After the incident of administering the drug, Su Qinghe went to the clinic for a check-up that same day.
This time, it was the old man's wife who took her pulse. Although she learned that there was nothing wrong with her body, she was still subtly reminded... not to overindulge in sexual activity...
Embarrassed, Su Qinghe returned from the clinic. After that day, she truly lived a life of abstinence for several days.
Her decision not to go made Ji Qingyu start to panic. She tried to probe several times, thinking that her recent poor performance had annoyed Ji Qingyu.
In the main hall, at the dining table.
Ji Yuan and Lin Xi sat together discussing the food for pregnant men, while Ji Qingyu sat alone on the other side of Su Qinghe.
Seeing that his two older brothers weren't paying attention to him, he sneakily moved closer to Su Qinghe, pressing his head against her ear.
"I recently learned a new dance. My lady, please come to Wei Rui Pavilion tonight, and I, Yu Ge'er, will dance it for you, shall I..."
Whether out of fear of being overheard by Lin Xi and Ji Yuan, or because she herself felt embarrassed, Ji Qingyu spoke in a very low voice, and immediately pulled her head back as if nothing had happened.
Su Qinghe paused, her hand holding the food paused as if her ear had been brushed by a feather.
Is this guy trying to seduce her?
She curled her lips slightly, but as if she hadn't heard, she continued eating with her head down, without even turning her head.
After waiting for a long time without any sound, Ji Qingyu looked slightly anxious, tilted her head slightly uncertainly, and looked at her sideways.
Seeing her eating with relish, he began to wonder if he was speaking too softly, causing her not to hear him.
"My lady?" He moved closer and reached out to tug at the hem of her dress.
"What's wrong?" Su Qinghe looked up at him with a smile.
Seeing that she seemed genuinely unaware, Ji Qingyu mustered her courage and repeated it again.
"Oh—I didn't know Yu-ge could dance!"
Su Qinghe deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her face showing surprise.
Feeling praised, Ji Qingyu blushed slightly and lowered her head, speaking in a barely audible voice.
“When I was little, my father hired a teacher to teach me, and I studied for several years…”
He glanced up to observe Su Qinghe's reaction, and seeing that she seemed very interested, he quickly added another sentence.
"Um...the teacher said I...danced very well, so would you like to come and see, my wife?"
When asked the last question, he nervously clenched his small handkerchief.
Did you jump very well?
Su Qinghe's eyes lit up, but her thoughts drifted off to some filthy place.
"Master Wife?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ji Qingyu called out anxiously.
Su Qinghe's thoughts were pulled back, but she did not immediately agree.
The seven-day health regimen she set for herself hasn't started yet.
Today is already the fifth day, and there are only two more days until we are done. How can we give up all our efforts because of such a small temptation?
Absolutely not!
"Why? Has my wife stopped liking Yu-ge'er so quickly?"
Seeing her unwavering refusal, Ji Qingyu's eyes reddened. The grievance and the shame of being rejected caused his body to tremble slightly.
"Is it because Yu-ge'er has been avoiding his wife lately that she's angry?"
"Please don't be angry, okay? I promise I won't avoid it anymore..."
He looked up and stared intently at Su Qinghe, hoping she could give him an answer.
Su Qinghe was stunned, taken aback by his rapidly changing emotions.
Seeing that the person in front of her was about to burst into tears if she didn't speak, she panicked and immediately reached out to cover his eyes.
"Stop!"
She shouted, startling Ji Qingyu so much that she trembled and forced back the tears that were about to fall.
"My lady, what's wrong with Yu-ge'er's eyes?"
The two people next to them were attracted by the sound. Seeing that Su Qinghe's large hand was covering Ji Qingyu's eyes completely, Lin Xi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's okay, I'm playing games with Brother Yu, you guys keep chatting."
Su Qinghe smiled and gave a perfunctory reply. Once the two people's gazes had left, she quickly took her hand away, revealing Ji Qingyu's somewhat dumbfounded eyes.
"My lady, why..."
Su Qinghe quickly interrupted him, looking regretful.
"Don't misunderstand, Brother Yu. It's just that my wife already agreed yesterday to go and accompany your Brother Xiao Xi."
Hearing that this was the reason, Ji Qingyu felt much better. She rubbed her sore eyes and perked up again.
"What about tomorrow night..." A blush crept onto his face again as he looked at Su Qinghe and blinked.
"Ahem!" Su Qinghe felt guilty under his gaze.
"I'm afraid tomorrow night won't work either. You see, in order not to show that the wife is biased, I have to go to your brother's place tomorrow, right? Or the day after tomorrow, I will definitely come to accompany you the day after tomorrow."
Taking advantage of his lack of intelligence, Su Qinghe brazenly deceived him.
Ji Qingyu thought about it and felt that Su Qinghe made sense. He was no longer an unreasonable person and still had to think about his wife and not be too spoiled.
Thinking of this, he quickly changed into a well-behaved and obedient demeanor.
"Yes, we really can't be biased. Let's do it the day after tomorrow then! I'll practice more when I get back."
Having successfully deceived her, Su Qinghe did indeed go to Lin Xi's courtyard tonight.
Spring Water Pavilion. (I forgot if I named Lin Xi's courtyard before, so I'll just pick one randomly now. I'm too lazy to go through each chapter. If any sisters remember, please remind me in the comments. (／_＼) What a grudge!)
Before Su Qinghe even entered the house, she saw Wenzhu coming out of the small kitchen.
"Master!"
Upon seeing Su Qinghe, Wenzhu quickly bowed and then gave her a sweet smile.
Su Qinghe glanced at him, responded, and went straight into the house.
To calm her mind, she has been sleeping in Cuihua Courtyard for the past few days, and has completely forgotten about Wenzhu.
I'll just ask about it today.
"The wife."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Su Qinghe asked the question directly.
"Deliver porridge?" Lin Xi thought for a moment and nodded.
“The porridge that day was indeed delicious. I noticed that my wife didn’t eat much for dinner that day, and when Wenzhu mentioned it, I let him go.”
“But he didn’t come back that night, and I thought…” Lin Xi said, glancing apologetically at Su Qinghe.
"But the next morning, several servants carried her back, saying she had fainted outside your room."
Wenzhu stood to the side, and when she heard Lin Xi mention what he thought, she clenched her hands nervously.
"Yes, it was a servant who discovered it that day."
Su Qinghe nodded, knowing that Lin Xi had misunderstood, and then explained.
She didn't tell the men what happened that night, partly because she didn't want them to worry, and partly because she felt ashamed herself.
Seeing that the topic had turned to her, and fearing that Su Qinghe might misunderstand something, Wenzhu spoke softly.
“Master, I didn’t mean to be lazy that day… I had already knocked on the door, but somehow I fainted. When I woke up, I had already been sent back to Chunshui Pavilion.”
He didn't mention that he had been knocked unconscious. Although he didn't know what the person was doing at the Su residence, or whether they were male or female, he couldn't afford to ruin his reputation.
If the head of the family feels that he has been... then he has absolutely no chance...
