Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shen Nankui could no longer hold on and fell asleep in Gu Yichuan's arms with peace of mind.

Soon, Captain Liu and the village head found them.

Seeing that Shen Nankui was still alive, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly escorted them ashore.

It was not until the late night that Gu Yichuan finally brought Shen Nankui home safely.

But he had no time to rest. Shen Nankui had been soaking in the water for too long and now had a high fever. He had just asked a doctor to come and prescribe medicine, which was boiled by Liang. He then fetched some warm water, wiped Shen Nankui's body himself, and changed her into clean clothes.

There was a commotion in the room, and Gu's mother couldn't sleep, so she came over to take a look.

Seeing her son taking care of Shen Nankui in every detail, she couldn't help but curl her lips, "You are a scholar, and you will be an official in the future. How can you do these things to serve others?"

"If I don't do it, will Mom do it?"

Mother Gu glared at him and said, "This is so unfair. How can a mother-in-law serve her daughter-in-law?"

"Since mother won't help, don't get in the way here. Go back to your room and rest. She is my wife, so I will naturally take good care of her."

"Is it that serious? It's just a fever. You won't die!"

Mother Gu just couldn't bear to see her precious son being so nice to a woman, even though that woman was his wife.

Gu Yichuan's busy figure paused.

He lowered his voice and said, "Mom, Nan Kui just had a close call today. She is lucky to be able to come back. I hope you won't say such things again in the future."

"If you don't say it, don't say it."

Her son was almost going crazy today, and Mother Gu didn't want to offend him again, so she simply went back to the house.

Anyway, she has come to see Shen Nankui, so it is acceptable in terms of face.

When she returned to her room, Song Dong'er was waiting at her door. When she saw Mother Gu, she asked, "Aunt, how is she?"

"I can't die!"

After saying this, Mother Gu glanced at her in confusion, "Haven't you been ignoring her recently? Why are you still concerned about her?"

Song Dong'er said, "Just now some soldiers followed us back. I was scared, so I had to ask."

Mother Gu hugged her and said, "If you are afraid, just sleep with me. Anyway, she is back. Other things have nothing to do with us."

"She today..."

Song Dong'er looked hesitant, as if she wanted to ask something but didn't dare to.

Gu's mother knew what she wanted to ask, so she said, "The soldiers said that she was fine, but she almost lost her life when she jumped into the water to escape. I think Shen was lucky to be able to come back safely. On the contrary, it was said that the villain's neck was almost pierced by her, and his life is in danger now..."

Mother Gu looked sad, but also a little admiring.

My second daughter-in-law is not only talented and knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that she is also so courageous.

If an ordinary person were to encounter something like this today, I'm afraid it would be difficult to save them...

Song Dong'er's eyes flashed, but she said nothing.

Mother Gu hugged her and walked into the house, "You are a girl, so don't ask about these things. You will be scared if you don't hear them."

"By the way, after something like this happened, the town is no longer safe. I think you should go out less and stay at home with me more, so that I won't have trouble seeing you after you get married."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, aunt." Song Dong'er nodded obediently.

-

Gu Yichuan stayed with Shen Nankui for a whole night, and her fever finally subsided at dawn.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming again and again that her fever had subsided.

Gu Yichuan climbed onto the bed and lay down on the side. He reached out and gently hugged her, then he closed his eyes.

Shen Nankui fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up, she was in Gu Yichuan's arms.

She knew that it must be Gu Yichuan who took care of her all night. She was afraid of waking him up, so even if she woke up, she didn't move, just staring blankly at the handsome face in front of her.

In fact, this face is not really that handsome at the moment.

The dark eye sockets, messy stubble, and dry, flaky lips made him look a little more aged.

Shen Nankui was about to touch his face when Gu Yichuan's expression suddenly changed.

He seemed to be dreaming, his brows were tightly knitted together, and his lips were opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something.

His expression was so anxious that Shen Nankui couldn't help but move closer to listen.

I could only hear him mumbling indistinctly: "Nan Kui, where are you? Don't leave me, where are you..."

Shen Nankui felt a pang in her heart, and she held his face gently, calling softly: "I'm here, Yichuan, I'm by your side..."

Hearing her voice, Gu Yichuan gradually calmed down in his sleep.

After a while, Gu Yichuan woke up.

He looked at the person in front of him quietly for a long time, and suddenly hugged her tightly. Shen Nankui was originally dozing off, and seeing this, she stretched out her arms to respond to him.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and Liang suddenly knocked on the door outside.

"Second sister-in-law, are you awake? I made some porridge. Can you get up and have some?"

Shen Nankui blushed and quickly pushed Gu Yichuan away, "Go open the door for my sister-in-law."

Gu Yichuan reluctantly got up from her side and went to open the door.

After the door opened, Liang didn't come in. She just asked, "How is my second brother's wife? Has her fever gone down?"

Gu Yichuan nodded, "Retreat."

"Then bring this porridge in and feed her some. This is the lean meat porridge I specially made for her. Poor sister-in-law, such a beautiful person, how can she suffer this kind of hardship..."

Shen Nankui's voice came from afar, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law!"

Liang replied, "It's okay, it's okay, second sister-in-law, if you want to eat anything, just tell me and I'll make it for you."

After she left, Gu Yichuan brought the porridge into the room.

When Shen Nankui smelled the aroma of rice and meat, her stomach started to growl with hunger, so she stretched out her hand.

"I'm really a little hungry. This bowl of porridge from my sister-in-law came just in time!"

Gu Yichuan didn't give it to her. He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and then fed it to her mouth.

"My sister-in-law told me to feed you."

Shen Nankui rolled her eyes, "Is this what sister-in-law meant?"

Gu Yichuan nodded, "I think so."

Shen Nankui looked helpless, but felt sweet in her heart. She drank the porridge from his hand.

in the afternoon.

After finishing her work, Liang came over and talked to her for a long time. She learned from Shen Nankui about the dangerous situation yesterday and her face turned pale with fright.

"Second sister-in-law, you are so lucky. When I think of that bloody scene, I get scared..."

Shen Nankui was also afraid, but there was nothing he could do.

If she didn't save herself, she would be at the mercy of others. Fortunately, she won.

Liang thought the same thing and said angrily, "Fortunately, this villain has been caught. I think he should be executed so that he won't harm the world again!"

Shen Nankui also learned from Gu Yichuang who the person who arrested her was. It was said that he was the son of a wealthy man in the town, and seemed to be related to the county magistrate. He had said the same thing in front of her before.

If he really has a close relationship with the county magistrate, would there be any changes when the case reaches the county seat?
