You're jealous.
Su Yuexing stood at the door and dared not move when she saw this scene.
Li Jinghe asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Su Yuexing explained, "I heard that Li Wanxi brought people here to search Changshouyuan, so I came to take a look."
Li Jinghe said with a stern face, "The matter is over. You can leave now."
Su Yuexing scanned the room with her eyes and said, "Why don't I see him?"
Li Jinghe's hand slowly clenched. "You came here because you care about me or him?"
Su Yuexing didn't understand why he would suddenly ask that question.
Of course, Su Yuexing was concerned about Li Jinghe's injury, but looking at Li Jinghe's current state, she didn't know whether to tell the truth or a lie.
Su Yuexing's hesitation had already given him the answer.
Li Jinghe slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze was calm.
He pushed the wheelchair, turned the candlestick, and the hidden door opened.
Su Yuexing covered her mouth in surprise when she saw this.
“If anyone finds out about this place, I’ll make you wish you were dead,” Li Jinghe threatened.
Dongyang carried Xie Xuanye out, saying, "Young Master," and placed him on the bed.
"You may leave," Li Jinghe ordered.
Before leaving, Dongyang glanced at Su Yuexing. Why is the young mistress back again?
"Since you care about him so much, then you should stay here and take care of him. You can go back whenever he gets better."
“We happen to be short of a maid in the courtyard,” Li Jinghe said.
Su Yuexing frowned and said, "To be a maid?"
Li Jinghe glanced at her with a flippant look. "Why don't you want to?"
"Don't think that just because you married me and have been a lady in the Li household for a few days, you've forgotten who you are!"
Hearing him say that, Su Yuexing felt a surge of anger and raised her voice, saying, "Do you think this is the identity I wanted?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten my identity as a commoner, and I don't think there's anything shameful about it!"
"Surviving by one's own labor is the only way to survive in this world. I don't know what reason you rich kids have to look down on us!"
Su Yuexing finished speaking aggressively, looking like she was ready to be dealt with at your mercy.
Seeing that she was more emotional than usual, Li Jinghe realized that he had just said the wrong thing.
But words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.
"Clean this room now," Li Jinghe instructed.
Su Yuexing rolled up her sleeves to make it easier for her to work.
She held the broom and looked at the flowers and plants on the ground, feeling a pang of pity. She glared fiercely at the person next to her who was engrossed in reading.
Li Jinghe looked up and saw Su Yuexing hurriedly look away, then bend down to clean up the mess on the ground.
She planted flowers and plants in the yard and watered them so that you could thrive.
Li Jinghe saw Su Yuexing's actions through the window, and after she left, his gaze remained fixed on the newly planted plants.
Su Yuexing wiped the table and the floor, but she hadn't had a proper rest yet.
"Dongyang, give Young Master Xie's medicine to her to brew," Li Jinghe instructed.
"Huh?" Dongyang's expression was conflicted.
Su Yuexing stood up, took the medicine from his hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
Dongyang shook his head in confusion. What's wrong with the young master and his wife?
Li Jinghe watched her retreating figure and said, "I just want you to back down."
I'll let you go the moment you give in.
Su Yuexing's features scrunched up from the smoke, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "Cough cough cough!"
After making sure the medicine was ready, Su Yuexing brought in the decoction.
Seeing Xie Xuanye get up and talk to Li Jinghe.
"You're awake," she said with a smile.
Xie Xuanye was surprised to see her there.
"Here, drink your medicine quickly." Su Yuexing handed him the medicine in her hand.
Xie Xuanye looked flattered and said, "I am so lucky to have troubled the young mistress to personally prepare medicine for me."
Xie Xuanye took a sip, then refused with a pained expression, saying, "No! I won't drink this medicine."
Su Yuexing urged, "No! You have to drink it!"
"Good medicine tastes bitter. Only by taking the medicine will your injuries heal faster."
Xie Xuanye still disagreed, saying, "I'm healthy, I can get better even without medicine."
Li Jinghe remained expressionless throughout.
Su Yuexing comforted her, "Just drink it all in one gulp." Then she took out the honeydew melon she had prepared beforehand and said, "After you finish your medicine, hold this in your mouth and it won't be bitter."
Li Jinghe's gaze fell on the honey in her hand, watching the scene that had happened to him appear on someone else.
The more he looked at this woman, the more annoyed he became; she really knew how to deal with men.
I really want to ask her how many men she's used this trick on.
Xie Xuanye asked doubtfully, "Really?"
“If you don’t believe me, ask him,” Su Yuexing said, pointing at Li Jinghe.
Xie Xuanye was startled when he saw Li Jinghe's gloomy face. Who had offended this ancestor?
Li Jinghe took the candied fruit from Su Yuexing's hand and said, "You're a man, can't you even endure this little bit of hardship?"
Su Yuexing looked at his actions with some confusion, "Why did you take away the candied fruit I gave him?"
Xie Xuanye knew that he didn't want him to eat it, so he said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of bitterness."
After saying that, he drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp. After drinking it, his whole face looked as if it had been kneaded together.
