Ever since Shen Xixi followed Ji Wuhen onto the sedan chair, her consciousness began to feel drowsy and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

After getting off the sedan chair, I knew nothing about everything happening around me.

Lying on the bed, Shen Xixi hugged the brocade quilt tightly, and smelled a faint smell of blood in her breath, but it disappeared quickly.

"Imperial physician, how is she?" After handling the matters outside the accounts, Ji Wuhen took the imperial physician back to Shen Xixi to check her pulse.

"Mrs. Fu just suffered from wind and cold, nothing serious. Just prescribe a few medicines and she will be fine." After careful diagnosis, the imperial doctor sat on a round stool, smoothed the gray beard on his chin and spoke softly.

"Well, let's follow the imperial doctor to get the prescription." When Ji Wuhen heard that Shen Xixi was okay, Ji Wuhen's face improved a lot, and he waved to ask someone to send the imperial doctor out.

"Sister...sleep well." Sitting on the edge of the bed, he put Shen Xixi's hands that were holding the quilt in his hands. Looking at the dazzling bruises on the other person's wrists, Ji Wuhen's eyes gradually darkened.

Outside the tent, Fu Minghe and Fu Youxing stood side by side, watching the servants clean the blood on the ground.

"Wuhen...her?" Fu Youxing's face turned pale as he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

I don't understand that Wuhen, who is as gentle as water, would do such a bloody thing.

"Go back and have a good rest. We will leave for Beijing tomorrow." Fu Minghe patted Fu Youxing on the shoulder and looked at the haggard look on his face and whispered.

Then he turned around and left.

Fu Youxing, who stayed where he was, looked at his father who left, then turned around and looked inside the tent. Finally, he sighed helplessly and returned to his residence.

……

At night, torches were lit inside and outside the resting area, and the major resting tents were also lit up.

"Master." In a corner outside the tent, Ah San appeared silently and knelt in front of Ji Wuhen.

"Liu family." Ji Wuhen's eyes were filled with coldness as he rubbed the small, cold token in his palm.

"Yes." After receiving the order, Ah San slowly stood up and disappeared into the night.

The night wind gradually picked up, ruffling the robes of the person standing in the corner.

Looking up at the dark sky, Ji Wuhen raised his hand to tie the torn red thread on the token and put it on his neck.

"Wuhen?" Suddenly, a male voice sounded, and Ji Wuhen's eyes lit up.

"Is it really you? Wuhen, why are you here?" After confirming the person in front of him, Fu Youxing walked towards Ji Wuhen.

Because he was feeling depressed, he went out for a walk after dinner, hoping to relieve his mood.

But I didn't want to meet Wuhen here.

"Fu Youxing?" Hearing the voice of the visitor, Ji Wuhen slowly lowered his raised hand and retracted the thin blade at his fingertips.

"Well, why is the princess here? It's late at night, be careful of the cold."

Smiling softly at the girl who walked out of the shadows, Fu Youxing's voice was low.

Looking at that charming and beautiful face in the night, the confusion in his heart slowly dissipated. Wuhen was frightened, so he lost control.

"I'm about to go back, why is the Third Master here?" With a sweet smile, Ji Wuhen walked up to Fu Youxing, looking at his melancholy face, the disgust in her heart deepened.

Sister... do you like this face?

He has not forgotten the reason why Shen Xixi rejected him when they were intimate before. Although the two of them have made it clear, he also understands the purpose of his sister's visit to the Hou Mansion.

However, Ji Wuhen was wavering about Shen Xixi's feelings for Fu Youxing. As a handsome young man with a brilliant reputation in the capital, he was as gentle as jade.

There are countless people who admire Fu Youxing, and even the idiot Fu Mingzhu, Fu Youxing's "close" sister, has ulterior motives for him.

"When I went out for a walk, I had many questions in my mind, and I really couldn't figure out the result." Hearing Ji Wuhen's caring words, Fu Youxing smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes.

"Oh? Brother Xingzhi... when I helped you enter the Marquis' Mansion, I didn't just listen to your frustration and complaints. Our future... don't you want it anymore?"

Ji Wuhen sneered at Fu Youxing's self-pitying look, and his narrow eyes slowly filled with frost.

"...No hatred?" As if he was suddenly awakened from his sleep, Fu Youxing's eyes widened suddenly and he looked at the girl in red opposite.

"Brother Xingzhi, are you really willing to be a puppet at the mercy of others? Fu Hou is getting older, and for many things... Wuhen is counting on you in the end." He gently stepped forward and took Fu Youxing's warm palm. , Ji Wuhen's eyes were filled with endless affection.

"No hatred..." Looking at the deep dependence and trust in the other person's eyes, Fu Youxing felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Wuhen was right, his father was old, and the entire huge Hou Mansion, as well as the future position, and Xi'er, Wuhen would all be his in the end!

"Brother Xingzhi, be careful when you go back, Wuhen will leave first." Seeing Fu Youxing excitedly moving forward to hug him, Ji Wuhen took a step back without leaving any trace.

Through Fu Youxing's calmness, Ji Wuhen saw the maid serving her approaching, and Ji Wuhen went to greet her.

"Princess, Miss Shen is awake."

……

In the tent, Shen Xixi was sitting on the bedside leaning on the pillow, feeling weak all over and her hands and feet were extremely sore.

"Sister, are you awake?" At a loss, Ji Wuhen walked in like a wind, bringing a burst of cool air, which made the heat on her body go away a bit.

"Have I slept for a long time?" Looking at the faint smile on Ji Wuhen's lips, Shen Xixi also relaxed.

"Well, sister is really a sleepyhead, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ji Wuhen's voice became gentler as she pushed aside the sweat-stained hair from Shen Xixi's pink cheeks.

"Much better, but my whole body is weak." She moved her hands and feet, and felt waves of soreness and numbness, which made Shen Xixi frown slightly.

"It's okay, sister is just too tired. Let's sleep for a while." With a chuckle, Ji Wuhen helped Shen Xixi lie down, looking at her big wet eyes, her heart felt soft.

"What about you?" Shen Xixi asked softly as she lay down obediently and looked at Ji Wuhen who was still sitting by the bed.

Although the tent is large, there is only one bed. He spent the night in the cave last night and needed to rest.

"Sister... do you want to sleep with me?" Hearing Shen Xixi's concern for her, Ji Wuhen raised the corners of her lips and shimmered in her eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense." Faced with Ji Wuhen's teasing expression, Shen Xixi rolled her eyes at him and moved sideways towards the bed to make room for him.

"Sister...do you regret it?" Ji Wuhen extinguished the candle, took off his outer robe and lay next to Shen Xixi, turning to look at her sideways, Ji Wuhen spoke in a low voice.

"One thing, but...compared to human life, it is just a cold sign." Shen Xixi's eyelids moved slightly as she closed her eyes without opening them, and a drop of clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes, but her voice was extremely firm.

For a woman, losing her reputation is more serious than losing her life.

With Ji Wuhen's character, once he is humiliated, death will definitely be waiting for him!
