Chen Qingxuan was startled. He was not frightened by what Zhong Mingwei said, but he was shocked that Zhong Mingwei would reveal his identity to him. He took a deep breath, then exhaled silently, looking at Zhong Mingwei in confusion: "Why are you telling me this?"
"You have guessed it. If I still refuse to tell you, we will just have to keep playing dumb in the future. It's too tiring. Besides, it will save you from being so cautious and secretive in the future," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile. He picked up the medicine bowl on the table and handed it to Chen Qingxuan, "Drink it. Mr. Gu has just prepared a tonic for you. He said that you have been overworked recently and have been worried and tired. He also prescribed a few medicines for you. Take them with you when you go home."
Zhong Mingwei could say these words to Chen Qingxuan. He really regarded him as his own. Chen Qingxuan also knew it very well, and a surge of gratitude suddenly surged in his heart. He took the medicine bowl with both hands and said respectfully to Zhong Mingwei: "Thank you for your trust, Master. Qingxuan is very grateful."
"Hurry up and drink," Zhong Mingwei said, standing up. He walked a few steps towards the door, then suddenly stopped and turned to Chen Qingxuan, "I'll go to the front yard to take a look. When you get up, go to the study. I heard that you are good at chess, so it's a good opportunity for you to play a few games with the old master."
"Yes, thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Chen Qingxuan became excited again. He gulped down the medicine in two or three gulps, put on his shoes in a hurry, tidied his clothes, and hurried out the door.
"This kid actually has such an impatient side sometimes." Zhong Mingwei looked at his back and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He and Chen Qingxuan have known each other for quite some time and he always thought that Chen Qingxuan was the most stable person. He didn't expect that Chen Qingxuan had such a side. While sighing at Ding Yunwen's charm, he hurried to the front yard, where Meiya and Xiao An were stewing spare ribs and were planning to steam flower rolls directly on the soup. He was already too hungry before dinner and had to go to the front yard to steal some food.

October 22, 1934
Ningguta.
The prefectural government office.
Fu Jiaheng has been idle for nearly a month. He came to Ningguta on the 16th of last month. In the first few days, Fang Chengyin took him around to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers. However, since the day he gave Fang Chengyin a gold and jade bracelet in Zhenweizhai, Fang Chengyin never paid any attention to him again. Moreover, he has hardly seen Fang Chengyin since that day. There were a few times when he was really bored and went to the backyard to find Fang Chengyin, thinking of going out for a walk together to relieve boredom, but the maid said that the young lady was not at home. Anyway, no matter when they went, Fang Chengyin would not be there. Fu Jiaheng thought Fang Chengyin was angry with him at first, but later he really discovered that Fang Chengyin was really not at home. But where did that little girl go?
Fu Jiaheng looked at the heavy snow outside the window with depression, his eyebrows were furrowed with worry.
No, he must stop Fang Chengyin today!
He wanted to ask this little girl in person why she wrote a letter begging him to come to Ningguta, but he was treated like this after arriving!
snort!
Fu Jiaheng immediately put on the white fox cloak and hat, then lifted the curtain and left the room.
"Mr. Fu, where are you going?" Song Duancai came over and saw Fu Jiaheng rushing out aggressively. He hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile, "Mr. Fu, the master said that he wants to have dinner with you tonight. I am here to invite you to come over."
"What a coincidence! I've already had dinner," Fu Jiaheng said with a look of regret. "Guard Song, please tell Uncle Fang that I will have dinner with him tomorrow."