Su Yuexing, watching from the side, also felt distressed and asked with a worried expression, "Are you alright?"
Xie Xuanye didn't want to talk right now, so he waved his hand.
Li Jinghe said, "Go down and cook."
Su Yuexing had no choice but to leave.
It took Xie Xuanye a while to recover. He looked at the candied fruit in his hand and pointed at it.
Li Jinghe popped the candied fruit into his mouth and looked at him calmly.
Xie Xuanye's eyes widened in anger, "She gave this to me!"
Li Jinghe said casually, "So what?"
“No? I mean, you…” He paused, as if he had realized something.
Xie Xuanye grinned mischievously and said, "You're not jealous, are you?"
These words stunned Li Jinghe. Was he jealous?
Xie Xuanye was as excited as if he had discovered a new continent, "Jing He! Do you like her?"
Li Jinghe lowered his eyes and murmured, "You like it?"
Xie Xuanye felt his mouth was no longer bitter, and his eyes were filled with a thirst for gossip. He asked, "When did you fall for her?"
What do you like about her?
"You've fallen for her, so how do you feel about Nianrou?"
Both of them were stunned when the question was asked.
Xie Xuanye covered his mouth, thinking to himself, "Why did I bring up something I shouldn't have said?" He glanced at Li Jinghe's ashen face.
He slapped his own mouth, secretly regretting his damned mouth.
"Being able to talk so much means your injuries have almost healed," Li Jinghe said.
"Why don't you just go back to your capital now?"
Xie Xuanye shook his head and said, "No, I won't say anymore."
Li Jinghe kept pondering Xie Xuanye's earlier words about liking him.
He touched his heartbeat, wondering if he had really fallen for her.
He slowly shook his head. No! Impossible! I could never fall for her!
It must be Xuan Ye's mouth that's spouting nonsense!
Su Yuexing finally finished preparing the meal, wiped the sweat from her face, and placed the food on the table.
Xie Xuanye's stomach rumbled uncontrollably as he smelled the food.
"Dinner's ready," Su Yuexing said.
Su Yuexing handed the porridge to Xie Xuanye and said, "You just woke up, have some porridge to warm your stomach."
Xie Xuanye looked at the porridge in his hand and said unwillingly, "Is this really all I can drink? But I'm so hungry."
Su Yuexing smiled and nodded, saying, "In a few days, you can eat vegetables and meat."
"Alright," Xie Xuanye said helplessly.
“Here, let me feed you,” Su Yuexing said.
Xie Xuanye was startled and glanced at Li Jinghe beside him, his eyes practically radiating murderous intent.
"No need, no need, young mistress, I can do it myself," Xie Xuanye said, stepping aside.
Su Yuexing said, "I am no longer a lady; I am a maid in this courtyard."
"So it's only right that I serve you meals." After saying that, she glanced at Li Jinghe beside her.
Before Xie Xuanye could react, Li Jinghe said, "Since you know you are a servant, then why don't you come over here quickly?"
Su Yuexing reluctantly walked over. "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Li Jinghe pointed to the dining table and said, "I want to eat that green vegetable."
Su Yuexing picked up some greens and fed them to him. "I want to eat that meat too," he said, pointing to the meat.
Su Yuexing did as she was told with a straight face, feeding the meat into his mouth.
Xie Xuanye sat on the bed, his eyes darting between the two of them, a smile on his face.
I must say, Uncle Li's luck in getting married is pretty good.
"I'm full," Li Jinghe said, unaware that he had eaten more than usual today.
He usually can't even finish a bowl of rice, but today he ate the whole bowl.
After serving him his meal, Su Yuexing finally had time to eat a few bites herself.
Fortunately, she had cooked a lot of food, and there was still some left. Su Yuexing ate it in big mouthfuls.
Watching her eat, Li Jinghe felt a strong appetite, and the food seemed delicious to him.
Su Yuexing looked up and saw that Li Jinghe was staring at her. She paused in her chewing and swallowed the food in her mouth.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.
Li Jinghe retorted stubbornly, "Who said I was looking at you? I was just looking at the food on the table."
Su Yuexing rolled her eyes at him. Did he think I was blind?
She had been busy for so long that her stomach was growling with hunger, and she didn't have time to argue with him.
Thanks to Su Yuexing's efforts, the food on the table was completely eaten.
"Hiccup." Su Yuexing hiccuped.
She nodded in satisfaction, her cooking skills hadn't deteriorated, and patted her slightly protruding belly.
“They ate quite a lot,” Li Jinghe said.
Su Yuexing said irritably, "What do you know? This is called being able to eat is a blessing."
Li Jinghe nodded and said, "Now that you're full, let's get to work."
"It just so happens that the yard hasn't been cleaned for a long time, so go and clean it up."
Su Yuexing glanced at him; he really didn't give her a moment's rest.
Su Yuexing tidied up the dishes and put them in the kitchen to wash.
She picked up a broom and began sweeping the yard.
Dongyang, who was standing outside the door, looked puzzled. What's wrong with the young master? Why did he let the young mistress come to clean the yard?
