The next morning, Jiang Mianmian woke up, washed up, and asked Cui Yu if Li Tingxue had woken up and how she was doing now.

She learned from Cuiyu that Li Tingxue had woken up and had been examined by a doctor. The doctor said that she was not seriously injured and only needed to drink herbal medicine for two days to calm her mind and she would be fine.

Jiang Mianmian also breathed a sigh of relief immediately. She was glad that she was alright. She didn't want her granddaughter to be labeled as a jinx.

She snorted. She would never admit that she was worried about Li Tingxue.

Jiang Mianmian immediately said, "Cui Yu, I suddenly feel very hungry! Go and tell someone to set the table! After dinner, can you bring little Le'an over to play with him?"

Cuiyun smiled and lowered her head. The old lady was really something. She clearly cared about the young lady in her heart, but she just refused to admit it.

He looked concerned just now, but when he heard that the young lady was fine, he said he was hungry to change the subject.

But she did not expose the old lady's thoughts. She just answered respectfully, turned around with a smile and walked out of the house, ordering the maids to go to the kitchen to get the meal quickly.

At this moment, Shen Xiuyan had just finished his court session when he heard the servant's report that Li Tingxue had woken up. He immediately walked quickly towards the Sakura Courtyard.

In Sakura Courtyard, Li Tingxue sat on the bed, staring motionlessly out the window. Her eyes were blank, red, and tears welled up in them.

However, the moment Li Tingxue saw Shen Xiuyan come in, her body couldn't help but move behind the bed, and her head immediately turned to one side.

When Chen Xiuyan saw Li Tingxue's reaction, he thought she was angry with him because of what happened yesterday!

So, instead of being angry, he felt even more distressed. He immediately went forward and sat on the bed, holding Li Tingxue in his arms, and comforted her softly:

"Tingxue, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you to come over yesterday. I also wanted to let you know her true face. She doesn't deserve your kindness to her."

"Alas! If I had known she would hurt you, I would have gotten rid of her myself. I'd rather have you blame me than forget that you're still in confinement and weak, letting her take advantage of the opportunity to do something to hurt you."

"Tingxue, don't worry, don't be afraid, no one will hurt you now, and no one can take me away from you.

When I married you, I promised you that we would be together for life. I will never betray our vows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, for some reason, Li Tingxue cried even harder after hearing what he said.

Li Tingxue lay in his arms, crying louder and louder, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Tears rolled down like beads with a broken string, and she couldn't stop them.

At this time, Li Tingxue was crying, with a crystal light in her eyes, but with a trace of lingering heartache.

Her tears seemed to be seeking forgiveness, and Shen Xiuyan couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

Lying in Shen Xiuyan's arms, Li Tingxue covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling, unable to hide the pain in her heart. Her helpless crying made Shen Xiuyan feel heartbroken.

Chen Xiuyan patted Li Tingxue's back and continued to comfort her gently: "Cry! Tingxue, maybe after you cry, the sad mood in your heart will disappear.

A woman like your cousin is not worth crying for anymore. Let's just treat it as a dog bite. This way, you can leave all your love to me and the children in the future!"

“Wuwuwu…”

Shen Xiuyan was a little surprised when he saw the person in his arms still crying. He didn't expect that his wife, who usually didn't like to cry, was crying non-stop like a flood today.

He could only smile and coax patiently: "Alright, you are all mothers now, be careful that our Le An sees and makes fun of her mother."

Shen Xiuyan held Li Tingxue's hand and said seriously: "Tingxue, don't worry, I will never let anyone bully you in vain. I ordered the servants to send Liu Jiaying to the Tongzhengsi early in the morning.

Furthermore, I sent the housekeeper to Yue's house to inform my mother-in-law of everything she did. I will not let you have any trouble in front of my father-in-law. I will support you from behind and will not let anyone bully you!"

After he finished speaking, Shen Xiuyan did not hear Li Tingxue's praise or smile, nor did he see the moved expression he had imagined.

Instead, she started crying again, “Wuwuwu…”

"Chen Xiuyan, what if...what if...one day it's you who bullies me?"

Li Tingxue looked at Chen Xiuyan aggrievedly and asked, but her voice became extremely soft.

Chen Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, because since marrying Li Tingxue, she had never spoken to him in such a tender tone.

For a moment, he was a little flattered, but it greatly satisfied the protective mentality of the male chauvinist in his heart.

He gently kissed Li Tingxue's forehead, and his voice became much softer: "Tingxue, I am your husband, how could I bully you? Even if the entire Dayuan Kingdom bullies you, I, Chen Xiuyan, will not bully you."

Shen Xiuyan leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "Even if I want to 'bully' you, I will do it at night when no one is around. I will 'bully' you alone until... dawn."

As soon as the words fell, Li Tingxue gently hit his chest, snorted in her heart, but said shyly:

"Oh! You... are so shameful! How can you say such things in broad daylight? Anyway, you can't bully me in the future, and you can't say anything about me for Li... that "woman"..."

"Okay, okay, if there's no other woman, I won't bully you."

"Hmph, that's more like it! Then let's make a pinky promise. You will never make me sad for another woman in the future!"

At this moment, when Li Tingxue looked at Chen Xiuyan acting coquettishly, she looked like a young girl, with a hint of shyness between her eyebrows. She twisted her waist slightly, as if she was feeling a little aggrieved and a little coquettish.

When Shen Xiuyan looked at Li Tingxue at this moment, his expression was slightly stunned, as if he saw another person through her.

He frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt fell in his heart. It was strange. Why did he feel that after Li Tingxue was hit on the head yesterday, she became so delicate today, as if... as if she had become a different person.

Chen Xiuyan then casually asked, "When did you become so childish? You even believed in pinky promises like a little girl?"

But in the face of Shen Xiuyan's teasing, Li Tingxue still stretched out her finger and insisted that he pinky promise with her, as if she was eager for a promise.

And Shen Xiuyan didn't notice that when he finished saying this, the woman in his arms felt a pang in her heart, and a guilty look flashed in her eyes.
