Hong Xiu didn't dare to enter Liu Ruyun's room like that. She first returned to her own room and washed away the tears on her face with a basin of water. She sprinkled some medicine on her wound and changed into a new set of clothes in a hurry.

She stared at the small porcelain bottle on the table and rubbed the corner of her clothes. After struggling for a while, she still held the bottle and walked out of the room.

She didn't dare to disobey Eldest Young Master's orders again.

Carefully pushing open the door to Liu Ruyun's room, Hong Xiu gently placed the medicine bowl on the table, then placed the wet cloth on Liu Ruyun's forehead and sighed.

"It's probably because your luck is bad, Miss. You can't blame anyone else for this. This servant was forced to act against Miss because of helplessness. I hope that Miss will not resent this servant in the future. And the origin of this was because … "Ai, what's the use of saying all these now, Miss, you're still …" Hong Xiu knelt beside Liu Ruyun's bed and muttered to herself.

"Crunch." It sounded like someone was stepping on a branch outside the house.

Hong Xiu wanted to go out and check it out, but she suddenly thought of something and stopped herself in her tracks. She gritted her teeth and walked over to the table.

Liu Ruyun lay on the bed. Her expression was full of pain. Her hands were tightly wrapped in the blanket, as if she had been trapped by a nightmare. Her forehead was full of sweat. Even the corners of her eyes had been forced to tear.

Hong Xiu glanced at Liu Ruyun lying on the bed. With trembling hands, she opened the bottle stopper and touched the beads of sweat on her forehead. Carefully, she sprinkled the powder into a bowl.

"Second Young Madame, Second Young Madame." Hong Xiu reached out her hand and patted Liu Ruyun lightly, but Liu Ruyun didn't feel anything at all.

Hong Xiu pushed Liu Ruyun again. She didn't care about being humble anymore. Judging from the commotion outside the door, the eldest young master must have sent someone to keep an eye on her. If she didn't make a move soon, she would be in danger.

"Ah!" Being pushed by Hong Xiu like this, although Liu Ruyun still hadn't woken up, she still moaned softly.

Seeing Liu Ruyun open her mouth, Hong Xiu hurriedly grabbed a spoon and poured the soup into her mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough." Liu Ruyun kept coughing out the juice she had just drunk as she was fed too quickly.

Hong Xiu couldn't help but cry when she saw the situation unfold. She pleaded in a low voice, "I'm begging you, I'm begging you."

Hong Xiu took a cloth and wiped off the medicinal juice on the bed. She helped Liu Ruyun up and leaned against the bed. She then took the medicine bowl and slowly fed it to Liu Ruyun.

Only after Liu Ruyun ate half a bowl of the medicinal juice, did Hong Xiu heave a sigh of relief.

man in black, who was outside, also left.

"Is it done?"

"I saw Hong Xiu feed the medicine to Second Young Madame with my own eyes. There will be no mistake."

"Alright, you may leave."

The lights in Zhao Yuqing's room were turned off. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Tonight, even the moon was nowhere to be seen. Looking up, it seemed as if only black was left in this world, making one feel oppressed for no reason.

The servants also finished their work early, blowing out the lights and falling asleep.

That night, there seemed to be no sign of anyone moving.

The morning of the second day. The sky had just begun to brighten, and even before the people in the Zhao Mansion had woken up, there was no one in Yuan Yi's room.

"Liu Ruyun, Liu Rushuang, then are you Liu Ruyun or Liu Rushuang?" Yuan Yi, who had disappeared early in the morning, was now in Liu Ruyun's room. Hong Xiu, who was in a coma for some reason, was beneath his feet.

Yuan Yi stood not far from the bed. He stared at Liu Ruyun expressionlessly, but his hands were tightly clenched. For some reason, every time he saw this woman, he had a strange feeling that he had something to do with her.

Yesterday, when he saw that this woman was about to get into trouble and didn't care about other people's business, he had actually charged up to her for no apparent reason.

This was simply too strange. Furthermore, he had a feeling that there was a voice saying that this woman was the one he had to protect. Why?

When Yuan Yi came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of Yuan Yi's bed with his hand touching Liu Ruyun's face. After reacting, Yuan Yi quickly retracted his hand as if he was scalded by something.

It was unknown what Yuan Yi heard, but his expression changed and he disappeared in a flash.

"Uh, what happened? How could I have fallen asleep on the ground?" Hong Xiu rubbed her forehead and got up, shaking her head painfully as if she couldn't think of anything. Probably because she had a nightmare last night, Hong Xiu guessed.

"Hey, Yuan Yi, where did you go so early in the morning?" Su Qinghe waved his hand, trying to attract Yuan Yi's attention.

Yuan Yi, however, turned a blind eye and walked past Su Qinghe without even trying to trick him.

Su Qinghe wasn't angry. After putting down his hand, he followed closely behind Yuan Yi.

"I just went to look for you in your room, but you weren't there. Where did you go? You're not familiar with this place, so tell me." Yuan Yi's eyes were filled with curiosity and exploration. Yuan Yi had followed him here, so logically speaking, it had nothing to do with anyone here. Then why did Yuan Yi insist on staying here? Besides, he wasn't in his room early in the morning. Where would he go then?

"You don't have to worry about that." Yuan Yi finally replied. Although he said it as if he didn't say it.

Su Qinghe narrowed his eyes like a fox. "Alright, alright, alright. I won't ask you about this anymore." Su Qinghe walked a few steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Yi. He turned his head to the side and looked at Yuan Yi, "But you have to tell me why you are staying here. "Don't lie to me for any other reason, I know everything." Yuan Yi's complacent appearance was like that of a cheating cat.

Yuan Yi did not comment.

Seeing that Yuan Yi did not take the bait, Su Qinghe decided not to beat around the bush anymore.

"You need to know that this is the Zhao Mansion, and you also saw the young master of this family yesterday. You should know that this young master is not an ordinary person, and no matter what goals you have, I hope that you do not have too many connections with him. Su Qinghe was succinct and persuasive.

Su Qinghe was not a muddle-headed person, he could naturally see that this Yuan Yi definitely had another goal, which was probably related to Zhao Family. As a friend, Su Qinghe felt that it was his duty to advise his good friend and not to act rashly.

Besides, he and Zhao Yuqing could be considered as old friends. Naturally, he didn't want to see his two good friends to be so tense, otherwise, he didn't know who he should help from the middle.
