Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin

Kapitel 55

A sweet voice broke the awkward silence: "Brother Nangong, look, the chrysanthemums have already withered."

.

Brother Nangong!

Yang Nianqing felt a chill run down her spine; it was so cheesy… But the next moment she laughed. The humble and polite Nangong Xue was being dragged along by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, his handsome and gentle face full of helplessness.

Qiu Bailu frowned, presumably disliking the scene.

Yang Nianqing coughed and asked, "Brother Nangong?"

Upon seeing the two, Nangong Xue was stunned.

Tang Kesi said happily, "Sister Yang, so you're here too."

“I was watching Brother Qiu tend to the flowers,” Yang Nianqing smiled at her, but secretly winked at Nangong Xue, revealing a mysterious expression, “I didn’t expect you two to be so interested…”

She deliberately pronounced "two people" loudly and slowly.

Seeing her ambiguous expression, Nangong Xue was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and smiled bitterly. Taking advantage of Tang Kesi's distraction, she subtly withdrew her hand and put it behind her back.

Still shy?

Yang Nianqing almost burst out laughing.

Tang Kesi didn't notice any of this, and just frowned: "Yes, these flowers were all planted by my mother. Brother Nangong said he wanted to come and admire the flowers, but the chrysanthemums have all bloomed, so there's nothing to see."

Seeing Qiu Bailu beside her, she snorted and turned her face away, seemingly still holding a grudge against him.

Nangong Xue is such an outstanding man—handsome, gentle, and understanding—and he's got both money and talent. He'd be the perfect husband in modern times! In ancient times, if it weren't for his reputation for being "uninterested in women," he'd probably have a ton of girls chasing after him. This Miss Tang has most likely fallen for him; books say that many girls in ancient times married at fifteen or sixteen…

Seeing that the handsome man was about to fall into someone else's hands, Yang Nianqing felt a little regretful, but she was also sensible: "I see... You two enjoy the flowers, I have some things to do, so I'll head back first."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

But who knew—

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also need to discuss some important matters with Brother Qiu. I couldn't find him anywhere, but he is right here."

.

Huh? He's really not interested in women, and he's actually leaving when a beautiful woman is right in front of him?

Yang Nianqing had always liked Nangong Xue. Although he was not interested in women, he still had to get married and have children. Was he a celibate? No way, it would be such a waste to have such excellent genes... Besides, he wasn't a BL fan. It would be a waste not to cherish such a good man. Although Miss Tang was a bit willful, she wasn't a bad person at heart. She was also beautiful, innocent and cute. She was barely a match for him!

She thought about it in a very impure way, and subconsciously she still didn't want Nangong Xue to become a monk.

Sure enough, Tang Kesi's face was full of disappointment: "So Brother Nangong is looking for him?"

“Indeed, thank you for showing the way, Miss Tang,” Nangong Xue smiled, then looked at Qiu Bailu, “I wonder if Brother Qiu is free at the moment?”

I said no!

Yang Nianqing immediately tugged at Qiu Bailu's sleeve, signaling him to leave.

Who knew that not only was Nangong Xue a clueless fool, but Qiu Bailu was also a clueless simpleton. He simply nodded and said indifferently, "Alright, I'm free anyway."

Brother, why do you have to be a third wheel? This isn't the way to help a friend...

Yang Nianqing was speechless. She just frowned, shook her head, and winked at Nangong Xue, as if to say, "This beauty likes you, brother. You're so clueless about romance. Do you want to become a monk?"

Seeing her like this, Nangong Xue couldn't help but laugh again. For the first time in her life, she even rolled her eyes at her with her naturally noble phoenix eyes, seemingly with a hint of reproach.

Even when a handsome guy rolls his eyes at someone, he still looks handsome!

.

Yang Nianqing lost her temper after being stared at like that. Seeing the two of them walk away, she could only feel sorry for Miss Tang in her heart. This beautiful girl must be heartbroken.

Sure enough, Tang Kesi stood there, looking sad.

Yang Nianqing felt a little sorry for her and went up to pull her along, saying, "Let's go."

Tang Kesi lowered her head and remained motionless for a long time before whispering, "Sisters, do you all think I'm very fierce and that you all hate me?"

She looks so cute with tears welling up in her eyes! How can Nangong Xue be so oblivious to romance!

Yang Nianqing softened and immediately comforted her, "No, you're very cute and beautiful."

"Then..." Tang Kesi glanced in the direction Nangong Xue had gone, "Why is Brother Nangong ignoring me?"

"Don't worry, if he really disliked you, he wouldn't have asked you to lead the way," Yang Nianqing couldn't bear to see the girl upset. "Brother Nangong really has something to do."

