Xie Yuancheng went out for three or four days in a row. Every time I saw my mother holding Yu'er and sitting on the edge of the bed, I was speechless. He went out to do his own things, which made me feel bad.
"Madam, why does the young master still seem so listless?"
Even if Wan'er came, her medical skills wouldn't be able to solve the problem. I couldn't even speak, let alone say anything else.
"Ying'er is just too naughty. She was overjoyed to see Yu'er, but then she suddenly fell seriously ill and is now like this."
It was Xie Yuancheng who did the good deed, so why blame me?
"Oh, how pitiful, the young master has become like this."
I got more and more annoyed listening to it, so I simply closed my eyes. I felt a warm sensation on my hand, and a small hand was pulling my index finger.
Yu'er, that little rascal, learned it from his father; he always just stands by and joins in the commotion.
"Madam, the young master really likes the young master, and he's holding his hand and won't let go."
Wan'er was laughing beside me. I had originally wanted to close my eyes and go to sleep, but Yu'er came and pulled my hand, so I had no choice but to keep my eyes open and watch it.
"Giggle~" You little rascal, you just know how to tease me. You're grinning from ear to ear, and the more I look at you, the more I want to hug you.
"Yu'er and Ying'er are very destined for each other."
How could it not be fate? After all, she's my own precious child.
"Indeed, isn't the Marquis's wife at home? I heard that the Marquis has been staying at home ever since he came to the capital."
The mother paused for a moment, then continued to tease Yu'er, placing him by the bedside. Yu'er then began to perform rolling over again.
"Full-up, my little darling." His mother regretted putting him on the bed and hurriedly picked him up. He stretched out his little body and started to play with her: "Wan'er, come and help me. This child starts causing trouble as soon as he hears his father's name."
"Madam, let me hug you."
I was so angry! Yu'er stopped making a fuss after she snuggled up to Wan'er, and even giggled at her.
I've always been obsessed with looks since I was little, what am I going to do when I grow up?
"Madam, we have a guest."
"Wan'er, you and Cuiyun take care of Yu'er. I'm going to meet the guests."
"Well then, young master, I'll take the young master out first. You should rest well."
The room returned to silence immediately. I wondered why Wan'er had suddenly returned. If she was here, then where was Bizhu?
The eyes can only move, but the body cannot move, and the mouth cannot speak.
I silently prayed to Xie Yuancheng, "Why isn't he back yet? If he doesn't come back soon, I'm going to have serious health problems."
Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long; he came back that evening.
I felt myself lying in his arms as soon as I woke up, and he was idly playing with my long hair.
"Ying'er, you've worked hard these past few days."
Of course it's hard work. Hurry up and give me the antidote; I need to get out of bed.
"Don't worry, I'll untie it for you right away."
I don't want to recall the process of him giving me the antidote. When I wake up, I'm going to beat him up.
I woke up before dawn. Xie Yuancheng was sleeping soundly beside me, and I wanted to shake him awake. But as soon as I reached my hand to his neck, I saw the dark circles under his eyes and remembered what had happened in the past, and my heart softened.
"I knew Ying'er wouldn't want me to suffer."
He was actually awake; his sleep must be quite light.
"Stop fooling around, go to sleep. The area around your eyes is as dark as the bottom of a pot."
“Ying’er knows what the bottom of the pot looks like, but you never cook.”
"How could I not know? As the saying goes, the bottom of a pot is black, isn't that what it is?"
"How have you been these past few days? Have you missed me?"
Could he have been out these past few days? I thought back carefully and realized that I had only been awake a few times. When I opened my eyes, I would see my mother holding Yu'er sitting next to me, or Wan'er and the maids.
"Yes, I hate you so much every time I think of you, but seeing you like this now, I'm being magnanimous and won't hold it against you. But, how did Wan'er end up at the Ji residence? Did you bring her here?"
Xie Yuancheng hugged me even tighter: "Why would I bring a maid? It was her and Lin Chao who came."
Seeing that he was unhappy, I quickly pulled my hand away and pinched his face: "Eat more rice, and your face will puff up and you'll look like a pufferfish."
"Oh, you! I worry about you every day when I'm out, and now you dare to make fun of me."
"Hmph, it's all because of his recklessness that I'm bedridden. Yu'er comes every day, and those maids are practically becoming his harem."
"When this boy grows up a bit, I'll assign him several maids so you'll have something to worry about every day, and he won't go out and mess around with girls and boys."
Here we go again. I rolled over and covered him with the blanket: "What do you mean by 'finding a maid for your son'? You're probably just finding one for yourself."
"Ying'er is starting to have all sorts of wild thoughts now. Let me give you a good treatment."
I underestimated how petty he was. Just as things got heated, I heard Yu'er crying next to me.
Xie Yuancheng hurriedly got up, and I panicked too. This sound was different from the usual thunder without rain; he must have been frightened.
I threw on some clothes and went out, only to see Xie Yuancheng fighting with several men in black.
These bastards dared to attack the Ji residence before dawn; they're asking for trouble.
A man in black attacked me. Although I had been lying down for a long time, dealing with him was no problem.
I picked up the sword from the ground and used it to block his sword. Yu'er's crying grew louder. I slashed at him several times and then ran to my mother's room.
As soon as I opened the door, several men in black jumped in from outside. I threw the teapot and cups on the table at them. My mother shielded Yu'er in a corner, and her face began to turn pale.
Those men in black are incredibly skilled; I can't handle them. If it were a one-on-one fight, I could definitely take them on without any problem.
Fortunately, Meng Anshi arrived in time and dealt with all the men in black in the room in one go.
I ran to where my mother was in the corner and protected her and Yu'er as they went out. We had just taken one step when another group of people came over.
Where did they come from? It's still dawn, the sky is still dark, and they are all masked, their bodies completely black except for their eyes.
A group of grown men attacked the elderly, weak, women and children. Their bodies were covered in black sores, so they covered their faces and dared not show themselves.
"Mother, follow behind me."
I'm not sure if I can protect them, but I will do everything in my power to do so.
Yu'er was so considerate; he stopped crying as soon as he saw me. He's too young to handle such scenes of violence.
His mother covered his eyes, but he still reached out his little hand to pinch her hand.
I solved several, but I can't handle a lot of people. Dad was right. When I was little, I only played around and didn't study swordsmanship properly.
As a tall man in black attacked me, I thought to myself, "I'm going to be seriously injured again."
His sword was kicked away when it was only a fist's distance from me; Lin Yu had arrived.
"Master, you've arrived just in time."
"Quickly take the old lady to the backyard."
None of the servants in the manor know martial arts, and I don't know what happened to the maids.
I led my mother and Yu'er to the backyard, and as we were almost there, someone suddenly appeared.
He raised his sword and slashed at us. I was about to swing my sword to block when I saw him faint.
