This exclamation was like thunder, breaking the lingering atmosphere between the two.

Shen Qionghua suddenly opened her eyes and almost jumped away from the bed.

This time, Xie Nanyuan did not cling to Shen Qionghua. A satisfied smile hung on his pale face, and the lip balm at the corners of his lips showed what had just happened.

But this man was very shameless and didn't know how to cover it up. He clearly noticed that there was lip balm on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't wipe it off. Instead, he treated it as a medal and glanced at Luo Xiyao proudly.

Shen Qionghua was caught on the spot and felt both ashamed and annoyed.

She was ashamed that the two of them were seen being so intimate, and she was annoyed that Xie Nanyuan was shameless. He didn't care about the occasion and dragged her to do this kind of thing right after she woke up from the fever. They happened to be caught by someone. It was so embarrassing.

Her cheeks were flushed and she was a little panicked. She met Luo Xiyao's shocked and astonished eyes and wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how.

In the end, he could only force out an awkward smile, and said in a weak voice: "Hehe, Xiyao, you're awake. Are you hungry? How about I ask them to bring breakfast?"

Although Luo Xiyao's eyes were looking at Shen Qionghua, her mind was still immersed in the scene she had just witnessed. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning and was unable to recover.

These two actually...actually...

There is no need to think about it, it must be my cousin who is shameless. Qionghua is such a well-behaved person, and she would definitely not do such a thing if she knew she was still here.

Xie Nanyuan is really... Why didn't he burn him to death last night!

A group of them guarded him all night, but the first thing he did when he woke up was to bully Qionghua.

Obviously knowing that he was injured, Qionghua did not dare to push him away.

Luo Xiyao secretly gritted her teeth, staring at Xie Nanyuan, and said angrily: "Some people are really shameless. They do such things in broad daylight. It's really a violation of morals and morality. They are not afraid of being caught!"

It goes without saying who this is directed at.

Xie Nanyuan's face darkened upon hearing this. He glanced coldly at Luo Xiyao, who had become increasingly bold recently, and said in a cold voice, "Since you know that this kind of thing shouldn't be watched by others, why are you still standing here, getting in the way? You don't know how to avoid it, and you don't understand the slightest bit. Humph!"

The last "humph" expressed Xie Nanyuan's disdain and contempt.

Not to mention Luo Xiyao's reaction, even Shen Qionghua was shocked by Xie Nanyuan's words, her mouth slightly open, and she was extremely stunned.

As expected, as long as a person is shameless, he can turn black into white and always be right in everything.

Luo Xiyao was so furious that she almost exploded. How could there be such a person in the world who could confuse right and wrong?

It was clearly his own shamelessness that caused such a thing, yet he still blamed her for not avoiding it!

And what did he mean by that cold snort? What did he mean? He even showed contempt!

"Xie Nanyuan, I'm going to fight you!" Luo Xiyao rolled up her sleeves and was about to pounce on Xie Nanyuan. Shen Qionghua was so scared that she quickly hugged her waist to stop her.

After all, Luo Xiyao is angry now, and Xie Nanyuan was seriously injured and had just been rescued from the underworld, unable to move. If something bad happens in an impulsive manner, it will be disastrous.

"Qionghua, let me go! I must seek justice today!" Luo Xiyao struggled desperately, and Shen Qionghua almost couldn't hold her, and there was someone next to her who added fuel to the fire.

Xie Nanyuan glanced at her sideways and said disdainfully, "Just you? Ha!"

"Ahhh! Xie Nanyuan!" Luo Xiyao was so angry that she jumped up and down, and Shen Qionghua was also tired seeing this.

How come this man, lying on the bed seriously injured, couldn't stop the mouth of that poisonous snake?

Wouldn’t it be better to take good care of your health?

At this moment, Shaoyao came into the room carrying a lunch box. Shen Qionghua hurriedly said, "Xiyao, let's ignore him. I'll have breakfast with you. Let's go."

As he spoke, he pulled Luo Xiyao out of the inner room.

Xie Nanyuan's aggrieved voice came from behind him, "Qionghua, I haven't eaten yet either."

Shen Qionghua turned her head and saw Xie Nanyuan's pale face, with a pair of black eyes looking at her brightly.

This means he wants her to feed him.

Before Shen Qionghua could say anything, he felt his palms were empty.

When he looked up, he saw Luo Xiyao walking towards the dining table angrily, her steps so fast that sparks were almost flying. She picked up the empty bowl on the table, quickly filled it with millet porridge, then turned back and went straight to Xie Nanyuan.

He smashed the bowl onto the small table with a loud bang, causing the porridge in the bowl and the table to shake. He said coldly, "What are you eating? You only deserve this! Eat it yourself!"

Then he hurried out of the inner room to have his meal.

Shen Qionghua: “…”

Xie Nanyuan: "..." His face twisted for a moment.

This girl, just wait and see how he deals with her!

