Liu Shimei started to wash her face. When she heard this question, she quickly got out of the mode of talking to the silly dog. Her face was cold as she said, “The rumors all say that my injuries are so serious. If they bring me back too early, wouldn’t it be letting them off too easily? No matter what, I have to wait until my injuries recover.”
Of course, the rumors outside were false. Her injuries had long recovered, so it was impossible for the Grand Chancellor not to know.
The ferule belonged to Lin Fuyun, and he knew best how badly it could hurt someone.
To put it bluntly, he did not want to rush to take her back. Liu Yan’er’s leg was fractured, and it would take at least two to three months for her to recover. Smoke was still rising above their heads, so how could they be willing to see such an eyesore like her?
“They can’t just ignore Eldest Miss in the future, right?” Mo’er snorted. “Could it be that Young Miss is going to stay in the Liang Residence forever?”
After washing her face, Liu Shimei went to change her clothes behind the screen and said, “When the time comes to pick me up, when the Grand Chancellor’s Residence will send someone. As for who will come, they still need to decide. I’m not in a hurry. If they bring me back too early, it’ll be inconvenient for me to go to the Zheng Medical Hall to do things. If it wasn’t for the fact that I still have things to do there, do you think I would be willing to go back? Isn’t it good to live in the Liang Residence?”
The master and servant were changing their clothes behind the screen. They did not notice that Huangfu Lingyao, who was sitting at the round table with a bald rabbit in his arms, was not playing with the rabbit. Instead, he was staring at a certain spot in the room. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were strange. No one knew what he was thinking.
When the two of them came out, he had returned to his original silly appearance.
The people from the Grand Chancellor’s Residence did not come to pick her up, and so another seven or eight days passed.
February 13th.
Zhong Lang’s condition had finally stabilized. Although the poison in his body had not been cleared yet, there was still a possibility of a relapse. However, with Liu Shimei’s targeted treatment, he no longer vomited on the third day. After recuperating for a few more days, he felt much better.
After taking his pulse for the last time and making sure that his condition was stable, he said goodbye to Liu Shimei, “Thank you, Miss. If I can bring out the Colored Glass Drunk poison, I will have to trouble you with my little life in the future. If I don’t return…”
It went without saying.
Liu Shimei did not try to stop him. He smiled and said, “If you bring it back, I’ll help you detoxify it. If you don’t come back, it won’t affect me much.”
Even so, Zhong Lang still took out a very small token from his pocket and handed it to her.
“What is this?” Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and took it.
Zhong Lang did not answer. Instead, he said, “If I can’t come back, I’ll take it as a souvenir.”
“Alright.” Liu Shimei did not ask anything.
“You saved a person of unknown origin. Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?” he asked.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly. “Maybe it’s because you’re not afraid of itchiness when you have too many lice. I have a lot of troubles myself. I’m not afraid of you.”
After she said that, Zhong Lang did not say anything more. He was alone. When he came, he only had that iron sword. When he left, he was the same.
From his calm and agile steps, it could be seen that this person’s martial arts skills were really high. However, Liu Shimei did not know martial arts, so she did not know the level of the other party’s martial arts.
She lowered her head and looked at the token in her hand. She touched it and realized that it should be made of jade.
The token was very small and was made of fine jade. There were simple patterns carved on it. At first glance, one could not tell what patterns they were.
It did not look like something particularly valuable, but he gave it to her specifically. It could not pay for his medical bills.
Perhaps, it was some kind of keepsake?
Liu Shimei did not expect that the silly dog would see this keepsake and cause a ruckus!
