However, just as they were turning to leave, they were stopped by the attendant at the dical clinic, "You two cannot leave..."
An Ning turned her head, glanced in the direction of An Bingfeng, and said, "We’ve already paid the Silver, even if he stays here for half a month, it should be enough, right?"
The attendant said, "The Silver is indeed sufficient, but our clinic is a place for treatnt and healing, not a shelter. You can’t just pay for the dicine and leave the person here uncared for..."
Luckily, he overheard these two discussing matters. Otherwise, once they left, if anything happened to the man lying in bed, the clinic would be in serious trouble.
An Ning: "He’s just been poisoned, and didn’t the doctor just say that the poison can be neutralized in three days? Once the poison is cleared, you can let him leave on his own..."
The attendant said, "Miss, our clinic is only responsible for saving lives, and we really can’t take on anything more. Besides, the antidote the doctor gave is very effective. You can take him back with you and, as long as he takes the dicine on ti, the poison will dissipate, no need to leave him at our clinic..."
What the attendant said made sense, so An Ning and An Dafu truly couldn’t just leave him there and ignore him.
But neither of them had two or three days to stay and take care of An Bingfeng.
With the help of the attendant, An Dafu assisted An Bingfeng onto the carriage again.
An Ning sat inside the carriage, looking at the sleeping An Bingfeng, and silently mourned for herself.
Today is truly an unlucky day.
"What should we do now?" An Dafu pondered for a mont and finally said, "It’s not suitable to take him to your house now, so why not let him stay at mine for the ti being? With soone of his status, it’s unlikely he’d travel without attendants. He’s probably just temporarily in trouble; we can only hope his n find him quickly."
"Taking him ho is not appropriate, but sending him to your place is even less so," An Ning said. "Send him to the County Office instead."
An Dafu thought for a mont and did not object this ti.
An Ning was right; his place wasn’t suitable either.
Putting aside the matter of having a wife and kids at ho, he was neighbors with Gaomutou, making it awkward to shelter An Bingfeng.
Otherwise, with people coming and going every day, it would be hard for Gaomutou to endure.
Upon reaching the County Office, An Ning learned that Sikong Wuyou was not there.
She was not surprised at all, as Wuyou had already told her this period would be quite busy, so she was ntally prepared not to see him.
Bai Su and Wen Jing had also left with Sikong Wuyou, so, with no other choice, An Ning explained the situation and entrusted An Bingfeng to an elder officer she had t before for temporary care.
After leaving the County Office, An Ning finally went ho with An Dafu.
This delay had taken up most of the day.
An Ning got off the carriage behind the village and walked back on her own.
As she approached the entrance, she saw An Yu standing there from afar.
An Ning tried to enter the house nonchalantly, but An Yu suddenly spoke, "You didn’t go to Uncle’s house."
This sentence was a statent, not a question, indicating he had already confird it.
An Ning looked up, and what she saw in An Yu’s eyes was not bla for her deceit, but a deep sense of hurt.
People are made of flesh and blood, and faced with soone who constantly cares for her, even though An Ning did not want him around, she couldn’t bring herself to dislike him either.
