Maybe it was because the wind was too strong today. Shen Ning felt a little uncomfortable after returning home. He felt groggy and wanted to lie down on the bed to rest for a while, but he soon started to feel cold.

Liuying noticed something was wrong with her and discovered that she had a fever when she touched her.

Liuying thought about what had just happened and sighed inwardly. She must have felt bad when the eldest lady said such cruel words, otherwise how could she have caught a cold out of nowhere.

"Go and get Doctor Chen."

Mo Lin went to ask someone to come back. Doctor Chen felt her pulse and said, "Young lady is suffering from insufficient heart strength, deficiency of qi and blood, and heat and cold. She will be fine after taking medicine, but she is too weak. She still needs to rest. The weather has been getting colder recently. Don't let her be exposed to too much snow and wind."

Liuying nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I will definitely take good care of her. Thank you, doctor."

Shen Ning's consciousness was in a daze. She only knew that Liuying wiped her face and hands, and then she drank the hard-to-swallow medicine, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't have any dreams, but her sleep was restless. She didn't know how long it had been before she slowly woke up. She wasn't very clear-headed, but she was very thirsty.

"Water, Firefly, pour me a glass of water... Firefly..."

Usually when Shen Ning falls ill, Liuying and the others will arrange someone to guard her on the couch outside, paying close attention to Shen Ning's movements and ready to come in as soon as she calls.

She noticed someone moving, and soon she was helped up, with a cup of warm water at her lips.

She quickly took two sips to ease the discomfort in her throat and slowly came to her senses. Then she realized that there was something wrong with the hands holding the cup in front of her.

The palm is broad, the knuckles are long and the joints are distinct; this is a man's hand, and the black material on the wrist is jacquard brocade.

There is a man in her room, and he is hugging her now!!!

Shen Ning was so frightened that her body froze, but the other party just took the cup away and put her back on the bed.

Shen Ning finally saw his face clearly, and his guard dropped, but he was still frightened and jumped up from the bed: "Why is Mr. Qin here?"

This person was none other than Qin Zhuo, dressed as a warrior in a brocade robe with tight sleeves, and appeared in her boudoir in the middle of the night?

Qin Zhuo: "Just passing by."

Passing by her boudoir?

He is truly a devil who does things without restraint.

Qin Zhuo stared at her expression and flicked his finger on her forehead: "Are you cursing me in your heart?"

Shen Ning argued: "I didn't."

Qin Zhuo: "I can read minds."

Shen Ning: “?”

Qin Zhuo laughed and leaned against the bedpost: "He was so majestic when he went out to quarrel with others, why did he collapse when he came back? So fragile."

Shen Ning: "You know everything."

She rubbed her swollen eyebrows and said, "Do you have something to ask me? Can you step aside for a moment? I'll get up and clean up."

She was meeting a strange man in her bed with her clothes in disarray and her hair disheveled, which was simply challenging her sense of shame.

Qin Zhuo seemed to have just noticed her clothes. Although she had pulled the quilt to cover her, her clothes were slightly open, and the edge of her white clothes could be vaguely seen. Her neck was suddenly white, and her collarbone was clearly visible.

A few strands of messy hair fell on the snow-white skin, all the way down to the ravines that aroused endless reverie.

Qin Zhuo felt his eyes burned and turned away unnaturally: "I already said I was just passing by, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he strode towards the guard and disappeared in front of the door like a gust of wind.

Shen Ning's first reaction was: why didn't her father let her learn martial arts when she was a child? She also wanted this kind of kung fu that allowed her to appear and disappear without a trace.

Liuying came in hurriedly from outside, her face still in shock: "Miss, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"

"That's Mr. Qin, right? What does he want to do with Miss?"

Shen Ning: "You were outside just now?"

Liuying pointed at the door, then at herself, her eyes full of shock: "He suddenly knocked on the door, and I thought someone else had something to do, but I couldn't move when I opened the door. But as soon as he left, I could move."

It was like seeing a ghost.

Shen Ning also felt like she had seen a ghost. What was Qin Zhuo doing here in the middle of the night and helping her get up to drink water? This behavior was really too ambiguous.

Even though he didn't do anything excessive and he saved her life, this wasn't right.

Shen Ning was thinking as he lay down on the bed, and then he suddenly jumped up from the bed.

No, Qin Zhuo would not come to see her for no reason.

She quickly turned over in bed, but found nothing wrong. She paused, then thought of something, quickly put on her shoes and went downstairs to rummage through the box.

The boxes of decorations were all similar. Shen Ning opened them one by one, but couldn't find the box containing the token.

Qin Zhuo took it away?

Shen Ning roughly remembered where she put it, but when she put it there, even Liuying and the others didn't know. How did Qin Zhuo find it accurately?

Thinking hard.

At this moment, I couldn't care less about any ambiguity. I was just glad that Qin Zhuo took the things away.

There were footsteps outside. It was Liuying calling Mo Lin to bring people to keep watch. Shen Ning felt that Qin Zhuo would definitely not come again, and Qin Zhuo would not hurt her, but it was good to keep watch.

I lay back on the bed. I should have been unable to sleep, but I ended up resolving a worry and fell asleep quickly.

On the other side, Qin Zhuo's figure appeared on the Moon-Watching Tower by the river in the city.

Wangyue Tower is the number one restaurant in the capital. It was not originally called this name. It was named because many years ago a scholar climbed up the mountain here while drunk and wrote a poem about gazing at the moon expressing his homesickness. Not long after that, the scholar passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, becoming an instant success.

The restaurant owner immediately took advantage of this opportunity and changed the name of the restaurant. Because of this widely circulated story, students coming to the capital to take the imperial examinations would come here to drink, appreciate the moon, and experience the feelings of the top scholar, and by the way, ask for the good fortune of becoming the top scholar.

There were countless diners downstairs, and a group of literati gathered here. After drinking a few bottles of white wine, they spoke freely and unrestrainedly.

Qin Zhuo came to the window carrying a pot of wine, leaning against it, looking relaxed and unrestrained.

The downstairs was brightly lit and bustling with activity. There was also light behind him. There was a table filled with delicious food and wine, and guests were sitting at the table, but they all sat upright, not daring to move, as if they were facing a great enemy.

My eyes unconsciously turned to look at the man leaning against the window, guessing his intentions.

They all had a feud with Qin Zhuo five years ago. They had beaten Qin Zhuo, and then were severely beaten by Qin Zhuo. When they thought of the time when they were beaten, they still felt a dull pain in their bones.

What does Qin Zhuo mean by inviting them to dinner?

Make peace and forget all grudges with a smile?

What a joke, there is absolutely no way they can get along with Qin Zhuo in a friendly manner, even if they are threatened to have this meal.

The next moment, Qin Zhuo, who had been in a casual posture, suddenly stood up straight, then raised his hand and waved it, as if he was throwing the wine jug in his hand away.

"what!"

"Pfft..."

"Someone fell into the water, hurry up and save him."

The underground suddenly became chaotic and the noise became even louder.

Everyone at the table: “…”
