Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 229 Ability

Soon, the shop owner brought three bowls of noodles. The three of them ate while chatting. After eating, Song Ying and the other two said goodbye and left.

When we were almost at East Street, we heard someone suddenly ask in surprise, "Isn't this Miss Song? Where are you going?"

The voice was unfamiliar, and Song Ying thought it was someone else's call. He didn't even turn his head and continued to concentrate on his journey.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, she heard someone calling her: "Sister Song Ying! Sister Song Ying!"

She was stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Yuan Qing and Shen Jing each holding a pile of books, looking at them curiously.

"What a coincidence!" Song Ying was delighted and looked at the books they were holding. "Are you out buying books again?"

Lin Wenxuan also saw the two people and asked softly, "Do you know them?"

Song Ying nodded and walked towards the two of them.

Seeing the two people coming over, Yuan Qing and Shen Jing noticed Lin Wenxuan. Before they got closer, Shen Jing asked, "Who is this?"

"This is my senior brother Lin Wenxuan."

Song Ying briefly introduced them. She pointed at Yuan Qing and said to Lin Wenxuan, "This is my fellow countryman Yuan Qing, and the one next to him is his classmate Shen Jing."

Lin Wenxuan nodded at the two of them.

Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't your master Doctor Lin from the Shen Mansion? How come he is a fellow apprentice of Doctor Xiao Lin from Huichun Hall?"

At this point, he seemed to be thinking: Doctor Lin and Doctor Lin, both have the surname Lin, are they from the same family?

"You know me?" Lin Wenxuan was surprised. He stared at Yuan Qing's face seriously and tried hard to search his memory. However, he saw too many people in the clinic every day and had no impression of Yuan Qing at all.

Yuan Qing smiled and said, "I am from Wutong Village. I once accompanied my grandmother to Huichuntang for medical treatment."

Lin Wenxuan suddenly realized.

Song Ying also remembered that people from several nearby villages liked to go to Huichuntang for medical treatment, and Lin Wenxuan must have accompanied his family there, so naturally they had seen Lin Wenxuan.

She regretted her negligence and answered Yuan Qing's question: "My master is Doctor Ma's senior sister, so we are from the same school."

Shen Jing suppressed his curiosity, and after the introductions were completed, he immediately asked, "Where are you going? If you're not busy, why don't we find a teahouse and sit down and chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Qing poked him hard with his elbow, "Why go to a teahouse? If you want to talk, there is no place like that."

Shen Jing then realized that he had said the wrong thing. Song Ying was a girl, and going to a teahouse with two boys like them would be frowned upon if people saw them.

"Sister Song, that's not what I meant. I'm just too curious about what happened that day."

Song Ying waved his hand, "I know."

After the fire, she only met Yuan Qing and Shen Jing briefly in Ninghui Hall and had no chance to thank them for saving her life.

In fact, she had always wanted to have a good talk with them and ask them one by one if they saw anything when they rescued her.

"Then let's find some other place to talk?" Shen Jing suggested happily.

Song Ying nodded and was about to agree.

He nodded halfway when he glanced at Lin Wenxuan beside him and hesitated again. It seemed that his master would not tell him about the affairs of the Shen Mansion, and did not like him to get involved in the affairs of the Shen Mansion.

If my senior brother didn't know about the fire in Shen Mansion, wouldn't I have revealed it to him as soon as I thanked Yuan Qing and the others?

So many people knew about the fire at Shen Mansion that day, so it shouldn’t be a big deal if my senior brother knows about it, right?

But outside, it seems that no one has ever heard of the fire in the Shen Mansion. Could it be that the mansion has suppressed all the news?

Before this, Song Ying's mind was focused on giving acupuncture to the patient and he hadn't thought too much about it. Only now did he realize that something was wrong.

How come people outside didn't talk about such a big thing that day? And some patients knew that she lived in Shen's house, but they never gossiped about it with her.

How is this going?

Song Ying made a decision immediately after thinking about this. "Brother, I'll go talk to them over there. You go first. I'll go back to the clinic by myself later."

Lin Wenxuan was stunned. He never expected her to say that.

He looked at Song Ying for a long time, then looked at Yuan Qing and Shen Jing, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, you guys go ahead, don't talk too long, we haven't written any pulse cases today."

Song Ying agreed and pointed to a narrow alley nearby, "There's no one over there, let's go talk over there."

Yuan Qing took a look and saw that there were thick walls on both sides. As long as he paid attention to the long alley behind and the street on this side, he would basically not be eavesdropped. It was a good place to talk.

The three of them walked over, but before they even got there, Shen Jing couldn't help but ask, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened to the fire that day? This is the first time I've seen a fire in the kitchen during a banquet."

"You don't know the reason?" Song Ying was very surprised. "Didn't you say that you helped put out the fire in the kitchen that day? How could you not know the reason?"

"As soon as Yuan Qing arrived at the kitchen of Shen Mansion that day, he was eager to find you. I followed him. After rescuing you, we were busy moving you away from that area. By the time we waited for your master and sent you back, the fire over there had been extinguished."

Song Ying blinked, feeling a little touched. If Yuan Qing had not looked for her as soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she might have been burned to death in there.

She bowed solemnly and said, "I haven't thanked you yet. It was all thanks to you for saving me that day. I didn't know I would meet you today. I don't have a thank you gift with me. Will you be in the academy tomorrow? I'll give it to you."

"Oh, why thank you?" Shen Jing was very anxious. "Just tell us the cause of the fire."

"No, you didn't have the chance to ask why. Aren't there other students from the prefectural school helping to put out the fire? They didn't ask why either?"

"I asked, but no one in your Shen Mansion would tell me. My family found out that a maid accidentally splashed sparks into the firewood when she was lighting the fire.

This reason is so deceptive!

Not to mention that the maids who were lighting the fire were all very experienced and rarely let sparks fly. With so many people in the kitchen, if sparks did fly into the firewood, they would be discovered quickly, and there would be no way the fire would get big enough to burn down the entire kitchen."

Song Ying blinked, and then blinked again, "Is this the reason found for all the people who attended the banquet that day?"

Shen Jing nodded, "This is the reason given by your Shen Mansion."

I heard that when they returned from the Shen family that day, many people secretly laughed at the Shen family, thinking that marrying a golden phoenix could not cover up the rudeness and shallowness of their small family, and that holding a banquet could cause chaos.

However, when each family could not find the real cause of the incident, they all shut up and deeply admired the ability of County Master Shunan.
