He gave a sorrowful smile. "My wife insists that I killed my husband and wants to put me to death. I said I was afraid. Do you believe me, brother?"
During the questioning, she suddenly grabbed Xie Tingzhou's collar, and with a forceful pull, Xie Tingzhou fell on top of her.
Ye Zhen bent his leg at the right moment, his knee landing squarely on Xie Tingzhou's injured spot.
Xie Tingzhou frowned slightly in pain, his eyes filled with a sharp killing intent.
Ye Zhen seemed oblivious. She closed her eyes, avoiding those eyes that seemed to see through everything.
She whispered weakly in his ear, "Brother, since you know medicine, could you prescribe some medicine to reduce my high fever? I feel like my mind is not clear due to the fever, and I feel terrible."
Xie Tingzhou pried open her fingers, "Sister-in-law is indeed delirious from the fever."
They dared to test him.
He didn't have to exert much effort; Ye Zhen obediently let go.

It must have been caused by the dirty paws of that wild cat, coupled with her emotional ups and downs after her rebirth and the fact that she hadn't rested for two nights. "Drinking some medicine will make her fine."
Wanxing was not reassured, and at the same time worried about something else, "Miss, does the young master have any suspicions?"
Ye Zhen gave a soft "hmm".
But she also discovered his secret.
There aren't many eyes in this world that can frighten her; Xie Tingzhou's gaze just now reminded her of a bearded man.
Therefore, she had just deliberately bumped into his abdomen, where he was indeed injured.
Xie Tingzhou is like the bearded man from the mountains.
Although she had never met the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong, she had heard that he had lost half of his face in his early years and had no choice but to wear a mask.
Although the man in the mountains had a thick beard covering his face, there were no scars on his face...
