Shangguan Xue went downstairs and found the butler, Uncle Zhang.

"Butler Zhang, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Zhang Bo smiled kindly and said, "Please speak, Madam Han."

Shangguan Xue spoke gently as always: "It's like this, my younger sister's back injury requires rest, and there are some things she shouldn't do, so I'd like to ask you to prepare some soup to reduce internal heat and send it to my brother-in-law. Is that alright?"

"..."

Uncle Zhang was shocked!

Is Fourth Young Master acting so recklessly after breaking his vows? Fourth Young Madam has injured her back. If this leads to a chronic condition, won't Fourth Young Master be the one to suffer the consequences?

For the sake of long-term stability, the Fourth Young Master must reduce his internal heat!

Uncle Zhang assured, "Don't worry, Madam Han, I will personally prepare the hot soup."

"Thank you for your help."

Shangguan Xue nodded to him and then returned to her guest room on the second floor.

Around noon, Uncle Zhang prepared winter melon, kelp, and barley soup for Gu Yunzhen, urging him to drink two more bowls.

At dinner time, Uncle Zhang changed his soup to cucumber and pork offal soup, which was also a soup to reduce internal heat.

Gu Yunzhen didn't understand, but she found Zhang Bo's instructions strange.

But he didn't say anything.

Shangguan Wu noticed it and couldn't suppress his smile, which made Gu Yunzhen's eyelids twitch.

It wasn't until Uncle Zhang came to the study that Gu Yunzhen learned what Shangguan Wu had done!

"Fourth Young Master, I took the liberty of asking Elder You, but while the cooling soup is effective, you still need to exercise restraint. Everything should wait until your wife's back injury heals. It's better to take it slow and steady, don't you think?"

A cooling soup?

restraint?

A slow and steady flow?

Gu Yunzhen understood the meaning, and her face turned as dark and terrifying as the sky before a storm.

What kind of person did he take him for?

Even if Shangguan Wu wasn't injured, he wouldn't touch her!

"go out!"

Gu Yunzhen spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Zhang Bo respectfully left the study. After closing the door, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Honest advice is hard to hear, but thankfully the Fourth Young Master didn't order him to be thrown into the Blackwater Pond to feed the fish.

The study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Yunzhen sat for a minute, then angrily left the study.

Back in the bedroom, Shangguan Wu was alone, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Shangguan Wu!"

Gu Yunzhen's voice was as cold as ice, and his chilling gaze was like a sharp blade piercing straight at her: "Is it fun?"

Seeing his extremely angry expression, Shangguan Wu didn't react immediately: "What?"

Gu Yunzhen scoffed coldly.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shangguan Wu's mind, and she realized the reason. She blinked innocently and said, "My older sister noticed the injury on my hand and suspected that you hit me. Of course, I had to deny it. It's just that the reason I gave wasn't very good. But I did ask you to apply medicine, and you refused!"

Gu Yunzhen: ...So it became his fault?

He said coldly, "You insist I apply the medicine? Don't you have hands?"

Shangguan Wu's eyebrows curved into a smile, and she said matter-of-factly, "That's right, with you here, I don't have hands."

"..."

Gu Yunzhen's face darkened again!

This is the second woman who dares to be completely unreasonable in front of him!

Shangguan Wu moved closer to him, her voice sweet and soft: "Honey, don't be angry. Getting angry will make you ugly, accelerate cell aging, and cause all sorts of minor health problems."

She gazed up at him tenderly, saying, "I hope you live to be a hundred years old and accompany me to the top of the world!"

Gu Yunzhen stared at her with deep, dark eyes.

This woman is adept at using her beauty. For example, right now, she acts harmless and gentle, as if he is the only one in her eyes, and he is her everything.

If he believes her, he will fall into her trap.

From then on, he became her devoted follower!

"I would live to be a hundred years old without you."

After speaking coldly, Gu Yunzhen maneuvered her wheelchair and left the bedroom.

Shangguan Wu's pupils suddenly contracted!

He may have said it in anger, unintentionally, but it struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her seeing stars and her mind blank.

It was more like a rusty, dull knife stabbing into her heart, tearing at her flesh and drawing blood with each cut, a feeling akin to being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Because if it weren't for her in his past life, he would still be that extremely noble and unapproachable overlord of the imperial city!

Shangguan Wu closed his eyes in pain.

Perhaps she shouldn't have married him.

Gu Yunzhen doesn't like her; she's not welcome in his world.

Having been given a second chance at life, she didn't want so many regrets, and she didn't want to miss out on him...

Shangguan Wu didn't want much; she just wanted to avenge herself and live a happy, peaceful life with him, watching the flowers bloom and fade, and the clouds drift and gather.

Gu Yunzhen did not return to her room all night.

Shangguan Wu waited all night and thought about it all night.

She finally fell into a deep sleep after daybreak.

Her agreement with Gu Yunzhen was for one year. During that year, she would try her best to make him fall in love with her. If, after a year, he still didn't like her and wanted a divorce, then she would let go, not bother him, and not disturb him...

Shangguan Wu was fast asleep and unaware that someone had come to the bedroom and then left.

It was a little after nine in the morning.

Shangguan Xinyi only then learned that Shangguan Wu had his bodyguard break Quan Tianrui's hand, and she stormed off from the hospital to Gu Garden in a rage.

Originally, it was thought that Shangguan Wu had married a disabled man and would be out of touch with high society for the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, the disabled man actually lived in a villa complex in Longji Mountain, surrounded by the powerful and famous people of Changteng City!

A deep jealousy flickered in her eyes.

Upon entering the living room, Shangguan Xinyi was taken aback when she saw Shangguan Xue in the room: "Big sister? What are you doing here?"

"I came to take care of my little sister."

Shangguan Xue was quite surprised to see her and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you resting in the hospital?"
