Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 223 The wedding date is brought forward

In recent years, Old Yuan often came to the tent to bring food to Shen Beiqi.

Since this summer, this bottle of Muqizhi has been kept in the Duke's account.

Sometimes when the Duke was busy, he would go to the fields to pick fresh flowers to replace them when he saw the flowers had wilted.

It is now September, and all the branches of the muqi trees in the field have already withered.

The people living nearby also began to dig up the branches of the Chinese magnolia and sell them to pharmacies in exchange for some money to get through the winter.

"What did you say?"

Shen Beiqi turned around and asked in confusion, "Isn't this flower called Lixing Grass?"

"My Lord, this flower is indeed called Lixing Grass, but its root is a medicinal herb called Muqi Branch. We in the northern border call it Muqi Branch."

Shen Beiqi was stunned for a moment.

"Muqi?"

He repeated softly, as if chewing on the profound meaning of the name, "Which two words?"

Old Yuan smiled and explained, "It's the Mu in admiration, and Qi is the Qi in your name."

Mu of admiration, Qi of Shen Beiqi.

For a moment, everything around seemed to stop.

Only the autumn wind blew slowly, across the sparse fields in the north, ruffling the corners of the tent curtains.

Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered like a phantom.

There was still a wisp of heat floating above the clear soup.

Old Yuan's voice echoed in his ears again and again.

Suddenly, it was as if something exploded in his mind.

He hurriedly took out the square handkerchief from his arms.

The flowers embroidered on this handkerchief are exactly Mu Qi's.

And the purse she gave him was also embroidered with Mu Qi.

When he asked her, she told him that the flower was called Lixingcao, but she didn't tell him that the root of the flower was a medicinal herb called Muqizhi.

If she said that it was accidental and she was unaware of it, Shen Beiqi would not believe it.

There are not so many coincidences in this world. If there are, they must be intentional.

So, she knew the name of the flower from the beginning, and secretly embroidered it on her handkerchief with great thought.

Maybe she had already fallen in love with him since then?

Almost in an instant, he suddenly realized, as if he had been enlightened.

It turned out that he was not the only one who was addicted to that night.

An indescribable joy surged in my heart, as turbulent and fierce as the tide.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly, and felt that he was a little childish.

Even at this age, I still act like an ignorant teenager, with my heart beating like a drum and feeling excited.

However, on second thought, he felt that this was natural.

It turns out that he has always had a place in her heart.

He only hated that he was in the North at that time and could not find her immediately, hug her tightly in his arms, and interrogate her why she tortured him like this?

Why should he be worried about gains and losses every day?

Why not tell him that he has always been in her heart?

It's late at night and everything is silent.

Jiang Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, so she simply got up, put on her clothes, and gently pushed open the window.

The watery moonlight poured down, sprinkling into the house, reflecting her soft, vertical black hair like satin.

She raised her chin slightly and looked towards the crescent moon in the sky.

At the same time, in a distant place separated by countless mountains and rivers, a tall figure stood outside the tent.

The young man put his hands behind his back and also stared at the bright moon in the night sky.

The flames in the brazier roared, and the flickering light was reflected on the corners of the young man's robe that fluttered in the wind.

If, I lose this time...

Whether it is the crown prince or the second prince who ascends the throne, the result is the same.

Not only will the Shen family be destroyed, but A'li will certainly not survive.

With dancing flames reflected in his eyes, Shen Beiqi tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in his hand.

He can't lose!

And will never lose!

……

The next morning, Xingping said as she was setting the table, "Oh, Miss, you came back late yesterday, and I forgot that Baozhu came over yesterday."

Jiang Li sat down in front of the dining table and asked, "Baozhu is here? But what happened to my second sister?"

Xing Ping held the red lacquer tray in her hand and said, "It's not a big deal. They said the second young lady's wedding date has been moved forward from December 21st to this month's 21st."

Change the wedding date?

Today is the tenth day of September, only ten days left?

Jiang Li held the silver chopsticks and felt a little strange. "Why do you want to change the wedding date?"

"I don't know about that." Xingping shook her head.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up a piece of red bean paste biscuit, "After dinner, let's go back to the Shen Mansion."

Jiang Li hadn't been to the Shen Mansion for many days. Before going to see Shen Zhiyan, he went to Qiwu Pavilion to pay a visit to Yang.

Yang looked much thinner recently, so Jiang Li asked with concern, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Yang sighed and looked at her helplessly.

What could she say?

Her adopted daughter has an unclear relationship with her biological son, and now her biological daughter is pregnant before marriage. She really wants to kill herself.

In addition to Shen Zhiyan's matter, Master Yang also frequently put pressure on him and insisted on marrying Yang Lijun.

He even suggested that the two of them should pay the tribute first.

This is really ridiculous. Let’s not even talk about whether the betrothal ceremony can be held.

Even if it was really done, it would be impossible to restrain her son Shen Beiqi.

Yang now understood that her children were all debts, and they all came to collect debts from her!
