The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 38 Hint
Lin Bai agreed immediately.

You can't hide from it. If you don't go today, you will have to go tomorrow.

Some people even come to your door in person.

"Since we have picked dates today, let's bring some to Miss Pei." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"That's right. You have to be polite." Doctor Bai had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his words.

"I'll pick some good ones." Although Xiuxiu loved to manage money, she was not stingy. She immediately picked up a lot of red dates.

After tying up the paper bag, the maid led the way, and Lin Bai and Xiuxiu followed.

"Sister, what have you been doing recently?" Lin Bai asked with a smile while walking on the road.

The maid glanced down and said with a smile, "He is in the government office. Everyone in the county knows about it."

"What is the county magistrate's wife busy with?" Lin Bai asked again.

The maid smiled even more, stopped, looked Lin Bai up and down, and whispered: "Just take care of yourself, the lady will make her own arrangements, and I will have to pass on the message when the time comes."

So you're her pimp, right? She'll enjoy the good life while you drink the soup?

There was nothing to be learned from this kind of person, so Lin Bai shut up.

They soon arrived at the county government office and entered from the back door, with the maid leading the way.

It was the same pavilion again, and Pei Ning was still wearing the same green dress.

He was holding a sword in his hand, sitting on a stone bench, with tea, fruits and snacks on the stone table.

When she came up to him, the maid bowed gracefully and then left.

"Come!" Pei Ning waved at Xiuxiu without even looking at Lin Bai's greeting.

Lin Bai didn't care. He bowed and stood aside, just looking at Xiuxiu without looking away.

"Master." Xiuxiu didn't call her sister this time. She held the paper bag and said timidly, "The freshly picked dates are so crisp."

"Isn't it sweet?" Pei Ning took the paper bag with a smile and took Xiuxiu's hand, "Sit down and talk."

"Not as sweet as last year." Xiuxiu was honest and didn't show off like she used to in front of Lin Bai.

"It may be because there has been too much rain this year. Peaches and apricots are not very sweet." Pei Ning's tone was very gentle, and he wiped the sweat from Xiuxiu's forehead with his sleeve.

She has no handkerchief.

Xiuxiu suddenly tensed up and sat up straight.

Lin Bai wanted to laugh when he saw this. This girl was usually very outgoing and talkative, but for some reason, she seemed a little afraid of Pei Ning.

"Try this." Pei Ning picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu took it, opened her mouth, and looked at Lin Bai.

"Eat." Lin Bai said.

Xiuxiu started eating immediately.

Pei Ning had a smile on his face, but when he saw this scene, he immediately glanced at Lin Bai with displeasure.

Lin Bai didn't dare to say a word, thinking that you were acting like you were vying for favor.

"Is Doctor Bai feeling better?" Pei Ning asked Lin Bai.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bai still has a short cough. He will be fine after a few days of rest." Lin Bai bowed.

"Just take good care of it."

Pei Ning nodded, smiled, and asked, "You are not young anymore, why haven't you married yet?"

Are you free?

Lin Bai bowed again and said, "My family is poor and I don't have any extra money. How can I dare to marry a wife?"

"What's so hard about this?"

Pei Ning smiled and continued, "I went to the Xue family a few days ago. They have a legitimate daughter who is kind-hearted, beautiful, and rich. What's rare is that she is sensible. I think she would be a good wife. How about I be the matchmaker?"

Lin Bai felt a headache and quickly replied, "I am a country bumpkin, I don't have the fortune to enjoy it." "Master uncle, ahem, Master uncle," Xiuxiu took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Are you married?"

Pei Ning reached out and brushed away the sesame seeds from the corners of Xiuxiu's mouth, shook his head and smiled: "I will never marry in this life."

"How can you not get married?" Xiuxiu frowned, as if she couldn't understand. "If you don't get married, you can't have children. If you don't have children, who will take care of you in your old age? When you are too old to walk, there will be no one to serve you tea or water."

Xiuxiu has lived in a small county town for many years and has a narrow vision. She thinks about providing for Dr. Bai in his old age every day, so she thinks it is natural to raise a son to provide for his old age.

