The shabby and quiet courtyard was filled with a faint scent of medicine. The maids were busy with their tasks, and suddenly they saw cardamom rushing in from outside the courtyard in various shapes. This made the little maids put down what they were doing in unison.
Worker looked up and saw the other party rushing into Qingwan's bedroom like a gust of wind.
"Miss, miss... the Ninth Prince is here!" Daukou panted, already shouting before he even entered the room.
Zisu was supporting Qingwan and feeding her porridge. Hearing this, he couldn't help but pause in his movements and subconsciously looked at Qingwan's reaction.
Qingwan frowned, raised her head suspiciously, looked at Daukou at the door and said, "What did you say?"
Daukou took a deep breath, and then said hurriedly: "I just went to the warehouse to get medicine for the young lady. When I came back, I saw the Ninth Prince and the Master coming to our yard, so I hurried back to report it."
"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Qing Wan's brows couldn't help but frown deeper, and there was a bit of shock and disbelief in her eyes.
Daukou nodded affirmatively and said: "This slave will not be mistaken. That person is indeed the Ninth Prince. Moreover, he is personally accompanied by the Lord and is coming to us."
"What's he doing here?" Qing Wan couldn't help but wonder. Based on his friendship with Ji Lanjin, he shouldn't have known each other well enough for the other party to come to visit him, right? Or, he felt that the warning that day was not clear enough.
I understand, so I came here today to add a few more words?
"Could he have heard those rumors?" Zisu guessed.
"What rumors?" She has been lying in bed pretending to be sick these days. Apart from paying attention to the movements of Qian and Qingrao, she is not very clear about what is happening outside.
Zisu relayed what she heard from the outside to the other party: "There are rumors outside that the young lady fell in love with the Ninth Prince, but was rejected by the Ninth Prince. She was sad and depressed. She just happened to catch up with the Wang family to offer a job, and she was furious.
, that’s why I can’t afford to get sick.”
"Really?" Qing Wan showed a thoughtful expression, "In this case, he came here today, it is very likely that he came to me to ask for punishment."
Before he finished speaking, a white figure appeared behind Daukou. At the same time, Mr. Qing's pretending to be majestic voice sounded: "How is your young lady doing?"
Daukou was startled. He turned around and saw the two of them. He knelt down and said, "I have met the Ninth Prince and the master."
Mr. Qing glared at the other party impatiently and said, "Didn't you hear what I asked you? How is your young lady doing?"
"Miss, Miss, she..." Daukou subconsciously looked in Qingwan's direction, thinking about how to answer better.
Over there, Qing Wan coughed twice and said weakly: "Ahem... My daughter is fine, my father is sorry for worrying about it." Then, she looked at another white figure at the door and said: "The daughter of the people has met the Ninth Prince.
Your Majesty, please calm down and please forgive me for my inconvenience and my inability to salute the Ninth Prince."
Although the rumors outside were somewhat different from what she had originally imagined, the effect was similar. However, she did not expect that the other party would come here in person.
Ji Lanjin's expression was indifferent and her expression could not be clearly seen as she said: "No need to be polite! I heard that you were so sad and depressed because of me that you died of a serious illness? I came here specifically to have a look today."
His words were lukewarm, neither cold nor indifferent, and they contained no trace of emotion, making it difficult for people to see clearly and guess...his true intention of coming here.
