Wedding Dress

When Mu An Ning looked towards the entrance of Jishitang, a green figure appeared in her sight: "An, An Ning, cousin."

Mu An Ning looked at the man approaching slowly, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

This was the first time she met Tan Wenhuai after their engagement.

Su Nianci looked at the two people's similar clothes and felt that they matched each other more and more. She winked at Tan Wenhuai and said, "Ah Huai, if you have something to say to Ning'er, you should say it quickly."

After all, they were in a clinic and it was not convenient to talk, and Mu An Ning also had to write a prescription for the patient.

Seeing Tan Wenhuai nodding repeatedly, Su Nianci looked at Mu Anning again and said with a smile: "Ning'er, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back home first."

The purpose of her trip today was actually to check her own clinic.

Now that she saw that her good friend and Dr. Lu had arranged everything in order, she felt relieved.

Mu An Ning calmly withdrew his gaze from Tan Wenhuai and nodded to his friend: "Sister Su, please take care of yourself."

Su Nianci patted her hands, signaling her not to worry, then said hello to Doctor Lu and left the clinic.

Before the two of them could even open their mouths, they heard old Doctor Lu jokingly say, "Girl Mu, if you want to talk, go to the private room. Don't be so frivolous in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, even several patients in the clinic laughed out loud.

Mu An Ning's ears couldn't help but feel hot, and Tan Wenhuai was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head.

After the two of them hurried to the compartment and sat down, Mu An Ning looked at Tan Wenhuai who was afraid to look at her, and was in a dilemma for a moment.

Originally, they were just good friends, so she was naturally open and honest about it.

But now they were going to get married in a month, so naturally she felt no less uncomfortable than Tan Wenhuai.

"An, An Ning." Tan Wenhuai took several deep breaths before he mustered up the courage to speak.

Mu An Ning was thinking about how to start talking when he was brought back to his senses by Tan Wenhuai. He took out a few scrolls from his sleeves and slowly unfolded them.

"I came here today to ask you what style of wedding dress you like?" He said this and quickly lowered his head.

Wedding dress?

Mu An Ning calmed himself down and looked through the scrolls one by one. The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

She blinked and expressed her guess: "Could this... be drawn by you yourself?"

The painting is meticulously done, but there are some flaws in the details, and it doesn't look like it came from a ready-made clothing store.

Tan Wenhuai quickly glanced at his crush, pursed his lips and nodded.

In fact, he thought she would look good in any wedding dress.

If possible, he wanted to see her try on all five wedding dresses.

Mu An Ning's heart suddenly warmed up. She thought it was not her turn to make the decision on this matter.

At least, in the previous marriage, everything was decided by the elders of both families.

At this moment, she truly felt that she was going to get married.

Moreover, this feeling of being cared for seems... not bad.

Mu An Ning lowered her eyes and picked it up carefully. She could see that Tan Wenhuai had indeed put a lot of thought into it.

These wedding dresses have different styles, some are complicated and exquisite, while others are simple and elegant.

There is no woman who can make a decision instantly.

After all, this is a matter of life and death.

However, considering that Tan Wenhuai was still waiting for her to make a decision, she could only point to one of the less complicated wedding dresses and said, "This one is OK, Wenhuai...what do you think?"

She had never thought that one day she would discuss such matters with her future husband.

Hearing the girl calling his name, Tan Wenhuai was delighted and said seriously, "An Ning looks good in anything she wears."

Being stared at by those passionate yet not offensive eyes, Mu An Ning cleared his throat uncomfortably: "That's it."

Finally, the dust settled, and a smile spread across Tan Wenhuai's lips: "Okay."

Seeing that Tan Wenhuai had nothing to say, Mu Anning was about to stand up, but suddenly noticed the thin scar on his face: "What's wrong with your face?"

The scar was very similar to the scar that Gu Huaizhi had been hit by an arrow that day.

But Tan Wenhuai is a weak man and should never wield a sword or a gun, so how could he encounter such a thing?

Tan Wenhuai's face flashed with embarrassment, and he lowered his head and said, "No, nothing."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk much, Mu An Ning didn't ask any more questions. She just stood up and took a box of scar removal cream she made herself, and handed it to Tan Wenhuai: "If you haven't used the medicine yet, you can use this."

She smiled and said, "Take this medicine three times a day for three consecutive days, and you should be almost cured."

This box of scar cream is different from the ones she made before. It also contains the herbs recommended by Dr. Lu. It should be more effective than what she made herself before.

Tan Wenhuai was stunned for a moment, and just as he reached out to take it, Mu An Ning was called away by Doctor Lu.

He could only sit there and wait for the clinic to close, but he felt very happy in his heart, and even wanted to thank Gu Huaizhi.

However, he still couldn't figure out why Prince Gu gave him a sword.

*

If Mu An Ning were also here, he would definitely recognize this familiar woodshed.

[Dog system, please tell me. Where is my male protagonist? ]

Mu Wan'er, who was leaning against the wall, bit the cotton cloth in her mouth and closed her dark eyes tiredly.

This is already the third day since she was taken away, but there is no sign of the hero.

After hearing the system's answer, Mu Wan'er suddenly opened her eyes that had just been closed, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be able to burn people to death.

[No, what on earth does he want to do? Isn't the favorability level already normal? ]

Gu Yihan did not save her, but sent secret guards to observe in secret.

How can you torture your fiancée like this!

I don’t know how Mu Wan’er in the original novel could endure being kidnapped all day and teased by the male protagonist.

Just when Mu Wan'er was extremely angry, the door suddenly creaked open, and she was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes again.

