Chapter 176 Identity Matter
Meng Changqing was chased by Qin Yuehuai, and he was a little uneasy when facing Cai Xizhu, but he didn't expect it until he heard her open her mouth. Before she could say a word, she saw her father Cai Yu coming out of the house menacingly.

As if facing a formidable enemy, Cai Yu walked to Cai Xizhu in a few steps and stood between her and others.

He was clearly a country doctor, but he felt inexplicably imposing.

Meng Changqing looked calm on his face, but he couldn't help but take a deep breath in his heart.

This was one of the reasons why he didn't come here openly.

The rumor that Cai Xizhu was deceived by his cousin Li Jiahao was spread out for some reason, and Cai Yu later broke off the engagement with the Li family.Li Jiahao was so injured by him that he could no longer be humane, but for this matter, the Li family put the blame on Cai Xizhu.Not only that, the old man of the Li family also passed away a few days after Cai Yu stopped treating him.

These two incidents, together with the Cai Xizhu incident, became a shame that profoundly affected the descendants of the Cai and Li families, and became an irreconcilable conflict between the two families.

Although neither party reported it to the official, the entire Qingshan County knew that the two families, which had greatly damaged their face, were completely at odds with each other.

In Meng Changqing's view, Cai Yu obviously hates the Li family and has no good feelings toward anyone who has anything to do with the Li family. What's more, he is a close relative of the Li family. Whenever he appears in Qingshui Village, the door of the Cai family will always be open. It was tightly closed, let alone if he wanted to propose marriage.

However, he didn't know something before he received Shen Yanhan. When Cai Yu saw him arriving with Qin Yuehuai, he had something else in mind.

Cai Yu said: "Why are Yushi Meng and Academician Qi free to come to the humble house today?"

Shen Yanhan, who followed Cai Yu out, was confused. Cai Yu was obviously familiar with Qin Yuehuai, so how could he accurately tell his current position and accept Qin Yuehuai's new identity so calmly? It was a bit surprising. nor.

Qin Yuehuai cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Dr. Cai has excellent medical skills. Because I am suffering from an old disease, I came to see Dr. Cai for treatment. I wonder if Dr. Cai can be convenient for treatment?"

Shen Yan looked at Qin Yuehuai coldly, scoffing at his pretense.

Where did he get his old illness?

When she mentioned "old illness", she naturally also thought of what she had asked Cai Yufangzi about him. In addition to scoffing at Qin Yuehuai, she also thought of the possible results of the two people's nonsense last night. The hand under her sleeve touched her lower abdomen, and she frowned. .

Qin Yuehuai has said this. Cai Yu is a doctor, so how can he refuse patients?

After listening to Qin Yuehuai's words, Cai Yu raised his hand in a silent gesture of invitation.

Qin Yuehuai glanced at Meng Changqing, and then said: "Zijian, wait for me for a moment."

Meng Changqing nodded.

Qin Yuehuai walked towards the house. When he passed by Shen Yanhan, he stopped and whispered, "Jiaojiao, come in too."

Shen Yanhan glanced away, trying to act like she didn't know him, but he didn't hide his disguise in front of Cai Yu at all. She was extremely surprised by this, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Qin Yuehuai's face looked serious. After hesitating for a few moments, she finally stepped through the door.

*
There was a "squeak" sound and the door was closed.

Only Meng Changqing and Cai Xizhu stood up and looked at him.

Their eyes met and they were silent for a while.

Meng Changqing secretly summoned up the courage to smile at Cai Xizhu and break the silence by answering the question she asked him before Cai Yu appeared: "I... came to see you."

Meng Silang was as handsome and charming as ever, with a charming smile.

Cai Xizhu didn't know that this person had come here secretly in recent months, but Cai Xizhu was really confused: "Meng Silang, why are you doing this?"

For a husband like him, why should he worry about being surrounded by young ladies?Regardless of her identity or appearance, Cai Xizhu felt quite ashamed in front of him.It was precisely because of her lack of confidence that when she took the initiative and hit a wall, she immediately retracted her tentacles and walked in another direction like the timid snail.

