Jiang Yutong only felt a little stronger after eating a meal.

Only then did I have the energy to ask about the situation at home, "How is my brother today? Does he know that something happened to me?"

Dongmei nodded. "I didn't dare let the young master know. I was the one who delivered the dinner. He asked about you, and I said you were busy all day at the Cui Mansion and caught a bit of a breeze, so you have a headache and you should rest for now."

At this point, Dongmei added, "Doctor Dong insisted on coming over to see you, but I stopped him."

Jiang Yutong nodded. "You did a great job. He's still recuperating. Don't let him worry about these things."

Then he asked about Huanhuan, "Where's Huanhuan?"

"I sent Huanhuan away too, using the same reason."

At this moment, the sound of the inner courtyard door opening was heard, and Banban hummed softly, sounding like she was acting coquettishly, "Go and see, who's here so late?"

Dongmei walked out with the light on, and came back after a while, "Miss, it's Master Xiao."

When Jiang Yutong heard that it was Xiao Yifeng, she tightened her clothes and said, "Help me out. I have something to ask you."

Chunyan supported Jiang Yutong, and Dongmei went to the outer room with a light on. "Please invite Xiao Yifeng in."

Chunyan arranged for Jiang Yutong to sit down and placed a thick cushion behind the chair.

After a while, Xiao Yifeng walked in. Against the light, he couldn't be seen clearly. Jiang Yutong smiled and greeted him, "Why are you here so late?"

Xiao Yifeng saw Jiang Yutong sitting on the armchair and looked at her carefully. He found that she was in good spirits. Although her complexion was not as good as usual, it was not as bad as in the afternoon.

Hearing Jiang Yutong's greeting, he whispered, "I was worried about you, so I came to see if you're feeling better."

Jiang Yutong nodded, "Much better. The doctor said there's nothing serious wrong with me. I just need to rest."

Jiang Yutong asked Xiao Yifeng to sit down and instructed Chunyan, "Go pour a glass of boiled water for Mr. Xiao. Don't drink tea so late at night. You won't be able to sleep then."

Chunyan immediately went to work, and Dongmei followed her out and stood at the door.

Jiang Yutong and Xiao Yifeng were the only ones left in the room.

Xiao Yifeng immediately felt uncomfortable, and the scene in the carriage in the afternoon unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Jiang Yutong had completely forgotten about the incident and was only thinking about what happened in Cui's house.

"You saved me today at Cui's house? Where's Li Nanxing?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Jiang Yutong and found that she looked confused?

Jiang Yutong explained, "My mind is still a mess, and I can't remember many things clearly."

Xiao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Li Nanxing, I've arranged for someone to send her back to Shangyuan Village. I happened to be at Cui's residence today for something, and that's when I spotted you. I conveniently escorted you out of the residence."

Jiang Yutong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Li Nanxing had returned to Shangyuan Village. "That's good. Today is all thanks to you."

Xiao Yifeng was also scared at this time. If he had not gone to Cui Mansion today, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Bring more people with you when you go out next time. If not, I'll find you some women with kung fu skills. The people around you are useless and can't take care of you if something unexpected happens."

Jiang Yutong didn't expect Xiao Yifeng to have thought so much about her. "I was thinking about this too. I suggested that Dongmei and Chunyan learn some martial arts. This way they can not only protect themselves but also help me."

Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice, "After all, learning martial arts now is too slow. Leave this matter to me. I will find a few people who are good at boxing and kicking, and then it won't be too late to teach these maids boxing and kicking."

Jiang Yutong nodded, thinking that Xiao Yifeng's arrangement was good. "Then I'll trouble you."

Xiao Yifeng touched his nose and said, "Nothing, just a small matter."

After saying this, the two of them suddenly fell into strange silence, and the atmosphere inexplicably became a little suffocating.

"you......"

"you......"

Both men spoke at the same time.

Jiang Yutong coughed lightly and said, "You speak first."

"You speak first."

They all said it in unison again. Jiang Yutong couldn't stand it anymore. Why did she feel something was weird today?

Jiang Yutong spoke first, "I didn't do anything out of the ordinary today, did I?"

Things that shouldn't have appeared in Xiao Yifeng's mind immediately appeared, and his ears turned red.

After a moment's silence, he said, "No."

Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good.

"What did you just say?"

Xiao Yifeng felt a little uncomfortable staying there any longer, so he stood up and said, "Nothing, I'm leaving first. I've already arranged for someone to investigate the Cui Mansion's affairs. Be careful when you go out next time."

After saying this, he had already stepped to the door, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Jiang Yutong could only say loudly, "I understand. Aren't you staying overnight tonight?"

A "no" came from outside the door.

When Chunyan came over with boiled water, she saw Xiao Yifeng's back.

She muttered, "Why is Mr. Xiao walking so fast?"

"Miss, Master Xiao is gone. Am I too slow?"

Jiang Yutong took the boiled water from Chunyan's tray and said, "Nothing, he might have an emergency at home."

Jiang Yutong took a big sip of the water that Chunyan poured for her, and the anger in her heart subsided a little. She had just been with Xiao Yifeng and felt inexplicably hot.

Jiang Yutong thought to himself that the effect of the medicine must not have worn off yet, it must be like this.

Having slept a lot during the day, Jiang Yutong couldn't fall asleep at the moment. Chunyan and Dongmei had been busy all day, so they quickly sent them to rest. The two refused to go, "You are still very weak today. You must have someone to accompany you. How can I let you stay alone?"

Jiang Yutong has never had the habit of having anyone sleep with her, so usually they just rest on their own.

Dongmei continued, "Chunyan and I will each guard for a while. Don't worry, young lady. We will just stay in the small room outside for one night."

Jiang Yutong couldn't persuade them, so she could only let them do as they pleased. In order for them to rest early, Jiang Yutong also went to bed early.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Yutong couldn't fall asleep for a while. She thought about the things in Cui Mansion in her mind. As she thought about it, she remembered more and more things. She remembered that Xiao Yifeng kicked open the door, took her upstairs, and finally found Dongmei.

She even remembered how she dealt with Madam Cui, and at the same time remembered the help of Princess Changning. She thought to herself that she would find an opportunity to visit Princess Changning in a few days. This time, it was thanks to Princess Changning, otherwise it would definitely not be so easy for her to deal with Madam Cui.

I can't remember what happened afterwards. I just remember the scene of myself clinging tightly to Xiao Yifeng in the room, and Xiao Yifeng's face full of resistance. I guess Xiao Yifeng's abnormal behavior today was caused by this incident.

Jiang Yutong secretly clapped his hands, "Why are you so restless? Look, you scared people away, didn't you?"
