It was about half an hour later when Ning Jin kicked open the gate while holding Xie Yu, whose face was red from the cold.

Along with the sound of the courtyard gate falling to the ground, Ning Jin's angry cry of "Li Shu" almost echoed throughout the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

At that time, Nanny Gui had just handed a bowl of steaming abortion medicine to Li Shu. She was startled by the sound and subconsciously frowned, but at the same time she was secretly relieved.

This medicine only makes up half a bowl.

If the young lady hadn't picked up the medicine quickly, she would have dropped the bowl of medicine in fright and would have had to boil it again!

Not only is it time-consuming and stressful, it also delays the lady's bedtime!

Then she looked at Li Shu's reaction with concern.

Seeing that Li Shu was staring at the medicine in the bowl without any emotion, she had just suppressed her worry and called out "Miss" when Ning Jin came into the room holding Xie Yu.

"Li Shu! Yu'er dragged her sick body to come to you to explain her angry words, why did you turn her away? You knew she couldn't stand it after just having a near-death experience..."

Li Shu raised her eyes and looked at Ning Jin.

The moment their eyes met, the disgust and impatience in her eyes made Ning Jin subconsciously stop talking.

No matter how angry Shushu had been in the past, she had never looked at him with such eyes...

Then Xie Yu spoke, "Brother Ning, it's because you speak to my sister-in-law in this manner when you're angry that my sister-in-law misunderstood me and wanted to distance herself from me. You can't... ahem..."

Her voice was soft and weak.

But that kind of complaining tone with a coquettish tone was once exclusive to Li Shu in front of Ning Jin.

But Li Shu could no longer remember the last time she acted coquettishly and complained to Ning Jin.

It seemed that soon after Xie Yu appeared, Ning Jin lost his previous patience with her, and she could no longer do whatever she wanted in front of him.

Li Shu calmed herself down, glanced at Xie Yu and then looked at Ning Jin. There was no trace of anger on his face, only worry and anxiety. The tone of his voice when he spoke was completely different from before.

"I was wrong, Yu'er, don't get excited. You're so weak right now. If your emotions fluctuate too much..."

"..."

Li Shu stared at him without blinking, her heart gradually turning cold.

Then she drank the bowl of abortion medicine without hesitation.

It was ridiculous that when she just took the medicine from Aunt Gui, she still felt a little reluctant and hesitant.

Fortunately, she is no longer the same person as yesterday!

Without those two children and away from Ning Jin, she shouldn't fall into the miserable situation she was in the dream, right?

When she handed the empty medicine bowl to Aunt Gui, she saw Aunt Gui secretly wiping away tears. Her heart warmed, and she spoke unconsciously with a bit of coquettishness, "Aunt, this medicine is so bitter."

"Yes, I was negligent! I'll go get some candied fruit for Madam!"

"It's time for you, grandma."

"..."

Aunt Gui pursed her lips tightly and managed to hold back her tears.

Then he hurried out with red eyes.

When she returned with a plate of preserved fruit, Ning Jin frowned and looked at Li Shu, "What medicine did you take? You're in such good health, how could you catch a cold after falling into the water? Or are you trying to feign illness to make me feel bad, and then cover up what you've done these past two days? I'm telling you, that's impossible! You must apologize to Yu'er, otherwise..."

Li Shu took the smallest candied fruit from the plate and put it in her mouth.

Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to Ning Jin.

I want Ning Jin to yell and curse as much as he wants.

Then she could take advantage of the situation.

But she really couldn't bear to listen any longer, and she raised her hand and overturned the white porcelain bottle on the small table next to the couch.

The workmanship of the white porcelain bottle was not very good, but it was once Li Shu's favorite.

Because it was done by Ning Jin himself.

After he finished it, he immediately brought it to her as if it were a treasure.

Before she went out yesterday, she personally trimmed a few branches of red plum blossoms and inserted them into the bushes.

After finishing it, I placed it in the most conspicuous place, wanting him to see it when he came back.

