Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After Yunling left, Yue Qi jumped down from the beam.

"Boss, why are you holding back when you have a fever?"

Lu Siheng's eyes became clear and he sat up and said, "I know what's going on. You can go back and do your work. There's no need to stay here."

"Can that girl do it?" Yue Qi was worried.

"I'm better than you, don't be an eyesore." Lu Siheng waved his hand impatiently.

"My subordinates, please retire and come back in the evening."

Before leaving, Yue Qi secretly glanced at Yunling who was preparing to boil the medicine, and saw that she was skilled in her movements and doing things in an orderly manner. He had to admit that in this regard, she was indeed better than him.

Making medicine is not difficult for Yunling. She has survived it before. These soups and medicines that are too bitter for ordinary people to swallow are commonplace for her. Everything went well in the front, but the last step stumped her. She had never made a fire!

After lighting it with a fire stick for a long time, the fire was finally lit. The thick smoke came out when she was not prepared, choking her until she coughed and shed tears. She ran outside and took a few breaths of fresh air to regain her composure. She wiped her face randomly and ran back in to continue fighting.

Lu Siheng heard her heart-rending coughing in bed. He thought about it and then put it down. He couldn't go out now. He closed his eyes, and after a while the sound died down. And it was true that he had a fever, his head felt a little dizzy, and he fell asleep hazily.

"Master Lu, get up and take some medicine."

The soft words in his ears made Lu Siheng open his heavy eyelids. The girl who caught his eyes was very embarrassed, with messy hair, and patches of black and white on her face. Only her almond-shaped eyes were as bright as before.

Seeing that he was awake, Yunling took a soft pillow from the side and put it on him, then turned around and brought the medicine bowl.

I blew on it and slowly fed him spoonful after spoonful. She was focused on giving the medicine without any distractions. Lu Siheng looked at her in a daze, unable to even taste the medicine in her mouth.

After the bowl of medicine bottomed out, Yunling raised her head and met his gaze, slightly startled, "Why are you staring at me like this? Is there something on my face?"

"Yes." Lu Siheng smiled and raised his hand to gently wipe the dust from her face.

Yunling reacted and stood up immediately, "Don't bother Mr. Lu, I'll do it myself." After saying that, she took the medicine bowl and walked out.

Returning to the dining room, she filled the basin with some water and used the water as a mirror to see her dirty face. She didn't take it to heart and took some water to wash her face.

After she finished the medicine, the porridge she cooked was still not ready, so she went over to add some firewood and went to the yard to wait. The house is not big, with only four main rooms and two side rooms. What she didn't expect was that there was not only a flourishing plum tree planted in the yard, but also many other flowers and trees, waiting to bloom in their respective seasons.

The house is quiet and quiet, a pleasant place to live. It was close to noon, and the sun was shining warmly on people.

Yunling stayed in the yard for a long time. When she felt it was almost done, she went back and filled two bowls of white porridge and brought them back to the room.

"You are injured and need to eat something light. If you want any other food, I won't cook it, so I'll give you a bowl of plain porridge, Mr. Lu."

She spoke frankly, and Lu Siheng chuckled, "I don't seem to have a choice."

"Can you get up and feed yourself?"

Lu Siheng stretched out his hand towards her, "I need your help."

Yunling went over to help him sit up, put one bowl of porridge in his hand, and went to the table next to him to eat the remaining bowl.

Lu Siheng stirred the bland white porridge and looked up at her washed face.

Just like the porridge in your hand, there is no modification at all. It is so real that people can see it at a glance and cannot ignore it.

"Don't you want to know the reason for my injuries?"

"Master Lu probably doesn't want people to know." Yunling replied without raising her head.

"Aren't you curious?" The more indifferent she became, the more Lu Siheng wanted to talk to her.

"curiosity kills the cat."

Lu Siheng was slightly startled, "What do you mean by this?"

Yunling took another bite slowly before putting down her spoon and saying sideways: "It is said that cats have nine lives, but they died of their own curiosity in the end. I only have one life, and I don't dare to be curious about things that threaten me. .”

"This statement is quite new," Lu Siheng raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, you saved me, how could I repay you with kindness and turn you into an injustice?"

Everyone has things that he doesn't want to tell others about. Even if he doesn't say it, Yunling can feel it. What he lets others see is not entirely the real him, maybe it's just an appearance.

"So I still want to thank Mr. Lu?"

"You and I don't need to be so polite." Lu Siheng took a bite of the porridge and couldn't help frowning. She was also a talent when she made a piece of plain porridge so unpalatable.

Seeing that she was eating with gusto, he couldn't help but ask: "Have you never cooked before?"

She made herself look like that after making a bowl of medicine. She must have never done such a thing, but she is a maid, how could she not even know these things?

"This is the first time in my current memory. Is it not delicious?" Yunling said and stood up, "Master Lu, please don't force it."

Lu Siheng quickly put the bowl in front of him, "When did I say it wasn't delicious?"

He scooped up a big

Spoon it into your mouth.

Yunling smiled but said nothing. Of course she knew the level of what she was doing. Seeing that he could eat, she sat back down.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Lu Siheng ate it clean in three gulps and put the bowl aside. Thinking of her answer just now, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"Why did you come to Duke Dingguo's mansion to be a servant?"

Yunling said calmly: "To survive."

This answer was beyond Lu Siheng's expectation. After thinking about it, it made sense, "The family couldn't afford food, so they sold you to the Duke's mansion?"

This is quite common. Poor families with many children often sell their girls to exchange for some money to make ends meet, and to have one less mouth to talk to at home.

Yunling shook her head, "I don't know, I don't even remember what happened before entering the mansion."

"You..." Lu Siheng was shocked, "What happened to you?"

"You said you have completely forgotten it, why are you mentioning it?" Yun Ling did not want to say more, "On the other hand, Mr. Lu, is it really true that there are no servants here, and there is no one you can trust?"

"It's not that I don't have it, but I don't want too many people to disturb me. This place is very important to me," Lu Siheng said in a low voice while looking at the plum blossoms outside the window, "I was born in this house, and it is also the place where my mother and I depended on each other. "

"Don't you live in Zhongjing Marquis?" Yunling spoke quickly and forgot that she shouldn't ask about other people's personal affairs. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"It doesn't matter, it's not something that can't be said. Everyone in the capital knows about it."

A complicated smile appeared at the corner of Lu Siheng's lips, "My mother is the outside wife, and I am the outside wife's son."

Yunling was shocked, she didn't expect that he had such a body

World. He once called for mother when he was in a coma. He must be very dependent on his mother, so why is he licking his wounds here alone?
