Tang Zhou's body was so weak that he was so tired that he vomited blood after just a few steps.
He frowned and pressed his heart to calm down.
They always told him to rest in peace and recuperate, but he really couldn't rest in peace. He kept in mind that his sister and nephew would always think of them and whether they were safe. He couldn't even sleep well when he closed his eyes.
He twisted his face, stretched his neck and spit out another mouthful of blood.
Unconsciously, my face was covered with sweat.
What worried him the most was the invisible eyes. Every time he opened his eyes, he saw darkness in front of him, which was always discouraging.
After vomiting blood, his body gradually lost the strength to support him, and he kept falling. The hands on his knees could hardly hold him up, and he seemed to be about to fall to the ground, but he used his last strength to prevent himself from falling, fearing that the ground would fall. The blood will stain his clothes, and he will have to work hard for two girls to help him wash them.
But then I thought about it, he was still injured and bleeding, and his clothes would also be stained...
Therefore, the best way is to heal the injury as they say.
He sighed, propped himself up and lay down on his side.
In my mind, I recalled the sentence I heard during the day: I hope you will have wings and become a northern sea fish.
"I hope you will have wings, I hope you will have wings..."
He closed his eyes, kept mumbling in his mouth, and slowly fell asleep.
……
the next day.
Tang Zhou was weak and slept heavily. He didn't wake up until almost noon, and was awakened by the sound of the door being pushed.
But after a long sleep, I felt much better.
"Mr. Tang, have I disturbed you?"
At the door, Shen Zhixi half-opened the bamboo door and saw Tang Zhou still lying on the bed, seemingly just waking up. She was holding a large bowl of medicinal porridge in her hand, put it on the table after entering the door, and was about to help Tang Zhou stand up, but he had already sat up with his own arms.
Shen Zhixi looked at the hem of his clothes. Although there was still blood oozing from his chest, the amount of bleeding was much less than yesterday.
Even when I heard him speak, his tone was still weak.
"Miss Suzuli, what time is it now?"
"It's almost noon on the second day. I called you earlier but you were sleeping deeply so I didn't bother you again. After making medicinal porridge, you can still only eat some light liquid food. I will help you. Come over, you haven’t even eaten breakfast, you must be very hungry.”
"By the way, my sister and I have to go out to the stall today, so we may come back a little late in the evening."
“Desu…”
Halfway through, Tang Zhou stopped.
"I remember Miss Suzuly said that it's very far from here to the city, and you can't get there until around noon if you set off in the morning. So if you set off now, wouldn't it..."
Don't they have a few hours to set up a stall?
Moreover, I have to come back to take care of him in the evening.
"Is it because I haven't woken up yet, so you're worried about it, and that's why you haven't gone out yet?"
"Mr. Tang, you are here again."
Shen Zhixi half pulled and half pushed him to continue walking forward, and pulled him to sit down at the table, with a serious tone but a smile on his face. The more guilty Tang Zhou was, the better it would be for her.
He was soft-hearted enough so that she could have a chance to succeed.
"I've told you so many times, except for recuperating in peace, don't worry about anything else."
When Tang Zhou heard this, his face was still grim.
"The medicinal porridge is right in front of you. You can reach it by raising your head to the table. I'll bring a basin of wash water over in a moment. You don't have to worry about washing up after eating. By the way, I'll go to the kitchen to get some cooked pasta, just in case. If you are hungry again when we come back late, you can fill your stomach."
After saying that, he quickly left the room as if he was afraid that Tang Zhou would continue to ask questions.
Tang Zhou naturally felt her nervousness, although he didn't know that she was pretending to be nervous.
But he was also more convinced that Suzuran was hiding something from him and had lied to him.
As for whether this lie is a good intention or a malicious one...
He raised his hand to fumble for the bowl on the table, lowered his head and smelled it, and his expression became more solemn.
