Manager Zhang is now very polite to Xia Luotong. He has lost the alienation at the beginning. Along the way, he constantly introduced her to the general situation of the yard and the houses that could be arranged for her to live in, so that she could choose easily.
As the group of people walked further and further away from the main house, Manager Zhang became more and more confused. He was about to ask Xia Luotong if he had chosen the house, when Xia Luotong suddenly spoke.
"I think this place looks good. Are there any houses around that I can live in?"
Xia Luotong glanced around. Surrounded by flowerbeds, there was an exquisite small pavilion not far away. There was a big tree next to the pavilion, and a swing hung from the thick branches, which was gently swaying.
Manager Zhang was stunned and looked at the location he was at. It was indeed a quiet and beautiful environment, but it was the farthest place from the main house.
He glanced at Xia Luotong with a strange expression. He didn't know whether she chose this place because of the good environment, or because she wanted to be far away from her prince.
When Prince An Wu Zechen was in the west, although he had a cold temperament, he was indeed the object of admiration of thousands of girls. Even now that he has returned to the capital, he is often chased by young ladies.
Wu Zechen had always rejected others and drove them away with a cold look. He never expected that he would be so disliked by others now.
Manager Zhang felt unhappy, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he had personally watched the two of them getting along step by step to where they were now.
"This place has been vacant, but it has been cleaned by servants. If Miss Xia likes it, she can move in directly." Manager Zhang's attitude toward Xia Luotong can be said to be much more friendly now, and this place is empty. , naturally had no objection to her choice.
"That's good luck. Manager Zhang sent the things here." Xia Luotong had a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with the place.
"You're welcome, Miss Xia. I'll show you around." Manager Zhang agreed without being arrogant or arrogant, and then took Xia Luotong around to get familiar with the environment and gave some instructions that needed attention. .
After Manager Zhang left, Xia Luotong and Zhuxuan packed up the house. They didn't have many things, so they didn't ask Manager Zhang to leave anyone behind to help.
As for Manager Zhang's suggestion of arranging a few more servants to serve him, Xia Luotong declined the request.
Now she lives in Shaoguang Pavilion, and the daily rough work is done by the rough servants in the yard. Zhuxuan only needs to take care of her. The two masters and servants can live in this small world by themselves. Very comfortable.
Xia Luotong had just tidied up the house and was sitting and drinking a few sips of tea when he saw Mr. Xu coming over, followed by Wu Zechen.
Seeing Wu Zechen's indifferent face and tall posture walking into the house, Xia Luotong's eyes flashed slightly, and she was a little curious that he was actually in the house today. Didn't he have to go out for work?
Then she thought that she was not familiar with him at all and had no idea what he was doing. Why would she feel strange?
Shaking away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia Luotong smiled and stepped forward to greet Mr. Xu in a friendly manner. Wu Zechen also did not lose his courtesy, but his voice was obviously much colder. Anyone could tell that they were distant and distant. .
Seeing Xia Luotong charmingly laughing with Mr. Xu, Wu Zechen felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Thinking of her eyes that instantly turned indifferent when she looked at him just now, she suddenly felt a little depressed.
Xia Luotong and Mr. Xu chatted very well, but Wu Zechen couldn't say anything at all. He could only sit quietly and sip tea, looking as if the Shaoguang Pavilion did not belong to him, and he himself was just a guest.
"Are you going to take the initiative to remove the poison?" Mr. Xu sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose and was keenly aware of the smell of medicine coming from the small kitchen not far away. It was obvious that Xia Luotong was boiling medicine.
Xia Luotong was not surprised that Mr. Xu could smell the effect of this medicine. She had known about Mr. Xu's medical skills for a long time, so she did not hide it at the moment.
She nodded and answered directly: "Yes, I am going to use medicine to remove the last bit of poison, so that I can completely get rid of the poison."
"Have you thought about it? This last time you removed the poison, you took the initiative to clean it up. The pain is beyond comparison." Mr. Xu did not hide the worry in his eyes.
With his level, he naturally knows what it will be like to take the initiative to remove the last poison, so he is so worried.
Wu Zechen on the side couldn't help but move his eyes after hearing this, and fell on Xia Luotong's absolutely small face.
Seeing the determined look on her face, his heart moved slightly...
"Think about it, this way we can clean up more thoroughly. I cherish my life very much. The rest of my life is still so long. I don't want to leave any hidden dangers." There was no trace of fear on Xia Luotong's face. There was a touch of determination in his indifference. "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you deal with it once and for all, you can avoid further mishaps in the future."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mr. Xu stopped trying to persuade her and just asked, "I'll stay here. If there's any need, I'll be here to help."
"Then thank you, Mr. Xu. Luo Tong is grateful." Xia Luotong did not reject Mr. Xu's kindness. Besides, she was indeed at her weakest when she had an attack. With a master of medical skills like Mr. Xu, she is indeed more secure. some.
"When are you going to..."
As Xu Laozheng was talking, he saw Zhuxuan walking in with a medicine bowl and placing it directly in front of Xia Luotong, with a look of worry and nervousness on her face.
"Let's do it now." Xia Luotong glanced at the dark concoction in front of her, then took a sip and drank it. With such a bold look, people who didn't know might think she was drinking.
After taking the medicine, Xia Luotong stood up directly, walked to the Taishi chair nearby and sat down. Zhuxuan then took out the cloth strips she had prepared and tied her limbs tightly to the handles and legs of the chair. superior.
When Mr. Xu saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Luo Tong..."
Xia Luotong saw the worry in Mr. Xu's eyes getting stronger and stronger, and couldn't help but smile easily: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, just stay with me. You're just afraid of hurting yourself."
After hearing this, Wu Zechen's handsome eyebrows finally knitted together.
Seeing Xia Luotong being so prepared, he also knew that the pain would be very uncomfortable, otherwise she wouldn't have tied herself up.
You must know that in the main room of Shaoguang Pavilion at that time, she was poisoned by the incident of breaking the blue leaf. No matter how painful it was, she was not as solemn as she is now.
Although they were not poisoned by the same kind of poison, Wu Zechen was very clear about the pain caused by the poison, because he had personally experienced it for more than ten years. However, when he looked at Xia Luotong at this time, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes involuntarily. Worry.
Even, I still feel a little distressed...
