In the evening, Long Liuju and Lian Ziluo held a banquet in the Water Pavilion to formally entertain Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue.
As soon as the banquet started, Long Liuju raised his glass to Murong, "Douyan, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, maybe my father would—"
"Uncle Long, don't be polite." Murong nodded and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about the relationship between me and Li Yuan, just talking about my identity as a doctor, it is impossible to be indifferent when encountering patients. . So you don't have to thank me, it's all right."
After speaking, Murong Qingyan drank the wine from the wine glass in his hand.
"It's Li Yuan's luck to have a good sister like you." Lian Ziluo said with a smile, "By the way, Qingyan, how is your health now? I heard that before, because I wanted to treat my father, You've been asleep for days."
"Aunt Long, don't worry." Murong smiled and shook her head, "I'm almost recovered now."
"That's good." There was a hint of apology on Lian Ziluo's face, "If you were injured because of us, then we would really be too embarrassed."
"I'm fine now." Murong smiled and shook his head, then glanced at the people on the table, and asked curiously, "Before, I heard that Li Yuan has a brother, why? Not here?"
"My brother is practicing outside now!" Long Liyuan hurriedly explained, "So not in the family."
"That's right." Lian Ziluo also smiled and nodded, "Zhanfei's child has been training outside for several years. In order to make him feel at ease, even if this happened to his father this time, we all I didn't notify him because I was afraid he would be distracted."
"So it is." Murong's face was clear, "This is also good. Going out to experience is the best way to improve your cultivation. Only by truly experiencing the battle of life and death can you unleash your greatest potential."
"My brother said the same thing." Long Liyuan stuck out her tongue, "He said that the family is too stable, and the improvement of cultivation is too slow, so he decided to go out to practice. Your thoughts, also It’s really similar! However, I actually think it’s pretty good. If you practice outside, you can improve your cultivation level and look at the scenery outside.”
It can be seen that Long Liyuan also yearns for such a life.
"You're a girl, it's better to stay in the family." Lian Ziluo disapproved, "Your brother is a boy, so he should go out for a bit. If you're a girl, stay in the family slowly. practiced."
After hearing Lian Ziluo's words, a trace of sadness flashed on Long Liyuan's face, but she did not continue to say anything.
The atmosphere became a little down for a while, Long Liuju quickly raised his glass and toasted Huangfu Jue and Rotorwing, "Young Master Huangfu, Young Master Rotorwing, I haven't toasted you yet! I'm here to toast you, I hope you are in the dragon You can have a good time at home.”
Huangfu Jue didn't say anything, just raised the glass, gestured, and then drank it all. The same goes for the rotor.
In this regard, Long Liuju did not say anything. He could see that Huangfu Jue and Rotor were not ordinary people. The fact that these two people can sit at the same table with him has already given him a lot of face.
After three rounds of drinking, Murong Qingyan suddenly asked, "By the way, Uncle Long, what happened to Patriarch Long that day, can you tell me again?"
Although it was very strange to ask such a sudden question from Murong Qingyan, Long Liuju recalled it and said, "On that day, only our three brothers were with my father. My father was waiting for us in the study. Later, we began to discuss the upcoming exchange meeting, but halfway through the conversation, my father suddenly covered his chest and collapsed. There was no sign at all before, and we were in When discussing things, my father didn't eat anything, not even a sip of tea."
"So that's the case." Murong's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he asked, "Did you order any incense or something in the place where you were discussing things that day?"
"No," Long Liuju replied decisively after recalling it, "We were discussing things in the study that day. My father always disliked things like aromatherapy, and felt it was too greasy."
"Qingyan, is there something wrong?" Long Liyuan on the side asked, "Or, what did you find?"
Murong Qingyan did not directly answer Long Liyuan's question, but looked at Long Liuju, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle Long, I wonder if you still remember what I said? It has long been poisoned, and the outbreak at that time was also because of being pulled out."
"I remember." Long Liuju nodded, and then asked with a little doubt, "But what does this have to do with what happened that day?"
"Perhaps I should say it like this!" Murong explained, "Soul refining is a very domineering poison, but after that person poisoned the Dragon family master, he didn't know what method he used to hide the poison in the dragon. Then, on that day, I tried to find a way to trigger the poison in the main body of the Long family. That is to say, the trigger of the poison was in the study. At that time, the Dragon family owner did not eat it. Anything, that is to say, the thing that pulled out the poison in his body was brought to the study by a certain person."
If the introduction was in the study, the Dragon family owner would have been poisoned long ago. This can only explain one problem, that is, the lead that triggered the poisonous hair of the head of the family was brought by one of the three brothers.
And the person who can trigger the poison in the main body of the dragon family, even if it is not the person who poisoned it, is definitely related.
"Impossible." Long Liuju retorted subconsciously, "Our brothers are in charge, and no one will harm my father."
He didn't want to believe this fact. Although in normal times, for the sake of inheritance, there are often frictions between the three brothers. But he absolutely did not believe that any brother would poison his father.
Therefore, when denying it, Long Liuju was a little excited, obviously unwilling to believe it.
