At least Old Xing was able to get out of bed. The eunuch that day didn't dare to hit him too hard. Plus, Old Xing had been working in the fields of the Siyuan zone since he was a child, and his body was reasonably strong and sturdy, so he could withstand the beating. If they had continued, he might have died.
Nan Feng was always kind-hearted and felt guilty about Old Xing's condition. During the time Old Xing was recovering, she visited him every day and apologized. However, Old Xing stayed silent until he could get out of bed. He then looked at Nan Feng and said, "If you really want to apologize, then do your job properly from now on. Otherwise, today it's me, tomorrow it could be someone else. Everyone in the Siyuan zone may have a lowly status, but each of us hopes to see the sun rise another day."
Nan Feng thought for a moment and could only agree: "I understand, Old Xing. I'll work hard from now on. Can you tell me exactly what I need to do here in Siyuan?"
