After returning to the room, Xia Muyan threw Li Shushu on the bed violently and pulled off his mask.

Li Shushu felt her back was hit by the bed board, which was a bit painful. She couldn't help but groan softly. Her pretty face with her eyes tightly closed now had two red clouds on it, and her eyelashes trembled, looking very cute and innocent.

Xia Muyan's face was filled with disdain. He leaned his hands on the edge of the bed, looking down at her, thinking: How could a lady from a famous family be so unruly? Such a gentle and delicate face is wasted.

However, Li Shushu sat up again in a daze. Fortunately, Xia Muyan dodged quickly, otherwise, he would have hit his forehead or nose...

She looked around and scratched the back of her head, a little confused. "Why am I lying on the bed? Oh, yes, I should be sleeping on the floor." She glanced at Xia Muyan's handsome face who was close to her, but didn't react. "When the masked man comes back and sees me sleeping in his bed, who knows what he will say to me. Quick, let me down!"

Xia Muyan frowned, put his hands on her shoulders, and pushed her down again, "Just lie down and rest assured, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"Uh..." Li Shushu didn't react for a moment and stared at him blankly. At this moment, she seemed a little too well-behaved.

Xia Muyan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he pulled the quilt over her from head to toe and said, "Go to sleep!"

Then, he ran to the coffee table and poured a large glass of boiled water. After drinking it in two big gulps, he bent his long legs and sat down on the mat made by Li Shushu. Then he supported his head with his elbows and lay down.

But he, who usually slept well, couldn't fall asleep at this moment no matter what.

He tossed and turned on the floor. The floor was a bit hard and it hurt his back a little. He secretly regretted it in his heart. He must have been crazy in the past to let such a delicate daughter like Li Shushu sleep on the floor bed?

She must have suffered a lot these past few nights and couldn't sleep at all, right?

Besides, he didn't know what to do with Li Shushu.

Originally, he kept her in the village because he wanted to figure out her conspiracy, to see her make a fool of herself, and even to use her to humiliate Xia Muyu...

But now... he obviously no longer wants to do the things mentioned above, so... what should he do?

He seemed to finally understand what a hot potato he had brought back with him. Now he could neither pick it up nor put it down.

At this moment, in his mind, Li Shushu was nominally his third brother's wife, and the legitimate consort of the Third Prince. Although he did not like his younger brother very much and even hated him very much, she was also married off by someone else and had not yet entered the Third Prince's Mansion.

But on the surface, she has already become someone else's daughter-in-law!

As for other aspects, Xia Muyan didn't understand and didn't think much about it... He didn't even know how he felt about Li Shushu now.

Distress, boredom, sadness!!!

He casually pulled the quilt beside him and covered his head with it, trying to force himself to calm down.

But the person on the bed was also restless and was tossing and turning, making the simple wooden bed creak as she tossed and turned.

He used to hear this sound often when he was sleeping, but he ignored it at that time.

But today it sounded so harsh and annoying to him!

She was drunk, so she should have been sleeping like a pig, right?

What on earth are you trying to do now, tossing and turning?

The movement over there did not stop. Li Shushu turned over and over again, while scratching his whole body with his hands.

Xia Muyan was so annoyed that he stretched out his legs, stood up again, walked to her bed, and looked down at her.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked in his usual cold voice.

Li Shushu was scratching with her eyes closed at first, but after he asked her this, she had to open her eyes again with a dazed look. Then, for some reason, her eye circles turned red. "Itchy..." She replied with a simple word in a wronged tone, and couldn't help but started scratching her whole body.

"Itchy?" Xia Muyan was distracted for a moment.

But he soon realized that the girl must have not taken a bath for several days and must be feeling unwell.

As the daughter of a marquis who grew up in pampered condition, she should have someone bathing her and burning incense for her every day. However, she has been in this mountain village with them for several days, but she has not had the chance to bathe. She must be feeling unwell.

Back then, when he had just left the palace and lived in this mountain village, he was not able to adapt for a while.

He acted decisively, pulled her out of bed, picked up his coat and casually put it on her, then opened the door and strode towards the back mountain with her.

There is a hot spring in the back mountain not far from the village. He usually bathes here.

It's just that various trivial matters have disturbed his thoughts in the past few days, and he didn't think of it for a while.

"If you feel itchy, go wash in the hot spring over there. I'll guard it for you and don't let anyone get close." He pointed at the spring and said coldly.

Li Shushu was still half drunk and half awake. She looked in the direction of his finger, grinned, and prepared to take off her clothes and go into the water.

Xia Muyan: ...

"You, take it off over there, not here." He quickly turned around, and his ears began to feel hot uncontrollably again.

"Oh," Li Shushu pouted, and really staggered to the hot spring to take off her clothes.

Perhaps because she was a little drunk, she didn't think too much about it. She just took off her clothes out of habit, leaving only the white silk bellyband embroidered with a lonely orchid and a white dress...

Then, she carefully tested the water temperature with her toes. When she found that it was just right, neither too cold nor too hot, she was delighted and couldn't wait to jump in with a splash, splashing a lot of water.
