Chapter 206

Completely Hooked

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, Lord 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 Yuanyi heard Yun Chun’s message, he first rejected it and then asked Yu Chun 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 privately .

Yun Chun lightly patted Ming Yin’s hand . “Little sister Ming Yin, you should have a good chat with Lord Li . Don’t worry too much about the rumors that are circulating, which will surely go away if it’s not valid .

Ming Yin couldn’t help but lower her head and gently bite her lower lip . Her expression became increasingly fragile as she said, “Big sister Yun Chun, you really shouldn’t …”

Yun Chun interrupted her by saying, “Lord Li, Yun Chun will be leaving first . ”

“Alright . ” After Yun Chun had retreated, Li Yuanyi looked at Ming Yin with great concern in his eyes . “Miss Ming Yin, how is your health?”

“Thank you for Lord Li’s concern . Nothing serious has happened . ”

Ming Yin lifted her head with a smile on her face, but a hint of fragility flashed across her eyes . “I live a safe life in Bu Xian Luo, and there’s nothing to worry about it . Lord Li need not listen to the nonsense of Big Sister Yun Chun . ”

“The more you say like that, the more certain I am that you really have something on your mind . ” Li Yuanyi was a handsome man, and his aura was unusually elegant . This time, when he makes a caring look, it makes people more likely to have a good impression of him, “In Jingling City, no matter what happens, I can help more or less . ”

“It’s really nothing that you need to worry about it, My Lord . Lord Li must be here to drink some tea in Bu Xian Luo . My body is much better now . If you want, I can make a pot of tea for you . ”

“No need . Your body has not fully recovered yet . How could you work to make the tea yourself?”

“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, she led Li Yuanyi into the pavilion, “These tea sets are for my daily practice . Lord 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 unconsciously to feel pity for her .

The more Li Yuanyi watched her making the tea, the more he felt that every movement was just right and 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 particularly shocking .

Ming Yin hurriedly lowered her head to wrap her sleeve, but Li Yuanyi was able to see it clearly . “Miss Ming Yin, is your arms hurt?”

Ming Yin quickly stood up, her expression becoming more and more flustered . She placed the teacup in front of Li Yuanyi and prepared to retreat, “Ming Yin lacked in manners . Please excuse me, My Lord . The tea has already brewed, so I will not entertain you here anymore . I will take my leave first . ”

“Miss, please wait . ” Li Yuanyi immediately went forward to pull Ming Yin’s arm, but Ming Yin retreated too quickly, and 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 silk handkerchief between her sleeves had fallen off .

Li Yuan stepped forward and picked up the silk handkerchief, only to see a piece of red embroidered on the silk handkerchief and four short poems: “The flowers bloom and the flowers fall in different ways . If you ask for love, it when the flowers bloom and fall . ”

The beauty had already left . Once Li Yuanyi finished his tea, he could only get up and leave . On the way, he bumped into Nan’er, who was trimming the plants in the garden and was helping people give directions . He could not help but give him a second glance .

Nan’er hurried forward to pay his respects, “Is My Lord can’t find the way either? You can ask me where you’re going to go . There’s nothing in the garden that I don’t know . ”

“Oh? Do you recognize Ming Yin?”

“I naturally recognize Big 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 . I’m afraid you’ll have to go there for nothing . ”

“Do you know why she is in a bad mood?”

“There some people who are jealous of big sister Ming Yin . They have secretly spread a rumor about Big Sister Ming Yin!” Nan’er was exceptionally indignant . “Back then, it was all because of that Tan Bawang being rude to Big Sister Ming Yin, and she was on the verge of death . However, they still do not give up . It seems that they will not give up until they forced her to die . Fortunately, Big Sister Ming Yin asks Shopkeeper Qin to drive out those people who spread the rumor . However, Big Sister Ming Yin has always been meticulous, so I think that she will be difficult to forget it for a while .

“Who is Tang Bawang that you were talking about earlier?”

“My Lord, Aren’t you from Jingling City? I’ve never seen you in Bu Xian Luo before . Don’t tell me you’re a traveling merchant?”

Li Yuanyi smiled, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and handed it over, “You still haven’t told me who Tang Bawang is . ” Nan’er hurriedly put the silver back into his sleeves, looked around to see that there was no one nearby, then lowered her voice and said: “This Tan Bawang is the young master of Cai Yue Pavilion . This fellow framed us, Bu Xian Luo, not long ago . He even almost belittled Big Sister Ming Yin . Fortunately, Lord Zhao was fair and impartial, and he disposed of Tan Bawang . If not, then Big Sister Ming Yin will die from sadness . 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 he heard a voice calling for him to bring water, and he hurriedly said to Li Yuan, “My lord, I’m going to be busy, if you’re really curious, you can find a teahouse or a tavern to ask about it . This matter caused a lot of commotion in Jingling City, and many people came here to watch from the sidelines . You will understand the cause and effect if you ask around . ” With that, he ran off .

Li Yuanyi was curious . After exiting Bu Xian Luo, he found a teahouse and walked in . He wasted a bit of silver and got to know the stories from the teahouse waiter . When he thought of the scar on Ming Yin’s hand, he could not help but feel more heartache for her . “It’s true that beauty is full of troubles . ”

Fortunately, Miss Ming Yin met me . Otherwise, I’m afraid she would be sad in the future .

Over the next few days, Li Yuanyi would go to Bu Xian Luo to see Ming Yin every day, but she avoided him most of the time . On this day, it was only because Shopkeeper Qin forced her that Ming Yin entertained Li Yuanyi in the backyard .

“My 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 come over here regularly . You must understand what I mean . I’ve fallen in love with you at first sight . If you’re interested in me, I can give silver taels to help you redeem yourself and leave Bu Xian Luo . ”

“Thank you for your good intentions, but there’s really no need for that . My life here is pretty 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 cage either . ”
