Bai Zhi shrugged: “No, I am delighted. I don’t feel wrong.” This was the truth. Although Madam Meng doesn’t like to see her, she was able to persuade her. What she was considering was Meng Nan’s face. She didn’t feel like she was aggrieved by Madam Meng.
Meng Nan bitterly smiled. He didn’t know what to say, but he heard Bai Zhi’s voice again: “With this lesson, I think she probably knows what to do in the future. You don’t have to worry too much. She will be fine, but there is one thing I want to remind you. She has this disease. Once there is a wound on her body, it is extremely difficult to recover. For ordinary people, the wound will heal in 3-5 days. While it takes 10-15 days for her. Especially on the feet. Take note of this, if you fail to be careful, her feet might become useless.”
“I wanted to check her injury in the foot, but seeing her attitude, she wouldn’t show it to me. It’s better to let Imperial Doctor Zhang treat it tomorrow. You must change the dressing frequently. You can use readymade medicine, there is no need to consider it. The medicine I refined is very gently, it will easily conflict with other medicines. You can rest assured.”
Meng Nan nodded: “I will keep it in mind. Thank you for today.”
Bai Zhi slightly smiled and looked at his face. His usual spirited face now looked very haggard.
She couldn’t bear to look at it, so she sighed and said: “It’s very hard to have a diabetic patient at home. As a son, you should shoulder this burden, but you should also pay attention to your health. Don’t drain yourself. I think your mother also feels distressed.”
Meng Nan’s eyes brightened. Is she worried about him?
But after hearing those words, she heard Bai Zhi asked, “Are you working in the Ministry of Rites?”
Meng Nan his head nodded: “Yes, but I am just a small official.”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “The strength of the Meng family will play a part here. Even if you are a small official now, you will be promoted sooner or later. Isn’t it just a matter of time?”
Meng Nan remembered what Bai Zhi said to his mother that day. She, Bai Zhi relied on her own skills to get rich, while some people rely on their ancestor’s prosperity to make fortune. Is he also included in this case?
Bai Zhi asked another question: “I heard that the Jin Country’s Envoy is coming to the capital? Your Ministry of the Rite must be very busy, right?”
Meng Nan suddenly realized what Bai Zhi really wanted to ask.
The Jin Country’s Envoy will come to the capital but stopped at Qingyang County first. It was Prince Jin, no, Hu Feng, she was thinking about.
“You want to ask when Prince Jin will return to the capital?” His voice was very soft, pretending not to care, as if he really didn’t care.
However, the more he pretends, the more he seems to care.
Bai Zhi smiled: “If you know, just say it. If you don’t know, then no need to say anything.”
Meng Nan sighed in his heart and said: “They are originally scheduled to arrive in the capital by the 9th day of this month, but now they are 3 days late. Prince Jin hasn’t sent anyone to bring news, so the emperor has sent someone to inquire about it.”
“Oh!” She answered softly and stopped talking.
Meng Nan sent her into the carriage, then rode his horse and followed closely behind. He watched the carriage that was slowly moving forward in front of him. His beloved woman was inside the carriage. It would be good if he could keep her close to his side like this.
But how many times can there be such days?
Once she and Hu Feng get married, she will definitely not be able to leave the house as much as she does now and walk with other men casually.
As the carriage drove through Qianwei Street, an alluring aroma spread from the streets.
She had already missed the dinner, so Bai Zhi’s already hungry stomach kept complaining to her. And when she smelled that aroma, her greedy stomach screamed in happiness.
