Qin Zhuo left, and Shen Ning didn't even get to say a few words to him, mainly because she hadn't yet told him she wanted to leave.
With such a serious accident, Liu Ying and the others must be extremely worried. Now that she can get out of bed, she should go home as soon as possible.
I slept soundly through the night, filled with worry. The next morning, I first went to see Yuzhu, had breakfast, drank my medicine, and applied ointment to my wound.
She was contemplating whether to ask Qin Zhuo to say goodbye when Green Plum suddenly winked at her mysteriously: "Miss, go out through the left door, there's a surprise."
Shen Ning: "What surprise?"
Green Plum added a hairpin to her hair: "You'll see when you get there."
Helpless, Shen Ning decided to go see the surprise she had mentioned first.
Shen Ning had been wandering around for a few days and was quite familiar with the courtyard, but she had never actually gone outside.
Go out to the left as Green Plum pointed, and you'll see a huge clump of banana trees in front of you. Their broad leaves block out the sky, creating a magnificent sight.
After passing through the banana grove, Shen Ning discovered that this place was actually a garden.
In autumn, most flowers wither, but some still bloom in their full glory.
She could smell the fragrance of osmanthus from afar. Upon closer inspection, she saw two osmanthus trees, each about ten feet tall, standing guard at the entrance of the garden like door gods.
Clusters of golden flowers can be seen among the lush green leaves, filling the garden with fragrance.
The two golden camellias next to it were not to be outdone, with their golden flowers dazzling and bright, and hibiscus and roses were also blooming in competition.
Next to the artificial hill in the middle of the garden are platforms of varying heights, on which are placed several pots of chrysanthemums of different colors.
Is this the surprise that Green Plum was talking about?
I must say, it was truly stunning to see. The Shen family also had flowers, but Shen Ning didn't care about them; whether they bloomed or not was up to fate.
She strolled along, admiring the flowers, thinking she would only take a quick look before heading back; she had important business to attend to.
However, as she walked around the screen, she saw the person she was looking for.
Qin Zhuo was lying on a deck chair by the pond reading a book. Today, he was unusually dressed in white, completely concealing his bewitching aura. At first glance, he was almost unrecognizable.
He didn't seem like the troublemaker others described; he seemed more like a refined young gentleman, a cultured scholar.
The soft morning sunlight fell upon him, bathing him in a radiant glow, making him appear as perfect as an immortal.
"Young Master Qin."
Shen Ning had no choice but to step forward and disrupt this beautiful scene.
Qin Zhuo looked up: "Why did you come here?"
Shen Ning didn't say that Lü Mei had sent her, but only said, "I came here because I smelled a strong fragrance of flowers."
Qin Zhuo didn't say anything: "Then you can continue admiring the flowers."
I don't blame her for bothering me.
Shen Ning continued, "We have troubled you for many days, and it is time for us to leave. Today I am going to bid you farewell."
Qin Zhuo glanced at her again, then quickly returned his gaze to the book: "You can just talk to Lü Mei, she will make the arrangements."
"Thank you, young master."
Shen Ning bowed again and slowly left.
Qin Zhuo continued reading, but he couldn't focus on a single word.
----
Green Plum and Purple Beauty were both reluctant to part with Shen Ning. After all, they had spent so many days together and watched him return from the brink of death, so they had developed some feelings for him.
But they also knew that Shen Ning had a home to return to, and after being sad for a while, they still made arrangements for everything.
Although Yu Zhu was able to walk a few steps, Shen Ning still asked someone to carry her onto the carriage.
The carriage stopped at the side gate of the Qin residence. There was no one around, and it was very quiet.
After everything was settled, Shen Ning stepped forward and hugged Lü Mei and Zi Yan, then stepped back to bow, expressing her sincere gratitude: "Thank you both for your meticulous care over the past few days. I am deeply grateful. If you have any free time, please feel free to come to the Shen family to see me. The Shen family's doors are always open to you."
Green Plum quickly wiped her eyes: "Oh dear, Miss Chen, please don't do this to me. We'll miss you even more if you leave."
Zi Yan smiled and said, "Miss Chen is a very loyal and affectionate person. We will definitely come to visit you."
Green Plum said mischievously, "Being grateful to us is a small matter, but don't forget to be grateful to my young master."
Shen Ning chuckled: "I remember."
"Farewell."
----
The carriage slowly drove away, and when Shen Ning saw the familiar streets again, she felt as if she had been transported to another world.
She has died again.
Gently holding Yuzhu, he lowered the curtain: "Does your head still hurt? Don't look outside, or you'll hurt yourself if you bump your head."
Yu Zhu stuck out her tongue: "I'm all better now, I'm not that delicate, Miss, don't be so nervous."
"To be honest, I look really ugly now. I wonder if Mo Xue'er will laugh at me."
Shen Ning chuckled: "If she dares to laugh at you, I'll beat her up for you, I'll beat her until her butt is bruised and battered."
Yu Zhu was overjoyed, but after laughing for a while, she became worried.
"Miss, do you think Chen Ming is really dead?"
Shen Ning's smile faded, but quickly turned into a firm, faint smile: "He's really dead. He can no longer do evil."
She was not fully conscious at the time, but she would never forget the feeling of the dagger piercing her body. Thick blood splattered all over her body and smeared her face. She couldn't believe that Shen Ming could still be alive.
Most importantly, it was Qin Zhuo who found her. Qin Zhuo saved her and Yu Zhu, wasting many precious medicines. She didn't believe that Qin Zhuo would waste medicine on a death row inmate.
Even if, hypothetically, Shen Ming is truly protected by God and survives, she wouldn't mind taking action again and personally cutting off his head to send him to hell.
Actually, Shen Ning could have gotten the answer simply by asking, but she didn't want to.
It was her first time killing someone with her own hands, so she couldn't truly remain unmoved.
However, after avoiding it for so many days, the time has finally come to face it.
The carriage stopped at the Shen family's gate, only to find the gate closed.
The two exchanged a glance, then helped each other to knock on the door.
The door opened a crack, and instead of the familiar doorman, it was Mo Lin.
The moment he saw the two of them, Mo Lin yanked the door open, his expression excited: "Young Miss, you're finally back."
Upon seeing this, the servant inside rushed in with delight, shouting, "The young lady is back! The young lady is back!"
Mo Lin reached out to help Chen Ning up, his expression heavy with suppressed excitement, as if she were a fragile porcelain doll.
Shen Ning patted his arm: "I'm fine now. Yu Zhu still needs to rest. The medicine is in the carriage behind. Go get it. Remember to give the driver some silver to treat him to tea."
Mo Lin nodded solemnly and insisted on helping Shen Ning into the door before meticulously carrying out her instructions.
Liu Ying rushed out with Mo Xue'er, tears welling up in her eyes before she could speak: "Young Miss, Yu Zhu... Waaah, I've finally waited for you to come back."
Shen Ning hugged her and gently wiped away her tears: "Don't cry, I'm alive, I'm back, everything is alright."
Mo Xue'er looked at the two embracing, pouted, and then walked towards Yu Zhu: "Sister Yu Zhu, do you want a hug?"
Yu Zhu flicked her forehead with her finger: "Don't force yourself, I don't care."
Despite saying that, she didn't refuse when Mo Xue'er hugged her.
