Emerging from Lady Cui Xuan's courtyard, the sky was rather dark, seemingly on the brink of rain.
Shen Hua did not seek out Ni Kang.
Possibly frightened by her reaction that night, Ni Kang did not force Shen Hua to perform acupuncture on him again, but instead added a few more herbs to her prescription.
It tasted even more bitter now.
Yet for Shen Hua, who had been taking medicine all year round, even the bitterest medicine was no different from iced tea.
Upon returning to the East Courtyard, she happened upon Xue Shuyue and Zhang Su who had specifically come to visit.
Shen Hua gracefully rose from her wheelchair and politely invited them inside to sit for a while.
Zhang Su said with a beaming smile, "Miss Shen, we've come especially to see how you are."
