Bu Yaolian sobbed, and the maid beside her took out her handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped away Bu Yaolian's tears.
"Miss, please stop crying. Your eyes are swollen and your makeup is ruined."
"Let's spend the money then. There's no one important here when we get back to the manor anyway."
"I don't care."
The maid continued, "Seeing Miss's expression, I am also heartbroken. If Miss truly doesn't care whether she is a wife or a concubine, I do have a way."
"You have a way?" Bu Yaolian looked at the maid beside her with suspicion.
"I don't care about being a principal wife or a concubine. I'm content just to be by the prince's side."
Bu Yaolian's thoughts were simple. As the legitimate daughter, she had been pampered since childhood. Her only wish was to marry Jin Jinzhi, the number one war god of Nanyang, and stay by her side every day.
She greatly admired Jin Jinzhi. He was tall and handsome, and his extraordinary bravery on the battlefield struck fear into the hearts of his enemies. If she had such a man as her husband, all the women in the capital would envy her, and no one would dare to speak ill of her behind her back.
"Tell me quickly, what's your brilliant idea?"
Bu Yaolian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, mustered her spirits, and looked at the maid with anticipation.
...
Inside the bedroom of the Prince of Jibei's mansion, the air was filled with fragrance, and sunlight streamed in through the windows.
Lying in bed, Yun Duoduo heard the commotion outside and smiled.
As the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, she was pampered and spoiled by everyone since childhood, living like the center of attention, getting whatever she wanted, and knew nothing of scheming and intrigue.
He wanted to make her have diarrhea and run to the outhouse, so he actually poisoned her himself. Someone even saw him poisoning her, and he personally brought her the poisoned soup.
Seriously, "stupid" doesn't even begin to describe it.
"You're awake? Are you feeling any better?"
Jin Jinzhi turned to look at him. He was a soldier and was extremely sensitive to sound.
He sensed that the person beside him had opened their eyes and was moving slightly, so he opened his eyes and asked softly.
"Are you feeling better?" Jin Jinzhi looked at her and felt that she was much more energetic today, and her face was not as pale as yesterday.
Yun Duoduo nodded. Listening to Jin Jinzhi's slightly hoarse voice after just waking up, her little head started to wander again.
"I'll have the imperial physician come and examine you in a bit."
"Eat more tonics; you need to rest and recuperate properly after your health has been damaged."
Have the imperial physician examine her?! That won't do!
Her pulse was strong and powerful, showing no signs of weakness.
If the imperial physician were to examine her, he probably wouldn't be able to tell that she had ever been ill.
"There's no need to trouble the imperial physician."
"You've forgotten, I'm a junior physician. I can treat myself."
Yun Duoduo touched her forehead and cheeks; they felt a little hot.
"You have the nerve to say that? Your medical skills are so good that you couldn't even tell there was poison in the soup!" Jin Jinzhi snorted, her sexy voice making Yun Duoduo's heart flutter.
"you!"
"Well, that poison is colorless and odorless, of course I couldn't tell!" Yun Duoduo said angrily, her medical skills were being questioned, but that was indeed the case.
The two remained silent for a long while.
Yun Duoduo turned to look at him.
At such close range, she could see his well-defined features and handsome lips.
Yun Duoduo stared blankly at those deep eyes and beautiful features for a moment.
She quickly looked away and said angrily, "You held me all night while we slept. If word gets out, how am I ever going to get married?!"
"Do you really want to marry someone else?" Jin Jinzhi curled her lips and said calmly, looking down at the person in her arms.
What did he mean by that?
Yun Duoduo blushed immediately. What was wrong with him?
Why has my attitude and tone of voice towards her changed so drastically?
Since Duoduo also has feelings for me.
From that day forward, there was no need to hide this affection in my heart or suppress it secretly.
Yun Duoduo's heart pounded even harder. He heard what Jin Jin was thinking, and the bad mood and gloom brought by Li Qiqi and Bu Yaolian were swept away.
How did he know I liked him?
"I'll be of marriageable age in a month," Yun Duoduo blurted out without thinking.
"I know."
"I..." Yun Duoduo's hands gripped the corner of the blanket, looking somewhat nervous.
"Sister Duo!" A thunderous shout came from the doorway.
“I got up very early to collect the morning dew for you and also cooked some porridge.”
"This porridge made with morning dew is excellent for nourishing the spleen and stomach. The poison you suffered from before damaged your spleen and stomach, so drinking this porridge made with morning dew will definitely help you recover..."
Jin Zhuangzhuang, holding a white jade bowl, casually pushed open the door while talking.
When she saw the scene inside the room, she was so shocked that she froze on the spot, and the bowl of porridge in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"You, you all..."
When she pushed the door open, Jin Jinzhi had already sat up in bed, but he hadn't had time to put on his outer robe yet.
Before her lay Yun Duoduo, her face flushed, lying on the bed, and her older brother, who was only wearing his undergarments.
"Brother, you..."
[He's really my brother!]
The two were stunned when they saw Jin Zhuangzhuang suddenly barge in.
Yun Duoduo hurriedly explained, "Ah, Zhuangzhuang, don't misunderstand, your brother, he, his clothes are wet, and there are some clothes here that he needs to change into."
Jin Zhuangzhuang waved his hands repeatedly, speaking somewhat incoherently: "I know, I know, hehe, no need to explain, no need to explain."
"I'll go and cook another bowl of porridge!"
After saying that, Jin Zhuangzhuang ran away as fast as he could.
"Ugh, seeing things I shouldn't have seen will give me a sty!"
Jin Zhuangzhuang covered his eyes as he ran.
"Oh no, oh no, will my brother kill me to silence me?" She was extremely worried about her future.
"Sister Duo, how could you be so blind as to actually fall for my brother?!"
"Sister Duo is so wonderful, beautiful, gentle, and talented. She knows medicine and martial arts. Why would such a wonderful person like her marry anyone else? Why does she have to like my cold-hearted brother who only knows how to kill?"
"Since Sister Duo loves listening to storybooks so much, I thought she would marry a storyteller or even the top scholar of the dynasty!"
"Why would she fall for my brother, this rough and uncouth military general?"
Jin Zhuangzhuang walked to the kitchen muttering to herself. She was rinsing rice in a pot, but her mind was completely unrelated to making porridge.
She had noticed Yun Duoduo's attitude towards Jin Jinzhi and Jin Jinzhi's attitude towards Yun Duoduo before, but she hadn't thought much about it, assuming it was just a bond from growing up together.
But now it's clear that both parties are in love.
Thankfully, I witnessed this scene this morning.