They were not the same kind of people to begin with, what's more, Cai Xizhu is still an insulted little lady in the eyes of outsiders.

But when it comes to love, who can really understand it? How can it be unforgettable just by looking at the other person?

Meng Changqing raised the corners of his mouth, mocking himself, and shook his head gently.

He was probably obsessed.

Cai Xizhu's eyes were clear and black, and her round face was slightly flushed from the hard work of grinding medicine. She was standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. The sunlight filtered through the shadows of the trees and dappled her body. Her white apron reflected the light. There was a bright light, and not far behind was a row of medicine shelves, and the fragrance of the medicine spread in all directions with the breeze.

Seeing this scene and smelling this fragrance, Meng Changqing felt that her whole body had gained a lot of pleasant and leisurely charm.

He glanced around her and asked curiously: "You don't paint now?"

Cai Xizhu nodded.

Meng Changqing raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Why?"

Cai Xizhu pulled at the edge of her apron slightly awkwardly.

In fact, painting itself was not her strong point. She only learned it for a short time when she was a child. When she was older, Cai Yu took her south, and the journey was full of twists and turns.In a time of social turmoil, it is common for fathers and daughters to live without a fixed place. Cai Yu is busy making a living, how can she find a husband to teach her?

She had previously collaborated with Shen Yanhan on clothes drawings. Most of them were painted with colors after Qin Qilang's strokes, or copied his paintings, and did not take on important aspects of the drawings.

In arts such as painting and calligraphy, if you don't have extraordinary talent, you have to seek the guidance of a master and study hard to achieve success. She knew that she was not good at both. After "something happened", she simply hid back in Qingshui Village.

Cai Xizhu said: "I am interested in medicinal materials and medical skills, and I want to inherit my father's legacy."

Meng Changqing was surprised: "Really?"

Cai Xizhu nodded again and heard Meng Changqing ask again: "Why aren't you interested in moving forward?"

When it came to this matter, Cai Xizhu was unwilling to tell the truth to him.It wasn't that she wasn't interested in moving forward, but Cai Yu had never wanted her to delve into medical skills. When he discovered she was secretly reading medical books, Cai Yu put them in the cabinet and locked them.Cai Yu said that a doctor's craft is not like other crafts. Those who are not skilled in medical skills will only do harm to others. She does not have such a talent and cannot endure the hardship of studying medicine. He does not want her to make mistakes in her profession.

Cai Xizhu didn't understand why her father had changed his mind and was now willing to let her study medicine. However, she naturally didn't want to talk about these private matters between father and daughter to outsiders.

She just said perfunctorily to Meng Changqing: "People's preferences can change."

As the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly realized that this sentence could also be a pun, so she added: "Many of the things I liked in the past, I no longer like now."

Meng Changqing's mouth twitched slightly.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be grateful that I had been loved by her.

He prides himself on always being able to move among women with ease, but he never expected that one day he would find it difficult to refute anything when faced with a young lady.

After Cai Xizhu finished speaking and saw that Meng Changqing was silent, she sat back again, lowered her eyes and continued to push her medicine grinder.

Her eyes were fixed on the medicinal materials and no longer looked around. It was not as if she was in her own home, but as if she had been a guest in a stranger's home.

The pressure on her fingers was heavy and heavy, and she didn't realize that the medicine had become much more delicate than before due to her excessive crushing.

Meng Changqing didn't leave either. When he saw Cai Xizhu going back to work, he took a few long steps to the stone table. He didn't sit down either. He just leaned his buttocks against the table, shaking the fan in his hand and watching quietly. Cai Xizhu grinding.

From the corner of her eye, Cai Xizhu saw him standing there, his hands getting heavier.

*
The two people in this room were quiet, but the air in the room was obviously much calmer.

Shen Yanhan quickly understood the reason why Qin Yuehuai specifically let her in.

After closing the door, Qin Yuehuai solemnly handed over to Cai Yu: "Qin Shi Qi Lang, Yu, thank Mr. Cai for saving his life."

