Ming Yin suddenly came back to her senses after hearing the voice. She hurriedly smoothed out her sleeves. Because her movements were too fast, her body couldn't help but sway. Her face became even paler."Greetings, Sir Li." After speaking, she looked at Yun Chun reproachfully, as if she was displeased that she had taken the initiative to bring him over.
When Li Yuan heard Yun Chun's message, he first rejected it and then brought him here on his own accord. He thought Ming Yin wanted to capture him but upon seeing her expression, he realized that Yun Chun must have made the decision in private.
Yun Chun lightly patted Ming Yin's hand."Little sister Ming Yin, you should have a good chat with Sir Li. Don't mind the rumors and let the clean person know."
Ming Yin couldn't help but lower her head and gently bite her lower lip. Her expression became increasingly frail as she said, "Big sister Yun Chun, you really shouldn't ..."
Yun Chun interrupted her, "Sir Li, Yun Chun will be leaving first."
"Alright." After Yun Chun had retreated, Li Yuan looked at Ming Yin with eyes full of concern."Miss Ming Yin, how is your body?"
"Thank you for Lord Li's concern. Nothing serious has happened."
"Miss Ming Yin, from the looks of it, you seem to have something on your mind. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"
Ming Yin lifted her head with a smile on her face, but a hint of frailty flashed across her eyes."I live a safe life without any envy. There's nothing to worry about. Sir Li need not listen to the nonsense of Big Sister Yun Chun." The more you say that, the more certain I am that you really have something on your mind." Li Yuan was a handsome man, his aura was refined and refined, and looking concerned right now, it was easier for people to have a good impression of him, "In Ziling City, no matter what happens, I can more or less help."
"A bit busy."
"It's really nothing. Sir Li, don't worry about it. Your excellency must be here to drink some tea. My body is much better now, if not, I can make a pot of tea for your excellency."
"No need. Your body has not fully recovered yet. How could you work hard enough to make tea?"
"It's not a big deal. Actually, I know a bit about swimming, but I suddenly choked when I fell into the water. I'll be fine after two days of rest." With that, he led Li Yuan into the pavilion, "These tea sets are for my daily practice. Sir Li, please do not mind them."
"How could that be? Then I'll have to trouble Miss Ming Yin."
Ming Yin smiled faintly. Her smile was like a light flower on the water's surface, light and weak, causing one to unconsciously feel pity for her.
The more Li Yuan watched her making the tea, the more he felt that every movement was just right, pleasing to the eyes.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up Ming Yin's sleeves, revealing her slender white arms. However, there was a long wound on them, which looked extremely shocking.
Ming Yin hurriedly lowered her head to wrap her sleeve, but Li Yuan was able to see it clearly."Miss Ming Yin, is there a wound on your arm?"
Ming Yin quickly stood up, her expression becoming more and more flustered. She placed the tea cup in front of Li Yuan Yi and prepared to retreat, "Ming Yin is lacking in manners, please excuse me, Sir Li. The tea has already been brewed, I will not entertain you here anymore. I will take my leave first."
"Miss, please wait." Li Yuan immediately went forward to pull Ming Yin's arm, but Ming Yin retreated too quickly, he only had enough time to use his fingertips to brush against her sleeve.
Ming Yin left in a hurry, too flustered to notice that the handkerchief between her sleeves had fallen off.
The beauty had already left. Once Li Yuan finished his tea, he could only get up and leave. On the way, he bumped into Nan'er, who was helping to tidy up the plants in the garden. He could not help but give him a second glance.
Nan'er hurried forward to pay her respects, "Master, you can't find the way either? Ask me where you're going, and there's nothing in the garden I don't know."
"Oh? Do you recognize Ming Yin? "
"I naturally recognize elder sister Ming Yin. Are you here to visit her as well?" Big sister Ming Yin has been in a bad mood these past few days and has not met with anyone.
"Do you know why she is in a bad mood?" Isn't there some people who are jealous of big sister Ming Yin? They are secretly chewing on the root of their tongue! " Nan'er was especially indignant."Back then, it was all because of that Tan Wang [1] being rude to big sister Ming Yin. Big sister was on the verge of death, but they still refused to give up."
I chased out those people who were talking about it. However, big sister Ming Yin has always been meticulous in her plans, so I think that it will be difficult to forget."
"Who is this King Tan?"
"Sir, are you from Ziling City? I've never seen you here before. Don't tell me you're a travelling merchant?"
Li Yuan smiled, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it over, "You still haven't told me who King Tan is." Nan'er hurriedly put the silver back into her sleeves, looked around to see that there was no one around, then lowered her voice and said: "This Tan Wang Ba is the young master of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, Tan Ba Wang. This fellow framed us not long ago, and he even almost disregarded big sister Ming Yin.
If not, then elder sister Ming Yin will die from grief. The matter is already in the past, so please do not speak carelessly to prevent elder sister from feeling sad."
"What are you trying to say?" Nan'er was just about to speak when she heard a voice calling for him to bring water, and she hurriedly said to Li Yuan, "My lord, I'm going to be busy, if you're really curious, you can ask a teahouse. This matter caused a huge ruckus in Ziling City, and many people came here to take care of it.
Watching from the sidelines, you will understand the cause and effect if you ask around." With that, he ran off. Li Yuan was curious. After exiting the building, he found a teahouse and walked in. He wasted a bit of silver and got to know the reason from the teahouse waiter. When he thought of the scar on Ming Yin's hand, he could not help but feel his heart ache a little more."A beauty's really unfortunate."
Fortunately, Miss Ming Yin met me. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would be sad in the future.
Over the next few days, Li Yuan would go to the No Envy Pavilion to see Ming Yin everyday, but she avoided him most of the time. On this day, it was only because Manager Qin insisted on it, that Ming Yin entertained Li Yuan in the backyard.
"Lord, you really shouldn't have wasted your time on me." Ming Yin's expression was much colder, but there was bitterness in her eyes.
"Miss Ming Yin, I've been coming over continuously. You should understand what I mean. I've fallen in love with you at first sight. If you're interested in me, I can pay you silver taels and help you redeem yourself before leaving." "Thank you for your good intentions, but there's really no need for that. My life here is extremely good, and I have many sisters who can chat and have fun together. I'm not a canary, and I don't like living in the Golden Silk Cage either."
