291 She Was Particularly Slow When It Came to Relationships
Nanny Sheng could not help but sigh when she saw Nine. She said worriedly, “Young Master Nine, we already know what happened last night. You always looks mature and steady. Why are you fooling around with a group of children?”
Nine did not look embarrassed after being exposed. He admitted this matter indifferently, “This matter started because of me. I’m willing to accept all punishment.”
“I have no intention of punishing you. In the end, this matter started because of those children. You were also involved in it innocently, so I don’t want to pursue the matter. Nine, I called you here to ask you what your next plan is,” Gu Qingxue said when she saw the puzzled look on Nine’s face, then she continued, “The injuries on your body are gradually recovering. You don’t need me to help you heal them anymore. Have you considered leaving this place?”
Nine’s expression changed, and he shook his head without thinking. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Nanny Sheng said earnestly, “It’s not too late for you to start thinking about it now, Young Master Nine. I think that you’re diligent and eager to learn, and you’re willing to bear hardships and have patience. You can go to the town and find a job. A young man like you can earn a few silvers a month. I don’t think it’s a problem. It’s enough for you to eat and drink alone.”
Gu Qingxue nodded in agreement, she said with a smile, “I can help you ask Shopkeeper Huang about it. You’re quite capable. Maybe you can become a bodyguard in the city. You can even earn a few taels of silver a month.”
Nine did not want a few taels of silver as a monthly payment. Whenever he thought of leaving to the city, which would be further away from Dafu Village, he could not help but be reluctant.
He did not want to go to the city, nor did he want to go to Qingyuan Town. He did not even want to leave this place.
“Young Master Nine, why aren’t you saying anything?” Nanny Sheng looked at Nine with concern and asked.
Nine’s gaze moved slightly, and he slowly said, “I haven’t thought about it.”
He liked the life here so much that he had even forgotten that he did not belong here.
Therefore, he had never thought of leaving these days.
Facing such a question all of a sudden, Nine did not know how to answer it.
Gu Qingxue could not help but laugh when she saw the conflicted look on Nine’s face, as if he was facing a huge problem. “You don’t have to be so conflicted, and I’m not asking you to leave right away. You should think about it first. There’s no need to rush.”
Nine nodded and agreed to Gu Qingxue’s request.
Nanny Sheng saw every expression on Nine’s face. As an experienced person, she could vaguely see some clues.
After Nine left, she cleared her throat and reminded Gu Qingxue carefully, “I don’t know if Eldest Miss has noticed, but it seems that Young Master Jiu doesn’t seem to be willing to leave.”
Gu Qingxue recalled the conflicted look on Nine’s face just now, she nodded thoughtfully, “Yes, his memory hasn’t recovered yet, and he’s going to leave us again. It’s inevitable that he’ll feel uneasy. Don’t worry, nanny, I’ll find an opportunity to enlighten him.”
Nanny Sheng saw that Gu Qingxue did not understand what she meant, so she had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to reach her throat.
She finally realized that the Eldest Miss was good at everything, smart, calm, and capable.
Only when it came to relationships, she was particularly slow.
Nanny Sheng did not intend to say anything more. After she agreed, she got up and left the hall to take care of the Madam Qi in her room.
Nine quickly left the courtyard house. He did not return to the next room. Instead, he left in quick steps and headed straight for the outside of the village.
After a few days of training, his legs had improved a lot. He did not walk as fast as lightning, but in the eyes of outsiders, he looked no different from an ordinary person when he walked.
However, he was not happy.
His injury was clearly so serious, but how did he recover so quickly?
