The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

For a long time afterwards, Sisi's mood was obviously affected.

She met Taotao several times, but just passed him by.

Taotao thought at first that she might not have seen him, but gradually he realized that even if she saw him, she would simply ignore him.

This made him even more gloomy, and at the same time, his temper became more irritable.

Because of his outstanding results in training new recruits, Hanhan directly promoted him to lieutenant general.

Even after being promoted, Taotao was still in a gloomy mood.

Before they knew it, it was the end of the year, and Shen Yanfeng and Jiang Sujin both wanted to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Caiyue and Linfeng stayed on Yazhou Island again, and Taotao did the same.

However, the day before departure, Sisi suddenly developed a fever.

Jiang Sujin had no choice but to leave her in Yazhou and told Taotao to protect her safety.

Taotao had often been assigned such tasks before, so this was not surprising.

But things are different now. The relationship between him and Sisi is subtle, which makes Taotao feel very conflicted.

Sisi was naturally unwilling to do so. She insisted on going with her mother, but was scolded by Jiang Sujin.

In the end, Sisi could only cover her head with the quilt with red eyes.

Jiang Sujin said to Caiyue, "Caiyue, ask Taotao to look after her. After all, she is older now, and it is not as convenient for her to go out as when she was little."

Caiyue: "Don't worry, Madam, I will make sure Taotao never leaves the young lady's side."

Jiang Sujin believed Caiyue. She gave Sisi a few more instructions and then set off with Shen Yanfeng.

Naturally, the two daughters-in-law and grandson must also be brought along.

Neither of the two elderly people have met them yet, so it's time to let them meet them.

After the princess, the prince and others left, the palace became noticeably empty.

After Sisi woke up, Caiyue hurriedly brought her medicine.

"Miss, take the medicine quickly, and you won't feel uncomfortable after taking it."

Sisi: "Aunt Yue, are my parents and brother gone?"

Caiyue: "They have already left, but don't worry, we have troops stationed at the border, we will be safe."

Sisi pouted and said, "I want to go see my grandma and grandpa, too."

Caiyue: "If there is no chance this year, there is still next year or the year after. In any case, there will definitely be a chance."

Sisi glanced at Caiyue, then hesitated for a while and said, "Aunt Yue, you don't need Taotao to protect me. I won't go out carelessly."

Caiyue: "That won't work. The Queen has ordered that he must ensure your safety. Don't worry, he is a man and it is not convenient for him to come in, but he will guard your yard. As long as you want to go out, you can let him accompany you!"

Sisi lowered her eyelids and said, "Okay!"

Taotao looked at the candlelight in the window. He actually wanted to go and see if she was feeling better.

But a woman's boudoir is not something that a man can enter casually.

Taotao kept walking back and forth in the yard until it was almost dark before his mother came out.

"Why don't you sleep in the servants' quarters? That way it will be easier to protect the young lady."

Taotao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Caiyue glanced at him, then whispered, "Mother knows that you are in a complicated mood right now, just treat her as your master and don't have any other distracting thoughts."

Taotao said in a deep voice: "I know!"

Caiyue: "Xin'er has taken care of you for so long, how do you feel about Xin'er?"

Taotao glanced at his mother, then said in a cold voice: "Mom, if you really like her, just marry her."

Upon hearing this, Caiyue couldn't help but reach out and hit him: "You idiot, if you don't like me, just tell me clearly."

Taotao: "Didn't I make it clear? You gave her the key to my yard, and she goes there by herself every day. What can I do?"

Caiyue glanced at him, then turned and left.

Taotao glanced at the dim light in the room, and then couldn't help but sigh silently.

Sisi approached the door and saw a tall figure outside.

She frowned slightly, then turned back to the bed.

She hadn't seen him for a long time, and now when she saw him again, he felt as if he had become familiar yet strange.

Taotao stayed there until late at night before the guards came to replace him.

The next morning, when Sisi finished washing up and walked out of the bedroom, Taotao was already at her door.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw him, then turned around and went back to the bedroom.

It was obvious that she didn't want to see him, let alone talk to him.

This man is treacherous, obviously...

Never mind, it was all her own fault for being too naive.

Caiyue brought the medicine. After she drank the medicine, she ate something.

The condition has obviously improved a lot. The fever is gone and I feel more energetic.

Besides, the sun was shining brightly today, so she also wanted to go out and bask in the sun.

It was just that he was outside, which made her not want to go out either.

After a while, she suddenly stood up.

She is obviously the master, why should she hide from him?

After thinking about this, she turned around and walked to the door, then opened it again.

Taotao was visibly stunned when he saw the door suddenly open.

Sisi glanced at him sideways, and then said unhappily, "You don't have to watch over me every day. I'm not a child anymore. I won't run away."

Tao Tao said expressionlessly, "I am following the orders of the Majesty to protect the young lady. I dare not slack off in the slightest."

Sisi: "There are so many guards in this yard, they can protect me well."

Taotao: "But the queen has given me the task, so I cannot leave my post without permission."

Sisi looked at his dead face and became even more angry.

She wanted to turn around and go back to the house, but then she thought that this was her own yard, and she couldn't bear to be depressed no matter what.

She went straight down the steps and walked to the swing in the yard.

She sat on the swing and pointed at a guard casually.

"Come and help me push the swing."

"It's Miss!"

"Wait!" Taotao suddenly said with a cold face.

Sisi: “What are you going to do?”

Taotao: "There are differences between men and women. How can they touch your precious body?"

Sisi: "I asked him to push the rope, but he didn't have to push me."

Taotao: "That won't work either."

Hearing this, Sisi couldn't help but stare at him and said, "Why do you care about my business?"

Tao Tao said seriously, "I am ordered to protect the young lady, so I must protect her reputation. If the young lady wants to swing, you can ask the maid to help you push it."

Sisi glared at him, then turned around and went back to the room.

Taotao looked at the closed door, the expression on his face still looked frighteningly ugly.

Sisi doesn't care about her reputation so much that sooner or later she will be tricked by these guards.

He glanced at the guards in the yard with a cold face. There must be someone among them who was coveting Sisi's beauty. After all, her beauty was that of a peerless beauty.

He knew the dirty thoughts of men very well.
