An Zhixian apologized upon seeing this, and mentioned that Lin Jinyan was actually there on the day of the injury. He didn't mention it just now because he was afraid of damaging Lin Jinyan's reputation.
Chu Chengyao said bluntly that it was not surprising and he praised An Zhixian for his gentlemanly style.
He also said that he had a new confidant guard who was very skilled. The next time An Zhixian went out of the city, he could send a guard to see him off. As he spoke, he asked Song Yi to come forward and introduce An Zhixian.
Lin Jinyan looked at Song Yi and tentatively said:
"Are you...Song Yi? Do you recognize my cousin Gu Ruizhou?"
Song Yigang saluted and looked at Lin Jinyan when he heard the question:
"General Gu is kind to me, so I recognize him. The lady calls me General Gu's cousin, and my surname is Lin...but is Taifu Lin's granddaughter?"
When Lin Jinyan heard this, her smile spread with surprise:
"Song Yi is really you. I made you feel wronged and leave in a hurry. I thought it would be a pity. I didn't want to see you again. My three brothers often talk about you."
Song Yi: "The last time I met Ms. Lin, she was still a child. Forgive me for not recognizing her."
Chu Chengyao looked surprised: "You actually know each other?"
The two roughly talked about the past, and learned that Song Yi was rescued by Chu Chengyao, and that Chu Chengyao had to treat him politely when he moved into Prince Jin's Mansion. Lin Jinyan looked at Chu Chengyao with admiration, and bowed and thanked him.
He also invited Song Yi to leave the palace and meet Gu Ruizhou and the others.
After reminiscing about old times, Chu Chengyao did not stop, and told An Zhixian to take a good rest. He said goodbye to Lin Jinyan tenderly, and took the people away. It was like he was passing by to buy tea and came to visit after learning about it by chance.
Lin Jinyan watched Chu Chengyao leave, her fake smile disappeared, her eyes were full of coldness, she turned around and met An Zhixian's bright eyes, her eyes were panicked for a moment and then she regained her composure:
"Boss An, you're injured, it's better to go back to your room and recuperate."
An Zhixian responded politely and invited a few people to sit down in the house.
Lin Jinyan sat down and looked around. The layout of the room was simple yet exquisite, which was in line with An Zhixian's style.
When he looked away, he caught a glimpse of a jade pendant on the desk. The half-broken jade tassel on it looked very familiar. An Zhixian followed Lin Jinyan's gaze, picked up the jade pendant and sat across from Lin Jinyan and explained:
"The lady made it with her own hands. I cherish it and carry it with me every day. Unfortunately, it was cut off by the man outside the city last time. It was not intentional."
Lin Jinyan blurted out: "It doesn't matter, I'll just make another one for you."
After the two of them finished speaking, they were both stunned for a moment. An Zhixian's eyes were filled with ecstasy, but Lin Jinyan gritted her teeth secretly: Why did you answer so quickly?
After reacting, Lin Jinyan pretended to be calm and explained:
"The danger that day was vivid in my mind. Boss An was injured because of me. I should also compensate for the damage."
After saying that, he hurriedly changed his voice and asked Bai Zhi to take out the medicated meal, and then took out the prescription list of the medicinal materials used in the medicated meal, and told An Zhixian to ask Dr. Wu if there was no conflict between the medicinal effects and take it when it is hot.
Bai Zhi took out the things one by one and put them on the table:
"Boss An, the medicine and food are all according to your preferences. These two plates of pastries were made by my lady to express my gratitude."
An Zhixian's face was so gentle that it made her eyes water. Although he didn't have a huge smile, every pore was filled with happiness. After looking at them one by one, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Jinyan.
Bai Zhi's words were not inappropriate to listen to normally, but at this moment, it was like sitting on pins and needles in Lin Jinyan's ears. She drank tea from a cup and felt too guilty to look at An Zhixian.
After saying a few polite words of concern, he stood up and left. (End of chapter)
