Seeing that he was still sighing, she directly asked if anyone had found the Tianshan Snow Lotus recently. The reply she got was that someone had found it two days ago and gave it to the buyer. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that. She was afraid of meeting the male protagonist!
"Waiter, can you arrange a room for us? We are so exhausted." He finally came to his senses, but there was resentment in his eyes when he looked at her.
The waiter arranged two rooms on the second floor for them. She lived in one room, and her second uncle and Tong Wen Yao lived in the other room. The second uncle's body still had some residual poison, so she asked Wen Yao to simply wipe his body. She would go to the kitchen to make medicine for him later. She had just given him a simple treatment on the mountain. If the residual poison was not cleaned up in time, it might leave sequelae.
There was a set of cotton clothes in her space, which was just right for her to wear after taking a shower. After a quick shower, she felt that all the fatigue of the day was washed away. Then she entered the space to prepare Chinese medicine. She had previously bought a batch of Chinese medicine and stored it in the villa. In addition, after traveling through time, she also picked some Chinese medicine on the way to exile, so she could still make a combination of herbs to detoxify snakes.
She took the prepared medicine and went downstairs to find the waiter. "Waiter, I want to boil some medicine. Do you have a medicine stove here?" The waiter's previous resentment had almost dissipated by now, but he was not so enthusiastic to receive her. "Yes, go to the kitchen in the backyard."
"Thank you, young man. I was wrong to lie to you before. This is the money for the medicine stove." After saying that, she handed five copper coins to the waiter and then walked towards the kitchen.
After crossing the corridor, she lowered her head, thinking about something. After being bumped on the shoulder, she looked up at him and was about to curse, but she never expected it to be an old acquaintance. "Mo Yun?" Mo Yun nodded slightly to indicate that his master was over there.
She followed her gaze to see Pei Guanyu in the yard, dressed in white and lying in a rocking chair with a lit stove next to him. The pale yellow light from the red lanterns under the eaves shone on his face, making him look like a modest gentleman. His black eyes were like obsidian, making people fall in love with him at first sight.
"Miss Tong, long time no see." Her heart felt like it was being pinched by a hand, a little painful. She knew it was the lingering emotions of the original owner that were causing her trouble. She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Greetings, Master Pei. I am no longer a daughter of an official family. Please call me Miss Tong, Master Pei."
She remained calm and secretly suppressed her surging emotions. She had seen it from afar a few days ago. At that time, she thought the abnormality in her heart was due to worry about her second uncle. Unexpectedly, it was caused by him. No wonder the original owner committed suicide in order to return to the capital to see him.
"Miss Tong, can you sit down and chat with me when you are free?" She raised her eyebrows after hearing this. The original owner had begged and pleaded to sit next to him before, but was asked to leave by Mo Yun. So why would he invite her to have tea now?
She leaned forward and saluted, "Please forgive me, Master Pei. I need to make medicine for my family, so I can't accompany you." He chuckled and said, "It's just a decoction. Mo Yun will make some medicine for Miss Tong."
Mo Yun snatched the medicine from her hand and then asked, "I wonder if there is anything I need to pay attention to with this medicine? Please tell me, young lady." In this case, she could only let Mo Yun take the medicine and boil it. She said, "Just boil it on medium heat for an hour. Thank you."
She sat by the fire, looking up at the stars in the sky. There were many more stars here than in modern times. But she wondered if Pei Guanyu had something to ask her. She was still an exile here!
"Miss Tong, have you been okay recently? If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask me for help." Tong Wen Yao looked at him, and her eyes seemed to be not lying. Fortunately, she could make money by herself.
She shook her head, supporting her face with her hands as she looked at the red lantern. "I had a very bad time, but luckily I woke up in time. I'm sorry for being confused before and causing you trouble." She smelled the faint scent of herbs in the air. In addition, she had asked the waiter at the door if he had found the snow lotus. Now it seems that he had already taken the pill. She wondered if he could still get the snow lotus.
"I don't know where you live now. I will definitely come to visit you someday." Tong Wenyao said with a smile, "No need. My humble home is simple and I am afraid it will offend your dignity. From now on, I will just pretend that I don't know you."
The atmosphere was rarely quiet. She thought about how they had risked their lives to go up the mountain just to pick the snow lotus. She wondered if he would still take it. Then she asked, "Will you still take the snow lotus?"
He was stunned for a moment after hearing that, then nodded and said, "It's still there." She nodded after hearing that, then stood up and made a gesture to leave. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Pei, were you involved in my father's death?" Her eyes were fixed on his face, trying to find a flaw in his face.
"I admire General An Guo for not doing such a ridiculous thing." After hearing this, she bit her lip tightly, tears seemed to want to fall, but she forced them back. Before leaving, she asked again, "Master Pei, have you ever been moved by me before?"
He smiled and said, "I always treated Miss Tong as my younger sister." She didn't feel surprised to hear this answer, but her heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Sorry, I'm going back to my room first." Her disheveled figure hurried away. Pei Guanyu's eyes were no longer smiling. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered her reaction. This was so different from her original temperament in the capital. Had her personality changed during her exile? Originally, she was very domineering.
After Tong Wen Yao returned to her room, she opened her mouth and tried to breathe, but her neck seemed to be strangled by someone and she couldn't breathe. Her eyes were wet and tears slid down her cheeks to her elbows. She had never felt so uncomfortable in her heart. The scene in front of her began to blur and she fell into a coma.
In the darkness, she saw a person who looked very similar to her, but the person was wearing ancient clothes. Her intuition told her that this person was the remaining soul of her original body.
"Are you the ghost who took over my body?" After she said that, she snorted coldly, "Thank you for asking that question for me just now." She didn't know what the original owner was talking about, whether Pei Guanyu was not the murderer of her father, or whether Pei Guanyu had liked her, but it seemed unimportant.
Seeing that she was distracted, she shouted directly, "Hey, I'm still here, why are you distracted? Since you have taken over my body, you have to take good care of my mother for me, otherwise, I will make you pay!"
She said calmly, "Of course, but you're leaving soon!" The original owner's eyes were red, but she still said stubbornly, "What do you care about me? I'm going downstairs to reunite with my father!" She smiled and didn't expose her, promising, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your family."
