Chapter 295
The sound of the car rumbled as it quickly drove away from the manor. Madam Zhao looked at her son with an uncontrollable smile on her lips.
Zhao Qi didn't even look at her, his eyes were fixed on Sang Wan's pale face on the bed, focused and worried.
"Why is her face so pale? Why hasn't she woken up yet? "Zhao Qi asked.
Madam Zhao was startled, then hurriedly replied: "She was frightened and injured, so she has been sleeping most of the time these days. This is good, she won't have to endure more bumps on the road. Don't worry, her life is not in danger, she will definitely recover after a good rest. "
Zhao Qi didn't say anything else, just focused on Sang Wan.
When Sang Wan woke up, she opened her eyes and found that she was in a different environment. This was a very spacious and bright room, the furnishings were very exquisite, just like the boudoir of a rich young lady. The furniture was inlaid with red lacquer, and all the curtains were light purple, embroidered with gold silk, light and soft, matched with the furnishings in the room, luxurious and elegant.
"Yuanyang! Yuanyang! "Sang Wan sat up from the bed, rubbing her somewhat dizzy head. Perhaps it was because she had been on the boat for a long time, but when she suddenly left, her head was very dizzy. The only one she was familiar with and could summon was Yuanyang, so in this unfamiliar environment, she naturally called out to her.
"You're awake!" What answered her was a gentle and pleasant male voice.
Sang Wan couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously tightened the thin quilt on her body. Looking down, she saw that she was neatly dressed in a robe, and secretly sighed in relief.
"You are — —" Sang Wan was a little surprised and doubtful.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The man came to her bed and looked at her with a gentle smile, his gentle smile made people couldn't help but let down their guard.
Sang Wan could see that this person really didn't mean any harm, but — —
"Young Master — — why are you here?"
Zhao Qi smiled: "My name is Zhao Qi, you can call me by my name. Your name is Wan Niang, right? Just now, the imperial physician has already taken a look at you and said that your body is fine. You will recover after resting for a while. You can rest well in our residence. If you have any needs, there is no harm in asking. "
"You're Madam Zhao's son?" Sang Wan finally understood.
Zhao Qi was slightly taken aback, but he nodded and said, "Yes."
"Young Master Zhao!" Sang Wan nodded at him.
"You don't have to be so courteous. You haven't fully recovered yet. Don't tire yourself out!" Zhao Qi's eyes lit up when he saw her greeting him, and his smile became even brighter.
"I wonder where Yuanyang went? Young Master Zhao, is there anything else? "Sang Wan saw that he had no intention of leaving, and she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Madam Zhao's son appeared in her room. No matter how one looked at it, it was strange. But now that she was living under someone else's roof, Sang Wan couldn't say anything.
Zhao Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yuanyang is outside. I'll call her over! Then I'll go out first and won't disturb your rest. By the way, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? From your accent, you seem to be from Jiangnan. I'll ask someone to make you Hangzhou cuisine, okay? "
"Thank you, Young Master Zhao. I don't have any preferences. You don't have to do this!" Sang Wan became more and more uneasy.
"Then it's settled. I'll go first." Zhao Qi looked at her a few more times before leaving with a smile.
"Miss, you're awake!" After a while, Yuanyang came in with a smile. When she saw Sang Wan leaning to get out of bed, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Miss, be careful! You're weak. Why don't you lie down for a while? "
"I want to get up and have a look!" Sang Wan insisted. The people in this residence were all strange. If someone rushed in without caring about anything, she didn't know how to deal with it.
Sang Wan gave Yuanyang a warm and gentle feeling. She had never insisted on her own opinions. Since she had said so, Yuanyang couldn't do anything about it and could only comply with her.
Sang Wan held onto Yuanyang's arm and walked to the window. She pushed open the colourful glass lattice window and looked out. She saw a lush and verdant landscape with pavilions and pavilions. Below, there was a rock garden with golden chrysanthemums swaying in the wind. Not far away, there was a trickling stream that converged into a pool. Under the sunlight, the stream and the pool were like silver satin.
"We've already reached the capital. This is Wu Wei Manor right?" Sang Wan asked softly.
"Yes." Yuanyang nodded and smiled, "Old Marquis has passed away long ago. Now there's only Madam and Young Marquis in the residence. The one who came in to see you was our Young Marquis. "
After Yuanyang finished, she secretly looked at Sang Wan's expression.
Sang Wan turned a deaf ear to it. She didn't even make a sound of "Oh". It was obvious that she had no interest in Young Marquis. Instead, she pointed to the north west direction with interest and asked with a smile, "I see that there's a golden lustre over there. Are those Osmanthus flowers?"
Yuanyang could only nod her head and smile, "Yes, that's the Osmanthus forest. There are ten over Osmanthus trees planted there! Our capital is different from the south. At this time, the Osmanthus flowers in the south have already bloomed. Here, they are blooming nicely! Does Young Lady want to go over and take a look? "
"En? These few days, I've been feeling drowsy. I was just thinking of going out for a walk! "Sang Wan smiled.
