Chapter 36
Yun Xi asked someone to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone and planned to write He Li first and send it to Qin Mufeng.
When Bai Chen came to see her, she had just finished writing and hadn't had time to put it in the envelope.
Bai Chen was a little surprised when he saw it: "Are you writing a He Li book?"
"Um."
"By the way, I will borrow someone from you to be my messenger to the Anlehou Mansion, and hand this over to him personally," she shook the envelope.
Bai Chen knew that she was having trouble with Qin Mufeng, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"What happened?"
The light concern in his tone warmed Yun Xi's heart, and she smiled: "What could happen to us? Getting married was just a transaction, don't you know that?"
He knew that their marriage was a transaction, but he didn't know that they would divorce?
How many days have you been married? Half a month? Can you be so casual and hasty about major life events?
"So the divorce was agreed before you made the deal?"
"Yes, he agreed to make this deal with me because of the old lady. You know, old people like to rush into marriage when they get older. Now that she is gone, there is no need to continue the deal."
"He did it for the old lady, what about you? Could it be that he wanted to detoxify me?"
"This..."
Yun Xi considered that he had just been detoxified and was weak, so he didn't want his emotional ups and downs to affect his recovery.
She winked at him playfully, smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."
Bai Chen just assumed that she didn't want to talk, and he couldn't force her when it came to personal privacy.
"You came to see me for something?" Yun Xi changed the subject with a natural expression.
"You know because of the Seven Worlds and Three Lives Flower incident, I rarely go out during the day. After all, this is my home. I finally have the chance to come back here alive, so I just want to go out for a walk."
"I also thought that you were in the Marquis Mansion not long after you arrived, and you probably didn't have many opportunities to come out, so I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with me."
Yun Xi's hand passed across his chest calmly. The wound still hurt a little. If you be careful, it shouldn't bleed again.
"Let's come together. It will also let me get familiar with" the place where she was supposed to live.
Yunxi thought he would take her shopping, but she didn't expect he would take her boating on the lake.
The boatman rowed the boat skillfully through the crescent-shaped lotus lake.
The large pink and white lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the faint floral fragrance floats gently with the breeze.
It would be nice to drink the lotus leaf tea made by the boatman and eat some sweet pastries.
Bai Chen detoxified, and his sense of smell and taste are slowly recovering, but it will take some time to fully recover.
"It's better to live a happy life." Bai Chen said with emotion.
Yun Xi unceremoniously exposed his shortcomings: "Oh? I remember not long ago that someone said that it was good to lose the sense of taste, and you would not be picky about food."
Bai Chen choked: "Aren't I afraid that you will blame yourself too much? After all, it's all because of you that I got poisonous."
"You still have the nerve to say that? Please, next time there is an uneven road, please find out if the other party needs it, please?"
"By the way, Lord Chen, please borrow some money."
"You saved my life. You can't say how much money you want to borrow. From now on, you can just ask for how much money you want."
Yun Xi suddenly realized that it would be nice to have a brother who is a prince, at least it would be easier to use money.
"One hundred taels of gold."
"...You are really secretive enough. I can take back what I just said."
Yun Xi smiled, very happily.
"It's too late. A gentleman's words are hard to follow, and His Highness Prince Chen cannot go back on his word."
"Don't worry, it's only a hundred taels of gold, nothing more valuable than a life."
"But I'm curious, did anything happen to you with such a large amount of money?"
Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Not to detoxify you, but to buy you the antidote, I used the deed of sale as collateral to borrow one hundred taels of gold from Qin Mufeng."
Bai Chen didn't expect that things would turn out this way, so he touched his nose uncomfortably.
He thought that he still owed her a thank you after so long and didn't have time to say: "Thank you, Yun Xi."
It was rare for Yun Xi to see him being so solemn, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and changed the subject abruptly.
"By the way, what are your plans in the future?"
"After detoxification, I remembered something again. I want to go to my mother and...sister first."
"Sister?" Don't you mean you are not sure about the gender?
Bai Chen took a sip of tea, looked at the horizon and smiled: "I hope it's a sister."
Yun Xi also smiled: "Then your dream should come true."
Bai Chen couldn't hear the sound of her words, so he smiled and thanked her for her blessing.
"Aren't you the legitimate son? Why do you call her Xiao Niang? She..."
"Although my mother is my father's concubine, she is no different from my own mother to me."
"My mother was injured and died early when she gave birth to me. I hardly felt any maternal love. It was her arrival that made me know what maternal love is."
"It's not just me, my father also doesn't treat her as a concubine. If she hadn't come from a bad background, I could legitimately call her mother."
There was a touch of regret on Bai Chen's face.
Yun Xi pretended to be surprised and said: "Is she from a bad background? But I once heard my grandfather say that her extraordinary conversation and temperament are better than those of other ladies."
She said her guess while observing his reaction.
"My mother has lost her memory and cannot remember her past at all. She has no tokens or anything to prove her identity, and her father cannot help her if he wants to."
???
No token?
So what is the wooden plaque in her hand with the birthday engraved on it? Could it be that she and Mrs. Yun both thought wrong? That wooden plaque does not belong to the mother of the original owner, but to someone else?
Yun Xi's intuition was that something was wrong, and for a while she couldn't figure out the key.
Seeing her frown, Bai Chen was a little confused: "What's wrong with you?"
Yun Xi suddenly came back to her senses. She was worried about his health, so she didn't say anything more.
"It's okay, I suddenly thought of something."
She didn't say what it was, and luckily Bai Chen didn't mean to ask further, otherwise she really wouldn't know what kind of excuses to make up to get past it.
"Stop talking about me, let's talk about you."
"Me?" Yun Xi was a little surprised: "Don't you know everything about me? What is there to say?"
"Don't you think it's a pity to just make peace with him? Do you like that silly boy so much?"
Where did this silly boy come from?
etc……
Could it be that he was talking about Liu Qingyang?
"...of course not."
"Then why do you want to reconcile? I think he treats you quite well, and I think he seems to treat you a little differently. Isn't it good to stay in the Hou Mansion?" Bai Chen couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked.
Something I wanted to ask before I learned about poison.
"You speak for him?! Don't forget, who reminded me to stay away from him in the first place, saying that he was not simple."
Bai Chen didn't expect that she would still remember this, and was a little embarrassed for a moment.
"...I didn't recognize him at that time! Besides, I was right. Did he hide his true identity from you?"
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes at him exaggeratedly: "Haha!"
