"Miss Song, please rest well. Just tell them if you need anything."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Song Ning walked into the room, which was indeed nicely furnished. It was a suite, with the bedroom inside.

As soon as the door opened and she stepped inside, Song Ning's face turned green.

Then he started sneezing and had a runny nose, and finally he hurriedly ran out of the yard.

Achoo! Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

"Are you alright, young lady?" A servant rushed forward.

"Ahhhhhhh... Achoo..."

"Who put those flowers in the room? What do they smell like?"

"Yes, it was the general who ordered us to put them here. He said the young lady would be staying here tonight, so he asked us to put some flowers and plants here."

Song Ning was bewildered. Were those just some? There was clearly a whole roomful.

And that unknown smell in the house, mixed with the flowers, was absolutely awful.

Song Ning now understood that Xie Linzhou was there to mess with her. He found her amusing and was trying to find ways to make her look foolish.

She was so naive to believe Xie Linzhou's nonsense.

She said, "Of all the people, why did Xie Linzhou choose her? Does he think she's easy to bully?"

She was even thinking of becoming sworn brothers with him, but forget it. If things continue like this, she'll be sold out by Xie Linzhou and still have to count the money for him.

Song Ning took a deep breath outside, finally breathing in fresh air, and pointed inside: "Bring all the flowers out of here."

The servants dared not disobey; General Zhang had said that Miss Song was a distinguished guest of the manor.

The two quickly moved all the flowers out of the house, opened the windows and doors to ventilate the room for a long time before Song Ning dared to go inside.

The servant was worried: "Miss Song, are you alright? We must report this to the general."

"No need, I'm fine. The general is busy right now, so it's best not to disturb him. You can all go and rest; there's no need to stay here and guard."

She didn't know whether the two servants had reported to Xie Linzhou, but the next day, as soon as it was dawn and the servants of the Xie family hadn't made a move, Song Ning got up and ran away.
