Shi Ningyue's injury recovered quickly. Although she was in a drowsy state most of the time, she woke up more and more often, and she could even open her eyes and talk to Mrs. Shi. Fang Zian could not always

With her accompanying her, she could only visit occasionally. Unfortunately, Shi Ningyue was sleeping several times during the visits, but she was not able to say a word to Shi Ningyue. But Fang Zian heard the news that she was recovering.

Still very happy.

Although he couldn't accompany him, Fang Zian took the initiative to take Tan Miaoshou to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment and to prepare medicine. Originally, Tan Miaoshou said that there was no need to pick him up, but Fang Zian still drove there. Tan Miaoshou was also a famous doctor in the capital.

One time can be regarded as an effort. The more Zhou Xiang serves him, the more attentive he will be to Ning Yue's treatment. Even if Tan Miaoshou will not be perfunctory, he can at least have peace of mind. This is like seeing a doctor in later generations.

There is a reason to give gifts and money to doctors. The servants of the Shi family can also prepare medicine. Mrs. Shi also said that Fang Zian does not need to prepare the medicine himself. But Fang Zian still does it himself, taking the best medicine according to the prescription and being meticulous.

Weigh, grind, screen, and cook strictly according to the recipe. Don't dare to take it lightly.

As for whether to notify Shi Hao, Mrs. Shi's attitude was that since Ning Yue was getting better, there was no need to worry about this matter for Shi Hao. The spring lock-up of the courtyard was a major matter for the court, and this time Mrs. Shi also understood that her husband was concerned about this matter.

She was a person who understood justice and never hindered her husband in official matters. Therefore, she decided not to inform Shi Hao. This coincided with the news sent by Qin Xiqing. Qin Xiqing learned that Shi Ning

After hearing the news about Yue's injury, she reported the matter to Zhao Yuan. The instruction given by Zhao Yuan was that Shi Hao could not leave the Gongyuan examination site at this moment. The examination was the most critical part. If Shi Hao left, wouldn't he be letting others do whatever they wanted?

.So I can’t inform Shi Hao under any circumstances.

Fang Zian knew that Shi Hao would always have to pass that test. If Shi Hao knew about this after returning home, he wouldn't know how to scold himself. Fortunately, Ning Yue's injury improved, which is the greatest good thing. As for Shi Hao's future

I can only accept the rebuke.

Three days passed. After dinner on the third day, when Fang Zian was sitting on the porch of his residence, pouring the weighed medicinal powder into a clay pot and fanning it to cook, Mrs. Shi sent her personal maid Qiuping.

, please ask Fang Zian to go to Ningyue’s residence in the inner hall.

Fang Zian didn't know what it was, and thought it was Shi Ningyue's repeated injuries, so he asked Qiuping, but she didn't know what it was. Fang Zian worriedly walked quickly to the back house of Shi's family, and went straight to Shi Ningyue's boudoir.

, after entering the door, he found Mrs. Shi sitting outside drinking tea. Fang Zian asked quickly.

"Old madam, what happened? How is Miss Ningyue?"

Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Look at how nervous you are. Ning Yue is feeling very well. She woke up in the evening and this time she didn't feel dizzy anymore. She is in good spirits. She also had a bowl of bird's nest and ginseng porridge for dinner."

Fang Zian felt a stone fall to the ground, held his forehead and said: "It scared me, I thought there was a recurrence. This is a good thing, it means that the injury is almost healed. Maybe I can get out of bed in a few days.

.”

Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Yes, it's almost gone."

Fang Zian said: "Congratulations to the old lady, Ning Yue survived the catastrophe this time, and she will definitely be free from illness and disaster for the rest of her life. This is a disaster."

Mrs. Shi smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too. Maybe there is a disaster in life."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "I have to burn incense later. Is Ningyue still awake now? Can I go and see her?"

Mrs. Shi said: "She just

Go to sleep. After talking for a while, I was afraid that she would be tired, so I asked her to sleep."

Fang Zian nodded and said: "That's right, you have to continue to rest and not leave any sequelae. But the old lady called me here just to tell me the good news? Then I understand, I have to go back and boil the medicine. The medicine is still there

It's on the stove."

Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Leave it to others. I called you here to ask you a few questions."

Fang Zian said: "Old madam, please speak."

Mrs. Shi nodded, put down the tea cup, sat upright, looked at Fang Zian solemnly and said: "Zian, do you like my Yue'er? I want you to tell the truth, and I don't want to hear anything that goes against your heart. If you like it, you like it,

If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. You can tell lies to others normally, but this time I want you to tell the truth.”

Fang Zian was stunned and said with a smile: "Why did the old lady ask about this?"

Mrs. Shi said with a straight face: "Of course I have to ask. This disaster happened to Ning Yue, and I feel very sad. My husband and I only have a daughter, so we naturally hope that she will live a happy and disease-free life. However, my daughter is older.

Well, we don’t know what’s going on in her heart, and some things cannot be left to her own whim. I think you should know that Ningyue likes you very much, right?”

Fang Zian nodded lightly and said: "I'm sorry, old lady, it's my fault. Ningyue is a simple and lovely girl. She loved me wrongly. I am very grateful but also very uneasy. But don't worry, old lady, I love Ningyue."

