Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Mu Jin's answer was more direct: "This woman was clearly doing it on purpose. It's such a coincidence that she could fall right into someone's arms. If I were a man, I would definitely push her away."

Zi Ping chuckled, "That's so ungentlemanly! A man should be a gentleman."

Mu Jin disagreed, saying, "The term 'gentleman' is used to describe people who care about their reputation. Those who have no shame deserve only to act like scoundrels."

Zi Ping clapped her hands, "Mu Jin's thinking is still the most righteous."

Yang Jianwu touched her nose and whispered to Mo Ye, "This seems to be similar to how the man was schemed against, which we were just discussing."

Mo Ye nodded, "It is very similar."

Zi Ping thought Prince Ning was pretending to be stupid, "Hmph, some people have forgotten what they did."

Yang Jianwu finally realized what they were talking about. So they were referring to Mo Ye, and the woman lying in his arms? She looked at Mo Ye with a questioning gaze: Who is she?

Mo Ye inwardly groaned, "Ziping, I don't remember anyone falling into my arms. Saying that could cause a misunderstanding."

"Fine, you won't admit it, huh? Just you wait." Zi Ping said, then jogged away.

Yang Jianwu sighed helplessly... This girl... What does it have to do with you whether Prince Ning was framed or not?! She called Mu Jin to help, "Let's grill some skewers first, and Zi Ping can probably eat them when she gets back."

Mu Jin hadn't had barbecue skewers in a long time, and swallowed hard. "Okay, Miss."

Seeing that Zi Ping seemed quite certain, Mo Ye felt a little uncertain. He tried to recall who had fallen into his arms, but couldn't. He was also distracted while helping out, as he kept thinking about this.

Yang Jianwu paid no attention to this little incident, busy adding charcoal, turning the food over, brushing on oil, adding seasonings... she was having a great time.

Mo Ye was also drawn to her figure, forgetting all other thoughts. She was focused on grilling, and he watched intently. The meat sizzled as it grilled, and a drop of hot oil slowly slid down the plump meat, a sight that was intoxicating.

Zi Ping pulled Hong Dian over, followed by Jing Nan.

Yang Jianwu looked up when she heard footsteps. "You're back. The meat is almost ready. Sit down and we'll eat in a bit."

Zi Ping looked at the roasted meat, its color a glistening golden brown. Although she really wanted to eat it, she suppressed her craving and decided to deal with the problem first. "Hong Dian, tell me, did the second young lady of Minister Wen's family fall into Prince Ning's arms last year?"

Hongdian was completely bewildered... He was being dragged along by Ziping, feeling a little panicked. It was already dark, where was she taking him? Halfway there, they encountered Young Master Nan, who asked Ziping where she was going. Only then did he realize they were there to confront His Highness...

But how... how to confront him? He just wanted to praise his master, but when he looked up at his master, good heavens, his face was dark. Hong Dian quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Your Highness, please calm down. I was just chatting with Miss Zi Ping."

Mo Ye was furious at how stupid his subordinates were! Even chatting casually with a maid could lead to misunderstandings. He sighed, "You'd better tell the truth!"

Hong Dian was at a loss. Was his master asking him to tell the truth or not? He just wanted to praise his master for being kind-hearted, how did it turn out like this...?

“Um, Miss Ziping, you misheard, that’s not true…” Hongdian thought for a long time before finally uttering this sentence.

Zi Ping put her hands on her hips and pointed back and forth between Prince Ning and Hong Dian, "You're lying, aren't you?! You didn't say that this afternoon. There's a saying, 'Trying to cover up only makes things worse.' Prince Ning and that Miss Wen definitely have something going on!"

Mo Ye's forehead veins throbbed. "Hong Dian, what exactly happened!" Afraid that Yang Jianwu might misunderstand something, he quickly explained, "Little Wu'er, I really didn't do it. Do you believe me? If I had done it, they would definitely have to take responsibility, and I don't have anyone in my manor right now..."

Yang Jianwu said casually, then suddenly said, "The meat is ready."

He glanced at Mo Ye and said with a smile, "Your Highness Prince Ning, whether you acted on your own initiative or were tricked, it has nothing to do with me, and there's no need to explain."

Mo Ye was afraid that Yang Jianwu would misunderstand, and even more afraid that Yang Jianwu didn't care. Wasn't this indifferent expression proof that she had no feelings for him? He also found Hong Dian increasingly displeasing; he was more of a hindrance than a help!

Zi Ping felt sorry for her young mistress. Why couldn't such an outstanding person find someone she could entrust her life to? One after another, they were all like this. "Miss, His Highness Prince Ning has an ambiguous relationship with others. You can't accept him."

"Cough cough!" Yang Jianwu felt like she was choking. "I have no relationship with His Highness Prince Ning. Don't talk nonsense. Remember your identity. This is the capital. You have to follow the rules."

Zi Ping understood that her mistress was warning her that this was not her territory and that offending people would be difficult to deal with. She glared at Hong Dian and turned to sit down next to Yang Jianwu.

Seeing that no one was offering skewers, Yang Jianwu couldn't resist her cravings and grabbed a skewer. She snorted at it, not caring about the heat, and took a big bite. Wow! So satisfying! A feeling of pure bliss washed over her; it was truly delicious. Seeing their young mistress start eating, Zi Ping and Mu Jin also picked up skewers and began to eat as well.

Mo Ye believed Jing Nan's words that one had to be thick-skinned to pursue a girl. He sat down on the ground, picked up a skewer from the shelf and ate it. The taste was slightly spicy with a fresh aroma, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with delicious meat. It was indeed unique. This girl always brought surprises when she cooked.

A "gulp" sound came from Hongdian swallowing his saliva.

Mo Ye gave him a cold look. "Let's go back first. Do you want to come along?" This was something he and Xiao Wu'er prepared; how could they let it go to someone else?

Hongdian dared not eat the food his master had prepared, and ran away as fast as he could. Ziping muttered under her breath, "Coward."

Jing Nan couldn't resist the temptation and sat down to join the skewers. Mo Ye wanted to shoo them away, but being brothers, he swallowed his words. The grilled meat skewers were golden brown, thickly covered with spices, and tender and smooth to the taste. This Miss Yang had brought so many business opportunities! Jing Nan looked at Yang Jianwu with starry eyes, full of anticipation.

Sensing someone watching her, she looked up and met Jing Nan's sincere gaze, then coldly said, "Don't ask, I'm not selling, it's too tiring!"

Jingnan's enthusiasm was completely dampened. "Do you have to be so quick to agree...? Think about it?"

Yang Jianwu's refusal this time was thorough: "I'm not considering it. You can play by yourself."

Mo Ye stopped Jing Nan, "Xiao Wu'er must have her reasons. Don't force her." Jing Nan lowered his head dejectedly, slowly eating his skewers. Such delicious food, why not sell it? Does Miss Yang have too much money and not want to add any more businesses? I can help manage them.

Jing Nan was still unwilling to give up. He looked at Yang Jianwu and was about to continue to persuade her when Yang Jianwu spoke up, "Eating too much barbecue is not good. It can cause cancer, and this disease is very difficult to cure. It's okay to enjoy it occasionally."
