Chapter 198 Accidental Fall into the Water

Wei Songhan was choked by the chili pepper and kept coughing. His cheeks were slightly red from enduring it, but he still said stubbornly: "You are dreaming and still want to drink? Before your body is completely healed, you can't touch anything spicy. Do you understand?"

"You are too authoritarian..." Jing Zhuo had not finished speaking when he put a piece of tender tofu into his mouth. Unexpectedly, he was instantly burned and gasped for air. He wailed, "Ouch, it's so hot, it's so hot!"

Wei Songhan quickly poured a cup of herbal tea and placed it in front of her, "Drink it quickly."

As a result, neither of them gained anything from the hotpot meal.

Jing Zhuo's mouth hurt from the burns, and Wei Songhan felt very spicy.

The two looked at each other's embarrassed appearance, which caused them to laugh involuntarily.

"Master Wei, I won't eat hotpot with you next time. Every time I meet you, I always encounter some bad luck."

"For example?" Wei Songhan raised his eyebrows.

Jing Zhuo's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past, from the surprise of knowing she was pregnant, to the hardship of keeping the fetus, to the pain of giving birth, all along the way, Wei Songhan's figure never appeared. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.

"That's all. They're just trivial matters."

"I would like to be with Master Jing. After you recover from your illness, we can have a drink together." His tone was not one of inquiry, but one of determination.

"Tsk~~" Jing Zhuo took a few sips of herbal tea to ease the pain in his mouth.

Jing Xiangxue reminded from the side: "Be careful and eat slowly."

After eating and drinking, Jing Zhuo still felt a dull pain in his mouth, but when he saw Wei Songhan's mouth was as swollen as a sausage, he found it funny.

"Zhuo'er, why don't you guys go get some medicine? I'll go see how the children are doing."

After saying that, she left the two of them alone here again.

The moonlight was like silver, pouring down. Jing Zhuo led Wei Songhan into his living room. With a slight twist of his finger, the light on the side lit up, and the soft light instantly dispelled the darkness in the room.

Wei Songhan found it very strange. "I wanted to ask before, why are the things in your room so strange and weird?"

"It's fine to call it strange, but not weird. The things I have here are world-leading inventions. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Wei Songhan looked carefully at everything here, the singing box and the kettle that made sounds.

There was also the powdery white substance that the children drank, and the hakama that was thrown away without being washed. Everything seemed magical to him.

"Are these all your inventions?"

Jing Zhuo didn't know how to explain it for a moment: "I guess so, almost."

She found the medicine for ulcers and asked, "Sir Wei, could you please apply this medicine to me?"

"What is this?" Wei Songhan looked at the small bottle in her hand curiously.

"This is watermelon frost, which is specially used to treat ulcers in the mouth caused by burns. It is quite effective." She explained patiently.

Jingzhuo opened his mouth, waiting for him to help with the medicine.

Wei Songhan's throat moved and he swallowed unconsciously. His fingers trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to stay calm and carefully sprinkled the medicine for her.

He thought to himself that maybe she thought he didn't know her true identity, so she acted so casually and generously, so he should pretend to know nothing.

"If you can't eat spicy food in the future, don't force yourself. This is a cooling ointment. Just apply it lightly on your lips and it will definitely relieve the burning pain." Jing Zhuo took out a small jar of green ointment.

Wei Songhan smiled bitterly and pretended to be helpless: "I can't see the position, how about you wipe it for me?"

Jing Zhuo tilted his head in confusion. Does this still require looking at the position? But he still took the cooling cream and helped him apply it.

The moment the ointment touched her lips, a feeling of freshness permeated, and the warmth from her fingertips, along with the coolness of the ointment, slowly moved between Wei Songhan's lips, causing waves of tremors.

He could see up close how the other person was carefully applying the ointment on him.

Wei Songhan had a feeling of being out of control, and he knew that he could not stay here any longer.

If past misconduct could be attributed to external calculations, then the ups and downs of his emotions at this moment were truly caused by her.

He longed to hold her tightly in his arms and kiss her lips that made him dream.

Wei Songhan said hurriedly: "I am really exhausted today, so I will take my leave first. You can rest at ease and don't forget to take the medicine."

