Chapter 755: Expedient Measures
A lady of the prefect's status would naturally not go downstairs to have breakfast in the lobby.
The maids went to the kitchen to bring the meals personally.
But before the maid went to the kitchen to serve the meal, she came to the lobby, bowed to Xing Xing, and said with a smile: "Greetings to Miss Feng. Our mistress has been thinking about the health of Miss Feng's friend, and she specially asked this servant to come and see. Miss Feng, is your friend feeling better?"
Xing Xing smiled and said, "I haven't had time to thank you yet. Thanks to the doctor you recommended, my friend is feeling much better now."
The maid glanced at Wei Shiyan and said with a smile, "Miss Feng, your friend's complexion does look a little more rosy than yesterday. That's good, it's worth it that our Madam has been thinking about him all the time."
That's all that has been said.
Xing Xing's round eyes curved, "Please tell your wife, if she has nothing to do after breakfast, we will go over to visit and thank her, so that she won't be worried about you all the time."
The maid smiled and said, "Then I will convey this message to Miss Feng."
Pang Jinkang's heartbeat quickened slightly when he heard it in the corner.
There was longing in his eyes as he looked secretly at Xing Xing.
Although Xingxing noticed it, she pretended not to see it.
She felt that she had made her words very clear to this Young Master Pang.
However, their family was probably used to doing this in Anjiang, and they didn't take Xingxing's refusal seriously at all, even though Xingxing brought Wei Shiyan to the banquet in the name of her fiancé, she still refused.
Xingxing feels conscientiously that they are all mentally ill.
At this juncture, we should not get too involved with people with mental problems.
After breakfast, Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan looked at each other, got up in tacit understanding, and went back to the room to rest for a while.
The rain outside the window was getting lighter and lighter, and the sky was getting brighter. It looked like it would stop soon.
Xingxing planned to take Wei Shiyan to meet the prefect's wife later, and leave after she had dealt with the matter quickly.
Yu Yonggui curled his lips and said, "Looking at the way they are, I don't think they will give up easily. They might even resort to robbing us by force... We just need to prepare for the worst."
Yu Yonggui touched the soft blade at his waist, and the meaning was very straightforward - he was ready to kill.
Wei Shiyan's sword was placed under the pillow in Wei Shiyan's room.
They all prepared for the worst.
…
Xingxing and Wei Shiyan went to the room of the prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo.
Xing Xing knocked on the door.
A maid pushed the door open and came out, her tone sincere and full of apology: "Miss Feng, please wait for a moment with this young master. Our wife is feeling unwell and is taking medicine."
Xing Xing understood that this was a show of force from Lady Na Luo.
Xingxing just found it funnier and funnier.
It was obviously the prefect's wife who tried her best to get her to come and see her.
She did come, but she picked up Joe again.
It's really boring.
Xing Xing was not used to it either, and immediately said with a worried look on her face: "Since Madam is not feeling well, I will go back with my friend and not bother Madam anymore. I will come to visit Madam next time when I have the chance."
Having said that, Xingxing pulled Wei Shiyan and was about to leave.
The maid suddenly panicked and turned around subconsciously to look somewhere in the room.
Xingxing didn't care about her and took two steps forward.
Probably because she had received some message, the maid rushed forward without paying any attention to etiquette and hurriedly tried to pull Xing Xing's arm: "Miss Feng, please stay!"
However, a pair of cold eyes fell on her, and the sense of oppression came over her like an overwhelming force.
The maid was so frightened that her outstretched hand froze and she didn't dare to grab Xingxing's arm at all.
I subconsciously looked in the direction of that gaze, but saw that it was the "fiancé" standing next to Miss Feng, whose complexion was a little rosier than yesterday.
But now looking at it, the fiancé looks no different from an ordinary young man, so why would there be any terrible sense of oppression?
The maid thought to herself that she must have been confused by Miss Feng's unconventional behavior.
Fortunately, Xing Xing stopped as she wished, turned around and looked at her with a smile: "What's wrong? Didn't you say that the prefect's wife was taking medicine?"
The maid had cold sweat on her forehead and smiled: "Our Madam has just used the medicine. I will take Miss Feng and this young master in now."
She lowered her head and made a "please" gesture very respectfully.
Xing Xing knew that this was all arranged by the prefect's wife, Luo. She didn't want to argue with a little maid, so she paused and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then fine."
Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan entered the house and greeted Luo, saying, "Hello, Madam Magistrate."
Mrs. Luo sat on the couch, smiling, "It's really hard for me to meet Miss Feng."
Xing Xing smiled slightly: "Madam, you are joking. Madam's body is worth a lot of money, it is invaluable, so of course I put you first."
Luo laughed.
This little girl surnamed Feng is very eloquent.
Her eyes fell on Wei Shiyan, who was half a step behind Xing Xing.
"This is..."
Xing Xing turned her head and glanced at Wei Shiyan, her smile becoming more genuine: "This is my fiancé, Shiyan."
Xingxing told Wei Shiyan yesterday that this was an act of rights and interests.
Wei Shiyan said it was okay.
Xingxing then openly used the name of her fiancé.
Luo drew out his tone: "Oh?..."
She looked Wei Shiyan up and down, with that half-smile on her face again: "Is this the reason you rejected my son's fiancé?"
If he deliberately brought this up in front of the girl's fiancé, it would definitely cause resentment in the girl if it happened to an ordinary family.
Xingxing became more and more disgusted with Luo.
Always using these inferior methods.
But at this moment, Mrs. Luo looked very concerned: "Have you used the medicine yesterday? I heard that after taking the medicine, your complexion is better than yesterday. But I didn't see you yesterday, is it really better?"
Mrs. Luo was making insinuations. She first hinted that Wei Shiyan looked unwell, and then mentioned that Xingxing and Wei Shiyan did not come to pay their respects to her yesterday.
Wei Shiyan said coldly: "Thanks to Madam's help in calling the doctor, I am better today than before. I would like to thank Madam very much."
Xing Xing just smiled aside.
Luo's expression changed slightly.
It is said that this banquet is also hosted by a merchant family, but judging by their speech and behavior, they seem to be quite methodical.
"mother!"
There were panting and cheering voices coming from outside.
The maid hurried over and opened the door.
But it was Pang Jinkang.
Pang Jinkang heard that Xingxing brought her fiancé to pay respects to his mother, so he ran over.
Mrs. Luo saw her son running out of breath, his face flushed, and sweat on his forehead. She stood up with some heartache and said, "You were sick yesterday, why are you running so fast today?"
Pang Jinkang said "nothing", but he couldn't help but glance at Xingxing.
