fainted from hunger
Li Zhi casually reached out his hand and said, "Give me the divorce papers."
Su Yuexing slowly took out the divorce papers from her bosom, but Li Zhi snatched them from her hand.
"This isn't a letter of divorce! It's a divorce agreement!" Li Zhi exclaimed in shock.
A letter of divorce signifies that the woman has made a mistake in her husband's family and has been kicked out.
However, a divorce agreement means that the dissolution of the marriage is a voluntary matter for both spouses.
Li Zhi shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether keeping this woman around would be good or bad for Jing He.
Li Jinghe held a bowl of medicine in his hand, frowned, and drank it down.
Dongyang took the empty bowl and said, "The young mistress went to Qingfeng Temple and met with Master Huiyun."
"The two of them talked for almost an hour."
"Master Huiyun?" Li Jinghe asked.
Dongyang then explained, "It's the person who calculated your and the young mistress's birth dates."
"What did they talk about?" Li Jinghe asked.
Dongyang shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master Huiyun has gone on a journey."
Xie Xuanye came in from outside and asked with concern, "Jinghe, how are you feeling?"
Li Jinghe smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine now."
Xie Xuanye came to his bedside and said, "I really hope that this Divine Doctor Sai can cure your illness quickly!"
"I feel like he's got some skills!"
Li Jinghe said, "When you have free time, try to get closer to him."
Xie Xuanye suddenly became interested and asked, "What? You don't trust him?"
Li Jinghe replied, "Yes, his status is definitely not something my father can influence."
Hearing this, Xie Xuanye fell silent. After a while, he said, "Alright, Jinghe, I'll go over there whenever I have time to keep an eye on him for you."
"Thank you very much," Li Jinghe said.
Xie Xuanye patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing to thank me for!"
"It's no big deal!"
The two sisters returned to their room, with Su Yuexing looking preoccupied.
Su Yuewei breathed a sigh of relief. Great, she didn't have to go back to that awful place.
"Sister, don't be sad. It's fine to stay here," Su Yuewei comforted her.
Su Yuexing sighed helplessly and walked to the window. Could it be that I really can't escape the arrangement of fate?
As Su Yuexing stepped out of the room, Su Yuewei called out, "Sister! Where are you going!"
Su Yuexing paused, then said, "To Qingfeng Temple." She continued walking forward.
Su Yuexing arrived at the main gate, where a servant guarding the gate stopped her, saying, "Young Madam, the master has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the mansion."
Su Yuexing had no choice but to return, and she locked herself in her room for three days without eating or drinking.
Li Jinghe was feeding the fish in the fish tank when Dongyang came in from outside and said, "Young Master, the young mistress has locked herself in her room and hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days."
Li Jinghe's face darkened. What was she trying to do?
“Push me over there to take a look,” he said.
"Yes!" Dongyang pushed Li Jinghe toward Xinning Garden.
Zhou Yong, dressed in flamboyant attire, arrived at Xinning Garden. Hua Hong reached out to stop him, saying, "Young Master Zhou, this is the young mistress's courtyard. You cannot enter without her permission."
Zhou Yong stepped forward and said in a kind voice, "My dear Hua Hong! I came here to see her!"
"Please, have some compassion and let me in to see her!"
Hua Hong subconsciously stepped back, smelling the pungent scent of rouge and powder on him, and forced herself to suppress her discomfort, saying, "Young Master Zhou, it's not that I don't want you to go in, but even if you go in, you won't see my young mistress."
"Why?" Zhou Yong questioned.
Hua Hong explained, "Because the young mistress has been locking herself in her room and won't see anyone."
“We bring her food, but she won’t eat it.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong looked anxious and said, "How can that be done!"
"How can my body withstand not eating or drinking!"
Hua Hong said with a worried expression, "There's nothing we can do."
Li Jinghe saw a woman's back as she stood at the entrance of Xinning Garden, talking to Hua Hong.
When Dongyang pushed him closer, he frowned. The pungent smell emanating from Zhou Yong made him uncomfortable.
Zhou Yong looked at Li Jinghe's weak body, but his handsome face made him swallow hard.
“Cousin Jinghe, you’ve come to see Yuexing too,” he said.
Dongyang was somewhat shocked to see the young master in this state.
Li Jinghe ignored Zhou Yong's words and instead said to Dongyang behind him, "Push me in."
Before Dongyang could even exert any force, Zhou Yong snatched Li Jinghe's wheelchair and pushed Dongyang aside.
"Let me do it." Zhou Yong said, pushing Li Jinghe into Xinning Garden.
Dongyang and Huahong exchanged a glance, and from each other's eyes, they came to the same conclusion: What's wrong with him?
The pungent smell made Li Jinghe extremely uncomfortable, and he said with a gloomy expression, "Stop!"
Dongyang, who was walking behind, immediately stepped forward and snatched the bag from Zhou Yong's hand. "Young Master, I'll take care of things here. Young Master, you should go and attend to your own business."
Zhou Yong covered his mouth, looking shy, and said, "What could I possibly be busy with?"
"I just came to see Yuexing."
Hearing what he said, Dongyang shuddered.
Li Jinghe turned to Hua Hong beside him and asked, "Do you know why she's not eating?"
