Chapter 2182: Chapter 2182: Hungry (4)
Because of Yang Ruxin’s absence, dinner was simple, and after everyone finished eating, they all went to rest.
In the main courtyard, Fa Hanxing was wiping down a guqin, and finally, there was a hint of a smile on his face. This was his wife’s favorite guqin, and he hadn’t heard its music for fifteen years, hoping that soon, he could hear it again.
Outside the room, Zhang Xinlan watched the man inside affectionately wiping the guqin. Her hands, hanging at her sides, unconsciously clenched. Brother-in-law, clearly, I knew you first all those years ago, but why have you ignored me all these years? What’s so good about Xing Ziyu anyway... She involuntarily closed her eyes for a moment. No, it’s best if that woman never wakes up.
"Aunt," Fa Qingyang walked over, "why are you standing here?"
Zhang Xinlan was startled but had already composed her expression by the time she turned around. "I originally wanted to tell my brother-in-law to rest early, but when I saw him wiping your mother’s favorite guqin, I didn’t disturb him..."
Fa Qingyang turned his head to glance inside the room, then smiled: "It’s late autumn now, staying out here too long might catch you a cold."
"I’ll be going back now," Zhang Xinlan smiled too, "then you should persuade your father."
Fa Qingyang nodded and then watched Zhang Xinlan leave.
Yang Ruxin didn’t know how long she had slept; anyway, when she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright outside, and she realized she had slept until noon the next day.
"Xinxin," Gu Qingheng’s voice came through, "how do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I feel much better after sleeping." Yang Ruxin smiled. "That Needling Technique is very exhausting." She now finally understood the hard work of doctors. She had often heard of doctors collapsing on the operating table after several surgeries, and now she experienced it too. "But I’m hungry."
"You slept for almost two hours; how could you not be hungry?" Gu Qingheng said as he brought over some clothes, "Do you want to eat in the front, or should I bring the food in here?"
"This is someone else’s house, so I should go eat in the front." Yang Ruxin playfully glanced at Gu Qingheng.
"It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re happy."
"With you by my side, I’m always happy." Yang Ruxin playfully pinched Gu Qingheng’s cheek.
Gu Qingheng felt a teasing itch in his heart, but just as he wanted to do something, Zhang Xinlan came over herself with people carrying a basin of water and other items, clearly to assist Yang Ruxin with her grooming, so he had to stop.
"You go to the front hall first," Yang Ruxin gave Gu Qingheng a look, "with the madam here, I’ll be there shortly."
"That’s right, brother-in-law, you go on, I’ll be here too," Yu Qingge also came in, "Besides, you don’t know how to style a woman’s hair."
Gu Qingheng just smiled and then left.
"General Gu really treats madam well," Zhang Xinlan said as she directed people to place cosmetics and such on the table.
"Of course," Yu Qingge responded first, "there’s no couple in the world whose relationship is better than my sister and brother-in-law."
Yang Ruxin washed her face, applied just a bit of face cream, and refused other cosmetics.
"Madam, do you know if my cousin..." Zhang Xinlan asked, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Yang Ruxin, "will she wake up?"
Yang Ruxin sat down in front of the dressing table: "It’s hard to say." After a pause, "But it seems like the madam and Mrs. Fa have a great relationship."