"I'm just telling the truth." Unlike Long Liuju's excited emotions, Murong's face looked calmer, "As for what the truth is, I don't care, and I don't want to get to the bottom of it. It's just, I think, Would the poisoned person really just stop like this?"
After hearing Murong's words, Long Liuju fell silent. Because he found that at this time, he didn't know what to say. Moreover, Murong Qingyan was just a kind reminder.
"Qianyan, I'm sorry, your Uncle Long just couldn't accept it for a while." Lian Ziluo looked at Murong Qingyan apologetically and said, "He doesn't doubt you."
"I know." Murong nodded, showing no sign of anger. She looked at Long Liuju and continued, "Uncle Long, I know that some facts are cruel. However, escaping can't solve it. If you have any problems, you may end up hurting your loved ones. I'm just telling you my speculation. As for what to do in the end, it depends on your own decision. "
"Qianyan, thank you." Long Liuju forced a smile, "I will find a way to investigate this matter."
Although Long Liyuan didn't speak, she understood the meaning. She was extremely shocked in her heart. She had thought about who in the Long family wanted to harm her grandfather, but she had never doubted the two uncles. Now the facts are telling her that the person who wants to kill her grandfather is actually one of the two uncles.
This reality made it difficult for her to accept. After seeing the heavyness in her father's eyes, she still said nothing. Because she could see that her father should be more uncomfortable now than her!
"By the way, Qingyan, grandfather's poison—" Long Liyuan suddenly asked, but then she also found that it didn't seem good to say this at this time, and it seemed like she was urging Murong to show her face, she quickly explained. , "Qianyan, I'm not urging you, just—"
"I know, you're just worried about the Dragon Clan Master." Murong said with a smile, "Although the soul refining poison is domineering, it is not difficult to refine the antidote. Although it takes a certain amount of time, fortunately, I have all the medicinal materials needed to refine the antidote, so I don’t need to bother to look for it anymore.”
Long Liyuan's temperament, she is very clear, so naturally she will not misunderstand.
"That's really great." Long Liyuan had obvious joy on her face.
"Qingyan, how can this be done?" Long Liuju looked disapproving, "It's already a lot of trouble for you to refine the antidote for your father. Let's prepare the medicinal materials! What do you need? The medicinal materials, you can say it, and I will have someone prepare it."
"No need." Murong Qingyan shook her head with a smile, and said, "Uncle Long, I'm not being polite to you, but because the medicinal materials needed to refine the antidote will be ready for a while. , I'm afraid it's a very difficult thing. Even if the Long family is very powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do. "
"Are all the medicinal materials you need precious?" Lian Ziluo frowned, "Even if it is a precious medicinal material, we will definitely find it."
"Aunt Long, it's not because of its preciousness," Murong said with a smile on her face, "but some medicinal herbs are now very rare and almost impossible to find. But the poison in the main body of the Long family can't wait for this. It takes a lot of time, so let me prepare the medicinal materials!"
"But, this—" A trace of embarrassment appeared on Long Liuju's face. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Liyuan.
"Okay, father, don't talk about it anymore. Since the matter of medicinal herbs is already available, why should we go far?" Long Liyuan interrupted Long Liuju directly and said, "If you I really feel embarrassed, and then prepare a generous gift for Qingyan as a thank you, wouldn't it be good?"
After hearing Long Liyuan's words, Long Liuju woke up as if from a dream, and a helpless smile appeared on his face, "It seems that I want to change my mind, and I will show my face. If that's the case, then I will trouble you."
At the same time, he has secretly made a decision in his heart that he must prepare a generous gift for Murong Qingyan as a thank you.
"This is what I should do."
Probably because of what I said before, the atmosphere in the next banquet seemed a little gloomy. Although Long Liuju and Lian Ziluo had smiles on their faces, the worries in their eyes never faded.
In this regard, Murong Qingyan did not have any blame. No one can keep calm when they know that their brother may want to murder their father.
The reception banquet ended early.
When the banquet was over, when Long Liyuan looked at Murong, her eyes were full of guilt. Originally, I planned to entertain the show, but in the end, although this banquet was not an unhappy breakup, it was not much better.
Facing Long Liyuan's guilty look, Murong smiled soothingly, expressing her understanding. She can understand Long Liuju's mood, so naturally she won't blame it. Moreover, if it is really said, this matter is still exposed by her! If we really got to the bottom of it, she was the culprit who ruined the atmosphere.
After knowing that Murong Qingyan didn't blame herself, Long Liyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the banquet was over, Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue also returned to their room.
She had slept for several days, so even though it was time to rest, Murong Qingyan didn't feel sleepy anymore.
On a whim, she looked at Huangfu Jue and suggested, "Je, otherwise, let's go see the stars!"
After hearing Murong Qingyan's sudden suggestion, Huangfu Jue was stunned for a moment, but nodded immediately, "Okay."
He would never refuse what Murong Qingyan wanted to do, let alone something as small as looking at the stars. How could he make Murong look sad!
Soon, the two were sitting on the roof.
Murong raised her head and looked at the sky full of stars, she couldn't help taking a deep breath, and a relaxed smile formed on the corner of her mouth. I have to say that the sky in this era is really clean, probably because there is not so much pollution! The twinkling stars in the sky were indeed beautiful.