Hua Hong shook her head and said, "This servant does not know."
Li Jinghe knocked on the door, "Knock knock knock!"
There was no sound from inside the room, so he pushed open the door and said, "Su Yuexing?"
Dongyang pushed him into the room and saw Su Yuexing lying on the bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt.
Dongyang pushed Li Jinghe to the bedside.
"Get up and eat!" Li Jinghe said with a stern face.
Su Yuexing did not react.
Li Jinghe pulled back the blanket, revealing a pale face. Startled, he patted her face and said, "Su Yuexing! Wake up!"
"Dongyang! Go quickly and call for Sai Taxue!"
Dongyang ran away quickly.
Hua Hong said anxiously, "Young Madam! What's wrong? Don't frighten me!"
Zhou Yong also approached with a worried expression, clicking his tongue and saying, "My little sister Yuexing, could she have starved to death?"
Li Jinghe gave him a cold look and said, "Shut up!"
Zhou Yong was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth and muttered, "He looks fierce!" Li Jinghe was too busy to pay attention to him.
Li Jinghe took Su Yuexing's pulse, and seeing her weak face, he withdrew his hand. She really had fainted from hunger.
"Hua Hong, prepare some light meals for the young mistress," he instructed.
"Yes." Hua Hong went down.
Zhou Yong, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Cousin! You can even diagnose illnesses by taking a pulse!"
"Come here! Let me see what's wrong with my cousin's body," Zhou Yong said, extending his hand.
Li Jinghe said coldly, "Get out!"
Seeing his murderous face, Zhou Yong could only retreat in frustration. Despite being handsome, he had a habit of giving people the cold shoulder.
Looking at Su Yuexing's face, Li Jinghe slightly tightened his grip on her hand, "You would rather starve yourself than stay by my side!"
Why!
Open your eyes and tell me why!
Su Yuexing felt the pain and frowned slightly.
Sai Taxue came in from outside and saw Su Yuexing lying on the bed. Li Jinghe said, "You can go back now."
Dongxi, standing behind them, said with a displeased look, "Are you kidding us!"
Li Jinghe said, "She just fainted from hunger, she's fine."
Sai Taxue stepped forward and stood next to him. She noticed the red mark on Su Yuexing's wrist and then looked at Li Jinghe.
"If you feel sorry for her, why did you hurt her?" Sai Taxue said, lifting Su Yuexing's wrist.
Li Jinghe glanced at the red mark indifferently and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
Sai Taxue laughed. "Since there's nothing for me to do, I'll head back."
After they left, Li Jinghe quietly looked at Su Yuexing on the bed.
He clutched his chest, realizing he had forgotten his medical skills due to his panic.
Could it be that I've really fallen for her? Li Jinghe narrowed his eyes slightly. She can influence my emotions!
The fact that his emotions could be controlled by others made Li Jinghe particularly unhappy.
The reason he kept her was that he didn't want his father to find another woman for him.
I never thought about it from a romantic perspective, but now I actually feel that keeping her around is a bad thing.
While Li Jinghe was thinking, Su Yuexing slowly opened her eyes and was stunned to see him appear in front of her.
Li Jinghe picked up the bowl of porridge that had been prepared beforehand and handed it to her, saying, "Eat."
Su Yuexing nodded weakly, trying to take it, but Li Jinghe dodged her, saying, "I'll feed you."
He scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then brought it to Su Yuexing's lips.
Su Yuexing was stunned, looking at Li Jinghe in front of her with a sense of bewilderment.
She took it from his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."
Li Jinghe's face darkened, and he said, "You despise me that much?"
Su Yuexing quickly shook her head and said, "No! I didn't mean that!"
"Then what do you mean?" Li Jinghe questioned.
Su Yuexing didn't answer, but forced herself to drink the porridge in the spoon, and then cautiously looked up at Li Jinghe.
Li Jinghe scooped the porridge to the brim, and Su Yuexing ate it silently. This continued until the bowl of porridge was empty.
Seeing that the bowl was empty, Li Jinghe said, "Another bowl, please."
Su Yuexing quickly replied, "No need, I'm already full."
Li Jinghe asked threateningly, "Hmm?"
Su Yuexing had no choice but to weakly change her words, saying, "Actually, I can still eat it."
Hua Hong quickly brought out another bowl, which Li Jinghe fed to Su Yuexing.
Fifteen minutes later, Su Yuexing let out a burp, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she awkwardly covered her mouth.
Li Jinghe smiled slightly, put down the empty bowl, and said, "Afterwards, move to Changshou Garden and live with me."
Su Yuexing asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because you don't eat properly, I have to keep an eye on you all the time!" Li Jinghe explained.
Su Yuexing said with a displeased look, "No!"
Li Jinghe had already anticipated her refusal, and changed the subject, saying, "Didn't you get the divorce papers and were going to leave?"
Mentioning this, Su Yuexing's mood sank, and she lowered her head, saying, "Your father stopped me and wouldn't let me leave."
"And he also took the divorce papers."
She suddenly looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, "Why don't you write me another letter, and I'll leave when I have a chance!"
Li Jinghe's face remained expressionless, but inwardly she was gritting her teeth; she still hadn't given up on the idea!
"Of course!" Li Jinghe said with a forced smile.
