But when she arrived at the scene of the accident, Wei Ting had already left. He was neither on the pleasure boat that rescued people nor in the Pearl Pavilion next door.

“I’m so angry!”

Princess Hui'an stamped her feet.

The news that Wei Ting became a monk in the Golden Palace was widely spread in the capital. This time he returned to the capital in a low-key manner and not many people knew the news.

The emperor did not let him return to the court immediately, perhaps with the intention of giving him a warning.

After this incident, Wei Ting’s whereabouts could no longer be hidden.

Back at Lihua Lane, Wei Ting asked Su Xiaoxiao to go back to the house to change clothes.

"I'll go boil some water."

After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen.

The weather in the capital is very strange. It doesn't seem that cold, but once you get into the water, you're freezing cold.

I was so busy saving people that I didn't notice that I was cold. Only after I got on the carriage did I start to shiver.

She took off her wet clothes and wrapped herself in a thick quilt.

After Wei Ting boiled the water, he lit a brazier and brought it in.

Su Xiaoxiao took a comfortable hot bath.

Wei Ting went to cook some ginger soup.

If Old Madam Wei knew about her grandson's actions, she would probably be terrified.

This spoiled brat actually knows how to take care of others? The first time Wei Ting cooked ginger soup, it was a little mushy and the taste was not good.

Looking at the blisters on his fingertips, Su Xiaoxiao sniffed her buzzing nose and drank the ginger soup in the bowl.

After she rested, Wei Ting returned to his room.

In the middle of the night, Wei Ting felt uneasy and came to check on her again.

Su Xiaoxiao still fell ill.

The time on the mountain was due to poisoning, so strictly speaking, this was the first illness Su Xiaoxiao had after coming to the other world.

Her forehead was hot and her face was flushed, but her hands and feet were a little cold.

Su Xiaoxiao wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and rubbed her forehead against Wei Ting's palm: "Wei Ting, I'm so cold."

Wei Ting frowned slightly, opened the cupboard, and found there were no extra quilts. So he went to the next room, took his own quilt, and covered Su Xiaoxiao with it.

"Is it still cold?" he asked.

"Yeah." Su Xiaoxiao nodded with a pale face.

The fat little peacock, who was so majestic during the day, now looks listless.

Wei Ting wrapped her tightly in the quilt and said, "I'll go get a doctor!"

Su Xiaoxiao said in a muffled voice: "No need, I am a doctor myself, there are medicines in the first aid kit, please help me get them out."

"Really? This one?" Wei Ting took out a first aid kit from the small backpack.

He often saw her taking medicine from here, it turned out to be called a first aid kit.

Su Xiaoxiao responded weakly: "There is a thermometer in the first pocket of the second layer. Give it to me."

Wei Ting had used a thermometer before and knew what it looked like, so he took it out and handed it to her.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know until she measured her temperature. She was shocked to find that it was 39.5 degrees. No wonder she felt so weak all over.

Wei Ting took out a plate of small white pills: "Do you want to take this?"

Xiaohu had toothache and high fever, so he took this medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Wei Ting asked, "How many?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied: "Two."

Wei Ting took two pills, put the bottle back, and went to the kitchen to pour some warm water.

Su Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, being very well behaved, with her pair of black eyes wide open, not knowing what she was looking at.

This is also what Xiaohu looked like when he had a high fever.

"Take medicine." Wei Ting said.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head slowly after a while: "No."

Wei Ting said: "You are a doctor, why don't you take medicine when you are sick?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I am not now."

Listen to what kind of childish tone is this? Are you confused?

Wei Ting sat down beside the bed: "What will it take for you to take the medicine?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.

Wei Ting looked at her deeply and said, "You don't want me to feed you mouth to mouth, do you?"

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head quickly and looked at him in shock: "So you want to feed me mouth to mouth?"

Wei Ting: How did he do what he wanted? Su Xiaoxiao finally sat up and took the medicine.

She took the medicine, but she refused to sleep, and her eyes were as big as bells.

Wei Ting gave her a strange look: "Aren't you sleepy?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm sleepy."

Wei Ting: "You're tired but still not sleeping?"

Su Xiaoxiao said stubbornly: "I won't sleep."

Wei Ting was helpless: "What happened this time?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "The medicine contains a tranquilizer. If I fall asleep, what if you try to do something bad to me? I will definitely not wake up."

It’s so late, and Old Man Su and the children haven’t come back yet. They must be spending the night outside.

There were only two of them left at home.

Did this girl think that he would take the opportunity to do something to her?

Wei Ting snorted sarcastically, "If I really wanted to do something to you, I could do it whether Dad and Ergou were at home or not. Why did I have to choose a time when you were sick? According to what you said, the effect of the medicine... you would have fallen asleep... what's the point?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Who knows? Maybe you just like this."

Wei Ting: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao was so sleepy that she kept yawning and refused to close her eyes.

Wei Ting was also convinced.

He turned off the oil lamp on the table, lifted the quilt and lay down.

Su Xiaoxiao complained: "You really can't wait!"

Wei Ting stretched out his arms and hugged the man into his arms: "Yes, I can't wait to do something bad to you, so you should fall asleep quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao leaned into his arms, resting her head on his chest, finding a comfortable position, and hummed, "I knew it!"

Wei Ting's lips curled up.

Wei Ting hugged her, his cold chin against her slightly hot forehead: "Sleep."

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her chubby little paw, touched his tight eight-pack abs, and fell asleep contentedly. ——It rained again at night.

Jing Yi stood at the entrance of Lihua Lane for a long time.

Bai Ze came over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Young Marquis, go back."

Jing Yi was caught in the rain and was soaked all over, with the rain sliding down his young and handsome cheeks.

"Bai Ze, why did she come to the capital?"

"This...I don't know."

"Is Wei Ting planning to marry her?"

They investigated what happened in the countryside and roughly figured out the whole story.

Wei Ting was hunted down by the Third Prince's men and was seriously injured. He was picked up by Miss Su's father Su Cheng.

It was also a coincidence that Miss Su had just been rejected by a boy from the next village.

Su Cheng then let Wei Ting become his son-in-law.

Wei Ting needs to recuperate and avoid being hunted down by the Third Prince, so he needs a covert identity. Being the "son-in-law" of the Su family is the most suitable person for him.

Bai Ze continued, "Perhaps he brought Miss Su to the capital to repay the Su family for saving his life."

Jing Yi asked: "Why not take him back to the Wei family directly?"

Bai Ze sighed: "Young Marquis, with Miss Su's status, she cannot be the daughter-in-law of the Wei family."

Being a concubine is bad enough, I can only be a mistress.
