Lu Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile where she couldn't see.

Could it be that she thinks she has other intentions?

Not to mention that Song Jinshu did have this idea. After all, Lu Ruoyu had no reason to save her at all costs.

It’s a pity that she was not beheaded in this life, so she couldn’t give him the official hat.

"You can take a rest these few days. Don't worry about the affairs of the county government. I will take care of it myself. As for you, just stay at home and recuperate. You can come back when you feel better."

Lu Ruoyu felt a little lost. She hummed lightly, then went to the kitchen alone and poured two bowls of the medicine that was being simmered.

"What is this?" Song Jinshu looked at Lu Ruoyu in confusion as she handed her one of the bowls of medicine.

"I added some herbs to replenish Qi and blood, which can better eliminate the symptoms."

Song Jinshu swallowed her saliva. The medicine smelled very bitter from a distance, even more bitter than the one Song Yunfu brought her.

"No... no need! I've already drunk it, you drink it yourself."

No matter whether it contains ginseng or wolfberry, she won't drink another sip of this medicine!

As if he could see through Song Jinshu's thoughts, Lu Ruoyu's lips curled up slightly. He suddenly said with a hint of sarcasm, "Good medicine tastes bitter. I've asked the doctor about this medicine, and it doesn't conflict with yours."

"If you want to recover soon, you can't miss it. The herbs in this prescription are worth a fortune, and ordinary people can't afford them."

Song Jinshu held his breath and shook his head firmly. His bad taste shouldn't be too obvious...

After seeing this, Lu Ruoyu did not force her and drank the whole bowl without changing her expression.

Song Jinshu gave him a thumbs up in admiration. Only he could remain calm when the smell was comparable to that of a toilet.

"I'm relieved that you're okay. My sister is worried about me, so I'll go back now."

Seeing with his own eyes that he was fine, Song Jinshu felt relieved and had no reason to stay here.

"I send you!"

"No need!" Song Jinshu refused subconsciously, then realized that he had spoken too quickly. Worried that he might misunderstand, he explained, "You're not well yet. I can go back by myself. It's not far!"

"Okay! You should stay at home and recuperate. I'll go back first!"

Song Jinshu said goodbye to Lu Ruoyu and walked out of the yard swiftly. He did not forget to close the door for him when he left.

Looking at her lively appearance, Lu Ruoyu's eyes flashed with surprise.

She is so healthy, isn't she?

In an inconspicuous corner, Shen Fenghua has been following Song Jinshu since he left the house.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I don’t know what to think.

If he had found her earlier that day and night, would she still be thinking of coming to see him today even though she was sick?

It’s not easy to think too much, if you miss it, you miss it.

Shen Fenghua turned and left, heading towards the city gate.

Inside the Liu family mansion.

Liu Jingmo dealt with Ding Yi's matter, hurried back, and went straight to the study when he got home.

In the study, Old Master Liu was asking Steward Liu, "Have you asked the doctor about Jinshu's health?"

Manager Liu looked a little helpless. The old man had asked this question countless times, and he had answered it countless times.

“Replying to the old man, Miss Song had a high fever when she came back last night, but she has always been in good health. The doctor gave her some medicine, and her fever subsided within an hour.

I just heard from the servants that they ran into Lady Song on the street. I think she is fine now!"

Speaking of this, Manager Liu also envied Song Jinshu, who was so sick that she was half-dead and almost had her brain burned out.

He recovered so well in just one night. Who wouldn’t be envious?

"Who's sick? Manager Liu, you were talking about Song Jinshu. Is she sick?"

As soon as Liu Jingmo stepped into the study, he heard the conversation between the two.

His return successfully attracted the attention of the two people in the study.

"Hey! Young Master, you're finally back! If Madam knew, she would definitely be very happy!"

Mrs. Liu has been looking for Liu Jingmo like crazy these days.

Liu Jingmo didn't respond to Manager Liu's words, but continued with the topic they had just discussed: "Grandpa, why did Song Jinshu get sick? How is she now?"

Old Master Liu raised his head and glanced at Liu Jingmo calmly: "What does her life have to do with you? It's you! You have brought shame to our Liu family!"

Liu Jingmo shrank his neck. He had kept the affairs of Dafang County secret, and no one in the Liu family should know about it.

So what Mr. Liu was talking about should be referring to the fact that he suddenly disappeared on the day they met.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt guilty towards Miss Song Er, whom he had never met. He was the one who had let her down.

"I've let her down for what happened with Grandpa. When I get back this time, I'll find a chance to apologize to her in person."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, you are quite responsible. Tell me! Where did you cause trouble again?"

He knew his grandson well. If it wasn't a serious matter, Liu Jingmo wouldn't leave without saying goodbye, and he wouldn't have been away for such a long time.

There was always some urgent matter behind this that forced him to leave.

At this point, Liu Jingmo did not continue to ask about Song Jinshu, but knelt in front of Old Man Liu and confessed everything about Dafang County and Ding Yi.

There was no sound in the study for a long time.

Mr. Liu's eyes changed from dark to bright, then bright to dark, constantly changing, but it always made people feel that it was not a good thing.

Liu Jingmo also noticed that Mr. Liu was abnormal, and looked up and asked, "Grandpa, do you know something?"

Mr. Liu was silent, then sighed and smiled bitterly: "After all, this matter has to come to our family."

What does this mean? Liu Jingmo stared at Mr. Liu, not missing any details.

Could it be that the person behind Ding Yi is extremely powerful?

And he is also related to his Liu family?

"Mo'er, listen to me, this matter is between you and me, don't tell anyone else!"

Puzzled, Liu Jingmo asked, "Grandpa, this incident almost cost our Liu family their lives. If you know the inside story, could you please tell your grandson?"

Seeing the atmosphere on the scene, Manager Liu had already left the study room in a sensible manner.

He also sent away the idle people outside the study, leaving the grandfather and grandson inside the study to talk.

"Ugh!"

Old Master Liu looked at Liu Jingmo, whose thirst for knowledge was overflowing, sighed a few times, and then said secretly: "We can only be careful about this matter. We can't afford to offend the person behind this."

"Do you know the once wealthy Liu family?"

Liu Jingmo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "Grandpa, are you talking about the wealthy Liu family, who were confiscated and exiled for smuggling salt?"

"Yes! It's his family. Coincidentally, Mr. Song from Jingyang County has some connection with the Liu family. The Liu family is Song Jinshu's maternal family!"

Liu Jingmo was even more surprised. This... this Liu family had no business dealings with their Liu family!

Why did grandpa suddenly mention the Liu family?

Old Master Liu looked at his grandson who was deep in thought and shook his head silently. The child lacked exercise after all, but fortunately he was cautious and careful.
