Mu Ningyuan wanted to hold his forehead, and sure enough...

How can you ask so directly when you first meet?

Qi'er was almost scared away by her.

"Mom, why do you ask so clearly?" Mu Ningyuan said helplessly.

His eyes were already hinting to his mother not to ask any more questions.

Si Qi was a little embarrassed at first, but she was generous and not fussy.

She said very frankly: "Auntie, my name is Si Qi, I'm eighteen years old. I'm not married yet! I don't want to get married so early!"

Madam Mu nodded and thought, eighteen years old is not young at all, it’s just right.

"Where are you from? Who else is in your family?" Mrs. Mu completely ignored her son's hint and continued to check the household registration.

Shen Yindi watched the fun from the side.

If Qi'er feels uncomfortable, she will try to resolve the situation.

But given her personality, she wasn't worried.

"I'm from Shuzhong, and I have an older brother at home! But my brother is very busy and has no time to care about me."

"I see. They say that Shu is home to beautiful women. It seems the reputation is well-deserved."

"Thank you for the compliment, auntie."

"Okay, mother, let Miss Shen take your pulse?" Mu Ningyuan said immediately.

"Okay." Mrs. Mu didn't ask for the time being.

Anyway, she knows the basic information.

Then they sat down and Shen Yindi took her pulse.

Mu Ningyuan stood on Si Qi's side, a little distance away from them.

He whispered, "I'm sorry, my mother asked too many questions just now, which was rude. But she didn't mean any harm."

Si Qi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's not a secret that can't be told."

"Maybe Auntie is very concerned about your friends and wants to know more about them." I didn't think about it that way.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Mu Ningyuan breathed a sigh of relief silently, but a sense of loss inexplicably welled up in his heart.

"As long as you understand."

"Of course I can understand that. I'm not a stingy person."

Here, Shen Yindi has already diagnosed Madam Mu's pulse.

She had just asked her some questions.

"The pulse is good, and there is nothing wrong with your body. Walk around more often and relax. Keep a happy mood."

"I'll prescribe you some tranquilizers later."

Madam Mu nodded and sighed, "Actually, I don't have any other wishes right now. I just hope Yuan'er can get married soon. Then my life will be complete and I will have no regrets."

Shen Yindi once again felt the urge to get married and felt helpless for Lord Mu.

Mu Ningyuan had obviously gotten used to it, but today with Si Qi here, he felt a little complicated.

Shen Yindi comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie. When fate comes, we will naturally get married. This matter cannot be rushed. Master Mu must like it. After all, we are going to spend our whole life together, so we can't be careless."

"You don't have to worry too much. It's bad for your health."

"What Adi said makes sense."

Mrs. Mu glanced at her son and said nothing.

After a moment's silence, she said, "Why don't you all have lunch together at my house today? We never had the chance before. I couldn't treat you properly."

"Brother Yan and I are fine, but what about Qi'er?" Shen Yindi asked what Si Qi meant.

"Okay!" Si Qi agreed readily.

"Okay, in that case, you guys go walk around for a while, I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare lunch for today."

"Is there any food that you can't eat?" Mrs. Mu instantly perked up.

"No. We don't pick and choose."

"Okay. Our cook is pretty good."

Afterwards, Madam Mu went to the kitchen, accompanied by her maid, who was an older aunt who must have been serving her.

"In that case, let me take you around." Mu Ningyuan said.

"Okay!"

"But my place is not that big. I only have two yards, one for my mother and one for me."

Mu Ningyuan's family is not very luxurious, just like an ordinary family.

"It's okay, let's go to your yard and take a look." Si Qi was most interested in this kind of thing.

Seeing that she liked it, Mu Ningyuan felt at ease.

Mu Ningyuan lived in the next yard. There was a study, a living room, and three rooms.

There were two or three servants serving him.

The yard is quite wide and there is a pavilion.

There is a field next to it where he practices martial arts.

A lot of trees were planted. These trees looked very old, with lush branches and leaves, and trunks as thick as buckets. They must have been planted for a long time.

It's nice to cool down here in the summer.

This is an osmanthus tree. When the osmanthus flowers bloom, the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

Si Qi looked around, and Mu Ningyuan followed her and introduced her.

There was no need to worry about Chu Yan, he had been here many times anyway and was not unfamiliar with this place.

Chu Yan took Shen Yindi to sit in the pavilion.

Let Mu Ningyuan take Si Qi out for a walk, he will create opportunities for his friends.

"Brother Mu, do you practice swordplay and martial arts every day?"

"Go, I play a game every morning when I wake up. It also helps me vent a little when I'm bored on weekdays."

"Well, what's there to be upset about?"

"Is it that the case cannot be solved?" Si Qi's big round eyes were full of questions.

Lord Mu was also very happy that she was interested in him.

"Yes, mostly these, and also my mother's health has been poor in recent years and has been getting worse." Mu Ningyuan did not hide it.

"I think your aunt is no different from a normal person now. You don't have to worry!" Si Qi comforted her caringly.

"Well, thanks to Miss Shen, I am not worried about my mother's health now."

"If my mother's questions just now were offensive, I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't take it to heart. She means no harm." Mu Ningyuan explained again.

"I know! I won't mind! She's your mother, not someone else."

"If someone asked me so many questions, I would definitely not answer them!"

Master Mu curled his lips, which meant that he was different in her heart!

But Si Qi quickly asked, "But Auntie, do you ask this question to every strange girl you meet?"

"Not really, because I never brought any other girls home."

"Oh!" Si Qi nodded.

After hearing this, she felt inexplicably relieved.

"Do you want to go take a look at the study?" Mu Ningyuan asked again.

"Okay!" Si Qi did not refuse.

Mu Ningyuan took her there.

If she wanted, he would also like to show her his room.

But that seems presumptuous.

The study is not big, it is very simple, just a desk, a chair, two bookcases and a few chairs.

There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

There was nothing to see. Si Qi was not interested in this.

"Let's go out! There's nothing to see!" she said bluntly.

"it is good."

After a moment's silence, he said, "My life has always been so monotonous, with no other hobbies or interests. Apart from Yun Yi, I have no other friends."

"Except for duty and government affairs, I don't like to interact with others on weekdays."

He has said a lot today.

"Then don't you feel bored?" Si Qi tilted his head. He and I seemed to be two extremes. He didn't want to be alone and wanted to have fun.

"Not boring, I'm used to it, I like being alone."

"Will it be the same when you get married?"
