Zhao Linglong sat still, and Su Mubai held her wrist tightly and kept coaxing her with soft words.

In the end, Zhao Linglong was defeated and let him drag her to lie on the bed.

As soon as Zhao Linglong lay down, Su Mubai came up to her, scaring the woman in his arms so much that she trembled for no reason.

"Don't be afraid, I won't touch you."

"Let me hug you. I can feel more at ease holding you."

Zhao Linglong didn't say anything or struggle, and let him hold her.

At some point, the sound of a man's even breathing came from behind her. This time, Zhao Linglong relaxed her body, biting her fingers and trying hard to suppress her crying.

She and he finally slept in the same bed. If it had been in the past, she would have been so happy that she would not have been able to sleep.

But tonight she couldn't sleep because she felt uncomfortable. After all, she and he were not destined to be together.

Three days later, all the poisonous sores on Su Mubai's body healed, and he looked refreshed.

"Linglong, I'm finally well. Thank you for your hard work these days." Su Mubai hugged her excitedly.

Zhao Linglong said calmly: "You should thank Lin Shuangshuang. It was her superb medical skills that saved you."

"She is your savior. Any slave can do what I do."

She obviously didn't care anymore, but she still couldn't keep calm and wanted to hurt him with words.

In fact, it also hurts myself and reminds myself not to be deceived by his sweet words these days.

When Su Mubai heard this, he knew that she was using the words he had said before to criticize him.

But he was not angry, instead he patiently pleaded guilty and begged for mercy: "Good Linglong, please don't be angry."

"I was the one who made the mistake that day, and I regretted it the moment I said it."

"I really wanted to marry you, so I was so angry when I was rejected."

"I really know I was wrong, and you have the right to blame me, but just don't get angry with yourself."

"Anger is bad for your health. If you get angry, I'll feel bad."

Zhao Linglong felt disgusted and greasy when she heard his words.

"I'll go and notify someone to come in."

Zhao Linglong pushed him away, walked to the courtyard wall and shook the rope, and Dong'er quickly stuck his head out.

Dong'er asked, "Have you used up all the medicine?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll go inform the lady right away."

Soon, there was a knock on the door and Zhao Linglong hurried to open it.

There were three people standing at the door, Lin Shuangshuang, Steward Su and Chu Yao.

Chu Yao asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay?"

Zhao Linglong felt a lump in her throat when she saw Chu Yao's nervous and worried expression. She almost cried.

She shook her head quickly, then lowered her head and tried to hold back the tears.

But the more she was like this, the more distressed Chu Yao felt. It had only been ten days and the young lady had become so haggard and weak that she seemed like a gust of wind could blow her down.

"Miss, why are you..."

Steward Su interrupted Chu Yao hastily: "Miss, how is the young master?"

"It should be fine."

"Mrs. Lin, please come in and help my young master diagnose the problem quickly." Butler Su left Zhao Linglong behind and hurriedly invited Lin Shuangshuang in.

Lin Shuangshuang felt a little reluctant when she saw Zhao Linglong's haggard appearance.

I hope she can get what she wants after this time. Love is such a harmful thing.

"Miss, you look scary. Let Lin take a look at you later."

"Why do you have so many wounds on your hands?"

Zhao Linglong finally couldn't hold back her tears. She hugged Chu Yao, not saying a word, just crying silently.

Chu Yao felt so heartbroken seeing her heartbroken look that she almost died. When had her princess ever suffered such a great injustice?

I have never seen such sadness in my wife's life after being divorced before. What on earth did she go through in this small courtyard during these ten days?

"Miss, what happened?"

"Did Su Mubai bully you?"

Zhao Linglong didn't say anything, and it took her a while to calm down.

"I am fine."

"Go pack your things, we'll leave soon."

"Leave?" Chu Yao was stunned and even thought she had heard it wrong.

Why would the princess take the initiative to leave?

Wouldn’t she rather die in front of Su Mubai?

Or leave with Su Mubai?

But doesn’t Su Mubai still have to stay in the academy to study and wait for the imperial examination in autumn?

"Miss, where are we going?"

Zhao Linglong said indifferently: "It doesn't matter where we go, as long as we can get away from him."

This time, Chu Yao finally understood that the young lady had completely given up and would no longer bother Su Mubai.

But looking at her expression, has she really let go of that person completely?

If you really let it go, you won’t be so sad, right?

Chu Yao looked at Zhao Linglong's haggard appearance and advised distressedly: "Miss, you should take a rest for two days."

"You look really bad. You must have traveled so hard. I'm worried that you can't handle it."

"Once you recover, you can go wherever you want."

As Chu Yao was trying to persuade them, Lin Shuangshuang and Su Mubai came out together, keeping a distance from each other.

After learning that he had recovered, Su Mubai hurried out to tell Zhao Linglong the good news.

Because Zhao Linglong hadn't gone in yet, he felt a little nervous.

"Linglong, my body is healed."

"I specifically asked Shuang'er to diagnose you as well. Your complexion has been getting worse over the past two days."

Zhao Linglong shook her head: "As long as you are okay, I don't need to bother others."

"Chu Yao, help me back to the house."

Chu Yao helped Zhao Linglong walk into the house. Lin Shuangshuang looked at this and that, with a look of excitement on her face.

what happened?

Why did these two people's attitudes change 180 degrees?

Could it be that Zhao Linglong is still playing hard to get?

But looking at her attitude just now, it didn't seem like she was acting. It seemed like she was really discouraged?

While Lin Shuangshuang was still confused and watching the show, something suddenly happened on Zhao Linglong's side.

Before she even walked into the house, her body went limp and she fainted in Chu Yao's arms.

"Miss...Miss, wake up."

Lin Shuangshuang and Su Mubai heard Chu Yao's shout and ran over together.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the unconscious person and said to Chu Yao in a serious tone: "Put him on the bed first."

Lin Shuangshuang followed closely behind. She first took Zhao Linglong's pulse, then touched her forehead and turned over her eyelids.

"what happened?"

"What happened to her? Why did she suddenly faint?" Su Mubai looked worried.

After a checkup, Lin Shuangshuang said, "My wife is tired. She has been holding on for the past few days."

"Now the taut string can no longer be stretched, and the person collapses."

"She needs to rest for a few days. I'll prescribe some medicine to nourish her spirit. Maybe she'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"But someone needs to stay by her bedside, and she can't have a fever. If she does, it will be troublesome."

Su Mubai asked nervously, "What will happen if I have a fever?"

"If the high fever does not subside, it will be life-threatening."

Su Mubai's face turned pale and he took a step back in disbelief: "How could it be so serious?"

"She was clearly... fine just now, how could she faint and be in danger of her life?"
