"By the way, miss, I see you’re living here. What’s your relationship with the County Magistrate?" Ye Jiu asked warmly.
"We... are friends. I’m in poor health, so I’m staying here temporarily. Once my health improves, I’ll leave."
In ancient tis, there wasn’t the concept of boyfriends and girlfriends, so her relationship with Sikong Wuyou now is really hard to define.
In truth, it should be a secret lifelong commitnt, right?
After all, he only ntioned having his parents propose marriage, and now, whether his parents agree with their situation still remains unknown.
"Just friends?" Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow.
Wuyou invited them to propose marriage so eagerly; surely it’s not a one-sided enthusiasm, still a matter with no sign of resolution?
But, it’s really hard to say.
After all, ancient people were reserved, usually proposing once they were interested, and if the girl’s family agreed, then they would proceed. Otherwise, it was dropped.
If that’s the case, then she must perform well to earn more points for her son.
"Really just friends?" Ye Jiu glanced behind An Ning, "The furnishings of this room look like a man’s room. Did he give his room to you to stay in?"
An Ning smiled without saying much.
This lady is quite gossip-prone, huh?
I wonder, what identity does she hold?
An Ning’s silence didn’t anger Ye Jiu.
After all, her words to a stranger girl were sowhat overly bold.
"By the way, the young lady seems to be in poor health. Is she ill?" Ye Jiu asked.
An Ning nodded.
Ye Jiu continued, "What illness? Should I take a look for you?"
Though she was smiling kindly, she was inwardly blaming Sikong Wuyou for not being considerate.
She had various miraculous dicines, known to her family, yet Wuyou didn’t ntion the girl’s poor health.
Otherwise, she could have helped make so dicine, instead of letting the illness drag on!
An Ning was surprised, "Madam... do you actually know dicine?"
"I have dabbled a bit," Ye Jiu replied.
She wasn’t knowledgeable, but she did have thods for concocting dicines.
An Ning smiled and expressed her true thoughts, "Thank you for your concern, madam, but I’m not ill, just suffering from excessive blood loss. Nourishing myself will suffice, no need to trouble you."
Excessive blood loss?
Many ideas instantly flashed through Ye Jiu’s mind.
Eventually, she didn’t press further.
However, she left An Ning with so things before she ca in.
Supplenting blood is indeed a slow process, yet with the aid of dicine, recovery would be faster.
After Ye Jiu left, An Ning looked at the things she left behind, lost in thought.
Madam said these items were for blood replenishnt, but the packaging looks so grand!
And this box, it’s glass, right?
Could ancient tis be so advanced, already having glass?
An Dafu once suspected the Princess had crossed over from another world, and An Ning now truly wondered, perhaps this world had indeed been crossed over by soone in the past, even if not the Princess, perhaps soone else.
And, the War Prince Residence?
Rumor had it that back then, the War King had an affair with the Princess.
Wouldn’t that an, his father, Wuyou’s, and the Princess...
Thinking this way, things seem a bit complicated.
The world says Wuyou’s mother is just a substitute for the Princess, unclear if it’s true or not.
As the sky gradually darkened, Sikong Wuyou finally returned from outside.
Upon entering, Bai Su ca to report, "Sir, the Prince and Princess Consort have arrived. They’re currently at the County Office."