Murong Qingyan was looking at the stars, while Huangfu Jue was looking at Murong Qingyan. When he saw the relaxed smile on Murong's face, infinite tenderness appeared on his face.
"Je, you say, are the stars in the sky beautiful?" Murong looked at Huangfu Jue with a face, and asked with a smile, "Do you like watching it?"
"It's beautiful." Looking at Murong's smiling face, Huangfu Jue nodded and said, "I like watching it for a lifetime."
Facing Huangfu Jue's fiery eyes, Murong's cheeks suddenly turned as red as a ripe apple, she said angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm talking about stars again."
"I'm talking about you." Huangfu Jue still looked at Murong with a face full of deep affection, "I like to see you smiling like this, and I hope you can smile like this for the rest of your life."
"Yes." Murong looked at Huangfu Jue, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes, "As long as you are by my side, I will always have this smile."
All along, Huangfu Jue has been accommodating and accompanying her. She knew that the reason why she was able to walk so fast and so steadily was not only because of her own efforts, but also because of Huangfu Jue's escort. Without Huangfu Jue's escort, she would never have achieved what she is today.
"I will always be by your side." Huangfu Jue stretched out her hand to wrap Murong's face, and said firmly, "No matter what happens, I will never leave you."
"I believe in you." There was a hint of sweetness in Murong's smiling face, "Je, in fact, I think this kind of life is pretty good, being able to watch the stars here quietly like you."
"Well." Huangfu Jue said softly, "As long as you want, we can look at the stars like we are now."
Hearing Huangfu Jue's straightforward words, Murong Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, "Jue, you are really too cute."
She doesn't like looking at the stars like this, what she likes is being able to be with Huangfu Jue as she is now. Even if it's not looking at the stars, but just two people staying together quietly, she feels very comfortable.
However, after hearing Murong's words, Huangfu Jue's forehead drew a few black lines, "Yan'er, men shouldn't be described as cute."
"Pfft—" Seeing Huangfu Jue's serious appearance, Murong Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, I see."
Seeing the bright smile on Murong Qingyan's face, a hint of helplessness flashed across Huangfu Jue's face. However, he did not continue to say anything.
The two just sat on the roof looking at the stars and didn't speak any further. But the atmosphere between the two is that no one can intervene.
In a yard on the other side, Long Liyun was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. As long as she remembered the humiliation that Murong had shown to her during the day, she felt that she couldn't let out the anger in her stomach, and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
Especially, after Murong Qingyan humiliated her, she still couldn't retaliate, because now Murong Qingyan was the one who could save her grandfather. Not only that, it's really unfair for a slut like Murong Qingyan to have such an outstanding man by his side.
Now Murong Qingyan is so arrogant in the Long family, if she cures her grandfather, she becomes the benefactor of the Long family. At that time, there is no doubt that something more extreme will be done. At that time, how could she, the third young lady of the Long family, still have a foothold
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. At this moment, she couldn't help but remember what Long Liyu said today. As long as Murong Qingyan could not cure his grandfather, or made his grandfather sicker, at that time, Murong Qingyan would definitely be punished.
if-
No, there is absolutely no way to think like that. Grandfather is the pillar of the Long family. Only when the grandfather is good can the Long family be better. So, no matter what, you must not do anything against your grandfather. Moreover, in normal times, her grandfather treated them so well as their juniors, and she couldn't do anything to hurt her grandfather.
Thinking of this, Long Liyun quickly shook her head, trying to throw out all the bad thoughts in her mind.
However, once such an idea appeared, it began to take root in her mind and grew wildly. Even if she wanted to remove it, there was no way.
Slowly, another thought came to her mind.
In fact, maybe Murong's show could not cure his grandfather's illness at all? She was just pretending, if she could really be cured, why is her grandfather still in a coma
Or maybe, the only person who can cure grandfather's illness is Murong Yanyan! Isn't the Song family also an alchemy family? As long as the people of the Song family go out, they will definitely be able to cure the grandfather.
After she chased Murong Qingyan away, she would go and ask Sister Liyu to send a letter to the Song family, and ask the Song family to send someone to heal her grandfather. Isn't that okay
If that's the case, then she didn't kill her grandfather, did she? As long as the grandfather is healed, it doesn't matter who heals it
Thinking of this, Long Liyun felt as if her whole body had just opened up.
That's right, she didn't want to harm her grandfather, she just wanted to drive away Murong Qingyan. In the end, the Song family will definitely be able to cure their grandfather. At that time, Murong Qingyan will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will yell at him. She doesn't have to have any scruples anymore, she can punish Murong Qingyan severely.
Not only that, but that Huangfu Jue will also leave Murong to show his face. Such an excellent man, a slut like Murong Qingyan is simply not worthy of it.
Thinking of this, it seemed that she had seen such a scene happen, and Long Liyun couldn't help but snicker in her heart. At the same time, she also secretly made a decision, that is, no matter what, she must find a way to drive Murong Qingyan out of the Long family.
However, she didn't know that it was because of one of her decisions that she would get herself into endless trouble.
