Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "You are right, I still don't know how to address you, Miss?"

"My name is Hua Xin."

Seeing that he had just woken up and was still very weak, Hua Xin asked again, "Are you hungry? Have some porridge later. You haven't eaten for a long time, right?"

Yin Zhen originally wanted to refuse, but his stomach started to growl, so he had no choice but to agree.

Song Guanqing came back soon. Seeing that the person on the bed had woken up and Hua Xin was still talking to him, he walked faster.

"Chu Li and Yun Xiao put the food next door. This is the porridge you asked me to prepare. Now that he's awake, let me feed him!"

Song Guanqing didn't want Hua Xin to feed him personally.

Yin Zhen looked at the man who had just come in, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted to him.

He was dressed in a white robe, with a slender and upright figure and elegant temperament, like an immortal descending to earth.

Yin Zhen thought he was quite good-looking, but he never expected to meet such an extraordinary man today.

If he didn't speak, he would think he was some kind of immortal cultivator!

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was inexplicably gentle, but all this gentleness was given to the woman named Hua Xin.

Song Guanqing was also attracted to the person on the bed. He had kept his eyes closed before and didn't feel anything. But now that he was awake, although his face was pale, his facial features were delicate and there was a hint of sickly beauty between his eyebrows, which made people feel pity for him.

He really has a good appearance!

Hua Xin frowned slightly and said softly: "You feed me? Then let me do it!"

Hua Xin really couldn't imagine how Song Guanqing looked after someone.

Little did he know that Song Guanqing had already walked over, gently lifted Yin Zhen's head, and helped him sit up.

"Are you dizzy?"

Yin Zhen was stunned and immediately said, "No."

Song Guanqing took a few more pillows and stuffed them under his lower back, and also put a soft pillow under his back: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, fine."

Yin Zhen felt a little embarrassed, but he was very weak, so he let Song Guanqing do whatever he wanted.

Hua Xin, who was standing by, saw this and raised her eyebrows. It seemed to be the case.

"Huahua, you're not feeling well, so you should just rest aside. I'm here. If you're hungry, go eat next door first."

Song Guanqing took the porridge, scooped a spoonful and brought it to Yin Zhen's mouth.

"Um...how about I do it myself?"

Yin Zhen didn't know why, but he always felt that being fed was a bit weird.

"Can you eat it yourself?"

Hua Xin wondered if the medicine she had just given him had taken effect. He looked much more energetic.

"Ah."

The two watched him eat a few bites before they were sure that he could really eat by himself, and only then did they feel relieved.

"I don't know what this brother's name is, my name is Yin Zhen."

"My name is He Qingyan." Song Guanqing didn't want to cause trouble for Hua Xin, so he always used this name to tell others.

"Thank you for your care, Brother He. You can all go eat next door! I can take care of myself."

Yin Zhen looked at them and quickly noticed Hua Xin's hairstyle. Could it be that she was married? So they were a couple?

"You just woke up and your body is still very weak. You need to rest well." Hua Xin's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing past the ears, warming people's hearts.

Yin Zhen's thoughts were interrupted and he didn't even notice when he finished the porridge, even the bowl was empty.

Song Guanqing took the bowl very smoothly and asked, "Do you want to drink more?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Mo Chuli's voice: "Xinxin, can I come in?"

When Hua Xin heard Mo Chuli's voice, she quickly replied, "Come in!"

Then, a graceful young man walked in slowly.

The moment Yin Zhen saw Mo Chuli, he was stunned again.

He couldn't help but wonder, did he really disturb the gods' nest?

Why is everyone here so good-looking?

However, he didn't know that when he was looking at Mo Chuli, Mo Chuli was also looking at him.

After all, for Mo Chuli who knows Hua Xin's character, he will be alert to anything that may threaten his position.

What's more, the man in front of him was so handsome that people couldn't help but be wary.

Mo Chuli cleared his throat, turned his eyes away from Yin Zhen, turned to Hua Xin and said, "Yun Xiao asked me to come over and ask if you want to go over for dinner? We can take turns guarding this young master later."

After saying this, he frowned slightly, wondering in his heart, what is the origin of this young man?

Since he couldn't get an answer for the time being, he decided to shift his attention to Hua Xin.

"You all should go eat! I don't have anything to do right now."

How could Yin Zhen dare to let them guard him, thinking that he might have caused trouble for them along the way.

"Qingyan, you and Chuli go over and eat together! I'm not hungry now, I'll stay with him first."

After Hua Xin said this, no one dared to say anything, and they all went to the next room.

Yin Zhen was immediately shocked. Who was this woman and why were they so obedient?

"Um... Miss Hua, thank you for your help."

"If you have the strength, why not tell me your story?"

Hua Xin sat down beside Yin Zhen's bed and just looked at him.

Yin Zhen really wanted to refuse, but for some reason, when he looked at Hua Xin, he couldn't say no.

After listening to Yin Zhen’s story, Hua Xin felt it was a bit melodramatic, but not too much.

Yin Zhen was the legitimate son of Yin Dechang, the prefect of Yuzhou.

But he had an older brother who was one year older than him. He was born to his aunt and was the eldest son out of wedlock.

Yin Dechang's first wife, Ye, was the legitimate daughter of the former governor of Yuzhou. Unfortunately, she died of complications during childbirth of Yin Zhen.

After that, Yin Dechang did not remarry, but instead made his concubine Wu his legal wife, which made the original illegitimate eldest son become the legitimate eldest son. Although Yin Zhen was also a legitimate son, his status had undergone subtle changes.

To make matters more complicated, Wu later gave birth to a son for Yin Dechang, which made the situation of Yin Zhen, the legitimate son of his ex-wife, even more awkward.

As the saying goes, "A child without a mother is like a weed." Yin Zhen's childhood was so unfortunate.

When he showed his academic prowess, he aroused Wu's fear and she wanted to destroy the child.

Since Yin Zhen was twelve years old, Wu began to send people to his room frequently.

Some of these women were about his age, while others were a few years older.

They were sent to Yin Zhen in an attempt to seduce, influence and even control him.

Yin Zhen rejected all the women who were sent to him and sent them out of the room.

He devoted himself to studying, hoping to pass the imperial examinations so that he could leave home as soon as possible and start his own business.

However, such behavior did not stop Wu's conspiracy, but instead made her hateful.

As a result, Wu began to intensify his efforts against Yin Zhen, and his suppression and persecution became increasingly severe.
