After hearing Qi Ziyao's answer, Shitou said blankly, "Okay," and continued to guard outside.

Qi Ziyao sat on the bed, calmed himself down, looked around, and then took out the book from under the pillow like a thief.

But the more he read, the redder his face became, and he frowned as he flipped through the book that Liu gave him.

After a while, Qi Ziyao stood up and put the book under the pillow again.

He seemed to understand something.

Pushing the door open and walking out, Qi Ziyao saw Shi Tou sitting at the door. When Shi Tou saw him coming out, he patted the dirt off his butt and stood up from the ground.

He said naively, "Master."

Qi Ziyao nodded and asked him, "Did you see anything?"

He thought to himself that the stone was at the door, so he wouldn't see him reading that kind of book, right?

Shitou scratched his head and replied in confusion: "Master, what are you talking about? I didn't see anything, and no one came to the yard."

Qi Ziyao smiled and felt relieved.

He walked in front and Shitou followed behind him. Qi Ziyao actually had some questions before he went out, so he wanted to ask Liu for more advice.

such as……

When a woman says "no", how can we tell whether she is just saying it and meaning it or if she really doesn't want to continue?

Gu family.

Gu Qingyuan realized that she hadn't visited Lu Rui for a while. Thinking of his injuries, she wondered if they had healed.

She brought some food, which was medicinal porridge made by the kitchen for Lu Rui to nourish her body, and walked towards Lanyuan.

Along the way, the servants in the mansion were a little curious when they saw Gu Qingyuan holding something in her hand.

But thinking of Gu Qingyuan's personality, no one dared to ask more questions and they all stepped aside.

When they arrived at the gate of Lanyuan, Gu Qingyuan saw Lu Rui in the yard, dragging his legs with difficulty to move.

During this period, in order to be able to walk like a normal person, Lu Rui spent a lot of time every day practicing walking like a child learning to walk.

Gu Qingyuan walked over and put the food box aside.

Lu Rui suddenly fell to the ground. He had been practicing for a long time, and his originally healthy leg was now sore and weak. When he saw Gu Qingyuan, he wanted to walk towards her.

A trace of pain appeared in those emerald eyes. Gu Qingyuan walked over to support him without hesitation, and placed his arm on her shoulders, saying to him, "I understand how you feel right now, but this is a long process."

There was a struggle in Lu Rui's eyes. He said, "I feel like I'm completely useless right now."

Originally, he thought that he would be displaced forever, so Gu Qingyuan bought him back. However, she did not let him work like other people, but instead made him be served with good food and drink every day.

Such a peaceful life was what he had longed for before, but it also made him feel uneasy.

If only he could do something for the General's Mansion and Gu Qingyuan.

Gu Qingyuan was surprised and asked him, "Why do you think so?"

As she spoke, she helped Lu Rui walk to the side and sat down. She felt a little distressed when she saw his self-destructive look.

Lu Rui looked at her and said, "Young Master, I will do anything you ask me to do. I have no way of repaying your kindness."

Gu Qingyuan smiled, "I don't need your reward, I just need you to stay by my side peacefully."

There are so many people working in the mansion, and Lu Rui is no shortage of one, so she wants Lu Rui to get better as soon as possible.

Lu Rui felt even more uneasy. He didn't dare look up at Gu Qingyuan's eyes. He just lowered his head to look at his broken leg and bit his lower lip lightly.

Gu Qingyuan brought the medicinal porridge over, handed it to Lu Rui, and said with a smile: "Look what I brought you."

A strong smell of medicine hit him in the face. Lu Rui opened the lid and found the medicinal porridge still steaming. There were many nourishing herbs added to the porridge. Although he didn't understand, he could guess that it was good for his legs and body.

"This... the young master is thoughtful."

There was a pavilion in the yard, and Gu Qingyuan and Lu Rui sat in the pavilion. The medicinal porridge was placed on the table in the pavilion, and the two sat on stone chairs.

"Try it quickly. I asked someone to make this specially for you." Gu Qingyuan said with some anticipation.

Lu Rui nodded and said, "Okay."

The porridge was still a little hot, so Lu Rui scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

At first, it tastes a bit bitter, after all, it is a medicinal porridge, but after it goes down the throat, it has a slight fragrance that makes people linger in the aftertaste.

After Lu Rui finished drinking spoonful by spoonful, he wiped his mouth and said to Gu Qingyuan, "Thank you, young master."

Gu Qingyuan waved her hand and said, "Why are you being so polite? By the way, do you feel anything in your legs now?"

As she asked, she reached out and squeezed his leg.

"Yes... yes."

For some reason, after drinking the medicinal porridge, Lu Rui felt a little hot. Maybe the porridge was too hot, so he felt hot right after drinking it.

"That's good."

Gu Qingyuan withdrew her hand. She had hired the best doctor to treat him and took medicine every day to nourish his body. It would be unacceptable if he behaved like before.

Lu Rui felt his mouth was a little dry, but with Gu Qingyuan here, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, let alone dragging his leg to pour himself some water.

It seemed that, in front of her, even as a slave, he felt ashamed.

"You don't have to feel guilty. Since I brought you back, just stay at the Gu family with peace of mind."

Lu Rui responded and lifted his clothes as if to cover something.

Gu Qingyuan didn't notice his abnormality and continued to talk to herself: "You should be used to living here, right?"

Lu Rui nodded again and replied, "I'm used to it."

Gu Qingyuan didn't notice his abnormality, her eyes were completely attracted by the orchids in the yard.

The orchids were in full bloom at this time. There was an orchid tree in front of where they were sitting. Petals were scattered all over the ground. A gentle breeze blew, and a few more petals swirled down from the branches.

Lu Rui felt that his body seemed to be getting hotter. Gu Qingyuan sat next to him and slowly noticed something unusual.

I touched his forehead and found it was a little hot.

"what happened to you?"

Gu Qingyuan exclaimed, watching his face slowly turn red. Could there be something in this medicinal porridge that he is allergic to?

The moment Gu Qingyuan touched his forehead, Lu Rui felt cool and comfortable.

His eyes looked a little blurry, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Gu Qingyuan immediately stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to find a doctor for you, Guyu..."

Guyu was a servant serving Lu Rui. When he heard Gu Qingyuan calling him, he walked towards him.

Lu Rui said, "I, I'm not sick."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at his red face with some concern. After Gu Yu came over, he asked, "Young Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Without caring about anything else, Gu Qingyuan immediately asked Guyu to call a doctor.
