135 Once and For All
“Your daughter is still awake. Do you want to see her?” Lin Suisui ignored Gao Xuwei’s lewd gaze as she continued to speak calmly.
“There’s no need for that. Isn’t she very weak?! Don’t carry her out! It’s better to let her stay by her mother’s side and rest!
By the way, do you need anything?!
“Madam Liu, feel free to tell me. I’ll immediately get someone to prepare it and send it to you. How about that?!”
Gao Xuwei’s tone was so lewd that Lin Suisui almost vomited.
However, he didn’t know and thought that he seemed very affectionate and elegant. He took a few steps forward, while Lin Suisui took a few steps back calmly. Now that Lu Ze wasn’t around, she couldn’t let her guard down.
Lin Suisui took advantage of the moment when Gao Xuwei was about to raise his hand to move to Fang Liu’s side. “Mr. Pei has instructed that this is our duty. We can’t accept your praise.”
Lin Suisui’s attitude was respectful, but her words were extremely perfunctory.
As if thinking of something, Lin Suisui said to Gao Xuwei nervously, “General, you came so suddenly. We don’t have any tea here. We only have some ginger soup. Please don’t mind.”
As Lin Suisui spoke, she had already scooped a bowl of ginger soup and walked over to serve it to Gao Xuwei, who was sitting by the bonfire.
Gao Xuwei reached out and took the ginger soup from Lin Suisui. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to touch her hand, but Lin Suisui was too fast. Just as he thought of it, she slid away.
“Cough! This ginger soup tastes good. Did you cook it yourself?!” Gao Xuwei was an experienced womanizer. Seeing Lin Suisui like this, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he became more infatuated with her.
He would take things easy, since he didn’t believe that he couldn’t win over a woman living in a refugee camp!
“It’s Mrs. Luo’s cooking. Do you think it’s good? How about you reward her?!” Lin Suisui smiled as she gave Mrs. Luo credit. She even asked for a reward.
Gao Xuwei laughed but didn’t feel awkward at all! He reached into his sleeve and took out a silver ingot. Then, he raised his hand and threw it to Mrs. Luo, who was standing beside Lin Suisui. “Reward!”
Mrs. Luo took the silver ingot and thanked Gao Xuwei profusely.
Gao Xuwei replied perfunctorily before shifting the topic to Lin Suisui. “Madam Liu, with your good medical skills, wouldn’t it be a waste of your talent to continue staying in this refugee camp?!
“How about this? There are many women in my residence. Why don’t you follow me back to the north this time and become a doctor in my residence?!”
“General, you’re flattering me. I only know a little, and my skills are very crude. It’s fine for me to treat ordinary people, but the women in your residence are all extremely noble. How can a boor like me go in to treat them?!”
Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and rejected him bluntly.
In order not to let Gao Xuwei continue pestering her, she paused for a moment before continuing, “Don’t you want to know about Yuan Niang’s situation at all?!
No matter what, she was the one who gave birth to your eldest daughter!
If you can express more concern about her and put her in a good mood, it will help her recover quicker!”
Lin Suisui was actually trying to test Gao Xuwei’s attitude towards the mother and daughter.
Of course, it was also a way to divert attention.
From Gao Xuwei’s point of view, mentioning someone from his past when he was focused on flirting with a new woman was a buzz kill! He didn’t think that he was at fault at all and would only vent his anger on the innocent.
“Why are you mentioning her at this time?! With me around, will they starve or something?!
“Madam Liu, it’s not easy for you to take care of the mother and child day and night. You have to take care of your own health as well!”
Gao Xuwei’s expression darkened, but he quickly put on a smile and looked at Lin Suisui with a lustful expression. His motive was obvious.
“General Gao, you don’t have to worry about my wife’s health!” Lu Ze’s voice had already drifted in from outside the tent before he entered. He walked in with a hare whose neck was still dripping with blood. There was still killing intent on his face. “Mr. Pei was looking for you just now. He said that it was an urgent matter.”
Gao Xuwei felt a chill run down his spine when Lu Ze’s cold gaze swept past him. He couldn’t help but shiver. When he recovered, he realized that Lu Ze had already walked out of the tent.
Tsk!
Indeed, no one who interacted with Pei Qian was pleasing to the eye!
Gao Xuwei spat unhappily, but he didn’t dare to delay Pei Qian any longer! He wasn’t in a hurry. Anyway, there was still time in the future. He could slowly deal with these annoying people!
Without Pei Qian’s protection, he would see how long Lu Ze could last!
After Gao Xuwei comforted himself and left, Lin Suisui, Mrs. Luo, and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
“They’re finally gone. If they stayed any longer, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to hold it in anymore!” Lin Suisui clutched her chest to calm herself down. When that person stayed in the tent just now, she felt that the surrounding air was so foul that she couldn’t breathe!
Now, she had finally recovered!
“Wouldn’t have been able to hold what in anymore?!” Lu Ze handed the rabbit in his hand to Mrs. Luo and asked when he heard Lin Suisui’s words.
He had gone out for a walk in the surrounding forest with Wu Liu in the morning. He didn’t expect General Gao to come at this time!
“I wouldn’t have been able to resist dumping that ginger soup jar on him!” Lin Suisui chuckled and had no intention of hiding it from him. “Fortunately, you came back!”
Gao Xuwei’s arrival didn’t attract much attention from Mrs. Luo and the others. However, after Lin Suisui entered the ox cart, Lu Ze followed her over and asked her in a low voice, “What did you feed him?!”
“Something that will resolve the trouble once and for all.” Lin Suisui lifted the curtain and looked out. Seeing that there was no one else around, she took a few steps to Lu Ze’s side and whispered into his ear, “Didn’t I tell you before that ‘Forgetfulness’ is a very good medicine primer? With it, I can concoct many good things!”
“When will the medicine take effect?!” Lu Ze’s first reaction was that Gao Xuwei would die from the poison. This made him nervous. If the interval was too short, he had to think of a way let Lin Suisui to avoid suspicion when they were investigating the cause of his death!
