When Lin Ruyi heard that it was Zhou Jingyu who came, she immediately stood up. She remembered that Zhou Jingyu was injured in order to help her.

"Please come in." Chu Jieyi looked at Lin Ruyi standing up, seemed a little excited, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he knew that there was nothing between her and Zhou Jingyu, seeing her so excited for another man still made him feel a little bit apprehensive.

The servant immediately ran out to invite Zhou Jingyu.

Chu Jieyi also took Lin Ruyi to the front hall, where he will receive Zhou Jingyu after a while.

After they walked to the front hall and sat for a while, the servant brought Zhou Jingyu over.

Lin Ruyi saw that Zhou Jingyu's expression was quite normal, so the injury that day should not be serious.

"I have met the prince." Chu Jieyi got up and saluted Zhou Jingyu.

Lin Ru got up immediately after seeing the complaint. She didn't understand the ancient etiquette, so she could only bless her body slightly.

"General Chu, Mrs. Chu doesn't need to be polite." Zhou Jingyu said as he strode over.

Chu Jieyi stood up straight and helped Lin Ruyi up.

Several people went to the chairs and sat down. Chu Jieyi and Zhou Jingyu took the main seats, and Lin Ruyi sat at the bottom.

She looked at Zhou Jingyu and asked, "Young Master Zhou, no...Your Majesty, I was in a hurry that day, and I didn't look at your injury. Is your injury okay?"

She couldn't change her words for a while, and still called Zhou Jingyu the young master of Zhou out of habit.

Zhou Jingyu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. They just took me away and didn't make things difficult for me. I saw my daughter that night, and then we came to the capital together." Lin Ruyi said.

Zhou Jingyu nodded, relieved to see that Lin Ruyi was safe and sound.

He was afraid that something would happen to her, and then their master's entrustment would not be fulfilled.

Hearing that the two cared about each other, Chu Jieyi felt a little taste in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just took up the conversation and asked, "I've been hearing from my wife that the whole journey is thanks to the son's care. I originally wanted to come to the door tomorrow to thank you, but unexpectedly The son came first. I don't know if the son is here today, what's the matter?"

Zhou Jingyu quickly shook his head and said, "General Chu, you are welcome. Mrs. Chu and I are also friends. It just so happens that we are going back to Beijing, so we will go together all the way."

Chu Jieyi nodded slightly. He heard Chunlu tell how Zhou Jingyu and Lin Ruyi knew each other, so he probably knew what was going on.

Chunlu also told him everything that happened along the way, so he knew that the two of them were innocent.

But he didn't believe there was such a coincidence. He was not familiar with Zhou Jingyu, but he felt that it was definitely not simple.

"I don't have anything else to do today, just to see if Mrs. Chu and Ms. Chu are back. After all, we are also friends, and she has helped my sister, so I can feel at ease when I come to see." Zhou Jingyu continued to explain his purpose of coming.

Chu Jieyi nodded, "Mrs. Chu thanked my son for your concern."

Lin Ruyi smiled gratefully at Zhou Jingyu. Although they approached her for a purpose, she did take care of their family.

Zhou Jingyu looked at Lin Ruyi hesitantly, but finally said nothing.

Several people were polite again, Zhou Jingyu asked about the border affairs, and then left with an excuse.

Chu Jieyi personally sent Zhou Jingyu out, and the two walked side by side, but neither of them spoke.

When they were all at the door, Zhou Jingyu asked, "When does General Chu plan to leave for the border?"

"Half a month later. Is the prince busy?" Chu Jieyi asked.

Zhou Jingyu shook his head, and then said: "It's nothing, but Mrs. Chu just came to the capital, and you will leave in half a month, I'm afraid she won't get used to it."

Chu Jieyi looked at Zhou Jingyu with a frown, and said in a low tone: "Your Majesty has overstepped, and Mrs. Chu doesn't care about you so much."

Zhou Jingyu heard the dissatisfaction in Chu Jieyi's words, and quickly explained: "General Chu misunderstood, I am friends with Mrs. Ling, and there is no cross-border relationship."

"My son is worrying too much. Naturally, I believe in my wife. My wife grew up in the countryside and doesn't know much about the rules, but my son should have learned it. Please also be careful, don't talk about it, and treat you and my wife Neither is good." Chu Jieyi said in a deep voice.

Zhou Jingyu nodded awkwardly, not knowing that Lin Ruyi and Chu Jieyi had mentioned their purpose of looking for her.

But Chu Jieyi may not know Lin Ruyi's identity yet, so he can't say much.

"General Xie reminded me that I must be cautious in my words and deeds in the future. Then I will go back first and leave." Zhou Jingyu turned and left after speaking.

Chu Jieyi went back to the front hall to see if Lin Ruyi was there, and asked the maid who was serving, only to find out that she had gone to see Qiuying, and he immediately went to the courtyard where Qiuying lived.

Led by the servant girl in the mansion, Lin Ruyi came to the courtyard where Qiu Ying lived.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the yard, I saw Chunlu.

When Chunlu saw her, she immediately trotted over.

"Madam, you are back." Chunlu said excitedly.

Lin Ruyi nodded, "Well, Chu Jieyi picked me up in the morning, and just finished dealing with things, now come and see Qiuying, how is she doing?"

Chun Lu quickly said: "She is seriously injured and needs to rest in bed for half a month, and she is still resting in the room now. Madame, are you going to see Qiu Ying?"

"Well, go and have a look." Lin Ruyi nodded slightly, and walked towards the yard.

Chunlu immediately took Lin Ruyi to the house where Qiuying lived. Qiuying was lying on the bed. When she saw Lin Ruyi coming, she immediately got up and wanted to get out of bed.

But because of the seriousness of the injury, when he got up, the injury on his body was involved, and he frowned uncomfortably.

"Don't move, lie down." Lin Ruyi immediately stopped her.

Qiuying didn't try her best, and lay down obediently.

"Ma'am, you are here." Qiuying's voice was as weak as her face, and she was really hurt.

Lin Ruyi nodded, then sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the weak Qiuying.

"Have you seen the doctor?" Lin Ruyi asked.

"I've seen it. The doctor said that external injuries will heal in three to five days, but internal injuries need to be recuperated for a while." Chun Lu said beside her.

"Well, then take a good rest, and wait until the injury recovers." Lin Ruyi said.

"Thank you ma'am." Qiuying said.

"You were injured to protect me. I am the one who should say thank you." Lin Ruyi said apologetically.

"Protecting the master is what a servant girl should do. The life of a servant girl belongs to the master. Madam doesn't need to thank me." Qiu Ying said weakly.

Lin Ruyi knew that in the eyes of Qiuying and Chunlu, there was a difference between masters and servants. If the master let them die, they would die. This concept has long been ingrained.

"Well, I'm relieved to see that you're fine. Then I'll come to see you tomorrow, and you should rest well." Seeing how weak Qiuying was, Lin Ruyi couldn't bear to disturb her to rest anymore. All she had to do now was to rest.

"Mrs. Xie." Qiuying said softly.

Lin Ruyi got up and left Qiuying's room. Chunlu sent her out, just in time to see Chu Jieyi walking into the yard.