As she spoke, she coughed again: "He's not going to leave anyway, so what's the rush? There are plenty of opportunities to woo him."

Tang Kesi blushed.

No wonder she's an ancient girl; she's never heard such explicit words before.

Yang Nianqing actually wanted to play matchmaker for them. Such an innocent and carefree girl, yet Nangong Xue still wouldn't get close. Was he truly clueless about romance, or were his standards too high? Or perhaps, he didn't like the younger, more innocent type?

“I know they must have something important to do,” Tang Kesi finally believed, but then her face fell. “Are you here to investigate my father’s case? You must avenge my father!”

"Don't worry, He Bi and the others are already investigating," Yang Nianqing reassured her.

"He Bi?" Tang Kesi was startled, then excitedly grabbed her hand. "'Why bother finding excuses, big or small cases are no problem,' is that young master He Bi?"

.

Even in ancient times, the star effect was unavoidable!

Yang Nianqing sighed: "It's him."

Tang Kesi asked happily, "Where is he? Sister, can you take me to see him?"

You won't like him.

2a of "Why?"

"He also has the face of a boss."

Tang Kesi asked curiously, "What's this 'boss's face'?"

“It’s like…” Yang Nianqing thought for a moment and decided to use the most vivid and apt metaphor, “It’s like Brother Qiu, who always has a stern face and never smiles.”

Tang Kesi was stunned: "Really?"

She gradually loosened her grip, pouting, seemingly still harboring resentment towards Qiu Bailu.

Yang Nianqing chuckled inwardly: "How about I point it out to you sometime?"

Tang Kesi nodded, then quietly asked, "Young Master He Bi is here, is Young Master Li You here too? I heard he's very handsome, has the best lightness skill in the world, and is very kind. Many girls like him. Do you know him, sister?"

"Him?" Yang Nianqing paused, then mumbled, "Him? No."

gloat.

You should just call yourself "Li Yang" (李杨), it'll block your luck with romance, serves you right!

Tang Kesi was indeed deflated: "I thought it was the one in white. He's also very handsome, and his surname is Li. He also seems to be quite skilled in martial arts. It turns out it wasn't him."

Yang Nianqing tentatively asked, "You like it?"

"I just wanted to see him," Tang Kesi said, no longer acting shy. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "But Sister Xiao Ling'er likes him a lot and is looking for him everywhere."

Xiao Ling'er?

Yang Nianqing secretly memorized the name.

No wonder that guy used a fake name; he was afraid of being harassed by women and having affairs. Serves him right! She was just indignant: YYD always drags me into his schemes. You use a fake name and you expect me to use one too?

.

Seeing that Tang Kesi was off guard, Yang Nianqing inquired about the important matter: "I heard that your father and mother are very good, have they really never quarreled?"

Tang Kesi said sadly, "They never used to argue, but not long ago, they started arguing all the time for some reason, and Mother got really angry..."

Yang Nianqing feigned surprise: "Why are they arguing?"

Tang Kesi shook her head: "I don't know either, Mother won't let us hear it."

Yang Nianqing thought for a moment: "Do you know Lin Xing?"

"Uncle Lin?" Tang Kesi was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "He was Father's sworn brother and they always had a good relationship. When Father was still alive, he often went to him for drinks and conversation."

Is he a kind person?

Tang Kesi nodded: "Uncle Lin is very good. He used to come to our house often, but he hasn't visited us for more than a year now, and Mother won't let my brother and me look for him."

Yang Nianqing asked curiously, "He's your uncle, so why aren't you allowed to see him? Does your mother dislike him?"

Tang Kesi said, "Right? Mother doesn't like hearing people talk about him either."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head again: "It doesn't seem like he's that bad. After Father passed away, my brother kept causing trouble for him, and Mother scolded him several times after she found out."

Yang Nianqing was puzzled.

Madam Ye disliked him, yet forbade anyone to make things difficult for him. Just who is this Lin Xing? And what is his relationship with Tang Jingfeng and his wife?

Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is like silver.

The surrounding scenery looked so familiar, as if I had seen it before. Where was I? Yang Nianqing was a little confused, and unconsciously continued walking forward along the covered walkway.

Bright moon, cassia tree, man, book.

Tranquility.

Broken Heart Manor? How did we end up here again? Yang Nianqing was shocked. Wasn't that man Bai Wuyi, the Third Hero of Bai, whom she had seen in her dream last time? Could it be that Yun Biyue was about to arrive again? Was that scene about to repeat itself?

My mind started to fog up again.

All of this is perfectly natural...
