Chapter 608: Chapter 608, Straight Man Dong Sheng (3 Updates)
“She’s awake, but she won’t speak; just keeps shedding tears non-stop. Occasionally, when she isn’t crying, her gaze is hauntingly piercing!”
“…”
Xie Zhinuan responded faintly with a hum.
That girl had crawled from Mass Grave Mound to the roadside, her spine broken; had it not been for the old man’s soft heart at that ti, who gave her half a dicine pill, she probably would not have survived.
It must have been that her ti had not yet co.
“Ensure the people taking care of her are attentive. Clean her up properly, but don’t aggravate her injuries!” Xie Zhinuan instructed.
Chunyu imdiately acknowledged the order.
“Manager Chen ca by earlier; he saw that you were reading, Miss, and he busied himself with other matters!”
Manager Chen? Xie Zhinuan vaguely realized after a mont that it was Dong Sheng.
“There’s still so ti before the al. I’ll go see him now, and you call him over!”
No sooner had Chunyu agreed than Lichun, who had been silent all along, said, “Miss, let go!”
“Alright!”
Xie Zhinuan didn’t think too much of it.
Upon receiving permission, Lichun imdiately went to fetch Dong Sheng.
Chunyu watched Lichun’s retreating figure, pursed her lips, but said nothing.
During the few days with Lichun, Chunyu realized that Lichun was actually very thoughtful. She wanted to advise her a few tis, but Lichun might not listen. She might even grow resentful because of it.
Looking again at Xie Zhinuan, she saw that she had not paid any attention, which made Chunyu sowhat anxious.
Dong Sheng had been very busy these past few days; this job was different from the previous ones. It was his only chance, and he did not dare to be careless. Even purchasing items required multiple visits to different stores to compare prices, out of fear of overpaying or buying low quality. Although exhausted, he felt a great sense of accomplishnt. He had co to the manor today to update Xie Zhinuan that the business could basically start the day after tomorrow.
There was also a pickled at shop in Gaocheng County, whose business was neither good nor bad. The owner’s surna was Zhou. Dong Sheng had soone buy from there once, and found the taste of the at was far inferior. He was not worried in the least that Xieji’s pickled at shop would lack for business once it was open.
Upon his arrival, he learned that Xie Zhinuan was studying dicine. Since his business was not urgent, he did not disturb her and retired to the small courtyard to rest.
When he heard the young manservant calling out, “Sister Lichun!”
He knew it was Xie Zhinuan summoning him and promptly got up to leave the room.
“…” Lichun watched Dong Sheng.
He was clean-cut and sowhat handso. After a mont of thought, she called out, “Brother Dong Sheng!”
“…” Dong Sheng was taken aback, slightly surprised, and hastily replied, “I couldn’t, I couldn’t. Just calling Dong Sheng is fine, or Manager Chen—everyone calls that nowadays!”
“…” Lichun was not surprised, she just smiled softly and said, “Well then, Dong Sheng, the young miss wants to see you, please follow !”
“Alright!”
Dong Sheng followed at her side, keeping a step behind.
Lichun asked him, “Dong Sheng, is it lively outside? Is the shop very busy?”
“It’s lively, but not too busy!” Dong Sheng responded indifferently.
He did not take Lichun’s enthusiasm to heart.
Considering she served closely beside Xie Zhinuan and often conversed with her, he did not dare to offend.
Lichun asked, and he would answer.
“Dong Sheng, if you ever need anything sewn or nded, you can co to !” Lichun said, then looked at Dong Sheng cautiously.
Seeing his bewildered look, standing rooted to the spot, looking at her perplexed.
She imdiately blushed, “I, I…” she stuttered, hurrying to explain.
“No need for that, I’m quite good with needlework myself. Simple sewing and nding are no trouble for !” Dong Sheng said with a smile.
His skills were indeed passable.
Not to say that he could embroider a beautiful flower, but everyday sewing and nding tasks were certainly not an issue.
After all, in pursuit of Xiaoyuan, he had once sewn a pouch for her.
