“My third uncle is worried about Sister Qi.”
Song Wangyue got down from the carriage.
Seeing her, the face of the person who opened the door couldn’t help but change drastically and hurriedly moved away from his body, “So it’s Third Prince and Miss Song, I just didn’t see clearly, I’m sorry.”
Song Wangyue gave him a look.
The janitor felt it and cold sweat sprang down his back.
“Where’s Miss Qi, is she alright?”
Song San Xiao was so preoccupied with Qi Ying that he didn’t notice the doorkeeper’s abnormality and asked as he walked quickly inside.
The person who opened the door did not dare to raise his head, lest he should meet Song Wangyue’s eyes, “Senior sister is in her house ……”
Before the words were finished, Song San Xiao had already run.
The door opener drew his legs and tried to follow, Song Wan Yue said unhurriedly, “I’ve only been here twice, I’m not familiar with your dart board, please take me there.”
The door opener secretly cried out in his heart, but dared not respond, even forgetting to close the door, and walked ahead to lead the way.
Song Wan Yue was unaffected by him and walked without haste, “Is there something wrong with the dart board, why is it not open today?”
“Nothing, nothing. There hasn’t been much business lately, Master ordered to close the door for a few days, so that we can also take a good rest.”
After saying that, lest Song Wan Yue didn’t believe him, he added, “If you don’t believe me, ask the Third Prince, we weren’t open when he came in this morning either.”
With these words, he was afraid that Song Wangyue would ask something else, so he quickened his pace some more and instantly distanced himself from Song Wangyue.
Song Wangyue still walked forward without hurrying.
The door opener could see that she was doing it on purpose, but he was anxious, but had no choice but to slow down and bring her through with his heart on edge, and only let out a sigh of relief when he saw her enter the courtyard.
Inside the house, Song San Xiao asked several times to make sure Qi Ying was alright before she put her heart down, “I thought something had happened to you, I was so scared that I rushed over with Yue’er.”
“Yue’er is here too?”
Qi Ying’s voice was visibly tight.
Song Wan Yue just happened to walk to the door and heard it clearly, and her eyebrows grew a few degrees colder.
“What, sister Qi doesn’t welcome me?”
Qi Ying instantly stood up, “How come? I just thought ……”
“If it were anyone else I wouldn’t have made this trip, after all, my maternal great grandfather’s poison hasn’t been cured yet, I couldn’t care less. But sister Qi is different, you’re about to become my third aunt, from now on you’ll be family, of course I have to come and see if you’re not feeling well.”
“I’m really fine, you guys don’t need to worry.”
“I’d better take a look at you, in case my third uncle is not at ease.”
Qi Ying sat back straight away and held out his hand for Song Wan Yue to take his pulse.
Song Wangyue put her finger on the back of her pulse and withdrew her hand after a moment, saying, “The pulse is steady, there’s really nothing wrong, but I remember that your whole body was weak and feeble after you came back from the latrine, as if you would faint at any moment, how did you get better so quickly? Is it possible that Sister Qi has some kind of magic potion?”
“I don’t have any elixir ……”, Qi Ying forced a smile, “I was squatting in the latrine for a long time, my legs and feet were numb and not very comfortable, I came back to rest for a while and I was fine.”
Song Wangyue nodded, “I was overthinking it, it’s good that sister Qi is fine, then I won’t stay much longer. I’ve just been to the magistrate’s office. The magistrate said that all the punishments in the jail have been used, but that Qin Qian just won’t confess. I have to go over there and help them think of a way out, otherwise if it continues to drag on like this, my maternal great-grandfather really won’t wake up.”
“He will definitely wake up.”
Qi Ying spoke quickly, noticing what he had said after he finished.
Qi Ying’s face changed for a moment and he scrambled to explain, “I mean that old man is lucky and will definitely wake up.”
“Many thanks, sister Qi.”
With those words, Song Wangyue stood up, “Then Third Uncle and I are leaving, Sister Qi take good care of your health.”
“I’ll see you off.”
“No need, Sister Qi take a good rest, get well soon, and get engaged to my third uncle soon.”
Hearing this, Song San Xiao hemmed and hawed happily, and Qi Ying grudgingly smiled along.
When she estimated that the two had left the dartboard, she hurriedly went to the main courtyard and told them what Song Wangyue had just said.
“Song Wangyue learned the art of medicine from that Dr. Yao, if she drugged her cousin ……”
“If that kind of medicine could be dispensed just by saying so, there wouldn’t be so many punishments in the main prison, let’s not scare ourselves first, I do think that girl’s purpose for coming here is not simple.”
Ever since she knew that Qin Qian was taken to the county court, Mrs. Qi has been worried, she didn’t have the heart to listen to ponder what Qi Ying just said, hearing Qi Wu say this, then she looked at him, “Where is it not simple?”
“I think she suspected something and came here on purpose to test it.”
“Impossible!”
Qi Ying affirmed, “I didn’t show anything in the morning, and no one knows about my cousin’s relationship with us, so how could she suspect?”
Mrs. Qi recalled what Qi Ying had just said in her head and didn’t notice anything either, nodding her head, “I think Ying’er is right, maybe it’s just a coincidence, honestly as you said we shouldn’t scare ourselves first.”
Qi Wu looked grave, “There is nothing wrong with being careful, if that little girl comes again, we should all be careful when we speak.”
……
On the carriage, Song Wan Yue closed her eyes slightly, went over Qi Ying’s reaction just now in her head, opened her eyes and lifted the carriage curtain to look at Song San Xiao outside.
Song Sanxiao was still grinning and giggling when he noticed Song Wangyue’s gaze and looked back over, “What’s wrong, Yue’er?”
Song Wan Yue’s gaze fell on his smile.
Song Sanxiao thought he had just gotten something on his face while eating at the stall, so he hastily wiped it off a few times to see that nothing had been wiped off, and then asked in wonder, “Yue’er, why are you looking at me like that?”
“To see that my third uncle is genuinely happy.”
“That’s natural.”
Song San Xiao did not hide it in front of her, “Third Uncle is about to be betrothed to the person his heart is longing for, can he not be genuinely happy?”
“If, I mean if, you and sister Qi don’t get engaged, what will you do?”
“That’s impossible, it’s Miss Qi herself who has asked to marry me, she will certainly not back out.” Song San Xiao was full of confidence.
“What if …… I mean what if …… some irresistible reason?”
Seemingly sensing something, the smile on Song Sanxiao’s face retreated, “Yue’er, what exactly are you going to say?”
“Song Wan Yue put one hand on her cheek and put on a casual chat, “I’m just curious to ask, when I was in the capital, big brother was like this with Miss Xiao, you are also like this, I’m curious.”
“That’s because you didn’t take Gu Yi to heart, if you had taken him to heart, you would have understood what was on my mind and Song Si’s.”
“Third Uncle hasn’t answered me yet, what if for some irresistible reason you and Sister Qi can’t get engaged?”
“Blah blah blah!”
Song San Xiao turned his head and spat on the ground a few times, “Yue’er I’ll give you that, there will never be that situation.”
