After relaxing their muscles and stretching, the two sisters went to Gu Nian's room for a bath.
Looking at Gu Xin's skinny little body and then at her own well-developed body, Gu Nian felt a pang of heartache and once again despised the original owner's family of three.
The female protagonist in the book, Gu Xin, truly loves Lu Zheng and is willing to give up everything, even her life, for him.
Gu Nian felt that it was because the female protagonist in the book, Gu Xin, lacked love. She did not receive love from her parents and sister when she was young. The only people who were kind to her were her grandparents. After being sold, the first customer she met was Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng only showed a little bit of love and kindness, which was enough to make Gu Xin, who was starved of love, devote herself to him.
But now that the trio of time travelers have arrived, Gu Xin won't be lacking in love anymore. So, that bastard Lu Zheng probably won't win over her Xin Xin's heart so easily.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Gu Xin asked, seeing that Gu Nian was lost in thought and started to laugh.
The two sisters were soaking in a wooden tub, sitting opposite each other. Gu Nian came back to her senses and said, "Sister is laughing at you for almost growing into a young lady."
After saying that, he looked down at Gu Xin's chest.
Gu Xin looked down and her face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and stammered, "No, no. Sister, you're not allowed to talk nonsense."
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense! Turn around, I'll rub your back!" Gu Nian didn't rush to tease the little girl and moved forward a bit.
"Ouch! Ah! Sister, that hurts! Ouch!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you have to endure the pain. The beads of sweat you've rubbed off your back would be thicker than a city wall if they were piled up!"
"Be gentle! Sis! Ouch! Ah!..."
...
Zhoujia Town, Zhou Mansion.
Lu Zheng, who had been severely beaten and then stood in the rain for more than an hour, fell ill.
He is no longer the battle-hardened Lu Zheng of the past; he is now just a miserable young man left to fend for himself in the old house because of his stepmother.
So, he couldn't withstand the beating or the rain, and after being found and taken home by Jixiang, he developed a high fever.
Master Zhou invited a doctor from the town, but after a night, there was no improvement. He then sent people to the county to invite several more doctors, but none of them were of any use.
"Xin'er, Xin'er..." Lu Zheng called out Xin'er in his daze.
"Who is Xin'er?" Master Zhou asked, glaring at Ji Xiang.
"Reporting to Master, I don't know either. Recently, apart from asking the Gu family to help with farming a couple of days ago, the young master hasn't been in contact with anyone else. He's just been wandering around the surrounding villages and estates." Jixiang trembled with fear at Master Zhou's angry expression.
"Master, Master Qin has arrived!" At this moment, Butler He Er led in a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes.
"Master Qin, come quickly and take a look at Yuanyuan. The doctor said that if his high fever doesn't go down, he might not make it." Master Zhou quickly pulled the middle-aged man, Master Qin, to the bedside.
Master Qin was a tall, thin man with a square face and an unremarkable appearance. He was also the sorcerer that Master Zhou had always believed in.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a group of people who could help people predict good or bad fortune, provide feng shui advice, catch ghosts, and even cure diseases. They were known as sorcerers by the people of the Great Zhou.
Back when Lu Zheng's only daughter, Master Zhou's, mother died, Master Qin had already warned Master Zhou that something bad was about to happen.
Therefore, after that, Master Zhou always trusted Master Qin.
"Master Zhou, have someone bring some strong liquor to wipe the young master's body, add two more quilts, and then..." Master Qin said after inspecting the situation.
