406 Saving People (3)
Sister Huan and Lin Miaomiao agreed in unison and sat in front of the desk to answer the questions.
The two of them were not nervous, but Shen Yijia was.
The smell of books here was too strong. Her scalp tingled as soon as she walked into the building.
Those who didn’t know better would think that she was the one taking the exam.
Shen Yijia rubbed her arms and thought to herself that if she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have followed her in. She could have waited at the door and walked around.
!!
It was unknown if the invigilator could tell what she was thinking, but she summoned a female servant and instructed, “Take Madam Song out for a walk.”
Shen Yijia was so touched that she almost cried. She bowed and followed the female attendant out of the etiquette hall.
Standing outside in the fresh air, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The female attendant was amused by her and comforted her. “Superintendent Xu looks serious, but she’s actually the most magnanimous.”
Shen Yijia smiled awkwardly. She could not explain why she was so nervous. It was the atmosphere inside.
At this moment, the students were all in class. There were not many people walking around outside.
The attendant brought Shen Yijia around all the places she was allowed to go, including outside the lecture hall.
Looking at the people sitting upright in front of the desk in the same student uniform, Shen Yijia felt a little envious.
When she reacted, she quickly shook her head to shake off this terrifying thought.
She urged the female attendant to bring her away. The female attendant thought that she was worried that she would affect the students’ classes here, so her impression of Shen Yijia improved.
After bringing Shen Yijia around for a while, a female servant hurriedly walked over and muttered something in her ear.
The female attendant looked at Shen Yijia awkwardly.
Shen Yijia blinked. “If you have something to do, go ahead. I’ll take a walk myself.”
“Thank you, Madam Song.”
Shen Yijia was interested in the academy because she had never seen it before. Her curiosity about it had long disappeared after walking around.
In addition, she had promised Song Jingchen that she would be good and not cause trouble, so she didn’t plan to continue after the maidservant left.
She walked in the direction she remembered and prepared to wait for Sister Huan outside the etiquette hall.
However, she realized that she was straying further and further away.
“I came from this direction just now.” Shen Yijia scratched her head.
However, there was no female attendant nearby. She could not even ask for directions.
She was about to walk back when she heard coughing from a wall away.
“Just asking for directions? It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
After ten minutes, Shen Yijia successfully climbed up the wall.
She stuck her head out.
What she saw was a small courtyard. The courtyard was very clean and there were some flowers on both sides.
Shen Yijia did not know anything about flowers. She only felt that they were much better-looking than the colorful flowers in the perverted man’s courtyard in Qingping Town.
There was also a grape trellis set up in the courtyard. Under the trellis was a woman half lying on a rattan chair.
She was holding a book in her hand. She was the one who coughed.
Shen Yijia was speechless. How much did she like to read? Why did he still want to read when he was coughing so badly?
However, this had nothing to do with her.
Shen Yijia supported herself against the wall with one hand and waved at the woman inside. “Um, excuse me.”
Shen Yijia thought that she spoke softly and gently. There was a mesmerizing smile on her face, and she spoke politely.
However, before she could finish speaking, the book in the woman’s hand suddenly fell to the ground and she fainted.
The rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
Uh oh.
Shen Yijia was really wronged. How could she scam her like this?
She looked around the courtyard and didn’t see a second person. She suddenly thought of Madam Qiu, who had been sick for 20 years and was still breathing.
She couldn’t be so unlucky, could she?
She was indeed very unlucky.
Shen Yijia could not think of anyone other than Madam Qiu who would be so sick that they had to stay in the academy.
Thinking of how much Director Lu valued this madam, if this person died just like that…
Not to mention whether Brother Hao and the other two could still study in Autumn Deer Academy, they would probably cause trouble for Song Jingchen.
The dean of the academy had taught many people and had countless students. Each of them could drown her with their status.
Shen Yijia could not care less about how rude it was to enter someone else’s courtyard without permission. She propped herself up with her hands and jumped over the courtyard wall.
She first ran to Madam Qiu and checked her breathing.
Fortunately, she was still breathing.
She shook Madam Qiu’s arm tentatively. “Madam, wake up.”
Even if she really wanted to die, she had to wait for others to come and tell them that it had nothing to do with her.
However, Madam Qiu did not react at all.
Shen Yijia wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked up and saw a water vat in the corner of the courtyard.
There were also a few gourd ladles beside the water vat. They were probably used to water the flowers.
She pursed her lips and walked over. She scooped up a ladle full of water with a gourd ladle and dripped a drop of spiritual liquid into it. She raised her head and gulped down more than half of it.
Looking at the remaining water, Shen Yijia thought for a moment and filled it with another ladle. This time, she drank until there was only a small mouthful left.
There was really only one small bite left.
Shen Yijia poured the diluted spiritual spring water into Madam Qiu’s mouth.
After waiting for a moment, Madam Qiu’s breathing stabilized.
She heaved a sigh of relief and climbed over the wall out of the courtyard.
Shen Yijia did not notice that just as she turned around, Madam Qiu’s eyelids twitched. She watched as Madam Qiu fainted again.
Under the courtyard wall, Shen Yijia rubbed her bulging stomach and burped. She did not dare to slack off anymore and walked back obediently.
It was not that she was stingy, but her beautiful husband had said that the spiritual liquid was too magical. No one could know.
She was afraid that if she gave Madam Qiu a whole drop, Madam Qiu would be able to square dance tomorrow, so she came up with this plan.
“Oh, right. Square dance. I’ve been lucky enough to see it twice since I escaped the compound. It’s quite beautiful.” she thought.
Footsteps came from ahead. Shen Yijia had just gotten into trouble and felt a little guilty. Her feet moved faster than her brain, and she dodged behind the rockery.
Not even a strand of hair could be seen.
When they walked past, she came out from the other side of the rockery. She had just taken two steps when she heard voices.
“Miss Ji, it’s great that you’re here. My madam’s health has been deteriorating these past two days. She’s been fainting a few times each day.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Damn, it’s indeed a scammer. Give me back my spiritual liquid!”
