With a sick person at home and Wei Yunting not around, Jiang Tian asked for leave from the nunnery and stayed with Xiao Sheng while reading medical books.
Hearing his shouts, Jiang Tian calmly put down her book and called a mute servant from outside.
Although this person was mute, he was very reliable. Wei Yunting kept him around to handle these matters that she was unable to handle herself.
Leading the servant inside, Xiao Sheng's face turned bright red.
"What are you shouting for?"
Jiang Tian's tone remained indifferent.
Xiao Sheng was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. He had once been the crown prince and had never been embarrassed by such a thing. But now, he was like a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs, and he even had to ask for help for such a thing.
Moreover, there is a difference between men and women, and summoning Jiang Tian in had exhausted his self-esteem.
"I need to use the restroom..."
Xiao Sheng's voice sounded a little weak.
"Can't hold it in anymore?"
Xiao Sheng looked up in shock; he never expected Jiang Tian to ask such a question.
He clenched his fist and nodded, "Mm."
Jiang Tian stepped aside, allowing the mute servant to lead him out through the secret passage to resolve the matter.
After Xiao Sheng finished dealing with the situation and was carried back, he was surprised to see Jiang Tian still standing there and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Jiang Tian asked him, "Did you wash your hands?"
Xiao Sheng had never been this embarrassed in his twenty years of life.
Of course he washed it!
Seeing that he tacitly agreed, and that he looked alright, the wound probably hadn't reopened.
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, but reminded him before leaving: "If you need to use the toilet in the future, don't shout. Knock on the wall three times and I'll let you in."
Xiao Sheng didn't want to talk anymore, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
The next few days passed peacefully between the two.
The doctor's medicine was quite effective; Xiao Sheng's face regained much color, and he no longer suffered from pain that kept him awake at night.
Once the torment of his illness subsided, Xiao Sheng began to think about revenge.
That cowardly old man went through countless hardships to send him to Wei Yunting, surely hoping he would go back and fight again.
However, he was not familiar with the situation under Wei Yunting's rule, so he had to ask Jiang Tian indirectly.
However, after spending several days together, Xiao Sheng came to understand Jiang Tian's temperament to some extent.
He suspected that Jiang Tian never smiled; she always had a cold face and would say she didn't know anything no matter what he asked.
She would leave as soon as she delivered the food and medicine, never lingering for even a moment longer.
Xiao Sheng had already realized that Jiang Tian didn't like him.
But she was his only source of information about the outside world, and Xiao Sheng still had to rely on her to gather intelligence. Even when he saw her cold face, he still asked with a straight face, "You won't tell me anything, so what's wrong with giving me a local gazetteer so I can take a look?"
Jiang Tian's expression remained calm and indifferent: "Wei Yunting only asked me to bring you food and medicine; I won't do anything else."
Xiao Sheng said sarcastically, "You really listen to him."
He knew this was just an act. If she were truly obedient, how could she dare to call Wei Yunting by his full name? Last time he overheard her say it, and Wei Yunting seemed to be afraid of her.
I wonder what this mistress is capable of, that she can keep Wei Yunting so obedient.
Jiang Tian pretended not to understand the meaning behind his words, put down the medicine and left.
Xiao Sheng felt incredibly stifled being alone in the dark room. He was unaware of what was happening outside and had no way to go out. Even if Jiang Tian gave him the cold shoulder again, he would still take the initiative to talk to her the second time.
Over time, Xiao Sheng almost got used to Jiang Tian's indifference.
He thought to himself that Wei Yunting really had unique tastes, liking women with this kind of personality.
However, looking at Jiang Tian's face, which resembled Duan Rong's, Xiao Sheng felt that Jiang Tian wasn't so hateful after all.
Then one day, Xiao Sheng caught a glimpse of joy in Jiang Tian's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is Wei Yunting coming back?"
Jiang Tian did not refute him, but said to him, "Your injury is 30% healed. If you keep quiet and rest, it may be 60% or 70% healed."
They practically said he was noisy.
Xiao Sheng was so angry he laughed.
He had never been so disliked before, so he simply turned over and refused to look at Jiang Tian again.
However, he guessed correctly; Wei Yunting had indeed won a battle and would be returning soon.
A full month has passed, and the people in the city have finally started to smile again.
If the Xiongnu had breached the defenses, they would have been the first to die. They were all overjoyed to have escaped with their lives.
The servants in the villa were also greatly encouraged, and some even suggested that Jiang Tian go out and buy more rouge and face powder, since she was the only woman by the prince's side now, and she should dress up nicely.
Jiang Tian ignored all of this and remained locked up in her study.
She is currently unable to go to the nunnery, which the abbess understands, since Wei Yunting is not present and there is a risk of something going wrong.
She only wrote to Jiang Tian, telling her to practice what she had taught her properly and not forget it.
As for the nunnery, I'll visit it when I have time.
Actually, the abbess had entrusted everything to Jiang Tian. Some medical skills could only be mastered by treating patients, so whether she went or not didn't really matter.
Jiang Tian never slacked off, always busy until late at night.
That night, less than half an hour after she fell asleep, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure slipped in.
Jiang Tian immediately realized what was happening and was about to call for help when a large hand covered her mouth.
"It's me, ancestor, don't shout."