He suddenly said his real name and the grace of saving his life. Shen Yanhan's eyes widened and he looked at Qin Yuehuai.

She would not have thought that she could clearly see the new hideous scars on his body last night.

If Qin Yuehuai felt something, he still bent over and cupped his hands, and added: "If it weren't for being saved by Mr. Cai in February, Yu would be a pile of bones this morning. Mr. Cai is like a reborn parent to Yu. Please be happy. bye."

When Shen Yanhan heard what he said, she clenched her hands.

February, wasn't it the time when he disappeared?Did he disappear out of thin air because he was seriously injured?

Shen Yanhan stared at Qin Yuehuai's gentle features, her eyes changing from shock, to distress, to resentment.

He did it on purpose.

He deliberately didn't give her a letter, and he also deliberately brought her here to listen to his thanks.

Cai Yu looked at Qin Yuehuai who was about to salute, and quickly supported his elbow: "No need to kneel down."

At the same time, he had doubts in his heart: Qin Qilang had saluted him and thanked him when he recovered, and also ordered someone to send him a generous medical fee. There was no need to risk being recognized by the villagers of Qingshui Village as the number one scholar in Qi. risk, come here in person.

He looked at Shen Yanhan and didn't believe that Qin Yuehuai came specifically to explain to her.

When Cai Yu was suspicious, Qin Qilang, who was supported by him, paused and then straightened up.

His gentle face suddenly became serious and tinged with majesty. He looked directly at Cai Yu with a cold look and asked, "Why can't Mr. Cai accept my kneeling down?"

With such a questioning tone, even Shen Yanhan noticed something strange. She was smart. Thinking of Cai Yu's performance after Qin Yuehuai appeared today, she couldn't help but think of a possibility.

The next moment, her suspicion was confirmed from Qin Yuehuai, who asked: "You already know my true identity, right?"

Shen Yanhan stared and blurted out: "How is this possible?"

Even she, the person she spends day and night with, doesn't know Qin Yuehuai's true identity. Cai Yu has only met Qin Yuehuai a few times in Qingshui Village, so how could he know?
But Cai Yu's expression was so unusual. After hearing Qin Yuehuai's question, his expression froze, and he looked at Qin Yuehuai with very complicated eyes.

Qin Yuehuai then said firmly: "Mr. Cai is from Bianjing. You understand the reason behind Mrs. Shen's death, and you clearly know that the medicine she took is a secret prescription from Ouchi. If you still recognize me, your identity should be It’s close to the royal family.”

Shen Yanhan listened to Qin Yuehuai's analysis and was shocked: in a small Qingshui Village, there were two people with complicated backgrounds.

Cai Yu remained silent and did not answer.

Qin Yuehuai said again: "If I guess correctly, Cai Yu is not your real name. Your real name is Yu, and you are the grandson-in-law of Wang Gui, the former Prime Minister and Duke of Qi State. Li Sanniang, Li Zhen, is your wife, and Li Si Niang is your wife. Li Qing is your sister-in-law. And now Wang Qiong, the wife of the Prime Minister, and Wang Zhang, the wife of the Duke of Qi, are your wife’s cousins.”

Cai Yu took a deep breath.

He thought Qin Yuehuai would guess some of his identity, but he didn't expect that he already knew him well.

If he knew him so well, he must have known why he left Bianjing.

At this moment, Cai Yu couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.

Although Shen Yanhan on the side didn't know who the Yu family in Bianjing was, she knew about the powerful Wang family.Since Cai Yu is the son-in-law of the Wang family, a powerful family, why does he live in seclusion here?Especially since he also has Cai Xizhu, whom he regards as his eyeball. If his identity is revealed, wouldn't Cai Xizhu's future be brighter just because he is an in-law of the Wang family?
She glanced at Cai Yu and whispered in confusion: "Since we are in-laws of the Wang family, why do we have to remain anonymous?"

Qin Yuehuai smiled without a smile, and said quietly: "Maybe it's because he is carrying a lot of sin behind him."
