Xie Wei’s eyes followed the woman’s movements closely.

He smiled gently and said, "If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll worry. Besides, I can endure this pain."

"You are hiding your illness and avoiding medical treatment. You can't do this anymore. Do you understand?" Shi Shuang said unhappily.

She stared at the man intently.

Xie Wei quickly raised his hand and swore, "I will never do this again next time."

"Huh." Shi Shuang was amused by the man's childish yet sincere look. She snorted, "Wait here obediently. I'll go find Uncle Lin."

Looking at her back.

Xie Wei held his chin and fell into deep thought. Ah Shuang was such a good girl. He actually felt love in her scoldings.

He leaned lazily, tilted his head back, and placed his hand on his forehead.

"Well, he doesn't have a fever, but he's probably crazy, right?"

As autumn deepened, the entire yard was covered with fallen leaves. Gardenia kept sweeping with a broom, while Xie's mother picked up beautiful flowers behind.

A few sad words from time to time.

"The world is impermanent but has a finality, life is final but impermanent."

Looking at these flowers, I couldn't help feeling a little sad. Who could have thought that so many things would happen in autumn, and she would change from a general's wife admired by everyone to what she is now.

Flowers bloom and fall, everything in this world is unpredictable.

Gardenia scratched her head, not understanding. She smiled and comforted, "Madam, everything will be fine."

Mother Xie smiled, shook off the dewdrops on the flower, and held it in her arms.

She said to herself: "I think this is pretty good. The general doesn't have to go to the battlefield, his son and daughter-in-law are by his side, and he lives in a small courtyard. What a wonderful life."

"But there are still charges against me." Gardenia said as she piled the fallen leaves aside.

"Everyone in this world has some stains on them." Xie's mother raised her head at the gloomy sky. Why is it going to rain again?

It was a sunny day just now, but the sun was swallowed up again before it even came out.

Gardenia thought about it and then nodded.

"You're right."

Shi Shuang found Uncle Lin in the kitchen. She looked at the boiled water and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, do you have any extra hot water?"

"Yes." Uncle Lin asked, "What do you want to do with it?"

Shi Shuang explained: "My son-in-law is poisoned and needs to take a bath and use hot water to drive away the cold."

Uncle Lin looked at the hot water, which was originally intended for the prince.

But in his heart, his son-in-law was not as important as him. He said, "It's enough. I'll bring it to you right away."

"I'll help you." Shi Shuang picked up the bucket without any pretense.

Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Miss, you are truly the most heroic woman I have ever seen."

On the way back, Shi Shuang happened to run into Xie Yan. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fourth brother, can you do me a favor?"

"Sister-in-law, you say." Xie Yan nodded in agreement.

Shi Shuang whispered, "I feel like things have been uneasy these past few days. Go to the village and ask the Third Master to bring a few people to live in the yard to protect us. There are horses in the backyard. You can ride a fast horse."

"Okay." Xie Yan nodded and looked up at the sky.

Holding the straw raincoat, he looked at Gardenia and his aunt who were sweeping fallen leaves in the yard. He walked over, looked at the leaves and said.

"I'm going to go out for a while, remember to close the door."

Gardenia was stunned. She continued to sweep the fallen leaves on the ground. Mother Xie put her hand on Gardenia's shoulder.

"I don't think he said that to me."

"Uh..." Gardenia turned her head and looked at Xie Yan. It was as if she had received an electric shock. She quickly looked away and trotted forward with the broom in her hand. "I, I don't understand."

The wind was cold, but her heart was burning.

Xie Yan coughed lightly, clasped his fists and said, "Aunt, I'm going out first."

"Go ahead." Xie's mother showed an ambiguous smile on her face. When she saw Xie Yan walking away, she looked at Gardenia and had an idea in her mind.

It would be great if these two children could be together.

Yan'er is gentle, down-to-earth and a good man. Zhizi Suishuishuang is not a bad man either. After spending these few days together, she can feel that Zhizi is a simple and kind girl.

Bucket after bucket of hot water was poured into the bathtub.

Shi Shuang rolled up her sleeves and, with the help of Xie Guzong, successfully lifted Xie Xuan into the bathtub.

Xie Guzong was just a tool. "Call me after you're done washing. Shuang'er, please watch over me here."

“…Huh?” Without waiting for Shi Shuang to refuse, Xie Guzong ran away.

Xie Wei sank into the water and took off his shirt. He held it out and said politely, "Thank you for your help."

"Ahem..." Shi Shuang took it. The water was clear, and she could see the upper body naked. Then...

I really don't dare to watch it anymore.

There is a thief's heart but no thief's courage.

She walked behind the curtain, took out the best cold-relieving herbs from the space, crushed them into powder, and then poured them into the water.

"You soak well, I'll read a book next to you."

Shi Shuang casually pulled a book from the bookshelf. She was not in the mood to read. She looked up at Xie Wei from time to time. If she met his eyes, she could only smile awkwardly.

After a moment, Xie Yan's eyes were filled with smile.

"You're holding the book upside down. If you want to read it, you can get closer."

As he spoke, he placed his hands on the sides of the tub, straightened up, and raised his shoulders above the water.

Shi Shuang turned the book over and stammered, "I, I'm not reading. I'm thinking about how to treat your illness."

Xie Wei didn't say much, just smiled and closed his eyes to rest.

After a long time, after adding two buckets of water, he suddenly opened his eyes and showed a painful look.

"Hey, it hurts."

He left the stool and fell into the water.

Shi Shuang raised her head, ran over in panic, and grabbed his arm, but the force of the fall was too great.

Time is running out and I can't call anyone.

She took off her coat, stepped on a stool, and jumped into the bathtub. The scene of her previous contact with the man emerged in her mind. She pulled the man out, but he was unconscious.

"Xie Wei?"

No one responded.

Shi Shuang helped him sit down, propped up his feet with her legs to prevent him from sliding down, and held the man's shoulders with her hands.

After she fed the man a pill, she took a deep breath and lifted his chin.

I aimed at his pale, thin lips and kissed them gently. His lips were cool and soft, like ice cream.

Soon, Xie Wei opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was so close to him, his eyes trembling slightly.

Then he moved his mouth.

"Are you awake... huh?" Shi Shuang left quickly and was about to speak when he was pulled back.

Xie Wei touched the back of her head and increased the force.

He stroked her back with his hand, feeling a rush of heat in his abdomen. He noticed that the woman gently pushed him away, but he did not force her and slowly left her lips.

"A Shuang, you have to be responsible for me."

"What am I, I, I responsible for?" The bathtub was very foggy and Shi Shuang's face was covered in sweat.

Xie Wei said: "You touched me all over, looked at me, and even kissed me. You have to be responsible for me."

His heart was beating, he couldn't control himself.

At this moment, he has become unlike himself. The pure and simple self has long disappeared. He finally understood that his mother was right: a good woman is afraid of being pestered by a man.

Shi Shuang admitted that it was true.

"It's a helpless move. Besides, these things are mutual."

"If someone else was choking on water and couldn't breathe, would you save him like this?" Xie Yan's eyes sank, and there was even a hint of jealousy.

Shi Shuang raised an eyebrow, "Maybe."
