Shen Jia felt a tightness in her chest and a sense of shortness of breath.
Just as I was about to listen more carefully to confirm, the upstairs suddenly fell silent.
"Miss, are you going to buy it or not? If not, this lady next to you has her eye on it too."
The boss's voice pulled Shen Jia back to reality. Shen Jia's expression was a little unpleasant. Thinking of what Ning Yin had said earlier, she couldn't help but want to go upstairs to check on her.
But the upstairs area is a place of pleasure, and it would be too beneath her dignity as the daughter of a general.
I paid quickly, and just then Green Bamboo came back with a bag of pineapple cakes.
"Miss, we've finished shopping. Shall we go home?"
Green Bamboo was surprised to see Shen Jia looking so distracted.
"Green Bamboo, do you think the young master would come to a place like this?"
Shen Jia looked up at a room upstairs and asked instinctively.
Green Bamboo followed Shen Jia's gaze and said with a smile, "Miss, the young master dotes on you the most, how could he come to a place like this? Besides, didn't the gatekeeper of the Marquis's mansion say that our young master is off handling important matters?"
"But the voice I just heard sounded so much like him, so very much like him..."
"Miss, if you're really worried, shall we go up and take a look?"
Hearing what Green Bamboo said, Shen Jia really wanted to go up and see for herself. Just as the two of them were about to step onto the stairs.
A man and a woman came out of the room, and Shen Jia hurriedly looked over.
A fat, bearded man was hugging and kissing a woman, while Shen Jia frowned in disgust.
“Miss, look, this isn’t our son-in-law at all. With you by his side, he wouldn’t even look at these vulgar women.”
Green Bamboo tugged at Chen Jia's sleeve and pointed at the greasy man.
Shen Jia's complexion finally improved, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.
Yang Shujing is a handsome and elegant man, well-read and the heir of a marquis's family. How could he possibly come to a place like this?
Besides, she was going to slap Ning Yin in the face.
Shen Jia suddenly chuckled softly, realizing that she had been overthinking things.
"Let's go back to the General's Mansion."
After Shen Jia left, the greasy man upstairs quickly went into the room he had just been in.
"Hehe, Young Master Yang, my performance wasn't bad, was it? What do you think..."
The man rubbed his hands together, grinning lewdly.
Yang Shujing snorted and directly pulled out a hundred-tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Good job. Keep a close eye on her next time. That woman is so paranoid! She's ruining my good time with Xiaolan!"
The greasy man took the silver note and quickly left the room. Yang Shujing kissed Xiaolan and carried her to the bed.
......
As the last rays of dawn faded into the sky, Ningyin returned to the clinic.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw two blurry figures approaching me from the opposite direction.
Just as Ning Yin instructed Su Xin to bring all the things into the house, the two men walked right up to her.
The woman in the lead had her long hair tied in a neat ponytail, sharp features, and upturned eyes.
She possesses a touch of aloofness, yet also harbors an air of nobility and detachment.
At first glance, Ning Yin felt that this person's temperament was somewhat similar to Xiao Xuan's.
The woman looked up at the sign of Ning's Medical Clinic and nodded to Ning Yin.
"May I ask, young lady, are you the owner of this clinic?"
Yes, is there anything I can help you with?
Ning Yin looked behind the woman and saw that the horse she was leading was strong and slender with long limbs and soft fur.
It's clearly a rare and excellent horse, like Xiao Xuan's, which is both intelligent and incredibly fast.
Ning Yin scanned the horse and noticed that its hooves were covered in dark brown blood, which was still oozing out.
"Young lady, as you can see, my horse is injured. I wonder if you could bandage it for me? I'll give you double the consultation fee."
The woman knew that Ning Yin ran a medical clinic, not a veterinary clinic, so she specifically mentioned that she would give her more money for the consultation.
She was Princess Chongning, the emperor's most beloved daughter, and Xiao Xuan's elder sister.
As a princess of a country, Chongning was unlike those demure young ladies who composed poems and essays; instead, she had a particular fondness for wielding swords and spears.
Therefore, Chongning even went to the battlefield and repelled the invading enemy forces several times.
It was precisely because she rarely stayed in the princess's residence that, upon returning from a campaign, she discovered that her beloved consort was sleeping on her bed with another woman in his arms.
Enraged, Chongning immediately beheaded the adulterous couple.
From then on, he no longer concerned himself with matters of men and women, and only kept company with his warhorse.
Today, she and her subordinate Duan Li went hunting in the mountains, but unexpectedly, Jueying stepped into a trap set by the hunters.
It took Chongning and Duanli a lot of effort to remove the animal trap from Jueying's feet.
But the bleeding just wouldn't stop.
Fortunately, as they passed by, they saw a medical clinic, and Chongning finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, she would truly feel sorry for Jueying, who had traveled such a long distance.
Ningyin crouched down to examine it and found a large hole in the horse's hind leg.
If it is not bandaged immediately, it can be very dangerous.
He quickly instructed Su Xin to fetch some wound medicine and bandages, and was about to squat down.
Chongning added, "Wait a moment, young lady, let me calm it down first. I don't usually let anyone touch my horse except me."
Ningyin nodded. She had also heard of some intelligent horses that only recognize one master throughout their lives.
As Chongning gently stroked the horse's mane and whispered something in its ear, something miraculous happened.
The horse seemed to understand, and even nodded its head.
Chong Ning smiled slightly: "Alright, young lady, thank you for your trouble."
