Xiao Qingyin was puzzled: "I'm not injured."
"Then how come there's blood here?"
Yi Shuihan pointed to the hem of her dress at the back.
Xiao Qingyin pulled at her clothes, turned her head, and glanced at them, suddenly realizing what was going on.
My period has started.
No wonder she had both abdominal pain and backache.
"It's nothing, it's just that my period is starting."
Yi Shuihan looked completely bewildered.
What is a simple life?
Um?
Xiao Qingyin turned around and patted his shoulder.
He said meaningfully, "Good boy, you'll understand when you grow up and get married."
Yi Shuihan: "???"
Who are you talking about? He's older than her!
"Couldn't you just tell me directly?"
"No," Xiao Qingyin said seriously, "You might die if you told me."
Yi Shuihan was even more puzzled.
Xiao Qingyin didn't give him a chance to get to the bottom of things and kicked him out.
Yi Shuihan returned to the Marquis's residence with a belly full of doubts.
Because the curfew had expired, he took the air route.
When he leaped back onto the roof of the Marquis's mansion, he found the main kitchen brightly lit, which aroused his suspicion.
He then leaped and landed at the kitchen doorway.
There was only one person working in the kitchen.
Yi Shuihan went inside and patted the person who was stuffing firewood into the stove.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The Marquis of Yong'an was completely focused on the fire in the stove. He was so startled by the sudden attack that he almost shoved his hand into the stove.
"Aren't you blind? I'm starting a fire!"
"Of course I know you're starting a fire, I just wanted to ask what you're doing here?"
Yi Shuihan glanced at the steaming pot on the stove.
"Why don't you just ask the cook to make whatever you want to eat? Why do you have to cook yourself?"
“What do you know?” Marquis Yong’an rolled his eyes at him. “This is brown sugar ginger soup I made for your mother.”
"Doesn't Mother not like sweets?"
"She's not feeling well; some brown sugar ginger soup will help."
Yi Shuihan was taken aback.
"Is Mother feeling unwell? I'll go see her."
As he spoke, he lifted his foot to walk out.
"Stop right there!"
The veins on the forehead of the Marquis of Yong'an throbbed.
"It's nothing serious, she's just having her period."
A simple life?
This is the second time Yi Shuihan has heard this word tonight.
"Dad, what exactly is a 'little life'?"
"you do not know?"
Should I know?
"..."
Seeing his son's puzzled expression and recalling his wife's suspicions, Marquis Yong'an couldn't help but feel worried.
Could this child really have some kind of mental or physical problem?
Otherwise, how could someone so old not know such common sense?
He sighed, "Go ask the imperial physician, and have him take your pulse while you're at it."
Yi Shuihan: "???"
He's not the one on his period, why is he taking his pulse?!
But the old man refused to tell him, so he had to go to the family doctor.
"Those are the few days that girls experience every month, that is, menstruation..."
Upon hearing the physician's explanation, Yi Shuihan blushed crimson.
Now I understand why Xiao Qingyin said he would die if he knew.
You will definitely die.
Society died.
...
Yun Wanyin also went to bed a little late tonight.
She hadn't seen Fu Junshi all day, and waited half the night, but he still hadn't returned.
When asked, the butler replied, "The master is resting in his study."
It was obvious that Fu Junshi was avoiding her.
It's hard not to laugh.
"Weren't you quite bold when you lied to me? How come you turned into a coward as soon as you were exposed?"
She called her maid over.
"Tell the master that I am not feeling well."
"Yes, madam."
The maidservant obeyed and left.
Just as Yun Wanyin lay back down on her bed, Fu Junshi rushed into the dormitory.
"Wanwan, where do you feel unwell?"
"The bed is too cold, I can't sleep."
Yun Wanyin complained.
"You didn't even warm my feet."
Fu Junshi's breath hitched.
Shock and ecstasy collided violently in his heart.
Wanwan has regained her memory and is still willing to share a bed with him. Does that mean...?
He had imagined this scene a thousand times, but never dared to hope it would become a reality.
After all, he was so despicable, deceiving her and possessing her for so many years. Even if she killed him, he would deserve it.
"What are you standing there for? Haven't you finished your work yet?"
Yun Wanyin was furious.
"I didn't see you this busy even in Liaodong, how come you have so many things to do when you come back to Beijing for a vacation?"
Fu Junshi swallowed hard and walked nervously toward the bed.
He silently removed his coat, lifted the covers and got into bed, and as always, pulled her feet into his arms.
Her feet were a little cold, but his heart was warm.
After covering his mouth for a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Wanwan, aren't you angry with me?"
"What's it to you?"
"I... lied to you."
"If time could turn back, back to the day I woke up with amnesia, would you tell me the truth and send me back to the Xiao family mansion?"
Yun Wanyin countered with a question.
"Won't."
Fu Junshi answered without hesitation.
Although every day he spent with her over the past ten years felt like a stolen moment, he never regretted doing so.
That was his only chance to take her away, how could he let it go?
He had been tempted by greed ever since the day she had the doctor save him.
However, she was a high-ranking young lady from a noble family, while he was a lowly stable boy whom even servants would humiliate.
This greed can never be spoken aloud; it can only be deeply hidden.
Upon learning that military merit could expel his status as a slave, he followed the Marquis to the battlefield without hesitation.
