The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"Brother Ning! I'm so scared!"

"..."

Ning Jin's brows were knitted tightly together, his face full of heartache. He habitually patted Xie Yu's back and softly soothed her, "Don't be afraid. I've asked Ning Ji to call the imperial physician."

Xie Yu sobbed a few times in his arms. "Wow, the moment I collapsed, I thought I was really going to die. Although I had long since accepted that I wouldn't live to old age like a normal person, and had already prepared myself mentally for death, the moment I collapsed, I thought about never seeing Brother Ning again. Suddenly, I felt a fear I'd never felt before..."

At this point, Xie Yu hugged Ning Jin tightly with both hands and said softly, "Brother Ning, what should I do? I can't live without you."

"Then don't leave. You can stay in our mansion to recuperate, or you can treat our mansion as your home."

"No, Brother Ning, I want to be with you forever, and I've discovered that your position in my heart is different from that of Brother Li and the others. At least at that moment, I didn't think of them at all."

"..."

Ning Jin's heart sank slightly.

Forever?

What does "different" mean in Yuer's words?

Could it be that Yu'er really has feelings for him?

Shushu and Yu'er are both girls, and she understands girls' thoughts better than he does. Maybe she has already seen through Yu'er's feelings for him, so she treats Yu'er very well on the surface, but makes things difficult for her behind her back?

Thinking of this, Ning Jin felt even more guilty.

Yu'er is so simple.

It must be because he didn't know how to treat Yu'er well, which made Yu'er fall in love with him!

This is why Shushu was forced to do so many dirty things that she would never do before, and she eventually became disappointed in him!

even……

And they lost their children...

Thinking of Li Shu's miscarriage, Ning Jin felt even more heavy-hearted.

However, although he knew very well in his heart that he should push Yu'er away from his arms at this moment and tell Yu'er firmly that he would only love Shushu in this life and would never marry anyone else, he hesitated to do so.

He was afraid that Yu'er, who had just fainted, would be hurt by his words and cause irreparable consequences.

not to mention……

Yu'er might not even realize that she has developed feelings for him yet...

"Brother Ning..."

Xie Yu's voice interrupted Ning Jin's thoughts.

Ning Jin lowered his head to look at her.

Facing her red and tearful eyes, and the irresistible attachment in them, he felt even more conflicted and could no longer push her away.

He also had his first love.

If he had finally mustered up the courage to express his feelings to Shushu, and Shushu had pushed him away, he would have felt so sad.

But Yu'er has a heart disease, so her emotions cannot fluctuate too much.

Otherwise there will be danger to life.

But he never expected it!

Xie Yuhui would suddenly hug his neck and use the force to lean over and kiss him!

At that moment, he was so shocked that he forgot to push her away immediately.

But he immediately felt clearly that her lips were trembling.

It can be seen that she mustered up the courage to do this.

Then an old voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah! It seems we came at the wrong time..."

He quickly pushed Xie Yu away, adjusted his mood a little, and stood up to call back the two imperial doctors who had already left.

While the two of them took turns feeling Xie Yu's pulse, he had been thinking about how to make Xie Yu give up her thoughts on him.

But he still hadn't figured out what to say until the two men left after leaving the prescription.

After the two of them left, Xie Yu, tears in her eyes, grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ning. I didn't mean it. I just suddenly realized that I seemed to like you, Brother Ning, so I wanted to confirm it... and then I impulsively..."

Halfway through his words, Xie Yu glanced at Ning Jin cautiously and added, "But don't worry, Brother Ning, I will never do that kind of thing again! And I know very well how much you love my sister-in-law, and I know that you will never take a concubine! So I will never have any improper thoughts about you, Brother Ning. I will hide my feelings for you deep in my heart and never show them again! So... Brother Ning, can you please not chase me away and let me stay by your side?"

Ning Jin sighed secretly and said, "After my father-in-law officially accepts you as his goddaughter, you will live in his general's mansion. After that, he and his family will definitely choose a good husband for you."

"I don't want it! Who would really want to marry someone like me who faints all the time and is always on the verge of death due to an illness? Besides, I've told Brother Ning before that if I don't meet someone I really want to marry, I would rather live alone for the rest of my life! I don't want to share my husband with others, and I don't want to be someone else's concubine... Woohoo, I'm sorry, Brother Ning, I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. How could I have fallen in love with you? My sister-in-law is so good to me..."

As Xie Yu spoke, he covered his face and burst into tears, feeling extremely guilty.

For the first time ever, Ning Jin did not comfort her immediately.

Because he didn't know how to comfort her at all.

If it were anyone else, he would stay away from that person at this moment and never give that person a chance to get close to him.

But she is Yu'er!

What can he do?

What should I do?

Ning Jin watched Xie Yu crying with a troubled heart until she fell asleep sobbing from exhaustion. Over in Zhuyuan, when Li Shu woke up from a short nap, Qinghong immediately went forward to help her up.

Then he brought her a small bowl of chicken soup.

Then Cuiwei waited by the bed, looking at Li Shu with hesitation, wanting to say something.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of chicken soup, Li Shu looked at her and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Well... I heard that Xie Yu fainted just before reaching the gate of the mansion after leaving our Bamboo Garden. Then a guard came to inform the Crown Prince, and he immediately rushed over and carried her back to Tongxin Garden. I don't think she would leave the Marquisate as Concubine Qi requested..."

Before Cuiwei could finish, Li Shu laughed, "Just as I guessed."

Perhaps because she saw that she was not affected by the incident at all, Cuiwei spoke again without being cautious, and her voice was a little louder. "Also, after the prince brought Xie Yu back to Tongxin Garden, he immediately asked Ning Ji to call the imperial physician. Then, when the two imperial physicians came out of Tongxin Garden, they said with expressions as if they had seen something dirty that they hugged and kissed each other in broad daylight and must have committed adultery a long time ago..."

This time, Li Shu frowned slightly, and Cuiwei immediately stopped talking after seeing it.

But when she was secretly annoyed with herself for talking too much, she heard Li Shu ask: "Who heard that?"

"Ye Zhou, he came to our bamboo garden several times to prune trees before winter. Does the young lady still remember him?"

"..."

Li Shu thought for a moment and said, "I remember he got along very well with you back then?"

Cuiwei nodded. "He and I are from the same hometown. I felt his accent was familiar, so I chatted with him for a while. After that, I occasionally ran into him in the mansion, and he would tell me some interesting stories he heard in and outside the mansion, so we gradually became familiar with each other. And then he came to tell me earlier that he overheard the conversation between the two imperial doctors while pruning branches in the gardens around Tongxin Garden."

Li Shu lowered her eyelids and was silent for a moment. When she raised her eyes again, she said, "He is very thoughtful. Please give him a hundred taels of silver for me."
