Pondering lightly Chu Mu added: “Xie Tingxing in the academy…look into it.. don’t let him be wronged”

Qin Ping: “Yes”

Chu Mu: “And the blue herb, throw it away”

Qin Ping was anxious: “Master think twice! This blue herb is helpful to your condition and it is too rare, we have to work so hard to get two of them. Once we throw it away we may not be able to get it back!”

Chu Mu: “I know”

“Then you still—”

“I already know”

He looked at Qin Ping coldly, he (Qin Ping) no longer dared to speak.

“It’s time to remind him of family affairs…” with a low voice Chu Mu suddenly laughed, “I seem to be sick”

Qin Ping almost pop out his eyes.

Master are you insane! You are ill now, and you still want to be sick!

Xie Tingyue sent his brother home and returned to his room where Chu Mu was waiting for him.

“Wife said that she would have a drink with me”

Sitting near the table with a jade-white gown, elegant eyes an intoxicating smile of a picturesque gentleman Chu Mu greeted Xie Tingyue.

Xie Tingyue smiled, sat beside him, and pour some wine for himself: “Xing’er came here today…I’m sorry”

Chu Mu smiled: “Brother is still young and I myself have done a lot of willful things at his age”

No matter how who listened to it, it has a deep meaning behind it.

Chu Mu wasn’t afraid of knowing what his ( Xie Tingyue) stupid brother did but, seeing it through and didn’t tell him?*

(TL: Chu Mu is upset since Xie Tingyue didn’ tell him that he know what he’s brother did)

Xie Tingyue raised his head in shock and other party smile back, gentle and deep.

Xie Tingyue: …

It’s a pity that such a smart person can’t use his ambitions because of physical illness.

Exclaiming in his heart, Xie Tingyue suddenly remembered that the other party could see through his younger brother then he must be able to see through him too—

There was no accidental encounter or prior engagement before but he suddenly agreed to the marriage. For what reason– the motive was not simple, Chu Mu must have a clear reason.

He knows but didn’t mind, even cooperated to help him…

Xie Tingyue suddenly felt fear: “Why are you… so good to me?”

“Huh?” Chu My grabbed the wine cup with his slender fingers and suddenly leaned forward, his eyes locked on him, tide surging in his eyes with ambiguity and warmth, “Do I need reasons, should I be bad to my wife?”

Xie Tingyue’s face suddenly became hot.

It’s…it’s not what I meant!

The trace of fear he had earlier instantly disappears, was replace instead of shame and reflection.

Doesn’t he know that we need to give back with each other? Wouldn’t it be right for Chu Mu to ask something in return? No, he has to find a way…

Chu Mu has what he wants. He (Xie Tingyue) seems to be able to give what Chu Mu wants, although he doesn’t know what it is.*

(TL:Xie Tingyue thinks that Chu Mu must have needed him for something or has something that Chu Mu needed that’s why he agrees to the marriage..)

Xie Tingyue feels right but feels a little confused.

It was as if the other party had woven a large dense net, dug a hole long ago and controlled the field, when he hit it, he foolishly and hurriedly fall into it.

“We… met before?”

The question was asked smoothly.

Chu Mu’s eyes paused and then a smile filled his eyes: “Do you remember?”
