Luo Shaoxuan was overjoyed when he touched Han Lingxi, but Han Lingxi slapped his hand away.
"Aren't men and women different now? Help me up."
Luo Shaoxuan then realized what was happening and quickly went to help Han Lingxi. Han Lingxi was wincing in pain, and Luo Shaoxuan felt sorry for her, so he picked her up in a princess carry.
Han Lingxi felt sweet being held in Luo Shaoxuan's arms, but when she thought about how she was in such a miserable state because of Luo Shaoxuan, she looked at Luo Shaoxuan's chin and said fiercely.
"It's all your fault, Luo Shaoxuan, you're finished."
Luo Shaoxuan grinned foolishly and looked down at Han Lingxi in his arms.
"Fine, punish me however you want."
Luo Shaoxuan seemed not to have noticed the joking tone in Han Lingxi's voice and answered sincerely. Han Lingxi felt a little embarrassed by Luo Shaoxuan's gaze and blushed slightly.
"Ding! Affection +5, Total Affection 95."
Luo Shaoxuan settled Han Lingxi in a guest room and invited a doctor to examine her injuries. The injuries were not serious, and the doctor said that as long as she took good care of herself, she would not suffer any lasting health problems.
Han Lingxi didn't care whether it would leave her with a chronic condition. Every time she acted pitiful and coquettish with Luo Shaoxuan, she would say that her feet hurt. Although Luo Shaoxuan knew that she was just saying it casually, he could never bear to refuse her. Of course, that's a story for later.
After the doctor left, Han Lingxi told Luo Shaoxuan everything about how she was now the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and how she had come to Jiangnan with Shen Luoming.
Luo Shaoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was happy that Han Lingxi had come back to life, he found it hard to accept that Han Lingxi had taken someone's life. Knowing that Han Lingxi had possessed Shen Xirao's body after her death, he was truly relieved.
Luo Shaoxuan knew that Han Lingxi had secretly run to the Luo residence, so he sent someone to inform Shen Luoming. Shen Luoming was worried when he found that his sister was missing. After listening to the servant's words, he went to the Luo residence with the servant.
Han Lingxi injured her foot and naturally rested in her guest room. When Shen Luoming arrived, Luo Shaoxuan naturally went to the front hall to personally receive him.
Han Lingxi was bored by herself, so she called in the maid that Luo Shaoxuan had sent before leaving, who was worried about leaving her alone, to talk to her.
Han Lingxi was very curious about Zhang Lingwan's whereabouts, so she asked the maid. The maid did not know Han Lingxi's identity, but she knew that Luo Shaoxuan valued her, so she naturally answered all her questions.
Han Lingxi thus learned that Zhang Lingwan had been sent back to her home. Speaking of which, Zhang Lingwan's background was not very good. Madam Luo married someone else as a second wife, so she was naturally not a noble lady. However, when she got married, her grandfather was a fifth-rank official. After her grandfather passed away, the family's fortunes declined day by day.
Zhang Lingwan's mother passed away when she was very young. Her father was Madam Luo's older brother. A year ago, her father also passed away, and she ended up in the hands of her uncles and aunts. That's why she came to seek refuge with her aunt. Now that Madam Luo has been sent to the family temple, she can hardly take care of herself, let alone look after Zhang Lingwan. Not long after Madam Luo's accident, Zhang Lingwan was sent back to her uncles and aunts.
Han Lingxi didn't care what happened to Zhang Lingwan later; she just wanted her to stay out of sight and be annoying.
Han Lingxi had just dismissed the maid and was about to take a nap when Shen Mingxuan stormed in, followed by Luo Shaoxuan.
Han Lingxi felt guilty under Shen Luoming's almost fiery gaze, after all, she was in the wrong for sneaking out.
