I took my medicine obediently last night, and it's warm in this room, so there's no way I'll get sick again.
Wanruo pursed her lips and said, "I'm almost well now. Why don't I go first? It's not good for me to stay here."
"What are you going to do? The old lady knows you're ill, and she told you to take good care of yourself. I've already asked Su Yue to stay with you, and tell you that you need to rest and recuperate, and to close the door and refuse visitors. No one will come to disturb you, so you can just stay here and take care of yourself."
Xie Xianyu said as he casually brought the medicine that had been simmering on the stove over to her and handed it to her: "Drink the medicine first."
Wanruo had no choice but to take it and drink it.
After drinking the medicine, he took another candied fruit and brought it to her lips.
She frowned. Did he think she was a child?
She turned her head away: "I don't want to eat."
He raised his eyebrows slightly and put the candied fruit on the plate.
"Don't you go out today?" she asked him.
"Take a day off and stay at home with you."
Who wants him to accompany you?
"If you have the strength, get up and move around. Lying in bed all the time will only make you weak," said Xie Xianyu.
Wanruo lay on the bed: "I don't have the strength."
He glared at her. This girl was becoming more and more spoiled.
Never mind, she is still sick, so let her be.
Xie Xianyu pulled the quilt over her: "Then you sleep a little longer."
After that, he stood up and sat down behind the desk to read the files.
Wanruo turned over in bed, her mind was in a mess and she felt very upset.
After a long time of fussing and struggling, Xie Xianyu didn't know what was going on. It was as if he had suddenly set his eyes on her, not giving her any chance to breathe.
If this continues, how long will it take?
She frowned and thought, "No, this cannot be delayed any longer. Otherwise, if he really takes a concubine, she will be tied here for the rest of her life."
It's not like she sold herself to the Xie family as a maid, nor is it that Xie Xianyu can do whatever he wants. If that's the case, all she wants is a peaceful separation. If it really doesn't work out, she will go through with it even if it means risking everything.
Cuizhu came in and said, "Sir, the eldest lady wants you to go to Qingfeng Pavilion."
"Why?" Xie Xianyu didn't even raise his head.
Cuizhu lowered her voice: "It seems that Miss Jiang is here."
Wanruo suddenly opened her eyes.
"Just say I'm busy." Xie Xianyu said in a light voice.
Cuizhu was a little embarrassed: "The eldest lady said it was extremely important. Aunt Zhang is still waiting outside. She said that you must go over there. If you don't go, I'm afraid the eldest lady will come directly."
Xie Xianyu glanced towards the bed and said in a deep voice, "I'll be there in a minute."
"yes."
Xie Xianyu stood up and walked to the bedside. "I'll go over there. You rest first. If you need anything, go find Cuizhu."
Wanruo responded sullenly, "I understand."
Only after hearing Xie Xianyu's footsteps leaving did Wanruo open her eyes and sit up from the bed.
She dressed neatly and went out.
Cuizhu was about to come in to bring her some ginseng soup, but when she saw her get up, she was startled: "Why are you up, young lady? Do you want to go for a walk in the garden?"
"I'm going to go first."
Cuizhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why are you asking for help out of the blue?"
"I'm almost well now. It's not convenient for me to stay here any longer. If he asks you, just say that I insisted on leaving."
Wanruo didn't want to stay, so she walked out.
Cuizhu couldn't stop it at all, so she had to let it go.
Wanruo went out from the corner gate as usual, then walked into the secluded path among the rockery in the garden, and finally came out of the garden after many twists and turns.
She didn't meet anyone along the way, so she breathed a sigh of relief and then slowed down her pace as she walked from the garden to her own yard.
But suddenly, I heard a few little maids whispering behind the flower tree.
"Really?! Are you sure it's the eldest son?!"
"I saw it for real! I wasn't the only one who saw it last night. Madam Liu also saw it. The eldest son was carrying a woman to Songhe Garden."
Wanruo paused and the blood in her body stopped.
