When Huo Shuwen left the clinic, he not only didn't get any medicine prescribed, but he was also scolded for wasting time.
The boy frowned, walking down the street with a puzzled look on his face.
I've been wrong since yesterday, and I'm still wrong today.
Especially in the middle of the night, the face of that second young lady would flash through my dreams several times.
Could it be...
Is she a disciple of the Miao people, and can use witchcraft?
Before things were cleared up, Huo Shuwen wanted to avoid He Yi.
She's so strange.
The eagle returned to the Second Miss's courtyard. This time, he changed his location and lay on the roof so that He Yi couldn't see him.
A man who looked to be in his thirties walked out of the main house, accompanied by a woman whose face was full of love and who would occasionally flirt with the man.
"Cousin, will you come to see me again tomorrow?" the woman asked coquettishly.
"Tomorrow is the fifteenth, Suifang. I have to stay with my wife. I'll come to see you again on the sixteenth."
The woman pretended to be angry and twisted her body a couple of times. It's unclear what the man said to her, but the woman, who was called Suifang, smiled and saw him out the door.
He Yi was quite far away. Huo Shuwen looked at her expressionless face and then at the maids walking in this direction.
"Master, the Madam sent us to see you off to court."
Master He nodded to Sui Fang and followed several maids to the door to get into the carriage.
The girl watched her mother from a distance. Sui Fang seemed to sense her daughter's resentful gaze and hurriedly went back into the house, closing the door tightly.
He Yi chuckled to herself, straightened her clothes, and headed back towards the pond in the courtyard.
She can't escape the suffering she's destined to endure today, so she might as well just wander off in that direction herself.
Several maids walked over from the main courtyard and kept hovering around He Yi, seemingly intent on doing something.
Huo Shuwen kept watching from the rooftop until a maidservant made a move and rammed into He Yi.
The boy immediately leaped down and pushed the maid aside.
"blind?"
The maid was taken aback by the question, then turned to Huo Shuwen and said:
"Who are you?"
"I am the Second Miss's bodyguard."
The matter was not resolved this time, and it couldn't be done openly, at least not to give Madam He any reason to criticize. The maids slunk away.
The boy turned to look at He Yi, and asked, puzzled:
"You just fell down yesterday, and you're swaying this way again today. Don't you remember?"
"Stay away from water, water is your nemesis."
"..."
He Yi was speechless after hearing his explanation.
But if she hadn't fallen into the water today, who knows what other suffering awaited her?
The eagle didn't look back at her again and went straight out to eat.
No, you can't watch it.
Just now, I saw that his inner energy almost shot into the sky.
The food in the capital is delicious, and the chefs in the restaurants are very skilled, but he won't be able to enjoy it for long. The He family usually distributes monthly allowances at the end of the month, and he's a little short on cash.
All the valuables were buried with his master.
Today was supposed to be Huo Shuwen's day off. The steward said that as long as he saw the master come out of Concubine Suifang's courtyard, he could rest for a day.
He didn't know why, but the eagle did it anyway.
The young man wandered around the capital city and didn't return to the He residence until dark.
It's the same place, the same tree, the same branches.
However, for some reason, the light in the second young lady's room was not on today.
Huo Shuwen assumed she was asleep and paid no further attention until he heard a crisp sound from inside the room.
The boy walked to the window, knocked lightly a few times, and then asked:
"Second Miss?"
No one responded.
Then he added:
"Second Miss, if you're not going back, I'll go inside first."
The room is pitch black, and you can't see anything. If there are any bad guys, you might lose your life if you hesitate for even a moment.
Huo Shuwen quietly pushed open the window.
He had done this before when he was a bodyguard, especially to young ladies or wives.
They usually don't want others to know that a strange man has been in their boudoir, so the young man went in first to check, and as long as nothing happened, there was no need to make a fuss.
The young lady's boudoir was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Huo Shuwen was still wondering why a young lady from a prominent family would have such a smell in her room.
Until he heard several painful groans.
He Yi's voice was hoarse as she kept muttering to herself on the bed.
"water."
Huo Shuwen took out a tinderbox from his waist and lit the room a little, revealing the girl's pale yet flushed face to him.
"Second Miss?" the young man called out.
He Yi didn't react, so Huo Shuwen placed the back of his fingers on her forehead.
The intense heat came from my fingertips.
This is a fever.
The eagle couldn't understand it. What young lady didn't even have a maid?
Is someone lying in bed with a fever and no one is taking care of them?
Is things going a bit too badly for you?
Huo Shuwen's head was buzzing. Should he intervene or not? He was her guard, and he couldn't just ignore it.
It was quite a coincidence that there happened to be a rather famous doctor in the capital. Let's bring him here.
The boy first gave He Yi some water, and then went to the clinic to fetch her.
It's no wonder that doctors in the martial arts world have such good mental fortitude; they're used to flying around, and being dragged out in the middle of the night is no big deal for them.
After taking He Yi's pulse, the doctor left some medicine and instructed Huo Shuwen on how to prepare it.
The boy nodded earnestly as he took notes.
They immediately realized what was happening.
No, I'm just a guard, why should I care about this?
But the doctor doesn't care about any of that; if you turn your palm up, it means you want money.
"Five taels, pay up."
The boy reluctantly took out the last few coins from his pocket and then took the medicine from the doctor.
It's so annoying, I lost money on my second day of work.
He Yi could feel someone talking next to her, but she felt dizzy and her eyelids were too heavy to open her eyes.
A warm sensation rose on her lips, and the moist feeling made her swallow the water naturally.
"Drink water first, then eat something, and then take your medicine."
Huo Shuwen muttered to himself, but he didn't know where to find food in the He family mansion, so he wandered over to the kitchen.
The old lady in the kitchen was dozing off; it was the middle of the night.
"A bowl of noodles, please."
The old woman instantly regained her senses, then looked at the person who had come and asked:
"You must be the new guard."
The boy nodded.
"Then why didn't you come over for lunch today?"
Does the manor provide meals?
The old lady said with a smile:
"Why don't you wrap it up? Are you hungry in the middle of the night? I'll make you a bowl of noodles later, please have a seat."
Actually, the old lady isn't usually this easy to talk to. It's mainly because Huo Shuwen is handsome. People don't care if you're old or young, male or female; they all like to look at good-looking people, right?
