"What's wrong?" Chi Yue suddenly stood up from the bed.

Hua Er patted her chest, took a breath, and said, "I don't know why Master Situ angered the Second Miss again today. The Second Miss punished him to kneel in the front hall and is now holding a whip."

Hua'er originally didn't want to tell the young lady about this, but the young lady told her to always pay attention to Situ Shang, so no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only watch.

"I know." Chi Yue's face was indifferent. She thought that Pei Yanchao had said it yesterday and took action today.

"Miss, don't you want to go over and take a look?" Hua'er thought that she asked her to look after Situ Shang because she was worried that something might happen to him, but looking at the young lady's expression, it seemed that she was not very worried.

Chi Yue straightened her messy clothes and said, "Let's go and take a look, but we have to wait a while."

In the past, the original owner thought about him too much. Every time Chi Suwu tortured him, the original owner would find a way to help him. In the end, he didn't even know who saved him.

He even thought that Chi Suwu was kind-hearted, which was why he didn't dare to kill him, and he even talked about love with Chi Suwu.

Chi Yue waited for a moment, and guessed that Situ Shang had been beaten all over, so he hurried over.

Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Situ Shang again, Chi Yue endured the pain and caught the whip. Her palm immediately became red and swollen, and she gasped in pain: "Second sister."

Chi Suwu was furious and was about to whip Chi Yue in the face, but she remembered that Chi Yue was going to go outing with her in a few days, so she stopped and said, "Get out of the way. I won't hit you today."

"Second sister, he has been whipped many times. If you beat him any more, something bad will happen." Situ Shang looked at the girl who was obviously trembling but still standing in front of him.

She was obviously so scared, why didn't she hide away, why did she save him?

He wanted to ask her to leave, but he also wanted to see what she could do for him.

"Get out of the way!" The whip passed across Chi Yue's cheek. Chi Yue was so scared that she closed her eyes, but she did not take a step back.

The whip fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Chi Yue couldn't help but cover her nose with her sleeve and coughed a few times.

"Second sister, what mistake did he make?"

Chi Suwu looked at the person kneeling on the ground with disgust. Lu'er beside her quickly said, "Master Situ has ruined Miss's clothes. This is what Miss is going to wear when she goes outing."

Chi Yue glanced at Situ Shang, mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "If you don't mind, can I take a look?"

Lu'er was about to sneer at her when she saw Chi Suwu looking at her, so she had no choice but to take the clothes with a big cut in it to Chi Yue.

"There was such a big cut on the hem of the skirt. It was a light punishment that the lady didn't beat him to death."

Chi Yue took a look and said, "Second sister, can you give me this dress and let me try? Maybe I can repair it."

Chi Suwu looked at her suspiciously and said, "If you can fix it, I won't bother with him about it, but if you can't fix it, you and he will be whipped together."

Situ Shang did not miss the slight tremor of the girl's body. He raised his head and looked at the girl who had been standing in front of him. Something seemed to break in his heart.

Chi Yue waited for Chi Suwu to leave before asking Hua'er to help Situ Shang up: "Hua'er, send Master Situ back, and then go get some gold medicine from under my dressing table."

Situ Shang struggled to stand up. He looked at Chi Yue's slightly open palm and asked, "Your hand?"

Of course Chi Yue showed it to him on purpose. She quickly put her hands behind her back and said, "I'm fine."

There was still an unfallen tear in the corner of the girl's eye. Her eyes were obviously red with fright, but she pretended that she didn't care about anything.

"Hual, why don't you go and apply medicine to him." Although Hua'er was a little dissatisfied, she still sent Situ Shang back.

Chi Yue looked at the red mark on her palm, watching it disappear before her eyes, and then become more serious in the blink of an eye. She looked a little impatient: "What a trouble."

"If it's a problem, why did Miss rush to look for it?"

Pei Yanchao often appeared and disappeared, and Chi Yue was almost used to it. Now that her true face had been seen, she was too lazy to pretend: "Your Excellency is so powerful, how could you not understand it."

Pei Yanchao put away the fan: "I can see it clearly, but I just can't understand the eldest lady."

He could feel the bond between him and Chi Yue growing closer, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Since you can't understand it, it's better to look at it less." After saying this, Chi Yue ignored him, picked up her skirt and left.

Pei Yanchao looked at her back and slowly opened the fan, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chi Yue embroidered for an entire night before finally mending the skirt and asked Hua'er to deliver it to Chi Suwu.

She yawned. She hadn't slept all night and was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the table.

When Hua'er came back and saw the young lady like this, she became even more dissatisfied with Situ Shang. It was always him who caused trouble, but he always wanted the young lady to clean up the mess for him.

She sighed and carefully covered Chi Yue with a blanket, staying by her side.

Chi Yue slept until noon and woke up with a sore back.

"Miss, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

Chi Yue nodded, ate something simple, bandaged her palms, looked down at her palms, and then stood up.

Hua'er was a little puzzled: "Miss, where are you going?"

"Go see my cousin." The smile on Hua'er's face disappeared in an instant. She wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Chi Yue again.

Last night, Hua'er left after sending Situ Shang back. Situ Shang was holding the bottle of medicine in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.

There was a gentle knock on the door. He placed the medicine bottle on the table and slowly opened the door.

Seeing that his wounds had not been treated, Chi Yue's smile immediately disappeared from her face: "You didn't apply medicine?"

There was a hint of blame in her tone, and Situ Shang couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed that she had never been cold to him before.

Chi Yue no longer cared about the distinction between men and women, and directly pulled him into the house and forced him to sit down: "Take off your clothes."

A moment of embarrassment flashed across Situ Shang's face: "This is inappropriate."

It was the first time he rejected her, and he didn't expect it was because of something like this. He felt a little strange.

"I'll apply medicine for you. Your injury is very serious. If you don't apply medicine quickly, the wound will become inflamed." Chi Yue softened her tone.

Seeing that Situ Shang was unmoved, she tore off his clothes, revealing his skinny body.

Situ Shang seemed to know that his body was not good-looking, and his face looked very embarrassed. He wanted to reach out and put on his clothes, but was stopped by Chi Yue.
