"Take it with you. I won't cause you any trouble or disturb your rest tonight."

Upon hearing this, the others looked at him in surprise, then glanced at Gu Zuozuo, who had already started fetching medicine, and a thoughtful look flashed in their eyes.

Another stranger gave Gu Zuozuo and Ma Liang a deep look, then stepped forward, glanced at the woman whose complexion had improved, wrapped her in the blanket, and picked her up horizontally.

Si Jue stood quietly in the corner, a thin vine wrapped around the fingers behind her back.

A smile appeared in her eyes. Si Jue casually stroked the branches of the vine, noticing its increased excitement, and couldn't help but let her dimples reappear on her cheeks.

After seeing the others off, Gu Zuozuo turned to look at Si Jue, who was stubbornly refusing to leave in the corner, raised an eyebrow, and waved away the vines.

With this man around, her vines are hardly her own anymore.

How did you get here?

Si Jue blinked her big, innocent eyes, her gaze clear and bright.

"I'm here to work in the countryside."

Going to the countryside?

When heavy snow blocks the mountain passes, do you come to the countryside?

Are you sick in the head?

Si Jue smiled even more brightly, and the invisible tail behind him almost shook like a propeller.

"You don't have some ulterior motive, do you?"

"Can you stop seeing me as such a bad person? Try to think of me in a positive light; you might get a pleasant surprise."

Gu Zuozuo rolled her eyes, picked him up, and threw him out.

"You? Surprise? It's not even dawn yet, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After saying that, she slammed the door shut, leaving the man she couldn't understand outside.

It's always right to question him, stay away from him, and be wary of him.

Si Jue stared in astonishment at the tightly closed door, then chuckled and shook his head.

"She really is a hard person to approach. I guess only that idiot Claes could get close to her. Tsk, I'm suddenly feeling a little jealous."

Achoo!

The system rubbed its bald head in bewilderment, wondering how an AI could sneeze. This didn't seem to fit its identity.

Ma Liang's family.

Ma Jingjun looked at the sleeping woman in the room, then at the serious-looking man beside him, and his tone was not very polite.

Why did you bring her here?

The man frowned, glanced at his unconscious sister on the bed, and sighed.

“She causes a huge disturbance at home. If I don’t come with her, she comes over on her own. You should know that her family spoils her terribly. No one can stop her from doing what she wants.”

"You should leave tomorrow. There's no way we can be together. I have absolutely no interest in her."

The man smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"You like that educated youth who can treat illnesses?"

Ma Jingjun frowned deeply, and his eyes turned hostile.

“I don’t like anyone, but I will protect her with my life because she saved my mother, my nephew, and me. Without her, I would have been destroyed and turned into dust long ago. To say that I like her would be too superficial and too insulting to her.”

Upon hearing this, the man became serious, and looking at the solemnity on Ma Jingjun's face, he sighed inwardly.

It seems that no matter how much his sister makes a scene, Ma Jingjun will never marry her.

“I will try to persuade her, but you’d better not mention your savior in front of her, or she’ll go crazy.”

"Nian Ting, I advise you to keep a close eye on your sister, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when she dies."

Si Jue's leisurely voice sounded behind the two of them.

Nian Ting looked at him, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

This man has a very special identity, and his abilities are even more terrifying.

Si Jue glanced at Ma Jingjun and then gave a haughty snort.

This man isn't anything special, is he? Why would he get such a kind word from that person?

"Her status is so high that she could tear your house down and no one would dare to interfere. If you don't want to lose your current status as a young master, you'd better keep this troublemaker in check."

How is that possible?

Nian Ting looked at him with suspicion. Wasn't that girl an educated youth sent to the countryside? Did she have some powerful background that he and his family couldn't afford to offend?