There is one more jade ginseng here than yesterday. Although it is not very expensive, it costs at least fifty taels. Fifty taels, plus other medicinal materials and a few clothes delivered yesterday, it would cost hundreds of taels of silver.
He wanted to know the truth, but he didn't ask when Shen Zhixi came back.
If you ask her like that, she probably won't tell the truth.
After several instructions, Shen Zhixi took Yuanyang out and got on the carriage back to the city.
She built this small bamboo house in the forest two years ago. Because it was in a remote location and few people walked around, no one knew there was such a place. In the past, she would just stay here for a day or two to relax when she was in a bad mood.
Yanzhou City is actually not too far away from here, and it can be reached in less than half an hour.
Everything he told Tang Zhou before was all lies to him.
If you want to conceal your identity, then naturally the more outrageous it is, the better.
When she arrived in Yanzhou City, she went back to Shen's house first, took a shower and freshened up, and put on exquisite clothes. The light pink emerald pearl tassels hanging from her temples made her look very bright. She shone with every movement, looking like the richest man in Yanzhou. Naturally it’s not bad.
After listening to the housekeeper's report on the situation in the house for the past two days, he set off to the main store of Shen Kee without any problems.
It was the end of the month, and the shopkeepers from the branches below were all waiting to reconcile with her.
The news that she had gone to the main store soon reached the ears of her fiancé, Qin Mu. We hadn’t seen each other for a month, but he rushed here in a hurry. He packed himself up very neatly and brought a personal servant to the door. Because he and Shen Zhixi were childhood sweethearts, no one stopped him and sat in the accounting room. Waiting for her in the pavilion outside.
The Shen family has a large business, and each reconciliation takes many days.
From noon to sunset, I came out of the accounting room.
The cashiers of each shop came out one after another, but Shen Zhixi was nowhere to be seen. The more Qin Mu waited, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't help but get up and rush inside.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he bumped into Yuanyang, who opened the door and came out.
"Miss Yuanyang, is Axi in there?" Qin Mu's face was full of anxiety, and he was really pretending to be very good. He really looked like he was worried about someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Master Qin, please give way."
Yuanyang knew Qin Mu's true face, so he naturally turned to his young lady. Although there was a smile on his face when he spoke, the smile was extremely cold, and it was better not to smile at all.
While speaking, Shen Zhixi appeared from behind her.
Seeing her, Qin Mu's eyes lit up, but Yuanyang stood between the two of them, making him unable to step forward.
"Axi, are you okay? I've been to the Shen family many times, but Butler Feng said you're sick and shouldn't see people. I'm really worried about you. Are you feeling well now?"
After the words fell, there was a long silence.
Shen Zhixi stared at Qin Mu closely and didn't reply a word for a long time.
They grew up together, and the people who thought they were sincere reached the point of betrayal. She was angry but also sad at the same time. She had treated him sincerely, and she had also looked forward to growing old with him...
"Axi, what's wrong with you?"
She didn't speak for a while, which made Qin Mu a little nervous.
"Ha..." Shen Zhixi chuckled, with some sarcasm in his laughter, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I think you feel a little strange."
"I...Axi..."
"By the way, I have something else to do today. I have an appointment with Mr. Fang for dinner, so I have to get over it."
"Axi, we haven't seen each other for so long, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhixi stepped out of the threshold and passed him. He wanted to chase but Yuanyang stopped him with a smile, saying that it was almost time to make an appointment with Young Master Fang and there could be no further delay.
Watching the two of them go away, Qin Mu changed his face and bit his back teeth.
"Young Master, I heard that Young Master Fang came from Yue Jing City. It is said that he is very rich and noble. Yue Jing is an imperial city. Naturally, the emperor's feet are unmatched by our Yanzhou. That Young Master Fang came here a month ago. Yanzhou and the Shen family got into business, and that's when Miss Shen started to become different, avoiding the young master."
"Huh, it turns out I have a new love." Qin Mu sneered.
