When Xie Zhun introduced them to each other, Ning Xi'er, as a junior, tried her best to act like a senior.
Because of the presence of the Duke of Huguo and others, Wei Xunfang did not give Ning Xier a hard time, nor was his attitude particularly friendly.
Ning Xi'er held Xie Zhun's wrist behind her back and took his pulse. It would be too late to prepare the medicine now...
He then took out a prepared medicine from the Imperial Pharmacy for treating colds and flu from his spatial storage.
He got up to pour water for Xie Zhun, and secretly poured a lot of spiritual spring liquid into it, away from everyone's sight.
He handed it to Xie Zhun and watched him take it.
Before long, Xie Zhun felt sleepy, so Ning Xi'er, along with Xuan Feng and Xuan Shuang, escorted him back to his room to rest.
As she helped him cover himself with the blanket, Xie Zhun unconsciously grabbed her hand.
Ning Xi'er suddenly felt a pang of tenderness; he had caught a cold because he was waiting for her...
She stayed by the bedside for a while.
During this time, Eunuch Xu came to visit and learned that Ning Xi'er had just given Xie Zhun prepared medicine. He was relieved and went back to report to the Duke of Huguo and his wife.
Although he had only been away for a few days, this experience had helped Zheng Ye grow considerably.
Since they were all his own people, he vividly recounted everything that had happened in Yongning County during the meal.
When talking about the county magistrate, county lieutenant, registrar, and the city's yamen runners and doctors, everyone worked together with one heart and one mind, which made me feel very gratified.
Speaking of the actions of the prefect and the neighboring county, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
The Duke of Huguo and his wife, the First Madam, the Second Madam, Zheng Chengguang, and others had always known that Ning Xier was a skilled doctor, but they never expected that she could control the disease in a county with more than one million people.
This county magistrate is very capable and willing to take responsibility.
Ultimately, without Ning Xi'er's treatment, the magistrate and others would be helpless.
Either the entire city is buried with them;
Or, the plague will spread and infect more people in the surrounding area.
Previously, only a few people, including Xie Zhun, Wei Xunfang, Qin Yuan, Eunuch Xu, and Zheng Chengguang, knew the information Qin Yuan brought back...
Xie Zhun was worried about the advanced age of the Duke and his wife, and about Ning Xi'er, so he did not tell them the details.
Hearing this for the first time, he was immediately thrilled and filled with pride, and his appreciation for Ning Xi'er deepened even further.
If he were a man, his abilities and spirit would probably be no less than those of his grandson.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xunfang showed no reaction whatsoever.
His gaze remained cold. When he heard from Eunuch Xu that Xie Zhun had caught a cold but had already taken the pills given to him by Ning Xi'er, his expression darkened even more.
The Duke and his wife sat for a long time, but eventually felt tired and were helped back by the First and Second Wives.
Zheng Ye felt he hadn't had enough to drink and insisted on dragging Qin Yuan and his uncle back to their room for a good drink.
Qin Yuan consulted Wei Xunfang, and to his surprise, Wei Xunfang agreed, lifting his sleeve slightly to let him go.
Eunuch Xu arranged for people to clean up the venue, and Wei Xunfang slowly withdrew.
When Ning Xi'er came out of Xie Zhun's room, Bai Zhi and Gan Cao were waiting outside.
They were worried that Ning Xi'er had drunk too much, so they prepared to take her back to her room.
Eunuch Xu prepared a room for her and her maids separately. Haitang and Aoxue had already prepared hot water and blankets.
Ning Xi'er said she wasn't drunk and told them to go first.
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, guessing that Ning Xi'er had something to do, and left immediately.
But instead of going back to sleep, they stood guard more than ten feet away, waiting for Ning Xi'er to finish her work before escorting her back.
Ning Xi'er turned around and walked towards the banquet area. Unexpectedly, she ran into Wei Xunfang, who was leaving.
Ning Xi'er stopped in her tracks, looking at the person opposite her with neither arrogance nor servility.
Wei Xunfang scrutinized Ning Xi'er with sharp, undisguised eyes.
Ning Xi'er spoke up, "Which side do you find more convenient to talk to, sir?"
Wei Xunfang raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased with Ning Xier's tone.
Even Xie Zhun was extremely respectful in his presence.
Not to mention the Duke of Huguo, even the officials of the court would show him great respect.
But the person in front of me showed absolutely no awareness of this...
It was as if the person she was facing was not a highly respected scholar, sage, or elder, but just an ordinary person like her.
Ning Xi'er slightly raised her chin, "Weren't you waiting for me on purpose?"
Wei Xunfang took a deep breath. It seemed that the woman in front of him was more perceptive than he had imagined.
Ning Xi'er chuckled lightly, unconcerned, "No? Then I'll be going now!"
Wei Xunfang was somewhat exasperated. Finally, she glared at Ning Xi'er and said coldly, "Come with me!"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked in the other direction.
Ning Xi'er lifted her foot and followed, a smile involuntarily curving her lips.
When it comes to competing with her, Master Xie Zhun is still a bit too impatient!
