Chapter 11: The Dish That Has Gone Bad

After Yu Youwei woke up in the middle of the night, she lay on the bed and thought a lot, and she couldn't fall asleep again. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind would keep churning about the scenes that happened during the day. When she thought of these things now, she was terrified.

She was half-lying on the bed, her hands tugging at her clothes. Tugging and dragging, she suddenly thought of something, sat up straight despite the weakness of her body, lifted the quilt with her hand and kept groping around her body and surroundings.

It wasn't until she turned over the corners of the bed that she stopped the movements in her hand and sat in place with an anxious face.

"Where is it going?" She muttered to herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, as soon as she looked up, she saw the bloody clothes on the screen that the maid had not had time to throw away, and she was immediately relieved.

In order not to alarm the maid who was keeping vigil outside, Yu Youwei tiptoed out of bed. Because her body had not yet recovered, her whole body trembled and almost fell. She managed to stabilize herself, and then she moved her steps towards the screen.

The distance from the bed to the screen, she didn't know how long she had moved to the screen. She took off the clothes hanging from the screen, held them in her arms, and at the same speed, turned and walked to the bed.

Yu Youwei walked to the edge of the bed, held the head of the bed with her hand, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed. She put the clothes in her hands on her knees, and rummaged through them with both hands. After rummaging through a plate, she found the jade pendant that Wen Tingyun gave her from her clothes. Xu is body was tired, her fingers were already trembling and she didn't obey the call, and the jade pendant in her hand almost fell to the ground and shattered.

Yu Youwei used all her strength to put the jade pendant on her chest and pressed it, stepped on the soles of her shoes with her two feet to take off her shoes from her feet, lifted the messy quilt on one side and lay in.

She was lying face down on the bed, her hands still holding the jade pendant to her chest. Finally, I was able to close my eyes with peace of mind and fall asleep deeply.

When Yu Youwei woke up, she saw Li Yi sitting on the edge of her bed when she opened her eyes.

As soon as he saw that she was awake, Li Yi hurriedly beckoned someone to bring the food up, turned his head to look at her and said, "Are you hungry?" ”

A smile squeezed out of Yu Youwei's pale face, "I'm really hungry." ”

Li Yi scooped a bowl of soup from the table, he carefully brought it to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed slowly, and said while shaking the soup in the bowl with a spoon: "The doctor has specially explained in the past few days that you can't eat greasy." I asked the kitchen to make all kinds of light soups for the past two days, and you can definitely drink it. “

As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew it on his mouth, tasting it with his mouth before handing it to Yu Youwei's mouth.

Yu Youwei watched his movements, and her heart was extremely moved. If Li Lang hadn't appeared in time yesterday, it was really impossible to imagine what he would have posted next.

After she opened her mouth and drank the soup brought to her mouth, she stroked Li Yi's bearded face with her hand, and said distressedly: "I'm fine, you have to rest." Don't drag yourself down by taking care of me, I'll be distressed. ”

Li Yi watched her movements, her whole body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge but was held back by him. He looked at Yu Youwei and smiled dotingly, took the hand that was placed on his face, and carefully put it into the bed.

"Only if you take care of yourself, will I feel at ease to take care of my body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi turned his head and saw the jade pendant on the inside of the bed. He lowered his head and pretended not to care about stirring the soup in his hand, scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Yu Youwei's mouth, and asked, "What's that on your side?" ”

Yu Youwei obediently drank the soup in her hand, turned her head to look at her side, and smiled unconsciously when she saw that it was Yu Pei. She took out the jade pendant from the inside and shook it in front of Li Yi. "You said this, this is what the master gave me. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well. ”

Li Yi took in Yu Youwei's expression, but there was no strange look on her face. He still lowered his head and scooped the soup in his hand, spoonful by spoon to Yu Youwei's mouth.

Yu Youwei drank the soup and said to herself: "It's strange to say, I took it out of the bloody clothes, but it didn't have any blood stains. It's weird, you say, isn't it? ”

After she finished speaking, she shifted her gaze from the jade pendant to Li Yi's face, and saw that he kept lowering his head and stirring the soup in his hand, and did not reply. Feeling strange in his heart, he raised a hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and Li Yi raised his head to look at her.

Yu Youwei put her hand on his forehead and tested the temperature, "What's wrong with you?" It's a bit of a distraction. ”

Li Yi took her hand down, smiled casually, and said, "You think too much, I'm thinking about government affairs." Drink the soup quickly, don't get cold. As he spoke, he scooped another spoonful into her mouth.

Seeing him say this, Yu Youwei took the bowl and spoon from his hand, "You go and go about your own business, I will take care of myself." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

Hearing Yu Youwei's answer, Li Yi got up and walked out.

As soon as Li Yi walked out of the door, his originally smiling face instantly turned cold. He waved his hand and beckoned a little guy, and whispered a few words in his ear, and the little guy immediately nodded and went towards the east courtyard.

He looked at the back of the little guy leaving, and his dark eyes didn't know what was hidden.

In the east courtyard, Cui'er was looking at her own wife who was startled with a puzzled expression, and she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her own wife when she squeezed her head. The development of this matter is really wrong, how could they have thought that this master could be so desperate for that Yu Youwei.

Just as she was thinking, suddenly a small guy knocked on the door and walked in. After the little servant entered the door, he saluted respectfully towards Pei's family.

Pei Shi turned his head to look at him and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?" ”

The little guy replied respectfully. "Back to Mrs., the little one is to come and pass a message to Mrs. for the master."

"What?"

"The master said to let Mrs. throw away the dishes that have changed the taste, don't eat them in your stomach and feel uncomfortable. also said that Mrs. is the head of the house, although this matter is small, but the person who should be in charge must continue to be managed, don't let the following not know the proportion. ”

When Pei Shi heard this, he was shocked in his heart. She looked up at the dishes on the table, none of them had changed their taste, why did this master say this.

"What is the look on your face when you say this?"

The little guy lowered his head and thought carefully, "The master seems to be a little unhappy on his face." He looked up at Pei's face and said, "Ye should still be thinking about Madame, and he remembers everything." ”

Pei Shi waved his hand at the little servant and said to Cui'er on the side: "Take him down to reward a penny of silver." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Cui'er replied.

As soon as the little servant heard Pei's words, he immediately showed joy on his face, and hurriedly saluted: "Mrs. Xie's reward!" ”

Cui'er walked to the door, glanced back at the little guy who was still saluting, and said, "Let's go." ”

Only then did the little guy get up and retreat with Cui'er.

When Cui'er came back, when she entered the door, she saw her wife tasting the dishes in front of her with chopsticks, and her mouth was chattering.

"Ma'am, but what went wrong? I'm going to get the chef over today and ask him about his sins! With that, Cui'er turned around and walked out.

"Wait!" Pei Shi stopped her, "Close the door." ”

Cui'er's face was full of doubts, and she didn't say much. He slammed the door shut, turned to Pei's side and watched her continue to taste the rest of the dishes.