She stared blankly at the golden lustre of the Osmanthus trees and her heart was at a loss. She recalled that before the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month in Qingzhou, Shi Fengju had accompanied her to pick Osmanthus flowers to put in a vase. She would occasionally mention that she liked the fragrance. The next day, he got an Osmanthus scented Western perfume from somewhere and gave it to her. He even said that he would get someone to pick Osmanthus flowers to make a perfume pouch for her.
He was really, really good to her, so good that she almost didn't want to think about it, didn't want to think about it, but at this moment, every bit of him uncontrollably appeared in her mind.
She then knew that he had already existed so deeply in her heart. It was so deep that she didn't need to deliberately think about it and it would naturally reveal itself.
Fengju, is he still in the capital now? Does he know that she is currently in Wuwei Manor, thinking about him and thinking about him!
"Young Miss, do you still want to go?" Yuanyang saw her staring blankly at the other side and asked softly.
"Let's go!" Sang Wan regained her senses and nodded her head.
The two went downstairs.
Yuanyang supported her as they slowly walked towards the Osmanthus forest. As they walked, she introduced the scenery of the garden to her. Sang Wan wasn't paying attention but she still listened attentively, hoping to find a way out. Her intuition told her that Old Mistress Zhao wouldn't let her leave so easily. Otherwise, she wouldn't have not said anything about it for so long. The most she talked about was "wait till we return to the capital" and so on. As for her memory loss, she never mentioned anything about treating her.
And recently, the Young Marquis named Zhao Qi had appeared in her room for no reason. Sang Wan wasn't stupid and although she didn't dare to guess, she knew that it wasn't anything good!
As they gradually got closer, the fragrance of the Osmanthus flowers was strong. It came with the wind and lingered around her body, refreshing her mind.
"This Osmanthus flower doesn't look very eye-catching, but the fragrance is very nice. If Young Miss likes it, then this servant will get someone to pick a few and put them in a vase, okay?" Yuanyang smiled.
Sang Wan shook her head and said with a smile, "There's no need! How can the flowers and plants in Old Mistress's garden be so easily spoiled? "
Yuanyang hurriedly smiled and said, "Young Miss doesn't need to be so careful. Old Mistress has already instructed the housekeeper to pass down the message that no one in this house is allowed to disobey Young Miss. Young Miss can do whatever you want. No one is allowed to say a word of no, and no one is allowed to make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you will be punished according to the family rules!" After a pause, she continued, "Our Old Mistress really treats Young Miss well!"
Sang Wan saw that Yuanyang had been probing Sang Wan many times in the past few days. If Sang Wan did not respond, Sang Wan knew that Yuanyang would eventually reveal the truth. Thus, Sang Wan smiled at Yuanyang with some doubt, "I'm just wondering why Old Mistress treats me so well even though we've only met by chance."
Yuanyang smiled and said, "This is Young Miss' good fortune! Our Old Mistress is a straightforward person. Her likes and dislikes are written all over her face. She really likes Young Miss! Young Miss, please accept this good fortune! Hehe, I'm afraid that in the future, you will have even greater good fortune! "
Sang Wan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She looked at Yuanyang with an even more doubtful gaze and said tentatively, "But I can't remember anything. I'm afraid that my family will be worried. Although I can't remember, I still have some worries in my heart!"
When Yuanyang heard this, she wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
Sang Wan's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She only said anxiously, "Yuanyang, do you know something? Quickly tell me! My heart feels uneasy for no reason! "
"This servant, this servant — —" Yuanyang was in a difficult position.
Sang Wan said, "It's fine if you don't say it. I'll go ask Old Mistress Zhao! If there is something, I'm sure Old Mistress won't hide it from me! "
"Young Miss!" Yuanyang hurriedly pulled her and sighed, "Young Miss, this servant said that Young Miss must hold on. Don't be sad! Your body is still very weak! "
Seeing Sang Wan nod, Yuanyang then continued, "Young Miss, what you said is right. Our Old Mistress has already sent people to find out about this matter. That day when Young Miss was on the ferry with your parents, Young Miss's parents had already died in the river. In this world, Young Miss no longer has any relatives! "
Sang Wan's face turned pale as she stared blankly at Yuanyang.
Yuanyang couldn't bear it and sighed as she told Sang Wan the details of the matter. Sang Wan remained silent, but her heart was secretly shocked. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that Old Mistress Zhao would come up with such a big lie to deceive her. Yuanyang spoke so skillfully and flawlessly. It was obvious that Old Mistress Zhao had already planned for this matter! This really was — —
Sang Wan's heart suddenly felt cold and her hair stood on end. Her knees went soft and she fell to the ground.
"Young Miss!" Yuanyang hurriedly used her strength to help her up and said gently, "Young Miss, don't be impatient. Since things have come to this, Young Miss should be able to accept it! Don't worry, Old Mistress and Young Miss are fated. She won't ignore this matter. Old Mistress has already ordered for Young Miss's parents to be buried. This place is very far from Young Miss's hometown, Huai 'an. It's already late autumn. How can Young Miss's body withstand such a long journey? It's better for Young Miss to rest here and recover before making any plans! When the weather improves next year and Young Miss has recovered, Old Mistress will definitely send someone to send Young Miss back to show her filial piety! "