Xie Nanyuan looked at Shen Qionghua and said pitifully, "Qionghua, I'm in pain. I can't use my hands."

Looking weak.

The corners of Shen Qionghua's mouth twitched. Wasn't he very strong when he pulled her and kissed her just now?

Shen Qionghua was furious when she thought of the awkward scene just now, but her face was gentle as she said, "Don't worry, you're so badly injured, how could I bear to let you eat by yourself?"

Xie Nanyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but before he could express his joy, he saw Shen Qionghua ordering Shaoyao to the side, "Go find Linze and tell him that the prince has woken up and wants him to serve the meal."

Then he left the inner room without looking back and went to have dinner with Luo Xiyao.

Xie Nanyuan: "..."

He might as well have kept burning!

Lin Ze arrived quickly, his face filled with shock and joy. "Your Highness, you are finally awake. I was so worried about you!"

Lin Ze bowed and looked up, only to meet Xie Nanyuan's gloomy face and sinister black eyes.

Lin Ze: "..." His heart skipped a beat and he felt like crying but had no tears.

Who has he offended again?

……

For the next few days, Xie Nanyuan stayed at the Shen family to recuperate. He stuck to Shen Qionghua all day long and would ask about her if she left for a quarter of an hour.

Xie Nanyuan was very satisfied with this kind of life. The only flaw was the existence of Luo Xiyao, who always stood between him and Shen Qionghua and was very annoying.

The Duke of Zhenguo came to the Shen family to see Xie Nanyuan after the court session for the first two days. Seeing that Xie Nanyuan had recovered well, he felt relieved and left Luo Xiyao at the Shen family to take care of him. He did not come again afterwards.

After all, the Shen family had either widowed mothers who remained chaste or unmarried girls. The only male was barely ten years old, and there was no adult man in charge. He was a stranger, and unlike Xie Nanyuan, he was not engaged to Shen Qionghua, and he had a legitimate reason to recuperate in the Shen family.

At first, it seemed reasonable for Xie Nanyuan to do so. After Xie Nanyuan woke up, he often went in and out of the Shen family, and people were afraid that it would affect the reputation of the Shen family's mother and daughter.

As for why Luo Xiyao was left behind... after all, they were not married yet, and we couldn't just leave everything to the Shen family. Luo Xiyao happened to have a good relationship with Shen Qionghua, so she was a good candidate.

Most importantly, with Luo Xiyao staying at the Shen family, there would be no gossip about Xie Nanyuan and Shen Qionghua spreading outside.

The Duke of Zhenguo was relieved to leave Luo Xiyao in the Shen family.

After hearing that Xie Nanyuan had woken up, Lin Wanru and Shen Yi found a suitable time to visit Xie Nanyuan.

Xie Nanyuan happened to be lying on the couch with nothing to do, and his mouth was not injured anyway. In order to win over his brother-in-law, he watched Shen Yi practice boxing and gave some pointers, which made Shen Yi very happy.

Before Shen Qionghua even got married, Shen Yi kept calling him brother-in-law, which made Xie Nanyuan feel relaxed and at ease. The look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Yi was filled with love.

One of them was willing to fight the other willing to be beaten, and Shen Qionghua couldn't stop them, which made her feel tired.

On the day Xie Nanyuan just woke up, the palace received the news, and Li Shunquan also left the palace to visit Xie Nanyuan on the emperor's orders.

With a pair of red and swollen eyes, he told Xie Nanyuan about the emperor's concern for him and expressed the emperor's apology to him.

Afraid that Xie Nanyuan would misunderstand, he also explained the reason - not all the assassins had been captured, and for the sake of the emperor's safety and the Dai Viet nation, the emperor could not leave the palace.

It was emphasized that the emperor really wanted to leave the palace to visit, but was stopped and dissuaded by the ministers and palace servants, so he had no choice.

But the emperor will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give Xie Nanyuan an explanation.

After the assassins were caught, the emperor would go out of the palace to visit him, or he would wait until Xie Nanyuan's injuries were better and then transfer him to the palace to recuperate.

Xie Nanyuan expressed his understanding.

Li Shunquan was very pleased, and then explained to Xie Nanyuan why it was not Pei Liangchuan who came to treat him. He said that the emperor had sent people to search for Pei Liangchuan, and if he was found, he would be sent over immediately.

This was somewhat beyond Xie Nanyuan's expectations.

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Pei Liangchuan should not leave the capital so easily.

But he had just woken up and didn't know the cause and effect of the matter, so he couldn't easily draw a conclusion. After sending Li Shunquan away, he asked Shen Qionghua.

Shen Qionghua then told the whole story from beginning to end, including how An Jin had not received any news and his own guesses.

After listening to this, Xie Nanyuan also felt that Pei Liangchuan might have had an accident, so he asked the annoying Lin Ze to take another group of people with Ji Bei to go out and look for him.

Well, kill two birds with one stone.
