After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Ye Zhuxi had never understood why Fu Jingyuan studied so hard every day, but now she realized that he wanted to participate in the imperial examination!

Knowing his purpose, I would obediently sit beside him and watch him study when I went to see him again. Sometimes I would take a pen and ink and draw his serious expression.

The backyard was very quiet, and the yard was full of various flowers, which were very beautiful and fragrant.

Just then, sunlight streamed in through the window, bathing Fu Jingyuan in its radiance. His long, flowing black hair obscured his cool, phoenix-shaped eyes, and his slender, white fingers occasionally turned the pages of his book, his expression both earnest and captivating.

Seeing him like this, Ye Zhuxi couldn't help but recall many things from her childhood.

Fu Jingyuan's school days were full of twists and turns. Because his second uncle was at home, she didn't dare to bully him in front of others and could only do so when they went to school.

It's common for cockroaches to be put in books or dead rats in bundles.

I remember that because of her, Fu Jingyuan was pushed into the lake. He had been quiet and reserved since childhood, and no children liked to play with him, let alone go down to save him.

While everyone was watching Fu Jingyuan struggling in the lake from the shore, she didn't know what came over her, but without thinking, she jumped in and rescued him.

She lived with her father in the border region when she was a child. There was a big river there, and she often went to play in the river with her friends when she had nothing to do. Naturally, she was a very good swimmer.

After rescuing Fu Jingyuan, she gave him a severe dressing-down.

"You can't even swim properly, you're useless!"

This is what she said to Fu Jingyuan back then!

When she got home, everyone saw that he was soaking wet. Her second uncle asked him worriedly what happened. At that time, she thought that Fu Jingyuan would definitely take advantage of her second uncle's presence and confess the evil deeds he had done to her, but he did not.

He glanced indifferently at himself, who was trying so hard to wink at him, then shook his head and said, "I accidentally fell into the lake..."

At the time, she thought he was too scared to speak because of her, but now she realizes that he simply didn't care about her back then!

"..."

As the recollection ended, Ye Zhuxi really wanted to spit on herself!

She glanced up at the serious-looking man, then slowly moved away.

Although Fu Jingyuan's gaze wasn't on her, he could sense her every move. Seeing her sneaking out, looking as if she was careful not to disturb him, he smiled and curved his lips into a smile!

After Ye Zhuxi ran out, she brought He Ye to the street.

He Ye yawned repeatedly as she followed her out, pouting and looking very unwilling: "Miss, what exactly are you going to buy for Fu Jingyuan? We've been walking all this way."

"My brother is going on a scientific expedition soon and needs to concentrate. I heard that Jishengtang has a medicine that can be cooked with turtle and drunk to refresh the mind. I want to make it for my brother!"

Lotus Leaf: "..."

Seeing He Ye's reluctant expression, Ye Zhuxi pulled her along, saying, "Oh dear, we're almost there! Hurry up and catch up, don't be lazy!"

Ye Zhuxi has been pampered since childhood and has never lifted a finger to do housework. Now, she is actually thinking of doing these things for Fu Jingyuan!

Seeing the sweet smile on her lips, He Ye shook her head, her dislike for Fu Jingyuan deepening even further.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of Jishengtang.

Just as Ye Zhuxi was excitedly about to go inside, she saw a familiar face rushing out of the clinic. She frowned and looked closely; it was Xiao Lian, Ye Fuyao's personal maid.

When she came out, she had a serious expression and was clutching her clothes furtively.

"Xiaolian!"

Lotus Leaf also noticed and asked with some confusion, "Why is Little Lotus sneaking around like this?"

"do not know"

After Xiaolian ran far away, Ye Zhuxi immediately took Heye and went inside.

Once inside, the two immediately spotted a young, handsome doctor.

She walked over and asked, "What did that little girl in the blue dress buy?"

The young doctor quickly waved his hand: "I'm so sorry, miss, we can't just talk about the patient's condition!"

"..."

Ye Zhuxi pursed her lips and took out a silver ingot, placing it on the counter: "Tell me!"

The young doctor gave her a bright smile, then pushed her money back: "No!"

Lotus Leaf stepped forward: "Do you know who our young lady is? She is General Ye's daughter. If you anger our young lady, she will tear down your entire clinic!"

"Wait! It's not time to talk about that yet," Ye Zhuxi pulled her aside.

She pushed the silver back: "That girl was my cousin's maid. I meant no harm, I just came to ask..."

"No!" he refused again.

Ye Zhuxi: "..."

Seeing that the young doctor was so stubborn, Ye Zhuxi gestured to He Ye, who immediately took out a gold leaf.

Seeing that the young doctor was about to refuse again, the man next to him couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the gold leaf from He Ye's hand, quickly put it in his mouth and bit it. Seeing that it was real, he hurriedly waved to them.

"Come in, you two. I'll tell you something in secret!"

The two followed him into the clinic.

"The young lady who came just now came to get medicine. She heard that her young lady and son-in-law have not been able to have children, so she wanted to get some medicine to try. She just came to get the medicine!"

Ye Zhuxi frowned slightly: "How many times have you come to pick it up?"

"It's been almost a month. The girl said she can't let her family know, and she only dares to take a little bit back at a time!"

"..."

Ye Zhuxi then had He Ye take out two gold leaves and hand them to the doctor: "Keep an eye on things from now on. If anything happens, remember to have someone come to the General's Mansion to tell me. Once things are settled, there will be plenty of these things!"

The doctor, seeing the money, nodded and smiled in agreement.

After she finished giving her instructions, she left the rest to He Ye.

Seeing his greedy look, He Ye warned him, "My young lady's status is not something ordinary people can afford to offend. If you accept her bribes but then disobey her, you'll regret it later!"

"Yes, yes, I will do my best to handle this for you, Miss!"

After finishing her business, Ye Zhuxi swaggered back home with the things she had bought.

As soon as she got back, she busied herself preparing everything and then had He Ye teach her step by step how to make soup.

……

She had never made these things before, and it was quite some time later when she finally managed to make a decent Jia Gui Tang.

This was Ye Zhuxi's first time making soup, and she carefully carried it to Fu Jingyuan.

Lotus Leaf stared in astonishment at her clumsy movements.

"Miss, shall I take it to you?"

"Need not!"

Her only response was Ye Zhuxi's departing figure.

She held the object in her hands as if it were a priceless treasure. But when she arrived at the backyard, what she saw was Fu Jingyuan and Li Wenyue embracing each other!

"..."
