Soft and crispy waist

Xue Rui was brought into the west wing of Yinlin Courtyard.

When Xia Zheng and Lin Rongrong walked in, the court physician was already packing up his medicine box outside. Upon seeing them come in, he immediately took two steps back and reported, "Xia Surong, Xue Shenyi's wound has been sutured, and he's awake, but he's still weak. It's best not to move him for the next two days."

Xia Zheng nodded and asked Nanny Liang to send the court doctor out. She then took Lin Rongrong, lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room.

Hearing the noise, the person on the bed shuddered violently, clutching the quilt with both hands and looking over vigilantly.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Xia Zheng and Lin Rongrong, but then he seemed to remember something and hurriedly pulled back the quilt and tried to get up.

But she was too weak, and in her panic she lost her balance and fell off the bed.

The thin blanket fell apart, and her clothes, which had been half torn off, were almost completely pulled off by the movement, revealing a large area of ​​skin that was pale due to blood loss.

Because of his paleness, the deep and shallow bruises and various scars on his body were particularly clear and eye-catching.

"Why do you have so many injuries?" Lin Rongrong cried out in surprise.

She knew that other people often bullied Xue Rui, but she didn't expect that she would have so many injuries, and there was no good place except for the exposed ones.

"I'm weak, and if I get touched, I'll get bruises. It won't take a long time to heal, but it's okay." Shu Rui explained weakly while anxiously pulling up her clothes.

But she had no strength, the corner of her clothes was pressed down, and she pulled several times but couldn't pull it up.

He became more and more panicked, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, just exposing the wound on his head.

The hair around the wound was shaved off. Although it was wrapped with a bandage, the stitches inside could still be seen when moving, like the legs of a centipede, there were five or six of them.

Lin Rongrong felt uncomfortable watching this, so she walked over to pull up her clothes and advised, "Don't be afraid. Xia Surong has already punished Qiao Shenyuan and the others, and knows the truth. Just tell her, and Xia Surong will take care of it for you."

Xue Rui just lowered her head and insisted, "It was all my fault. Today, I accidentally hit my head on the corner of the flower bed. Xie Surong asked the palace doctor to help me. I am fine now. I will take my leave first."

Xue Rui was about to get up and leave when she said that, but before Lin Rongrong could reach out to stop her, her feet felt weak and she fell down again. Her features wrinkled in pain, but she gritted her teeth and didn't cry out.

"Prince, this way."

There were voices and footsteps outside.

When Xia Zheng turned her head, Gu Yizi's slender hand had already lifted the curtain. Seeing the scene inside, he glanced at Xia Zheng and then lowered the curtain.

"The court doctor said you can't move. Just stay here and rest for two days. I won't force you to stay after two days." Xia Zheng said, then turned and walked out.

When he walked back to the main house, Gu Yizi was already sitting upright on the Arhat couch, with a long brocade box at his side, on which the words "Bazhenfang" were embroidered with gold thread.

A food store?

I didn't smell any food.

But it was not easy to ask now, so Xia Zheng could only pour a cup of tea on the tea table and bring it to the small table. "This is the fruit tea I brewed this morning, and I added osmanthus flowers that I dried last year. Your Highness, please try it and moisten your mouth first."

Gu Yizi picked up the teacup, took a sip and asked, "What are you going to do about this?"

"They've all been slapped on the palms as punishment."

"No further investigation?"

Xia Zheng shook her head. "Xue Shenyi said he fell down by himself. What else can I do to pursue the matter?"

There must be a reason to hold someone accountable. If the reason is used to excuse the attacker, the pursuit will be untenable.

Besides, this mansion is not a government office where things are either black or white, not to mention that the newcomer is the bridge between Gu Yizi and his family, and all they can do is maintain a balance.

"This isn't written in the recipe, but you're able to draw inferences." Gu Yizi held up the teacup, covering most of his face, his tone flat, with no emotion to be heard.

Xia Zheng was shocked and unsure of what Gu Yizi was thinking.

Do you like her intelligence or do you doubt her intelligence?

But although she learned the art of housekeeping from watching and listening beside the wife of Marquis Anyang most of the time when she was wandering, and could be considered to be from the same school as Tao Yurong, she was able to guess every step of Tao Yurong's arrangements last time, and could also truly understand the household management methods in the recipes.

But today's matter had already been mentioned before. She knew Gu Yizi's intention of accepting these eight people, so it was normal to have such a balance.

Why do you say so?

Could it be that he still hasn’t recovered from the anger he got from last time?

But Xia Zheng still hasn't figured out why he was so angry last time. She was clearly being humble and should have dispelled her doubts and done what she wanted.

After racking her brains and failing to come up with a clear answer, Xia Zheng could only cautiously say, "There's nothing I can do about it."

Gu Yizi put down the teacup and stared at Xia Zheng with his sharp eyes, which made her feel uneasy.

Everything about her fell into Gu Yizi's eyes, making him very annoyed.

His tone was just a little lighter, but she immediately became trembling with fear. Even though she pretended to be calm, her body suddenly tensed up and her hands that unconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes and then let go revealed her nervousness.

It was as if he were a jackal, tiger or leopard, and he could bite her neck off with one bite.

"Are you so afraid..."

"Wow wow wow~"

Before Gu Yizi could finish his words, the crying sound that echoed through the roof exploded from the side room.

Shuang Jianghuan ran over in a panic and glanced at Gu Yizi's face, which was full of confusion. However, after hearing the deafening crying, she could only bite the bullet and said, "Su Rong, the young lady has woken up and is making a fuss and refusing to drink milk."

Ruanruan is now very good at recognizing people. She cried when Shuangjiang carried her back. Now that she woke up and didn't see Xia Zheng, she must be even more angry. If she doesn't go, she will probably cry soon.

But Xia Zheng didn't dare to leave directly, so she could only look at Gu Yizi and explain: "Ruanruan has accepted me as her concubine now, and the wet nurse can't coax her."

Seeing that she was clearly anxious yet still wanted to ask him, Gu Yizi became even more frustrated. He picked up the brocade box and said solemnly, "Go and comfort her. You still have official business to attend to at the military camp. You should handle the affairs of the mansion according to the rules."

After saying that, Gu Yizi walked out the door in a few steps.

After seeing the person walk away, Shuangjiang uneasily walked over to Xia Zheng and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the prince? Are you unhappy?"

Xia Zheng didn't understand either. She didn't even hear what Gu Yizi said just now. It was all drowned out by the soft crying.

But judging from Gu Yizi's behavior, he must be dissatisfied with something, otherwise he would have taken a look at her even if she was crying no matter how anxious he was to leave.

What on earth had offended him?

The Yang family has not yet established itself, and she is a new manager. Tao Yurong is keeping track of those accounts and waiting for an opportunity. If Gu Yizi loses interest in her at this time, her current situation will be more troublesome than before.

She had to find out the reason, but now, she had to comfort Ruanruan first.

As the two of them walked away, they did not notice that there was a pair of eyes watching them from the west wing.
