In just a moment, the figure of Lin Yanyu, who was already familiar to her, appeared in the room.

Li Yanqi took big steps and almost reached the bed in a few steps. He put his arms around her waist and half-hugged her in his arms.

He laid on her shoulders, rubbing her vigorously, and said in a muffled voice: "Do you know how long you have slept? If the doctor hadn't said you were fine, I would have been scared to death. I won't let you get sick again!"

Lin Yanyu's face turned red from being rubbed by him. She punched his shoulder with her fist and said coquettishly, "You are so overbearing! You even want to control whether I get sick or not. I don't want to get sick myself!"

Li Yanqi lowered his eyebrows and nudged her hard, like a wolfhound begging for meat from its owner.

"I don't care. If I say no, then no!"

Lin Yanyu had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and felt a little uneasy. She couldn't help blushing, fearing that others would see her.

She pushed Li Yanqi's broad chest with her fists.

"Alright, alright, let me go first. This is not my home. If someone sees you, do you still want me to be a human being?"

Just as the two were arguing, there was a knock on the door, followed by Du Ruo's voice.

"Master Li, the medicine is ready. I'll bring it to Madam."

Li Yanqi lay on Lin Yanyu's neck and gnashed his teeth.

"Who is this person? Why did he come at this time instead of earlier or later?"

Lin Yanyu glanced at him reproachfully, pushed him away from her arms, and said softly, "Come in."

Du Ruo walked in with a droopy face, carrying a bowl of thick black medicine on a tray.

Li Yanqi glanced at her, then raised his eyebrows at Lin Yanyu, pretending to be mysterious: "Do you still remember who this girl is?"

Lin Yanyu clearly knew Du Ruo's identity just now, but at this moment she still looked at Li Yanqi with her big grape eyes, pretending not to know.

"Who is it? Could it be your new maid?"

Li Yanqi's thick black eyebrows flew up, and his face was full of complacency.

"Tsk, look, even you have forgotten yourself. I am the only one who regards your words as the golden rule."

Lin Yanyu knew that he wanted to show off. Seeing his smug look, she found it adorable and couldn't help but tease him.

"He used to even refer to Shui Jing Zhu as Shui Hongzhu, but now he even refers to the Golden Rule. This is incredible, wow."

Li Yanqi has always been shameless towards his beloved. Not only was he not embarrassed, but he even puffed out his chest and said with a grin, "Isn't it because my wife taught me well?"

Du Ruo was standing aside. Lin Yanyu was thin-skinned and her cheeks turned red after hearing his embarrassing words. She looked at Du Ruo shyly.

Li Yanqi followed her gaze and glanced.

"When you were in trouble in Chunfeng Garden, you insisted that this girl free you. You owed her a favor and asked me to redeem her, and asked me to give her some silver to live on. I redeemed her as you asked, and gave her fifty taels, but this girl refused and insisted on being a slave with my family."

As he spoke, Li Yanqi's eyes flickered, and he continued to look at Lin Yanyu and said, "You know, I hate these maids and attendants the most. You are thin-skinned, and what's the fun in having these annoying people around? I just had someone send her to Wulong Village. Then I forgot about it. When I arrived at Wulong Village, Wang Zhenlong mentioned it to me, and then I remembered it."

Lin Yanyu's neck turned red from Li Yanqi's bold words. She was so angry that she reached out to pinch him secretly and whispered, "I'm going to die. There are outsiders here!"

She was so embarrassed and annoyed that she naturally didn't notice that Du Ruo's cheeks were flushed.

Du Ruo said, "When Master Li left, Madam Chen was forcing me to put up a sign to receive guests. I was forced into no choice but to agree. If Master Li hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened to me. I have no way to repay this great kindness. I am only willing to be a slave and serve Master Li and his wife."

Li Yanqi was a little impatient and waved his hand, saying, "No, don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my wife. She told me to do all these."

Du Ruo's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I want to thank my wife and Master Li."

Lin Yanyu looked at Du Ruo and saw that her face was rosy and her expression was no longer as numb as it was in Chunfeng Garden. She felt relieved.

"You're welcome. This is just a reward for helping me untie the ropes."

Li Yanqi took the medicine bowl from the tray, brought it to Lin Yanyu, and urged: "Okay, drink the medicine first, or it will get cold."

Lin Yanyu reached out to take the medicine bowl, but unexpectedly, he scooped a spoonful with a spoon, blew it cool, and handed it to her mouth.

Lin Yanyu's face suddenly turned red, and she looked at Du Ruo shyly.

Normally, at this moment, most people would just avoid her, but after Du Ruo looked at her, he just lowered his head slightly.

Seeing that she was reluctant to open her mouth, Li Yanqi said impatiently, "What? Don't you want to drink what your husband feeds you? They are waiting for me to go to the meeting room to discuss matters. Hurry up."

Du Ruo had been watching from the side. Lin Yanyu had a small face and felt that she was in a difficult situation.

"I'm much better now, I can actually drink on my own."

"What's okay? You've been lying in bed for so long, your arms and legs must be weak, you can't hold on and fall off the bed, and we won't be able to sleep at night. Your husband fed you this himself, why don't you drink it quickly!"

As he said this, he put the spoon directly against Lin Yanyu's lips.

Lin Yanyu had no choice but to swallow the medicine with a red face as she couldn't resist his domineering temper.

Li Yanqi saw Du Ruo leaving from the corner of his eye and said, "What a silly girl! You can't even tell that someone is after your things!"

After saying that, he felt embarrassed again and said angrily, "Pooh, pooh, pooh! I am a worthless person. No, no, damn it, why did I scold myself?"

Lin Yanyu didn't quite understand at first, but when she looked at Li Yanqi's beautiful eyes and recalled Du Ruo's description just now, she realized something was wrong.

After I understood what was going on, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, drink the medicine first, I'm in a hurry to go to the front to discuss things."

There was no one around, so Lin Yanyu opened her mouth quickly, frowned, and drank the medicine.

Seeing her painful expression, Li Yanqi couldn't help but frown as well, complaining: "Even so, you still want to be our slave. You have no sense at all, and you don't even know how to give us a portion of candied fruit to sweeten our mouths."

As Li Yanqi spoke, he wiped her lips with his thumb, looked around for a towel, and finally wiped them a few times with his sleeve.

He took the medicine bowl in his hand and stood up.

"Okay, I'm going to go ahead now. You can have a good rest here. Don't worry about your parents and uncle. I have taken them all to Wulong Village. They came to see you when you were asleep, but I persuaded them to go back. When you feel better, go talk to them."

Lin Yanyu was overjoyed, "Thank you, husband. Go and get busy first, don't make others wait anxiously."

Li Yanqi walked out, looked back at her again, shook his head and said, "Oh, what a silly girl."

Then he put the medicine bowl on the eight-immortals table, turned around and walked out.
