The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 298

The cook nodded and said, "The young master of the Langya Wang family used to be difficult to get along with, but now he's even learning to cook."

Butler Chen glared at him, then smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your help here."

The cook responded and then started steaming the pastry.

The moonlight was like water in the middle of the night, and the night breeze was cool. For some reason, Wang Chuanyu suddenly wanted to open the window and hold the pastries in his hand.

Standing alone by the window, he discovered a figure standing in the garden. The figure was so thin that he would never have noticed it if he hadn't had such good eyesight.

Wang Chuanyu thought for a moment and then came out, only to find that the person standing in the garden was actually Jing Sheng.

Wang Chuanyu immediately said anxiously, "I just came out for a walk to clear my head. I never thought you would be here. I heard you were feeling better a few days ago. The night air is a bit chilly, so you should go inside and rest."

Jing Sheng just smiled at him and said, "I know my own body well. I don't know why I just want to stand here today."

When Jing Sheng saw the pastries in Wang Chuanyu's hand, she immediately asked, "Did I make these pastries for me?"

She took a bite, but unexpectedly felt dizzy and fell backward. Wang Chuanyu immediately helped her sit on a wooden chair next to the flower bed.

Jing Sheng fixed her gaze on the young master from the noble family in front of her and suddenly smiled mischievously.

"Young master, do you feel guilty towards me because you ate my pastries? I was just getting better a few days ago, but I didn't expect to recover so quickly. It's really so boring."

Wang Chuanyu revealed his tiger teeth, then smiled and said, "If you feel bored, I will come to find you after class every day. There are many strange and wonderful things in Langya. I will tell you some every day. If you feel unwell, I will immediately stop and call a doctor to see you."

Jing Sheng was also surprised: "How did you know I would appear in this garden tonight?"

Wang Chuanyu gave a shy smile and said, "My family is very strict. When I'm bored, there's no one to talk to. The servants all listen to my mother, so I stay here alone to enjoy the scenery and admire the moon."

Jing Sheng nodded as she listened, then suddenly started coughing. At that moment, Butler Chen walked over.

"Young Master, you should go back inside. If you stay here, you might disturb Miss Jing's rest."

The implication was that his son was of noble birth, and if people saw him sitting in the garden with a woman late at night, they would surely gossip.

Jing Sheng simply stood up and said, "Go quickly."

I'm watching you from here.

Wang Chuanyu was somewhat worried, but he still nodded and left first. At this moment, Jing Sheng saw Wang Chuanyu return to her room. As soon as she turned around, everything went black before her eyes, and she collapsed with a thud.

Just as he collapsed, he heard a voice beside him, "Young Master, why are you meddling in this? Miss Jing's health is so poor that even the most renowned doctors from Langya cannot save her."

“I remember when I came here, my mother brought me a fox fur coat from an extremely cold region. I’ve kept it at the bottom of my trunk ever since, never used it, and no one knows about it. Please bring me this fox fur coat.”

“I’ve become familiar with Hongwen Academy these days, Master Xu. There’s a clean flower hall not far from the Zhuangyuan Building. Let’s leave Miss Jingsheng there for now!”
