Chapter 194 Going to the Gutter
"Yes"
"Master, there's no rush," Yan Xiao could only agree.
The divine healer is the first person to make her master wait for her in a blizzard. She is unprecedented and will never be repeated. Even the emperor doesn't have such a big face to make his master wait for so long.
Although she is the legitimate daughter of a general's family, her airs are a bit too much.
His master was busy with official duties and didn't have time to waste with her.
Even Yan Xiao, who usually felt grateful and respectful towards Xue Ruanruan, couldn't help but complain at this moment.
Unable to resist any longer, Yan Xiao winked at Yue Yin beside him, then leaped up and flew towards the big tree at the entrance of the courtyard.
He wanted to see how long the divine healer could keep his master waiting.
"Here it comes, finally."
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xiao watched as a dark shadow slowly approached in the distance, and could faintly hear the clear sound of the bells on the donkey's neck.
Yan Xiao breathed a huge sigh of relief. If the divine doctor hadn't come soon, he would have had to go to the General's Mansion to ask her for help.
Murong Xun's dark eyes shifted slightly, a perfect smile curving his lips, a hint of amusement creeping into his deep, dark eyes.
"Divine Doctor, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come soon, I would have gone to the General's Mansion to look for you."
Yan Xiao leaped down from the tall tree trunk and ran towards the approaching shadowy figure.
"Sorry, I was delayed on the way."
On the cold winter night, Xue Ruanruan was so hot that fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The snow on the road was much thicker than it had been a few days ago, making it difficult to walk. She was even carried by Mao Mao into a ditch and fell hard.
Her fair, oval face was stained with smudges, her straight nose was flushed, her alluring eyes were filled with a layer of water, and her bright red cloak was full of wrinkles and mud, making her look quite disheveled.
"What is this, young lady, the divine healer...?"
Yan Xiao then realized something was wrong. Looking at the disheveled Xue Ruanruan, he looked up at his master and saw a trace of pity in his eyes.
Although it was fleeting, he still managed to capture it.
He grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said that his master treated the divine healer girl differently.
Perhaps this was the mistress of their royal mansion, and Yan Xiao dared not act presumptuously again, becoming even more respectful towards Xue Ruanruan.
"It was dark and the road was slippery, so I slipped and fell into a ditch."
Xue Ruanruan's face stiffened. She was unwilling to talk about the embarrassing incident, but Guard Yan insisted on asking. Didn't she have any pride?
"Pfft"
Yan Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but look up at Murong Xun, only to see a smile flash in his dark eyes, a smile so obvious that it was hard to ignore.
Xue Ruanruan was slightly angry. Sure enough, even the most calm and composed man had no sympathy.
Seeing the woman's clearly angry expression, Murong Xun suppressed the upturn of his lips, pretended to cough a few times, and gradually regained his composure.
"Miss Xue, you must be tired from your journey. Is the cargo ready?"
Yueyin and Uncle Zhang had been urging for the goods to be supplied as soon as possible, and when they learned that Miss Xue had offered to increase the supply, they were even happier than he was.
Although Uncle Zhang no longer needs to come and inspect the goods in person, he still insisted on coming along, and no one could stop him.
"It's ready, it's already in the cellar."
When it came to serious business, Xue Ruanruan looked serious and led everyone into the cellar entrance of the thatched hut.
Murong Xun had Yan Xiao and Yue Yin remove the straw covering the grain, and was immediately stunned to see that the grain was overflowing.
