When the boy brought the steaming noodles to He Yi, she was still lying in bed. The girl stared at Huo Shuwen for several moments.
From childhood to adulthood, even my own mother has never had such a good life.
Well,
Her mother only ever had her father on her mind.
He Yi stared at the bowl of noodles for a long time.
Huo Shuwen stood there at first, but later he couldn't help but frown.
"Eat it, you can't see anything interesting in it."
"How can you take medicine if you don't eat?"
He Yi was dressed in her undergarments. It wasn't that she didn't know the proper separation between men and women; it was just that at this moment, in this place, it seemed she had met the kindest person to her.
The girl obediently picked up her chopsticks and ate a few bites, but the bowl was a bit too big, and she couldn't eat anymore.
She held the bowl and looked at the young eagle. The young eagle pursed his lips, took the bowl, and handed her a bowl of medicine. It was dark and didn't look like it would taste good.
"Take your medicine."
He Yi took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he paused, seemingly a beat slow to react, and looked at the boy before saying:
"bitter."
He took a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to her.
For some reason, after the kitchen lady finished making noodles for him, Huo Shuwen asked her for a piece of candy.
It has to be that kind of thing.
The girl looked at the candy in front of her and smiled at him.
"Guard Huo is so considerate. Were you this considerate when you were a guard in other people's homes?"
Huo Shuwen was taken aback by the question, and then took the bowl and walked out of the room.
He Yi watched his retreating figure and smiled contentedly.
She lay down in bed with her frail body, pulling the blanket over her head.
Her heart was beating very fast.
He Yi understands.
This must be the feeling her mother had when she liked her father.
you say,
Why don't you just be a good guard?
Why do you have to provoke me?
Thinking of this, He Yi sat up abruptly from the bed.
Looking at the cloak that Huo Shuwen handed her on her first day, she wondered what she was thinking.
The boy returned to his room and, as if possessed, picked up the chopsticks He Yi had used earlier, picked up a strand of noodles, and put it in his mouth.
A salty, slightly cool taste rises on the tongue.
He paused for a moment, then quickly took out his chopsticks.
This is the bowl she just used.
What am I doing?
"We've finally gotten our revenge today. I wonder if the Second Miss's new guard knows what's going on inside the manor."
"Yes, he even stopped us from touching the Second Miss today."
"I guess he just arrived, but if you ask me, he's quite good-looking."
"Indeed, he is handsome and skilled."
"The second young lady is probably still lying in bed."
"Didn't you guys fail to get her into the water? How come the Second Miss is sick again?"
"It's just that we took all the coats from her room and washed them. We have to give Miss face. Servants should do servants' work."
From the next room, laughter and mockery of He Yi could be heard.
Huo Shuwen found it somewhat grating.
He was a guard.
It's not too much to vent your anger for your master, is it?
right,
Not excessive.
Although his employer had always made him do it.
But this time he can take the initiative.
The next day, when He Yi got up and opened the door, she saw several maids in the courtyard lying on the blue bricks, bound hand and foot and wearing only their undergarments.
It's early winter now, and if you stay out in the cold all night, you'll definitely get a fever.
The girl looked puzzled, wondering what had happened.
Until the boy's voice came from above.
"Yesterday, they washed all your outer clothes on purpose, to make you sick."
The maids' mouths were gagged, and they could only mumble incoherently.
He Yi looked at him and smiled.
He then went to the maids and took out what they were talking about.
"How dare you treat us like this! Don't you know we were acting on the Madam's orders!"
"She's just a concubine's daughter. Our He family only has one young lady. If you side with her, Madam won't give you a hard time."
The young man in black jumped down from the tree and said coldly to them.
"None of my business."
Seeing his cold demeanor, He Yi felt even more eager, though she didn't show it on her face.
"Are you going to make a move?" the eagle asked.
Why should I do anything?
"Take it out on them, they bullied you."
"I won't hit anyone..."
The girl lowered her head, looking pitiful and wronged.
Huo Shuwen thought about it and agreed; with such small arms and legs, how could he possibly hit someone?
"Then I'll shut them up and throw them back into the river?"
He Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at him and replied:
"You can do whatever you want. I'm just a girl, I don't know much about these things, but you should still be careful."
"Just like they said, I'm a dispensable person in the He family."
When she said this, the girl's face was filled with despair and sadness.
“In the He family, servants and masters alike can bully me.”
"you……"
“You can actually ignore me, just like my mother.”
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble these past two days."
When Huo Shuwen heard He Yi say this, his eyebrows furrowed.
She's wrong.
“You don’t need to listen to me either,” He Yi continued to mutter to herself.
"No trouble at all, I'll take care of it."
Huo Shuwen didn't know how to refute it, and could only manage to utter this one sentence.
He felt uneasy.
Seeing her like this, I felt a pang of sadness.
The eagle untied the maids and threw them into the pond, pondering why he had been acting this way these past few days, listening to their cries for help.
