Wei Jingzhuo walked out of the room. The servants who were waiting outside saw their master finally come out of the room and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Master, dinner is ready. May we have it brought in now?"
The servants waiting under the eaves were extremely well-behaved and made no sound, for fear of disturbing the intimacy inside the house.
However, the young maids were quite curious and quickly stole a glance at their master while bowing. They saw that their master's face still held a cold and indifferent expression, completely befitting a refined and gentle gentleman.
Once outside, he reverted to his usual self.
If they hadn't been on guard duty outside last night, they would have truly believed that their master had always been this way.
But they also noticed that their master's collar was unusually high today, and his eyes were filled with smug satisfaction. However, the moment he stepped out of the room, the warmth in his eyes vanished completely.
Lin Qingfeng grinned widely, as if it were his wedding night.
From the moment she married into the family, the two masters had been constantly at odds. Now that they have finally consummated their marriage, the young master must be getting married soon too.
Those who followed their master all hoped that he would have many children and grandchildren as soon as possible, so that they would have something to look forward to.
Wei Jingzhuo ignored him and walked straight out, instructing the people behind him, "Bring dinner in later."
Everyone bowed respectfully and then led the person into the room.
Su Wan had already dressed and washed up inside. She was extremely hungry, and her stomach was rumbling.
She felt a little uncomfortable as the servants filed in, but she still managed to put on a nonchalant expression.
The head maid glanced at Su Wan, suppressing her amazement.
In just one night, she felt that the lady had become so radiant and beautiful. Her eyes and brows shone with a spring-like brilliance, like a flower that had been watered and blossomed, making it hard to look away.
Su Wan looked at the table full of food and then said, "You may all leave. I am not used to being waited on here."
The people in the manor were already aware of her habit, and the master disliked anyone getting too close, so there were very few servants in the room.
So after she finished speaking, the servants quietly left the room.
Wei Jingzhuo had only left to avoid embarrassing Su Wan. When he saw the servants come out, he strode into the house.
Su Wan glanced at the person who had arrived, then picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. Wei Jingzhuo sat down beside her and joined her in the meal.
She asked him with some surprise, "I thought you had left. Why are you back? Is there something else?"
Wei Jingzhuo ladled out a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her, "A-Wan, are you going to throw me away after you're done using this?"
puff!
Su Wan almost vomited up the chicken soup she had just drunk.
What kind of talk is that? It's like she called a male prostitute. She was the one who got completely taken advantage of last night, okay?
"Am I that kind of person?" she said, putting down the porcelain bowl. "I thought there were still things to take care of at the military camp, but I didn't expect you to come back."
Wei Jingzhuo smiled slightly, picked up a handkerchief from the table and gently wiped the soup stains from the corners of her mouth: "The matter of the Western Rong has been dealt with, and the military pay of the Northwest Army has also been distributed. I have a few days of free time now, so I can spend some time with Awan."
Su Wan glanced up at him: "Are you really that free?"
Wei Jingzhuo put down the handkerchief, picked up his chopsticks and ate some food: "Nothing has happened these past few days, A-Wan, is something wrong?"
Su Wan picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of chicken soup: "There is indeed something."
During the meal, she remembered that there was something she hadn't done yet.
It's a pharmacy in Suiyang County.
That pharmacy was originally left by her father, but it was seized by the Yang couple.
She had originally planned to bring the pharmacy back, but an accident occurred, and she was kidnapped by Lu Bang and taken to Xirong. This incident delayed her plans, and she forgot about it. Otherwise, she would have already taken over the pharmacy.
Now that the matter with the Western Rong has been resolved, she naturally wants to go back and take the shop back. This is the property left by her father; she can't leave it to the Yang family.
“I want to go back to Suiyang County,” she asked him, looking up at him. “I want to take back the pharmacy my father left me.”
Wei Jingzhuo served her food while listening to her talk. He naturally knew some things about Suiyang County, such as how the Yang family had taken over Awan's shop.
However, Ah Wan was once alone in Suiyang dealing with the shop's affairs when she was kidnapped and taken to Xirong. Since then, he has been unwilling to let Ah Wan go out alone.
He put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression, "I won't stop A-Wan from going to Suiyang County. Although I'm fine, I can't stray too far from the army. If you're going, take the people I gave you with you."
Those people were all highly skilled individuals he had carefully selected, specifically to protect Su Wan's safety. If he weren't tied up here, he would definitely have gone with A-Wan.
Su Wan did not refuse this time. Having learned her lesson from last time, she also hoped to have a few skilled people protecting her.
After talking for a while, the two set a time to go to Suiyang.
She had originally planned to leave early the next morning, but Wei Jingzhuo stopped her, saying, "Tomorrow is too rushed. You should rest first before going to Suiyang County."
Su Wan glanced at him, "Isn't this all your fault?"
Wei Jingzhuo looked relaxed. After finishing his meal, he sipped the tea served by the servants and chuckled, "Yes, it's all my fault. Ah Wan, you must go and come back soon. I'll miss you."
Su Wan has now realized that after this person has taken a sip of meat, he has started to talk inappropriately. What happened to his aloof and indifferent demeanor?
...
After a day, Su Wan felt that she had rested enough, so she set off for Suiyang County with several highly skilled guards.
The only slight regret was that she couldn't ride a horse. She had to leave the prized Snowflake horse at the General's mansion. The weather was too cold to ride the little donkey either, so she had to travel by carriage.
It is already late autumn. Winter comes very early in the Northwest, and it started snowing as early as mid-November.
This time was different; there was nothing urgent, and the carriage moved exceptionally slowly. Guards escorted it on horseback.
Su Wan stayed in the carriage, but her consciousness drifted into the pharmacy, thinking that if she could bring back the pharmacy in Suiyang County, she could take out some commonly used medicines from the pharmacy and put them in the pharmacy for sale.
Since the army doctors in the Northwest military camps became familiar with the low-dose antibiotics, the number of soldiers falling ill has been greatly reduced.
The low-cost antibiotics were also very effective, and she planned to take those formulas and then find some doctors to make low-cost antibiotics to sell in pharmacies.
The carriage traveled for a whole day and arrived in Suiyang County in the evening.
Su Wan picked up the land deed in her hand and looked at it under the light.
The Yang couple were occupying the pharmacy and clearly wouldn't give it back easily. Although she had the land deed, simply taking back the pharmacy wasn't enough; she also needed to teach those two bastards a lesson.
