“Her life was indeed saved, but the estate physician said her face and body were ruined,” the old steward said.
Su Yingxue nodded. “Yes, she deserved it.”
As a woman, speaking was unavoidably cold, but Chu Yihan felt she was admirable.
“Those who reap what they sow need no sympathy,” he said.
“Of course, human emotions are precious and shouldn’t be wasted on unnecessary people,” Su Yingxue said, linking arms with Chu Yihan. Together, they had dinner before hurrying back to Qilin Garden.
On the carriage back to the Marquis’s Manor, Su Miaoyan sighed lightly, holding her small face. “I’m glad Sister didn’t forget to pick me up!”
Su Yingxue pinched her nose. “I could never forget you! But from what 1 see, you’re enjoying yourself in Qilin Garden too!”
“Of course, with a handsome brother to look at and the Ninth Prince to play with!”
Su Miaoyan had an innocent expression. In her world, being good-looking and having fun was enough to make her happy.
However, she felt a little guilty for standing Chu Jinling up today. “I was supposed to fly kites with the Ninth Prince this afternoon. He had already prepared the kites, but handsome brother’s health is fragile, so he couldn’t risk being out in the wind, and we ended up practicing calligraphy instead.”
“He can’t risk the wind?” Su Yingxue scoffed. “My medical advice was for him to get plenty of sun and exercise!”
Why was he so delicate?
“But handsome brother keeps coughing!” Su Miaoyan’s eyes widened.
Su Yingxue found it odd. Xiao Yu rarely coughed when he was with her, and he took medicine more efficiently than eating.
Was there something in Su Miaoyan’s constitution that caused Xiao Yu to be sensitive to the wind?
Seeing Xiao Yu coughing?
Su Yingxue thought maybe Su Miaoyan should spend less time with Xiao Yu and more with Chu Jinling to nurture her innocence.
The next day, when Su Yingxue was about to take Su Miaoyan to Qilin Garden as usual, Zhilan came to inform her, “Miss, there’s a visitor. The master wants you in the front hall!”
“Scarlet Flame King.”
“Qin Muyan?” Su Yingxue frowned. She didn’t expect Qin Muyan to still be in the Great Wei Dynasty.
Was he planning to stay in Jiang Du City?
In the front hall, before Su Yingxue could approach, she heard the two men laughing heartily.
“In the battle of Yuehu City, 1 truly admire the old general’s tactics. If it were me, I might have died on the battlefield!”
“Ah, that’s not necessarily true. When Yuehu City was besieged, although the situation was dire, if I could manage, you might too. This young man has the vigor of youth, he might find another way out!”
Su Qingzhi was all smiles as he stroked his beard. “Come, let me drink to the Scarlet Flame King!”
Qin Muyan raised his glass and downed it with Su Qingzhi.
“Grandpa, are you drinking?” Su Yingxue was amazed as she entered. It was broad daylight, and her grandfather and Qin Muyan had set up a table in the front hall and were drinking.
Su Yingxue glanced at the empty jars beside their feet.
Drinking during the day and getting excited!
“Yingxue! You’re here!”
Qin Muyan walked over, and a scent of alcohol wafted over her. Combined with his rugged features, he exuded a mix of masculinity and pride!
Although he was drinking during the day, it had to be said that some people looked good even when drinking!
Moreover, Qin Muyan was always magnanimous and unconstrained, even asking Su Yingxue if she wanted to join them.
Su Yingxue shook her head. “Your Highness, I can’t handle my liquor well. Besides, I still have a patient to treat today.”
Of course, she couldn’t criticize her grandfather and Qin Muyan for drinking. She could only kindly remind her grandfather, “Grandpa, you should be careful with your drinking. Don’t drink too much..”
