Gu Ruanruan, after everyone left, returned to his room and sat on the bed in silence.

Licorice felt uneasy and wanted to go over and say something to Gu Ruanruan, but she didn't know how to say it.

Gu Ruanruan achieved his goal today, but he actually felt very tired.

There was some excitement, but she acted in such a big drama, crying, shouting, and yelling, and her voice became hoarse.

After a while, she told Orange in a hoarse voice: "Go and get me some water."

Orange quickly poured a pot of warm water over.

"Auntie, please drink slowly."

"Don't call me aunt anymore." Gu Ruanruan said calmly.

Licorice was stunned, "Ah...?"

Gu Ruanruan thought for a while and then ordered: "You can just call me miss just like you used to in the boudoir. However, when the second master is here, it is normal for you to call me by mistake once or twice."

As a servant, Licorice can certainly understand the twists and turns.

Normally calling her "Miss" is Gu Ruanruan's way of expressing his attitude;

Occasionally calling her wrong once or twice in front of Xiao Ruoyun was a reminder of the relationship between the two.

Licorice lowered her eyes.

Gu Ruanruan's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated.

"By the way, you can give me food as normal these days. Also, bring me the plaster that the second prince sent me."

"Auntie... No, miss, do you want to start treating the wounds on your face?"

Gu Ruanruan raised his hand and touched it lightly, frowning in pain.

"It's time to treat it. Too much is not enough. It doesn't matter if it makes him feel guilty all the time. This guilt needs to be mentioned from time to time to keep it strong."

Licorice didn't dare to have any other opinions. She lowered her eyebrows and wiped the wounds on Gu Ruanruan's face.

When it reached his neck, Gu Ruanruan suddenly raised his hand to block it.

"Miss, you need to apply medicine! Otherwise, what will happen if you leave scars?"

"You can go away the one on your face, but the one on your neck... I'll teach him a lesson. It's not a good idea to be perfect. It's better not to be perfect in the future."

Licorice couldn't understand, but still obediently took gauze and wrapped it around the wound on her neck.

She had suffered a lot these days, and her neck was empty. A piece of gauze was wrapped around her neck, which made her neck look white and slender. The blood stains faintly revealed, giving people a different kind of beauty.

Licorice was fascinated and murmured: "Miss is getting more and more beautiful..."

Gu Ruanruan suddenly burst into laughter: "Really? Have you ever heard a story?"

"what?"

“A woman asks a man, when do I look my best?”

"Men say you look best when you don't love me."

Of course this is not a story, it is just something Gu Ruanruan casually chatted with his friends before he came to this world.

Speaking of men, they are the most inexplicable creatures in the world. They always don’t know how to cherish, and what they don’t get is always the best.

At that time, she was still young and still believed in love, so she found ten thousand reasons to refute it.

But now, she realizes that she used to be really good and ridiculous.

Recalling the past, it felt like it was yesterday, but the fact was that she was trapped in this cannibalistic world and could never go back.

Gu Ruanruan lowered his eyes again and was lost in thought, and Licorice slowly withdrew.

After a while, there was a noise outside.

Licorice carefully looked at Gu Ruanruan's expression and whispered: "Miss, the yard next door has been bought by someone, it's the second master."

Gu Ruanruan was not surprised.

When she first came out, there was actually a place more suitable for living. She also saw that this place was not only secluded, but also that the two connected courtyards were uninhabited.

What Licorice didn't even know was that when he bought this yard, Gu Ruanruan had spent a sum of money in advance to let him keep the yard next door for a period of time.

Just to leave it to Xiao Ruoyun!

There was a lot of movement nearby, and it didn't stop until it was almost dark.

Licorice has been paying attention to the movements over there, "Miss, the second master has settled down next door, and the old housekeeper has also left."

"Alarmed the old housekeeper? It seems that the Marquis and Madam also know about it. What a pity..."

Pity.

I thought that the play she performed today would create some resentment between the two brothers. It would be best if Gu Baiyu could stop Xiao Ruoyun today.

It's a pity that Gu Baiyu didn't.

It seemed that Gu Baiyu also knew what he was thinking.

Although he felt it was a pity, Gu Ruanruan was not displeased.

Everything went well today.

