I'm getting dizzy. The shopkeeper messed things up, and it's all my fault. If I had known Xie Yuancheng would turn out like this, I would have preferred never to have met him.
Perhaps he could live a much more comfortable life with the girl he was destined for, than he does now.
"I'm the one who wronged him."
"When it comes to matters of the heart, there's no right or wrong. In your past life, the Marquis wronged you, so in this life, he will protect you. I see that the Marquis treats you very well, and he's handsome too. Many people will surely vie for such a good husband. But don't worry, my lady, I've already tied your red thread indefinitely. No matter where you are in the future, the Marquis will be able to find you."
"Shopkeeper, what else do you know? Tell me everything."
"Ah, this is a secret that cannot be revealed. I can only tell you the whole story, Madam. Now that I have repaid your kindness, I must leave."
"Is the shopkeeper leaving?"
"Yes, I'm not originally from here, so I can't stay too long. You two managed to turn misfortune into good fortune this time, and what happens next depends on your fate. Back then, it was because the lady didn't express her wishes that I made wild guesses. Later, I thought that the lady and the marquis were not only a good match but also very suitable, so I acted as the first matchmaker. Fortunately, you two get along well, much better than before. Now that time and space have accepted your marriage, I can gracefully retire."
"But I..."
"Don't worry, things will always take a turn for the better. Finally, let me give you some advice: matters of the heart are ever-changing. If you are unhappy in the future, you can find a new place to start over. If fate allows, we will meet again. Farewell."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he jumped out of the car window.
I thought something had happened to him, so I hurriedly lifted the car curtain. There was no one around, only a narrow road.
"Anshi, has anyone come in just now?"
"Madam, the carriage has been moving without stopping. There will be no one around. We will arrive at Li Family Village in about half a cup of tea's time."
No one had been here. I quickly looked at Xie Yuancheng; the needles that had been inserted beside him were gone. However, his complexion had become rosy, and he wasn't as pale as before.
I remember the shopkeeper saying that he had a destined person.
This shopkeeper is elusive; he's never quiet and never speaks completely, yet this time he's the one who saved us. I think he has some mental issues and likes to misinterpret what others say.
Although the shopkeeper said that Xie Yuancheng wouldn't live past eighteen if he didn't change his red thread, I still wanted to know who Xie Yuancheng's previous red thread was and whether he was doing well.
The carriage stopped, and Meng Anshi opened the curtain and came in.
"Madam, you know medicine? The Marquis is much better than before, and his complexion has returned to normal."
That's not me; it's that elusive shopkeeper.
"Don't say anything more, the most important thing is to help Yuancheng get off the car and go to the sanatorium."
I've unconsciously put Xie Yuancheng first now. I feel like I'm thanking the shopkeeper for his haphazard matchmaking, but I also feel bad for that former matchmaker.
After we hurriedly went inside, the carriage was driven away by two guards who were waiting nearby.
After settling Xie Yuancheng in, Meng Anshi opened the back door, which led to a hot spring.
"How come there's a hot spring here?"
"This is the medicinal spring, which was built by the Marquis. He diverted the hot spring water from the back mountain. When he first arrived in Sizhou, his old illness relapsed. He was supposed to recover after recuperating here for half a month, but on his way back to the military camp, he was ambushed and stabbed by assassins. The Marquis could have recuperated in the military camp, but Lin Chao sent a message saying that the mansion was frequently ambushed by secret guards. The Marquis calculated the date of his wife's delivery and set off ten days early."
"No wonder Yuan Cheng returned covered in wounds. Were these people all sent by the Crown Prince?"
"The Crown Prince isn't the only one in the court who is hostile to the Marquis. We shouldn't linger here. After I leave, I'll put out things to keep out any enemies around the area. The kitchen is behind the hot spring, and there's some everyday food inside. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the Marquis these next few days, Madam. Once he wakes up, we'll need to bring him here to soak in the medicinal hot spring."
I nodded. Although I can't cook, I should be able to make a living.
After leaving the Xuan Tie Sword behind, Meng Anshi left. I can't worry about that now. I'll wait until Xie Yuancheng wakes up before I talk about it.
I stayed by the bedside, staring at Xie Yuancheng for a while, and then I actually fell asleep. When I woke up, the light outside was already dim.
"Yuancheng!" I touched the edge of the bed and found myself lying on it, covered by a blanket.
After I got out of bed, I looked everywhere for him but couldn't find him. Just as I was about to open the door and go out, Xie Yuancheng came in through the back door.
"Ying'er".
"where have you been."
"Go to the kitchen."
"You're not ready yet, and you're already getting out of bed."
I reached out and pulled up his sleeve, and saw that the wound on his wrist had already scabbed over. "It scabbed over so quickly?"
“I also find it strange. I feel very energetic when I wake up. I walk around when you are asleep. Fortunately, when I was in Linyang, I would go out with Anshi whenever I had nothing to do. Sometimes we would even stay overnight on the mountain, so making some simple meals was not a problem.”
"You rest first, I'll take care of these things." Although I knew it was the shopkeeper who was secretly helping, Xie Yuancheng was still injured and couldn't be overworked.
"Ying'er, can you do it?"
Xie Yuancheng had a mocking expression on his face, and he actually looked down on me.
"You can learn even if you don't know how, but you can only stay in bed and not move around."
"yes."
However, the next morning, I confidently said I would make breakfast for Xie Yuancheng, but I ran into trouble as soon as I entered the kitchen. The wood looked fine, but it kept burning and going out, and the kitchen was full of smoke. I couldn't get the fire going.
"Ahem, Ying'er, you can go out now."
"It was already on fire, it's my fault for not adding more firewood, please give me another chance."
"No, if you keep making a fire, you'll attract people. Although I can get out of bed now, it's still a bit difficult to deal with a group of skilled bodyguards."
I walked out dejectedly. Xie Yuancheng's right arm was still in a sling. Looking at his back, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He was really unlucky to have married a wife like me who couldn't do anything and was always getting into trouble with outsiders!
Xie Yuancheng took care of everything in the kitchen, while I helped wash the vegetables. Fortunately, it didn't require much skill, but I often ended up crushing the vegetables. Xie Yuancheng would just laugh along with me.
I stayed for five days, and thankfully it was safe every day; no one bothered me.
"Yuancheng, the scabs on your wounds have all fallen off. This medicinal bath is really good!"
"It wasn't the medicinal bath that helped, Ying'er. Did something happen while I was unconscious?"
Xie Yuancheng's inquisitive gaze swept over me.
I told him that the shopkeeper had gone in to give him acupuncture, and I repeated to him everything he had said. I just kept the fact that I had transmigrated and that he had a past relationship a secret.
"The pawnshop owner? You mean Doctor Zhang? He saved me again this time. He also saved me when I suddenly fell seriously ill when I was seventeen. Later, he taught me a lot of medical skills. Has he come? I haven't seen him for three years?"
