On the golden silk bed, Lin Ruoyan lay quietly, her pale face supported by her hands, letting out a few faint sobs.
Gu Qianlu frowned slightly, turned to look at Chen Jinheng sitting comfortably in the armchair opposite her, and asked with concern,
"Husband, has Miss Lin always been so weak?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng paused in his book-turning, giving Gu Qianlu a deep look.
"No, it's only recently become like this."
After saying that, the man continued to flip through the book in his hands.
Seeing his serious expression and focused gaze, Gu Qianluo decided not to disturb him any further.
While Lin Ruoyan was unconscious, the two of them read their own books in front of the living room outside the palace, without disturbing each other.
Half an hour later, Lin Ruoyan still hadn't woken up.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the door.
Suddenly, a man dressed in a long black robe appeared gracefully.
"My lord! A secret report from the army!"
The man had delicate features, fair skin, and a tall, slender figure.
If he hadn't spoken, Gu Qianlu would have thought she was a girl disguised as a boy!
Chen Jinheng's eyes flashed, and she suddenly stood up and walked towards the man.
"Bamboo Shadow, has something happened at the military camp?"
The man bowed to Chen Jinheng, took out a letter from his waist, and handed it to him.
Chen Jinheng took the letter, quickly glanced at it, then turned to Gu Qianluo and said seriously,
"My lady, I still have some military affairs to attend to. Lin Ruoyan has been kind to me, and I cannot abandon her. I entrust this matter to you!"
"Alright! Don't worry, my husband, Qianlu will definitely take good care of Miss Lin."
After noon, Lin Ruoyan, who had been unconscious for two hours, finally woke up.
Knowing this, Gu Qianluo quickly put down the book in her hand and strode into the house.
Upon entering the room, I saw Lin Ruoyan with one hand on the edge of the bed and the other hand covering her chest, turning her head to vomit violently under the bed.
The maid, holding a chamber pot, caught her excrement from under the bed, tears welling in her eyes, and said anxiously.
"Miss! How are you? Don't frighten me!"
After gagging for a while, Lin Ruoyan finally felt much better.
Seeing this, Gu Qianluo picked up a cup of tea from the round wooden table and slowly walked towards her.
"Shuang'er, where is the Second Young Master? Where is he?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo paused, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes.
After all, he was her man. Although they had no emotional foundation, she often heard other women talking about him, which made her feel inexplicably bitter.
"Miss! The second young master has gone to find the imperial physician for you. Please lie down for a while."
The maid, Yinshuang, took a clean towel from a wooden basin next to her and washed her face.
Upon hearing that Chen Jinheng had left, Lin Ruoyan's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed tightly again.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked down dejectedly, and asked, "Did they go out?"
"Miss Lin, you're finally awake! Is there anything still bothering you?"
Gu Qianluo's gentle and melodious voice came from behind her. Lin Ruoyan looked up in a daze, her eyes full of surprise.
After all, no other women had ever visited her before.
For this reason, people in the mansion all said that she was Chen Jinheng's mistress, but they just didn't say it outright.
As for Lin Ruoyan's identity, only Chen Jinheng knew it.
"Qianluo, what are you doing here?"
Judging from Lin Ruoyan's tone, she didn't seem to welcome her staying.
What is she doing here?
Ah, it's all because her good husband said he had to go to the military camp and asked her to help take care of his beloved here.
Gu Qianluo subtly ignored Lin Ruoyan's disgusted gaze, calmly adjusted her skirt, sat down beside her bed, and said softly,
“Miss Lin, all of this is the Second Young Master’s idea.”
He had important business to attend to, so he asked me to look after things here.
After saying that, he handed her the teacup in his hand, "Miss Lin, you've just woken up, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up first."
Lin Ruoyan glanced disdainfully at the cup in her hand, then looked at the maid beside her. Yinshuang, receiving the signal, took the teacup.
"Thank you, Sister Qianluo, but I just woke up and I'm still a bit nauseous, so I can't really drink it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo frowned, shook her head, and sighed.
"Oh, that's a real pity! This is a special white fungus and bird's nest soup that I had my servants prepare especially for Miss Lin! It would be such a waste to throw it away!"
Upon hearing that it was bird's nest, Lin Ruoyan's eyes lit up instantly, and she scolded in a sweet voice,
"Oh? Qianluo, why didn't you say so sooner! Bird's nest is a precious commodity! It's such a waste to throw it away!"
After saying that, he called out loudly to the maid, "Yinshuang! Don't pour it out yet, leave it there for now!"
Seeing how easily she was dealt with, Gu Qianluo's eyes lit up with a hint of joy.
"Miss Lin, seeing that you look better, Jinheng must be very pleased."
Upon hearing Gu Qianluo's words, Lin Ruoyan's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened, and she smiled sweetly.
"Yes! Jinheng has always cared about me."
He also said that once I recover, he will take me to see the Jiangnan region!
I have never met a man as good as him. He waited five years to marry for my sake.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo gave Lin Ruoyan a deep look, her mind filled with a multitude of thoughts.
Did he wait 5 years to get married because of her?
Is this why he suddenly agreed to marry Gu Qianluo?
"Miss Lin is so lucky to be so favored by Jinheng. You must take good care of yourself so that he can rest assured, right?"
"Hehe, if Jinheng really loved me, he would have given me a position. How could I be as lucky as Sister Qianluo? She got the position of mistress right away."
Gu Qianluo vaguely sensed jealousy and resentment in Lin Ruoyan's tone, and quickly comforted her gently.