Jing Zhuo was still wondering, "Why is this man so weird?"

I hope my behavior just now didn't reveal any flaws.

Otherwise, according to Wei Songhan's personality, he would not apply medicine to her, nor would he let herself help him apply the medicine.

I should be able to get away with it this time, after all, Wei Songhan is about to leave here.

But why did she feel a little lost in her heart?

Wei Songhan hurried into the house, took off his coat impatiently, and then stood resolutely in the courtyard, letting the biting cold wind penetrate his clothes, trying to cool the inappropriate throbbing in his heart.

He shouldn't have such thoughts. After all, he grew up under strict family education. How could he allow such frivolous thoughts to take root?

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the strange feeling faded away.

When the two met again in the morning, they both looked a little strange.

Wei Songhan's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look into her bright eyes easily.

Jing Zhuo seemed to have thousands of words to say, but they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't find the right opportunity to speak.

Jing Zhuo was the first to break the silence between the two: "It's still early today, why don't I treat Lord Wei to a good meal outside?"

"Okay, does the ulcer in your mouth still hurt?"

Jing Zhuo waved his hand, "It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm almost healed."

She could vaguely see Wei Songhan's slightly raised lips, which were still a little red and swollen.

"Your lips...seem not to have fully recovered yet." Jing Zhuo's voice was filled with laughter.

It looked like the sausage mouth in the movies she had seen before. When she thought of Wei Songhan's usual cold and aloof appearance, and now this funny image, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"If you find it funny, you might as well laugh out loud. There's no need to hold it back, or you'll hurt yourself." Wei Songhan was still calm and composed.

"Then do you still want to have morning tea with me? I wonder what others will think when they see you like this?" She covered her mouth, but finally couldn't help laughing.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

So the two of them came to the largest morning tea shop in Linzhou.

"Oh, please come in, my dear guests!" The waiter came up to greet them warmly. His eyes lingered on Wei Songhan. He almost couldn't stop smiling, but he quickly resumed his professional attentiveness. "We are honored to have you two here today."

"Is there any private room? Let's go to the private room."

"Yes, yes, please follow me."

The two of them sat in the box, and Jing Zhuo then teased, "Now, no one can see you like this, Lord Wei, what do you want to eat?"

"It's all right. Have some!"

Now that they were alone together again, his heart began to beat fast again.

"Oh, then let's have some shrimp dumplings, glutinous rice and chicken, steamed pork ribs, rice rolls, and siu mai...Is that enough?"

Wei Songhan coughed lightly: "Is this your morning tea or lunch?"

"I still feel like it's not enough. The morning tea here is delicious. I want another serving of barbecued pork buns!"

A table full of food was placed in front of him. Jing Zhuo hadn't had such a big appetite in a long time, so he started eating the shrimp dumplings first.

"It's really delicious. It's so tasty. The skin is thin and delicious. Sir Wei, you must try this!"

“The sticky rice chicken is delicious too.”

Jing Zhuo's face was greasy as he ate. Wei Songhan watched from the side and felt his appetite improve as well.

"Even though I'm still sick, my appetite is still so good."

Jing Zhuo's mouth was already stuffed full. "It is precisely because you are sick that you need to eat more. Isn't that what you told me? Sir Wei, have you forgotten about it?"

Wei Songhan was speechless, but a smile remained on his face.

"You're right, you're right about everything."

After cleaning up the table of morning tea, Jing Zhuo prepared to pack up some to take back.

"We sneaked out to eat delicious food. If our family knew about it, they would definitely say something bad about us. We brought some back to reward my mother. My sister-in-law also likes to eat these."

Wei Songhan really likes her using the word family. Does this mean that she also considers him as a family member?

"Huan'er and Yu'er are too young, otherwise I would really like to let them have a taste too. They can eat it when they grow up a little bit."

Wei Songhan didn't feel annoyed at all listening to her mumbling, but instead felt very warm.

He had never felt this way in the Wei family.

My parents were very strict and I was busy taking care of my younger siblings and studying when I was young.

They just seemed to shape him into what they expected him to be, but never asked him what he wanted to be.

