Chapter 130: Frightening
ers are grand and imposing, inspiring admiration.From the outside, the Bei Jiang Wangfu was very understated. To An Xuetang, it didn't seem much different from her own manor's front gate. Of course, t...An Xuetang looked at her back, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
Actually, when it came to gratitude, she wasn't sure who to thank. Little Liu had been a knot in her heart since the 21st century.
But now fate has brought them together here again, perhaps to allow her to make amends for past regrets.
An Xue Tang gave Qin Shi acupuncture, which caused her to cough up a good amount of black blood. The feeling of oppression she had always felt in her chest finally disappeared, and her cough improved significantly.
"When Ethan Xue received the acupuncture, Qin wanted to get up and kneel in thanks, but Ethan Xue held her down with one hand. "I'm not used to all that kneeling business. If you really want to thank me, just get well soon and come to the clinic to help me out later,"
"But...but I...I can't."
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "You'll at least do the cooking and cleaning, right"
Qin instantly had bright eyes, "Yes, yes, I can do this."
“I don't need you to do any heavy or tiring work. When your body is better, just go to the clinic and cook for the staff. If you see that the clinic is dirty, just help me sweep it.”
Qin was very happy, “Very well, Ah Tang girl, I don't need the silver. I'm willing to help out at your clinic.”
An Xuetang curled her lips, "The monthly allowance still needs to be given. Let's not talk about so much for now, the most important thing is that you recover your health as soon as possible."
At this moment, Xiao Liu suddenly chimed in, "Ah Tang elder sister, will the medical hall still be hiring people"
An Xuetang shook her head, "No, just us."
“Well…” Xiao Liu blinked, “Then… wouldn’t that mean my mother is cooking for me”
An Xue Tang's intention to help them was already so obvious, both Xiao Liu and Qin Shi had seen through it.
Qin immediately wanted to refuse. If she went to cook for her daughter and An Xuetang still gave her monthly money, then she would be too ungrateful.
But An Xue Tang was as if she knew what they were about to say, refusing her. She didn't give them a chance to speak, and bluntly stated:
"I've made my decision on this matter, you needn't say any more. Xiao Liu, come with me to the pharmacy to get some medicine. You don't need to stay at the pharmacy today."
Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment before following An Xue Tang to the clinic. On the way, she blushed and wanted to say something to thank her.
Yet, Ke An Xue Tang said something very strange to her, "Xiao Liu, if you want to thank me, just be good to yourself. As long as you live happily and blissfully, that is the greatest thanks to me."
Sometimes Xiaoliu felt that Ahtang was looking through her, at someone else. There was love and tenderness in her eyes, but also a hint of complex emotion that Xiaoliu couldn't quite understand.
Xiao Liu was a smart person. She knew An Xue Tang wouldn't explain anything to her, so she didn't ask.
After arriving at the clinic, Xiao Liu followed An Xue Tang's prescription to prepare the medicine.
An Xuetang sent her back home to take care of her mother.
After Xiao Liu left, Ding Hua and Shao Dongjia also returned. The two had already completed the procedures.
"I will move my personal belongings today, and you can open for business tomorrow." The man said proactively.
An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Good."
"Miss, I've finally found you." Suddenly, a shop boy dashed into the medical hall. An Xue Tang had some impression of this man.
Isn't that the escort of the big man
She didn't frown, "Is something the matter"
"Miss, our mistress requests your presence."
Ding Hua frowned, "Our young lady is busy."
The attendant gave Ding Hua a glance and then looked at An Xue Tang, "Miss, our mistress wants to thank you. She would like to invite you to a meal. Please come with me."
An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "Tell your mistress that I appreciate her kindness, but I really don't have time."
After hearing this from An Xuetang, the attendant seemed very embarrassed, "Miss, please don't make me difficult. Our master and madam have been looking for you for a long time."
“...”
An Xuetang's sixth sense told her that she had gotten herself into trouble again this time saving someone!
If it weren't for Xiao Liu, she wouldn't even bat an eyelid if that madam died in front of her!
But now it's too late to say anything, the person has already been saved, but I don't know what that madam wants to do!
Ding Hua looked at An Xuetang, "Miss, why don't you go home first I'll personally explain to that adult"
An Xue Tang shook her head, “I’ll still go.”
If she doesn't show up, let Ding Hua go by himself. Then that conceited adult might just make things difficult for him.
Lead the way.
Because the official's wife had just given birth, the lord was originally planning to return to the capital. However, because the journey would be bumpy and harmful to the young child, he bought a house here to stay for a while.
When An Xuetang and Ding Hua were brought to the house, Ding Hua was stopped at the door. That was the big person's wish, as that big person only allowed An Xuetang to enter alone.
Ding Hua's brows were tightly furrowed, his hands clenched into fists, but An Xue Tang soothed him, "Ding Hua, don't worry, just wait here for me, I'll be out soon."
"Miss, I..."
"No need." An Xue Tang knew what he wanted to say, but she didn't intend to solve it with force at the moment.
If she didn't know Ah Jing's identity before, it wouldn't be a problem. But now that she knows, she doesn't intend to confront the officials head-on. She'd rather avoid them digging deeper and accidentally discovering Ah Jing's whereabouts.
For now, it's best to let her investigate what that couple really wants.
Ding Hua, though unwilling, still waited at the door. An Xue Tang followed her attendants into the inner courtyard and entered that mistress's room.
"Miss, you're finally here."
When the lady saw An Xuetang, she was obviously excited.
An Xuetang nodded lightly, "Madam, is there something you need me for"
"It's nothing, just want to thank you. If it weren't for you, my child and I wouldn't be safe and sound."
"My lady, there is no need for thanks. I saved him not for your gratitude."
Perhaps sensing An Xue Tang's slightly cold voice, the madam's smile faltered a little, "Come, sit here with me, young lady."
An Xuetang walked over, she didn't sit down but stood and spoke, "Madam, if you have anything to ask me, just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush."
The woman's smile stiffened even more, but since An Xue Tang had said so, she had to be direct:
"Young lady, here's the thing. You must have heard that my master is an official in the imperial court. We were originally planning to return to the capital, but my master worries that my and the child's health wouldn't hold up against such a long journey, so..."
"So you want me to accompany you into the capital To take care of you and the child along the way"
When An Xuetang directly pointed this out, the madam's face stiffened, but she still nodded reluctantly, "My husband means that."
"I suppose that's what you meant, madam. Your husband doesn't trust me."
“...”
This madam always feels that An Xue Tang is too terrifying. Her eyes seem to be able to see people's hearts, and she knows what the other person is thinking.
Such people are truly frightening.y won't go empty-handed. We can take it from him.""Yes."On the other side, Yun Yi returned to the council camp and immediately called Yun San over. The two discussed and decided who should return to t...
