Mu Ling 'er was very persistent. No matter how Han Yunxi tried to persuade her, she insisted that they return to Yunning to learn cooking from Granny Zhao and take care of Han Yunxi.
She actually forgot all about her debts and the fact that she had to plant medicinal herbs in the snowy mountains.
Han Yunxi had no choice but to ask Shopkeeper Luo to press for Mu Ling 'er's debts in private. She also disabled the gold card and made it useless.
Only then did Mu Ling 'er give up and obediently stay in the barracks to wait for Jin Zi to come back and deal with the debt.
Before leaving, Han Yunxi left Mu Ling 'er with a sentence. She said, "Ling' er, you're not young anymore. You should live for yourself."
Han Yunxi left him with these words before leaving.
Mu Ling 'er stood in a daze for a long time in the howling north wind.
When she was young, she lived for her father's orders and for the glory of the Mu family. In those years, she chased after Qi Brother everywhere. She had been busy with all kinds of matters in Medicine City. If any of her friends were in trouble, she would be the first to help.
Live for herself?
She had never thought about this question.
Now that Han Yunxi had explained it to her, she didn't really understand. However, she didn't know why, but she felt as if a certain part of her heart was being pulled. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable and blocked.
She stood there for a long time before returning to the barracks. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly heard someone call her from behind. "Mu Ling 'er!"
She turned around and saw Jin Zi riding on a horse. His face was covered in dust, and his clothes and hair were messed up by the strong wind.
The sky was dark and the north wind was rampant. The entire grassland was dark and gloomy. Jin Zi's black clothes almost merged with the dark sky.
Mu Ling 'er felt like she was dreaming. It was a dream about the edge of the world and the end of time.
It must be a dream.
Jin Zi was far away at the western border. How could he be here?
She hadn't dreamed of anyone for a long time. Her dreams were always empty.
Why did this annoying fellow barge in?
She clearly wanted to dream of her Big Brother Xiao Qi.
Not only did he disturb her in real life, he even dared to intrude into her dreams like a haunting ghost. He was really … very annoying!
Mu Ling'er ignored him and turned around. As soon as they entered the tent, the whole world suddenly became bright and warm. Mu Ling'er also became much more awake.
She thought that she must have been hallucinating.
But who knew that just as she sat down, Jin Zi walked in.
Mu Ling'er was stunned. Only then did she completely sober up. She blurted out, "You... why are you back?"
He should have just arrived at the border!
Jin Zi came back halfway because he suddenly realized that if Han Yunxi was really pregnant, he would not stay in Long Fei Ye for long. The winter in Northern Li was not easy. With Mu Ling 'er's personality, she would definitely follow him back.
Therefore, he gave the map to Xu Donglin and returned.
"You... are still not leaving?" Jin Zi asked in return.
Mu Ling'er did not understand for a moment. Jin Zi added, "Your sister has already left. Why are you still here?"
Mu Ling'er was originally feeling a little down. But after Jin Zi asked this question, her anger surged. She said coldly, "You haven't returned my gold card? How am I going to leave? Do you think I'm willing to stay here? Let me tell you, Qiankun Bank has already come to collect the debt from me. Do as you see fit! "
"Someone will return the gold card to you in a few days. Someone will also arrange for the debt to be paid at the end of the month. I will also help you pay the interest from Kangan Bank. "
As Jin Zi said this, he purposely opened the door and opened it. "You can leave now."
Mu Ling'er felt stifled. She did not know what to say.
She wanted to leave immediately, but …
She thought for a long time before she remembered about the snow mountain. Yes, she still had to go up the snow mountain to plant herbs. Her sister did not want her to take care of her, so of course she had to quickly plant the herbs. She could either buy them from the black market or use them as collateral for Kangan Bank!
If not for this, even if her sister did not want her to take care of her, she would have left long ago and returned to Medicine City!
Mu Ling'er explained herself in her heart.
She felt a little more confident and asked in return, "You... you, why did you come back?"
"I forgot to take something," Jin Zi said Coldly.
"Oh!"
Mu Ling'er answered loudly. Then, the two of them fell silent again.
Jin Zi hardened his heart and asked again, "You're still not leaving?"
He really did not expect her to stay. He wanted to ask her why, like a madman, but if he asked, it would sound like he was chasing her away. "You're still not leaving?"
"I, I..."
Mu Ling'er hesitated. Jin Zi unconsciously furrowed his brows, waiting for her answer.
Unfortunately, Mu Ling'er did not give him an answer, but a goodbye. She said, "Who said I'm not leaving? I just forgot to take something. I'm leaving now! Goodbye! "
Of course, she would leave the army camp, but she would not leave Northern Li. She left after saying that, striding past Jin Zi and out the door.
Jin Zi was stunned. He stood there, motionless.
The tent was brightly lit and the stove was warm, but his body was gradually becoming colder.
He had rushed back day and night, riding a horse at full speed. He allowed the wind to pour into his clothes and into his body. It was so cold that he lost all feeling in his body. But that was not as cold as the coldness he felt at this moment.
After a long time, he turned his head and saw the vast grassland outside the door. It was gloomy and bleak, without any light or end in sight.
He began to think about Mu Ling'er's question.
Why did he come back?
To keep her? But, he clearly did not.
A year had already passed. What did he want to do by forcing her to come here?
