Before he had finished running for half an hour, Yu Tanqi's calves were trembling.
Suddenly her legs went weak and she fell uncontrollably to the ground.
Jiang Shi was quick to reach out and pull her into his arms, his voice anxious and worried: "Tan Qi, are you okay?"
"Fortunately..." Yu Tanqi's voice was weak and trembling. He still spoke stubbornly, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
She had only been running for less than half an hour when she almost fell to the ground. How embarrassing.
She closed her eyes, her ears burning, and pretended to be calm and said, "I think I twisted my ankle."
Jiang Shi immediately picked her up by the waist and said, "I'll carry you back right away."
Yu Tanqi screamed subconsciously, hugged his neck with both hands, and said in a panic: "No, Zi'an, put me down, I will be fine after a while."
Jiang Shi frowned slightly, and his gentle voice was unusually firm: "How can it not hurt if your foot is sprained? Tan Qi, don't be so stubborn."
A hint of self-blame flashed in his eyes.
If he hadn't lost his focus for a moment and had paid closer attention to her, she wouldn't have twisted her ankle.
The young man pursed his lips and walked quickly while holding Yu Tanqi. If he wasn't afraid that the cold wind would chill her, he would have used his Qinggong skills to fly up.
Yu Tanqi buried her face in his broad and hard shoulders in despair.
Ahhhh, so embarrassing.
Servants usually get up earlier than their masters, and several of them were sweeping snow and clearing the ground on the road.
Hearing the sound, they looked up curiously, and saw that it was Jiang Shi holding Yu Tanqi, so they quickly lowered their heads and stepped aside.
Only after Jiang Shi carried Yu Tanqi away did they dare to look up and talk in low voices.
"Is Miss Yu not feeling well again? The prince seems very anxious and worried."
"Didn't Miss Yu say she was going to do morning exercises with the prince today? How come she was carried away from the training ground by the prince after just a few moments?"
"My young lady is very fragile. She was seriously injured a few days ago and hasn't recovered yet. It's freezing cold, so maybe her old injury has relapsed."
Also clearing the snow and sweeping the floor were Yu Tanqi's servants. Although they were all servants and worked together in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, each of them spoke from the perspective of their own master.
Fortunately, the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion manages its servants well. Although they can't help but talk about their master's affairs, they will not make random guesses, and will not talk about it outside.
The same was true for Yu Tanqi's servants.
Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi got along well with each other, and the servants on both sides also got along harmoniously. They would occasionally gather together to speculate when their masters would be able to officially get married and when there would be more young masters in the mansion.
Yu Tanqi was carried back to Luqiyuan by Jiang Shi.
After returning to her room, before Yu Tanqi could even breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Shi suddenly grabbed her legs. She looked up at him in surprise.
Jiang Shi asked, "Which foot did you sprain?"
Yu Tanqi's eyes were a little vague. She just said it casually, but who knew he believed it and was so nervous.
"It should be... the left foot, right?" He wouldn't take off her shoes and socks to check her sprained foot, would he?
Jiang Shi frowned. How could it be should?
His voice was a little low: "Maybe it's too cold in winter, and you can't feel which foot is sprained for a moment. Take off your shoes and socks, and I'll take a look for you."
Yu Tanqi's pupils shrank. "No, it doesn't hurt now."
Jiang Shi insisted: "No, your body is fragile. You can't ignore even a little pain. What if you ignore it and it turns into greater pain in the end?"
But she didn't feel any pain at all.
Yu Tanqi wanted to cry but had no tears.
She never talked nonsense again.
"I'll just ask Linlang to help me take a look." She lowered her head, her cheeks so red that they looked like blood.
Jiang Shi slightly clenched his fingers together, and even though he was worried and anxious inside, he endured it at this moment.
Men and women should not touch each other, and a woman's feet should not be seen by any man other than her husband.
Although they are an engaged couple, they have not yet gotten married.
He lost his composure a little.
Jiang Shi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at Yu Tanqi seriously and said, "If you really sprain it, you must not hide it from me, understand?"
Yu Tanqi nodded quickly: "I won't hide it from you."
Jiang Shi then let her go, walked out of the house, and told Linlang to carefully check if Yu Tanqi's foot was sprained.
After Linlang entered the room, she saw Yu Tanqi standing up and hurriedly stepped forward nervously: "Miss, you..."
"Shh." Yu Tanqi signaled her not to speak loudly, jumped twice and said, "I'm not sprained, it's just Zi'an who's too nervous."
Linlang: "But I also saw that if the prince hadn't reached out and hugged you in time, you would have fallen to the ground."
Yu Tanqi blushed a little and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "I just suddenly ran out of energy. It might be because I got up too early and didn't eat anything."
Linlang was skeptical: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"
"No, Miss, you'd better let me see your ankle, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the prince."
It was unknown when it started, but even though she was Yu Tanqi's servant, Linlang dared not disobey Jiang Shi's words.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Shi was really good to Yu Tanqi, taking care of her in every detail, even Linlang, his personal maid, sometimes felt inferior to him.
For example, during Yu Tanqi's daily life, sometimes Linlang and Taohua didn't even know she was coming, but Jiang Shi would notice it in advance and tell them to take good care of Yu Tanqi and tell him if she was unhappy.
Yu Tanqi's period is usually very regular, she has her period every month and she doesn't have any abdominal pain, but she tends to feel weak and depressed before her period.
As personal maids, Linlang and Taohua naturally remembered the days when the young lady had her period. However, it was surprising that Jiang Shi, a man, also knew the pattern of Yu Tanqi's period.
At first, they looked down on Prince Jiang, thinking that apart from his appearance and status, he was not worthy of their young lady.
But after arriving at Wu'an Marquis Mansion, they saw with their own eyes that Jiang Shi treated Yu Tanqi better and better, spending a lot of money on her, cooking for her, and even remembering everything about her. How could they not be moved and let go of their prejudices?
Getting married is a major event in a woman's life, like a second life, so she must be extremely cautious.
When the lady was still alive, she once told them that when a woman looks for a husband, she doesn't have to look for someone who is very good to her or has a very noble family background, but rather she should look for someone with noble character, ambition and good character.
Such a person, even if he is from a poor family with nothing, will definitely be successful in the future and will not abandon his wife.
Just as the master's original background was not good, Madam Xie was not optimistic about him, but the lady still insisted on marrying the master. After that, the two were extremely loving. Even though the lady was in poor health and only gave birth to a daughter, the master did not take a concubine. He still stayed with the lady and loved the daughter like a treasure.
