Zhu Yan chased after Mu Fengqie and tried to persuade her to change her mind.
The next day, Mu Fengqie went strolling on the street with a veil on. According to the information Zhu Fei had given her yesterday, the new emperor, Yuan Yuchuan, had ascended the throne this year. The Lou family had fallen from power. Yuan Yuhan had been enfeoffed as the Regent King, and Jing Xunce as the Marquis of Zhongning.
As she was walking, suddenly someone bumped into her. "Sorry, sorry. Are you all right, miss?"
Mu Fengqie saw that it was Lady Shen, her foster mother.
"I'm fine, foster mother."
Lady Shen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this address. She looked at Mu Fengqie in disbelief. "You... You are..."
"Yes, it's me, foster mother. I'm Fengqie."
Tears welled up in Lady Shen's eyes instantly. "Is it really you?"
"Yes, it's really me. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's find a place and have a good chat."
"Sure, sure, sure. Come to my place. We all miss you so much. Where have you been all these years, child? You didn't even send us a message. Do you know how worried we were?"
"Okay, it's my fault. I won't do it again."
"Master, come and see who's back!"
"Who is it? Is it that naughty girl Yiru? She couldn't stay out any longer and came back. I knew it..."
"You... You... Fengqie?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Oh, where have you been all these years? We were so worried about you."
"I've been living with my biological father all these years. He's the master of the Pharmacist Valley."
"I see. As long as you've been doing well, that's good. Hahaha..."
"Not bad, not bad. You haven't lost weight. I'm relieved."
Mu Fengqie scoffed inwardly and thought to herself, how could she lose weight? Her father measured her waistline every day. Once she lost weight, he would try to fatten her up by three sizes. So she never dared to lose weight in the Pharmacist Valley.
"By the way, where's Yiru? Why haven't I seen her?"
"Humph, don't mention that naughty girl."
Lady Shen glared at Lord Shen and then took Mu Fengqie's hand and told her about Shen Yiru.
"I never thought that Yiru would like that Lou Xingzhou so much that she actually eloped with him."
"I wonder if they're living well."
"Don't worry, foster mother. When I get back, I'll send someone to look for them. As soon as I get any news, I'll let you know."
"Sigh, with your words, I'm relieved."
Mu Fengqie stayed in the Shen Mansion for a long time before leaving.
"Master, I seem to have seen the mistress on the street today." Mu Nan took Lu Yun to the street to buy things today. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a person with a figure similar to the mistress.
He felt that there were secret guards around that person, so he didn't go over rashly. He just told Jing Xunce as soon as he came back from outside.
"Where did you see her?" Jing Xunce stood up excitedly. Was Qie'er finally willing to show up? This time he wouldn't let her go again.
"On the main street in the capital. But there were a lot of secret guards around that woman, so I didn't act rashly."
"I see. You take me there again tomorrow." His Qie'er...
"Yes."
The next day, Jing Xunce took his men to the street and waited for a whole day but didn't see the woman with a figure similar to Mu Fengqie.
Jing Xunce went back dejectedly. Maybe Mu Nan was wrong. That person wasn't his Qie'er, which was why he didn't see her.
Meanwhile, Mu Fengqie, who had made Jing Xunce wait outside for a whole day, was being pestered by her senior brother with questions in the inn. This was Zhu Yan's idea.
If they wanted their master not to worry about their marriage, they had to keep the master busy. Fortunately, Young Master Hao had come with them this time. Otherwise, he might really not be able to escape the fate of being introduced to girls.
They didn't know who had influenced their master to be a matchmaker. It was really hard for the people in the Pharmacist Valley.
"Senior brother, you've been pestering me for a whole day. Let me take a break. I have to attend the assembly of the three kingdoms tomorrow."
The senior brother looked at the sky. "Okay, it's getting late. Go to bed early, junior sister. We'll continue the discussion when you come back tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye, senior brother." Please don't come again. She didn't want to discuss at all. Although she was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, she couldn't stand being pestered with questions like this.
The next day, Mu Fengqie attended the assembly of the three kingdoms with the baby.
"The monarch of the Nanqing Kingdom arrives!"
"The princess of the Tianlin Kingdom and the master of the Pharmacist Valley arrive!"
Yuan Yuhan looked at A Ru. Wasn't the princess of the Tianlin Kingdom in his arms? Who was this princess of the Tianlin Kingdom? A newly - enfeoffed one?
When they heard the announcement of the princess of the Tianlin Kingdom and the master of the Pharmacist Valley, A Ru and Jing Xunce both stood up excitedly. They looked at the door excitedly.
Slowly, a magnificent and gorgeous woman walked in. She had delicate features and a graceful figure.
"The princess of the Tianlin Kingdom and the master of the Pharmacist Valley, Mu Fengqie, pays respects to the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty. May the emperor have all things go smoothly."
"Hahaha... Rise." Yuan Yuchuan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Mu Fengqie to have such an identity and to attend the assembly of the three kingdoms with this identity.
"Fengqie, long time no see. I didn't expect you to attend on behalf of the Tianlin Kingdom. Why don't you think about our Nanqing Kingdom? After all, I'm your elder brother."
"Don't be silly. You're an adopted elder brother, not a real one." Mu Fengqie exposed him expressionlessly.
The ministers of the Qin Dynasty were shocked when they heard their conversation. They didn't expect Mu Fengqie to have so many identities.
The most shocked one here was Hong Yi. At first, he always thought that Mu Fengqie was just a country woman and not worthy of his master. He didn't expect her to have so many identities, and each one was more noble than the last. It was his mistake. He was sorry for his master. If it weren't for him, Mu Fengqie might not have left his master.
"Qie'er." Jing Xunce couldn't wait to walk to Mu Fengqie's side and hugged her tightly.
His Qie'er was finally back.
"Qie'er, I miss you so much."
Mu Fengqie pushed Jing Xunce away expressionlessly. "Marquis of Zhongning, please respect yourself. We're not familiar with each other now."
Jing Xunce watched Mu Fengqie return to her seat with a cold face after pushing him away.
Why was this happening? Why did Qie'er say such things? Could it be that she hadn't heard about what had happened in these years? It must be. Otherwise, his Qie'er wouldn't have pushed him away like this.
"Qie'er, listen to my explanation..." Before Jing Xunce could finish his words, he was blocked back by the guard beside Mu Fengqie.
"Marquis of Zhongning, please respect yourself. Our master said she doesn't know you. Please don't disturb our master's pleasure."
Before they left, Master Zhu Yan had specifically told them to take good care of their master. They couldn't let others disturb her, or they would be in trouble.
