For the next two days, Liu Ruoxi was recuperating in Hou's Mansion. Although Yin Wugou's sword avoided the heart, the woman's body was weaker after all. After losing so much blood this time, she needed to be more careful.
For this reason, Ning Chen deliberately invited the shopkeeper of the Du'an Pharmacy over.
The shopkeeper is a direct descendant of the eldest grandson, and he can definitely be trusted. Moreover, the relationship between Ning Chen and the shopkeeper is quite good, at least Ning Chen himself thinks so.
"Master Ning Xiaohou, the medicine money this time is 350 taels, plus the 730 taels you owed last time, a total of 1,080 taels, when are you going to pay it back?" chasing ~ debt.
"Cough cough" Ning Chen almost choked on his own tea, how could he owe so much.
"Shopkeeper, you drink tea" Ning Chen hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
The shopkeeper was not polite, took the tea and drank it, and continued, "Repay the money."
"Cough cough, mentioning money hurts my feelings. I'll ask someone to prepare dinner. I'll have dinner here tonight." After speaking, Ning Chen ran away, disappearing in a flash.
On the bed, Liu Ruoxi was stunned. It was the first time she saw Marquis Zhiming's side, and it was too different from the ruthless appearance before.
While packing the medicine box, the shopkeeper said, "Miss Liu, don't believe the rumors outside, and don't be fooled by the superficial things, your Lord Hou is a trustworthy person, of course, the premise is that you have his approval. "
When the words fell, the shopkeeper picked up the medicine box, turned around and walked outside, "Tell Ning Chen, just say I'm leaving, I remember the account, let him pay it back quickly, the dignified Xia Wuhou, I can't get this money. Not ashamed either”
After speaking, the shopkeeper left in a dashing manner, leaving Liu Ruoxi alone in the room, somewhat unable to recover.
Half an hour later, a pretty maid came with the boiled medicine, carefully helped Liu Ruoxi, and served him to drink the medicine.
"Thank you," Liu Ruoxi thanked softly.
"You're welcome, Lord Hou called me here," the maid replied with a slight smile.
Liu Ruoxi was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person is the Marquis of Zhiming?" The maid blew the medicine in the blowing spoon and brought it to the mouth of the former, and said softly, "Master Marquis is a good person, it has been a long time. You will understand that when I was first sent here by the Empress, I was also quite afraid. The reputation of our Marquis outside is indeed a bit scary.
, However, after contact, I found out that Hou Ye is actually very easy to get along with, never gets angry, and does not make things difficult for others. If you have to talk about shortcomings, you are poor.
Having said this, the maid couldn't help but laugh, and continued, "Our Hou Mansion is different from other places. I heard that the expenses in the mansion are all paid by the Empress from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in person, and the Hou Ye himself has no money at all"
After the bowl of medicine was fed, the maid got up and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go out first, it's getting late, I have to boil a bath water for our young master. Compared with Hou Ye, our young master is more difficult to serve. Some"
When the maid left, Liu Ruoxi leaned her back against the head of the bed, quietly thinking about what the shopkeeper and the maid said. Maybe she really didn't understand the Marquis of Fate who rescued her.
After dinner, the mansion gradually quieted down, and the servants went back to rest after a hard day's work.
"Bad man, I don't want to drink medicine, it's too bitter"
In the room, Xiao Mingyue was throwing a temper tantrum. In the past two days, she had a little bit of a cold, but it was not serious, but she always coughed.
"No, come here quickly." Of course Ning Chen couldn't agree, he chased after the whole house with the medicine in his hand, this little ancestor ran quite fast.
"I don't." Xiao Mingyue opened the door and ran out at once, escaping from the demon.
"Xiaoyun, help me stop her" Ning Chen hurriedly shouted when the maid came over.
"Okay." Upon seeing this, the maid immediately went up to stop him.
It's a pity that Xiao Mingyue had already made preparations to bypass the maid and run away without a trace.
Usually people in the backyard can't come in, only the maid is alone. When Xiao Mingyue runs away, no one can catch up.
Ning Chen was still carrying the medicine, and it was very inconvenient to chase after him. After returning to the house and putting it down, he asked the maid to help block the road. The two cooperated and finally forced Xiao Mingyue to a corner of the yard.
Seeing that she had nowhere to run, Mingyue rolled her eyes and ran into Liu Ruoxi's room next to her.
"banging"
The door was closed, Mingyue ran to the bed, took off her shoes, and got into the quilt without saying a word.
Liu Ruoxi was taken aback and didn't know what was going on.
Ning Chen and the maid pushed open the door and came in. When they saw the bulging quilt, they knew that Mingyue was hiding inside.
"Mingyue, I see you, come out soon," Ning Chen said.
"Don't go out" Mingyue shook her head vigorously with a small head.
"I went to catch you," Ning Chen threatened.
"Come here!" Mingyue was not afraid at all, wrinkled her little nose, and provocatively said.
Ning Chen has no more recruits, men and women are not in love, the defense between men and women is too serious in this era, he can't go up and lift Liu Ruoxi's quilt.
"Xiaoyun, come on" Ning Chen turned his head and said.
The maid nodded helplessly, and it seemed that she was the only one here.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mingyue lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed.
Spring is shining, and half of the snow-white peaks come into view, and the white flowers are dazzling.
