Su Wan was starving, so she didn't stand on ceremony with Wei Jingzhuo and sat down at the table. Looking at the dishes, both meat and vegetables, she looked surprised.
“The food today is quite lavish,” she turned to Wei Jingzhuo, “your wound hasn’t healed yet, so you shouldn’t eat greasy food. And don’t touch the meat. And these chili peppers, no, you’re not allowed to touch them. And this…”
She saw the stewed chicken soup on the table and quickly looked away.
Now, she feels a bit traumatized whenever she sees chicken soup.
Wei Jingzhuo sat opposite her and nodded slightly: "Okay, whatever you say, Awan."
Su Wan ladled a full bowl of chicken soup for him, then stood up and pushed the bowl in front of him. She glanced at him and smiled, "Can you drink it by yourself? Do you want me to feed you?"
Wei Jingzhuo didn't say anything, but picked up the spoon and swung it around like a sword a few times to show that he was perfectly fine. Then he reached out and pulled the bowl in front of him, scooped up a spoonful of soup and sipped it.
Su Wan then sat down with peace of mind, picked up her chopsticks, and happily began to eat.
Wei Jingzhuo was a man who adhered to etiquette from a young age, so even when eating, he was extremely elegant.
While eating, Su Wan kept an eye on Wei Jingzhuo. After he finished a bowl of chicken soup, she was about to give him another bowl, but Wei Jingzhuo shook his head and refused.
That's enough.
Su Wan didn't insist. She put down her chopsticks, took an empty cup from the apartment, and made him a cup of protein powder.
"Then drink this. When we get to the bedroom later, I'll change the medicine for your wound."
Wei Jingzhuo was already used to her seemingly conjuring things out of thin air. He glanced at the transparent cup and immediately found it quite intriguing. After finishing his protein powder, he held the cup and examined it.
After they finished eating, the two went to the bedroom together. Su Wan skillfully cut Wei Jingzhuo's bandages, cleaned the wound, changed the dressing, and re-bandaged it... After going through the whole process, she found that she was more efficient at her job.
This is called practice makes perfect; the more you do it, the more proficient you become.
She put all the medical equipment back into the medicine box, closed the lid, stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "All done."
Wei Jingzhuo put down the cup in his hand and took Su Wan's hand.
"Ah Wan, it's so late, you should rest."
They've both been busy with their own things lately and have rarely been together. Now that they finally have some free time, he hopes to spend more time with Su Wan.
"I'm going to wash up," Su Wan said, feeling his fingers rubbing against the back of her hand, and quickly pulled her hand away. "If you're sleepy, you can go to sleep first."
After saying that, she ran out in a flash.
That bed used to be hers, but now Wei Jingzhuo has taken it over. Judging from the way Wei Jingzhuo is acting, he wants her to share a bed with him. I bet he absolutely won't be able to resist.
This man still has a chest injury; let's wait until it heals before discussing it further.
She decided to extend her time washing up, until Wei Jingzhuo couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep before she went back.
...
"You touched my nose!"
Bai Zhiyi angrily slapped the maid's hand, making a crisp cracking sound.
"Yes, Miss, I know I was wrong," the maid hurriedly put the comb back on the table, then picked up a bronze mirror and held it in front of Bai Zhiyi. "Miss, do you think this hairstyle is fine?"
Bai Zhiyi had no interest in checking how her hair was styled. She first turned her face to one side to look at the wound on her nose, then turned to the other side to look at it again.
The location of the tear is just too perfect. Under the light of the candle on the table, a red patch on the fair nose, the tear is about half the size of a little fingernail, and it is particularly conspicuous from both the front and the side.
It wasn't serious; it was just a scrape off a layer of skin. But in her eyes, the wound was shocking, and even the scratch on her cheek seemed insignificant compared to the one on her nose.
How can I go out and face people now?
The maid said, "Miss, don't be too sad. Your skin will heal in a few days."
"Will it leave a scar?" Bai Zhiyi asked, feeling a lump in her throat and tears welling up in her eyes.
Knowing that her mistress cared deeply about her appearance, the maid quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry about it. It's just a minor cut. Doctor Lin said it will be fine in a few days after applying the ointment. I'll apply the ointment again for you later."
Bai Zhiyi remained silent, still frowning as she looked in the mirror.
The maid said, "If Miss is in a hurry, why don't I go and fetch Doctor Su? He's the most skilled doctor here; let him prescribe some medicine for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Zhiyi's expression changed, and she glared at the maid fiercely: "Shut up."
Find Doctor Su, find Doctor Su… It was this Doctor Su who messed with her nose and made her fall like this, and now he's treating her. If we really listen to the maid, who knows what kind of trouble will arise.
Looking back now, that guy definitely knew there was medicine in the chicken soup and deliberately made her drink it.
It's infuriating! They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
Seeing Bai Zhiyi's displeasure, the maidservant changed the subject, advising her mistress, "Miss, we've been here for over a month now, and it's already September. Let's go back to the capital."
She couldn't understand what was so good about this place, and why her young mistress refused to go back.
Apart from the Lin family mansion, which was somewhat decent, the rest of the place was dirt poor, truly a rural area, not worth staying in at all.
Could it be all for that young master Jin who never even glances at his young lady?
What kind of status does their young lady have in the capital? She can marry into any family she wants; even the Fifth Prince is favored by her.
