Chapter 671 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 27
My face feels so uncomfortable from being pressed down, and my neck feels so stiff from twisting.
How can a drunk person still have so much strength?
After a long time,
The commotion in Xu Qingyuan's arms gradually subsided, and he quietly opened one eye to peek down.
The corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.
Because of her struggle, several strands of her hair fell from her cheeks and forehead, and even with her eyes closed, her whole face was scrunched up.
He loosened his grip a little.
The head in her arms unconsciously sought a comfortable position.
Xu Qingyuan's pupils contracted, fearing that she would escape, and he unconsciously tightened his grip.
"Hiss~"
Song Jinhuan felt a tingling sensation on her face and gasped.
Xu Qingyuan quickly closed his eyes.
Perhaps fueled by anger, Song Jinhuan struggled with a force that disregarded Xu Qingyuan's life or death, and finally gained her freedom.
The other person is still unconscious.
He was sleeping so soundly.
Song Jinhuan straightened his clothes and sleeves, tucked the blanket around him, and then left.
The room returned to quiet.
Xu Qingyuan opened his eyes, grabbed the blanket covering his chest, and tightened his grip little by little, causing the veins on the back of his hand to bulge.
Suddenly, she let go, her eyes reddening and glistening with tears.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
As he pulled the blanket up, his body slid down.
As far back as he could remember, he had never known that someone would tuck him in while he slept.
Master Jiang is so kind!
It would be even better if it were his.
The next day, as soon as Song Jinhuan opened the door, she saw the steward of Guining Mansion standing at the door.
"Master Jiang, the Prefect requests your presence."
Song Jinhuan was puzzled, but he smiled politely and said, "This humble scholar must first pay his respects to Lord Xu."
Butler: "If Lord Xu finds out, he won't blame me."
Song Jinhuan pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding and replying, "Okay."
I wonder why the prefect is looking for her. Isn't he trying to kill her?
The more I think about it, the more dangerous this trip seems.
But the housekeeper was watching her, preventing her from tipping off Xu Qingyuan... She had to think of a way.
Song Jinhuan followed behind the butler, her mind racing, when suddenly she cried out, "Ouch!"
The butler turned around and saw someone clutching their stomach, looking pained. He quickly went to help, asking, "Master Jiang, what's wrong?"
Song Jinhuan held his breath, sweat beading on his forehead, and said with difficulty, "I must have caught a chill last night. My stomach is aching terribly, and I need to go to the toilet."
"Please ask the steward to go to Lord Xu; he knows what pills I need."
After finishing speaking, Song Jinhuan bent over and moved to the side, leaning against the wall as he walked towards the outhouse.
"Butler, thank you for your trouble."
Left with no other choice, the steward hurriedly went to find Xu Qingyuan.
Song Jinhuan pretended to go to the outhouse before finishing, and not long after, Xu Qingyuan's voice came from outside.
"Master Jiang, are you feeling better?"
Song Jinhuan replied weakly, "I'm... much better. It's just that I'm late. I'm worried that Prefect Lu will blame me."
Xu Qingyuan stood outside the outhouse, smiling and reassuringly saying, "It's alright, I'll accompany you to apologize to the prefect."
Song Jinhuan continued acting, hesitatingly asking, "Really?"
Xu Qingyuan turned to the butler, "There's a reason for this, you see..."
With things having come to this point, the steward had no choice but to take the two of them to see Prefect Lu.
With Xu Qingyuan present, Prefect Lu naturally couldn't say too much. He only said that he had the heart of a matchmaker and hoped that Song Jinhuan could meet his distant niece after noon.
Song Jinhuan immediately declined tactfully, saying, "Yongshu is already engaged; we will marry her when she comes of age."
"And he has promised her that he will only have her in his life and will never take a concubine or a second wife."
