The next day.
When Xue Yu got up, she had a splitting headache and felt groggy.
She still remembered that there was movement in her ears from time to time last night, but she could not hear it clearly no matter what.
I wasn't surprised to see Jiang Xuze not around. My husband was a doctor, and he would sometimes get up very early in the morning to collect herbs.
His body moved slightly, and the quilt slipped down. Only then did he realize that most of his clothes had been undone.
Xue Yu frowned slightly. Did she untie it herself in the middle of the night? Seeing that there were no marks on his body, he didn't think much about it.
I glanced at the sky outside the window, it was bright and it was almost midnight, my head suddenly woke up, and I quickly washed and tidied up.
When I came out of the house, I didn't notice the front and suddenly ran into a hard embrace.
A pair of strong arms held her waist, and quickly let go without any unnecessary action.
"Madam, be careful." A deep magnetic voice sounded above her head.
Xue Yu subconsciously took a few steps back and looked up at him, "Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Thinking that she hadn't cooked yet this morning, Xue Yu felt a little embarrassed, and a glow flew up her cheeks.
Wei Jing looked at the woman condescendingly, his temples were a little scattered after being hit, a few strands of black hair fell off, and they leaned softly against the soft chin, showing a bit of elegance.
There was a bit of embarrassment in her expression. Looking at her like this, Wei Jingchen knew that she knew nothing about what happened last night.
He suddenly wanted to expose her husband's true identity, and he would definitely cry with red eyes and tears, and he was very sad and pitiful.
But not yet.
"I haven't eaten yet today."
The man seemed to speak politely, and his face was so handsome, "Madam seems to have gotten up a little late today."
Xue Yu didn't expect Wei Jingchen to see through it, her cheeks turned redder and her voice was low, "I don't know why, I'll go down there and give it to you."
Although Wei Jingchen was staying temporarily, he also exchanged his personal jade pendant and paid enough silver.
Xue Yu saluted the man and passed him.
Wei Jingchen was about to look away when he suddenly noticed that there was still a faint finger mark under her cheek.
This was obviously done by him last night.
I didn't expect that such a light touch would leave traces. Even a noble girl raised in Kyoto would not be so delicate.
Thinking about it, Wei Jingchen looked at the courtyard door, his eyes dim, Jiang Xuze had gone out very early, his expression dark and unclear.
After this time, the old woman didn't dare to do it anymore.
Jiang family.
After Jiang Dali returned, he had already learned the truth from his mother's mouth. He felt regretful and resentful in his heart, and he was even more fortunate that he was not tainted.
If something happened in the future, how could the three younger siblings look at him?
Jiang Xuze truthfully told Jiang Dali the whole story and said in a pleading tone, "Brother, I know you like my wife, please help me..."
"Third brother!" Jiang Dali warned sternly, rarely displaying the majesty of an eldest brother, and warned, "Third brother, don't make such crooked ideas anymore. If I find out about it, I will tell her about it."
Jiang Xuze gritted his teeth, "I know."
Jiang Dali didn't see the flash of madness in Jiang Xuze's eyes.
Time passed slowly, and it was already afternoon.
Jiang Xuze hasn't come back yet.
Xue Yu was used to it, so she tentatively touched the large tank. The water was almost bottoming out, so she took the bucket and threw it into the wellhead in the front yard.
Because her eyesight was a bit bad, Jiang Xuze specially asked someone to dig a well in the yard, so as not to have to go elsewhere to fetch water.
After Xue Yu fetched the water, although she never went to the ground, she often carried water and so on, so she had some strength.
Carrying the bucket, I walked slowly, not a single drop of water splashed out.
Xue Yu stepped on something, and felt a little unstable under her feet. She panicked subconsciously, and the barrel fell to the side, spilling almost all the water.
A strong big hand suddenly held her arm, "Are you okay?"
Xue Yu listened to the cold sound of the jade breaking and shook her head, "It's okay, please pass the barrel to me."
Wei Jingchen has never seen a woman like Xue Yu. Although she looks weak and slender, she is inexplicably stubborn and determined in her bones.
She knew clearly that her eyesight was bad, but she still went to fetch water. In fact, she could rely on her beauty and didn't need to do anything.
But she didn't. Instead, she tried her best to do what she could.
It seems that he is afraid of owing something.
Does she really like that Jiang Xuze so much? He is clearly just an extremely despicable person.
Perhaps because Xue Yu's eyesight was bad and she couldn't see his expression, Wei Jingchen's usually calm face appeared cracked.
His tone was still calm, as if he was just curious, "Why don't you wait until Doctor Jiang comes to fetch water?"
Xue Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly and she said softly, "...This is the only way I can help him."
Wei Jingchen saw the flash of guilt on Xue Yu's face, and his heart suddenly throbbed violently, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'll get you some water. You sit down." Wei Jingchen's voice was a bit hard.
Before Xue Yu could refuse, Wei Jingchen had already walked towards the wellhead carrying the barrel.
The vat was so big that it almost took seven or eight buckets back and forth to fill it up, but Wei Jingchen barely took a breath and kept steady and strong steps.
"I'm thirsty." Wei Jingchen said suddenly.
Xue Yu finally reacted and fumbled with the teapot.
Wei Jingchen did not remind her where the teapot was, but watched with interest as she worked for him.
Soon, Xue Yu touched the teapot, poured him a cup, and handed it to him.
Wei Jingchen took it with Yuci's fingers, and touched her palm with her little finger, "Thank you very much."
Xue Yu was stunned for a moment. Just now she seemed to feel an itch in her palms. Did Wei Jingchen accidentally touch her?
Before she could think about it, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard door.
It was already afternoon when Jiang Xuze returned to the hospital, carrying a medicine basket filled with herbs just picked from the mountains.
As soon as he entered, he saw a man carrying a bucket. Standing beside him was his wife, tall and straight, soft and beautiful, as if they were husband and wife.
Xue Yu heard the familiar noise and immediately came up to her, "Husband, you are finally back. Are you hungry?"
Climbing up the mountain is a strenuous task. Although Jiang Xuze brought a few white flour pancakes, there was nowhere to fill him up.
"I'm not hungry."
Jiang Xuze's expression was expressionless. Although he was talking to Xue Yu, his eyes were looking at Wei Jingchen, gritting his teeth, "What were you and Mr. Wei just talking about?"
