Chapter 147: 147. It’s up to you (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
The night wind was slightly cool, and the streets were sparsely populated.
“How did you do on the test?” Su Liang asked, then immediately realized it was a pointless question. Imitating Ning Jing’s tone, she asks and answers herself, ‘We’ll have to wait for the results to be posted.”
“Didn’t you say you weren’t going to see Duanmu Che anymore?” Ning Jing glanced at Su Liang.
Su Liang looked serious, “Let me explain.”
After telling the whole story, she asked Ning Jing, “Do you think I should heal
Duanmu Che?”
Ning Jing’s expression was indifferent, “If he continues to be disrespectful and reverts to his previous state, he’ll bring it upon himself.”
Su Liang smiled, “That’s what I thought too!”
She knew that Ning Jing was always reasonable, and after knowing the truth, he wouldn’t stop her from healing Duanmu Che.
Not only because Duanmu Che had saved the Original Master, but to find out the truth and avenge the Su Family, they also needed Duanmu Che to be alive.
It can’t be said that Duanmu Che was wrong, or even stupid, for suspecting Su Liang as a spy. From his point of view and position, it was normal.
However, after harboring suspicions about Su Liang, Duanmu Che’s inexplicable attitude towards her showed that he was somewhat indecisive in his character.
Since he had doubts, why did he wait until the Military Exam finals to expose her?
If he had suspicions, he should have investigated them sooner to avoid complications arising from delays.
Thus, Su Liang could only say that Duanmu Che was overly cautious in his thinking and insufficiently cautious in his actions.
He thought too much but didn’t act decisively enough.
If Su Liang were indeed a spy, and if she sensed Duanmu Che’s suspicions, it was possible for her to “make him sick” sooner. In comparison, Lian Shun was much more straightforward.
“Have you learned the Disguise Technique?” Ning Jing asked.
Su Liang nodded, “I’ve got the basics down, but I need to practice more! Want me to try it on your face?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized the problem, “You’d have to show your true identity for it to work.” Ning Jing simply responded with a word: “No.” Su Liang: .
“Never mind, I’ll try it on myself.” Su Liang said.
Returning home, both of them entered the kitchen together.
Ning Jing was preparing fish, occasionally adding wood to the stove. Su Liang couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is what partners in life do.”
One of the fish was made into squirrel fish by Su Liang, while the other one was kept in a basin to be eaten the next day.
Due to limited conditions, the color was far from ideal, but the fish was fresh, and the taste was good.
The two of them had a meal with another vegetarian dish and a soup.
That night, Su Liang used the Disguise Technique on herself before the mirror.
After finishing, she went out and saw that the light was still on in Ning Jing’s room. She called him out.
He had taken a bath once after returning from the test and had taken another one after preparing the fish at night. His hair was still wet and hung behind his head. Seeing Su Liang, his clear and cold eyes sparkled.
Su Liang, post-disguise, still looked like a woman, but her facial features had changed, making her look open, gracious, and full of heroic spirit.
“How is it?” Su Liang asked.
Ning Jing countered, “Is this your original appearance?”
Su Liang smiled, “You guessed it again.”
Ning Jing nodded slightly, giving his evaluation, “Beautiful.”
Su Liang chuckled and bowed, “Thank you for the Great God’s affirmation!”
“What was your original name?” Ning Jing asked.
Su Liang shook her head, “I won’t tell you.”
She knew Ning Jing’s real name but not his true appearance.
Ning Jing had seen Su Liang’s true appearance, so Su Liang decided not to tell him her original name.
This was only fair.
Ning Jing seemed to see what Su Liang was thinking, his expression indifferent, “Never mind.”
On the following day, their friends all came to their house.
Xing Yusheng went to pick up Lin Xueqing, and Lin Shuzhi also came along.
Qin Yujin directly brought Old Master Qin with him.
The weather was nice, and when the old master saw his granddaughter going out, he said he wanted to come along when he found out it was to Ning Jing and Su Liangs house.
Wan Hui and Lu Yu came with Zhengzheng, and seeing so many people, with no cook in the house, Wan Hui instructed her maid to order dishes from a restaurant to be delivered at noon.
Su Liang didn’t stand on ceremony with them and just told everyone to make themselves at home.
Old Master Qin and Lin Shuzhi sat by the Garden Lake fishing, with Xing Yusheng accompanying them, occasionally turning his head to look at Lin Xueqing in the pavilion.
“You young people go have fun, I’ll watch over Old Qin.” Lin Shuzhi saw that his future son-in-law was restless, so he spoke up.
Old Master Qin cheerfully patted his grandson, “Go on! ”
Only then did Xing Yusheng get up and go find Lin Xueqing.
As Lin Shuzhi and Old Master Qin chatted, Old Master Qin suddenly asked,
“Your second child is coming back soon, right?”
Lin Shuzhi smiled and nodded, “In the next three or five days.” “That child is excellent.” Old Master Qin said with a smile.
Lin Shuzhi immediately understood Old Master Qin’s meaning.
As for his two sons, Old Master Qin, such a shrewd man, wouldn’t just praise Lin Bojun if he only wanted to compliment someone.
Now that Lin Bojun is mentioned specifically, Lin Shuzhi feels that the Qin family also intends to form a matrimonial alliance.
