Ji Yanli stood up, looked around Zhou Ning, compared their heights, and said with a smile: "Little Ning has grown so big. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

Zhou Ning sneered and said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, you have become the governor of Kyoto Prefecture."

Ji Yanli had always kept them out, and she didn't believe that Ji Yanli knew nothing about it.

Ji Yanli laughed and said, "Little Ning still has such a bad temper."

"Stop talking nonsense. Why did you kidnap my sister?" Zhou Ning asked quickly.

Ji Yanli smiled and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Sit down and talk slowly."

Seeing that Ji Yanli was trying to smooth things over, Zhou Ning directly took out the imperial edict, looked at Ji Yanli coldly, and asked, "No need to say anything, release him."

Ji Yanli opened his folding fan, covering half of his face, so his expression could not be seen. He said, "Okay, let him go."

"Someone, come and release Miss Zhou Wan. This matter will be over now." Ji Yanli said with a smile.

Zhou Ning didn't want to say more and walked away.

"Don't you want to know who did this?" Ji Yanli asked.

Zhou Ning paused for a moment, turned back and looked at Ji Yanli steadily, and said: "No matter who is behind you, go back and tell him that I, Zhou Ning, am a fearless young man. If he dares to do it again and let my family suffer the slightest harm, I will repay him a thousandfold and make him wish he were dead!"

Zhou Ning is still a graceful young girl, but now she looks murderous and violent.

The wooden sign hidden in the clothes glowed dimly.

It's like... a demon crawling out of hell.

It was not until Zhou Ning left that Ji Yanli called out his men and whispered a few instructions to them.

Duke Shen’s Mansion.

Shen You had already woken up, but was lying on the bed, lacking strength.

Qi Ji blew the medicine carefully and fed Shen You patiently.

Shen You was very obedient when taking medicine. She would not refuse to drink it even if the medicine was bitter.

Because she didn't want to make others worry.

Qi Ji took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which contained a few pieces of candied fruit. Qi Ji coaxed Shen You and said, "Eat some candied fruit and it won't be bitter."

Shen You smiled and said, "I'm not a child anymore, you don't have to coax me with candied fruit."

As he spoke, Shen You finished a bowl of medicine without even frowning.

Although Shen You is lively and cute on weekdays, she is actually quite calm and strong inside, and she only acts like a child for others to see.

Qi Ji looked at Shen You and felt a little distressed.

She is always very sensible and looks sunny, as if she has no worries. But in fact, she hides her wounds quietly so as not to worry others.

Seeing Qi Ji frowning, Shen You thought that Qi Ji was worried about her, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "My injury only looks serious, but it doesn't hurt much. I'm in good health, so I'll be fine in a while. You don't have to worry."

As she spoke, she patted her chest to show that she was fine.

Qi Ji put the handkerchief in Shen You's hand, frowned, and said, "If you were really fine, why would you faint? Don't say things like 'It's okay, I'm fine' in the future. Even if you don't want us to worry, you shouldn't wrong yourself, understand?"

While speaking, Qi Ji's gaze was following Shen You from beginning to end, as gentle and pure as the bright moon, and as emotional as spring in March.

Shen You laughed and accepted the candied fruit.

She picked up one of the preserves and took a big bite.

The candied fruit is not particularly sweet, but rather sour and sweet, which makes people recall the maple forest in October, the warm sunshine, and the hazy eyes of their lover.

Shen You smiled and said, "Very sweet."

Shen You remembered what Zhou Ning said, and said, "I still have a use for this handkerchief, so I'll take it first. I'll give you a better one someday."

Qi Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "If you like it, I'll give it to you. You don't have to return it to me."

Shen You felt sweet in her heart. She looked at the handkerchief carefully, but found that there were neither plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, nor the plants that Qi Ji had always liked, but jasmine flowers that only young girls liked, and the word "Jasmine" was embroidered on it.

It's obvious that this was given by a girl.

Shen You felt a little jealous and asked sourly, "Who embroidered this for you? Which girl is this? Is she pretty? The embroidery is so good."

It was the first time Qi Ji saw Shen You acting like a little girl. He was a little dazed. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly explained, "This handkerchief was made by the embroiderer in my house. As for Jasmine..."

Qi Ji coughed twice and said, "It was that day when you held the jasmine flowers. I thought it was... very beautiful, so I kept it in my heart."

Shen You didn't expect this would be the answer. She held the jasmine that day just because jasmine was the most beautiful flower in An Ning's yard, but she never paid much attention to it.

Qi Ji's face flushed, which was very different from his usual decent appearance. Shen You couldn't help but tease him.

"Am I more beautiful, Jasmine or... am I more beautiful?" Shen You took the initiative to approach Qi Ji.

The girl suddenly came closer, and Qi Ji subconsciously lowered his head.

He saw that the girl was holding the handkerchief he had just handed over. It seemed as if his body temperature was intertwined with the girl's body temperature in the silk handkerchief.

Somehow, Qi Ji suddenly thought of what An Ning said about menstrual blood, and felt very hot for a moment.

"Qi Ji, what's wrong with you?" Shen You looked at Qi Ji with a smile and continued to tease him.

"Are you hot? Your face is so red."

It was very strange. Shen You obviously didn't do anything inappropriate and didn't even test his body temperature, but Qi Ji just felt that the body temperature, the atmosphere, and Shen You at this moment made him unable to control his emotions.

Originally, Qi Ji thought that to express his feelings to Shen You, he must choose an auspicious day and a beautiful scenery.

But at this time Qi Ji felt that it would be better to do it today than to wait for a day.

"Shen You, I have something in my heart that I have kept in my heart for a long time." Qi Ji raised his head and looked at Shen You seriously.

Facing this sudden question, Shen You subconsciously responded: "What?"

"I treat you..."

"Yuzu! Let me tell you, the governor of Kyoto Prefecture..."

Zhou Ning angrily put her hands on her hips, strode in from outside, and said angrily.

As soon as she came in, Zhou Ning saw Shen You and Qi Ji looking at each other.

This atmosphere?

"You two...what are you doing?" Zhou Ning asked.

Qi Ji quickly stood up to make room for Zhou Ning, and Shen You also hurriedly hid the handkerchief. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Zhou Ning sat down next to Shen You and said, "Let me tell you, the governor of Kyoto Prefecture is actually Ji Yanli. Can you believe it? A year ago, our family and the Ji family suddenly fell out. I should have been more careful and paid more attention to their family..."
