ng Yunzheng was silent for a mont, then looked up at her.
"Then why were you kidnapped by the abductors back then, and needed to rescue you?"
ng Han, "..." The past was unbearable to recall, she silently packed away the dicine bags on the table.
ng Yunzheng nodded with satisfaction and took out a dagger, "Keep this dagger with you."
ng Han’s eyelids twitched even more. Did her cousin distrust her that much? She had learned her lesson and swore she wouldn’t get kidnapped by abductors again.
"This dagger is a gift for you. I heard you’ve always wanted one, but your parents wouldn’t give it to you because you’re a girl. You’ve been in Jiangyuan County for quite so ti, and I haven’t given you anything yet. This dagger is finely crafted and sharp, perfect for a young lady."
ng Han’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, and she eagerly took it, speaking with so excitent, "A gift, a gift for ?"
"Yes, the dagger is small. If you don’t want your parents to find out, you can tie it to your calf. As long as you walk naturally, most people won’t notice."
ng Han nodded quickly, "I’ll tie it on later, and I’ll get used to it on the way back in no ti."
She happily examined the dagger and discreetly tested its sharpness. Wow, with one slice, a corner of the table was cut off.
ng Han shrugged her neck and looked at ng Yunzheng. The latter glanced at the table but said nothing, turning around to take out a Soft Sword.
ng Han, "..." Another weapon? Is it for her again?
But ng Yunzheng said, "Since I gave you a gift, I shouldn’t leave ng Qi out. Although I haven’t interacted much with him and am not very close, I am still his older brother. This Soft Sword is for you to give to him on my behalf."
ng Han swallowed, surprised at how generous her cousin was.
"Actually, I think you could give my brother the Four Treasures of the Study. Father would be very pleased." After all, Uncle ng always hoped his son would excel academically, breaking the ng family’s supposed curse of having no talent for studies.
ng Yunzheng simply pushed the sword forward a bit, "Since it’s for your brother, it should be based on his preferences. Moreover, even scholars benefit from practicing martial arts for health and fitness, and the imperial exams require physical and ntal strength. If Uncle knows the sword is from , he probably won’t oppose it."
However, whether Ms. Tao would oppose it was unknown. She might even think ng Yunzheng had ill intentions, not wanting ng Qi to succeed after achieving the title of Scholar himself, and giving a Soft Sword as a gift was to encourage ng Qi to abandon his studies for martial arts.
ng Han didn’t think much of it. She just envied her brother. She also wanted a Soft Sword, but it was too easy to discover.
Forget it, she’ll just walk away with the dagger.
ng Yunzheng rarely spoke so much to ng Han, and she suddenly felt her cousin wasn’t so intimidating.
See, at the mont of farewell, he couldn’t bear to let her go, continually reminding her to stay safe, and even giving her gifts, clearly showing he cared deeply for her.
ng Han set off early the next morning, traveling with ng Pei and the escort agency’s convoy.
She had a whole carriage to herself, filled with all the things she had gained during her ti in Jiangyuan County.
Thinking about leaving this relaxing and joyful place, ng Han was very reluctant, leaning out the window to wave goodbye to her cousin and friends.
She had never had such an experience, nor had she imagined that one day, when leaving a place, so many friends would co to see her off.