As Qin Yujin’s grandfather, Old Master Qin didn’t speak explicitly, but Lin Shuzhi got the hint. He was thinking of sending a matchmaker to propose after Lin Bojun returns.
Although there is a disparity between the two families’ status, Lin Shuzhi doesn’t feel that his son is inferior to others.
He previously thought such a marriage wouldn’t be possible because Lin Xueqing found out that Qin Yujin was fond of Nian Jincheng. But things are different now.
The other day, Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing went to Huguo Temple to fulfill their vows. Lin Xueqing happily said that this time, Qin Yujin had mentioned Lin
Bojun in front of the Buddha first.
Wan Hui wanted Su Liang to give some pointers on Lu Yu’s martial arts, while Ning Jing, holding Zhengzheng, sat nearby to watch their practice.
“Go, Auntie!”
Wan Hui said that her husband would certainly be heartbroken.
Lu Yu lost.
Su Liang pointed out the problems in his moves with great sensitivity, and after a short while, they continued to spar.
She then demonstrated to Lu Yu how to use those martial arts training tools.
Wan Hui said she wanted to set up a training ground at home, too.
The food was delivered from the restaurant, and Wan Hui, Su Liang, Qin Yujin, and Lin Xueqing each cooked a dish in the kitchen.
Su Liang turned the fish brought back yesterday from the Fifth Prince’s Mansion into braised fish.
Old Master Qin praised Lin Xueqing, and Lin Shuzhi praised Qin Yujin.
Su Liang felt that when Lin Bojun came back, his marriage with Qin Yujin would be put on the agenda.
In the afternoon, guests started to leave one after another, and Su Liang needed to give Duanmu Che acupuncture treatments.
“I’ll go.” Ning Jing said.
Su Liang shook her head, “No, it’s not because of Duanmu Che, it’s Lian Shun. He’s good at disguise and knows about human skin masks. I’m afraid he’ll find out that your face is fake.”
“He’d have to be very close to me, touching the edge, to possibly discover it,” Ning Jing said.
Su Liang thought it made sense. That day, Lian Shun deliberately fought her in close proximity to verify her disguise, but he couldn’t confirm whether she was wearing a human skin mask, so he came back again.
It was also Su Liang who later rubbed her ears and jaw to prove that there was no anomaly.
By the way, Su Liang had been living with Ning Jing for more than half a year, and she hadn’t found any flaws in his mask to this day.
With this thought in mind, Su Liang gave the medicine box to Ning Jing and told him the acupuncture methods for Duanmu Che.
“You go then.” Su Liang said.
When it was time, Duanmu Che looked out the window.
Huang Bo smiled and said, “Miss Su should be here soon. It’s only been three days, and Master’s body has improved. Don’t think too much.” As soon as his words fell, a guard led Ning Jing into their sight.
There was no one else following.
“Master Ning, isn’t Miss Su coming?” Huang Bo asked.
“I’m here in her place,” Ning Jing said.
Huang Bo was surprised that Ning Jing also knew medical skills, and he looked at Duanmu Che, only to see him frown.
Huang Bo sensed that the atmosphere was off, so he invited Ning Jing inside first and hurriedly went to find Lian Shun.
“What? Su Xiaoliang isn’t coming? Ning Jing is here in her place?” Lian Shun was very surprised.
He came over and saw Duanmu Che and Ning Jing sitting silently, like two statues.
“Master Ning, I’m Lian Shun.” Lian Shun politely greeted, “Is Su Xiaoliang not feeling well
Ning Jing shook his head, “She’s not available.”
Duanmu Chen snorted coldly, “What a big shelf!”
Ning Jing remained calm and got up to leave
Lian Shun hurriedly pulled Ning Jing back, “He didn’t mean that! Don’t misunderstand!”
Ning Jing stopped and heard Lian Shun say to Duanmu Che, “Don’t forget what you promised me!”
Duanmu Chen remained silent with a stern face.
After finishing the acupuncture, Ning Jing left, and Lian Shun escorted him out before asking if Su Liang taught him his medical skills.
“Don’t call her that way.” Ning Jing said.
Lian Shun was stunned for a moment, realizing that Ning Jing was referring to the word “Xiao.” He laughed, “She doesn’t mind.”
“Others might misunderstand,” Ning Jing said.
Lian Shun’s smile seemed mocking, “If Master Ning doesn’t intend to marry her and insists on living with her, aren’t you afraid of others misunderstanding?”
Ning Jing’s face was calm, “It’s her who insisted on living with me.”
Lian Shun: .
When Ning Jing returned home, Su Liang was reading in her room. Hearing the noise, she didn’t come out but asked through the door if there had been any conflict with Duanmu Che.
Ning Jing said there wasn’t.
“Lian Shun thinks that me not marrying you and living together will cause others to misunderstand. What do you think?” Ning Jing asked.
Without lifting her head, Su Liang said, “Just say that it’s me who insists on living with you. Who said I have to get married? Will you get married in the future?”
Ning Jing shook his head, “I don’t have any plans for that.”
Su Liang sighed, “It’s not easy to find another partner who doesn’t need to hide secrets and live more comfortably. I don’t want to cook for myself either. You’ll do..”
