Zuo Miaomiao instantly recalled the scene of farting and almost ran away again.
It took a lot of effort to convince myself to stay where I was.
"General Fu, what brings you here?"
She clutched the hem of her clothes, speaking with trepidation.
Fu Weiyun smiled and handed over a wooden box: "I have a small gift for you."
Gift?!
Zuo Miaomiao's heart was pounding.
General Fu actually wants to give her a gift!
How exciting this is!
She immediately reached out her hand.
But halfway through, he suddenly remembered his daughter's teachings and withdrew.
"This isn't proper; men and women shouldn't touch each other..."
Fu Weiyun's smile faded slightly.
"I just wanted to apologize for my rudeness earlier. If Miss Zuo is unwilling to forgive me, then so be it."
Apologize?!
Zuo Miaomiao was stunned.
She was the one who was rude just now.
General Fu was actually worried that his attitude would hurt her, so he specially prepared an apology gift. That's just too...gentle.
Zuo Miaomiao was deeply moved and quickly accepted the wooden box.
Before she could think of a good way to say it, Fu Weiyun said, "I'll take my leave now," and rode away.
Zuo Miaomiao watched him leave until his figure disappeared around the street corner before getting into her own carriage.
After the carriage started moving, she calmed herself down, opened the wooden box, and looked at the small gift that Fu Weiyun had given her.
It's a small squirrel plush toy, about the size of a palm, with chubby cheeks and lifelike obsidian-set eyes.
Zuo Miaomiao liked it at first sight.
"So cute!"
She played with the doll with great affection.
The more I looked at the doll, the more familiar it seemed.
But I can't remember.
My gaze inadvertently drifted to the small mirror hanging on the side of the carriage, and then it dawned on me.
Isn't that just like her?
They were all chubby and round, with bulging cheeks.
So this doll was made in her likeness.
Zuo Miaomiao felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey water.
Just then, the carriage suddenly jolted, and she was caught off guard and lunged forward, her hands unconsciously gripping the squirrel plush toy tightly.
With a "squeak," a rich aroma was released from the base of the squirrel's tail.
Zuo Miaomiao: "..."
She suddenly realized that the squirrel was using it to cover up its farts.
Fu Weiyun definitely thinks she's a jerk, otherwise why would he send her something like this!
Zuo Miaomiao's face turned red and then black, then red again, and she was so angry that she almost threw the doll out the window.
But after grinding his teeth for a while, he endured it.
She secretly vowed that when she caught Fu Weiyun making a fool of himself in the future, she would return the favor by giving him a unique gift!
...
Since Wei Yan's visitation time was restricted, his schedule has become very busy.
Every morning, he would first run a few laps around the inner courtyard of the Marquis's mansion, then review the spear techniques that Yun Shu had taught him, and then take a bath and have a meal before riding his horse to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion with full energy.
Although Yun Shu showed no signs of waking up, her health improved significantly under Xiao Qingyin's care.
Unlike before, when she visibly lost weight, she stabilized.
When he came to see her, he would first tell her about his experiences and observations from the previous day, and then read stories from a book to her.
These storybooks are all about chivalrous women in the martial arts world, which Yun Shu loves to read.
After reading about ten pages, the visiting time is over.
"Xiao Shu, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again tomorrow."
That day, after finishing reading the storybook, Wei Yan got up and said goodbye to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu lay quietly, offering no response.
Wei Yan lowered his eyelids and turned to leave.
After leaving the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, he rode his horse casually, pondering whether he could design a reclining chair so that Yun Shu could lie down and receive a massage.
Sister Xiao told him that people who are bedridden for a long time should massage their muscles more often to prevent them from atrophying.
However, he doesn't know much about acupressure points and needs to ask Sister Xiao for advice.
While he was deep in thought, a person suddenly rushed out from around the corner and fell in front of the horse's hooves. The horse was startled and started to trample on him.
Wei Yan snapped out of his daze and pulled hard on the reins, preventing a tragedy from happening.
The woman who fell to the ground was a young girl. After Wei Yan reined in his horse, she got up, raised her head, and apologized to him in a flustered manner.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Cousin Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan glanced at her and recognized her as Chang Yu'e, the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changning, who was also the third niece of Aunt Chang.
He said indifferently, "I have no connection with the Wei family anymore."
So please don't call him cousin.
Chang Yu'e was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "But in my heart, you are still Cousin Yan."
Wei Yan remained noncommittal, grabbed the reins, and prepared to urge his horse away.
Chang Yu'e spread her arms wide, blocking the horse, and pleaded, "Yan Biao, no, Marquis, please help me! There are some lecherous men chasing me."
No sooner had she finished speaking than three shady-looking young men rushed out from around the corner, shouting as soon as they saw Chang Yu'e, "That little wench is here!"
Chang Yu'e's face suddenly turned pale.
The three men glanced at Wei Yan and angrily cursed, "You unchaste woman, you actually tried to seduce that young master! Come back with us right now, or we'll break your legs."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Chang Yu'e.
Chang Yu'e cried out in terror, "I don't know you! Get away from me!"
"Stop being temperamental and go home so people won't laugh at you."
"Cousin Yan, save me!"
Wei Yan frowned.
He had no good feelings towards the Chang family, but the fact that these three men had forcibly abducted a woman in broad daylight was really an eyesore.