He clearly knew that she hated him. He clearly knew that he would not force her to marry him. If he wanted to, he would have done so a year ago.
Now that he had forced her to come here, what could he do?
Jin Zi took out the gold card and looked at it silently.
Actually, he had always carried this gold card with him. He could return it to her at any time.
He looked at it for a long time before handing the gold card to the servant. He said calmly, "Go to the bank and pay off all the money in this card."
"Yes!" The servant asked, "Master, then this card … you don't want it anymore?"
Jin Zi stared at the servant and did not answer for a long time.
The servant felt his hair stand on end. He did not know whether to say or not. He was so scared that his legs turned to jelly.
In the end, Jin Zi did not say whether he wanted the card or not. He just turned and left.
The servant looked at the gold card in his hand with a confused expression.
Lord Jin's thoughts were the most difficult to guess. What should he do?
Jin Zi rushed to the border that day and did not ask about Mu Ling'er's whereabouts. A few days later, the servant went to the underground bank and transferred a sum of money to Heaven and Earth Bank. Heaven and Earth Bank lifted the ban on the gold card. The servant brought it back, but didn't know what to do with it. After struggling for three days and three nights, he finally secretly put the gold card under Lord Jin's pillow.
Half a month later, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye returned to Yunning Palace. Gu Beiyue also brought Rui'er back from Medical City.
Han Yunxi began her happy days of nurturing her baby. However, Rui'er had no choice but to sleep in separate beds from them. After all, Rui'er slept in a different bed. It would be a big problem if he kicked his mother's belly.
At first, Rui 'er wasn't happy and made a fuss for two nights. Later on, Rui' er stopped making a fuss. Every night, when the Grand Tutor wanted to leave the palace, he would follow and stay in the Grand Tutor's residence at night.
Gu Beiyue did not return to Medical City, so the matter at Medical City was delayed. Mu Ling'er did not return to Medicine City, so the matter at Medicine City was also delayed. The matters at Medical City and Medicine City were not urgent. After all, Long Fei Ye had to fill the national treasury first before he could touch Medical City and Medicine City.
Mu Ling'er did not return to Medicine City. Since Lil Thing had nothing to do, it ran back to Yunning City. Once it came back, Rui'er would have company and would not return to the palace with Grand Tutor Gu. He forced his imperial father and imperial mother to come to the Grand Tutor's residence to accompany him several times. Rui'er was actually just throwing a tantrum. As long as his imperial father and imperial mother came, he would be overjoyed and would definitely return to the palace with them that night. He also did not want his imperial mother to sleep with him. Instead, he relied on his imperial father. In the end, Long Fei Ye had no choice but to put two beds in the palace.
Because of Rui'er and Lil Thing, the originally quiet Grand Tutor's residence became lively. The livelier it was, the more Han Yunxi missed Qin Min. She was also more curious about what had happened between Qin Min and Gu Beiyue.
She and Long Fei Ye only knew that Qin Min was most likely faking her pregnancy. However, they really could not guess the truth between Qin Min and Gu Beiyue.
Han Yunxi wanted to ask him about Qin Min multiple times, but she held back the words as they reached her lips. After all, Gu Beiyue's attitude in Ningzhou City made it difficult for her to ask too many questions. After all, that was Gu Beiyue's family matter.
A month later, Jin Zi, Xu Donglin, and the people sent by the Supreme Court found out about the illegal salt. They arrested the people who were escorting the salt at the secret passage between Northern Li and Wintercrow. At the same time, they found some evidence of the three great clans colluding with Wintercrow's human trafficker Le Zheng.
The three great clans had indeed colluded with Le Zheng to occupy the secret passage and smuggle other goods to the Mysterious Continent. However, they had not acted on it yet.
Long Fei Ye did not personally appear in the trial, nor did he expose East Origin Palace. He let the Supreme Court Chancellor preside over the case.
After a month of trial, the Chancellor convicted Shopkeeper Cao and many people from the three great clans. At the same time, he also arrested a large number of officials.
Because the three great clans' Patriarchs were not directly involved in the case, they were not convicted and could only be considered as being implicated. However, Long Fei Ye used this case to eliminate many of the three great clans' influence in the Great Qin's officialdom. At the same time, he took back the Changning Salt Pans and took the opportunity to take over the other salt pans. It could be said that this case completely reversed the situation in Jiangnan.
From then on, there were no more wealthy clans in Jiangnan that could rival a nation. It was also from this year that the Great Qin's treasury became more and more abundant.
It was worth mentioning that the Supreme Court Chancellor did not know where the evidence given to him by the Emperor came from. A few Vice Chancellors personally interrogated Shopkeeper Cao to find out who he was transporting the salt to. In the end, Shopkeeper Cao did not reveal the Young Lord of East Origin Palace. He knew that the death penalty was unavoidable. Before he died, he still hoped that the Young Lord of East Origin Palace would treat his family and clansmen well. As for the three young masters, they did not dare to confess. Because once they did, the three great clans would be punished even more severely.
The buyer of the salt became the final mystery. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi would probably never reveal the truth in this lifetime. Because of this, only Han Yunxi knew that the Young Lord of East Origin Palace had a homosexual fetish.
After the case was over, Jin Zi was exhausted.
He returned to the army camp and fell asleep on his pillow...
