Chapter 214 Mother, Were You Driven Down the Mountain?

Qi Hao was considerate of Murong Ji's face and did not ask any more questions.

Zhang Xiaofan poked Murong Ji and asked, "Seventh Senior Brother, why... are you here as a waiter?"

Murong Ji rolled his eyes and said, "My brain was eaten half by rhubarb, so I got it."

Zeng Shushu laughed and said, "When I first came back, I thought, 'Oh, my dear son, I miss you so much.'"

"After a while, she got tired of him. It's normal for women, and he's not as likable as me."

Zhang Xiaofan: “…”

After a while, the waiter brought dozens of dishes, and finally a piece of fresh stewed fish.

The aroma of the food instantly wafted into the air. The food at Shanhaiyuan was famous for its color, aroma and taste.

"Seventh Senior Brother, what kind of fish is this? It tastes so good."

Murong Ji glanced at it and said, "I don't know how to cook the fish stewed in clear water. Why don't you try it yourself?"

Zhang Xiaofan took a bite and instantly analyzed a lot of cooking methods.

"This sleeping fish is a specialty of Zhugou Mountain in the south. You, the shop owner, are trying to cheat us!" A crisp and sweet voice was heard.

Murong Ji's face darkened instantly. Isn't this just making trouble?

"Oh yes, it's fake, put your chopsticks down quickly, stop eating, put your chopsticks down quickly. You're the first one who ate half a fish in one bite in all these years!"

Bi Yao narrowed her eyes and smiled like a little fox, then shouted downstairs: "Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper! Your waiter is going to beat someone up!"

Murong Ji had a dull look on his face, looking at that 'vegetable leaf', who was cheering and jumping at the stairs, shouting with a black line on his face: "Shut up!"

"Shopkeeper! He's still yelling at people!"

"Murong Ji! I think you are tired of living!" An angry roar came from downstairs, and Murong Ji twitched his mouth with a dazed look on his face.

The three-story building of Shanhaiyuan is connected to both sides. Going down from the left side is the backyard, and going down from the right side is the front hall. It is very convenient.

Murong Ji looked at Qi Hao with a dull expression. Qi Hao wanted to laugh, but he wanted to save some face for Murong Ji, so he forced himself not to laugh.

He said to the stairs: "Junior Sister Shi, it's a misunderstanding, don't worry, I was just joking."

Then he turned to the 'vegetable leaf' and said, "This girl may not know that this fish is indeed grown in Zhugou Mountain. However, a hundred years ago, Taoist Master Daoxuan passed by Zhugou Mountain and brought this fish back."

"They were released into the Hongchuan River behind Qingyun Mountain. Now they are not only surviving, but are also gradually thriving."

"Hmph!" The woman snorted coldly, walked back to the table, and ate the fish silently. After finishing, she was still not satisfied, "Waiter! Bring another fish!"

Murong Ji retracted his gaze and looked at the expressionless Lu Xueqi. Only then did he realize that Bi Yao was not worse looking than Lu Xueqi. It really was...tsk tsk tsk.

Looking at Lu Xueqi who was eating silently, Murong Ji came up with a plan. He took out a candy that was not sold to the public and turned to look at Bi Yao: "! 'Vegetable Leaves', take it!"

Bi Yao held the thing in her hand with a confused look on her face. She took a look and saw that it was a candy. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Please have some. This candy is a specialty of Shanhaiyuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ji heard Lu Xueqi's rapid breathing beside him, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Afterwards, Murong Ji began to chat with Bi Yao, talking about everything under the sun.

After everyone finished eating, Qi Hao said, "Let's rest here tonight and set off tomorrow."

Murong Ji nodded, went downstairs, and entered the backyard room.

Qi Hao wanted to give him some more instructions, but Lu Xueqi ignored him and went straight into the room. With a "bang", she closed the door.

Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. Lu Xueqi, what happened? !

Murong Ji looked at the tightly closed door and smiled, "It's good to have a reaction. I'm afraid that if there is no reaction, that would be uncomfortable."

After returning to the room, not long after, his mother came.

He sat down on the chair, with an unhappy look on his face, and looked at Murong Ji with scrutiny.

Murong Ji had a headache. His mother was definitely not an easy person to deal with. Not only was she a bit eccentric, but she was also always very careful.

The business of Shanhaiyuan seems to be managed by my father Murong Yunhai, but in fact, it is my mother who makes the decisions on all matters big and small.

We make a lot of money every year.

An old medicinal herb is worth several thousand taels, which is enough to support the three of them in their practice. Just imagine how much I have embezzled.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Murong Ji thought that he would be scolded based on his performance in the past month.

"Tell the truth." Shi Yanlian's expression was a little scary. She was confident of winning, and it seemed that she was giving him a chance to surrender.

Murong Ji wouldn't fall for it, as he had used this trick on his own children many times in his previous life.

"What do you want to tell me, mother?"

