The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 845 - 429: Song Yanqing Replenishes His Body (Fourth Update)
"Father!" Xie Ruotong was clearly displeased.
"Did you two share a room?" Xie Kangheng was straightforward, not wanting to beat around the bush.
After all, Xie Ruotong was already twenty-six, and in the Daxuan Kingdom, one could marry at sixteen. At her age, it was almost impossible for her to find another husband.
"It was an accident, I just said that." Xie Ruotong explained, somewhat irritated.
"So, you did share a room." Xie Kangheng concluded.
"Even if we did, so what? I will never be with Song Yanqing again. How many times do I have to say it, I absolutely refuse!" Xie Ruotong rejected firmly.
Song Yanqing just stood there silently, listening.
Maybe today, when Xie Ruotong sent him away, he would never see her again?!
"Ruotong, calm down." Under Xie Ruotong’s assertiveness, Xie Kangheng eventually softened.
"I won’t calm down. This issue doesn’t need calmness or consideration." Xie Ruotong said decisively, then ordered her guard, "Send him off!"
Xie Kangheng glanced at Song Yanqing.
He knew that Xie Ruotong was very resistant to the idea of marriage, and forcing her anymore would only backfire.
So he didn’t try to stop them.
Song Yanqing was rudely pushed into the carriage.
He didn’t even get another look at Xie Ruotong before being quickly whisked away by her guard.
"Father, what exactly are you looking for me today?" Xie Ruotong suppressed her inner agitation and asked calmly.
"I came to ask you about your matchmaking, but it seems there’s no need to ask further."
"I will not marry again, so you don’t need to worry, father," Xie Ruotong said straightforwardly, "Tomorrow I will request the Emperor to let me go to the border. Please take care of your health, father!"
With that said,
Xie Ruotong didn’t linger and walked directly into the General Mansion.
Xie Kangheng was thus left outside by his daughter.
He wasn’t angry either.
Now he thought more about how to ensure Xie Ruotong married rather than going to the border for garrison duty tomorrow.
He quickly climbed into the carriage and instructed the coachman, "To the Song Residence, quickly!"
The coachman drove the carriage, chasing after Song Yanqing.
Luckily, Song Yanqing couldn’t handle the bumps due to his physical condition and asked Xie Ruotong’s guard to slow down, allowing Xie Kangheng to catch up quickly.
"You go back; I will take Song Yanqing!" Xie Kangheng ordered.
The guard dared not disobey the general’s father and handed Song Yanqing over to Xie Kangheng.
It was with great difficulty that Song Yanqing was assisted by Xie Kangheng’s servant into the carriage.
As soon as he sat down, Xie Kangheng asked him a pointed question, "Do you still want to marry Ruotong?"
Song Yanqing was stunned.
"Just tell me, if you marry Ruotong, will you stop hurting her like before?! Will you treat her well again and not let her suffer any grievances?"
Song Yanqing started, his face dim, "She won’t agree to marry me, and you can’t force her."
"I just need one answer from you; can you or can’t you?!" Xie Kangheng questioned.
"If I could marry her again, I would pour my heart into loving her and never let her suffer," Song Yanqing swore.
"Good," Xie Kangheng said, "Go back and wait for news."
"Father-in-law... Lord Duke," Song Yanqing corrected himself.
"Stop changing it, just call me Father-in-law."
"Yes," Song Yanqing felt a ripple in his heart.
Although he knew Xie Kangheng was helping him mainly because he wanted Xie Ruotong to settle down and not stay at the border all year round,
Being recognized by Xie Ruotong’s father still felt like an honor.
"Father-in-law, I’m worried that if you force Xie Ruotong like this, she might hate you. It’ll worsen the relationship between you and her," Song Yanqing understood well that since Xie Ruotong’s grandmother passed away, she became distant from the Xie Family.
"Don’t worry, I have my plan," Xie Kangheng confidently replied.
Song Yanqing said no more.
Inside, he harbored a slight hope.
Song Yanqing was sent back to the Song Residence by Xie Kangheng.
It was already dark by then.
Although he hadn’t eaten all day, Song Yanqing just wanted to sleep at this moment.
Xie Ruotong’s energy... is truly remarkable.
Indeed, people trained in martial arts are different.
He remembered that the Xie Ruotong in the past wasn’t like this.
Song Yanqing’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
His body was pushed to the limits, yet thinking back on the day’s events, his heart still surged with blood.
He took a deep breath, trying not to reminisce.
Right now, his body needed more rest.
"Mu Dong," Song Yanqing called as he entered his room, "Prepare a bath."
"Yes. But, Young Master, the lady has been waiting for you all day and said you should visit her first when you return. Do you plan to go?" Mu Dong respectfully asked.
"Tomorrow," Song Yanqing replied.
"Yes."
Mu Dong ordered the servants to fetch water.
Then helped the young master change clothes.
As soon as Song Yanqing undressed,
Mu Dong was taken aback.
"Young Master?!" The injuries from the fight yesterday were clearly not this severe.
Just what happened today when the young master rushed out alone?!
But judging by the young master’s expression, there wasn’t a trace of discomfort, but rather a slight smile?
Did he get possessed?!
"Mu Dong." Song Yanqing didn’t explain to Mu Dong, and while lying in the wooden tub, said casually, "From now on, instruct the kitchen to prepare more tonics for me."
"Hmm?" Mu Dong was puzzled.
Knowing that the lady had always asked the kitchen to prepare tonics for the young master, considering his physical weakness. Yet the young master always refused and never drank a sip. Today, did he really get possessed, as he unexpectedly requested to drink tonic?
Not daring to question further, Mu Dong quickly agreed, "Yes, I will give the instructions right away. Starting tomorrow, it’ll be ready for the young master."
"What did my mother write as the purpose of the tonics she sent before?" Song Yanqing asked again.
"All for body nourishment. The lady said the young master’s health is poor, so she provides high-end nutrients that are supposed to help him gain some weight and lessen illness," Mu Dong replied.
"Hmm," Song Yanqing acknowledged, saying nothing more.
Mu Dong diligently cleaned the young master’s body.
After the bath,
Mu Dong helped the young master onto the bed.
He only left after laying him down, intending to give the kitchen the young master’s instructions.
Just as he turned,
"For virility," Song Yanqing suddenly said.
Mu Dong paused, confused, "Young Master, what did you say?"
"I said, in the daily tonics, add some herbs for virility," Song Yanqing coldly instructed.
Pretending to be shocked, but in reality, feeling quite awkward.
Mu Dong quickly realized and respectfully responded, "Yes, I was slow-witted and didn’t understand. I will arrange that straight away."
Thinking that the young master would soon marry,
It made sense to supplement his strength.
Given the young master’s current state, perhaps even getting into bed might keep him from getting out.
Mu Dong left.
Song Yanqing lay quietly on the bed,
Exhausted to the extreme,
Closing his eyes, his mind was filled with the vivid scenes of entanglement with Xie Ruotong today, though a bit rough, they were undoubtedly enticing...
