Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Inside the Duke of Litt's mansion, on a bed in a guest room, a woman slowly opened her eyes. She first looked around at her surroundings, then tried to sit up, but quickly gave up due to the pain from her wounds.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a maid came in with towels and clothes. As soon as she reached the bedside, she saw that the woman on the bed had opened her eyes. She immediately put down the clothes and quickly went out.

Soon after, Lena entered the room, went to the bedside, and began to check on the woman's condition. This woman was the one Lena had rescued that night.

"I..." The words were barely out of her mouth when the woman burst into a violent cough. Lena quickly used her elemental power to help her calm down and said, "Don't get agitated, and don't speak for now. Your injuries are severe, and your throat is also quite damaged. Rest for a while. Don't worry, you'll be safe here with me. If you understand, just blink."

After hearing this, the woman blinked, indicating that she understood Lena's words. Seeing this, Lena said again, "Your injuries are healing very well. I will come to treat you once a day. In another three or four days, you may be able to walk and speak normally. Now rest first, and I will treat you. You coughed just now, so your throat was probably injured again, and other wounds have also reopened."

After saying that, Lena began to treat her. In the middle of the treatment, a maid hurriedly entered the room. Seeing that Lena was busy, she stood aside and waited until Lena finished the treatment. Then she stepped forward and said, "Miss, Lord Xiu, son of Marquis Boan, and Count Sigrid have come to visit and wish to pay their respects to you."

"Okay, I understand. Minister Boan and Minister Sigrid, please wait in the reception room for a moment. I'll be there as soon as I've packed up." Lena turned to instruct another maid to take good care of the patient before leaving the room. However, she didn't see that the woman on the bed showed immense fear in her eyes upon hearing Count Sigrid's name. She wanted to speak, but Lena, worried that she might hurt her throat if she tried to speak again, sealed her mouth. Thus, the woman lay on the bed unable to speak and could only watch Lena leave helplessly.

In the reception room, Boan Xiu, seeing that the maids had all left, immediately looked at Sigrid with a lewd expression and laughed, "Lady Sigrid, I was wondering how you've gotten younger and younger. Your skin, your appearance, are no different from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Is there really some secret technique?"

Sigrid knew that Xiu looked down on her, because she had sensed contempt and disdain in his seemingly lewd expression countless times, but she still replied with a coquettish laugh, "Lord Xiu, don't you know what secret techniques I have? Why don't you learn them with me tonight?"

Upon hearing Sigrid's reply, Xiu immediately declined, saying, "Uh, it's definitely not possible tonight. The Defense Department is having a joint meeting tonight, and I can't be absent."

"Is that so? How about tomorrow night? Tomorrow night should be fine, right? This young lady is very eager to hear Lord Xiu's teachings~" Sigrid's sexy mouth kept uttering highly provocative words, but these words were like venom to Bo'an Xiu's heart, which he wanted to avoid at all costs. He quickly said, "Uh, hehe, I really can't accept your kind offer. The military affairs have been very complicated lately, and I can't get away from them."

Sigrid chuckled lightly, "In that case, we'll just have to reschedule for another day~" She said this on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking, "You little brat, don't you even know what you look like? You think you can get a good look at me? You want to pursue Miss Ritsu? Don't even mention that Miss Ritsu won't be interested in you, I look down on you. Bah!"

After waiting for a while, Lena finally arrived at the reception room, bowed slightly to express her apology, and then sat down on the sofa. She said politely, "Minister Xiu, Minister Sigrid, may I ask what brings you here? If it is official business, you should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find my father."

Knowing it wasn't appropriate for Sigrid to speak, she remained silent, though her posture was impeccably polite. Boan Xiu immediately chimed in, "Hehe, Miss Lena, my visit today isn't official business; I have something to discuss with you personally." Xiu then pulled two tickets from his pocket and continued, "The renowned musician Wesker is currently visiting the capital, and I've managed to obtain two tickets. I'd like to invite Miss Lena to grace us with her presence."

After saying that, Boan Xiu handed one of the tickets to Lena. Lena accepted it politely and said with a smile, "I understand. I'll ask my father when he returns. As you know, he's very strict with me. Is there anything else, Minister Xiu?"

"This...hehe, no, no." Xiu's smile was a little awkward. Lena then turned to Sigrid and asked, "Minister Sigrid, may I ask what business you have with me?"

When Sigrid saw Lena's question, she immediately replied, "Miss Lena, I only came to see you about some personal matters, so..." She glanced at the maids in the room and smiled. Lena understood immediately, dismissed the maids, and then looked at Boan Xiu, asking, "Minister Xiu, perhaps you should also..."

"Oh, it's nothing. I know about Sigrid." Xiu didn't try to avoid the topic and remained seated on the sofa.

Sigrid began, “It is like this, Miss Lena, a good friend of mine wrote to me a few days ago, saying that she wanted to come to the capital to visit me, but I have not seen her. So I sent people to look for her everywhere. The people I sent out reported back that they saw her seriously injured not long ago. She was rescued by Miss Lena and is now at Miss Lena’s residence. I wonder if Miss Lena would allow me to take her away?”

After hearing this, Lena looked at Sigrid and asked with some doubt, "Your friend?"

"Yes, I don't know why she was injured, so I rushed over here as soon as I received the news. I didn't send a formal invitation beforehand, so I hope Miss Lena will forgive me."

“But her injuries are very serious. Are you sure that taking her away now won’t worsen her condition? Why don’t you leave her here with me until I’m fully healed before taking her away?” Lena said with some concern.

“She has already caused Miss Lena a lot of trouble, how could I dare to bother her any further? I will ask the Holy Healing Temple to send someone to treat her. Besides, she is my friend, so I always feel more at ease with her.”

Hearing Sigrid's explanation and seeing the worry on her face, Lena finally agreed. Overjoyed at Lena's agreement, Sigrid immediately offered to call a carriage and asked Bo-An-Shu to pick up her friend. Led by Lena, Shu arrived at the room where the woman was healing. The woman was already asleep. Shu glanced at her and said to Lena, "Miss Lena, leave this to my servants. There's no need to trouble the maids in the manor."

Boan Xiu was quite adept at winning people's hearts. By having his own servants do the work, he didn't need the help of the ducal maids. At the same time, he could also take the opportunity to get rid of Lena. Lena was happy not to trouble her maids, so she left the room. Xiu's men then stepped forward, lifted the woman up, and walked out of the ducal mansion.
