Chapter 692 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 47
Song Jinhuan shouted loudly in a hoarse voice, his previous fear gone and overjoyed.
Her lifeline had finally arrived.
The surrounding maids were intimidated by Xu Qingyuan's imposing aura and retreated one after another.
The man's expression was cold as he strode to the bathtub. Fortunately, she was still wearing an undergarment; otherwise, everyone present might not have been unharmed.
He bent down and wrapped his arms around her lower back. With a little effort, the soaking wet girl climbed up like a monkey.
A splashing sound of water followed, soaking Xu Qingyuan's front.
Her hands tightly embraced his neck, and his waist and hips tightened around him.
It's the other person's legs.
The girl in his arms trembled all over, whether from lingering fear or from catching a chill, it was hard to tell.
Xu Qingyuan took off his outer robe with one hand and wrapped it around Song Jinhuan without saying a word.
The water in the bathtub had long since cooled down. Song Jinhuan leaned on his shoulder and sneezed violently.
Unconsciously, she hugged the other person's neck tighter.
"My lord, it's so cold."
"Please call a doctor for me, and also give me some medicine to dispel the cold."
Xu Qingyuan secretly tightened his grip on his arm and replied in a low voice, "Okay."
He turned around and walked out, saying, "The Emperor bestowed a marriage upon me a stick of incense a day ago."
Song Jinhuan was drawing warmth from the man's neck with her icy cheeks when she heard this. She blinked in surprise, looked up, and asked, "Which lady?"
Xu Qingyuan stared intently at her with his dark eyes, and slowly uttered three words, "Jiang Jingxi".
Song Jinhuan's pupils dilated, and she asked in surprise, "When did you find out, sir?"
Xu Qingyuan: "Back when we were still in Anping County."
"..."
Song Jinhuan didn't even know when he had been exposed. When he thought about everything that had happened before, especially the fact that he had to emphasize his manly spirit every now and then, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She leaned her head on his shoulder as if trying to escape, changing the subject, "Thank you so much for saving my life, sir!"
Xu Qingyuan's expression softened. "No need to thank me."
Just as Song Jinhuan was about to be moved, a voice came from above: "I was just saving my future wife."
For a moment, Song Jinhuan buried her face even deeper.
Hot water had been prepared at the Zhuangyuan Mansion. Song Jinhuan soaked in the hot water for a while until his limbs warmed up before changing his clothes.
The doctor was already waiting. After taking Song Jinhuan's pulse and writing a prescription, he gave her some instructions before leaving with his medical kit.
The medicine to dispel the cold was quickly brought up by Xu Qingyuan.
The aroma of medicine was wonderful.
Song Jinhuan took a small sip, frowned, and smacked her lips.
Slightly bitter.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyuan took out a small paper packet from his sleeve. Just as he was about to persuade her, he saw the girl pick up the bowl and gulp it down in one go.
Even after finishing the drink, their faces still showed signs of wanting more.
She licked her lips and said with a grin, "Hehe, it tastes pretty good."
Xu Qingyuan: "..."
Little glutton.
He handed over the paper package, "Do you want some?"
Song Jinhuan took it, opened it, and asked, "What's this?"
"Hey! It's a plum!"
Song Jinhuan belatedly realized what was happening and looked up to ask, "Did the master prepare this especially for me?"
Xu Qingyuan was already standing by the window with his hands behind his back, his ears slightly red, and he gave a barely audible "hmm".
However, Song Jinhuan still managed to catch it.
Her heart felt warm.
"Do you have any questions about the marriage bestowed by the Emperor?"
The plums spun around in Song Jinhuan's mouth, and she didn't quite understand what he was trying to say.
She thought for a moment and said, "If you are unwilling, sir, we can have a marriage contract. We can't let this ruin your career."
