Chapter 151 Stealing Things
Song Ci understood that she had thought she was dead, and that had really scared her. She raised her hand and gently stroked Wanxiang's back, soothing her, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Miss, please don't take risks again." Wanxiang sobbed, "I only have you. If anything happens to you, I won't live anymore."
These words made Alin look at her more. Wanxiang was crying with tears streaming down her face and her hair was disheveled, but the stubbornness on her face could not be concealed.
Although he is reckless and not smart enough, he is still a loyal person.
Before, Alin always thought Wanxiang was clumsy and not very skillful, but this time he was impressed by her.
"Okay, stop crying, wash your face with hot water and comb your hair again."
Soon, A-Lin asked someone to bring hot water. Wanxiang washed her face, and Song Ci combed her hair herself. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "How can I let a young lady comb my hair for me?"
"You usually comb my hair, so what if I comb your hair?"
Song Ci spoke very calmly, and the tenderness in Pei Ji's eyes was even greater.
After sitting down, Pei Ji asked about what happened today. Song Ci did not hide anything and told him everything.
"This must be some kind of forbidden technique."
"Forbidden technique?"
Pei Ji nodded slightly. "The world is so vast that nothing is impossible. The Great Zhou Dynasty strictly forbad these things, so it's no surprise that ordinary people don't know about them. Qimen Dunjia, divination, fortune-telling, these are all things of the esoteric sect. It seems that the art of miracle doctor is more than just medical skills."
There was another meaning behind what he said. Song Ci was now Lao Gui's apprentice, and their strange ways were also a disguised reminder to Song Ci.
"Master treats me very well."
She understood Pei Ji's warning, but Song Ci believed she had her own eye for talent. She had seen how the old ghost treated her. Even if he knew these things, he was a master who had helped her many times.
She would not have any opinions about her master because of what anyone said.
Seeing her insistence, Pei Ji didn't say much, only said: "Old Ghost is indeed very worried about you today. He brought us here."
"Master, he is a good man."
Pei Ji's eyes were inexplicable. A good man? An old ghost? Although he was under the command of Prince Yu, even Prince Yu could not use him at will. Moreover, this man was not only good at practicing medicine and saving lives, but also at poison.
It is said that someone provoked him while he was drinking in a restaurant. After a conflict, the man went crazy when he got home that night and made a fuss at home for several days before he gave up. Can such a person be considered a good person?
"Coo."
Song Ci blushed when she heard the sound coming from her stomach. Why was her stomach making such a noise at this moment?
"Alin, ask the kitchen to make some light food."
A Lin nodded: "Yes." and then went out.
Wanxiang's stomach was growling with hunger, but she was not only worried about Huai Zhen, but now she was also worried about Pei Ji. If it weren't for him, how could the young lady risk doing such a thing?
"Don't do this again."
Song Ci, who was feeling embarrassed, looked up in confusion, and then she understood what he meant by that sentence.
"It's my own choice."
Pei Ji looked serious, "Why are you helping me like this." This was something he couldn't understand. Song Ci had helped him time and again, told him the truth about the poisoning, sent him a prescription to suppress the toxicity, and sent him a prescription to understand the medicine. Now he was desperately trying to help him find the herbs.
What exactly does she want?
Why? Song Ci thought about it. She had initially intended to exploit Pei Ji. Pei Ji's status, family background, and power were all things she desperately needed. Only with these could she suppress the restless Song family and make them unable to raise their heads forever.
What happened next? Pei Ji had helped her time and again, and seeing his character and ambition, Song Ci stopped using him and started to not want to see such a person die in the harem dispute.
She didn't dare to say it. She woke up from her dreams several times in fright, and each time she dreamed that Pei Ji could not suppress the poison and died.
The fear and discomfort in the dream made her unable to let go for a long time.
In the end, for various reasons, she just whispered, "I don't want to see you die." Yes, without any explanation, she really didn't want to see Pei Ji die. Death is inexplicable.
Pei Ji's eyes were complicated, and he quickly smiled. "There are many people who hope I die, but this is the first time I've heard that someone doesn't want me to die."
"Why don't you explain?"
After interacting with him, I found that everything Pei Ji did was good for the country and the people, but he got a bad reputation and was scolded by others.
If he is willing to explain, everyone will understand his intentions.
"Explain?" Pei Ji shook his head. "People only want to see what they want to believe. Explanations are useless. Sometimes being feared is more convenient than being respected."
Seeing that he was calm and composed, Song Ci really wanted to tell him that such a bad reputation would cause him countless troubles in the future and would be used as a sharp weapon to attack him.
But she didn't say, she couldn't explain, where these ideas came from.
Rebirth is her biggest secret, and she trusts no one.
She wanted to tell her father and mother, but she was the only one who had been reborn. They were still the same as before. Would they believe what she said? People who had not experienced it would only think that her words were unrealistic and alarmist.
After eating, Song Ci rested for a while and then said goodbye.
The next day, the doorman said that someone had sent something to Song Ci.
Song Rouxi happened to hear it and said with a smile: "What is it? Why don't I send it to my third sister?"
The concierge didn't dare to interfere in the fight between the masters. Since the eldest lady had spoken, she could only obey and obediently handed over a wooden box.
She took advantage of no one noticing and opened it to take a look. She found it was just a herb. She curled her lips and said, "I thought it was something good. A herb is not worth sending so eagerly."
Ling'er's eyes rolled, "Miss, maybe it's a good thing."
Song Rouxi thought about it and realized that she didn't know what medicinal herbs were. Maybe it was really a good thing, otherwise why would it be sent to her so eagerly? She immediately took it and walked towards the main room.
By the time Song Ci realized it, half an hour had passed.
"The eldest wife is so shameless. It was obviously the young lady's thing, but she took it away in such a despicable way." Wanxiang cursed.
"She wants to take it away because it's mine." Song Ci stood up. "Let's go. It's time to get the things back."
Song Rouxi and Song Han were drinking tea when there was a commotion at the door. Then, Song Ci walked in without caring about the maids and old women trying to stop her.
Of course Song Rouxi knew the reason why she came, and she felt a little guilty at the moment, but she didn't show it on her face.
Song Han frowned, "What is Third Sister doing?"
Song Ci ignored him and turned to look at Song Rouxi, "Where are my things? I heard you took them."
"My third sister came to our eldest wife when she lost something. Does she think we are thieves?" Song Rouxi refused to admit it.
