Qin Mufeng's eyes looked at her in confusion for a moment, and his brain barely regained some clarity.

After seeing clearly what he had done, his heart could be described as thunder rolling from the sky.

"Feel sorry."

As he spoke, he let go of the warm-smelling nephrite in his arms with some regret.

Yun Xi didn't say anything, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

To be honest, she didn't expect that the other party could regain his senses so quickly. The shock just now made her realize the situation of huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves.

She gave up on jumping repeatedly on the verge of death and took out the needle pack without waiting for him to say anything.

"Ahem, um...sit down."

Qin Mufeng endured so much hardship that for a moment he even had the idea that he didn't want to endure it.

He didn't know if the desire in his blood affected his feelings. At that moment, he felt that he had found the same impulse in her body as that night.

If it's not an illusion...

Qin Mufeng didn't have time to think about it, as gold-tailed silver needles pierced his flesh one after another.

As time passes, the boiling blood begins to cool down.

Qin Mufeng's rationality quickly returned, and his eyes gradually returned to their original clarity.

Yun Xi's desire to die began to resurface again, and she was ready to take action. The opportunity was rare, and it would be a waste not to spend some money.

"Qin Mufeng, after all, I have saved your life this time. It shouldn't be too much to ask for some benefits, right?"

"Save me? You are saving yourself at best."

The other party didn't buy it, so Yun Xi didn't act too surprised, and she didn't rush to say goodbye to him. Instead, she followed his words with a sly expression: "You're right, I did save myself."

Qin Mufeng was surprised that she would compromise so easily when he heard her say again: "But you can't deny that you are also one of the beneficiaries, right? If you are worried that I, the lion, will open my mouth, you are wrong."

"The ancients said that a gentleman loves money and acquires it in a proper way. Although I am not a gentleman, I still have a bottom line."

When she said these words, she completely forgot about the previous "robbery".

Qin Mufeng seemed to be used to his shamelessness and was interested to see how shameless she could say.

Yun Xi saw that he was silent and didn't care, so he continued to talk to himself: "Lend me one hundred taels of gold, and I can write you an IOU."

Borrowing money again? Borrowing money again without even repaying what you borrowed last time?

Seeing that he was still refusing to express his position, Yun Xi felt increasingly unsure.

"I'm very curious. Who gave you the confidence to borrow a hundred taels of gold from a country girl with little experience?"

Although Qin Mufeng asked this question, he had already labeled her as wanting to default on the debt, thinking that she was taking the opportunity to take revenge on him for his bargaining.

"I need it urgently, and you have also learned my medical skills. As long as you give me time, paying back the money will definitely not be a problem."

As soon as Yun Xi became anxious, his momentum would inevitably fall behind him.

"I can lend it to you, just an IOU."

She felt happy. With these one hundred taels of gold, Bai Jingchen's problem could be solved as soon as possible, which made her feel relieved.

Before he could say his thanks, Qin Mufeng slowly completed the second half of the sentence: "Sign a deed of sale."

Yun Xi's expression froze instantly. Is this bitch crazy? It's only a hundred taels of gold, but he actually wants her to sign a contract of sale?

"Okay! When the time comes, we will pay back the money with one hand and the deed of selling ourselves with the other."

Yes, Yun Xi gave in.

She agreed too quickly and her expression was too calm, which greatly surprised Qin Mufeng.

Only then did he realize that she really meant to pay back the loan she just said.

Qin Mufeng lowered his eyes slightly to hide the confusion in his eyes.

This woman was different from all the women he knew, and he found that he could never see through her.

Qin Mufeng was really too curious. What did she want to do with the one hundred taels of gold? So she asked Qin Jiu, who had never shown up, to follow her for a while so that he could understand her purpose and movements at any time.

"You mean she ordered a large amount of expensive and rare medicinal materials from Jishitang?"

Qin Mufeng's frown did not relax at all, medicinal materials? Could it be that she did all this to save Liu Qingyang?

If that's the case, it makes sense. But if you think about it carefully, it's a little unreasonable...

"My eldest son, Madam, she also went to the ruined temple in Liujia Village." After coming out, she seemed to be in a lower mood.

Qin Jiu was afraid of disturbing the situation, so he only dared to follow him from a distance, not knowing what was happening in the ruined temple.

Qin Mufeng's mind became increasingly confused as he listened to Qin Jiu's report.

Could it be that the previous investigation of her was not detailed enough? Or was there a deviation somewhere...

"Qin Jiu, go check her again and don't miss any details."

Yunxi, who knew nothing about it, was asking for a "dowry" from Mrs. Yun.

She looked at the small wooden box in her arms, and her heart felt a little calmer. She was thinking about how to ask questions about her life experience, but she didn't rush to open the box.

"This is something your mother left behind. You should put it away. The longevity lock inside is something that can prove your identity."

Yun Xi secretly said that indeed, it seemed that her previous guess was correct. She swallowed back the question she had just prepared and quietly waited for the old lady's next words.

After Mrs. Yun finished speaking, she closed her eyes without any intention of continuing. Yun Xi became anxious.

"What about the wooden sign? What is my identity?"

Mrs. Yun opened her eyes and met her expectant eyes, shaking her head slightly.

"Your mother gave me that wooden sign. She didn't tell me its origin or purpose."

"you……"

"You are General Bai's posthumous son."

After Mrs. Yun revealed this big secret hidden deep in her heart, not only did she not feel any relief, she looked even older.

Yun Xi didn't notice her change, and was filled with shock. Could it be the General Bai whom the original owner knew?

"The General Bai you are talking about is..."

"Who can make me, old lady, exchange my daughter-in-law's life for General Bai?" Her tone was bleak, her eyes were blank, as if she was stuck in a certain memory and couldn't extricate herself.

The amount of information in her words was so great that Yun Xi, who was already vaguely prepared, froze for a long time and could not recover.

The reason why the current emperor was able to successfully ascend the throne was all because General Bai Tingshan single-handedly took the blame for him being framed by the former prince for treason.

The late emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the nine tribes of Baiting Mountain. From the Bai family to eighty-year-old women and infants, even the pregnant women were not spared. No one in the family of 108 was spared...

Now, the old lady actually told her that the original owner was the posthumous son of General Bai. She had exchanged it with the daughter-in-law of the Yun family.

Yun Xi felt that because of this overwhelming kindness, even if she was not the original owner, she would never be able to break away from the Yun family in this life.

The shackles of this huge kindness were so heavy that she couldn't avoid them and couldn't throw them away. She didn't want to, she couldn't.
