Mu Lingwei personally welcomed Yan Qi into the side hall.
"It's noisy in the living room, so I invited the young master to come to the side hall. Mr. Yan, are you here because of your father's illness?" she said in greeting.
Yan Qi was full of apologies and didn't know how to speak. The Yan family had always treated people with integrity, but this time, he broke his trust with her.
Yan Qi was thinking about something and asked, "How does the princess know?"
Mu Lingwei was slightly stunned. Seeing that he was absent-minded, she added: "Since your father refused to sell me grain, I think Mr. Yan's visit again must be related to your father's illness."
Yan Qi didn't respond in time again.
Zhen'er stood aside respectfully. Seeing that the princess and Yan Qi were both a little embarrassed, he appropriately added hot tea to Yan Qi and Boss Mu: "Master, please have some tea."
"Thank you." Yan Qi knew he was in the wrong, so he kept silent and kept drinking tea.
Mu Lingwei also watched quietly. Yan Qi lost his composure again and again. It seemed that he had done a long time of psychological preparation before stepping into the palace gate again!
From the first time she met him, she knew that Yan Qi was a filial son. From the second time she met him, she felt that Yan Qi was a passionate young man who punished evil and promoted good.
This time, he must be very conflicted in his heart. Yan Li has his own considerations. Yan Qi is also an adult, has independent thinking and can distinguish right from wrong.
In fact, he also listened to many conversations between Boss Mu and his father, and he even went to inquire about King Anyang.
The war between Longyuan Kingdom and Tianqi Kingdom was in full swing. He led his troops to fight, and no one had a bad word to say about King Anyang.
For the first time, the imperial court wanted to go to war, but the people still supported the war. He found it very strange. His father had always said that the war would cause the people to suffer terribly, but the people still supported the war, which made him even more surprised.
King Anyang had been seriously ill for many years, and the first thing he did after he recovered was to go to war, which was also strange.
He has been doing business with his father since he was a child, and he has been well clothed and well-fed. He has never been exposed to cold or poverty. He has seen countless poor people, but they are businessmen. He can only save them temporary food and clothing, but cannot save them a lifetime of peace. This is what his father often
Words on your lips.
My father once said that Long Yuanguo only had a few years left, but now Long Yuanguo seems to be full of life again.
Even that day, he saw with his own eyes that Mu Lingwei was in a mess, speaking like a lotus flower in front of those officials, and put herself in danger, pleading for the people every word.
He felt that she was just a weak woman, but she stood in the crowd with a radiant body and a scorching gaze.
All these things together in Yan Qi's heart are not as important as his father's life. His father is a big mountain in the Yan family. Even if his uncle wants to snatch the right to head the Yan family, he is not afraid at all. The only thing he fears is his father's life and death.
As for my father, he often felt pity for the poor people, because there were too many corrupt officials, because they loved power and did not care about the lives and deaths of the people, so my father would not help the court buy food.
He has admired his father since he was a child and thinks that he is an upright man, so he also wants to be a man.
He admires women like Mu Lingwei who are not afraid of powerful people. He feels that men should not be inferior to women.
None of them knew what Yan Qi was thinking, let alone the reason why he lost his temper today.
So, Yan Qi suddenly wanted to test Mu Lingwei again, and said: "Doctor Mu, can you go and treat my father again? I don't know what happened. He was fine during the three days you treated him.
, now it’s not good again.”
Mu Lingwei answered naturally: "Can he get up?"
"He could still get up when you were here, but since you didn't give him acupuncture, it's hard for him to get up." Yan Qi's answer was indeed true.
"Have you taken the medicine I left for him? If it hurts, give him some painkillers. It can relieve the pain. The wound needs to heal slowly, there is no need to rush." She also had sincere eyes.
Yan Qi nodded, "I followed the girl's doctor's advice, but it still hurts. My father is old and I don't want him to suffer."
At this time, her voice suddenly became cold, but her face was calm and calm. A friendly smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and she repeated her words again: "I will continue to treat him after I have finished my work at home. He
Don't stop taking the medicine, the wound will recover slowly, but the process will be slower. Even if you can't get out of bed, Mr. Yan still has to clear the meridians for Mr. Yan, and the care must be done well."
At this time, the conversation between the two was a bit nonsensical, but it didn't make anyone feel weird. She already knew Yan Qi's intentions.
A trace of surprise also flashed in Yan Qi's eyes, but he quickly hid it and said: "That's great."
Immediately afterwards, his expression suddenly became a little sluggish, his eyes were full of embarrassment, and he said in a deep voice: "Princess, to be honest, my father has not agreed to help you buy food, so my persuasion is useless."
Mu Lingwei still smiled and nodded.
With a bitter look on his face, he added: "No one dares to mess with the Yan family's business without my father's consent. I'm sorry, I broke my promise, but I came here today because I really want to beg you. No matter how much money I need as reward,
I hope my father won’t suffer anymore, can you..."
"Yes." Mu Lingwei said solemnly.
Yan Qi was stunned again, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She said: "I can. Even if your father doesn't help us buy food, I can still do my best to heal him. Mr. Yan doesn't need to test me."
Yan Qi blushed a little, "Miss Mu, you..."
Mu Lingwei said: "Actually, you think that I treated him for three days and ignored him on purpose. You think that I will use this to coerce you to sell food to me to achieve my purpose. This is the most effective way."
Method, actually, you are still testing me, you want to know if I will use this as a bargaining chip when your father's condition worsens."
Yan Qi's pupils widened and his face turned redder.
He thought she would be angry because he didn't keep his promise, but even so, she promised to continue treating his father.
Or, she might be trying to stall and make her father compromise.
It turns out that she knew all this.
He chuckled, feeling that he was really no match for her. For a woman who dared to put herself in danger and had such an exquisite mind, she had already seen through everything.
He finally compromised and said: "Actually, I have discussed with my father about the business. My father said he is willing to help, but the quantity may not meet the princess's requirements."
Mu Lingwei smiled, not surprised at all, looked at Boss Mu and said, "Uncle, I chatted with Master Yan for three days. This is my purpose."
Boss Mu also knew what Mu Lingwei was planning. He didn't mention buying food these days. He kept talking about their experiences outside and what he saw and heard. These were all things he told Mu Lingwei.
.
She once told Mr. Mu: If Lord Yan can pity small traders like them, he will naturally sympathize with the sufferings of the people.
Boss Mu smiled, "Weier is still thoughtful and far-sighted, and Master Yan is also admirable."
Yan Qi was stunned. He thought he had convinced his father. It turned out that Mu Lingwei knew his father's character well and allowed Boss Mu to approach his father. His father was naturally moved after hearing this.
He looked at Boss Mu again. He was just a small vendor, and suddenly he caught his father's eye.
