After Ning Yin finished her breakfast, she began to take Xiao Xuan's pulse. The pulse was much better than last time.
Her medicine played a crucial role.
If Xiao Xuan continues this treatment for two months, his illness will be cured.
Since the man had done her such a big favor, she was very happy to do her best in the treatment.
A large pot of medicine was quickly boiled.
“Young Master Li, it will take some time to expel the cold from your body. These medicines you take back today will last you three days.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan raised his eyes and glanced around Ning Yin's room. Compared to its dilapidated state last time, it was completely transformed this time.
Even the furniture was newly made.
A slight smile played on his lips as he realized he had been right to give more money last time.
“Miss Ning, there’s really no need to brew so much medicine for me. I can come every day.”
As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and quickly added something else.
"Freshly brewed medicine is more effective, right?"
Ning Yin nodded, acknowledging the fact.
The man's behavior is quite normal now, and she doesn't object to brewing medicine for him every day.
"If you have time, you can come every day, but please take these medicines back and finish them first, so as not to waste them."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Xiao Xuan gripped the medicine bowl with his pale, cold fingers and drank the entire bowl of medicine in an instant.
He also packed up the remaining Ningyin wine in the pot for him to take home and drink.
Xiao Xuan took it, took out five hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve, and handed them over.
"Actually, we don't need that many. We didn't use acupuncture this time."
Ning Yin waved her hand, after all, the person had helped her so much today.
It would be unreasonable to accept so many more.
"Take it, the extra can be used to pay for next time."
Three days later, it will be the annual Moon Chasing Festival.
That morning, after Ning Yin finished her consultation, she thought Xiao Xuan would come over today.
They waited all morning, but Xiao Xuan never showed up.
"Suxin, pack your things, we're going into town this afternoon."
The Moon Chasing Festival in Daqi is very lively, with lantern displays and boat tours in the evening.
The boat will also be decorated with all sorts of lanterns.
If you can solve the riddle, you can get a free lantern.
Since her mother passed away, Ningyin has never gone out to see the lanterns again.
The year she married into the general's mansion, Shen Yun originally wanted to take her to see the lanterns.
But that night, Shen Yun stood her up again because he was tied up with official business.
This time, she insisted on going to see it.
This courtyard is too deserted; it's a good time to buy some lanterns to add some festive cheer.
Ningyin and Suxin did not hire a carriage and walked into the capital city, arriving in the evening.
The colorful lanterns looked like rainbows at first glance, dazzling the two of them.
Ning Yin couldn't help but sigh, "Kyoto is truly dazzling with its wealth and splendor."
"Miss, look at this, it's so beautiful."
Su Xin was as happy as a child, pointing at a lotus lantern with her eyes shining.
Ningyin went over and bought a lamp for Suxin and herself.
This girl is an orphan who has been by my side since she was a child and is extremely loyal.
She hadn't had a good life with me before, and after marrying into the general's mansion, she was treated even worse.
Now that I've started my own business and made some money, I should buy her some things.
"Let's go release some lanterns."
The two walked through the crowd and happened to see Xiao Xuan picking out lanterns at a stall.
"Qingying, what do you think of this?"
The man was examining a rabbit lamp with utmost seriousness.
Qingying, holding her sword, also began to choose.
Although they didn't know why their crown prince had suddenly become interested in the lanterns that this woman liked.
But since it's the Moon Chasing Festival, he also chose one to take back to his room and hang up to add to the festive atmosphere.
“They’re all quite beautiful, young master. I prefer the pheasant one.”
Qingying pointed to a phoenix lantern next to her, her eyes shining.
Just as Xiao Xuan was about to mock Qing Ying for having useless eyes that could be removed, he suddenly smelled a faint herbal fragrance wafting past him.
That was Ning Yin's scent, one he knew all too well.
I turned around to look, only to find that the bustling crowd was full of people moving around.
There were countless girls around Ningyin's age, and even after pushing through the crowd and looking several times, she was nowhere to be found.
"Young master, young master, shall we buy?"
Qingying held two lamps in her hands and turned to look at Xiao Xuan.
Pulling himself out of his reverie, Xiao Xuan nodded absentmindedly.
"Pay up!"
Ningyin and Suxin followed the flow of people all the way to the shore of Emerald Lake.
She remembered that last time she came here, she waited for Shen Yun for a long time by herself.
She thought Shen Yun would celebrate her birthday with her.
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt even more relieved.
Life couldn't be more carefree these days.
The master and servant placed the lantern into the lake and closed their eyes to make a wish.
Little did they know, a pair of old, decrepit eyes were staring intently in their direction from not far away.
Liu Ruhui rubbed her eyes, confirming once again that this was indeed Ning Yin.
She is Ningyin's stepmother.
The year after Ning Yin's mother passed away, Ning's father married another woman.
At that time, Liu Ruhui had a son. Because her family had some power, Ning's father still doted on him like a treasure.
Not long after, Liu Ruhui gave birth to another daughter for Ning's father.
From then on, Ningyin's status at home declined, and her father no longer cared about her.
She and her grandmother depended on each other for survival.
Later, when Ningyin married into the general's mansion, Liu Ruhui began to act like the general's mother-in-law.
For more than a year, he has used this relationship to show off in front of wealthy women.
