Song Ning took the medicine bowl and finally fed him the medicine.
The medicine contained sedatives, and after taking it, I finally fell asleep again.
After Song Ning went outside, he told the young apprentice, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll come again tomorrow." He then gave the apprentice some silver, saying, "Thank you for your help."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of you."
Song Ning left the clinic with a heavy heart.
I was just wandering around on the street, head down, not looking where I was going.
A figure stopped in front of her, and Song Ning, not noticing, bumped straight into it.
Song Ning looked up when she heard laughter coming from above.
Xie Linzhou put his hands behind his back, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It's rare to see you like this. What's wrong?"
Song Ning shook her head and said calmly, "It's nothing."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"etc."
Xie Linzhou sighed. What a little devil.
Clearing her throat, she asked somewhat awkwardly, "Do you... have anything else to do?"
Song Ning looked up and shook his head: "General Xie, is there something you need?"
"Um... I got something good today, would you... be interested in taking a look?"
Song Ning was stunned for a moment, then became wary. Was Xie Linzhou trying to mess with her again?
I made her do the laundry last time, thinking she'd fall for it again?
"I...I have something to do. Next time, next time for sure."
Xie Linzhou was determined to take her away, and without giving her a chance to refuse, he grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her away.
"General Xie, I really have something to attend to."
"Leave it alone, no matter what." Xie Linzhou glanced at them, his voice turning serious. In Jiangning County, what could be more important than him?
Song Ning was about to cry. Xie Linzhou, that damned devil, was born to be her nemesis.
As they entered the Xie residence, all the servants kept their heads down, and no one dared to look up.
Song Ning was dragged into the house, and then the door was slammed shut.
After observing the room, I noticed there was no laundry tub.
Xie Linzhou waved to her, and Song Ning reluctantly walked over.
Having prepared a hat and gloves for Song Ning, Xie Linzhou smiled and asked, "Do you know how to play pitch-pot?"
Song Ning shook her head, and Xie Linzhou became interested: "Come on, I'll teach you."
Xie Linzhou put a hat and gloves on Song Ning without asking, and the two left the courtyard.
Song Ning had seen pitch-pot on TV; it seemed to be a game usually played at family banquets.
Is this what Xie Linzhou meant by "fun"?
However, Song Ning had to admit that she had become interested.
A double-eared pot was placed not far away. Xie Linzhou threw one first, hitting the mouth of the pot right in the middle.
Song Ning tried to do the same, throwing one at a time, but he threw it too lightly and it fell to the ground.
After failing one after another, Song Ning's competitive spirit flared up, and she refused to believe she couldn't make the shot.
Xie Linzhou brought her arrows for pitch-pot, and she threw them while Xie Linzhou provided guidance from the side, and the servants picked up the arrows for her.
At first, I couldn't control the force, but as I practiced, I was able to get two out of ten sticks in.
Xie Linzhou probably couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed her hand, aimed it at the spout of the pot, and threw it in.
This was the first time Song Ning had thrown the kettle into the middle spout after practicing for so long, and he jumped up with joy.
With a jump, Xie Linzhou groaned behind him, clutching his chin and frowning.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"
Xie Linzhou waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you can keep practicing."
Song Ning dared not practice anymore. He had been too engrossed in playing and had forgotten that Xie Linzhou was still behind him.
What was just a heartwarming scene has now almost turned into a crime scene.
"That's enough for today, General Xie, please rest as well."
The two returned to their room, where servants brought in tea and snacks and stood waiting to the side.
Xie Linzhou seemed to be in a good mood today, so he really only invited her here for fun.
Xie Linzhou pushed the snacks on the table toward her: "These are for you, eat them."
Although she knew Xie Linzhou was probably not a bad person, his behavior today made her feel that he was definitely planning something big.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so kind to her.
"Um... General Xie, is there something else you wanted to discuss with me today?"
Xie Linzhou's face did show a moment of awkwardness, but his tone remained calm: "It's nothing, I just wanted you to come over to my house."
Song Ning didn't believe it, and the tea and snacks in front of her suddenly lost their appeal.
"General Xie, it's getting late, we should be going."
"No rush, I'll send someone to take you back later."
"My dad is waiting for me, I really have to go back."
Seeing that Song Ning was determined to leave, Xie Linzhou finally couldn't resist and took a box from the shelf.
He reached out and offered this to Song Ning, his body stiffening: "This is for you."
Song Ning was puzzled. She took the box, opened it, and saw that it was another hair accessory?
"This is......"
Xie Linzhou was eager to refute, which made him seem guilty: "It's just...it's...oh, didn't I break your hair accessory last time? Consider it compensation for you."
This hair accessory is noticeably better than the one Zhou Ling'an bought before, but it still can't compare to the ones they made themselves.
Song Ning closed the box again and handed it back to him, saying, "My hair ornament wasn't broken, so I can't accept it. General Xie, please take it back."
"It's not broken, but I want to pay for it. This one looks much better than yours."
"I don't need this, and I already have one at home. Thank you for your trouble, General Xie."
Song Ning refused to accept it, which ruined Xie Linzhou's good mood for the whole afternoon. He accepted Zhou Ling'an's but not his, even though his was clearly better looking.
