Xie Zhinuan ca back to her senses and looked up at Li Hengyi.
Her pretty face was covered with tears, yet her eyes shone brilliantly, displaying a splendor and beauty that Li Hengyi had never seen before.
Xie Zhinuan smiled faintly, “Thank you, I’m alright!”
Really, I’m fine.
It wasn’t shock, nor was it alarm.
It was just that suddenly I understood many things I had never understood before.
The difference between personal righteousness and greater righteousness.
Sotis, doing good deeds is not about being a saint.
“Are you really okay?” Li Hengyi asked.
Seeing a patch of dried blood on the ground and looking at the mute servant who was still circulating his breath, Lian Huai had a look in his eyes when he looked at Xie Zhinuan, one that Li Hengyi recognized and detested-eagerness.
It was as if he were a blood-sucking leech that had spotted blood, revealing his greed.
Li Hengyi didn’t know what Xie Zhinuan had done, but for certain, Lian Huai had learned her secret, or perhaps he didn’t know exactly what it was, but he definitely knew that Xie Zhinuan had a precious object in her hands.
“…”
The thing he had been most worried about had still happened.
Lian Huai was about to say sothing, but Li Hengyi had already helped Xie Zhinuan to her feet, “The room reeks of blood. I’ll take you outside for so fresh air. Did you know, there is a wonton stall in town with particularly delicious wontons. After you freshen up, shall I take you there to eat?”
“Wontons?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
“Mhm!”
She laughed lightly, “When Routuan first ca to , it was when I was eating wontons in the county city. Its mother and it were sold by their owner. Seeing that the dog had spirit, I bought Routuan and sent it back to its owner!”
So things, when recalled, are both funny and exasperating, but she had no regrets.
“Then you’ll have to eat an extra bowl later!” Li Hengyi said as he helped Xie Zhinuan out of the room.
Avoiding anything Lian Huai might say.
Outside the room, the sll of blood was even stronger. The Governor’s Office had also sent people over, who were cleaning and sweeping, pouring buckets of water over the bloodstains and then sweeping them with brooms.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan paused.
The wind blew over, ssing up the hair on her forehead. Li Hengyi reached out to smooth it down for her, “Your room has been cleaned up, and I’ve had people prepare a few outfits for you. Why don’t you change into them? You’ve always wanted to learn how to ride a horse, shall I teach you today?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhinuan felt as if sothing had suddenly struck her heart.
It wasn’t painful, nor was it itchy, but it was a particularly fresh mory that made her feel that today’s Li Hengyi was different from before.
“…”
She lifted her gaze to look at Li Hengyi.
She didn’t quite understand his sudden tenderness and concern, nor why he was so talkative today.
“Okay!”
She nodded and went into the room.
Looking at the brightly colored, brand new brocade clothes, the satin pants, and the embroidered shoes on the bed.
Xie Zhinuan chuckled to herself.
Was Li Hengyi being too good to her?
But this ti she didn’t refuse, she changed earnestly. Her hair was still in sowhat elaborated braids, but she took the earrings out of her pouch to wear.
After getting ready, she ca out.
A refreshing and pretty beauty, naturally made, without the need for rouge or jewelry to enhance her, just this simple cleanliness was the most beautiful.
“Do I look good?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
Li Hengyi nodded, “Extrely beautiful!”
Yuanbao ca running in, also giving her plenty of complints.
Unlike Li Hengyi’s brevity, Yuanbao chatted incessantly, as if good words cost nothing.
Xie Zhinuan smiled.
Seeing her smile, Li Hengyi also began to laugh,
his eyes filled with tenderness, a young master as exquisite as jade, naturally moist and lustrous.
Xie Zhinuan first spoke to Lian Huai, telling him to have soone send breakfast back later. Lian Huai nodded, “We will wait for you at the inn!”
He couldn’t abandon the mute servant, after all, there were still things to be done. Once the mute had regained his strength, he needed to have a serious talk with him.
