Chapter 489 Gift Giving
At night, Song Ruize returned to the Song residence.
As soon as I entered the door, a white shadow pounced towards me.
Song Ruize hugged the white shadow and touched its long hair.
“Woof woof…”
"This fortune-bringing creature is really smart. You haven't seen it many times, but it can smell your scent." Qin Huiyin said while sitting on the swing opposite.
When Song Ruize saw her, joy flashed in his eyes.
He was originally exhausted, but now it was as if bright colors were added to an ink painting, and the whole person became lively.
Qin Huiyin got off the swing and walked towards Song Ruize: "Brother, I made something to eat. Let's talk while we eat."
"good."
The housekeeper hurried over and said to Song Ruize, "Minghua County Lady sent a box, saying it was for you, my Lord."
Song Ruize took the box, opened it and saw an exquisite sword inside.
In addition to the sword, there was also a letter.
Song Ruize closed the box and said to the housekeeper, "Has the delivery person left?"
"not yet."
"Return the things." Song Ruize said calmly.
"yes."
Song Ruize took Qin Huiyin's hand and walked towards the lobby.
Qin Huiyin's gaze rested on the two people's intertwined hands.
I don't know why, but I always feel it's a bit weird.
This is not the first time they have held hands, but today it always feels a little strange, and I can’t tell what’s strange.
Could it be because Song Ruize held my hand too tightly today?
At the dinner table, Song Ruize picked up some food for Qin Huiyin and asked about Tang Yichen's injury.
Qin Huiyin told the truth, looked at Song Ruize and said, "Brother, how did you get them to let Big Brother go?"
"This time I was in charge of escorting Lady Minghua to visit her relatives. I encountered many dangers along the way. I have made a great contribution and was appreciated by the eldest princess. The eldest princess asked the emperor for my position as the commander-in-chief of the military division. She also said a few good words for Tang Yichen, and the emperor released him. After all, there are too few useful ministers in the court now, and Tang Yichen is one of the key players in the emperor's training. If such a useful chess piece is wasted, it will be difficult for him to find another one as useful as this one."
"If that's the case, wouldn't that mean you owe the princess a favor?" Qin Huiyin said, "It's not easy to repay the favors of these royal nobles. Will she make things difficult for you?"
"It's okay. I'll see what happens."
"Brother, why did the Lady of Minghua County give you a sword? Although I don't know much about swords, the scabbard of that sword is so exquisite, it is definitely not an ordinary sword."
"I broke a sword while protecting her, and she wants to compensate me with one." Song Ruize said, "But my sword is just an ordinary sword, so I can't accept such a valuable sword. If I accept it, that will be the beginning of trouble."
Qin Huiyin was still a little worried.
Perhaps it was because of what happened to Princess Yuanying that he now instinctively resisted and rejected this kind of royal lady.
"Brother, why don't you find someone and get married as soon as possible! I always feel something is wrong. That Lady Minghua is too attentive to you."
When she first left Beijing, she saw Princess Minghua's attitude towards Song Ruize from upstairs and felt that something was wrong. Then the incident with Princess Yuanying and Tang Yichen happened. Seeing these noble ladies act so overbearingly, she felt that being entangled with these royal ladies was not a good thing. If Princess Yuanying left and Princess Minghua came, it would be fatal.
"You want me to find a girl and get engaged as soon as possible?" Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin's expression.
"Yes! It's better for you to pick one you like than to be forced to accept one you don't like and can't refuse. My eldest brother is a lesson for me. I really don't want to go through this stimulation again." Qin Huiyin said, looking at him expectantly, "Do you have one you like? If not, tell me what kind of person you like, and I'll help you find one."
Song Ruize pinched his eyebrows.
"I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first. You should go to bed early too!"
Qin Huiyin watched Song Ruize get up and leave.
"Did I say something wrong?" Qin Huiyin said to herself. "Or... is it that my brother is actually willing to marry these royal ladies?"
After Qin Huiyin returned to her room, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She always thought of the image of Song Ruize's exhaustion. And the last moment, when Song Ruize turned and left, the aura of dejection emanating from his body was something she hadn't seen in a long time.
Song Ruize is no longer the poor little boy he was back then. He is filled with murderous intent, majesty, and hostility. This feeling of powerlessness has not been seen in many years.
"No, I have to ask clearly." Qin Huiyin stood up.
She came to the next room and saw that the lights in the room were still on, so she knew that Song Ruize had not rested yet.
"Brother..." Qin Huiyin knocked on the door.
"Hmm..." A painful groan was heard.
When Qin Huiyin heard the voice, she pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Song Ruize half-undressed, sprinkling medicine powder behind his back.
There was a long knife wound on his back. The wound was so deep that you could see the flesh and blood.
"You're injured?" Qin Huiyin's face changed drastically. "Why didn't you tell me you were injured like this?"
She trotted forward and snatched the powder from his hand.
Song Ruize's face was pale, and he smiled faintly: "It's just a minor injury. After applying medicine, he will be fine tomorrow."
"Do you think you are an iron wall and can recover tomorrow?" Qin Huiyin took out the medicine box and found the white wine for disinfection first.
"Hiss..." The white wine spilled, and even a strong man would feel pain.
No matter how powerful he was, he was still made of flesh and blood. He was not indestructible, and he would still feel pain when he was hurt. When he felt the pain, he threw himself into her arms, holding her hand tightly to breathe.
Qin Huiyin finally understood why Song Ruize had held her hand so tightly just now.
He was busy running around despite such a serious injury. He hadn't had a rest since returning to Beijing, let alone a chance to apply medicine. The fact that he has been able to hold on until now shows that he has excellent physical fitness.
Qin Huiyin was heartbroken.
He has so many brothers now, and she is his sister, why does he still have to bear everything by himself?
"Yinyin..."
"I am here."
"I don't like those women. I don't want any of them. Not to mention the county lady, even if they are the princess or the princess, I don't like them. I don't like the appearance of a second mistress in this courtyard."
Qin Huiyin was stunned: "So, what you mean is... you don't plan to get married?"
Is he not interested in women, or is he not interested in marriage?
Song Ruize felt the wound hurt even more.
Being angry.
However, there were some things he didn't dare to say. Once he said it, she would hate him and would not even want to step into this door, and he would not have such a day.
He would rather maintain the current situation than take any risks.
"Yinyin has someone you like, do you want to get married?" Song Ruize asked this question, his fingers tightly gripping the quilt, anxiously waiting for her answer.
"I don't want to think about it now. I always feel that there is nothing I am particularly interested in." Qin Huiyin said, "Maybe it's because the fate has not arrived yet!"
