After sorting the pills in his hand, Xia Shizhao was a little conflicted. How should he deliver these to Ye Qiuling in the solitary confinement room?

Xia Shizhao felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the solitary confinement room the nanny had described. It was a dark room where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, with no windows, no vents, and excellent soundproofing, so you couldn't hear any outside noise. There were also three boxes inside filled with a dense array of arthropods.

Ye Qiuling, who had been caught in a downpour, was taken there by bodyguards without even changing her clothes.

Xia Shizhao swallowed hard. Why would the Xia family have such a place? Who is it used to punish? Xia Shizhao?

Sitting on the bed, Xia Shizhao shivered and hugged himself.

As night deepened and everyone returned to their rooms to rest, Xia Shizhao furtively opened the door, hesitated for a moment looking at the door of the solitary confinement cell, and then unlocked it with his thumb.

He picked up his phone to shine the light and glanced inside. Listening to the sounds of arthropods climbing, Xia Shizhao instantly got goosebumps all over.

Looking down, Xia Shizhao saw Ye Qiuling sitting against the wall, her face flushed and her lips cracked and bleeding. He quickly took out the energy liquid and medicine from his pocket and fed them to her.

Unsure of the drug's effects, Xia Shizhao looked at her nervously, glancing around every now and then.

The system agreed to help Ye Qiuling slightly without anyone seeing or knowing, a condition that Xia Shizhao had begged for a long time to obtain. The system was already reluctant and could not possibly agree to her request to take someone to the hospital.

But judging from Ye Qiuling's current condition, she is quite ill. Is it really okay for her not to go to the hospital?

"warn!"

Xia Shizhao had just picked her up when he was electrocuted and his vision went black for a long time, causing Ye Qiuling to fall to the ground along with him.

Helplessly, she put the person down and squatted on the ground, observing Ye Qiuling's flushed face for a long time. She silently apologized in her heart, knowing she was truly powerless to help. Besides, the female lead eventually rose to such a position; such a minor cold shouldn't... cause any major problems, right?

Out of concern, Xia Shizhao repeatedly applied cooling patches to her forehead and felt the temperature drop slightly. Xia Shizhao then thoughtfully placed the divided pills and a bottle of water beside Ye Qiuling. After doing all this, Xia Shizhao, afraid of being discovered, secretly ran back to his room and collapsed.

Those who know the truth might think they're doing a good deed, while those who don't might think they're committing a thief.

She lay sprawled on the bed, unable to resist thinking to herself, "Taking care of someone is really tiring; it's left my back aching."

The next day, Xia Shizhao sat on the bed, looking at the nanny who came in with a blank expression.

"Miss, what would you like to wear? We'll help you get dressed."

Several nannies walked in, each carrying two pieces of clothing.

"Wait a minute, all of you get out!" Seeing all the nannies standing there blankly, Xia Shizhao snapped, "Didn't you hear me? All of you get out!"

Seeing that Xia Shizhao was really angry, all the nannies pushed and shoved their way out of the house.

Xia Shizhao, lying on the bed, rubbed his forehead in exasperation. These people really only leave the house when they're angry. What was the original owner like at home? It felt like his way of getting along with these people was all very strange.

She pursed her lips, glanced at the clothes on the bed, and found that they were all luxurious formal wear. She rolled her eyes without any politeness.

She stood up and grabbed a piece of clothing that she liked to change into.

When he arrived at the dining table, he found that Xia's mother was already sitting down to eat. She glanced up at Xia Shizhao and frowned slightly: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Xia Shizhao glanced at his clothes: a loose and comfortable hoodie and jeans, nothing wrong with them.

"Where are the clothes I just had the nanny bring you?"

Xia's mother put down her knife and fork and stared at Xia Shizhao, who had just sat down, somewhat displeased: "Today we're going to General He's 80th birthday celebration. What kind of behavior is this, dressed like this!"

Xia Shizhao was puzzled. No wonder everyone was wearing formal dresses earlier. She was wondering if the original owner had gone crazy, wearing formal dresses even at home. She went to the closet and found that they were all fancy dresses. She searched for a long time and finally found the pants and sweatshirts in a corner. She felt that the original owner must have liked them, otherwise she would have kept them in her room's closet instead of throwing them away.

"I forgot, I'll change it after I finish breakfast."

She looked up at Xia's mother across the three-meter-long table and said in a gentle manner.

Looking at the steak in front of her, Xia Shizhao thought: "I'd rather have a fried dough stick and soy milk than eat a rare steak so early in the morning."

After barely finishing breakfast, Xia Shizhao looked up at his mother and said, "My sister didn't do it on purpose yesterday, please let her out."

"You've given her a fever, let her stay in solitary confinement for a week."

Xia's mother treated Ye Qiuling, a beta, with extreme indifference. She stood up and slowly walked to Xia Shizhao's side, leaned down and whispered in his ear, a gentle smile on her face, "Your body should be alright now, right? You should do your best."

"Hmm? You're feeling much better. You'll do your best."

Xia Shizhao was baffled by her words, but dared not answer. What should he do? What should he do?

Why not give her the original owner's memories, leaving her bewildered by these unexpected situations?

Mrs. Xia was satisfied. She stood up and clapped her hands. The nannies, receiving the signal, lined up, each holding a different kind of dress.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shizhao silently thought to himself: "They really have a lot of prestige."

Among the dazzling array of gowns, Xia Shizhao's lips twitched. She could only choose the most understated one. The others were either adorned with large rhinestones or featured exposed cleavage and legs. She couldn't bear the thought of wearing those clothes and being unable to make any big movements.

Xia Shizhao, having changed her clothes, walked out, causing everyone waiting in the living room to hold their breath. A chain made of pale pink and white orchids supported the weight of the entire dress, and her fair neck was no less beautiful than the white orchids beside her. The rhinestones adorning the pale pink long dress sparkled under the lights.

Seeing Xia Shizhao's outfit, Xia's mother was satisfied and nodded, gesturing to the person standing behind her, "Go and style Miss's hair."

She was a pretty female beta who looked at Xia Shizhao with a neither arrogant nor humble smile. "Miss Xia, please take me to your dressing room."

Xia Shizhao had no idea where the dressing room was. She turned to the nanny and pointed to the one who looked most familiar, "You, take her there. I'll have a drink of water first."

"Yes, Miss."

The nanny bowed slightly to indicate that she understood, and led the stylist to the dressing room.

Xia Shizhao took a leisurely sip of water, his eyes drifting in the direction they had gone. Just as they were about to disappear from sight, Xia Shizhao casually put down his cup and chased after them.

The clatter of high heels masked Xia Shizhao's light footsteps, while the two people in front of him chatted and laughed.

Xia Shizhao pricked up his ears and followed them furtively, trying to hear what they were saying.

"Does Miss have any triggers? I'm afraid of upsetting her."

The stylist asked.

The nanny hesitated for a moment, and after receiving the stylist's money, she whispered a reminder, "Miss is very good-natured when the master and mistress are at home, so don't worry. Just don't hurt her. Talk less and do more, and nothing will happen."

Xia Shizhao stroked his chin. She was good in front of the master and his wife. No wonder the nannies were used to her unpredictable moods.

So the innocent and naive character was meant for external audiences, while the unreasonable and spoiled behavior was meant for internal ones. She understood.
