Chapter 216: 216 Exposed_1

Shen Wenchen carried Nanzhi all the way to Jihe Hall.

Wang Jingzhi, who was airing medicinal herbs in the courtyard, surprisingly didn’t look surprised when he saw the two who seemed to have appeared out of the blue.

He raised his eyes to look at the visitor, only to discover that it was Shen Wenchen, and caught a glimpse of the figure he was carrying in his arms.

Noticing the figure was wearing a goose yellow silk dress, he figured that it must be a girl.

After one glance, Wang Jingzhi shifted his gaze away.

"General Shen."

"Is your master here?"

Holder Nanzhi, Shen Wenchen sensed that her body was slightly stiff, realizing that she was feeling shy, and decided not to stay for long.

"My master is here."

Wang Jingzhi nodded in confirmation, watched Shen Wenchen carrying the woman into his master’s room, and then turned away.

Perhaps after Mrs. Lin passed two years ago, General Shen managed to let go.

"Old Sun."

Old Sun was reading medical books in the room, and only looked up when he heard Shen Wenchen’s voice.

But his eyes paused when he saw the figure dressed in goose yellow, "Who is this?"

"She is my fiancée. She was injured while helping to catch a fugitive today. I brought her over for you to examine."

Shen Wenchen explained, as he gently placed Nanzhi on a stool.

"You young boy." Old Sun glared at him, then turned his head with a smile and said to Nanzhi: "Little girl, extend your foot and let me take a look."

"Sorry for the trouble." Nanzhi, with some embarrassment, stretched out her left foot, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Young Shen is a good boy, it seems you have good taste."

Old Sun smiled and stroked his beard. Nanzhi, thinking he was just accompanying Shen Wenchen and complimenting him, nodded along.

However, Shen Wenchen understood what he meant.

Ever since he came to Yan City two years ago, he has been on and off missions, thus frequently sustaining injuries.

In the beginning, he would arbitrarily choose a medical hall, until Twelve told him to go to Jihe Hall to seek out Dr. Sun Qian. Since then, Old Sun has been his only doctor.

Perhaps because he is a "villain" in this storybook, his physical condition is fortunate, and from time to time, Old Sun would let him try out new medicines. His praise as being a good boy was just a commendation for his resilience.

Old Sun glanced at Nanzhi’s sore and swollen ankle, clicking his tongue in displeasure.

"Girl, your foot is in this condition and you didn’t cry. That’s really something."

As Old Sun made his remark, he pressed his hand on the red and swollen skin of her foot, causing Nanzhi to gasp for breath.

Just now, she hadn’t registered the pain as it was numb, but now it was unbearable!

"If it still hurts, it’s nothing serious."

As soon as the words fell, Old Sun made a slight effort with both hands, and Nanzhi gave a sigh. All of a sudden, the pain was gone.

"It’s fine now, take this medicinal wine, massage it when you’re home."

Once Old Sun finished speaking, he resumed reading his book, ignoring them.

"Thank you, Old Sun."

After expressing his thanks, Shen Wenchen picked up Nanzhi again and turned to leave the room.

"I can walk by myself..."

Nanzhi felt somewhat helpless as the man held her, without seeming to mind the weight.

"I don’t trust you walking alone. I’ll have to go back after taking you home, be nice."

Shen Wenchen coaxed her and didn’t wait for Nanzhi’s response. With a light touch of his toes, he flew up to the roof.

Wang Jingzhi watched as their figures left, his hands involuntarily pausing for a moment.

"Jingzhi, make a cup of tea for your master."

Upon hearing Old Sun’s voice, Wang Jingzhi was startled out of his thoughts.

"Yes, Master."

After sending Nanzhi back to the Lin family, Shen Wenchen hurriedly left after instructing her on a few things, leaving Nanzhi sitting dazed in the living room of her home.

She had no idea what she was going to do next.

Firstly, she was definitely going to sell the cumin. But she was unsure about what to do with her business.

Initially, she could still make money when Cumin was sold at one hundred and fifty wen per pound by relying on a large volume of small-margin sales. But now, the price of Cumin has skyrocketed which made her quite hesitant to continue selling.

If the cost is high, the pricing would also be high. Once the price increases, it is certain that she would need to cater to a new set of customers.

Just as she was extremely distressed about this, the gate to the Lin family compound was pushed open.

It was the Lin Yicheng-Lin Ercheng couple and their four children.

Each of the four children held a string of toffee caramel. Lin Ercheng was also holding something in his hand.

"Nanzhi, how come you’re back so fast?"

Chen Qiulan was rather curious when she saw Nanzhi sitting inside the hall.

She had thought that her younger sister-in-law and Shen’s daughter would play a bit longer.

"There was a little accident." Nanzhi tried to laugh it off, but Sun Cui noticed her distinctly swollen ankle.

"Nanzhi, what happened to you? How did your ankle get swollen like that?"

"I accidentally twisted it. I’ve already applied medicinal wine, it’s not a big deal."

Hearing that Nanzhi had sprained her ankle, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng both came over.

"Nanzhi, you must be careful. Don’t go out these two days."

"I know."

As they were talking, Nanzhi suddenly noticed the object in his second brother, Ercheng’s hand.

"Ercheng, what is that you are holding?"

Looking at the shiny black object, Nanzhi swallowed.

Could it be what she thought it was?

"It’s something Zhiyu liked."

Lin Ercheng glanced at the object in his hand and laughed, "When we were in Lihua Village, Zhiyu liked to keep this. I remember when I and my elder brother saw it for the first time, we were quite startled. But I think it’s about the same size as the one in your house, it’s quite a coincidence."

"Indeed, it’s quite a coincidence."

Nanzhi looked complicated as she glanced at Shen Zhiyu, who was intently eating her toffee caramel and sighed deeply.

What could this mean?

"I’ll put it in the backyard for now, so it won’t dry up."

"Sure."

Just when Lin Yicheng’s family returned home less than one hour, both father Lin and mother Lin also came back home.

Nanzhi had injured her foot, and both Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui, the sisters-in-law, tacitly went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

After a big family had dinner together, everyone tidied up and went to rest.

Because mother Lin was worried Yuanbao would move around during the sleep and bump into Nanzhi’s injured foot, she coaxed her to sleep in their room.

Nanzhi sat on a small stool brought by her son, staring blankly at the object in the wooden basin.

"Mother, are you okay?"

With her eyes wide open, Shen Zhiyu looked at Nanzhi with a sincere gaze.

"I’m fine."

Nanzhi shook her head, pinched her son’s soft cheek, and sent him off to sleep.

"So Mother, you should also go to bed early."

"Alright."

Nanzhi looked at the crutch that her father had specifically prepared for her and sighed.

After making sure her son had gone back to his room,

She stared at the river clam in the wooden basin with a complex expression.

"Xiaohe, this is really hard on you."

The river clam in the wooden basin felt a sudden chill run up its nonexistent spine.

It couldn’t help but be on guard.

Could it be that this woman has figured out its identity?

"You followed me all the way from Lihua Village, I don’t know how you got out of the well."

Upon hearing her words, the river clam slightly breathed a sigh of relief. She was probably not aware of its identity, was she?

Seeing the river clam blowing out a string of small bubbles, the corner of Nanzhi’s lips curled up slightly.
