Their eyes met, and after a moment of silence, Yun Chuwei prepared to pour out the bowl of medicine in her hand.
She figured Xie Xuan wouldn't care about her.
However, she was still wrong!
Xie Xuan flashed and arrived in front of Yun Chuwei, grabbing her hand.
He took the medicine bowl, looked at Yun Chuwei, and said coolly, "The dignified Miss Yun is actually afraid to drink medicine. It's truly laughable."
Yun Chuwei withdrew her hand and calmly explained, "I'm not afraid of taking medicine, I just feel it's unnecessary!"
These are just some blood-tonifying and qi-nourishing medicines, but they don't have much effect on her.
All medicines have some degree of toxicity, and even tonics don't need to be taken in large quantities.
Xie Xuan's gaze fell on the plate of candied fruit on the table, clearly not believing Yun Chuwei's words.
"Such a big plate of candied fruit couldn't make you drink this small bowl of medicine, Miss Yun, just how stubborn are you?"
Yun Chuwei knew that such a thing was difficult to explain, so she simply didn't explain it.
She leaned forward slightly, bracing herself against the window with both hands, and stared at Xie Xuan, whose face was as handsome as jade, for a long while before leisurely saying, "Your Highness Prince Xuan's lips do look quite soft!"
Xie Xuan: ...
"Yun Chuwei, are you a female hooligan?" Xie Xuan's words were tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan, her smile carrying a hint of wickedness.
She opened her mouth, as if to say something.
However, Xie Xuan directly held a spoonful of medicine to her lips, pressing it against hers to stop her from speaking.
Xie Xuan thought it best not to let this person speak, as her words were too shocking.
Yun Chu frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse to drink the medicine.
However, when faced with the focused and earnest gaze of that ethereal man, she couldn't bring herself to say no.
She opened her mouth and drank the spoonful of medicine.
Xie Xuan never imagined that one day he would be feeding medicine to a woman, and that woman would be Yun Chuwei.
But he didn't seem to mind.
Even seeing her obediently drink her medicine makes my heart soften.
Seeing the traces of medicine on her lips, he suddenly thought that the medicine might taste quite good.
He also wanted to try it.
However, he only dared to think about it.
He lowered his head, concealing his thoughts. He fed Yun Chuwei the medicine spoonful by spoonful until she finished the whole bowl.
He put down the medicine bowl, picked up the candied fruit next to him, handed it to Yun Chuwei, and said in a low voice, "If you are afraid of bitterness, eat a piece of candied fruit to suppress it."
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything, but simply took a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth.
It's not bitter, but I don't really like candied fruit.
But it's always hard to refuse when such a handsome man offers you candied fruit.
While munching on a candied fruit, she asked, "Have you finished dealing with the case at the Dali Temple? How come you have time to come over?"
"You did faint in my carriage, so I had to come and check on you, right? If you don't wake up, I can think of a solution in advance, so I won't be caught off guard when Madam comes after me!" Xie Xuan said.
Yun Chuwei snorted coldly: "You make it sound like my mother is some kind of unreasonable person!"
"I don't know if Madam is reasonable or not, but if looks could kill, I would have been riddled with holes by the time I brought you back!" Xie Xuan said.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but smile when she thought of the scene where He Ning glared at Xie Xuan.
Her expression quickly changed: "How's the case going?"
If we can use this case to cripple the eldest son of the Yue family, it will also be considered as eliminating some of Xie Sheng's influence.
I'm afraid...
When the case was mentioned, Xie Xuan's expression became somewhat serious.
"The case is still under investigation, and we have obtained the evidence provided by Wei Yi. If everything goes smoothly, we can convict Yue Jingsheng. However..."
Xie Xuan paused here.
That was the last thing he wanted to see, so he didn't want to mention it.
Now, we can only take it one step at a time.
But when facing Yun Chuwei, he also thought of another possibility.
He looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "Yue Jingsheng's mother and Empress Wang are sisters, and he is also the Crown Prince's cousin. If Yue Jingsheng is captured, it's equivalent to the Crown Prince losing a major ally, you..."
Xie Xuan felt that Yun Chuwei must have had a reason for going to great lengths to help Xie Sheng in her previous life.
Either they have known each other for a long time and have a deep friendship.
Either she likes Xie Sheng.
It's impossible that someone would help Xie Sheng at all costs just because of a marriage decree, right?
In this life, Xie Sheng refused the arranged marriage, so what will become of them...?
Yun Chuwei leaned against the window, turned her head to look at Xie Xuan, and asked directly, "Are you trying to ask if I have any feelings for Xie Sheng?"
Xie Xuan was taken aback; he hadn't expected Yun Chuwei to be so direct.
Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the doorway of Yun Chuwei's room.
"Young Miss, I'm back! Did you finish your medicinal meal? Did you finish your medicine?"
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow, smiled at Xie Xuan, and said, "Think it over before you ask, is that the right question?"
After saying that, she closed the window immediately.
At the same time, Guiyan pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing that there was only a medicine bowl left in the room, she asked in confusion, "Miss, have you finished eating?"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "They've already removed it."
Guiyan looked puzzled: "What about the candied fruit? Did they remove the candied fruit too? How could these two be so careless? They saw you were going to take medicine, and they didn't even leave you some candied fruit!"
Guiyan felt that regardless of whether the young lady ate it or not, there should always be some candied fruit!
Yun Chuwei: ...
The candied fruit seems to be in Xie Xuan's hands.
"Ahem!" Yun Chuwei coughed lightly. "I've finished the candied fruit!"
Guiyan looked at Yun Chuwei with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
"Miss, don't you dislike candied fruit?" Guiyan asked.
Yun Chuwei calmly returned to the soft couch and reclined, saying, "Is it wrong to suddenly like something?"
Returning Geese: ...
She felt it was okay, but something was off.
Yun Chuwei looked at Guiyan and changed the subject: "Does your wife have anything to say?"
Remembering something, Guiyan quickly said, "Madam asked me to tell you that the Third Young Master is returning tomorrow. If you don't like him, she will make him leave!"
Yun Chu smiled lazily: "I don't have any likes or dislikes. Madam can handle it however she wants."
-
Xie Xuan, standing outside the window, stared blankly at the plate of candied fruit in his hand for a moment.
He then picked one up and put it in his mouth.
It's too sweet! He doesn't like it!
Today, he encountered quite a few unexpected things.
He hadn't expected that Yun Chuwei would be afraid of taking medicine.
To my surprise, she actually liked such sweet things.
Since she likes it, shouldn't he keep some in his carriage and in his residence?
He remembered that the old woman seemed to have mentioned that there was a good candied fruit shop in the west of the city.
Perhaps we can go and take a look.
Soon, Xie Xuan left the Marquis's residence carrying candied fruit and appeared before his guards.
