The courtyard of the green willow is not large, and at this time the lights are shining brightly, the voices are not noisy, but in the quiet night they seem especially jarring.

  Duan's family and Wu's family are closer to here than Hua Ru, they arrived earlier, with an inexplicable expression on their faces. After seeing the person who was burned into a coma, that little bit of doubt in their hearts also decreased a lot.

  Pretending to be ill is a common tactic for competing for favor, but getting to the point of losing consciousness is impossible. Who knows what they'll say when they're not in their right mind? If they blurt out something that shouldn't be said, won't that just bring trouble upon themselves?

  The two of them exchanged a glance, each with their own thoughts and plans in mind.

  Wu waved her hand to let the maid retreat, took over the towel in her hand, wrung it out and covered Qing Liu's forehead with it. Duan was secretly resentful that she had acted too slowly, so she could only wait on one side, perking up her ears to listen for any movement outside.

  Hua Ru asked as soon as she entered the yard, "Has the doctor arrived?"

  "Madam, the doctor hasn't arrived yet. I've already informed Auntie Guan, and she said this hour is not good for receiving guests. She told us to take good care of you, and as soon as it gets light, she'll inform Steward Qi."

  "Who is attending inside the house?" As she spoke, Hua Ru stepped up onto the steps, and Yun Shu lifted the curtain. The two people inside hastily paid their respects, "Your servant has seen the mistress."

  "Quickly pay your respects! You've arrived quickly, how is Green Aunt doing?"

  Duan's family had been waiting for this, and as soon as Hua Ru finished speaking, she said: "Green willow sister has been in a high fever and hasn't woken up, I'm so anxious that I don't know what to do, fortunately you came, I'm at my wit's end."

  In the end, her voice was already shaking, Hua Ru Chu watched this deep sisterly love play and couldn't help but get involved herself, her eyes instantly turned red, tears swirling within, "Green Auntie is a lucky person, nothing bad will happen to her, Autumn An, go to Guan Shi Po's place again, make sure she takes it seriously, first thing in the morning have the doctor come over."

  "Yes."

  Wiping away the corners of her eyes, Hua Ru looked around and asked in surprise, "Green Niang fell ill like this, why isn't her personal maid servant attending to her?"

  Madam Wu and Madam Duan's eyes narrowed, they had forgotten this matter. The personal maid would not leave her master's side without orders, but now Qing Liu was ill like this, yet her maid was not by her side, what did this imply?

  "This... I didn't see anyone when I came, only a little maid was serving here, so I'll go ask her."

  Madam Wu had just stood up when the curtain was lifted and Eldest Young Master strode in, with the person they were just talking about standing right behind him. By now, neither Madam Wu nor Madam Duan was unaware of what this was all about.

  Cruel, really cruel. In order to fight for favor, Green Willow can actually do it to herself. If she becomes an idiot or falls ill and dies, will she be at a loss?

  If it were them, they would never be so cruel to themselves.

  Seeing the arrival of her husband, Hua Ruji quickly stood up to greet him. "Husband, you have to get up early for work tomorrow, why did you come back? Zhi Ruo, how can you be so careless?"

  Zhi's face turned pale with fright as she knelt down, "Young Mistress, please forgive me. I was momentarily confused and dizzy, and Auntie kept calling out for the young master, so I...I...I know I was wrong, please punish me, Young Mistress."

  Hua Ru sighed, her expression softening, "Alright, you also have a loyal heart towards our master. It's Green Concubine's good fortune to have you by her side. Get up, next time something like this happens, report it to me and don't disturb the young master again."

  "Yes, this servant thanks Young Mistress for her understanding."

  It's thanks to her being so good at speaking and fooling around, Hua Ru initially used the action of wiping the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief to cover up the hooked corner of her mouth, and her gaze swept over Qi You's body with an air of "as if unintentionally", Your woman has spent so much thought for you, even disregarding her own body, are you moved or not?

  Wu Shi and Duan Shi then slowly came forward to pay their respects, Qi You en nodded slightly but didn't bother with them again, directly walking over to sit down at the bedside, seeing that Lu Liu's face was burning red, he reached out to feel her forehead, it was scorching hot.

  "When can the doctor come?"

  Yun Shu moved a chair to the bedside, and Hua Ruochu walked over and sat down, saying: "I've asked Qiu Zhen to hurry up, but at this hour it's probably impossible to get anyone here. The earliest we can expect someone is at dawn."

  Qī Yòu glanced at her, his eyes sweeping over the other two concubines. Compared to the two who were dressed up, this lazy and languid appearance was actually more charming.

  "Everyone go back home."

  Hua Ru was taken aback, but immediately thought that he might want to take care of it personally and got up saying: "Hubby has to go on duty tomorrow, please hubby go back and rest, here I'll handle it."

  "We're not doctors, having a maid to serve us is enough, what's the point of you staying up all night?" Qi You said as he stood up, "Zhi Ruo, take good care of her."

  "Yes." Zhi Ruo had originally thought that the young master would stay and take care of things personally, but now she was a bit uncertain. Did the master really have that much weight in the young master's heart?

  Looking at Qi You who was still walking ahead of her, Hua Ru Chu couldn't help but want to laugh and quickly covered it up with a light cough.

  Unexpectedly, Qi You stopped in his tracks and turned around, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked in a calm tone, "Are you feeling cold?"

  "It's nothing, just go back and have a cup of hot tea, don't worry about it, husband."

  Qī Yòu nodded slightly and averted her gaze towards the two people behind Huá Rú Chū, "Each of you go back to your rooms."

  The two of them couldn't help but feel disappointed and reluctantly agreed, bowing to Hua Ru before heading back to their own courtyard. They had originally thought they would have the chance to suggest going to their own place to rest for a bit, even if it meant sharing half the opportunity with someone else, which was still something to look forward to. But who would have thought that they wouldn't even get the chance to speak?

  Hua Ru initially thought that Qi You would return to the study, but after passing the intersection, she didn't see him turn around, and she immediately understood that he was preparing to go to her place. Was her husband planning to continue his conjugal visit tonight?

  This was exactly the darkest time, even with a lantern, the light was very weak. Hua Ru was walking carelessly and didn't notice what she had stepped on, her body suddenly stumbled, before she could steady herself, she was caught by a pair of warm hands, "Be careful."

  "A bit sleepy, it's best to sleep at this hour."

  Qī Yòu reached out and took the lantern from Yun Shū's hand, placing it beside Huá Rú Chū's feet. The hands he was supporting didn't pull back, as if forgotten. Huá Rú Chū muttered to herself but didn't dare remind him, for by her side stood someone whose body temperature was higher than hers, and in this early morning hour, she felt a sense of security.

  Yun Shu and others deliberately slowed down their pace, keeping a distance from the two in front. Whether Miss loved Young Master or not, if Young Master could fall in love with Miss, wouldn't that be a good thing?

  Back in the house, Qiyou instinctively let go of his hand and went straight to bed without saying a word.

  Hua Ru Chun paused for a moment, letting the maids retreat, and then blew out the candlelight and climbed up herself.

  Just as she thought Qi You was asleep, Qi You suddenly said: "When I was 17 years old and had a high fever that wouldn't subside, it was Lü Liu who took care of me for four days and four nights. It was also because of this matter that I promoted her."

  Hua Rujun quietly listened; at this moment, what this man needed was someone to listen.

  P.S: I'll write this article in a direction that's easy to read and enjoyable, it's impossible to be defeated at first, OH yeah.
