Shi Nuan was afraid Song Yansheng would worry, so she hurriedly explained: "It’s like this, possibly because I fell into the water last ti, Father is constantly worried I’ll get tired. Although I went to work in the past few days, there was basically no work to do. This afternoon, there wasn’t anything for to do, so I felt very bored and ca ho!"
Song Yansheng relaxed after hearing this and said: "Then just head ho, since it’s Friday anyway, you can really rest at ho over the next two days!"
Shi Nuan responded with a "hmm," and Song Yansheng asked: "Are you almost ho now?"
Shi Nuan glanced at Song Mansion hidden a short distance away amidst the greenery, nodded, and said: "Almost there!"
"Then once you get back, just rest well. If there’s anything you want to eat, tell Aunt Hui, and you can have the kitchen make it directly!"
Shi Nuan once again responded with a "hmm," and Song Yansheng’s sowhat helpless voice ca through: "Alright, I’ve arrived at the company. I still have work to do this afternoon. I’ll hang up now; if you need anything, feel free to call anyti!"
Shi Nuan said "okay," and only then did Song Yansheng hang up the phone.
The car soon arrived at Song Mansion, and Shi Nuan got out. The gate guard saw the taxi suddenly pull up to Song Mansion and was about to interrogate, but upon seeing Shi Nuan get out, he was startled.
He quickly sent soone to inform Aunt Hui that Lady had returned while welcoming Shi Nuan and was about to greet her.
But before he could call out "Lady," Shi Nuan stopped him and asked the guard: "It seems I don’t have change on ; do you have any?"
The guard was dumbfounded for a mont before hurriedly replying: "Yes... I do!"
Shi Nuan asked the driver: "Excuse , what’s the total?"
The driver coughed lightly and replied: "Fourteen yuan!"
The guard hastily searched his pockets and took out a ten yuan and a five yuan, handing them to the driver.
The driver was about to give change when the guard said: "No need, just leave quickly!"
The driver looked at the guard, sensing his expression wasn’t very friendly, and dared not delay, quickly driving away.
After the driver left, the guard respectfully saluted Shi Nuan and called her "Lady!"
Shi Nuan acknowledged with a "hmm" and said: "I’ll repay you the fifteen yuan later!"
The guard quickly shook his head: "No, no, there’s no need, Lady, it’s only fifteen yuan!"
But Shi Nuan seriously said: "I don’t like owing others!"
The guard wanted to say more, but Shi Nuan had already turned and walked away. As she looked toward Aunt Hui approaching with people in the distance, she closed her mouth entirely.
Shi Nuan soon t Aunt Hui, who respectfully greeted her first and then asked why she suddenly returned.
Shi Nuan knew that if she didn’t make herself clear, Aunt Hui would surely call Song Yansheng to report.
So she said: "There wasn’t much work this afternoon, so I ca back. I’ve already called your Mr. and told him..."
Aunt Hui nodded and didn’t say anything else, as Shi Nuan headed straight toward the main house.
Because she got out of the car outside the main gate, there was actually so distance to the main house.
If Aunt Hui hadn’t been in the garden at the ti, she wouldn’t have quickly arrived.
After entering the house, Shi Nuan went directly upstairs to rest as she really needed it.
Before going upstairs, she also instructed Aunt Hui to make her so red date and white fungus soup.
Aunt Hui agreed.
After Shi Nuan went upstairs, she took a shower and lay down. She slept for about less than an hour when soone knocked on the door.
She went to open it, and it was Aunt Hui outside. Aunt Hui said: "Lady, the red date and white fungus soup is ready. I’ve brought it up for you. Do you want to have it now?"
Shi Nuan nodded and pointed at the table not far away: "Just put it there!"
Aunt Hui acknowledged, then instructed the maid behind her to take the soup inside.
Under normal circumstances, Aunt Hui should’ve left, but she didn’t.
Shi Nuan felt she probably had more to say.
Indeed, after a while, Aunt Hui spoke: "Lady, about half an hour ago, your father called to confirm whether you’d returned..."
Shi Nuan responded with an "oh" and asked: "Is there anything else?"
Aunt Hui pursed her lips, then said: "Madam Yu had soone send over so tonic dicine. I’ve already arranged for the kitchen to make it; would you like to have so now or later?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered; did Yu Yao send tonic dicine?
Although she wasn’t fond of taking dicine, it was indeed a gesture from an elder.
But she had only just instructed soone to bring her red date and white fungus soup...
So she said: "Later, then. When I head downstairs, you can serve a bowl!"
Aunt Hui acknowledged, and Shi Nuan asked: "Anything else?"
Aunt Hui pressed her lips again and said: "Also, Mr. Xu sent over so fish this afternoon, saying Mr. Song instructed to send them over and told the kitchen to make fish soup, which should be ready now. When would Lady plan to eat it?"