Yue has never done anything disrespectful, never done anything beyond the rules, I swear to God."

Mrs. Shi shook her head and said: "I'm not here to pursue you for these things. My husband and I can see that Ningyue has feelings for you. My husband and I have also discussed this matter, but my husband thinks this is not a case.

Good marriage. This is not to say that you are not good. Your husband has always praised you for your intelligence and courage. He likes you very much. But... your husband said that you will definitely encounter many dangers in your life because you are doing big things.

People who act recklessly are also people who act recklessly. The things that happen in the inevitable court are very dangerous, and you will obviously be involved in them. If Ningyue marries you, I will be afraid for the rest of my life, and there will be no happiness at all. Therefore,

He doesn’t want Ningyue to have anything to do with you. Can you understand what I say?”

Fang Zian frowned and nodded, and whispered: "I understand. Master Shi knows me. I am vulgar and reckless, and I am indeed not a good match for Ning Yue. I have considered this matter, and I am self-aware. I also told Ning Yue

But from your standpoint, I can understand your thoughts. As a parent, you naturally hope that your daughter will be safe and healthy throughout her life. If it were me, I might do the same."

"Good boy, I am very touched and pleased that you can think so." Mrs. Shi nodded slowly.

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "What the old lady means is that you want me to stop contacting Ningyue from now on? Do you want me to stop disturbing her from now on?"

Mrs. Shi smiled and asked softly: "If I ask you to do this, will you agree?"

Fang Zian frowned and didn't know how to answer for a while. After a while, Fang Zian said: "Old madam, I don't want to lie to you. If it were before, I would promise you to leave Ningyue and never have anything to do with her. But now

, but I can’t do it anymore.”

Mrs. Shi said: "How do you say this?"

Fang Zian said: "It's very simple, because I have fallen in love with Ningyue, and I have vowed to protect her and cherish her for the rest of my life. Unless Ningyue herself tells me that she does not want to see me again, otherwise I will not

I will agree."

Mrs. Shi frowned and said: "Why is that? Yes

Do you feel guilty because Ning Yue was injured? And you didn't actually like her before, but now you feel ashamed of her?"

Mrs. Shi's words were direct and sharp. She was also a shrewd person, and she had a good guess about Fang Zian's psychology.

Fang Zian slowly shook his head and said: "No. I do feel guilty for Ningyue's injury, but how can emotional matters go against my heart just because of guilt? After Ningyue was injured this time, I discovered that I actually like her very much, and

I have always liked her. I just didn't realize it before. She suffered so much this time, which made me understand how fragile human life is. Since she likes me and I also like her, why should I hide it?

Are you secretive and afraid to express yourself?"

Mrs. Shi nodded and said: "So you have realized so many truths. However, if Yue'er follows you, you yourself know that she will suffer hardships. Since you like her, you shouldn't let her suffer with you, right?

?”

Fang Zian said solemnly: "Life is short, there are many unsatisfactory things, and there are many difficulties and obstacles. But if you can be with the person you like, no matter how hard it is, it doesn't matter. For example, Madam, you and Mr. Shi, according to

I know that you have also experienced many difficult times, but you have dealt with them together, and now the hardships are over. When you got married to Mr. Shi, you must have liked him. If you were worried about enduring hardships with him, wouldn't you regret it to death?

.I will do my best to take care of the people around me and will not let them suffer, but I cannot guarantee that I will do this. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future. I think people who truly love each other do not care about suffering, but

If you only want to be comfortable, once a disaster strikes, you will be unable to withstand it. Ningyue is your daughter, you should also understand that she is not that kind of person."

Mrs. Shi chuckled and said, "You are indeed very eloquent. I really learned a lesson."

Fang Zian said sternly: "I'm definitely not talking, these are my sincere words."

Mrs. Shi sighed and said, "But what if her father doesn't allow it? What should you do?"

Fang Zian shook his head slowly and said: "I don't know. Logically speaking, marriage matters must be subject to the orders of parents and the matchmaker. Of course Mr. Shi can stop it, but I can't quarrel with Mr. Shi. There is actually nothing I can do.

"More. But I have told Madam all my thoughts. I can only ask Mr. Shi to fulfill my wishes when the time comes."

Mrs. Shi nodded and said: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I just want to know how you feel about Ningyue, and now I know that you also like her. Then this matter can continue. If you don't like it,

Ningyue, you can't even get through this test with me. Zian, you are very good. I have worked hard on you these past few days. I can see your concern for Ningyue. I believe you will be fine with Ningyue. You can

Went to see Ning Yue."

Fang Zian was stunned and said in astonishment: "What does the old lady mean by this? Didn't Ning Yue take a rest?"

Mrs. Shi smiled and said: "You will know after you go in and take a look. I am also tired, so I will go and rest. Don't talk too late. Ning Yue's body is still very weak and she needs to rest."

Mrs. Shi got up and walked out. Fang Zian stood outside for a moment, turned to look at the inner room, and walked slowly. After opening the door and lifting the bead curtain, Fang Zian was surprised to see Shi Ningyue standing at the door.

She looked at herself from the side, with tears streaming down her face. It turned out that she had been standing at the door listening to the conversation between herself and Mrs. Shi, and she had heard what she said from the bottom of her heart.

"Ningyue!" Fang Zian called softly.