The light footsteps of the person stopped in front of Mu Wan'er for a while before he slowly spoke: "Young Master, stop pretending."

It was an extremely beautiful female voice.

When Mu Wan'er heard this, her eyelids twitched involuntarily, but she still pretended to be asleep.

The woman chuckled softly, walked forward and lifted Mu Wan'er's chin: "If you keep pretending, you won't have lunch."

Mu Wan'er thought to herself that something was not good, but she insisted on playing the show to the end. After a while, she opened her eyes dazedly and met the woman's pair of foxy eyes with a tinge of lavender.

The woman raised her red lips slightly under her veil: "I knew the young master was hungry."

Mu Wan'er's eyes rolled around, feeling extremely puzzled.

[It's really strange that she came to bring me food in person today. ]

The woman glanced at the wooden bowl on the ground, then slowly reached out and pulled the cloth out of Mu Wan'er's mouth, but did not untie her.

Mu Wan'er took two deep breaths, then raised the corners of her lips flatteringly: "Beautiful sister, let me go."

[Shut up, dog system! ]

[I want to save myself, what can you do to me? Your male protagonist is really not reliable at all. ]

The woman stood up and took two steps back, seeming to seriously consider the feasibility of this statement. After a moment, she nodded and uttered two words: "Okay."

【There's hope! 】

Mu Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and the woman slowly squatted down and looked at her straight in the eyes.

"But..." the woman spoke again, and laughed meaningfully: "Young Master, you haven't told us who sent you here."

"Sister, I really was just passing by!" Mu Wan'er sighed helplessly, not afraid at all: "You can ask me a hundred times or a thousand times and the answer will be the same."

[Oh, I just want to collect some evidence and provide the hero with some information about the Liang Kingdom.]

【Hey, why don’t you count it as passing by? 】

The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mu Wan'er who suddenly remembered something: "By the way, beautiful sister. Tonight is May 15th, the night of the full moon?"

The woman's eyes sank slightly, and she nodded: "What?" In an instant, her expression returned to normal: "Young Master, are you in a hurry to see your lover?"

"No, no, no, I don't have a lover." Mu Wan'er shook her head repeatedly and began to persuade her: "Sister, just let me go!"

【May 15th, that will be easy.】

[When the poison of the snake attacks these two people, they won't have the energy to care about me. ]

The woman stared at Mu Wan'er's face, which was slightly gray but still pretty. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly asked in a daze: "Are your family members all right?" Mu Wan'er's chattering stopped instantly. She blinked curiously and said: "All right, all right."

[I almost forgot, I don’t have a little lover, but she does! ]

[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this couple! ]

The woman suddenly snorted coldly, her expression changed drastically, and before Mu Wan'er could react, she walked out the door.

"Hey, beautiful sister, you haven't put the cloth strip into my mouth yet!" Mu Wan'er spoke subconsciously.

She wanted to cry but had no tears: "No, just let me go!"

[Oh, forget it, let's escape tonight. If we don't succeed, we will die.]

*

As dusk approached, Mu An Ning turned his wrist, which was a little sore from writing, and glanced at the cubicle.

It seems that Tan Wenhuai hasn't left yet.

He...isn't waiting for her.

Just as she was thinking, a powerful voice suddenly came from outside -

"Everyone, come and have a look. This Jishitang has killed people!"

"My poor granddaughter was killed by their medicine!"

Hearing the noise outside, Mu An Ning and Doctor Lu looked at each other and stood up immediately.

Only when the two of them walked to the door did they see the scene outside.

An old man who looked to be over fifty years old and skinny was constantly greeting the people around him, who were gathered outside the gate of Jishitang.

There was a wooden board on the ground, covered with a piece of clean white cloth.

There seemed to be someone lying inside.

Mu An Ning's forehead jumped, and he heard the old man continue: "Everyone, please judge for yourself, my granddaughter really died with regrets!"

The people around who were watching the excitement also kept pointing and talking.

The old man's shrewd eyes turned and immediately noticed the two people standing at the door.

Before Mu An Ning could react, the old man walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and brought her to the white cloth: "It's this girl who caused this!"

Someone around was surprised and said, "I recognize her. She is the eldest daughter of the Chongde Marquis's Mansion who was mistakenly taken away."

"I recognize her, the prescription I took two days ago was written by her."

"These pampered young ladies should stop pretending to be nice. They even killed someone."

After standing still, Mu An Ning tried his best to calm down, but he couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the white cloth: "Old man, is this your granddaughter?"

As I got closer, a foul smell hit me in the face.

It really looks like a corpse.

When the old man said "yes" and was about to yell, Doctor Lu, frowning, hurried to Mu An Ning's side and said, "Please be patient. The old man said that your granddaughter used the medicine from Jishitang. Can you tell me which flavors it was?"

A trace of panic flashed across the eldest master's face, and he immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is it, this is your Jishitang's prescription."

When Dr. Lu reached out to take the prescription, they suddenly heard the sound of several unhurried horse hooves approaching them, causing the crowd around them to scatter.

The young man who was traveling with us grabbed the leader and whispered, "Master, the man on the horse looks like Prince Gu. Why don't we go back..."

No matter how much money they have or how noble their relatives are, they cannot afford to offend them.

The eldest master was startled at first, but then he calmed down and shouted, "So what if it's the prince! Even if the prince comes, it will be useless!"

He reached out his hand to wipe away his tears, shouting louder and louder, causing the rest of the people to look at him with sympathy.

"It's so unfair! Can the powerful people in this world destroy the lives of ordinary people like us?"
