Nangong Jin put his hand on Xu Miaomiao's wrist and pulled the woman straight into the tent. Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Miaomiao immediately ran away from Nangong Jin and let him let go of her hand.

Nangong Jin then realized his abruptness and quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "I'm sorry, Madam Xu, please forgive my intrusion."

But it was precisely because of this action that the wound on his chest was involved, which made Nangong Jin frown. Xu Miaomiao quickly pulled him to sit down, "Come and sit down, Nangong, let me take a look at your wound."

No matter what, it was Nangong Jin who saved me just now. If I ignore his injuries, it would be too much.

Xu Miaomiao pulled open Nangong Jin's collar, and the boy's snow-white and strong body was exposed to the air, making Nangong Jin's cheeks slightly red. But at this moment, in Xu Miaomiao's eyes, Nangong Jin was just a patient, and she didn't think too much about it. She took out the hemostatic medicine from her sleeve and applied it on Nangong Jin's wound. The pain from the medicine made Nangong Jin frown.

"Does it hurt?"

Xu Miaomiao asked, but Nangong Jin gritted his teeth and smiled, shaking his head at Xu Miaomiao: "It doesn't hurt."

It was precisely because of these two words that Xu Miaomiao felt at ease and bandaged the wound carefully.

"Thank you, Mr. Nangong, for what happened today."

Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth to thank the man in front of her. Hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Nangong Jingang was stunned with joy: "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? If something happens to you in this military camp, it is also my responsibility. Protecting your safety is what I should do."

"There's one thing I don't understand." Xu Miaomiao was a little embarrassed and pulled the sleeve of her hand to interrupt Nangong Jin.

Seeing the woman's appearance, Nangong Jin immediately said, "Madam Xu, if you have something to say, please feel free to speak up."

"Do Miss Song and Princess Jiahe often come to the military camp?"

When these two names were mentioned, Nangong Jin's expression changed. His face, which had become somewhat gentle, became as cold as before. He spoke in a distant and indifferent tone, "General Song is one of my subordinates. Song Zhijin likes these things, so I allowed her to come and go as she pleases. Unexpectedly, I allowed them to become like this. It's my fault for not managing them strictly. Madam Xu, don't worry, such things will definitely not happen again in the future."

"No, no." Xu Miaomiao immediately waved her hand: "That's not what I meant. I just want to ask, General Song, do you also admire Mr. Nangong?"

Xu Miaomiao knew that this was a bit abrupt, but it was better to say it out loud than to keep it in her heart. Sure enough, when Nangong Jin heard this, he frowned and looked a little unhappy. Thinking that she had said something wrong, Xu Miaomiao quickly touched her head awkwardly and said, "I am abrupt, Nangong, please don't mind it!"

"It's okay." Nangong Jin shook his head and continued, "I don't know what she feels for me, but I already have someone in my heart. Even if there are thousands of Song Zhijins, my heart is not here."

As he spoke, Nangong Jin slowly rested his eyes on Xu Miaomiao, which made Xu Miaomiao a little at a loss. If he had known this, he should not have asked this question in the first place. He immediately returned to the main topic and said, "By the way, Mr. Nangong, I came here today to bring you food."

Nangong Jin sent a few soldiers to help Xu Miaomiao take the goods off the carriage. Looking at the cakes of different shapes and colors, Nangong Jin immediately opened a bag and put it in his mouth: "Madam Xu's things are indeed full of fragrance."

Xu Miaomiao smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and said, "Mr. Nangong, as long as you like it."

After finishing the work, Xu Miaomiao immediately found an excuse to leave. After all, no one could stay for long under Nangong Jin's scorching gaze.

As soon as I returned to the store, I saw that the door was closed tightly, but not locked.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xu Miaomiao immediately went in through the back door, only to see Madam Zhang sitting in the hall, while Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei stood beside them with a somewhat melancholy look on their faces.

Seeing this situation, Xu Miaomiao did not leave immediately. After all, if Liu Niang married into the Xu family in the future, she would have to confront Madam Zhang too many times. It would be better to let her grow up on her own.

Mrs. Zhang remained calm in the face of the emergency and never forgot the rules of their noble family wherever she went. She slowly picked up the teacup on the table, blew on it twice, and then took a small sip.

Liu Hong, who was following behind her, saw that she didn't want to drink tea anymore, so she respectfully put down the teacup for her.

Madam Zhang cleared her throat, then looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "I have something to say to this lady, you go down first."

This sentence was said to Song Weiwei, but this was originally her own shop. Of course, Song Weiwei was the first one who was not happy about the woman chasing people away like this. She immediately said, "Please understand, this is my territory. I can leave if I want to, and I can stay if I want to. Why are you chasing me away?"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Madam Zhang raised her eyebrows, turned to look at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Birds of a feather flock together. You are so disrespectful to your elders before you even get married. If you get married, won't you turn our Zhang family upside down?"

When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she knew that the other party was talking about her, so she quickly pulled Song Weiwei's sleeve and said, "Weiwei, you go down first. I think Madam Zhang has something important to tell me."

Seeing that Gu Yuanniang had spoken, Song Weiwei couldn't refuse. She gave her a worried look before leaving.

When they walked to the back hall, they happened to meet Xu Miaomiao who was eavesdropping. Song Weiwei was looking at her curiously. Xu Miaomiao immediately covered her mouth and signaled her to just watch quietly from the side. So there were two more people eavesdropping on the conversation in the front hall.

Seeing that everyone had left, Madam Zhang stopped her gaze on Gu Yuanniang and said, "You are really capable. My son actually refused to eat or drink for you."

When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she became anxious and immediately took two steps forward: "Qingshan, how is he? Is he okay?"

Madam Zhang glared at Gu Yuanniang unhappily and continued, "Thanks to you, I'm not going to die."

Then he straightened the handkerchief in his hand and said, "My child, although he looks a bit dignified, he is still a scholar after all. In the past, he would cry to me even if he got hurt, let alone fasting. Now that he has been with you for a long time, he has really become more capable and is not afraid to harm himself to threaten me."

Gu Yuanniang sneered and lost her respectfulness from yesterday. She said, "According to what Madam Zhang said, it's still my fault?"

Hearing Gu Yuanniang's sarcasm, the woman slammed the table angrily.
