Apart from Su Qinghe's panting, Ling Feng made almost no sound inside the room; even when he did, it was only a very soft groan.
Xiaoying diligently guarded the door from the shadows, while Wenzhu lay unconscious beside her.
The noise inside the house continued until dawn.
After listening intently for a while, and confirming that everyone inside was asleep, Xiaoying pushed open the door and dragged Ling Feng out from under Su Qinghe.
When he saw the bruises all over her body, his eyes were filled with heartache. He turned and glared at Su Qinghe, who was sleeping like a dead pig, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Young Master?"
Gathering his thoughts, Xiaoying called out softly twice, but seeing that the person was not awake, he quickly wrapped the person in his clothes.
Just as he was about to step out of the gate of Cuihua Court, he heard a weak voice from the man in his arms.
"Wait... let's go after she wakes up..."
Ling Feng closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, as if even speaking was difficult for him.
"Yes, young master."
Xiaoying instantly understood Ling Feng's intention. She carried him back into the house, glanced at Su Qinghe who was still breathing heavily, and found a secluded corner to put Ling Feng down.
After thinking for a moment, he went out again and took the porridge that the servant had been carrying.
Perhaps due to excessive sweating, Ling Feng's lips were somewhat chapped. The tea in the room was no longer usable, but drinking some porridge would help replenish his fluids.
In recent days, they have often noticed that someone is watching them in the dark. They don't need to guess to know that it is Qiu Shan's people. They come and go here frequently, and those people must have already gone back to report.
If they leave now, they will definitely take the opportunity to kill Su Qinghe.
On a few tree branches outside the house.
The men in black, who were about to rush in, pulled their feet back down when they saw the two men return to the house.
"Boss, why aren't they coming out yet?"
Looking at the quiet room, one person couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Wait a little longer," the woman referred to as the leader replied.
After a while, the people inside seemed to have no intention of coming out.
"Why don't we rush in? I saw that Young Master Chang seemed to be injured. Although Xiao Ying is good at martial arts, there are too many of us, so he shouldn't be able to stop us."
The first person spoke again, already prepared to jump at any moment.
"No, the eldest young master has probably noticed. If we force our way in, we might hurt him."
The woman raised her hand, making a still gesture.
"Send someone back to the pavilion to inform Miss Qiu that the eldest son has lost his virginity. See if Miss Qiu wants to keep him."
"yes."
One person left, even though they knew it was highly unlikely, but the others still waited outside for the person inside to leave.
Another hour passed, and the sky brightened. Noticing that Su Qinghe was showing signs of waking up, Xiao Ying quickly picked up Ling Feng again and flipped him out the window.
"..."
Su Qinghe opened her eyes with a "whoosh" and looked around, but she couldn't find the man's figure.
"They've left?"
"Does he not want me to take responsibility, but just have a crush on me? Does he want a casual fling with me?"
She had the idea, but when she looked down and saw the red stain on her white undergarment, she dismissed it.
That was his blood. It was his first time. If that was the case, how could he so casually do such a thing with a strange woman?
Su Qinghe thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Seeing that it was getting late, she quickly went to the wardrobe and found a piece of clothing to put on.
"Sigh! I never thought that even here I would be used this method by a man."
Su Qinghe sighed. Although she had been in charge of this matter from beginning to end, it wasn't something she did willingly!
Once everything was cleaned up, she acted as if nothing had happened, calmly instructing the servants who had come to attend to her to bring in bathwater.
"Master, Wenzhu has fainted in the corridor!"
Suddenly, a servant carrying a broom rushed over.
Su Qinghe frowned. If it wasn't him yesterday, then it must be a coincidence. She would ask Lin Xi about it later.
"Send the person back to the magistrate and have a doctor examine him."
"yes."
The man summoned several servants who carried the person out of Cuihua Courtyard.
...
Ten Miles of Fragrance.
Ling Feng lay unconscious on the bed, completely naked, while Xiao Ying gently applied a box of ointment to his body.
After finishing the upper body, he shifted his focus to the legs, but couldn't bear to look at them and looked away.
His son is really suffering!
That drug was truly potent, enough to drive a woman to such madness.
His young master's wounds have become infected.
He paused, then turned back to apply the medicine with utmost care.
The person on the bed trembled slightly, but quickly calmed down.
As night fell, Ling Feng developed a fever.
Because there was no fever reducer, Xiaoying was so busy that she barely had time to breathe. Afraid that someone might try to assassinate her, she dared not leave and had to ask the waiter to bring in a basin of hot water.
After a whole night of work, Ling Feng's fever finally subsided.
...
"Has there been any movement from the Su family recently?"
Ling Feng held the bowl of medicine and gently blew on it to warm it.
Since that night, he has stayed at Shili Xiang for five days, and apart from necessary business, he has basically not left his room.
"Su Qinghe has been attacked by several waves of assassins from the Seven Kill Pavilion in the past few days, but she has escaped unharmed. Nothing else has happened."
Xiaoying thought for a moment, then spoke again. "She came to Shili Xiang yesterday to check on their business."
"knew."
Ling Feng responded lightly, reached out to test the temperature of the bowl, and after finding it suitable, drank the medicine in one gulp.
"Keep watching, but don't get too close, or she'll spot you."
After wiping his mouth, Ling Feng poured out a small pill from the porcelain bottle next to him.
"Why are there only a few left? Quickly send a message to Bai Xiaojiu to have someone send some more over."
Looking at the two remaining pills in the bottle, Ling Feng frowned almost imperceptibly.
"Young master, this is a potent medicine to prevent miscarriage. Taking too much can harm the fetus. Miss Bai said it can only be taken for seven days, so she only gave this much."
Xiaoying took the medicine bottle and capped it.
"It's only been five days, young master, don't be impatient. Besides, this medicine isn't guaranteed to work."
"The most important thing for you to do these next few days is to take good care of your health."
"Um."
Ling Feng responded softly, his hand unconsciously touching his lower abdomen, before he got up and walked to the bedside.
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything." He paused, then added, "Give me extra money tonight and have the restaurant make some chicken soup."
"yes."
Xiaoying agreed and went downstairs to the kitchen.
When it was time for dinner, sure enough, there was a bowl of chicken soup on the table.
Ling Feng felt a bit stuffy after drinking only half a bowl, but he still insisted on drinking it all the way down.