"I'm too old to walk..." Pei Ning seemed touched by this sentence, and shook his head slightly, saying, "No. If I need someone to help me walk, what's the point of living? If that happens, I will definitely not be alive."

When Lin Bai heard these decisive words, he thought that her "Ning" really meant "Ning" which means rather die in glory than live in disgrace!
Xiuxiu seemed to understand but not quite.

"Sir, if everything is fine, we will go back first." Lin Bai said goodbye.

"You go first." Pei Ning waved his hand and said, "I still have some medical questions that I want to ask Xiuxiu for advice."

Didn't they say they had found some herbal medicine before? Now they were discussing medical principles? Lin Bai didn't believe it at all.

But Pei Ning's vision was truly vicious, as she had spotted Xiuxiu's bad habit of being a know-it-all.

As expected, Xiuxiu got excited and said seriously, "Just ask me, I will definitely teach you." She also pointed at Lin Bai and said, "I taught him to identify herbs and take pulses before. He called me Pharmacist Xiuxiu! Now he is so capable that he can even treat gynecology."

“…” Lin Bai was speechless.

But it doesn't matter if Xiuxiu stays. Even a blind man can see that Pei Ning likes Xiuxiu.

Pei Ning couldn't help laughing and looked at Lin Bai, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: You really know how to coax children.

"Then I'll take my leave first and come back to pick you up in the evening." Lin Bai saluted Pei Ning.

"I know the way, no need to pick me up." Xiuxiu was very confident.

"I'll take her back, don't worry." Pei Ning smiled, without even looking at Lin Bai, and continued, "I'll be busy in the next two days, I'm afraid I won't have time to visit Xiuxiu, I'll chat with her for a while."

Busy? Isn't it busy to be in the government office recently?
Lin Bai took his leave and returned the same way.

When I walked out of the small garden and approached the back door of the county government office, I saw someone waiting there.

It was Ren Qiaoyun and that pretty maid.

This is a good opportunity to find out.

"Sister." Lin Bai said sweetly.

Ren Qiaoyun gave a wink, and the maid glanced at Lin Bai and went to keep watch.

"Didn't I tell you to come and play from time to time? Why haven't you come for several days?" Ren Qiaoyun was a little displeased.

"The clinic is really too busy. Even though I miss you very much, I really can't get away." Lin Bai refused helplessly.

"Bring Miss Xiuxiu here more often in the future, so you can become familiar with her." Ren Qiaoyun smiled, and immediately a hint of love appeared between her brows. She asked tenderly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do I feel that you have become paler?"

"I think he got it stuck in the clinic." Lin Bai evaded the question casually and asked, "I just heard Miss Pei say that she will be busy in the next two days. What is she going to do? Is there anything I can help with?"

"I'm afraid you can't help. You know that guy named Jiang? He's dead! I don't know which bastard killed him on the way."

Ren Qiaoyun said without any sadness, "The day my brother died, I knew he was a tough guy. He refused to let me collect the body, saying he wanted to find the murderer. Bullshit!"

Then why did you sleep with him? Lin Bai was shocked and said, "Brother Jiang died? How long ago did it happen? I thought he was a handsome man. What a pity..."

"I discovered it a long time ago, but Miss Pei didn't tell anyone about it." Ren Qiaoyun said again.

"Miss Pei, do you want to conduct a thorough investigation?" Lin Bai asked.

"What are you investigating? Miss Pei is so annoyed with him that she doesn't want to get involved."

Ren Qiaoyun looked around and whispered, "Miss Pei said that Elder Tong is coming, and he has brought a lot of people with him, and he is determined to find the murderer."

Lin Bai nodded, prevaricated for a long time, and finally left.

On the way back, I felt something was wrong.

Although Pei Ning was a bit ruthless in his actions, he was meticulous and methodical. Why would he tell Ren Qiaoyun about the important matters of his sect?
She clearly looked down on this coquettish woman. She knew that I had hooked up with Ren Qiaoyun... Could it be that Pei Ning deliberately let me know?
Are you telling me to be more honest lately?
"Am I not honest enough?" Lin Bai said to himself.