Who knew that my mother would change her previous serious expression.

With a face full of gossip, he approached Murong Ji and asked, "Son, do you like your junior sister from Xiaozhu Peak?"

Murong Ji was startled, with a look of surprise on his face, "Yeah, how did you figure that out?"

Shi Yanlian had an expression that said, "As expected, I knew it. Why do I dislike her so much? Turns out it's not my fault." Murong Ji: "..."

"Okay, I get it. That girl is really pretty. My son has good taste." As she said that, Shi Yanlian patted Murong Ji's shoulder.

"When you were little, I noticed that you were stupid and silly. Wouldn't you be single in the future? I never thought that you would pick such a gifted girl."

"Mom is telling you, when you're courting a girl, you can't be too honest. Make her cry, make her laugh, make her unable to sleep at night, control her emotionally, and then drug her."

Murong Ji's face was filled with black lines. What was going on? He even suspected that his mother was expelled from the mountain because she was too unrestrained.

As she spoke, Shi Yanlian took out a packet of medicine powder from her bosom and stuffed it directly into Murong Ji's hand, "Go and give her some water later, put this in her."

Murong Ji asked dully: "What is this?"

"Love Powder."

"Oh my god! Mother, you are going to kill me!"

"What are you afraid of? When I came down the mountain, Xiaozhu Peak hadn't even started to snow yet. I'm young and don't have much life experience. If you're more skilled, she won't be able to detect it."

"Besides, I can see you in her eyes. It's just that her personality is a little cold. But it doesn't matter. Just warm her up..."

"Mom, I have a question."

"What's wrong?"

"You were driven down the mountain because you were too crazy, right?"

"Stop... Nonsense, your father has schemed against me, and I really have no other choice, so..."

Murong Ji interrupted, "The love potion you provided?"

Shi Yanlian blushed, and then scolded: "Why do you care about everything, kid! Just take care of your Junior Sister Lu!"

Murong Ji sent his mother away with a dazed look on his face, really resisting her constant admonitions.

If he plotted against Lu Xueqi now, Master Tian Buyi would hang him on the top of Dazhu Peak to dry.

I exhaled slowly, and when the wind blew I realized that I was sweating all over. I really couldn't bear it anymore.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back into the house, I saw a figure flashing in the garden in the distance. Who would go to the garden so late? !
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then chased after him.

Shanhaiyuan has a front yard for dining, but the back yard is built in the garden. There are four courtyards in the four corners of east, south, west and north. This is the highest-standard villa in Shanhaiyuan.

As you go outwards, the levels decrease.

Murong Ji walked out of the yard and was about to go into the garden when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Where are you going?"

The voice was cold and without a trace of emotion, but there was some resentment in the tone.

Murong Ji's expression froze, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned around and looked. Under the moonlight, Lu Xueqi's white clothes seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost.

Her cold face is even more beautiful against the background. The fairy in the Moon Palace is no better than this.

Murong Ji smiled and said, "Junior Sister Lu, I... well... I'm going to go out for a while."

Lu Xueqi didn't say anything, just stared at him in a daze, then came to her senses and looked down at the ground.

Murong Ji was about to leave when he heard Lu Xueqi say, "What are you going to do?"

Murong Ji could hardly suppress the smile in his heart, like a cunning hunter, "To be honest, Junior Sister Lu, I like the dish I met today... that girl."

"I have already made an appointment with her to go to the garden to enjoy the scenery together."

Lu Xueqi's face turned even paler. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Only three words came out of her mouth: "You are not allowed to go."

Murong Ji was startled: "Why? Junior Sister Lu, you shouldn't hinder my marriage..."

"You're not allowed to go!"

Lu Xueqi's tone became a little heavier, her breathing became a little faster, and her eyes were fixed on Murong Ji.

Murong Ji spread his hands and said, "I am the only child in my family. Junior Sister Lu can't let me die without an heir, right? There is no reason for that."

Lu Xueqi opened her mouth, her fingers tightly clasped the hilt of the Tianya sword, and she was unable to utter a word.

Murong Ji stood there and looked at her quietly, his heart full of anticipation. He didn't know how to fall in love, but he knew how to stir other people's emotions.

No matter whether it is a man or a woman, they will never remember the person who pursued them. What they think of in their hearts is the person they traveled across mountains and rivers to see.

In fact, Lu Xueqi’s coldness was not real coldness, but a high wall she built around herself. She also longed for friends, and she also longed to share.

Make her shy and anxious, and then use other women to keep a certain distance from her.

In the process of gaining and then losing, the most painful moment is the moment of losing. After losing completely, people will feel relieved.

Murong Ji looked at Lu Xueqi quietly, watching her tormenting herself in her heart.

The most important thing about this method is that you cannot let her make a decision, but let her experience the feeling of losing and regaining.

Looking at the time, it should be time, so he said: "Master Lu...Xueqi, are you willing to..."
