"If that's the case, then when the girl said she had an incurable disease, how could she be kidding?

How has it ever been nonsense and nonsense?”

When Liu Mingzhi heard Ren Qingrui's resentful tone, he still didn't understand.

The beauty is using that seemingly joking tone to express the pain of lovesickness to herself.

Liu Mingzhi held the tobacco pouch tightly in his hand and remained silent for a long time, his eyes looking straight at Ren Qingrui's bright and affectionate eyes, full of resentment.

I don’t know what Liu Mingzhi was thinking when he was silent for so long just now.

At this time, he no longer deliberately avoided Ren Qingrui's gaze.

The two looked at each other for a while, speechless.

Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's bright eyes with complicated eyes, at the light mist that had gathered quietly at some point, and sighed melancholy.

"Alas~"

Thousands of words that I wanted to say in my heart were all turned into this sigh.

Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted the beautiful woman's shoulder, walked a few steps, leaned over and picked up Ren Qingrui's medicine basket in his hand.

"Girl, let's talk about other things later.

Now you'd better continue to tell me what you were doing with this medicine basket on your back.

You're not really sick, are you?

Please answer honestly as a brother, no more jokes are allowed."

Liu Mingzhi didn't deliberately avoid anything anymore, and started talking about the topics that the two of them had not finished talking about before.

He was still quite concerned about what Ren Qingrui was doing carrying the medicine basket.

I could tell from Ren Qingrui's face that she didn't seem to be sick, it was just my ordinary judgment and guess.

But after all, I am not a real doctor, and I don’t know the art of looking, hearing, asking, and understanding.

If Ren Qingrui is really feeling unwell, it would be better to ask for information as early as possible.

When Ren Qingrui heard Young Master Liu's inquiry, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes a few times, then walked towards Young Master Liu with swaying steps.

"Da Guoguo, don't worry, my sister, I'm not sick."

Liu Mingzhi's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief with a soothing expression. He looked at Ren Qingrui walking towards him, and raised the medicine basket in his hand to signal.

"As long as you are not sick, you will be fine. If you are not sick, you will be fine.

So what are you doing?"

Ren Qingrui slowly stopped in front of Young Master Liu and raised her hand towards the medicine basket.

Ren Qingrui gently grabbed a handful of fresh herbs and handed them to Young Master Liu, waving them a few times.

"My sister went up the mountain to get herbal medicine."

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the herbs in the beauty's hand in astonishment, and looked at the beauty with doubtful eyes.

"What, you went up the mountain to get herbal medicine?"

Ren Qingrui tapped her head a few times, put the herbs in her hand back into the medicine basket, raised her hands and gently patted the soil in her palms.

"Yes, I went up the mountain to collect herbs."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui's plain expression and lowered his head to look into the medicine basket.

As expected, the medicine basket contained a variety of fresh herbs.

Liu Mingzhi could still recognize several of the herbs and knew their effects.

As for the remaining ones, they just look familiar to me, but I don't understand their names and functions at all.

Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes and looked at the beauty with a strange expression.

"No, I remember, girl, you seem to be quite rich.

Not to mention the banknotes and half-packaged gold and silver jewelry you showed me in the study after you accidentally arrived at my house when we first met in Northern Xinjiang.

Just say that the money you earned during your years in the capital was enough for you to spend three to five years.

Moreover, when you left Beijing last year, as a brother, I gave you some travel expenses as a gift.

Those tolls are just tolls, but they are enough to last you a year and a half.

All that money together is enough for you to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.

How come in just over a year, girl, you have been reduced to making a living by collecting herbs in the mountains?

Did something happen this year that made you cash-strapped?

That’s not the case!

No matter what happens, you still have your father, Ren Wenyue!

Although when your father was an official in the capital, the rich family property he accumulated was confiscated by the imperial court.

However, he had been a land official for so many years and was able to accumulate some good family property.

As long as your father is here, girl, you will be short of money no matter how hard you are.

You won’t be reduced to making a living by going to the mountains to collect herbs.”

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Young Master Liu's face, Ren Qingrui pursed her lips and snorted, then snatched the medicine basket from Young Master Liu's hand into her own hand.

"Hmph, who said that if you go to the mountains to collect herbs, you must rely on collecting herbs to make a living.

Don’t you like it personally?”

"Ah? What? What do you mean?"

“When a person is idle, he always feels bored.

I can't help but think of someone who has no conscience.

As time passed, I found something to do to pass the time.

But my sister, I have no other talents, and I don’t know what to do for a while.

Then I met a sister who was about the same age as me, and she was treating Wenbian's illnesses in her old man's medicine shop.

On a whim, he taught himself medical skills. ;

Then."

As Ren Qingrui spoke, she reached out and patted the medicine basket in her hand.

"Now, that's it."

After listening to Ren Qingrui's explanation, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression.

“So that’s it, for my brother’s sake, I thought you, girl…

It’s nothing, nothing, I just got distracted.”

Just when Ren Qingrui was about to open his mouth to answer something, a horse riding past the two of them passed by, raising waves of smoke and dust.

Ren Qingrui raised her hand to fan the smoke in front of her, then stuffed the medicine basket in her hand into Young Master Liu's arms.
