Upon hearing her words, he knew she couldnt stay with him anymore!

Seeing him like this, Liu s.h.i.+meis heart softened. She gently touched his face and said, I need to talk to Zhong Lang first. After that, Ill come back to accompany you until bedtime.

Oh, Huangfu Lingyao sounded a bit disappointed. So you wont stay with me after bedtime, leaving me alone?

Ill ask Lu Ying to stay and take care of you at night. He knows how to care for the injured. You dont have to worry, Liu s.h.i.+mei explained. Its not that she didnt want to stay overnight, but, This is Grandpas house. Even though your performance today has greatly impressed Grandpa and the others, and they will surely like you in the future, do you think they wont be upset if I stay overnight in your room?

He might have to endure having his leg broken once hes healed!

Huangfu Lingyao pouted instantly.

Thats right!

Today, he played the hero to save the beauty, and the Liang familys att.i.tude toward him changed from mere politeness to genuine concern.

Why did he consider himself more of a bear than a hero?

Wasnt it because he was too spineless?

Although he possessed decent martial arts skills, he couldnt use them when it really mattered!

Liu s.h.i.+mei gently patted his head and said, Dont be upset. I rescheduled all my appointments for tomorrow. Ill be with you the whole day. Okay?

Her tone was as gentle as when one soothes a child, even more indulgent than a mother!

Although Huangfu Lingyao felt reluctant to be treated as her foolish son, on the other hand, he couldnt help but appreciate her special and unparalleled affection for him.

Yummy!

Thats fine, you must give the waves a good beating! Of course, the silly puppy had to give in to his wife.

You lie down obediently, alright? Liu s.h.i.+mei smiled, didnt answer, touched his forehead, then turned and went out.

Knowing that the right words must be said, Zhong Lang stood outside the door, quietly waiting for Liu s.h.i.+mei to come find him.

Liu s.h.i.+mei came out and closed the door, first instructing Lian Qiao and Lu Ying, Both of you be careful. His Highness might have a fever from his injury at night. Check on him every interval of an incense sticks time. If anything unusual happens, come and tell me immediately.

Yes, Eldest Young Miss. Both of them replied in unison.

Liu s.h.i.+mei turned to Zhong Lang and said, Mr. Zhong, come with me.

Zhong Lang nodded expressionlessly and followed behind Liu s.h.i.+mei, walking all the way to the small hall of Qionghua Courtyard.

Have a seat. Liu s.h.i.+mei asked Moer to serve tea.

When Moer realized that her Young Miss was attacked and the personal bodyguards werent around, she looked very displeased.

But she had to give face to Liu s.h.i.+mei. She poured a cup of tea and slammed it heavily on the spot next to Liu s.h.i.+mei, venting her dissatisfaction!

Zhong Lang didnt sit down and said, Zhong has failed in his duties and is willing to accept any punishment from Eldest Miss.

He was also filled with guilt. When you make a mistake, how could you possibly sit on an equal footing with your master?

Liu s.h.i.+mei didnt treat him like a servant, but within the term of their contract, he knew where he stood.

Lets not talk about punishment for now. Shouldnt you first tell me where you went when the incident happened? Liu s.h.i.+mei didnt force him to sit down either. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.

Zhong Lang didnt answer.

Liu s.h.i.+mei continued, Mr. Zhong, I originally thought I wouldnt pry into your private affairs. But the premise is that your private matters shouldnt involve me. Now, your private matters are affecting my life and death. So, I still need to know some things, especially. what enmity is between you and Medicine Lord?
