Fearing Xie Zhinuan might decline, Li Hengyi hastily added another sentence, "Anyway, I'm only here to recuperate, so if you feel uneasy about it, just cook me a meal once we reach the county town, and whether you stay at an inn or with me at the posthouse is up to you!"
"Okay!" Xie Zhinuan agreed.
Having both achieved their objectives, the two of them chatted idly for a few more moments, and they agreed on a time to depart the next morning before Xie Zhinuan took her leave.
Li Hengyi ordered Yuanbao to prepare the carriage.
"Do we need to make arrangements over at the county town?" Yuanbao asked.
Li Hengyi, caressing the warm jade Xie Zhinuan had left behind, pondered for quite a while before saying, "No need, I think she can handle it herself. I won't interfere, lest I offend her!"
Yuanbao quickly agreed.
He thought to himself how unusually agreeable his master had become.