"Ah!" Liu Ruoxi let out a coquettish cry, and quickly covered the quilt to block the leaking spring light.
Ning Chen turned around subconsciously and smiled bitterly in his heart, this time the joke became a big one.
Mingyue touched her nose, feeling a little guilty, looked at Liu Ruoxi on the bed, and comforted, "It's okay, if the bad guys don't want you, I will marry you when I grow up."
Liu Ruoxi was shy and impatient, not knowing what to say.
The maid hurried forward and pulled Mingyue over, "Little ancestor, hurry back and drink the medicine, Miss Liu can't wait for you"
Ning Chen went out and waited in the courtyard. When he saw Xiao Mingyue coming out, he deliberately put on a straight face.
Mingyue came up and tugged at the corner of the villain's clothes, and said cautiously, "Are you angry?"
"I'll drink the medicine obediently and stop running," Mingyue continued.
"Don't be angry," Mingyue said while hugging the former's arm and shaking it vigorously.
Ning Chen was shaken and dizzy, reached out and tapped the little girl's forehead, helplessly said, "Let's not be an example, let's go, go back to the house and drink the medicine"
"Well, hee hee" Mingyue laughed happily, holding the big hand of the bad guy with both hands, all the way back to the house.
The medicine was still on the table, it was warm, and it was just right to drink. Mingyue wrinkled her little nose and drank the medicine in one breath. Ning Chen immediately handed over a piece of cake and fed it into the little girl's mouth.
"It's so bitter," Mingyue said unhappily.
"Good medicine is bitter, and if you don't drink medicine for the cold, the root of the disease will fall," Ning Chen comforted patiently.
"Master Hou, the hot water for the young master is ready." The maid came in and said softly.
"Well, you can go back and rest as well." Ning Chen said, Xiaoyun is tired enough to take care of two patients a day, and Xiao Mingyue is not the master that ordinary people can serve.
"Slave and maid leave." The maid bowed and walked away.
"Go take a shower, and go to bed quickly after taking a bath." Ning Chen patted the little girl's head, and was about to go back to his room.
"I want to sleep with you," Mingyue said pitifully as she grabbed the bad guy's arm.
Ning Chen showed helplessness, broke free twice, and said, "How old are you, you still need someone to sleep with you, be obedient, hurry up and sleep."
"I don't" Mingyue just refused to let go.
Ning Chen talked about the truth for a long time, but Xiao Mingyue was still unmoved. There was no other way but to nod her head. Xiao Mingyue has been surprisingly self-willed in the past two days.
"Go take a shower first"
"it is good"
Mingyue let go of her hand, ran behind the screen, and took off her clothes to take a shower.
Ning Chen pushed open the door and came to Liu Ruoxi's room. The latter had already fallen asleep, and her beautiful face was slightly morbidly pale, making her even more attractive.
Ning Chenning pointed and gently tapped into Liu Ruoxi's heart, a clear stream of True Qi poured in, helping him recover from his injuries.
After a quarter of an hour, Ning Chen withdrew his hand and immediately turned to leave.
After the door was closed, Liu Ruoxi opened her eyes, and her tense body slowly loosened. It turned out that he was just going to heal her.
Ning Chen returned to his room, and just after reading a book for a while, Xiao Mingyue ran over in her pajamas.
"Sleep," Mingyue said tenderly.
Ning Chen could only put down the book in his hand, now coaxing this little ancestor to sleep is the most important thing.
"I want to hear the story." Mingyue leaned against the bad guy's arms, curled up, and said coquettishly.
Ning Chen wiped the little girl's hair with a large towel and asked, "What story do you want to hear?"
"Snow White" Mingyue thought for a while and said.
"Didn't you talk about it before, do you want to change it?" Ning Chen suggested.
"I'm going to listen." Mingyue twisted her body, unwilling to say.
"Okay" Ning Chen replied, the sick little girl couldn't afford it, so she could only follow.
"In a far-off country lived a king and queen who longed to have a child..."
"However, the good times didn't last long. Snow White's mother fell ill and died, and the king married a new queen..."
The story is not short, Ning Chen told it very carefully, Xiao Mingyue fell asleep after listening to it, with a reassuring smile on her delicate and beautiful face, she looked extremely cute.
Ning Chen carefully flattened the little girl, covered the quilt, and walked out of the house lightly.
"Master Hou" a figure in black appeared out of thin air and knelt down.
"How was the investigation?" Ning Chen said lightly. "Tai Shi Gong and Jing Wu Gong have not found anything abnormal for the time being. However, Xi Yu did go out of the imperial city once a few days ago, and Yin Moxiao, a disciple of Xi Yu, has been in close contact with Wushuang City, and his intentions are unknown. "The figure in black is respectful
road.
Ning Chen nodded and said, "Continue to stare, and report any movement immediately."
"Yes" The figure in black took the lead, and quickly disappeared.
After the spies left, Ning Chen stood quietly in the courtyard, looking into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, Duke Xiyu really felt something was wrong, he just didn't know whether Duke Taizhi and Duke Jingwu knew about it.
The situation in Daxia is already chaotic enough. If there are problems with the third public again, the situation will be really difficult to control.
However, what worries him most is Fan Lingyue, what role does this woman play in this relationship. In this world, no one knows this woman better than him, and because he understands, he is so jealous.
