Chapter 147 Encounter with Wang Yunong
Lin Xi stood there in a daze. The girl in front of her actually called out her name. She was very sure that this person had never existed in the original owner's memory.
However, the other party soon realized his mistake and looked away, "Sorry, I didn't expect to see you here."
After saying that, the plain-clothed girl hesitated for a moment and then looked at Lin Xi again, saying cautiously, "I saw you once from a distance at a party before, but you probably don't remember it."
If I had seen him from afar before, could it be that the person in front of me came from the capital?
Miss Su Yi saw the confusion in Lin Xi's eyes and explained, "I forgot to say that I am Wang Yunong from the Tongque Wang family in the capital."
Lin Xi paused. It was such a coincidence that she ran into him. Her luck was so damn bad.
If people find out that I am cheating people from a distance using someone else's name, I don't know if the filter I have for girls from the Lin family will be shattered.
Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little guilty and changed the subject, "The waiter said that someone was injured and it was inconvenient for him to apply medicine, so he found us."
"Yes, you see I'm confused." The girl in plain clothes turned around and lifted the hem of her shirt, revealing a clear knife wound.
Lin Xi took a breath. It was the first time she had seen such a hideous wound on a girl in all the time she had been here.
"Your injury is so serious, how can you just take some medicine? I think you should find a doctor." In ancient times when there was a shortage of doctors and medicine, it would be troublesome if you accidentally got an infection.
Wang Yunong quickly shook her head, "Don't bother. What I brought from home are the best wound medicines. I'm afraid the doctors here are not even up to their level."
Lin Xi paused. What the other person said made sense. The things from the Bronze Sparrow King’s family might contain some precious medicinal herbs.
Without saying anything more, she took the bottle and began to apply medicine to Wang Yunong.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little awkward.
"Um," Wang Yunong hesitated for a long time before asking, "Shouldn't you be in Taoli Village? Why are you here? And...where is Xiao Yongyan?"
Wang Yunong said a lot of things, but Lin Xi could tell that there was only one key point, which was Xiao Yongyan.
Perhaps because they are both women, the little thoughts in Wang Yunong's words could not escape Lin Xi's eyes.
"You're talking about Xiao Yongyan. He's right at the door." Lin Xi answered casually, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Lin Xi suppressed his unhappiness and pretended to be calm as he continued to answer Wang Yunong's question, "We came here to buy some things."
As for the real reason, Lin Xi felt there was no need to tell the truth.
"He's outside the door!" Wang Yunong suddenly lowered her head and said nothing for a long time, but her eyes kept drifting towards the door.
Lin Xi's hands kept moving, applying the medicine carefully, but his mind was wandering somewhere else.
"alright."
This sentence brought both of them back to reality. Wang Yunong said, "Thank you, Miss Lin."
As if by some strange coincidence, Lin Xi continued, "I am now Madam Xiao."
Wang Yunong was stunned and raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was laughing at his own stupidity.
"Yes, Mrs. Xiao."
Outside the door, Xiao Yongyan waited for a long time but heard nothing. He asked worriedly, "Xi'er, what's wrong? Do you need help to call a doctor?"
Lin Xi said quickly, "No need, I'll be out soon."
With a creak, the door opened, and it was not only Lin Xi who came out, but also someone else.
Xiao Yongyan's eyes widened instantly, "Miss Wang."
Wang Yunong seemed to have gotten over her previous emotions and smiled cheerfully, "Mr. Xiao, I really didn't expect to meet you here. I heard that you came here to buy things. Did you make a fortune?"
Xiao Yongyan did not answer Wang Yunong's question, but frowned and asked, "Why did you come to Xucheng alone? Are your family worried?"
Wang Yunong smiled indifferently, "I am your savior, so please be nicer. I am going out to expand the market, not to travel."
"What do you mean by sightseeing?" Xiao Yongyan pulled Lin Xi to his side and asked, "What did she say to you just now?"
Lin Xi's tone was a little stiff, "Nothing, I just asked why you came to Xucheng."
Wang Yunong waved at the two of them, "What are you doing standing in the wind so late at night? Come in."
The two were brought into the house by Wang Yunong again.
"Don't treat me like a fool. Are you here to do some shopping? Exiles are not allowed to leave the place of exile at will. You must have another reason for appearing here." Wang Yunong stared at the two of them. "Tell me quickly, what is it?"
Xiao Yongyan smiled faintly, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you, but you shouldn't get involved in this matter, and you don't need to ask any more questions."
Wang Yunong pouted, looking unhappy, "What's wrong? It's been such a long time since we last met, and you're so distant with me. My poor second brother keeps talking about you and even said he wants to come and see you."
Hearing this, Xiao Yongyan waved his hand and said, "You believe what he said."
"Why don't you believe it? My second brother is an honest man." Wang Yunong said.
"Never mind. You're the only one in the world who thinks so."
Xiao Yongyan and Wang Yunong were chatting leisurely, and Lin Xi was unable to get a word in for a long time.
When good friends meet, they have a lot to talk about, but she looks like an outsider.
…
After returning to the house, Lin Xi said, "I didn't expect that the person coming from the Wang family would be Wang Yunong."
"With her temper, the Wang family can't do anything about her." Xiao Yongyan chuckled.
"By the way," Lin Xi asked, "Why did Wang Yunong say that she was your savior?"
Xiao Yongyan hugged Lin Xi and said with a smile, "Do you remember what Master Gu said before? When I was a child, I fell into the water and was saved by a girl. That girl was Wang Yunong."
Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan in disbelief, "Is it her?"
"Yes, so she later told everyone that she was my savior." Xiao Yongyan still finds it funny when he thinks about it now.
"So you two have known each other for a long time." Lin Xi murmured. To be honest, she was the one who came later.
Even though Xiao Yongyan was slow at this moment, he realized that Lin Xi was not in the right state. "What are you thinking about, little girl?"
Lin Xi wanted to bury her head in the pillow. Did she really have the right to be unhappy? Did she really have the right to question anything?
"Don't think about anything, just go to sleep." Lin Xi said.
Xiao Yongyan just thought it was funny and pulled the man out from under the quilt, "Aren't you afraid of suffocating yourself to death?"
"Just suffocate to death." Lin Xi curled his lips.
Xiao Yongyan couldn't help laughing. The lady probably didn't realize how abnormal her behavior was. This abnormality started after she came out of Wang Yunong's room.
In an instant, Xiao Yongyan suddenly understood something.
"Xi'er, Miss Wang and I do have a good relationship, but it's based on affection and courtesy, and there's absolutely no overstepping of the line." Xiao Yongyan whispered in Lin Xi's ear.
His willingness to explain made Lin Xi feel a little better.
