Gu Jiangli smiled bitterly: "Then Lotus will know that I followed her all the way, and she will also know that you and I were eavesdropping by the door. Our glorious image will collapse and be destroyed."
"Didn't you hear? She said I'm the best person ever. She's praising me like that in public, and I'm really embarrassed to do something like that."
Xie Shiyan smiled somewhat helplessly, "Alright, then I'll ask another question."
He looked at Gu Jiangli with a hint of mockery, "The Xie family's miracle medicine, how do you explain that? Our family actually has medicine that can heal wounds completely, how come I didn't know?"
Gu Jiangli sighed deeply again, her shoulders slumping even more.
Looking ahead, he asked weakly:
"How can I explain this? How can I possibly explain it?"
"I told Lotus that this medicine belonged to you because I couldn't explain where it came from, so I could only attribute its origin to you."
"If you ask me again, I'll have to blame it on the gods."
"Actually, it was a deity who took pity on me and sent it to me in my dream in the middle of the night. Do you believe it?"
Xie Shiyan looked at her tenderly without saying a word, and the smile on his lips never faded.
The two kept walking.
Xie Shiyan's silence surprised Gu Jiangli.
She stopped walking, and Xie Shiyan also stopped and stood beside her.
"Aren't you going to ask again?"
She found it strange.
She originally thought that Xie Shiyan would definitely deny her absurd statement.
But he didn't.
Xie Shiyan asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"You really believe that medicine was a gift from a deity?"
I don't believe it.
"Then why don't you keep asking?"
Xie Shiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, paused, and gave Gu Jiangli an answer that he could not deny:
"I've known for a long time that you're not simple."
"ah?"
Xie Shiyan pulled her along and continued walking towards home.
Do you still remember that Vice General Li who once coveted your beauty?
“After his accident, I interrogated several of his men, and they all said that when you were sent to the military camp, your shoulder was covered in blood and flesh, and you were indeed injured.”
"But after you were imprisoned for a few days and conspired with me to enter the capital, your injuries healed in just one month, without even a scar."
“I never saw a doctor for you, yet your injuries healed, which is incomprehensible.”
Gu Jiangli nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's incredible, so you should be even more suspicious, right? Why aren't you curious?"
"Because I didn't care before, but now I don't mind. I don't mind if you hide something from me, because no matter what the answer is, you can't hurt me."
Gu Jiangli exclaimed, "...Wow, you're really unique when you're so confident that you hold an unparalleled place in my heart."
"Don't joke around."
I'm serious.
"What do you plan to do about the lotus flower?"
"I need to know what my wet nurse plans to do first."
"She's cunning from head to toe, but your Lotus is completely naive and has been fooled by her."
“I know, so I’m trying to help Lotus see her mother’s true colors.”
"What method?"
"I'm still thinking about it."
Bathed in moonlight, the two walked slowly towards their home.
