Mu Jiangli saw her expression freeze, so he withdrew his hand and said, “I apologize, I was rude.”

His fingers gathered within the wide sleeves, trembling slightly.

Liu Shimei replied, “It’s nothing.”

But her heart remained uncertain.

Mu Jiangli always gave her a sense of detachment.

This person was indifferent, making it difficult for ordinary people to truly connect with him.

Yet, he often gave her a certain feeling—was it genuine concern and care from the depths of his heart?

Since he had given her a gift, she felt compelled to invite him for tea, so she said, “Brother Mu, why don’t we go to a teahouse?”

Mu Jiangli hesitated, “I have something to tell you, and it’s not suitable to discuss in a crowded teahouse.”

Changing her mind, Liu Shimei suggested, “How about this? I have a small courtyard nearby that I rarely visit. If Brother Mu doesn’t mind, we can go there for some tea?”

Mu Jiangli, feeling relieved that she didn’t mind, nodded, “That’s fine. We need a quiet place to talk.”

Soon, Liu Shimei led him to the small building where Zhong Lang currently resided.

Mo’er brought tea.

Mu Jiangli began the conversation, “Recently, I’ve been investigating Du Gong’s matter, and I’ve managed to find some clues.”

“Oh?” Liu Shimei’s attention was immediately diverted, and she eagerly inquired, “What clues have you found?”

In her heart, she wondered if what Mu Jiangli found might surpass what Liang Yi had discovered.

Speaking of this matter, Mu Jiangli’s expression became slightly more serious. He said, “Zheng Medical Hall and Du Gong are indeed not under the same master. As for Du Gong… he is a person from the Western Wei Kingdom!”

Liu Shimei was taken aback, “He… doesn’t look like someone from the Western Wei Kingdom!”

People from the Western Wei Kingdom were tall and sturdy, with an average height above 180 cm, and their figures were robust.

On the other hand, men from the Great Shu had an average height below 175 cm. Her silly puppy was an exception, taller than those robust men from the Liang family.

Even Huang Fu Lingyao, although not particularly muscular, did not have a very stout build. He just looked sturdy, and when dressed, he seemed slim but had flesh when undressed, that kind of appearance.

That’s it!

But Du Gong… was a typical man from the Great Shu, standing at less than 175 cm, with a figure not particularly robust, like an ordinary scholar.

Mu Jiangli explained, “He is a mixed-blood child of the Great Shu and the Western Wei. Because his father is from the Great Shu, and his mother is from the Western Wei, his appearance and figure lean toward those of the Great Shu.”

“Then it’s like Madam Miao, her father is from the Western Wei, and her mother is from the Great Shu, and her appearance is more like her mother.” Liu Shimei furrowed her brows, saying, “But…”

She still couldn’t understand, “No matter how you look at Du Gong, he doesn’t seem like someone from the Western Wei.”

Mu Jiangli replied, “Perhaps because he grew up in the Great Shu.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “That’s not the point. The point is the women Du Gong has had improper relations with…”

He glanced at Liu Shimei, his eyes revealing a hint of apology, before continuing, “I mean, all the women who have had such relations with him.” “Oh,” Liu Shimei thought, “Brother Mu, are you too much of a gentleman?” Because mentioning those lowly women, he thought it might offend a prestigious lady like Liu Shimei, so he felt a bit sorry.

Would a family like the Medicine Lord, a martial arts family, also pay attention to poetry, books, and etiquette?

Mu Jiangli had the demeanor of a gentleman. Although he would make relatively intimate gestures towards her, he felt it was impolite even after doing them.

But a person’s upbringing permeates from their bones, and she could see that he was a gentleman! ViiSiit n𝒐velb𝒊/n(.)c/(𝒐)m for l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels

A gentleman like the fragrance of orchids and the elegance of jade!

Mu Jiangli continued speaking….
