C118 (1/2)
Su Zhi reached out and picked the puppy up from the snow. She examined it up and down, but didn't find any trace of injuries. She didn't know where it came from, but it was very likely that it would freeze to death outside.
”What do you think, mother?”
”Alright, since A Jin wants to raise a baby, mother will allow it.”
Su Zhi nodded.
Hopefully, the puppy will be able to clear the haze in A Jin's heart and quickly forget about yesterday's incident.
With that, A Jin jumped up happily and carefully picked up the little dog in Su Zhi's hands, happily narrowing her crescent teeth.
Su used hot water to wash the little mutt's body clean, then placed it beside the brazier to let it warm up.
The two children had a new toy, and they surrounded the little yellow dog, sizing it up.
The dog was not afraid of living. It ate and drank to its heart's content as it lay by the brazier and slept soundly.
No matter how much the child played around, he would not pay attention. He was snoring and sleeping soundly.
When it was noon, Su Zhi saw that the lunch was about to be ready, and was preparing to let the two children wash their hands before having their lunch, there came a knock on the door.
As she raised the matter of knocking on the door, Bi Yue, who was preparing the dishes, instantly tensed up.
”Who's going to be here at noon?”
”I'll go take a look. You stay here.”
Su Zhi put down the dishes in her hands and went out to open the door.
”Who is it?”
”Young lady, it's me!”
Lu Hengzhi? Why did this plague come again? If he didn't recuperate properly, what was the point in running around blindly?
”I came down here to... Open the door first, I'm feeling really bad right now. ”
The man's weak voice came from outside the door. Seeing that the door was still open, he even felt a bit wronged.
Su Zhi had no choice but to open the door.
The man was wearing thin clothes and stood outside the door pitifully. ”Su Zhi, I'm going to die soon.”
Clutching his wound, he leaned against the door, trying to look as if he was in pain.
Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him, ”Your Highness, stop acting, it's pretty boastful.”
”Very boastful? That shouldn't be the case, I've practiced it many times over and over. ”
This man … Is there something wrong with my head?
”Your Highness, since you are injured, you should lie on the bed and recuperate. If you run around the streets like this, you will worsen your injuries.”
”Ah?” ”Really?”
The man's face fell as he said in a sobbing tone, ”I also feel that we shouldn't ride a horse. It was just a bit cold, but my shoulder is hurting now.”
Yes, who told you to do it? Just bear with it!
”Hey, you guys are eating. I'm also hungry.”
After he finished speaking, the man walked in without waiting for Su Zhi's response.
”Hey hey, what is His Highness doing, does Prince Yongning's residence not care about food?”
Lu Huan Zhi bit her lips and said with dissatisfaction, ”Don't be so stingy. After all, I was injured in order to save you. Don't you mean past? ”
Su Zhi: ”…”
Thank you. If it wasn't for you getting in the way, He Qiniang wouldn't have escaped!
”You have no conscience. This food is not for free. I will give you money.”
He took out a silver ingot from his bosom and tossed it to the woman who blocked the door before rushing into the courtyard.
Su Zhi pursed her lips. This lively person really couldn't even be bothered to disguise himself after being exposed.
After Lu Huan Zhi entered the room, she sat down without waiting for anyone to greet her. Picking up her chopsticks, she picked up the bowl and started filling the bowl with the rice.
Since there were so many dishes, Su Zhi had no choice but to let him eat.
”Look at how fated we are, I just so happen to be here for dinner.”
Su Zhi almost spat on the ground. Did this man have any shame? At this time, could there be nine households in each of the ten households that were eating? He was still so shameless when it came to eating meals.
