Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 356 Goodwill
Although Nie Xiayun was old, she was healthy and strong. She lifted Yan Ciwan's head with one hand and fed her the medicine with the other.

The medicine was very bitter, but Yan Ciwan drank it all without blinking.

Nie Xiayun was quite surprised: "You used to hate taking medicine the most, and it would take a long time to coax you to take it every time. Now you have changed your nature and become much more obedient."

Lying on the bed, Yan Ciwan said weakly, "So I used to be this annoying."

"Where are you annoying? You used to be very cute. Even if you were a little temperamental sometimes, it was nothing. Who in the entire Prince's mansion didn't like you?"

Yan Ciwan neither confirmed nor denied this. Looking at the dark circles under Nie Xiayun's eyes, she knew that the old woman must be very tired, so she said, "I'm fine now, you can rest assured. Don't wait until I'm better and then you fall ill again."

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? Your grandma is as strong as an ox, there's no way I could fall ill!"

Yan Ciwan smiled gently. It was so good that Grandma was safe and sound.

She said, "I want to take a break."

Nie Xiayun helped her cover herself with the blanket: "Then you go to sleep, I'll stay here and watch over you."

Yan Ciwan looked at her helplessly.

Nie Xiayun had no choice but to stand up, knowing that her presence would disturb her granddaughter's rest. She said, "I'll be going now. You get some rest, and I'll come to visit you again later."

"I would like to trouble Xiao Liulang to see Grandma off for me."

Xiao Wang saw Nie Xiayun to the door, just then Chao Lu arrived. Nie Xiayun immediately took Chao Lu's hand and pleaded, "Please take care of Aci."

Chaolu smiled and replied, "Please rest assured, Madam. Aci is my best friend, and I will do my best to heal her injuries."

Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

"it is good."

After seeing Nie Xiayun off, Xiao Wang and Chaolu went into the room. They went to the bedside, and Chaolu first took Yan Ciwan's pulse to make sure that her pulse had stabilized before she was completely relieved.

"Aci, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Yan Ciwan said softly, "I'm still a little dizzy, and my wound hurts."

"Dizziness is normal. You lost too much blood. It's lucky you survived. You need to rest and recuperate for a while to replenish your blood and energy. Don't get into fights with anyone again."

Yan Ciwan agreed: "Okay."

Looking at her pale face, Chaolu sighed slowly: "You really scared us to death."

"Feel sorry."

Chao Lu said seriously, "Never take risks alone again in the future. Don't forget, you still have us as your friends. We can help you share the burden."

"Okay, I remember."

Chaolu said, "Aying and her mother are staying at my house temporarily. My mother is helping Aying's mother with her medical treatment. They learned that you escaped death and really wanted to come and visit you."

"No need. I'm afraid my current state will frighten them. Let them focus on getting treatment at your home. It's their good fortune to have met such a kind and highly skilled female doctor like your mother."

Chaolu smiled helplessly: "If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have met my mother. Meeting you is their good fortune."

Yan Ciwan thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the priests and attendants in Hengqing Temple?"

"They have all been rescued."

"Was there someone named Que Niang among them?" Chao Lu nodded: "Yes, there was such a person. She was almost killed, but fortunately, Uncle Jiu intervened in time to save her. Later, she also helped us lead the way, which allowed us to escape before Hengqing Temple collapsed. Uncle Jiu personally escorted her home."

Yan Ciwan's mood suddenly became much lighter.

Although the history of that other world cannot be changed, at least the Sparrow Girl of this world survived.

She glanced at the bright sky outside the window and suddenly asked, "Was I unconscious for a long time?"

"Three days and two nights."

"That has indeed been a long time," Yan Ciwan said softly, turning her gaze to the two people beside the bed. "I was able to save my life these past three days thanks to your care."

“We’re best friends, so isn’t it only right that I saved you? If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a nice meal at the best restaurant in Chang’an once you’ve recovered.”

Yan Ciwan sighed, "I also want to treat you to a meal, but unfortunately I'm short of money. I'm afraid I'll have to borrow some money from Xiao Liu to tide me over."

Xiao Wang said gently, "You can borrow as much as you want, no need to be polite with me."

Hearing this, Yan Ciwan laughed again. She said to Chaolu, "Since Xiao Liu is so generous, you don't need to be stingy. Just order whatever you want to eat."

Chaolu covered her mouth and laughed out loud: "Then it's settled."

Footsteps sounded outside the door. Xiao Wang went out to see what was happening and found his grandfather, father, elder brother, and sister-in-law. They knew that Yan Ciwan was seriously injured. In the past three days, in order to treat her injuries, the Xiao family not only took out all the precious medicinal herbs in their inventory, but Xiao Wenyi also shamelessly went to his friends to borrow medicinal herbs for emergency use. Now that they learned that Yan Ciwan had finally woken up, everyone in the Xiao family rushed over to visit her.

This was the first time Xiao Zemin had met Yan Ciwan.

Although Xiao Zemin was a strict and rigid man, he was quite kind to Yan Ciwan, after all, she was the benefactor who saved his son's life. He told Yan Ciwan to rest and recover, and that she could ask for anything she needed, and the Xiao family would do their best to take good care of her.

Xiao Wenyi was preoccupied with Xiao Wang's romantic situation. He had originally planned to have a serious talk with Ning Ci after she returned. If there was no ambiguity between her and the emperor, he could let Xiao Wang and Ning Ci continue their relationship without worry. However, if the emperor truly had feelings for her, he would have no choice but to force Xiao Wang to give up on the relationship.

However, Ning Ci had just woken up and her face was frighteningly pale, so she was not in a good state to have a deep conversation. Xiao Wenyi could only postpone the conversation, as it was most important for her to recover from her injuries.

The Xiao family showed great goodwill towards Yan Ciwan.

Yan Ciwan knew it was because she could cure Xiao Wang's poison, but a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Regardless of their motives, they had indeed helped her, and she was very grateful.

To avoid disturbing her recuperation, the Xiao family left after a short while.

Xiao Wang silently followed behind his elder brother. After leaving Changhong Residence, everyone parted ways and returned to their respective residences. However, Xiao Wang did not return to Weirui Tower. Instead, he waited until everyone had gone far away before returning to Changhong Residence alone.

When Yan Ciwan heard the knocking, she was not surprised at all.

She said softly, "Come in."

Xiao Wang pushed open the door and walked in. He came to the bedside and quietly looked into Yan Ciwan's eyes.

Yan Ciwan asked, "Can you help me sit up?"

Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and put one hand on Yan Ciwan's shoulder and the other on her back, carefully helping her to sit up slowly.

Seeing Yan Ciwan take a breath, he quickly asked, "Did you touch the wound?"

Yan Ciwan did not reply.

She silently leaned against Xiao Wang, pressing her cheek against his chest.

Xiao Wang froze.
