Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Head in the Water

Jiang Ning said with a smile, “Don’t talk like that. Although patients should eat light meals, I think you’re almost well. If you continue to eat such simple food, I’m afraid it’s hard to recover properly. You should supplement more protein.”

Gufeng curiously asked, “Seventh Miss, what is protein?”

“Protein, meat.”

“Doctor said that during the healing, one should avoid greasy and fishy food.”

“That’s why people here tend to linger on sickbeds when they’re injured or sick, and can’t recover in time.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Now that I see you’re well, I can feel at ease. Xiachu, give me the things.”

Xiachu hurriedly took out a stack of silver bills and placed them on the table.

Gufeng looked puzzled.

Jiang Ning said, “I heard that because of me, not only were you punished, but all other Shadow Guards were fined as well, so take this money and give it to them.”

Guying was a little flustered, “Seventh Miss, it’s our rules, you don’t have to… ”

“I won’t break your rules, but this was caused by me. You guys have always been loyal and devoted in helping me, so I can’t let you down. If you don’t accept my apology, I won’t be able to ask for your help in the future.”

With no other choice, Guying accepted the money.

Jiang Ning was finally satisfied. She then asked Guying to pull up his trouser leg to show her the wound.

Gufeng’s face turned red as he hesitantly pulled up his trousers a little bit.

Jiang Ning wanted to take a closer look, but he panicked like a frightened little rabbit and jumped away, “Seventh Miss, don’t…don’t look…it’s all healed.”

Xiachu laughed out loud, “Guying, you were really born in the wrong body.”

Gufeng’s face turned even redder, stammering, “Men and women should not touch each other. Seventh Miss is a noble lady, how can you look at my body?”

Jiang Ning teased him, “Didn’t you say men and women are the same?”

“I meant that I can work as a man or a woman, but ladies are indeed more delicate than men.”

“So, if we compare Xiachu and Third Brother, who is more delicate?”

Now it was Xiachu’s turn to blush, “Ah, Master, how can you compare a servant like me with Third Master… ”

To her surprise, Gufeng didn’t hesitate to say, “Xiachu is more delicate.”

Xiachu was stunned, and then thought that Gufeng’s mind was abnormal.

He must have let water in his head in the Water Prison, and turned stupid because of it.

Jiang Ning laughed, “Guying, you’re quite rare.”

In this era, a man who could treat a maidservant more precious than a noble young master was definitely rare.

Looking at Xiachu’s expression, it was obvious that even she didn’t agree with Guying’s words.

Jiang Ning stood up and said, “Guying, take good care of yourself.”

“Seventh Miss, are you leaving now?” Guying immediately followed her and stood up, his eyes full of reluctance.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “As you know, I can’t leave the palace anytime I want. Today, I took advantage of Sixth Miss’s wedding to come out for a while. It’s getting late, and if I return to the palace too late, it will inevitably bring more gossip.”

Guying immediately said, “Who dares to gossip about Seventh Miss, I’ll kill them all for you.”

Jiang Ning laughed and said, “Let them gossip, as long as we can’t hear it, just ignore them.”

As she turned and walked away, Guying followed her outside.

When she had walked some distance away and looked back, she noticed that Guying was still standing at the door, looking pitiful and thin.

This immediately filled Jiang Ning with a sense of guilt.

As if she had abandoned him.
