits on the left and right~
Mu Qingli glanced at the two of them and nodded helplessly. He walked forward while pinching his aching wrist and agreed to what they said.
"Okay, that's all for today. I'm going to take a bath. Qiu Jin, go find the medicated oil that my adoptive father sent me earlier. Is it still there? Bring it over and massage it for me. I haven't practiced for a long time and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."
She guessed that the injury was caused by not practicing for a long time, and that the medicine would help her recover faster, as her time was too precious.
Qiu Jin was the housekeeper of Liyuan. She nodded and prepared to get the medicine.
Who knew that another message would soon come from the front.
"Practice an extra hour and a half tomorrow."