The current Lord Wei is what his parents expected him to be.

But he was not as happy as he had imagined. Returning to the capital, and having to work under his father again, he did not feel relaxed but depressed.

When he thought about leaving here tomorrow, Wei Songhan sighed softly with a hint of reluctance on his face.

"Look how bustling Linzhou Street is. Our Jing family business deserves half the credit." Jing Zhuo's tone couldn't help but contain a hint of pride.

"I'm not bragging, the Jing family's tea is authentic and delicious. Lord Wei, why don't you take some back to honor your father? I heard that your father is also a tea lover, he will definitely like it."

Jing Zhuo took things from his own shop without any hesitation and prepared several bags of tea for Wei Songhan to take back.

"That's absolutely not possible. I still have to pay the money..." Wei Songhan hurriedly prepared to take out his purse.

But Jing Zhuo stopped him, "Master Wei, you are looking down on the Jing family. You have helped me, so it is only natural for me to give you something!"

A few words emerged in Wei Songhan's mind: Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law.

"Okay, then I'll obey your command. Thank you, Master Jing."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, there are still good things!"

Jing Zhuo took him to the pharmacy again, "The tonics here are very effective. Take these red dates and donkey-hide gelatin back for your aunt to take, and it will keep her young forever."

Two more boxes full of Asai fell into his hands.

"Oh, and you have a sister. Girls' favorite things should be rouge and powder. Let me tell you, all the skin care products that are popular in Beijing are made by Nianwei. They are hard to come by in Beijing, but they are from me. I will give you a few boxes. You can take them back and give them to your sisters or your sweetheart..."

Whenever she thought about the fact that Wei Songhan would eventually marry a beautiful woman of equal status, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart.

And Wei Songhan explained with a very sincere look: "My sweetheart doesn't seem to like these very much."

He actually already has a lover. Upon hearing this, Jing Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.

However, this is understandable. You can't force him to stay single for the rest of his life and just think about the ethereal woman in his dreams.

"Since you don't like it, then give it to your sisters at home. I'm sure someone will be happy."

Before they knew it, the two had strolled past several shops, and Wei Songhan's hands were full.

"Master Jing, these things are enough. I can't carry them anymore."

Jing Zhuo seemed to wake up from his deep thoughts when he heard this, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, "I am negligent. I will order them to be sent back first, and you can take them with you when you set off tomorrow, okay?"

"Thank you for your consideration, Master Jing. This arrangement is very good."

Jing Zhuo then gave up, "Okay, I understand."

When passing by the small bridge, a government carriage came unexpectedly and sped past. Jing Zhuo reacted quickly and stepped aside to make way, but he accidentally slipped and lost his balance.

Wei Songhan wanted to reach out his hand quickly, but failed to hold her back and watched her fall into the river.

Without caring about anything else, Wei Songhan jumped into the river without hesitation.

Jing Zhuo struggled a few times, choked on some water, and flapped his legs desperately, then he felt someone had lifted his waist.

"It's very dangerous. Hold on to me and don't move." Wei Songhan's voice came to my ears.

The two were very close, so close that their bodies seemed to be pressed together.

Wei Songhan had already noticed her graceful curves, so he carried her to the shore and immediately took off his outer robe and covered her with it.

"Thank you, Sir Wei."

This trip was full of disasters, Jing Zhuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Wei Songhan, however, had a cold face and asked the vendor beside him in a deep voice: "Whose carriage was that just passing by?"

"It is the governor's carriage."

Wei Songhan narrowed his eyes slightly, "How can it be possible to run around like this in the street."

"That's right. You don't know. There are even worse things. If we, the small vendors, hadn't dodged in time, we would have been beaten to death."

Jing Zhuo frowned: "There is such a thing, why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Now you know, he almost hurt you just now. You haven't recovered from your cold yet, and you fell into the water. Your condition will definitely get worse. I will take you back to change clothes first."

Wei Songhanmei waited for her to agree, then quickly carried her back to Jing Mansion. Along the way, people gathered around to watch the two of them.

"This young master of the Jing family has yet to get married. Could it be that he has some homosexual tendency?" Passersby murmured when they saw this.
