Wei Yuyan likes to eat eggs, whether they are fried, stir-fried, or steamed.
She was still a little embarrassed in front of Wu Chen because he had asked her to come over in a couple of days, but she had refused and said some unpleasant things.
So she answered with her head down.
After finishing her meal, Wei Yuyan felt a little tired, so she lay down on the bed to rest and read.
"Yu Yan, there's still a little ginger tea left, would you like some?"
Wu Chen brought up a bowl of ginger tea.
"Okay, put it here."
Wei Yuyan pointed to the stool next to her.
"Get some rest, you got caught in the rain today."
Wu Chen also finished showering and went to bed.
"Yeah, I'm a little tired today."
Wei Yuyan was indeed a little sleepy, and fell asleep after finishing the ginger tea.
The next day, when Wei Yuyan woke up, she felt like something was wrong with her. Her nose was stuffy, her throat was sore, and she felt weak all over. It seemed that she was really sick.
When I got up and went downstairs, I found that they were all not at home. Xiao Lei and Qian Qian had gone to school, and I didn't know where Wu Chen was.
There was white radish porridge in the pot. Wei Yuyan used to like drinking white radish porridge, but now her mouth had no taste and it didn't taste good. She drank half a bowl and then didn't want to drink any more.
I was about to find the dirty clothes I wore on the mountain yesterday to wash, but I found that they had already been washed and hung up.
Wei Yuyan couldn't help but smile; this feeling wasn't bad at all.
With nothing else to do, I decided to make some clothes. Xiao Lei and Qian Qian have grown quite a bit taller over the past year, and their spring clothes from last year are already a section too short.
She plans to make them a little longer this year, so they might be able to wear them next year.
"Squeak~".
Wu Chen pushed the door open and came in, carrying several packets of traditional Chinese medicine.
"If you're not feeling well, don't do it. Take a break, or you can read a book."
Wu Chen felt that making clothes was quite mentally taxing.
"Okay, I'll just do it for a little while."
Wei Yuyan wondered how he knew she was feeling unwell.
"This is medicine to dispel wind and cold, I'll go and brew it for you."
Wu Chen shook the packets of medicinal herbs in his hand.
How did you know I wasn't feeling well?
Wei Yuyan was puzzled.
“Your nose was a little stuffy last night, and your breathing was heavier. I knew you must be feeling unwell.”
As Wu Chen spoke, he went into the kitchen and began to carefully brew the medicine.
"I haven't caught a cold in a long time, probably two or three years."
In Wei Yuyan's memory, the original owner of the body was also in good physical condition and rarely got sick.
"Little sister~, I've come to get the flowers."
Just then, Chen Yu's voice came in: "The flowers didn't get much rain yesterday, so they're still usable. It wasn't convenient to take them back yesterday because I was driving the oxcart, so I came to pick them up today when I had time."
"Brother-in-law is here. Wu Chen is brewing medicine to dispel wind and cold. Would you like to have a bowl before you go back?"
Wei Yuyan noticed that her brother-in-law's voice also had a heavy nasal tone, indicating that he probably had some nasal congestion.
"Really? Sure, I felt a bit off when I woke up today too. I think I caught a chill from the wind yesterday."
Chen Yu also felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded today.
"Come on, one bowl each."
Wu Chen finished brewing the medicine and brought a bowl to each of them. He then took out some candied fruit and handed it to Wei Yuyan.
"This medicine is indeed bitter."
Wei Yuyan took a small sip, and her facial features scrunched up. She quickly ate a piece of candied fruit to calm herself down.
My brother-in-law finished the Chinese medicine in one gulp and went back to town.
"I shouldn't have said that that day, I'm sorry."
Wei Yuyan thought about it and decided to apologize to Wu Chen.
"You don't need to apologize. You're right. These past two years have been my fault. Actually, I have some unspeakable difficulties."
Wu Chen was conflicted. Should he tell Wei Yuyan everything? What would she think of him?
"If you want to talk, I'll be a listener; if you don't want to talk, just keep it to yourself."
Although Wei Yuyan didn't understand why he was so conflicted, she respected his decision.
There must be some reason for this, otherwise why would he never mention what happened to him in the past two years?
Wu Chen opened his mouth after hearing Wei Yuyan's words, but he was still not ready and needed to think it over carefully.
Ten days later~
Wei Yuyan returned from town. Today she went to two shops to check them out, and both seemed to be working fine, so she bought some meat and went home.
But then an unexpected person came to our house.
"A cold wind?"
Wei Yuyan stared in surprise at the figure in the courtyard. Wasn't that Leng Feng?
"...Sister-in-law~".
Upon hearing Wei Yuyan's voice, Leng Feng's cold face softened, and he timidly called her "sister-in-law."
"Hmm, didn't you say you weren't coming back? Why are you back now?"
Wei Yuyan was puzzled.
"I was just passing by, so I stopped by to see if he'd stay at home for a day or two to rest, right, cold wind?"
Wu Chen came out of the main room and explained.
"Yes... I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law."
Leng Feng scratched his head sheepishly.
"No problem at all, welcome! You're in luck today, aren't you? I just bought some meat, I'll make braised lion's head meatballs for everyone at noon."
Wei Yuyan is planning to cook lunch herself today.
Evening~
Wei Yuyan was sitting on the bed reading a book when Wu Chen suddenly hugged her as soon as he got on the bed.
"What...what are you doing~".
Wei Yuyan was a little confused; why did Wu Chen suddenly hug her?
"There's no time..."
Wu Chen muttered to himself.
"What do you mean by 'no time'?"
Wei Yuyan had a bad feeling and tried to pull Wu Chen away to ask him what was going on, but she found that she couldn't break free at all.
"Let me hug you, hug you, and then I'll tell you why I haven't written back these past two years."
Wu Chen's voice was a little hoarse and sounded somewhat heavy.
Wei Yuyan felt that Wu Chen's change must be related to Leng Feng's return. What exactly did Leng Feng come back for?
Wei Yuyan gently patted Wu Chen's back to comfort him, sensing that he was vulnerable at that moment.
"I went to the army, and in less than a month, the camp was attacked by the enemy."
At that time, many people deserted, but I did not. I happened to meet the injured Third Prince and helped him escape danger.
From then on, I was brought under his command. However, I would rather not have been brought under his command. Since becoming his subordinate, I haven't had a good night's sleep.
At this point, Wu Chen's voice choked slightly, and Wei Yuyan's heart also tightened.
“He didn’t support us for nothing. We need to find evidence of his crimes as a corrupt official and evidence of his collusion with other parties.”
This is not a good job. We often put ourselves in dangerous situations, so I have taken some lives, but they were all bad people who deserved it.
He would give me a reward for each completed task, so while I was in pain, I also hoped to save up more money to give you a better life.
And so I stayed there for more than a year, until last summer when I was being hunted down while on a mission.