As a result, he came in twice today to accuse and force her, and he didn't notice it at all.

And she no longer wanted him to see it.

The crisp sound of the porcelain bottle breaking not only made Ning Jin shut up, but also changed his expression again.

Before he could react, Li Shu spoke up, "What else are you going to do? Kill me for her?"

"I just want you to apologize to her!"

"Why? It's not like I asked her to wait outside."

"Because she's my savior! Because she just happened because of you..."

"What does your savior have to do with me?"

"..."

Ning Jin wanted to say, "She is not only my savior, but also someone your father and brother value very much." But the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say them out loud.

Because Li Shu asked in an extremely indifferent tone, "What does your savior have to do with me?", he felt a little uneasy for no reason.

Is she trying to draw a line between herself and him?

why?

Could it be that she really wanted to divorce him?

Do not!

impossible!

But there was something wrong with her today...

In the past, when they argued about Yu'er, she was either crying or making endless excuses. She had never been as calm as she was at this moment...

Then Xie Yu looked at Li Shu with red eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop arguing with Brother Ning. This is all my fault, but I didn't mean to make Brother Ning misunderstand you and then quarrel with you. I just want to explain to you that there is nothing between Brother Ning and me. We..."

"Innocent?" Li Shu raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically, "Do you want me to help you count how many times he hugged you in front of me today?"

"I……"

Xie Yu's face turned pale, and she struggled and said, "Brother Ning, please let me go."

Ning Jin had a sullen face and didn't move at all.

Because Xie Yu's voice was crying even more, he looked at Li Shu with a reproachful look and said, "I don't know how many times I've told you that I'm only here because Yu'er is not feeling well..."

"Since I've said it many times, don't say it again. I'm tired of it."

"Li Shu!"

"Keep your voice down. I'm not deaf, and walls have ears. Although the people in my courtyard are very strict about speaking, if someone with a big mouth in another courtyard passes by and hears what you're saying, and spreads it, it will be bad. After all, what kind of husband would be angry with his wife all day long because of outsiders?"

"Yu'er is not an outsider."

"So I'm an outsider? Or are you hinting that I should make her my wife? You should have said it earlier! Although the emperor originally said that you are not allowed to take a concubine, if I go and beg him, there is still a way..."

"That's not what I meant! Stop talking nonsense and confusing us!"

"Since you don't mean that, just take her and get out! I'm not someone you can bully. There's no reason for me to continue to be wronged and persecuted by you. If you get angry, I'll go to the palace and make a big deal out of this!"

"You! You are simply unreasonable!"

Ning Jin gritted his teeth as he said this and left angrily with Xie Yu in his arms.

Then Qinghong and Cuiwei ran in with red eyes.

Aunt Gui, who had been waiting beside Li Shu, lowered her voice and choked slightly as she said, "I told them not to come in when I left earlier."

Li Shu nodded.

Then I heard Aunt Gui ask in a low voice, "Is the young lady feeling unwell?"

Li Shu shook her head again.

"But the lady's complexion looks a little worse than before."

"Yeah……"

Li Shu murmured and touched her cheek.

Apart from feeling frighteningly cold, he didn't feel anything.

Qinghong Cuiwei was looking back and forth between her and Aunt Gui.

Because even though Aunt Gui lowered her voice as much as possible, they could still faintly hear the word "Miss".

Most of the people in their bamboo garden were brought as dowry.

But they changed their names after they entered the palace.

Why did Mammy suddenly change back to her old name?

However, no matter how much they cared, they dared not ask.

After an unknown amount of time, they suddenly heard Li Shu ask, "Did Ning Jin break the gate?"

"Yes, yes..." Cuiwei stammered, "Perhaps the gate to the courtyard has fallen into disrepair. The prince kicked both doors down with one kick. But don't worry, madam. I have already asked someone to find someone to repair it..."

"No need to fix it, just leave it like that for now."

"what?"

Cuiwei blinked, her face full of confusion.
