The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

Chapter 177 Admiration

As soon as Yunli entered the door, he saw Yan Mingzhi with a distressed look on his face.

"Why are you looking so sad? What happened?"

Yunli asked with a smile as he put his book away.

Yan Mingzhi didn't answer. He looked her up and down and asked, "It's OK that you didn't come yesterday, but why did you come so late today?"

"I moved to the orphanage. It will be late if I don't clean up now. Yesterday I slept at home and drank some wine."

"I heard that you got drunk after taking one sip the day before yesterday! Did you get drunk again yesterday because you refused to admit defeat?"

Speaking of this, Yan Mingzhi couldn't help but make a few jokes.

"Listen to their nonsense. How can I get drunk easily after just one sip? I can still drink a few glasses."

Yunli felt a little embarrassed.

It’s true that good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

She suspected that her master had heard about her drunkenness. "If you don't believe me, come to my place tonight and have a couple of drinks. I'll let you see how much I can drink!"

Yan Mingzhi waved his hand and said, "Let's not do that. If you stay drunk for three days, I'm afraid the Master won't be able to find anyone else and will come to settle the score with me."

Yunli ignored his teasing and asked the same question again, "Why are you looking so sad? Also, what did you say when you went to see Miss Gu the other day?"

When Yan Mingzhi heard about Miss Gu, the smile on his face disappeared, and his words became bitter, "Miss Gu came to the academy for her studies. Let's not mention it again in the future."

Yunli understood after hearing this.

Either Miss Gu doesn't know him at all, or Miss Gu doesn't like him.

"We just met, so it's normal that we're not familiar with each other. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, knowing that you are a talented writer and have won first place in the imperial examination, I can be more confident when we propose marriage."

Yunli comforted and encouraged.

She knew that Yan Mingzhi planned to take the imperial examination in the spring of next year. With his ability, it would be easy for him to get the top spot.

If you wait until you become an official before proposing marriage, you can also give yourself an extra bargaining chip.

"Thank you for your good words." The smile on Yan Mingzhi's face became more sincere.

Yunli looked at his smile without blinking, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

It’s strange. Yan Mingzhi is not bad looking, so why does his smile look so ordinary to me, while Liu Junming’s smile can bloom into my heart?

"Why are you looking at me, Ali? Is there something on my face?"

Yunli came back to his senses and realized that he had been distracted. He quickly smiled and said, "No, I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Yan Mingzhi was a little curious.

Yunli thought for a moment and whispered to him, "Junming was attacked in my yard yesterday. That's why I moved back to the courtyard today."

"So dangerous?" Yan Mingzhi was surprised. "Is he injured anywhere?"

Yunli was silent for a while before asking, "I kicked you twice, does that count as an injury?"

Yan Mingzhi: "...Why did you kick him?"

"The situation was somewhat urgent at the time. Anyway, I didn't do it on purpose." Yunli's eyes were a little evasive, but thinking that Liu Junming was still in danger, he said, "What kind of person do you think would attack him?"

"It's hard to say. When he was in the capital, I never heard of anyone daring to attack him. But if you ask who wants to attack him, I'm afraid there are countless people. You know his stinky face."

Yan Mingzhi gave Yunli a look that everyone in the world knew, "He just has the ability to make everyone angry. Sometimes things that have nothing to do with him will eventually be blamed on him. It's just that everyone is afraid to break up with him because of the right prime minister."

"The problem is that everything was fine for more than two months. But after this group of students went up the mountain, things started to get complicated."

Yunli was wondering about this. "Do you think there are any new students who have a grudge against him, so they brought people here to attack him?"

Yan Mingzhi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Aren't all the people here noble ladies? They have no connection with him, so there's no need to take such a risky move."

"What if Liu Junming has offended the brothers of the noble ladies?"

The thoughts in the cloud spread to the sky.

Yan Mingzhi still shook his head and said with a smile: "Every noble lady who can enter the school this time is of great origin, and her status is no less noble than that of Brother Junming. Brother Junming used to disdain to pay attention to those whose family background is too low, but he would not take the initiative to provoke the noble children of the same family background. If there really was something that I don't know about, I think the other party would not tolerate it until now, and it should have been resolved in the capital."

"However, it is not ruled out that there are people who are narrow-minded and hold grudges until now."

Yunli was listening at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt uncomfortable.

She simply looked at Yan Mingzhi and asked, "Brother Mingzhi, were you referring to me with your last sentence? After all, I have been holding a grudge against you for three years."

Yan Mingzhi chuckled, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered this matter, hahaha. Ali not only holds a grudge, it seems he can't stand the truth."

What nonsense!

She and her brother are very close, but her brother is playing tricks on her?

Can you still talk properly? She was talking about Liu Junming, and she was stabbed in the face by a sudden attack!

"It was my fault! To express my apology, I am willing to sacrifice my life to accompany you and have a few drinks with you tonight!"

Yunli calmed down and said, "I was planning to invite Xie Huarong and Lin Le and my two junior brothers to a banquet tonight, but I haven't told them about it yet. Since you know you are wrong, I will punish you to help me invite them."

"It's not difficult, just don't worry!"

Yan Mingzhi smiled and took the responsibility.

Yunli smiled triumphantly.

This guy must have been trapped in love these past two days, so he had no idea that Lin Lehe and Xie Huarong had quarreled.

If Yan Mingzhi wanted to invite these two people to the banquet, he would have to use all his skills and make full use of his eloquence.

After setting a trap for someone, Yunli was in a good mood. He took out a travel journal with a cover of The Analects of Confucius and started reading it.

After just looking at it for a while, my thoughts started to wander again.

The news about these new noble ladies kept running through my mind.

The only person related to Liu Junming is Shen Qingzhu.

If it was Shen Qingzhu who attacked Liu Junming, this is simply impossible.

Although Yunli's previous intelligence did not mention that Shen Qingzhu admired Liu Junming, during the few days they spent together, the look in Shen Qingzhu's eyes when she looked at Liu Junming was clearly full of admiration.

It is possible that Shen Qingzhu turned from love to hate, but it is absolutely impossible for her to turn from love to hate before giving up.

From what we can see so far, Liu Junming has not offended Shen Qingzhu to death, so Yunli does not think that Shen Qingzhu would be so cruel to Liu Junming.

Moreover, she was right next to Liu Junming at the time, so it would be better to kill her than to kill Liu Junming.
