When Tantai Heqing heard Xiaoqiu's voice, she felt like a shy little lady for some reason, burying her head firmly in Xie Fu's back.
Before Xiaoqiu asked, Xie Fu said directly: "Sister Xiaoqiu, the lady was bitten by a poisonous snake."
Xiaoqiu cried out: "Ah! Miss was bitten by a poisonous snake! Quick, quick, quick..." She was immediately caught off guard in a panic.
Tantai Heqing said: "Xiaoqiu, your girl's throat is so loud, please keep your voice down."
Xiaoqiu is her personal maid, so it doesn't matter if she sees her. She doesn't want to invite a lot of servants to watch in a grand manner.
Xiaoqiu has taken care of Tantai Heqing for so many years, and immediately understood that the young lady did not want to make any announcement. Then seeing that the young lady would be carried by Xie Fu, it would be inappropriate, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, I will carry you back."
Then he yelled at Xie Fu: "Xie Fu, why don't you put down the young lady quickly!"
Even though Xiaoqiu was blaming Xie Fu, she was actually trying to save face for Tantai Heqing.
As long as the young lady can save her face, the young lady won't be too resentful.
"Very good!"
Xie Fu quickly put down Tantai Heqing.
Very good? Tantai Heqing glanced at Fu Xie, and for some reason she felt resentful in her heart. It was you who wanted to carry me just now, but now you are eager to throw me away, like a dress that has been splashed with ink, can it be washed again?
Tantai He lay on Xiao Qiu's back affectionately and generously. The familiar smell of Xiao Qiu made her calm down all of a sudden.
She is as calm as her unruffled, boring life, without tension, anxiety, shyness or embarrassment...
Xie Fu held a lamp to illuminate the road and said: "I have briefly treated the wound for the young lady. After returning, quickly rinse the wound with salt water and vinegar..."
"By the way, is there any snake medicine in the house?"
Xiaoqiu responded: "Yes, yes, look, I was so panicked that I even forgot about the snake medicine in my house."
At this time of summer, snakes and insects are infested, and large households like Tantai Mansion usually have snake medicine on hand.
Xie Fu said: "That's great. After washing the wound and applying snake medicine to the lady, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"But just to be cautious, it's better to ask the doctor to come and take a look."
"Um."
Tantai Heqing didn't care at all what the two were talking about. She was still recalling the strange feeling of lying on Xie Fu's back just now. Although she didn't want to admit it, she did miss that feeling, like a ray of living water injected into her. A pool of stagnant water in her heart made her lifeless heart feel a little alive.
Tantai Heqing looked towards Xie Fu, and the light reflected his face. Now she could finally see his sweaty face clearly, and she felt that he looked handsome and elegant, but he was not bored.
The more she looked at this face, the more she couldn't look away, which made her heart pound like a deer.
Is this what it feels like to fall in love with someone?
It turns out that she is also an amorous girl.
Could he be the man in the dream who drew his eyebrows for her and spoke of tender pity and love to her?
Will he be the gentleman who opens his arms and protects himself powerfully?
Will he be the husband who can let him act like a spoiled child to his heart's content without her having to work hard on her own?
Tantai Heqing looked at Xie Fu with hope.
Xie Fu happened to notice Tantai Heqing looking towards him and asked with concern: "Miss, are you feeling okay?"
Miss!
These two words shocked Tantai Heqing's heart. She suddenly remembered his identity. He was just a pretty boy she raised. To put it bluntly, he was no different from a beast raised by her.
He has no talent, no education, no status, he is just handsome, and none of the pretty boys he raises is not handsome.
He would actually be tempted by the pretty boy he kept.
This is like eating a fly, but it feels delicious.
Tantai Heqing was suddenly surrounded by fear and resistance.
Her reserve, pride, and self-esteem were completely trampled and trampled away by this moment of excitement.
Even she felt it was a shame.
Tantai Heqing's heart was messy and confused. She felt that she was no longer the proud and confident Tantai Heqing. She had become weak, or she was too eager to be loved.
Tantai Heqing gave Xie Fu a cold look. Even if he longed to be loved, he was definitely not a pretty boy like you.
A man who is willing to be supported by others!
A pretty boy who depends on women for food and clothing!
Her proud soul would never allow herself to get lost in this absurd emotion.
Looking towards Xie Fu again, Tantai Heqing's eyes were filled with contempt and contempt.
Tantai Heqing was carried into her bedroom by Xiaoqiu, and Xie Fu stopped at the door.
Soon the maid from the inner courtyard brought vinegar and salt to wash the wounds on Tantai Heqing's ankles.
Immediately afterwards, another maid brought snake medicine and applied it on Tantai Heqing's wounds.
Then her husband arrived and after confirming that Tantai Heqing was fine, he prescribed a detoxification prescription for Tantai Heqing.
More than an hour passed until the doctor left.
Tantai Heqing was lying on the bed, clenching her fists tightly, even though she was inhaling snake venom, he actually hugged her and put his hand on that part of her body.
I haven't even had my hands touched by a man, and they really treat me as Mrs. Xiaohe!
destroy!
I even told you to stop hugging me, you asked for it!
At this time, Tantai Heqing discovered a sparse and blurry figure outside the window paper.
He's always there! Not leaving yet?
Thinking of what happened on his back just now, her clenched pink fists slowly loosened.
Forget it, he is trying to save me this time. I can't be too inhumane. There are plenty of opportunities to kill him.
After all...she didn't even know what to say.
"Xiaoqiu, tell him it's okay and go back."
Xiaoqiu came back to her senses and turned around to look, only to realize that Xie Fu had been staying outside the house.
Xiaoqiu walked quickly to the door and said to Xie Fu: "What are you still doing here? Isn't it bad enough for you to harm the young lady?"
Xiaoqiu deliberately told the young lady. After all, there is no guarantee that the young lady will secretly take revenge on what happened today.
Xie Fu smiled and did not explain, "Miss, the situation is still stable."
"Let me tell you, if there is even the slightest mistake, Miss, even your ten lives won't be enough..."
Tantai Heqing in the room heard Xiaoqiu scolding Fu Xie and said loudly: "Xiaoqiu, let him go back."
"Go back quickly!"
Before Xie Fu left, Xiaoqiu lowered his voice and said: "Xie Fu, don't talk nonsense about today's affairs. The lady is very concerned about face."
Xie Fu smiled and nodded to show that he understood.
…
Early the next morning, Tantai Heqing woke up early as usual.
As soon as my bare feet hit the ground, there was a dull pain in the wound. When I lowered my head, I saw that my ankle was slightly swollen.
The doctor had warned me before leaving last night that the wound would be swollen in the next few days because of the poisonous snake. As long as you take the medicine on time and pay more attention, it will return to normal in a few days.
Staring at the wound, Tantai He couldn't help but think about the scene where the pretty boy sucked out the poisonous blood for him last night.
