My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Only Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang returned; there were no other servants, and the servants in the mansion did not know Ji Yunshuang's identity.

The two servants were amazed by her appearance and curious about her identity, so they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Wei Chengfeng was a strict ruler, and the servants in his household were not supposed to gossip about their masters. However, everyone has a gossipy nature.

The two servants believed that since they hadn't talked about it outside, and it was just a private discussion between the two of them, it wasn't a big deal.

As long as no one knows that the two of them are discussing their master in private, they won't be punished for this.

However, what the two did not expect was that their private discussion was overheard by Kang Ruxue, who was determined to disturb the news.

The two servants couldn't be sure of the woman riding with Lu Yinheng, but Kang Ruxue immediately thought of Ji Yunshuang.

That legendary immortal.

She wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into Lu Yinheng's courtyard, but before she could find a chance to go there, Zhu Qi returned.

"Ru Xue, I've had someone find you a new place to stay. I'll take you there to settle in," Zhu Qi said. "Although that courtyard isn't as spacious as this one, you'll feel more comfortable there."

I know it's unfair to make you live in such a small courtyard, but don't worry, it's only temporary.

Conditions at Zhenxiguan are truly harsh, unlike those in Shengjing. I will definitely find you a more comfortable place to live as soon as possible.”

Kang Ruxue was unwilling.

She had just heard the latest news about Lu Yinheng, and she was unwilling to leave now.

However, in order not to arouse Zhu Qi's suspicion, she said, "My lord, there is no need to say such things. With my current status, how could I possibly be picky? To be able to survive and have a place to stay is already a great kindness from you."

The woman Zhu Qi had always known was proud and aloof. Seeing his former beloved now reduced to such a humble state filled him with bitterness.

“You don’t need to say that,” Zhu Qi said. “It’s just…the world is unpredictable…”

Even he hadn't expected that the State of Qi would fall so quickly. It took him countless hours and effort to accept all of this, let alone her.

He wanted to comfort her, but felt that anything he said would be superfluous.

At this moment, Kang Ruxue followed his words and said, "Yes! Things are unpredictable. Who could have imagined that such a powerful Qi Kingdom would change hands overnight?"

She said sincerely, "Sir, I know this is not your fault, please believe me. I have never blamed you. Everything I said was from the heart."

As she spoke, she grabbed Zhu Qi's hand, seemingly very anxious, as if she wanted Zhu Qi to go on a blind date with her.

Before Zhu Qi could answer, her body went limp and she fainted in his arms.

Zhu Qi's original plan to take her outside to settle down immediately was temporarily delayed because of her fainting.

He instructed his servants to fetch a doctor to treat Kang Ruxue.

According to the doctor's diagnosis, Kang Ruxue's body was severely depleted and she was under a lot of stress, so she needed to rest.

Zhu Qi looked at Kang Ruxue, whose eyes were tightly closed, and asked with some concern, "Doctor, why hasn't she woken up yet? How can we wake her up?"

The doctor stroked his mustache and said, "She's asleep now, it's alright, just let her get some rest."

"She's asleep?" Zhu Qi was surprised and asked, not expecting this.

He didn't know that Kang Ruxue was indeed faking fainting at first, but later she actually fell asleep.

After being locked up in prison for so many days, suffering from poor food and sleep, and facing the possibility of death at any moment, he was truly devastated.

She hadn't had a good night's sleep for days.

After being rescued by Zhu Qi, she remained on edge, her nerves constantly on edge. Later, while pretending to faint, she eventually fell asleep.

The doctor said, "She is weak, it will be good for her to sleep more."

Zhu Qi listened to the doctor and did not wake Kang Ruxue.

He had many things to attend to and didn't have time to stay and watch over Kang Ruxue. After instructing a few servants to watch over her, he went about his business.

Kang Ruxue did indeed fall asleep just now.

But how can one sleep soundly when one has something weighing on their mind?

Therefore, she woke up shortly after Zhu Qi left.

After waking up, she began to ponder what to do next.

She managed to stay by pretending to faint today, but she can't pretend to faint again tomorrow.

Pretending to be unconscious is not a long-term solution.

Furthermore, she didn't know who the woman next to Lu Yinheng was...

Kang Ruxue pursed her lips and thought for a long time before finally coming up with a solution.

She sat up in bed.

Zhu Qi ordered a maid to watch over her, and several maids came over to serve her as soon as they saw that she had woken up.

"Where is the master?" Kang Ruxue asked in a low voice.

"The master has other matters to attend to, so please rest here." After answering, the maid asked, "Won't you sleep a little longer, Miss?"

Kang Ruxue clutched her chest, blushing, and said, "I'm a little hungry..."

Remembering Zhu Qi's arrangements before leaving, the maid said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I will arrange for someone to bring you food."

"Has the master eaten?" Kang Ruxue asked, feigning concern for Zhu Qi.

The maid said, "I am not a maid who serves you personally, so I am not familiar with your daily life."

Kang Ruxue looked embarrassed and said that she didn't need to be served and that she could get dressed and get up by herself.

The maid did not insist and turned around to call someone to go to the main kitchen to get her food.

Kang Ruxue wanted to find an opportunity to go to the courtyard where Lu Yinheng lived, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Inside the space, Ji Yunshuang woke up after a nap to a rich fragrance.

Lu Yinheng prepared a table full of food and placed it on the table.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang, he was a little nervous. "I tried to make a little bit, thinking that you might want to eat it when you wake up. I don't know if it will suit your taste."

Ji Yunshuang looked at the food on the table and gave him a thumbs up. "No wonder Zhuzhu can cook at such a young age. It's hereditary! This food looks delicious."

Lu Yinheng was overjoyed by her praise, and couldn't suppress his smile. "If you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future."
