Chapter 365 The Storm Stopped

And Yin Li has never been the protagonist in any story.

Hu Xin'er met Mu Qing first, and her heart and eyes were filled with him. No matter how good or outstanding others were, there was no room for anyone else in her heart.

There was a deep affection and seriousness in his eyes that he had never shown before, but he said it in a joking tone: "The story is over, I'll go get the book."

He stood up and left, and Hu Xiner dared to look at his back. His head full of white hair looked particularly cold under the warm firelight, and he really looked like an old man.

She bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

She knew that any action she took now would hurt Yin Li, because she loved Mu Qing deeply, which meant that Yin Li's sincerity, which she had worked so hard to give, would be betrayed again.

No one wanted this to happen, but it has happened.

Yin Li handed the medical book to Hu Xin'er: "Chapter 21 of this book records the method of curing Mu Qing."

Hu Xiner took the book, turned to that page, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Actually... you were planning to save Mu Qing from the beginning, right?"

Yin Li snorted coldly: "No!"

"Really?" Hu Xin'er shook the book in her hand. "Then how did you find the book so quickly? You even know which page the treatment method is on?"

Yin Li glared at her. "This Pavilion Master is ruthless and cruel. I wish he would die sooner, so how could I want to save him? If you weren't shamelessly kneeling outside the Pavilion, I would be sleeping soundly right now!"

Hu Xiner saw his arrogant look and knew that he was saying one thing and thinking another. She didn't expose his words and just said again, "Thank you."

Gouzi came bounding in: "Selling goods, selling goods, a set of clothes for five hundred taels, and a box of pregnancy-preserving medicine for one thousand taels!"

Yin Li hit him on the head with a fan: "Behave yourself!"

Seeing that neither of them had any intention of paying, Gouzi was so angry that he put the medicine on the table, dropped what he was holding and ran away, making faces as he ran: "Lululu, you have such a bad temper, no wonder you can't get a wife!"

Yin Li was ridiculed in front of her and was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but Hu Xin'er stopped her: "Hey, why are you always angry with children?"

The pregnancy-maintaining medicine on the table was steaming. Yin Li recalled the scene of Hu Xin'er kneeling in the rain just now and said unhappily, "Hurry up and drink the medicine and change your clothes. Otherwise, I have helped your Lu family so much, and you may not remember my kindness!"

Hu Xiner wanted to say something, but saw Yin Li turn around and leave.

She was stunned for a while before she changed her clothes and drank the medicine with a frown.

Dry and soft dresses are indeed much more comfortable to wear.

In fact, Yin Li is not as unkind as she appears to be.

His cynicism is just a way to hide his true feelings, for he is afraid that if he reveals them, they will not be taken seriously, which will hurt himself and make others embarrassed.

If he hadn't heard that Hu Xin'er was kicked out of the Lu family, his sincerity might have remained hidden.

His delicacy and gentleness are reflected in places that others cannot see.

After changing her clothes, Hu Xin'er hugged the nameless medical book tightly, looked around, and said tentatively: "Yin Li, am I leaving?"

After a while, Yin Li came out, covering his eyes: "I'm warning you, this Pavilion Master is a serious person, don't do anything that might cause misunderstanding."

Hu Xin'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I really have changed my clothes!"

Yin Li finally let go of his hand: "It's raining heavily outside, are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer?"

He then added, "I'm not trying to keep you here. I'm just worried that you'd die on the road, leaving two bodies and someone using it to slander the Wanjuan Pavilion!"

Hu Xiner nodded: "Yeah, I know."

She had a cold body and her lower abdomen was indeed a little painful at this time, which made her panic.

Yin Li realized something was wrong and nervously checked her pulse.

Fortunately, the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine worked, and Hu Xin'er was fine. He said angrily, "You, it's really unlucky for your child to be born in your belly!"

Hu Xin'er gently stroked her belly and sat back in the chair waiting for the rain to stop.

There was silence in the Wanjuan Pavilion for a while, with only the sound of burning flames.

Yin Li added a piece of wood and lowered her voice, "Actually, I don't like you that much. I'm just a little too lonely, so I always wanted to pester you. Maybe this is also a kind of trouble for you who already has a husband."

His voice was muffled: "Of course, what I am saying now may also be disturbing your life."

He has always been arrogant, and this is the first time he has spoken so humbly like today.

Hu Xiner felt distressed when she heard this and couldn't help but clutch the corner of her clothes tightly.

It is a blessing to be liked by others.

But she understood that one heart could not hold two people, and she was destined to let Yin Li down.

"Yin Li, thank you." She said very solemnly, "When Mu Qing recovers, I will thank you in person with him."

Yin Li knew that this was another rejection, although it was very tactful, it did not leave any possibility.

He suddenly hated Hu Xin'er's ruthlessness. She never seemed to have any lingering feelings for him, and never gave him any chance to think too much.

This also made him clearly realize that he had been wishful thinking from the beginning to the end, yet he was happy to do so.

Yin Li didn't look at her again, and silently fiddled with the firewood: "The wind and rain outside have stopped, you can go now."

The door opened and closed again.

Yin Li waved: "Dog!"

The dog quietly poked its head out and ran over.

He said earnestly, "Alas, a man's growth always requires failure in love. Don't be too sad."

Yin Li spread out his hands.

Gou Zi had no choice but to reluctantly hand over a purse and some loose silver coins to him.

This was the purse that Hu Xin'er had just dropped outside. He secretly picked it up, and now it fell into Yin Li's hands.

The rain came and went quickly. Hu Xiner returned home and handed the medical book to Old Man Dou.

After flipping through the nameless medical book, Old Man Dou suddenly realized, "With this book, Mu Qing's injury can be cured!"

He also chatted about some other things, the principle of which was probably the combination of internal force and medicinal treatment. Hu Xin'er didn't understand any of it, but she trusted Old Man Dou very much, so she let him do it with confidence.

Just as they were rejoicing, a servant suddenly came to report: "Young Madam, the Liu family's carriage has arrived again, and they want to invite you back!"

Hu Xin'er was about to refuse when Jiang Yao said, "If you were here, Mu'er wouldn't be able to rest in peace..."

In the end, in order for Mu Qing to recuperate in peace, Hu Xiner had no choice but to return to the Liu family.

Who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I saw the worried face of Old Master Liu.

He led Hu Xin'er into the house and said seriously, "Xin'er, there's something I must tell you!"
