Chapter 13 Chapter 13 I want to take care of you and stay with you.

"What time is it?"

Mu Xi answered him softly. Han Yinfeng was startled and asked her, "My lady, why haven't you gone to school yet? Is it because of me..."

"No." Mu Xi interrupted his self-blame lightly, "The rain is still falling, and a section of the road has collapsed. The way to town is unsafe. Xing'er came and told me that the headmaster had a way to let the students know one by one that they would not be going to the school today."

Han Yinfeng nodded slightly, and Mu Xi asked him what he wanted to eat.

He didn't want to eat anything and had no appetite, but when he saw a piece of clothing flash by the window, he blinked and said he wanted to drink some porridge.

Mu Xi responded and asked him to have a good rest and wait for her for a while.

Han Yinfeng thanked her weakly and looked at her hesitantly.

After Mu Xi left, Han Yinfeng's expression suddenly changed when he heard her busying herself in the kitchen. The next moment, a person flashed in from the window.

"Young Master..."

Ying Zhang had previously thought that his master was pretending to be sick just to gain Mu Xi's trust and get what he wanted, but after seeing his expression clearly, he realized that the illness did not seem to be fake.

"Sir, are you really sick?"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Although Han Yinfeng was feeling unwell, he could hear Mu Xi busy in the kitchen. Even so, he was still worried that Ying Zhang would be discovered.

Ying Zhang lowered his head and said softly, "Master Ji has discovered that someone is leading him in the wrong direction, and he's also found more clues. Although we've heard that he hasn't yet headed towards Luan County, but..." He was silent for a moment, then knelt with a thud, his clothes kicking up dust. "It's my incompetence."

"In your opinion, do you think Ji Lian is also misleading you? But in fact, he already knows where he should go?"

"...Yes." Ying Zhang lowered his head even more, looking as if he was sincerely admitting his mistake.

"I understand. Go ahead."

Han Yinfeng's face was gloomy. This pair of lovers was in a difficult situation.

Mu Xi, who couldn't find what he wanted here, and she refused to budge. Ji Lian, who initially thought he was just a superficial, well-off young man raised under his mother's protection, immune to worldly suffering, realized something was amiss so quickly.

Ji Lian and Mu Xi cannot meet.

If Mu Xi knew that all the remaining members of the Mu family were protected by Ji Lian in Wu Yue Tower, if Mu Xi knew that she had a fiancé who had been looking for her, and if their feelings quickly heated up after they met, then it would be even more impossible for him to get anything from Mu Xi.

When Feiming Valley was destroyed overnight, Wuyue Tower originally sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers, with no intention of taking action, but later for some reason it took in those who survived.

Han Yinfeng, like his mother, thought that they were the ones behind the scenes. After all, if someone from Feiming Valley was stranded outside and was won over by others, the only person who would benefit would be replaced.

Later, they realized they were wrong. It was simply the pedantic young master of the Ji family who felt that with a marriage contract in hand, even though his fiancée had passed away, he had a responsibility to protect her family, friends, and even her servants. He fell out with his parents over this decision, but his mother and father doted on him to the extreme, and in the end, they just let him do what he wanted.

Han Yinfeng and others had no way of knowing whether those people had done any favors for Wu Yue Tower, but for the past ten years, Ji Lian had been holding the title of the fiancé of the Young Master of Feiming Valley, and had no intention of discussing marriage with other forces.

Until now, people in the martial arts world believed that Wu Yue Tower and Fei Ming Valley were one and the same, just because of Ji Lian, even though there were actually only a few people left in Fei Ming Valley.

What an enviable and jealous life.

Especially when Han Yinfeng thought about the fact that Ji Lian had now taken over Wu Yue Tower from his mother in a legitimate manner, he felt that life was really unfair. Why did he have a marriage with a man of equal social status before he was even born? The marriage was not completed, and there was no woman to control the overall situation, but he could still be supported by his mother and father to inherit the family business.

He could only endure all the pain in the world, gaining nothing, and now he has fallen to such a state where his life is coming to an end...

Han Yinfeng closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress the violent anger in his heart. As soon as he opened his eyes, Mu Xi pushed the door open and walked in. He immediately turned his eyes to look at her with a gentle and warm look.

It's a pity that this is often the case when I'm with Mu Xi, like flirting with a blind man.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lady."

"It's okay." Mu Xi handed Han Yinfeng a small bowl of porridge and a spoon.

Because she can only use one hand, and her left hand is not her dominant hand, it is not very convenient for her to do anything.

Han Yinfeng felt a little relieved when he thought about how Mu Xi still cooked porridge for him even though he was in this state.

"Try it and see if it's hot. If it is, let it sit for a while before drinking."

Han Yinfeng hummed softly, and rain mixed with moisture rushed into the house. Mu Xi got up to close the window.

