Hearing this, Hong Yi stiffened for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lou Ming knocked Hong Yi to the ground.
"With your skills, you still want to marry my sister? Do you think you're worthy? I advise you to be sensible and leave my sister quickly. She deserves someone better. Besides, even if my sister remains unmarried all her life, I'm willing to support her for the rest of my life."
"I truly like Lian'er. I won't leave her," Hong Yi said with difficulty, covering his chest.
"Humph! How much is your so - called true love worth? You'd better take some time to ask your master about what happened between him and his wife. Then come and tell me. What makes you think you're truly in love?"
He just disliked Hong Yi and wanted to provoke him. After saying that, he ignored Hong Yi and turned away. He had to make good preparations. His fiancée was coming to the capital, and he had to treat her well.
Hong Yi didn't understand why everyone liked Mu Fengqie so much. Besides a little medical skill, what else did she know? She was simply unworthy of his master's noble status.
"From now on, you'll be the princess of our Tianlin Kingdom. Don't be afraid of anything. Our entire Tianlin Kingdom will be your strongest backing."
"Okay, thank you, uncle and aunt."
Mu Fengqie remembered what her uncle and aunt had said to her before she set off. It made her feel warm inside.
However, when she thought of her father and the other three elders in the valley being so reluctant to let her go, she got goosebumps all over.
In the past three years in the valley, they had always pestered her to study herbs. Sometimes, she couldn't even go out when she wanted to.
Now that she was going to attend the tri - country court meeting, they were extremely reluctant, as if they were afraid that she would never come back once she left.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" A three - year - old toddler asked curiously when he saw Mu Fengqie looking happy one moment and worried the next.
"I'm wondering if anything will happen during this court meeting," Mu Fengqie said, stroking the toddler's head. She had picked him up during a journey. After looking for his family for a long time without success, she decided to take him back and raise him.
She thought that since she wouldn't get married in the future and wouldn't have her own children, it would be nice to have such a child by her side. This child was very cute and everyone in the valley liked him. Moreover, he had good talent in learning medical skills.
"Master, don't be afraid. I'll protect you with Uncle at that time."
The Uncle the toddler mentioned was the son of the third elder. He was also a bit of a crazy person. Those who didn't know him well would definitely think he was a gentle and elegant man just by looking at his appearance.
But those who knew him well knew that he was a bit crazy. Mu Fengqie was once deceived by his appearance. It was only during a discussion that she discovered his true nature.
At that time, Mu Fengqie was completely speechless.
"Valley Master, we've arrived in the capital. Let's find a place to stay."
"Okay, you go and make the arrangements." She didn't have any special requirements for accommodation as long as it was livable.
"Zhu Fei, go and cover our tracks. Then find out what's been going on in the capital."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Mu Fengqie and her group came to a fairly good inn. Since they didn't want to attract attention, they all kept a low profile. People who saw them would think they were just tourists from outside the capital and wouldn't suspect anything.
By the time Zhu Fei came back, they had already finished unpacking.
"Master, here's what's happened in the capital in recent years." Zhu Fei was very efficient and quickly sorted out all the information and presented it to Mu Fengqie in a booklet.
"You haven't seen Lou Ming for a long time, right? How come you don't miss him at all? I've noticed that Lou Ming sends you letters every day."
These words made Zhu Fei blush.
"Alright, go and see him. I'm sure he's getting impatient. If you don't see him soon, he might come looking for you."
"Then, master, I'll be back soon." Zhu Fei left with a blushing face.
Zhu Yan looked at his younger sister. Sigh, she had finally been taken away by a 'pig'.
"Don't worry. Lou Ming is a good man. Zhu Fei will be happy," Mu Fengqie said, coming to Zhu Yan's side. Seeing his expression as if his sister had been taken advantage of, she couldn't help but comfort him.
"I can tell, but I'm just a bit reluctant all of a sudden. Although I've always said that I wanted her to get married soon, when it really comes to this day, I feel really bad."
"After all, I've raised her since she was a child. I've been like a father, a mother, and an elder brother to her. How can I rest assured about her life after she gets married?"
"Master, you know Zhu Fei's temper. She's so stubborn. I'm really afraid that they'll have conflicts in the future and Zhu Fei will be wronged."
"Sigh, you worry too much. Since you're not at ease, why don't you test Lou Ming more before they get married? If you think they're not suitable, we can talk about it then."
"You're right. Thank you for the reminder, master."
"By the way, when are you going to find a wife? Your sister is about to get married. You're not going to be single for the rest of your life, are you?"
Zhu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. His master was good in every way, but when she was free, she liked to worry about their marriage. All the disciples of the Pharmacist Valley who had reached a certain age would be asked about their marriage by the master.
The disciples of the Pharmacist Valley were suffering. They just wanted to study medicine quietly, but Mu Fengqie kept caring about their personal lives, which made them want to hide whenever they saw her.
So the disciples reported this matter to the elders. That was why the elders pestered Mu Fengqie every day, afraid that she would find trouble with the disciples when she was free.
If Mu Fengqie knew about this, she would definitely shout that she was wronged. She just wanted to care about the marriage of the younger generation. How could her good intentions turn out to be a bad thing?
All the disciples of the Pharmacist Valley: Hehe, thank you, Valley Master. We really don't need it.
"I'll talk about it after I see Zhu Fei get married. Actually, I'm still young and can wait for a few more years."
"Hehe... Then wait. When I have time, I'll introduce some girls to you and let you try to get along with them."
Actually, Mu Fengqie just wanted to be a matchmaker. She wanted to experience the fun of being a matchmaker.
"Sigh, master, actually there's no need. I'm really still young. Zhu Fei and I were born in the same year. I'm not in a hurry. Really, master, you don't need to worry about this."
