"This is the boundary. You can't sleep over here. If I find out you come over here, I will kick you off the bed." Qingyin took the quilt that could not be covered and drew a 38th parallel on the bed, warning fiercely.

But in Xie Jin's ears, he just sounded fierce and aggressive.

Just like a newborn kitten.

He nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, I sleep very well."

"That's better." Qingyin hummed.

After saying that, she lay down far away from him.

Someone who had succeeded stared at Qingyin's back with bright eyes, "Ayin, are you asleep?"

Qingyin: “…”

She had only been lying down for a second.

"Ayin, you..."

"Shut up!" Qingyin turned around, unable to bear it any longer. Face to face, they were only a pillow away from each other. But Xie Jin suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I was really scared today."

"It's okay, it's all over." After thinking about it, Qingyin gently reached out and patted his head, comforting him.

"Ayin, how did you fall into the lake?"

Qingyin paused.

Xie Jin's breath caught in his throat. "Who is it?"

He should have guessed that the lakeside was full of flowers and plants, and even if he really walked over, he would still be some distance away from the water.

At worst, if you accidentally fall, you will fall in the flower bed.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of falling into the lake, it shouldn't be in the middle of the lake.

So, after he rescued Qingyin, he subconsciously refused to stay there and wait for the court doctor.

If someone really wanted to harm her, then can this court doctor really be trusted?

To be honest, he didn't dare to gamble.

So I would rather carry her and run several blocks to the clinic.

Qingyin didn't expect Xie Jin to be so sensitive. He guessed it after she just hesitated for a moment.

But he should know about this, otherwise if the Lu family is doing something behind the scenes, they will be in a very passive position.

"Today, when I was waiting for the county magistrate's wife in the pavilion, I suddenly found a broken hairpin on the ground. Just as I was about to take a closer look, the county magistrate's wife arrived. I had no choice but to pay my respects. Unexpectedly, the first thing she did when she saw me was to ask me why I had deliberately dropped her hairpin and asked for my explanation.

Just when I was about to say it was a misunderstanding, she didn't even give me a chance and ordered the maid to arrest me, saying that I had ruined her plan.

Xie Jin clenched his fists tightly and asked in a low voice, "What happened next?"

"I didn't run away. I was caught. You know what happened next."

Xie Jin released his clenched fists and held her in his arms with trembling hands, "Don't be afraid anymore." His lips carefully touched her hair.

That night, Xie Jin didn't dare to close his eyes.

He just stared at Qingyin all night long.

The sky gradually brightened, and Xie Jin moved his already stiff body, gently got out of bed, and went out.

He had to buy the groceries before Ayin woke up.

She suffered so much damage yesterday, she needs to be well healed.

But when he opened the door, he saw a man squatting at the door. He frowned slightly and wanted to pretend that he didn't see it.

The person squatting stood up in surprise when he heard the door open. When he saw it was Xie Jin, his surprised expression slowly faded. "Sister Ayin, is she okay?"

Xie Jin didn't reply, but turned around and closed the door, then walked past An Rou with a cold expression.

An Rou didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously stood in front of Xie Jin, "Where's Sister Ayin? Is she okay?"

When she heard that Sister Ayin fell into the lake yesterday, she immediately wanted to see her.

But she didn't know when her mother's people came to her yard, and it was not until that moment that she realized that she was under house arrest again.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever my mother was unhappy, I would be locked up in the yard, sometimes for three days, sometimes for five days.

The longest time was probably the embroidery incident, where she was locked up for almost a month.

She smiled mockingly at those people, "How long does Mother plan to keep me locked up this time?"

Those people seemed to be used to it and just said calmly: "Madam said that the young lady cannot go out before her wedding."

Wedding?

In the past, she might have dreamed of it, but her mother repeatedly asked her to bring her sister with her, and also took the infertility medicine.

Even though she was stupid, she knew what her mother was planning.

But she is obviously her mother's daughter!

Why do you treat her like this?

Xie Jin looked at An Rou, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "Miss Yi, you ask me?"

"You, you know."

An Rou felt a little embarrassed.

At the beginning, she did deliberately conceal her identity. Whether it was her identity as the county magistrate's legitimate daughter or the future wife of the Duke of Anguo, it should have been kept secret.

She remembered that it was her birthday.

Her younger sister happened to be sick, and her mother stayed by her side, forgetting her own birthday. She told herself that her younger sister was sick, and as an older sister, she should understand her mother and take care of her younger sister.

But she was really sad, so she sneaked out of the house.

The cries of merchants and hawkers, the sounds of children playing and fighting.

Even the sounds of the couple fighting and scolding at the end of the street seemed novel to her.

It turns out that the world outside is like this. It was also on that day that she met Sister Ayin.

Over the years, only Sister Ayin treated her sincerely and loved her like a younger sister. She didn't want to make Sister Ayin feel uncomfortable because of her identity.

Unexpectedly, this secret lasted for several years.

She originally wanted to wait until her wedding to reveal her identity and invite Sister Ayin to attend.

But unexpectedly, these things happened one after another recently.

Xie Jin now feels annoyed whenever he sees someone with the surname Yi.

So, he was too lazy to say anything and just walked away.

Yi Anrou wanted to chase after him, but seeing people coming and going at the entrance of the alley, she could only hold back.

Xie Jin went to the market, and when he came back, he was holding an old hen in his left hand. The old hen seemed to know that if she went home with this man, she would be in trouble, so she struggled desperately. Xie Jin was holding two eggs in his right hand. He wanted to help with his right hand, but was afraid of crushing the eggs.

Yi Anrou, who was originally worried, saw his funny look and had to hold back for a long time before she couldn't laugh in front of him.

When Xie Jin approached, Yi Anrou quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the egg."

Xie Jin snorted coldly.

He walked straight to the door and kicked it lightly with his foot.

The door creaked open.

At this moment, Yi Anrou suddenly pushed open the door from behind and ran in before Xie Jin could react.

Xie Jin wanted to tell her to get out, but was afraid that his voice would be too loud and wake up the person sleeping inside.

In just a short while, Yi Anrou had entered the yard and sat on the stool where they usually ate.

After Xie Jin came in, he kicked the door lightly with his foot and closed it.

Seeing that it was getting late, he went straight to the kitchen after entering.

Although Yi Anrou sat there with a dignified demeanor and no expression on her face, God knew how nervous she was.
