Chapter 489 Giving Gifts
At night, Song Ruize returned to the Song residence.
As soon as I entered the door, a white shadow rushed over.
Song Ruize hugged the white shadow and touched its long hair.
"Wang Wang..."
"This fortune-bringing creature is really smart. You haven't seen it many times, but it can smell your scent." Qin Huiyin said while sitting on the swing opposite.
When Song Ruize saw her, joy flashed in his eyes.
He was originally tired, but it was like adding bright colors to an ink painting, and the whole person became lively.
Qin Huiyin got off the swing and walked towards Song Ruize: "Brother, I made something to eat. Let's talk while we eat."
"it is good."
The housekeeper hurried over and said to Song Ruize, "Minghua County Master sent a box, saying it's for you, my Lord."
Song Ruize took the box, opened it and saw an exquisite sword inside.
In addition to the sword, there was also a letter.
Song Ruize closed the box and said to the housekeeper, "Has the delivery person left?"
"not yet."
"Return the things." Song Ruize said calmly.
"Yes."
Song Ruize took Qin Huiyin's hand and walked towards the lobby.
Qin Huiyin's gaze rested on the two people's intertwined hands.
I don't know why, but it always feels a bit weird.
This wasn't the first time they held hands, but today it felt a little strange, and I couldn't quite put my finger on what was strange.
Is it because Song Ruize held her hand too tightly today?
At the dinner table, Song Ruize picked up some food for Qin Huiyin and asked about Tang Yichen's injury.
Qin Huiyin told the truth, looked at Song Ruize and said, "Brother, how did you get them to let Big Brother go?"
"This time, I was in charge of escorting Lady Minghua to visit her relatives. I encountered many dangers along the way, which was a great achievement and earned the recognition of the Princess. The Princess asked the Emperor for my current position as Commander-in-Chief of the Military Division. She also spoke well of Tang Yichen, and the Emperor had a way out and released him. After all, there are so few useful ministers in the court right now, and Tang Yichen is one of the ones the Emperor has focused on training. If such a useful chess piece is wasted like this, it will be difficult for him to find another one as useful."
"Wouldn't that mean you owe the Princess a favor?" Qin Huiyin said, "It's hard to repay favors from these royal nobles. Will she make things difficult for you?"
"No problem, I'll see to it."
"Brother, why did the Lady of Minghua County give you a sword? Although I don't know much about swords, the scabbard of that sword is so exquisite, it is definitely not an ordinary sword."
"I broke my sword while protecting her, and she wants to compensate me with one," Song Ruize said. "But my sword is just an ordinary one, so I can't accept such a valuable one. If I do, that will be the beginning of trouble."
Qin Huiyin was still a little worried.
Perhaps because of what happened to Princess Yuanying, he now instinctively resists and rejects this kind of royal lady.
"Brother, why don't you find someone and get married soon? I always feel something is wrong. That Lady Minghua is too attentive to you."
From the moment she left Beijing, she had noticed Princess Minghua's attitude towards Song Ruize from upstairs and had felt something was amiss. Then, the incident with Princess Yuanying and Tang Yichen occurred. Seeing how overbearing these noble ladies were, she felt that being entangled with these royal ladies was not a good thing. If Princess Yuanying left and Princess Minghua showed up, it would be a disaster.
"You want me to find a girl and get engaged to her as soon as possible?" Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin's expression.
"That's right! It's better for you to pick one you like than to be forced to accept one you don't like and can't refuse. My eldest brother is a lesson for me. I really don't want to go through this stimulation again." Qin Huiyin said, looking at him expectantly, "Do you have one you like? If not, tell me what kind you like and I'll help you find it."
Song Ruize pinched his eyebrows.
"I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first. You should go to bed early too!"
Qin Huiyin watched Song Ruize get up and leave.
"Did I say something wrong?" Qin Huiyin muttered to herself. "Or... is it that I'm actually willing to marry these royal ladies?"
After Qin Huiyin returned to her room, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She always thought of the image of Song Ruize's exhaustion. And the last moment, when Song Ruize turned and left, the dejected aura emanating from his body was something she hadn't seen in a long time.
Song Ruize was no longer the pitiful little boy he once was. He was filled with murderous intent, majesty, and hostility. This feeling of helplessness hadn't been seen in many years.
"No, I have to ask clearly." Qin Huiyin stood up.
She came to the next room and saw that the lights in the room were still on, so she knew that Song Ruize had not rested yet.
"Brother..." Qin Huiyin knocked on the door.
"Hmm..." A painful groan was heard.
When Qin Huiyin heard the voice, she pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Song Ruize half-undressed, sprinkling medicine powder behind him.
There was a long knife wound on his back. The wound was so deep that you could see the flesh and blood.
"Are you injured?" Qin Huiyin's face changed drastically. "Why didn't you tell me you were injured like this?"
She trotted forward and snatched the powder from his hand.
Song Ruize's face was pale, and he smiled faintly: "It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine tomorrow after applying some medicine."
"Do you think you are an iron wall and can recover tomorrow?" Qin Huiyin took out the medicine box and found white wine for disinfection first.
"Hiss..." The white wine spilled, and even a strong man would feel pain.
No matter how powerful he was, he was still made of flesh and blood. He wasn't indestructible, and he still felt pain when he was hurt. When the pain was severe, he threw himself into her arms, holding her hand tightly to breathe his last.
Qin Huiyin finally understood why Song Ruize had held her hand so tightly just now.
He was busy running around despite such a serious injury. He had no rest since returning to Beijing, and had no chance to take medicine. The fact that he has been able to hold on until now shows that he has excellent physical fitness.
Qin Huiyin was heartbroken.
He now has so many brothers and a sister like her, so why does he still have to bear everything by himself?
"Voice..."
"I'm here."
"I don't like those women. I don't want any of them. Not to mention the county lady, even the princess or the princess, I don't like them. I don't like the appearance of a second mistress in this courtyard."
Qin Huiyin was stunned: "So, you mean... you don't plan to get married?"
Is he not interested in women, or is he not interested in marriage?
Song Ruize felt the wound hurt even more.
Angry.
However, there were some things he didn't dare to say. Once he said them, she would be disgusted with him and would not even want to step through this door, and then he would not even have such a life.
He would rather maintain the current situation than take any risks.
"Yinyin has someone you like, do you want to get married?" Song Ruize asked this question, his fingers tightly gripping the quilt, anxiously waiting for her answer.
"I don't want to think about it now. I just don't feel like there's anything I'm particularly interested in." Qin Huiyin said, "Maybe it's because fate hasn't arrived yet!"
