Chapter 250 Sending Clothes
"I, I, I just..." He covered the jade pendant with his hands and was speechless.
The people around her were furious. It was none of their business, but this person had to pretend to be a good person. Why did she stop pretending halfway? The moment their expectations and hopes were dashed, they instantly turned into anger and blamed her.
"How can you say one thing and do another?"
"That's right, I thought you were a kind person, but what happened? You're simply a deception."
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the jade pendant! It's just a jade pendant to you, but it can save our lives."
"No, don't come near me!" The person who was pointing fingers at Song Ci just now could only flee towards the door in a hurry.
After the people left, Wanxiang snorted, "There are all kinds of people here. The young lady finally came out to eat, and she still came to annoy people."
Song Ci's interest was ruined and she had no appetite. She stood up and prepared to leave with the two of them. Everyone around her looked at the food on the table with burning eyes. The brave ones smacked their lips and asked, "Miss, since you don't want these things, why don't we eat them for you to avoid wasting them?"
"Everyone, please feel free."
After saying this, Song Ci left without looking back.
When she returned to the house, she saw Pei Ji sitting in the corridor, accompanied by A Lin and Shi Tou. Song Ci walked over and Shi Tou immediately greeted her, "Sister Song."
When he saw Wanxiang, he called out softly, "Sister Wanxiang."
Wanxiang raised her chin and said, "Why do you sound reluctant when you call me that?" Knowing that Shitou was afraid of her, Wanxiang deliberately teased him fiercely, completely forgetting that he was also a teenager.
Shitou scratched his head, turned around and quickly said to Alin, "I agreed to what I just said. I have something to do right now, so I'll leave first!" As he said that, he left in a flash.
Everyone couldn't help but smile. Wanxiang touched her nose awkwardly and said, "Am I that scary?"
Song Ci glanced at her and teased, "I'm afraid he will never forget the time when you chased him with a spoon."
Wanxiang felt even more embarrassed and stamped her feet, "This kid deserves to be punished."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and found that Pei Ji was looking at her. His clear eyes looked at her in the sunlight, with a special tenderness, and he just looked at her steadily.
Realizing this, Song Ci felt his face suddenly getting hot and turned away.
A Lin: "Miss Song, I have something to tell you."
The ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared instantly after A Lin interrupted her. Song Ci: "What's the matter?"
"I plan to have A-Lin join us. He's very talented at throwing, and we understand his condition. It's not a big problem. With you, Miss Song, treating him, it will definitely be cured."
Song Ci nodded and told the two about Shitou and his brother, "This child just lost his only relative, and he forgot to take good care of you."
A Lin's expression became more serious. "Of course. Since you've joined us, you're one of us. Miss Song, there's no need to worry."
“Cough cough cough…”
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Go get me a glass of water."
"yes."
Pei Ji stood up, turned his head and looked at Song Ci in the corridor under the door, and said in a gentle voice, "Come with me."
Song Ci didn't know what the other party meant. She took a few steps forward and found that Tian'er and Wanxiang behind her hadn't moved at all. She smiled mischievously and pretended to be calm, saying, "I didn't eat well just now. Please prepare some snacks and tea for me."
Holding back her laughter, Wanxiang said obediently, "Yes, I understand."
After entering the room, Song Ci noticed several sets of brightly colored dresses on the table. Before she could say anything, Pei Ji whispered, "It must be uncomfortable without a change of clothes. I didn't know what materials and colors you liked, so I bought several. Take a look and see if you find anything you like."
Song Ci was a little surprised. She raised her hand and picked up the skirts, stroking them with her fingers.
The touch was soft and the materials were excellent. The surroundings were in a mess and the border was in ruins. She had gone out today with the intention of buying some replacement clothes, but she couldn't find any after walking around for a long time.
She didn't ask where the material came from, but just said softly, "Thank you, I like this skirt very much."
And at first glance, it seems to be almost the same size as mine.
Pei Ji has a good voice. His voice is clear, like the water flowing in a mountain stream. Now his voice is even gentler and sounds a little bewitching.
"Well, as long as you like it."
Pei Ji, who had gone out to pour tea, also returned. He placed the tea on the table and said, "Miss Song, do you like it? My young master searched the entire border city today and finally bought these from someone else's inventory..."
Someone else's? That makes sense. The fabrics from the border fabric and garment shops had probably been eaten up by foreigners long ago. Only those bought by others could be preserved.
"Alin, stop talking!"
Ah Lin was silent, but he was proud in his heart. Young Master is just like this. Since you have done it, you must let people know. Otherwise, how will Miss Song know your good intentions?
Song Ci didn't know what to say, so she suddenly said, "I haven't taken your pulse for a few days. I don't know how you're recovering. Let me take your pulse."
Pei Ji nodded and sat down obediently, "Okay."
Song Ci also sat down in front of him, placed two fingers on his wrist, held his breath and began to take his pulse.
The pulse sound is much stronger than before, but the body is weak. However, there are no good medicines at the moment, so I can only return to Beijing and slowly recuperate. But generally speaking, everything is moving in the right direction.
Pei Ji was very thin, even thinner than when he was in Beijing. His wrists were so white that they were almost transparent, and one could even see the blue-gray veins.
It was so fragile that it seemed like it would break with a single blow, yet it made Song Ci's heart beat violently for some unknown reason.
She pulled her hand away and said, "I'm recovering well, but I'm still a little weak."
Pei Ji pulled down his sleeve and placed his other hand on the spot where Song Ci's fingers had just landed. That spot felt itchy as if it had been scratched by a feather.
"Since Miss Song said so, there must be no problem. You can rest assured now, Master."
"Yeah. I'm almost done packing. Let's leave tomorrow."
Song Ci naturally had no objection. She really wanted to return to the capital. If she didn't, how could she settle accounts with the Song family? After dragging it out for so long, it was time to send them on their way.
The next day, after washing and changing into new clothes, Song Ci felt much more comfortable all over.
She felt like she was stinking before.
She gave the remaining clothes to Wanxiang and Tian'er, asking them to alter them according to their figures. The two of them were not much better off, just like her, and they were very happy when they heard that there were clothes to change.
