Chapter 334 Love at First Sight
After hearing what Meng Zhiyuan said, Mrs. Meng didn't say anything else, but the expression on her face seemed somewhat complicated and deep.
Su Qing just sat there quietly, also without any action or words in response. The atmosphere of the whole scene suddenly became extremely awkward and dull.
Meng Zhiyuan noticed the strange atmosphere at the scene. She frowned slightly, but soon smiled again.
She slowly stood up, walked towards Su Qing, sat down beside her, and said softly, "I've heard that you are an excellent doctor, and I have always admired you. Moreover, I have also dabbled in medicine and often study it alone. I wonder if you would like to go out with me? We can communicate with each other and discuss the way of medicine together, how about it?"
Su Qing looked at Meng Zhiyuan's bright and sincere smile, and a warm current surged in her heart. She found that Meng Zhiyuan's smile seemed to have a special infectious power, which made people want to get close to her. At the same time, Su Qing also thought that since Meng Zhiyuan would become her fifth sister-in-law in the future, and she was really quite good and got along well with her, and they did not need to deal directly with Mrs. Meng. So Su Qing nodded and agreed happily: "Okay, let's go together. I wonder where my sister wants to go?"
"Jishitang is opened by my sister?"
"Yes."
"How about you teach me how to identify medicinal herbs, sister?" Meng Zhiyuan looked at Su Qing expectantly.
"Yuan'er~ It's getting late today, let's stop bothering you and go back home!" Mrs. Meng looked at her excited daughter and reminded her.
"Mother, please go back first. Sister Su and I hit it off right away and I want to talk to her more." Meng Zhiyuan pulled Su Qing's hand and said coquettishly.
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Madam Meng: "Yuan'er, please don't be unreasonable. How can you call the young marquis's wife a sister?"
Madam Meng's tone was a little harsh, which made Meng Zhiyuan feel a little wronged, but she still insisted on her own idea and retorted: "Why not? If it's in the future, we can talk about it in the future. Now I will call her sister, which is more intimate. Madam Hou, I will go out with Sister Su first, and come to see you another day."
After saying that, Meng Zhiyuan didn't care about Mrs. Meng's reaction, he directly took Su Qing's arm and walked out. Su Qing didn't even have time to say anything before she was half-dragged out of the door by Meng Zhiyuan.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Mrs. Meng shook her head helplessly, while Mrs. Hou smiled with relief. She thought this little girl was very interesting and liked her straightforward personality. Perhaps, this was also a kind of fate...
Meng Zhiyuan pulled Su Qing all the way to the yard before letting her go.
"I'm really sorry, Sister Su! I hope you can be magnanimous and not take it to heart with my mother. Actually, my mother didn't mean any harm. She just heard some things about you from others, so she showed that attitude." Meng Zhiyuan looked at Sister Su sincerely, his words were earnest and full of apology.
Su Qing smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care: "It doesn't matter, I don't take it to heart, I'm used to it." Her tone was nonchalant, as if this kind of thing was already commonplace.
Meng Zhiyuan nodded quickly and agreed, "Yeah, I also think you are a very nice person, sister. Although this is the first time we meet, I can feel that you are not as bad as they describe. Those people are simply talking nonsense!" She frowned, very dissatisfied with those who spread rumors.
"But I still have to thank my sister for helping me out. If it weren't for you, today would not have ended well." Su Qing looked at Meng Zhiyuan gratefully.
"Hehe, why should you thank me! I also can't stand those gossiping women. But my mother believes them, and I can't do anything about it. By the way, sister, let's go to Jishidiang!" Meng Zhiyuan pulled Su Qing and walked towards Jishidiang.
Arriving at Jishidiang, the aroma of various herbs filled the air. Meng Zhiyuan looked around excitedly, asking questions non-stop.
Su Qing patiently answered Meng Zhiyuan's questions, and from time to time she picked up some herbs to explain their medicinal properties and uses to her.
"So this is Coptis chinensis. I heard it's very bitter!" Meng Zhiyuan observed the Coptis chinensis carefully.
"Well, Coptis chinensis is cold and bitter in taste. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying." Su Qing said with a smile.
Meng Zhiyuan nodded, "Wow, sister is amazing, you know so much!"
"I have been dealing with these herbs for many years, so I naturally became familiar with them over time." Su Qing said modestly.
The two chatted while identifying medicinal herbs, and before they knew it, an afternoon had passed. Meng Zhiyuan gained a lot and became more interested in medicine.
"Xiaoyue, I'm here to pick you up." Li Shang came to pick up Li Yue. His voice was clear and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing past his ears.
Before he finished speaking, Li Shang's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on a beautiful and elegant woman - that was Meng Zhiyuan.
Meng Zhiyuan stood there quietly, like a blooming lotus, exuding a faint fragrance. Her eyes were as clear as water, but with a hint of barely perceptible sadness. When she raised her head, her eyes met Li Shang's. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped flowing.
An indescribable feeling surged in Li Shang's heart. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. Her every frown and smile were deeply imprinted in his heart. Meng Zhiyuan was also attracted by Li Shang's deep eyes, which seemed to hide endless stories and emotions.
This time, when they looked up at each other, it was as if fate had arranged that the two strangers' souls resonated with each other in an instant.
Their eyes intertwined, as if an invisible bond tightly connected them. At that moment, they both forgot the hustle and bustle around them, and only the existence of each other remained.
Time passed by, but the two never took their eyes off each other. They seemed to be immersed in a world with only the two of them, feeling each other's warmth and breath.
This brief encounter became an eternal moment in their lives, which they will never forget...
Li Shang retracted his gaze, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealed a smile, and was the first to speak: "Madam Hou is here too! Is there a guest coming to Jishidi Hall today?" His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible charm. After speaking, his eyes slowly moved to Meng Zhiyuan, revealing a subtle tenderness in his eyes.
Meng Zhiyuan felt an inexplicable nervousness in her heart. She lowered her head and dared not look Li Shang in the eye. However, her voice was still clearly audible: "Sister Su, may I ask who this gentleman is?" There was a hint of curiosity in her tone, mixed with a little expectation.
Su Qing naturally noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two, and she sighed inwardly. She knew that Meng Zhiyuan had special feelings for Li Shang, but the reality was cruel. Meng Zhiyuan and Su Jinqi were going to get married on the eighth day of next month. This was a decree issued by the emperor himself, and no one could change this fact.
Su Qing looked at Meng Zhiyuan and said softly, "You will marry my fifth brother next month. No matter how good Li Shang is, you can't ask another man here, right?" Although her words were reproachful, they were more helpless and regretful. She didn't intend to favor Su Jinqi, but things had developed to this point and she was powerless.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense. I'm just asking casually."
Looking at Meng Zhiyuan's shy look, you can tell that she fell in love with Li Shang at first sight. And looking at Li Shang staring at Meng Zhiyuan, you can't help but feel a little sorry, the two of them are really a good match.
