Then, stuffing two vials of medicine into the hands of a glaring Su Hua, she comforted her, "Have you forgotten? We all have to listen to the lady. If she tells us to take them, we take them. It's so we can be stronger and protect her in the future. Or do you want the lady to come save you again?"
"I didn't..." Su Hua was at a loss for words.
Ultimately, she could only accept the medicines with a shocked and pleased expression, thanking Qu Tong gratefully.
Si Yuting left halfway through the day, telling Qu Tong that he might come back late and not to wait for him for dinner.
Qu Tong, when not concocting medicine, had free time, so she tended to the vegetable garden and continued reading her books.
She had even sought advice from her tutor about the subjects on the exam and borrowed all the relevant books from the library.
Others might not have been able to borrow so many books, but she could, since Xie Ci had recently taken a part-time job as a librarian.
