The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"Fu Chunfeng greets the Grand Tutor!"

Ruan Linyuan glanced at Fu Chunfeng and nodded slightly:

"Doctor Fu, please check on my old friend to see if he is alright.

But why did Doctor Fu bring one more person with him today?"

Fu Chunfeng smiled faintly and gave the reason he had prepared long ago:

"Replying to the Grand Tutor, I accidentally injured my left hand a few days ago. I am afraid that treating someone will delay my work, so I have found an assistant.

If the Grand Tutor minds, I will ask her to wait outside the palace."

Qiao Xi just glanced at Xu Yi briefly. Afraid that Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan might notice something, she withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and pretended to be timid and obedient.

Hearing Fu Chunfeng's words, Ruan Linyuan looked at Qiao Qian again.

She looked like an ordinary woman. Besides, there were so many guards and servants in his Grand Tutor's Mansion, and they were not pushovers. How could they be afraid of a weak woman like her?

So he waved his hand and said:

"Well, let her follow."

After saying that, Ruan Linyuan turned to look at the young man beside him:

"Xu Xiaodi, I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will be absent for a while."

Xu Yi bowed and saluted:

"What are you talking about, Grand Tutor? I am so lucky to be appreciated by you.

Now I have such attention from the Grand Tutor, which is really a blessing upon blessing.

Xu was also worried that this blessing was too much for him to handle.

Grand Master, please go and do whatever you need."

Although Qiao Xi kept her head down, she listened to every word they said.

If she was not sure that the man was Xu Yi at this moment, she would have suspected that the person in front of her was not Xu Yi at all, but just looked exactly like Xu Yi.

Ruan Linyuan was very pleased with Xu Yi's words. He smiled and nodded, then left.

However, he did not feel at ease leaving Xu Yi alone, but asked the housekeeper to come and look after him.

Qiao Xi thought she would never have a chance to talk to Xu Yi, but Xu Yi sent the housekeeper away on the pretext of wanting to eat some pastries.

Qiao Xi: "Doctor Fu, can we have a few words? Just a few words. Don't worry, you won't be in danger."

Fu Chunfeng was surprised and asked, "You two know each other?

In that case, I'll go and help you guard the door. The housekeeper should be back soon, so you two should hurry."

Having said that, he got up without delay and went out, and was very considerate to close the door for them both.

Qiao Xi had just looked Xu Yi up and down, and didn't see any external injuries.

Thinking that his injury was under his clothes, he started to undress Xu Yi without saying a word.

Xu Yi was about to speak when he was frightened by Qiao Xi's behavior:

"You, you, what are you doing?"

"Where are you hurt?"

"I'm not hurt." Xu Yi held Qiao Xi's hand, and then used this action to hold her hand tightly.

He noticed that her hands seemed more bony than before.

"Why have you lost weight? Also, now that we're alone, you can take off your veil. Let me see if you've really lost weight."

After saying that, Xu Yi took off Qiao Xi's veil without waiting for her consent.

But as soon as I saw her face, I was stunned.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes darkened, his lips were slightly pursed, worry and displeasure appeared on his face at the same time.

"What happened? Who hurt you?"

Josie took his hand that was caressing her cheek:

"Don't worry about this for now. Time is limited. Tell me quickly, why are you in the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Also, if you are here, where is Han Yun'an?"

Hearing her question, Xu Yi pinched his brows, his eyes suddenly looked a little empty, as if he was lost in memories:

“After the examination, Han Yun’an and I wanted to go back quickly, but we didn’t expect anything to go wrong.

Many candidates, including the two of us, were suddenly taken to the Dali Temple and locked up.

We questioned the officers, but no one could tell us what had happened.

Within two days, someone brought me here. After meeting the Grand Tutor, I finally had some clues.

However, I'm not sure yet. I need to stay in the Grand Tutor's Mansion for a while to be sure.

You don't have to worry about Han Yun'an. He will be detained for two more days at most and will be released soon."

Qiao Xi: "The Grand Tutor has asked a doctor for you. Are you feeling unwell?"

When he will return is secondary. The key is what's wrong with his body?

"It's nothing serious. I asked the doctor because I didn't want you to worry.

I came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion alone and have no way to pass on the message to you. I'm afraid you will worry, so I can only use this most stupid method.

It seems that those brothers you recognized are still somewhat useful."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi's eyes twitched a few times, and she thought to herself:

If her fellow brothers heard this, they wouldn't know whether they would be sad or happy.

"When can you leave the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't know yet. I can only tell you one thing - only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

It's almost time, please let Doctor Fu in.

Also, who hurt your face?"

Qiao Xi didn't want him to know the truth and feel burdened, so she threw down the word "herself" and hurried to open the door to let Fu Chunfeng in, not giving Xu Yi the chance to continue the previous topic.

……

"Doctor Fu, how is my friend doing?"

Xu Yi and the housekeeper of the Grand Tutor's Mansion were just about to send Fu Chunfeng and Qiao Qian away when they suddenly saw Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan coming in from outside the courtyard.

The first thing he said when he saw them was to express his concern for Xu Yi's health.

Qiao Qian was very surprised: In just a few days, the Grand Tutor valued Xu Yi so much?

Or does he have another purpose?

As for which one it is, I'm afraid only Ruan Linyuan himself knows.

But the fox will eventually show its tail.

Fu Chunfeng and Qiao Xi bowed to Ruan Linyuan, then said:

"Replying to the Grand Tutor, this young master's health has improved a lot compared to a few days ago. However, since his foundation is not very good, we can't rush it and he still needs to recuperate slowly."

"Oh! In that case, I'll have to trouble Doctor Fu to make a few more trips.

However, the Grand Tutor's Mansion will not let Doctor Fu's hard work be in vain."

After saying that, Ruan Linyuan gave the butler beside him a look.

The butler understood and immediately stepped forward and bowed to ask for permission:

"Please, Doctor Fu, come with me."

While keeping an eye on Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan's movements, Xu Yi watched Qiao Xi leave with his eyes.

"Little Brother Xu, have you felt bored after living in this Grand Tutor's Mansion for the past few days?"

Xu Yi was in a dangerous situation, so he had to think carefully about every word Ruan Linyuan said before answering.

Does Ruan Linyuan's words mean that he is going to take some action?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi smiled and did not give a direct answer:

"There are many precious books in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, how could I be bored? However, I have read a lot of books in the past two days, and it will take some time to digest them and continue reading."

"Haha, yes, you can't read this book all the time, otherwise you will become stupid."

Ruan Linyuan was very satisfied with Xu Yi's answer. He flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said meaningfully,

"Little Brother Xu, you don't know this. There's someone above me who, having heard of your great talent, has long begged me to meet you."
