Chapter 259 : Restitution (9)

The question caught Zhang Fengxi by surprise.

"I... I have something to do at the military today, so I need to leave early."

Thinking back, that was rather a poorly constructed lie. By the time he realized it, it was already too late to come up with a better one.

Xie Jianyu rolled to his side and used an elbow to prop himself up.

"Why are you still here, then?" he squinted at his husband in suspicion.

"...."

Zhang Fengxi's Adam's Apple bobbed up and down nervously.

"I was just... I brought you a tonic."

He gestured toward the bowl of steaming medicine just next to Xie Jianyu's bed. "The two physicians come up with the recipe together, so no one will raise an objection."

Xie Jianyu could not help but chuckle when he recalled the verbal arguments between Lady Song and Xie Jianshen.

"I will drink it later," Xie Jianyu said. "You should leave now. Don't come back too late."