Turning around, I saw Han Yinfeng drinking porridge spoonfully with his head down. I wanted to ask him how it tasted, but then I thought it probably didn't taste like anything, so I simply didn't ask.

"Take the medicine again tonight and see how you feel. There's no doctor in the village. Wait until the rain stops and the road is clear, then go to town and see a doctor."

"No need." Han Yinfeng raised his dark eyelashes, looked at Mu Xi and said, "It's nothing, just a cold, it will be fine soon, my lady, don't worry about me." After that, he asked, "Did you keep those herbs with you all the time?"

The room where Mu Xi originally lived was the one he lived in now. Han Yinfeng remembered that when Mu Xi moved to her adoptive mother's room, she didn't take many things with her.

The bedding and pillows he was using now were all Mu Xi's. He had searched the house thoroughly but found no useful clues.

Han Yinfeng also searched Mu Xi's adoptive mother's room when he was away.

They also searched the kitchen and the woodshed, leaving no place unsearched.

Han Yinfeng was confident that he knew what was in the house better than Mu Xi, so he knew that there were no medicinal herbs in the house originally. Mu Xi's injury was just some ointment applied when changing the gauze. The ointment was in a small porcelain bottle and the formula was very ordinary. Han Yinfeng could make a better one.

So is there any place in this house that he doesn't know about? If so, maybe that thing was also hidden in the same place by Mu Xi.

it is a pity--

"No." Mu Xi broke Han Yinfeng's fantasy as soon as she spoke. She said, "It wasn't me who prepared for a rainy day. It was Xing'er and her brother. After I found out you had a fever, I went to their house. Qin Li always gets sick when the seasons change, and they always have herbs and prescriptions for treating colds at home."

Han Yinfeng felt sad, but he put on a fake smile and said, "Is that so? When I recover, I will go and thank Master Qin."

"You should recover first."

Han Yinfeng once again confirmed that there was nothing in this house that he didn't know about.

The things inside his body not only affected his kung fu, but also made him weak and sick. He couldn't wait any longer.

It is unknown when Ji Lian will arrive. Now is a time of internal and external troubles, so we have to think of a special solution.

"what's on your mind?"

Han Yinfeng came back to his senses and met Mu Xi's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes immediately turned red. He wiped his nose and said, "Nothing."

He took the opportunity to pause in silence and whispered, "I'm just sick...feeling uncomfortable." He choked up a bit, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for my wife. You're injured, but you're running around for me."

"I need to eat too." Mu Xi had just finished speaking when Han Yinfeng spoke again, gently holding her hand, "Madam, can you please not chase me away?"

It was raining heavily outside, and the sound of rain was incessant, which matched the mood Han Yinfeng was expressing at the moment very well.

"I didn't drive you away."

"I mean, let me stay with you for a month. I want to take care of you and be with you."

Before Mu Xi could say anything, Han Yinfeng's lines came out one after another.

"No one in this world will treat me better than my wife. I will serve you with all my heart. I want to be with my wife."

Mu Xi: “…”

Forget it. She thought that when people are sick, their emotions tend to fluctuate greatly. Besides, Han Yinfeng is still running a fever, so it is understandable that he is talking nonsense.

Mu Xi was sure that when he recovered from his illness and regained consciousness, he would think back on this situation and would feel so embarrassed that he would want to look for holes in the ground.

She thought again, Han Yinfeng actually didn't eat much, and although his cooking skills were average, he had expressed his desire to stay so many times, so he probably had nowhere else to go.

Even if Mu Xi saw the secret that he had not yet revealed to her...if that secret had nothing to do with her and was harmless, it would be fine not to tell her.

But……

Once you agree to this request and the other party gets a positive response, it's like taking a big step towards an important decision in life.

Although Mu Xi believed that Han Yinfeng would definitely leave here and go somewhere else one day in the future, once she agreed to let this person stay and live with him, it meant that her life would usher in an absolute earth-shaking change.

Taking this step seems simple now, but once she takes this step, when the other person is about to leave, she may feel a long-lost sadness.

Silence represented Mu Xi's decision. Han Yinfeng's eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the shadows under his eyes.

She really didn't believe it at all.

I can't impress her at all, so what kind of man can make her heart move? Someone like Ji Lian?

A hint of blood surged in Han Yinfeng's throat. He swallowed it back, lowered his head and sobbed. Suddenly, he felt a little weight falling on his shoulders. He looked up and saw Mu Xi's compassionate eyes.

"You're thinking about this now because you're sick. Take care of yourself first and stop overthinking."

Han Yinfeng moved his lips, but before he could say anything, he heard someone coming outside.

Mu Xi went out and came back with a lunch box a few moments later, saying that it was sent by Qin Li.
