Yuan Buwei didn't say anything and touched his other hand, which was also cold.

She frowned and placed three fingers on his pulse.

After a while.

Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui with displeasure: "Did you ask Butler Ye to bring you some ice?"

"No." Lu Sui argued, "It's not midsummer now, what do I need ice for?"

"Then why are your palms cold? Your pulse and physical condition are all normal."

"I'm a patient, how should I know?"

Seeing Lu Sui's eyes darting around, he didn't dare to look at himself.

Yuan Buwei was sure he was pretending.

He stuffed his hand into the quilt, took out another quilt from the cupboard and covered him with it.

"Avi, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you were cold? Then I'll add another blanket for you. If you still feel cold, I'll ask Chenxiang to light a charcoal fire for you."

Lu Sui fell silent for a moment.

How did Avi see through my little trick so easily?

He is emotional.

Yuan Buwei saw Lu Sui's puffy cheeks, as if it was the first time she saw him so childish: "I don't sleep in bed, not because I dislike you, but because I'm really worried that it will press on your wound. Besides, I'm really not honest when I sleep."

Hearing Yuan Buwei's explanation, Lu Sui pursed his lips and said, "I don't care about this."

"So what do you care about?"

Of course I care about you.

Lu Sui added silently in his heart.

He could sense that even if Avi could take the initiative to kiss him and would be willing to let him kiss her, the look in her eyes when she looked at him was always calm, like a pool of stagnant water, as if she had already lived once, and nothing at the moment could cause any fluctuations in her heart.

"nothing."

Lu Sui whispered and pulled the quilt down: "Go to sleep."

"Well, do you want to take the blanket away?"

"Take it, it's a little hot."

Yuan Buwei shook her head and chuckled. After putting the bedding back into the wooden cabinet, she made sure that Lu Sui had closed his eyes before she lay down.

She likes to read medical books before going to bed.

The occasional sound of flipping papers and Yuan Buwei's shallow breathing serve as the best hypnotic agents.

Lu Sui soon fell into a deep sleep.

Yuan Buwei heard Lu Sui's long breathing, thought for a moment and blew out the candle on the bedside.

Fortunately, the moonlight outside was very good, and it could illuminate a hazy outline of the house.

Yuan Buwei curled up in the quilt and fell asleep after a while.

At midnight, the entire Wanning Marquis Mansion was pitch dark.

Suddenly.

A scream came from a room in the backyard, waking up everyone in the backyard.

"Butler Ye, Butler Ye."

The servant hurried to Butler Ye's room, his face pale: "Something happened."

A few minutes later.

Ye Qian and several servants rushed to the scene of the accident.

It was Yayue's room.

As soon as I stepped in, I saw her sitting on the ground in dishevel, her hands covered in blood, and in front of her was a corpse.

Ye Qian acknowledged his face.

He was a new groom who had just arrived at the stable.

"Miss Yayue, what's wrong with you?"

"Butler Ye, Butler Ye..." The moment Ya Yue saw Ye Qian, tears welled up in her eyes, "Please, take me to see the young marquis, please."

Ye Qian ignored her and turned to ask the guard of the courtyard: "What's going on? Have you found out?"

"I also came in after hearing the noise, but I was still a step too late. The groom died."

"Why did he come to the front yard instead of staying in the backyard and evade your guards?"

"He must have climbed over the back wall."

Ye Qian looked gloomy as he looked at Ya Yue who was crying and kowtowing: "Did you kill this groom?"

"Butler Ye, when I was half asleep, this man climbed onto my bed and tried to do something bad to me. He also said, and said..." Yayue's body trembled, feeling very aggrieved. "Butler Ye, please let me see the young marquis. If I can't see him, I will hit my head and die here."

"You see, the young marquis is just asking him to make the decision for you. Anything that happens in the backyard is under my control. If you say so, I can make the decision for you."

"No, I am the young marquis's woman. I will only tell him after I meet him." Yayue insisted, biting her lower lip. She looked strong, like a little white flower swaying in the wind and rain.

"It's already past midnight, and the young marquis has been asleep for a long time. Do you have to wake up the entire Wanning Marquisate at this critical moment?" Ye Qian is usually gentle with everyone, but that doesn't mean he has no temper. People who are familiar with his temper know that he is someone who is not easy to mess with. Otherwise, how could he become the steward of Wanning Marquisate at such a young age?

"I'm just too scared. I don't dare stay in the room alone. I'm afraid that as soon as I close my eyes, someone will violate me again." Yayue curled up into a ball, trying to use her weakness to arouse the pity of Butler Ye.

"Since you are afraid, I will find a few maids to accompany you."

Just as Ye Qian was about to ask someone to find a maid, Ya Yue suddenly came up and held his hand.

I lowered my head to see her tear-stained face, and then her overly exposed chest.

He suddenly shook his hand away and took several steps back: "Miss Yayue, are you doing such a shameless thing just to see the young marquis?"

"what."

Yayue fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the next second, she spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Qian was shocked by her action, he didn't use any strength at all.

"Butler Ye, I just want to see the young marquis. Why are you so harsh to a weak woman like me?" After saying this, Ya Yue rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground.

This made Ye Qian at a loss.

The servants at the back were also dumbfounded.

Until a servant spoke up carefully: "Butler Ye, how about I go and report to the young lady? The young lady goes to bed late, and she probably hasn't rested yet at this time."

Ye Qian looked at Ya Yue who had fainted on the ground and did not dare to move her rashly, for fear that she would do something shocking again.

"You guys stay here, I'm going to find the young lady."

The first person awakened by the knock on the door was Lu Sui.

He glanced at Yuan Buwei who was sleeping soundly and coughed lightly: "What's the matter?"

Ye Qian was stunned for a moment outside the door. He was not mistaken in hearing the voice of the young marquis: "Young marquis, I have something to ask the young lady."

Lu Sui glanced at the sleeping Yuan Buwei and frowned: "Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

"It's that Miss Yayue."

"what happened?"

The noise still woke Yuan Buwei up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, lit the candle in the room, put on her coat, and then opened the door.

"Butler Ye, it's so late? Is there something wrong?"

"Young Madam, it's that Yayue..." Ye Qian moved closer to Yuan Buwei and told her what happened in her ear.

Yuan Buwei looked at Ye Qian in surprise.

I thought Yayue would climb into Lu Sui's bed, but she did the opposite. It seems that he underestimated her: "Where is she now?"

"Still lying on the floor in the room."
