Chapter 124: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (22)
Shu Nuan handed the ointment to Wen Zhigu, pointing to her hand.
“Put some medicine on. It will get better soon.”
Wen Zhigu paused for a moment, and then looked at her recent injuries. She whispered, “Its nothing.”
The tone seemed to imply that it was useless to apply the medicine, since there would be more injuries anyway.
Shu Nuan didn’t know what to say, but she still opened the ointment bottle and insisted on helping.
From beginning to end, Wen Zhigu didn’t say a word, only watching Shu Nuan’s hands rubbing the ointment. Her lips moved all the while, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t.
Fortunately, their seats were near the window, and the students absorbed in their studies did not notice them.
After school, as soon as Shu Nuan left the class, Qi Yue blocked her path, gazing behind her.
“Why didn’t your seatmate Wen Zhigu come out with you?”
Wen Zhigu hadn’t come out with her, for she’d told Nuan that she had something to do after school. Shu Nuan guessed that Ju Xubai had called her alone.
It was natural that Shu Yuan did not say anything regarding that to Qi Yue.
“She has something to do. What’s the matter?”
“Oh.” Qi Yue was a little uncomfortable. “What about that. Isn’t Su Hai going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow? Are you coming with us?”
Shu Nuan nodded.
Qi Yue coughed again.
“What about your seatmate? Can you ask Wen Zhigu? Everyone will be there, and it’ll be lively.”
A soft frown formed on Shu Nuan’s face.
“For what? You aren’t even familiar with her…”
“Ah, you aren’t aware! Do you think you’re the only famous one among the ones who got into Class One? Wen Zhigu is so famous! After I leave, I can tell the Class Nine students that I know two Class One people! Shu Nuan, if you invite her, I will thank you for the rest of my life!”
“I don’t need your thanks.”
“Master Shu Nuan!”
“…”
Shu Nuan curved her lips for a moment and said, “I’ll try, but she doesn’t have time to play.”
Hearing her words, Qi Yue turned even more delighted.
“No problem. Try as much as you can, I will thank you for life anyway!”
Shu Nuan walked away, ungrateful for Qi Yue’s excitement.
She now worked in a pastry workshop as an apprentice. She had never done this before. When she’d started to work, the owner’s wife had taught her how to make sweet potato yam cakes. Owing it to her good memory, she’d soon succeeded.
The owner’s wife had seen her ingenuity. She even looked beautiful, and most importantly, she was a student at the Yulin Academy. The madam was delighted to hire her.
The reason she’d quit her job at the Moon Pavilion wasn’t what Wen Zhigu had said. She simply didn’t want to have anything to do with Sheng Qianmo.
She knew Sheng Qianmo had strong connections, so at first, she’d tried to reach his side in her desperation. But when she had, she had casually been pushed into the abyss of despair.
She was afraid of death. She admitted this.
It scared her that if she was careless, a powerful person would come gift her poisoned wine. Even if she did nothing wrong, she would be charged with a crime and sentenced to death.
The person she couldn’t afford to provoke was far away, so it would always be safe.
This day, the owner’s wife was in a good mood, and she had made a few snacks to be displayed.
Shu Nuan was making Osmanthus cake in the kitchen, when the owner’s wife came in and said, “Shu Nuan, send two orders of sweet potato yam cakes to the Su family. It seems that the Su family’s child is being a glutton again.”