Next, he must use this time spent with Xiao Ruoyun day and night to make Xiao Ruoyun completely inseparable from him.

Wait until the day he and Xiao Ruoyun return to the Hou Mansion...

Gu Ruanruan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the ambition in his eyes could not be concealed.

Yes.

She never thought about leaving the Hou Mansion.

Everything now is just a stopgap measure. One day, she will go back and make those who humiliate her today often feel the taste of failure!

"Miss, let's take a rest, too?" Licorice whispered.

"No, wait a minute."

wait? What are you waiting for?

Licorice didn't dare to ask.

But soon she knew what Gu Ruanruan was waiting for.

Less than half an hour later, the smell of food wafted from next door, and then someone knocked on the door in the small courtyard.

The person coming is Xiao Ruoyun.

"Ruan Ruan, have you rested?"

Licorice shook his head: "Not yet."

Xiao Ruoyun's face flashed with surprise, and then worry: "Have you had dinner?"

Licorice followed Ruan Ruan's instructions and hesitantly said that he had eaten it.

However, Xiao Ruoyun couldn't be deceived at all: "What did you give her to eat?"

It was rare for him to be so gorgeous. Licorice was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and cried, "But Miss, she can't eat it! She hasn't been able to sleep well or eat well for several days. If this continues, how will her body be able to bear it?"

"But, the lady won't let me let you in..."

Having said that, the door was opened wide, and Xiao Ruoyun had already hurried in, and ordered Xunfu behind him: "Go make something light and easy to digest and bring it over!"

Then he explained to the stunned Licorice: "I'm going to see her. If she blames you, just say I forced her way in!"

Then he ran straight into the house.

When he entered, he saw Gu Ruanruan lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his lips pale, as if he was asleep.

Xiao Ruoyun slowed down and couldn't help but whisper: "Ruan Ruan..."

Gu Ruanruan seemed to be sleeping uneasily, and her brows were furrowed tightly when she fell asleep. When she heard Xiao Ruoyun's voice, her body trembled, as if she had been dropped, and she opened her mouth and whispered something.

Xiao Ruoyun couldn't hear clearly. When he got closer, he heard that Gu Ruanruan was sobbing quietly.

"Don't...don't..."

At this moment, endless regret and pity filled Xiao Ruoyun's heart.

"Don't be afraid, Ruan Ruan, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you again, never again..."

Gu Ruanruan had already struggled to wake up. The moment he saw Xiao Ruoyun, he screamed and shrank to the foot of the bed: "Don't come over here!"

"Ruan Ruan, calm down. You were just dreaming. I'm here to see you. Brother Ruoyun is here to see you!"

She seemed unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. It took her a while to realize that she was not dreaming.

"What else are you doing here?"

"Ruan Ruan, let me come to see you. Now I live next door to you. I won't go anywhere. I will stay here to guard you until you can forgive me, okay?"

"No, I don't want to see you."

"Ruan Ruan, even if you don't want to forgive me, you still have to take care of your own body. Look how thin you have become? I've sent people to prepare food. Can I have something to eat with you later?" "

Gu Ruanruan smiled sarcastically: "Why, you also imitate the Marquis and do all these fancy things to make people happy?"

Xiao Ruoyun was stunned, "Why did you mention eldest brother?"

Gu Ruanruan just wanted to test something, so he said: "This morning, Licorice went out to buy vegetables. I heard someone saying that Madam wanted to eat donkey meat sesame cakes early in the morning, so Mr. Hou beat up the boss who only came out at night. I picked it up early in the morning and made sesame cakes. I was afraid of the cold, so I still used Qinggong, and it spread all over the place."

Xiao Ruoyun didn't know why Gu Ruanruan suddenly mentioned this, and explained: "That's because my sister-in-law has been feeling unwell these past few days and has a poor appetite. It's normal for her to accommodate her. Didn't you see today that my sister-in-law has been feeling uncomfortable with her stomach and intestines these past few days."

Gu Ruanruan glanced at Xiao Ruoyun: "Are you sure?"

Xiao Ruoyun didn't know why: "What's so uncertain about this?"

Gu Ruanruan said meaningfully: "Is it because of gastrointestinal discomfort? I thought there was going to be a happy event in the Hou Mansion. My wife is pregnant."
