Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

"If I really didn't worry about you, I wouldn't have covered for you." Thirteen raised his hand with some difficulty, poked Pei Suisui's arm, and said again.

"I want to drink water, Sui Sui."

Pei Suisui quickly realized that the tea beside her had gone cold, so she got up and went to the table to pour another cup for Shisan and brought it to her bedside.

Thirteen stared intently at the cup of tea that was offered to him, but did not take it.

He looked up at Pei Suisui's tear-streaked face and said

"Will you feed me?" Perhaps because he had switched back to his true form, Thirteen was even more adept at acting coquettishly towards Pei Suisui.

"you……"

Pei Suisui naturally realized that Thirteen was teasing her, and quickly pretended to be angry, poking her head.

"Only you dare to tease me! I'm here crying for you, and you're laughing at me so heartlessly!" Her feigned anger only made Thirteen chuckle.

"That's right, why keep crying? I'm injured, not dead."

Thirteen raised an eyebrow at her, then took the teacup from Pei Suisui's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

She was already incredibly thirsty before Pei Suisui came into the house, but Pei Suisui started crying as soon as she saw her, so she was busy comforting her and didn't have time to drink any water.

It's unclear what Haojing added to her medicine, but ever since she started taking it, she's often felt thirsty.

After she finished her tea, she subconsciously licked her lips, and Pei Suisui quickly poured her another cup.

"Then...do you still feel pain?" Pei Suisui handed the tea to Thirteen and pointed to the wound on her leg in the air.

She had previously been pushed off a cliff by the Fourth Princess's guards on her orders and was injured. She lay in bed for a long time, not fully conscious, but the lingering pain from her wounds remained vivid in her memory.

"I'm fine, just some minor injuries, nothing serious..."

"Not comparing what?" Pei Suisui tilted her head, feeling that she couldn't quite understand what Thirteen was saying.

Thirteen quickly stopped talking, afraid that he might have let something slip.

Seeing that Pei Suisui was determined to get to the bottom of things, he had no choice but to explain.

"I mean, these are just superficial injuries, they'll heal with some rest."

Thirteen had no intention of deceiving Pei Suisui. The external injuries on her body were just scrapes caused by falling to the ground when she fought with Chongming, and they were nothing serious.

However, the fact that she has temporarily lost her divine power is what is giving her the biggest headache.

Because she could only maintain her male form by forcibly using her meager divine power in the mortal realm.

Right now, she can't think of a way to turn herself back.

Pei Suisui, however, didn't notice the strange expression on Thirteen's face. Instead, she stared at the dense bandages covering Thirteen's legs and suddenly became curious.

"Your injury... did Haojing bandage it for you?"

"..."

Thirteen did not answer Pei Suisui's question, but instead followed her gaze to her own legs.

The way the wounds on her legs were bandaged was extremely meticulous, and it shouldn't be Hao Jing's doing. She had seen Hao Jing bandage wounds before; he always wrapped other people's wounds up like dumplings.

Thinking of this, Thirteen frowned slightly, as if she really couldn't remember who had treated her wounds.

"If it wasn't him, then who else could Shen Mu know how to bandage wounds?" She naturally believed that Hao Jing had practiced several times before he could bandage her wounds.

If it wasn't him, then who could it be?

Seeing her solemn expression, Pei Suisui had a vague guess in her heart.

“I don’t think it’s him. Don’t forget that when you asked him to come to the Pei residence to treat my illness, he was the one who treated the several wounds on my body that needed to be treated again.”

Pei Suisui crossed her arms and shook her head with a look of disgust.

"His skills are really bad. I don't know how he could have worked for Lord Shen with such poor technique." She naturally didn't know that Hao Jing had other extraordinary abilities besides his mediocre medical skills.

"Then why don't you just ask him next time?" Thirteen didn't take the conversation between the two to heart.

What she wants most right now is to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Thank you, but I want to live a few more years." Pei Suisui couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Who is Shen Mu? He dares to defy even the Fourth Princess, let alone a mere second young lady from the Pei family.

If she hadn't used the wheelchair as a bargaining chip, she probably wouldn't have even seen Thirteen today!

Thinking of this, Pei Suisui's eyes suddenly lit up, and she became interested.

She slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully avoiding Thirteen's injured legs, and asked with a curious expression.

"Tell me, how did you meet Lord Shen?" She had promised Shen Mu that she wouldn't tell Thirteen about sending the wheelchair.

But she never made any promises, so she can't turn around and ask Thirteen!

Thirteen looked at Pei Suisui's gossipy expression and, even after thinking about it for a long time, still couldn't figure out why Pei Suisui would ask her that question.

"What do you mean?" She looked at Pei Suisui with a blank expression.

Pei Suisui thought that Thirteen was deliberately hiding it from her, and pretended to be angry.

"You're not treating me like a good sister anymore! I think you and Lord Shen are old acquaintances, not like you just met." Her words were loaded with meaning, naturally referring to the time when Shen Mu gave Thirteen a wheelchair.

Although this wheelchair could be made at any workshop in Nanyang.

However, she was fortunate enough to see the wheelchair, and the workmanship on it was extremely meticulous and sophisticated.

These don't seem like things that people from Nanyang could make.

"Huh? Weren't you there when I met him?" Thirteen was completely confused by Pei Suisui's words.

She frowned slightly as she looked at Pei Suisui, then suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, I did meet him before I met you."

"When?" Pei Suisui naturally didn't want to miss this gossipy moment, her face full of excitement.

"At the Third Prince's residence, someone poisoned the Third Prince back then. The Third Prince happened to catch the poisoner and had Shen Mu take him away." Thirteen rested his chin on one hand.

At that time, she had not yet become an adversary of the Third Prince.

Upon hearing the mention of the Third Prince by the Thirteenth Prince, Pei Suisui's smile vanished, and her expression gradually turned cold.

Thirteen immediately realized what was happening.

"I'm sorry about my mistake, Sui Sui." She shouldn't have mentioned that person's name in front of Pei Sui Sui again.

Pei Suisui's expression quickly returned to normal, and she smiled.

"I'm fine. I didn't want to marry him a long time ago."

She shook her head firmly at Thirteen, afraid that he would misunderstand her feelings.

After all, ever since her sister almost entered the palace for her sake, she had completely given up on the idea.

If she could exchange the Pei family and her sister for the chance to marry the man she loved, she would rather never get married in her life!
