Chapter 2199: Spring is not too late

Ming Lian glanced at Ming Chen and seeing how calm he was, the anger that had just subsided resurfaced.

"You are only nine years old! How dare you act like this? Go back and tell your mother and see how she punishes you!"

He also knew that his youngest son had always been the most opinionated, but this time he was too bold and presumptuous!

Mingchen looked at his old father again and just blinked, with no fear on his face.

By this time, it was almost dawn.

Minglian raised three sons. The eldest and second sons were outstanding and were praised by everyone in the capital. But Mingchen, the youngest son, was too opinionated and caused him so much trouble at the age of nine.

"Go away, go away, don't stand in front of me." Ming Lian frowned and waved his hand impatiently to send him away.

After a night of shock and fear and soaking in the river water for such a long time, Shili developed a high fever as expected.

Everyone was already prepared, and the doctor was waiting nearby. He took her pulse, prescribed some medicine, and told her to rest and recuperate for a few days.

Gu Mama got the news, and seeing that Shi Li was still unconscious, she was reluctant to disturb her. She also felt that Shi Yu was not capable enough to take charge, so she had the maid who pushed Shi Yu arrested and sent to Ming Lian.

When the real evidence was presented, Minglian was shocked.

He actually thought that Shi Li's falling into the water was an accident. He never thought that he would be so innocent one day.

Without saying a word, Ming Lian had the maid tied up and sent to the local government office, instructing the officials to interrogate her to find out more about the river bandits, thus eliminating a scourge for the people.

After dealing with this matter, Ming Lian remembered Shi Li. It happened that Nanny Gu had not left yet, so he discussed with her to go ashore and rest for three days, and then set off again after Shi Li had fully recovered.

Nanny Gu felt more sorry for Shi Li's suffering than he did, so she naturally agreed and thanked Ming Lian for his consideration.

Ming Lian felt a little embarrassed. After all, Shi Li had suffered this under his care, and he felt uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, he called Mingchen over again.

He asked him to bring some precious medicinal herbs and go to visit Shi Li on his behalf.

Mingchen nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and looked back at his old father. "Has the spy from the Shi family been sent to the government?"

Minglian was stunned.

He looked his son up and down again and asked in disbelief, "How did you know there was a spy?"

"How can there be so many coincidences?"

Ming Chen lowered his eyelids slightly, his dark eyes looked at the ground, then turned to look at Ming Lian, "Just catch him."

Watching him walk out, Ming Lian once again deeply felt that his son was no ordinary person.

During the day, the sun is shining brightly and the wind is gentle by the river.

Most of the people nearby heard a little about what happened last night, so they didn't dare to get too close and stayed away.

Shi Li felt drowsy after taking the medicine and only woke up in a daze in the afternoon.

The first thing he saw was Shi Yu sitting beside the bed, her beautiful eyes red and swollen from crying, but he was afraid of disturbing her, so he endured the pain and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Sister...it's all my fault. I got you into trouble."

Shi Yu dared to speak only after seeing Shi Li wake up. Yesterday, the situation was critical and she didn't even dare to cry freely. Now that she knew Shi Li was sick again, she felt even more guilty.

Shi Li stared at her eyes, feeling helpless. He raised his hand to wipe her tears and said half-jokingly, "I already have a headache, and your crying makes it even worse. It really is made of water."

Shi Yu was in a state where she didn't know whether to cry or not. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away weakly, "Sister is laughing at me."

"It's better to laugh than to cry, otherwise it will waste tea. Go and pour me some tea."

Shi Li sat up slowly and ordered her as a matter of course. Shi Yu naturally didn't say anything, and hurriedly poured hot tea, then hurried over and offered it to Shi Li with both hands.

The two sisters were whispering in the room when Nanny Gu walked in from outside.

"Master Ming is here, bringing gifts to visit the young lady."

Shi Li had to see her savior, but Shi Yu was a little dazed, because she was crying so hard that her face was covered with tears and her eyes were swollen. She was too embarrassed to see outsiders, so she hid behind the screen.

Just as I hid, Mingchen walked in.

Shi Li naturally thanked him sincerely again, thanking him for his efforts to save her yesterday and thanking him for visiting her today.

"You did a good job yesterday. You distracted the thieves. Otherwise, I might not have been able to rescue you."

Mingchen said that the gifts Minglian asked him to bring had been handed over to Gu Mama before he came in. But this time, he took out a sheathed dagger from his sleeve and pretended to hand it to Shi Li.

"What is this?" Shi Li didn't react for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

Mingchen handed it over firmly, "I'm giving you the dagger I used yesterday for self-defense in the future."

A girl in the boudoir naturally did not dare to carry such a sharp weapon with her, but thinking of her own predicament yesterday when she was in danger, Shi Li reached out to take this special gift.

This day and night made her feel particularly close to Mingchen, and she called him "Brother Mingchen" sweetly.
