"Oh, thank you for your concern, shopkeeper."
"Hey, it's not that I'm concerned, it's that I'm worried about your husband. He's been so worried about you, searching high and low for doctors and herbs to brew medicine for you, and even discarding the bitter herbs and replacing them with others. So, I've started to take it to heart too. You should stay away from the wind."
"...Okay, thank you."
Xie Lingqin looked at the innkeeper, nodded slightly, turned around, and left the inn.
No wonder the medicine wasn't bitter, nor did it taste like it had sugar added; Xu Yiran had gone to the trouble of getting another medicine to replace it in order to mask the medicinal taste.
"But, girl, you can go shopping if you want. Go to the main street up ahead. It's lively every night, with lots of people, and the wind isn't too strong."
The shopkeeper's voice came from behind.
Xie Lingqin nodded in thanks.
It was a small county town, not very big, but it was small yet complete in every way. Even the smallest place has its own business.
As Xie Lingqin had instructed, she found herself surrounded by shops, taverns, candied hawthorn skewers, and street performers—everything one could imagine.
However, the place is small, and most of the people coming and going are merchants and pedestrians.
Xie Lingqin's face was half hidden under a veil, but her slender yet shapely figure, walking in such a bustling city, was a breath of fresh air and attracted quite a few eyes.
"Young lady, you are so beautiful, take a look at this hairpin, it will surely enhance your beauty."
The vendors nearby were also generous with their praise in order to attract customers.
Xie Lingqin felt a little self-deprecating. Beautiful? Just a few days ago, a little girl said she was ugly.
"Young lady, let me tell your fortune and ask about your destiny and future."
Beside her, another voice caught Xie Lingqin's attention because it sounded listless and lacked enthusiasm.
Xie Lingqin paused for a moment in front of the fortune teller, then looked at him and asked, "Is your prediction accurate?"
"No money required if you don't comply."
No money if you don't allow it?
If it's about something ten or eight years from now, that's not allowed. Where will she find this person then?
"Young lady, would you like your fortune told?"
"ah."
Just as Xie Lingqin was about to respond, a boy ran past and bumped into her, almost causing her to fall to the ground, but she was caught by a pair of hands.
