"Master Mu, you are too polite. You were hunted down this time because you were helping me gather information. I should save you."

Lianyi had no intention of hiding it from the other party, so she just spoke frankly.

Mu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said:
"Is it because I helped you find out the origin of the jade pendant that you were hunted down by Hongyanlou?"

"Yes, the information you found for me shows that the jade pendant came from Piao Miao Palace, and Hong Yan Lou is a killer organization. They are hunting you down because of a commission from Piao Miao Palace."

Lianyi said straight to the point.

"Valley Master Shan, although you asked me to help find the origin of the jade pendant, I did not read Bai Xiaosheng's reply. I just wanted to get the news to you as soon as possible. I really didn't know that the jade pendant was related to Piaomiao Palace."

Mu Qingfeng is a gentleman, so he did not check the message sent back by Bai Xiaosheng privately.

Lianyi actually trusted the other party, so she told him directly to avoid him being kept in the dark.

"I know that Master Mu is a gentleman and will definitely keep this matter a secret. I didn't expect that it would bring you trouble. This is my fault."

Ripple said apologetically.

Mu Qingfeng waved his hand generously and said:
"This is what I promised to Master Shan. You don't need to feel guilty. Besides, Master Shan also snatched me back from the hands of the King of Hell. Let's stop thanking each other and blaming ourselves."

Lian Yi smiled to show that she understood, and ended the topic, saying:
“I have already received the thank-you gift from Qin. It is exactly the precious medicinal ingredient I need, so I accepted it with audacity.

In addition, I would like to congratulate Mr. Mu and Miss Xiang'er on their happy marriage. I have prepared a gift here. Please pass it to Miss Xiang'er when Mr. Mu leaves."

After hearing this, Mu Qingfeng's face changed, and he said somewhat at a loss:

"When did I marry Xiang'er? I only treat her as my own sister."

Lian Yi rolled her eyes inwardly after hearing this, but said with a puzzled and surprised expression:
"That's exactly what I received from Miss Xiang'er in her letter. Is she lying?"

Without waiting for Mu Qingfeng's response, she raised her voice and said:
"Chun Tao, go to the inner compartment of my bedroom and get the letter written by Miss Xiang Er."

"Yes, miss!"

Chuntao responded and hurried to Fuqiu Garden.

Mu Qingfeng seemed to have realized something, but he was too embarrassed to explain, so he looked conflicted.

Lianyi didn't care about all this. She just picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, then poured herself another cup of tea.

Mu Qingfeng also sorted out his thoughts and was about to explain, but Chuntao had already returned with the letter.

Lianyi handed the letter directly to Mu Qingfeng and asked him to read it himself.

Mu Qingfeng swallowed the explanation he was about to say and read the letter at a glance. His impression of Xiang'er became worse and worse.

"Master Shan, things may be different from what you think. This time I will accompany Aunt Jiang back."

Mu Qingfeng knew very well that he didn't want Master Shan to misunderstand his relationship with Xiang'er. He originally thought that it was just an excuse to the outside world and the purpose was just to help Xiang'er get rid of the Jiang family. He didn't expect Xiang'er to take it seriously and write a letter to Master Shan as his wife.

Lianyi listened to Mu Qingfeng's explanation without changing her expression, which made Mu Qingfeng feel upset and he stopped talking.

Ripple then slowly said:

"Master Mu, we are acquainted, so I will speak frankly. It is hard not to be misunderstood that you are using this method to help Xiang'er break free from her father's control. As a bystander, I also think that you are interested in Xiang'er, so you use such a straightforward method to help her. Since you have announced to the public that you are husband and wife, you must be responsible for Xiang'er. After all, a woman's reputation is very important.

Have you ever thought about how much harm Xiang'er would suffer if you now told others that you two had nothing to do with each other? The Jiang family would have more reason to regain control of Miss Xiang'er, and all you did before would be in vain.

In order to protect Miss Xiang'er, you have to let Miss Xiang'er go out with the name of your wife. Even if you two finally separate, will Miss Xiang'er still have a good marriage?
The most important thing is that Miss Xiang'er is willing to do this because she loves you, otherwise no woman would be willing to gamble with her happiness for the rest of her life."

Perhaps because Lian Yi's words were too straightforward, Mu Qingfeng's sharp-edged face became unpredictable, no longer as calm as before. He raised his head suddenly and said:

"What about you, Master Shan? What would you do if it were you?"

Lianyi put down the teacup, leaned back in the chair, and said casually:

"If I were you, I would help Qin Shi who lost her husband and son. She is the legal wife of the Jiang family. The Jiang family has been able to survive until now thanks to Qin Shi. She must have made some arrangements over the years. It shouldn't be difficult for her to control the Jiang family and take back what belongs to her!"

After hearing this, Mu Qingfeng took a deep breath, not knowing how to respond. It seemed that Master Shan was not as kind and pure as he seemed.

When Lian Yi saw Mu Qingfeng's expression, she curled her lips secretly and said with a smile:

"Master Mu, do you think I'm vicious? But why don't you say that Jiang's husband favors his concubine over his wife, and eats soft rice for free. His family gets support from his wife, but he still does his best to suppress his wife, and supports the concubine and the wife to fight, so that he can reap the benefits.

After all, the concubine's poisoning and killing of the wife was just a fight between the women in the back house. After the matter was exposed, he could push the concubine out to appease the anger of his father-in-law's family, and at most he would be condemned for not managing the household well.

His wife's dowry can remain in his hands, and Xiang'er can also be in his hands. He can control his daughter's marriage in the future, and maybe even sell her for a good price. As for his deceased wife's dowry, who knows whether it was really given to his daughter or he embezzled it?
He is the ultimate and biggest beneficiary, and he is the most vicious person behind the scenes. Shouldn't such a person be kept alive for the New Year?"

Faced with Lianyi's aggressive questioning, Mu Qingfeng finally did not answer because he did not know how to answer.

Lianyi found it very boring. This self-righteous man, I don't know what the original body saw in him, a good-looking face? Ji Shuxian from Qingsongyuan is no worse than him.

Lianyi picked up the teacup, took a sip and said:

"Master Mu, if you don't believe my speculation, you can check it yourself when you return to Jiangnan. Now you should just focus on recovering from your injuries."

After saying that, he asked Dongxue to send Mu Qingfeng back to his own yard.

Mu Qingfeng did not refute this time and was sent back to the yard. After that, until he recovered from his injuries and left Yaowang Valley, he never took the initiative to look for Lianyi again.

After Mu Qingfeng left, Chuntao, Xia Chan and Qiu Rong gathered around Lianyi, each of them looking like they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Lianyi glared at the three of them.

Chun Tao: "Miss, is Mu Qingfeng stupid?"

Xia Chan: "He is not the lady's beloved man, and is not worthy of your trust."

Qiu Rong: "He already has a wife, what does it mean that he still wants to show his affection to our lady?"

Lian Yi listened to what the three said and said with a smile:

"Why worry about it? I don't like him." (End of this chapter)
