Nian'er's voice was heard outside the door.

"Cousin, the water is already boiling. Do you need some water now?"

When Song Yuntang heard the sound, he quickly pushed Xu Qingye away and slowed down his slightly heavy breathing.

"Yes, I'll be right there."

There was a smile in the man's eyes, and he showed no intention of loosening his hand around her waist.

Song Yuntang felt his cheeks getting hot, and he lowered his voice with a slight nasal sound and said, "Let me go, I have to go wash up."

Xu Qingye then let go of his hand and watched her escape from the room. He then took a deep breath and supported himself on his knees with his hands to relieve the desire rising in his body.

.

When Song Yuntang returned to the room, the man was already sitting at the table reading a book, and he had regained his calm demeanor.

When he got serious, he looked completely different from the way he was when he was about to eat her out.

She didn't bother him.

After a busy day, Song Yuntang was really tired. He wanted to read a little in the conversation notebook before going to bed, but after opening it, he fell asleep while leaning against the headboard before reading a few pages.

Xu Qingye put down the book, first put away Song Yuntang's notebook, then stuffed her back into the quilt before returning to the desk.

……

The next day, when Song Yuntang returned home, there was suddenly a woman in the house. She looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her name was Xia Ning. She was the female guard that Xu Qingye brought back from the Tang Mansion.

Xia Ning had a high ponytail and no makeup on her face. She was a little more sturdy than the average woman and was dressed very neatly.

Song Yuntang was stunned for a moment when he saw the person.

"This is?"

Xu Qingye looked at her.

"Her name is Xia Ning. I asked my teacher for her as a bodyguard. Xia Ning is quite skilled in martial arts. It will be safer for you to have her accompany you when you go out in the future."

Song Yuntang pursed his lips.

"Will Mr. Tang have any objections if you ask him for help?"

But when she thought about Xu Qingye asking Mr. Tang for help for her, she still felt a little warm in her heart.

But the old man was his teacher after all, and it didn't seem right for a student to ask his teacher for something.

Xu Qingye looked at her.

"Don't worry, since the teacher has given it to me, I won't have any objections."

Xia Ning came in front of Song Yuntang and bowed to her.

"Xia Ning greets the master!"

"Miss Xia Ning, there's no need to be so polite."

Song Yuntang looked at her and felt that her current outfit was too conspicuous among ordinary women.

So, the next morning, she asked Shunzi next door to go to the clinic first to take a message, and she would go later, and then she took Xia Ning and Nian'er to the clothing store.

I bought two sets of ordinary women's clothes and two pairs of shoes for Xia Ning to change into, and also bought a set of clothes and a pair of shoes for Nian'er.

In order to avoid being too plain, she also bought a few simple and exquisite pearl flowers for the two of them.

After buying the things, the three of them went back home first. Song Yuntang asked Xia Ning to change into women's clothes, trimmed her eyebrows, tied her hair into a simple and neat bun, and pinned a simple hair accessory on the bun.

The woman in the mirror has changed a lot. Although she looks ordinary, she is still pretty.

"Xia Ning, are you married?"

A normal woman should be married by the age of 25, right?

Although Xia Ning may get married later because of his special status.

There was a slight fluctuation in Xia Ning's eyes.

"We got married."

Song Yuntang was curious.

"What about your husband?"

"He's dead." Xia Ning said calmly, "We didn't have a wedding banquet. We both kowtowed to our former master and moved in together as husband and wife. Four years ago, he went out on a mission and never came back."

Song Yuntang frowned and asked cautiously, "Do you have any children?"

Xia Ning shook his head.

"I was pregnant, but after learning of his death, I lost the baby."

Her only regret in her life, and also her biggest regret, was that she was unable to keep the child for Afeng.

But she had only just become pregnant at that time and had no idea she was pregnant. When she heard the news of Afeng's death, she became very emotional and eventually had a miscarriage.

Nian'er remained silent, but felt pity for this older sister named Xia Ning in her heart.

This experience was truly even worse than being forced to escape from her home.

After a pause, Song Yuntang asked again, "Do you have any other family members?"

Xia Ning lowered his eyes.

"I am an orphan."

Song Yuntang's expression softened.

"As long as you don't betray me, we will be your family from now on. I don't have so many rules here. After all, as long as I have something to eat, you won't starve."

Xia Ning nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After so many years, she has long accepted her own life experience.

Although she was an orphan, her former master had never lacked food and clothing since she was taken in by him when she was five or six years old. She just had to endure some hardships during her daily training.

But how can a person enjoy himself without suffering?

Compared to those orphans who were unable to get enough food and eventually starved to death.

She is already very lucky.

After changing Xia Ning's clothes, Song Yuntang took her and Nian'er to the clinic.

Perhaps because he rarely wore women's clothes in the past, Xia Ning was a little uncomfortable for a while. He kept pulling at his clothes with an awkward look on his face, which made Nian'er next to him cover her mouth and laugh.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the clinic, Shunzi ran out quickly.

"Master, Madam Qin and Young Master Qin are here and waiting in the ward."

Song Yuntang nodded, "I'll go right away."

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and entered the clinic. After taking off her cloak and handing it to Nian'er beside her, she picked up the medical records on the shelf beside the table and flipped through them. Then she took the silver needles from the table and went to the backyard.

The movements are done in one go.

Xia Ning saw this and felt that Song Yuntang was in two different states after entering the clinic than she was in real life.

In her daily life, she still has some shadow of a little girl.

As soon as she arrived at the clinic, she became a rigorous and steady female doctor.

She is not even seventeen years old, but she has such extraordinary medical skills. No one knows how she did it and who her teacher is.

After about half a month of treatment, Qin Jingping's originally pale complexion improved slightly, and his sore waist and knees regained some strength.

In the past, I needed someone to support me when walking, but now I can walk a distance independently.

Yang Jiaojiao saw the changes in her son and was extremely happy.

I have been looking for a doctor for my son for so many years, but this is the first time I have received such results.

I became more and more grateful to Song Yuntang.

……

As the weather gets colder, there are more beggars in the county town.

People who died of freezing, starvation, and disease gradually appeared on the streets. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the government stepped in and organized the displaced refugees into an abandoned yard on the outskirts of the city.

After settling these refugees, they had to be provided with bedding, clothes, food and medicine.

It would take some time for the national treasury to allocate money and grain, so Lord Zhu ordered Master Qin to encourage merchants in the county to make donations to alleviate the county's current difficulties.
