Shen Ning was so ill that he was unconscious, and there were many outsiders at home, so Liuying and the others didn't dare to relax at all.

Mo Lin was personally guarding outside, while several maids in the house took turns to keep watch.

Liuying also called everyone in the yard to get up and give them a lecture: "Now is an extraordinary period, and the young lady has fallen ill again. I hope you will remember clearly that the eldest young lady is the only master of this family. If the eldest young lady is well, you will have a good life. Everyone should work hard these days, cheer up, be alert to outsiders, and don't give any evil people a chance to take advantage of you. If you can get through this crisis safely, everyone's monthly salary will be doubled. If there is any mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded: "Understood."

Half of the Shen family's slaves had indentures, and the other half were long-term laborers who had signed contracts. All these contracts were in the hands of the eldest daughter.

Of course, the contract was one reason, and another reason was that the eldest daughter was kind, clear about punishment and good deeds, and paid a lot of money. Compared to other harsh and complicated families, they were really lucky to be able to work for the Shen family.

The eldest lady and the other branches of the Shen family are enemies. Now that the eldest lady is ill, they are afraid that those people will do something bad to her, so it is their duty to protect her. Besides, the monthly salary has been doubled, so who would go against money?

Shen Xia and his wife lived in the second house, while Shen Sui and the other two lived in the side room in the front yard of the main house, separated from where Shen Ning lived by a small garden.

Looking at those people patrolling back and forth, each one of them was vigilant and alert, Shen Sui was very angry.

"Is she protecting herself from thieves?"

"Isn't it just a cold? Don't you have to be so nervous? We are all relatives. Can I eat her?"

Gao Junyu frowned and thought: "She is indeed a little too cautious, but Zhao said such words without thinking, so it's good for her to be on guard."

Shen Sui sneered, "Zhao? She doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, what can she do to Shen Ning? She can only yell beside the coffin and ask the ghost for some courage."

Gao Junyu: "Stay away from her in the future."

Shen Sui: "I don't want to bother with her."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again: "Shen Ning is ill. It looks like he won't get better in a day or two. I have to take care of this family."

Gao Junyu knew his wife's character well, and quickly said, "You should ask Shen Ning, don't offend her."

Shen Sui was so angry that she slammed the table: "I am afraid of her? I am her aunt, she is sick and I want to help her, am I wrong? If I were her, someone would give her a good beating. She is so strong and intolerant, which man would dare to marry her?"

This is really going too far.

Gao Junyu: "Alright, alright, we have to go to the vigil later, stop making noise."

-----

A dozen people were guarding the mourning hall in the front yard. Although they were afraid, they could not resist the overwhelming sleepiness.

A black figure climbed over the side wall without alarming anyone.

Arriving at Qiutang Pavilion, he appeared and walked under the lights.

Mo Lin, who was guarding the door with a knife in his hand, suddenly opened his eyes, saw who was coming, and stood up.

Qin Zhuo walked in without looking around, and soon Liuying came out.

Mo Lin frowned: "Aren't you watching from inside?"

Liuying: "Master Qin asked me to come out."

You come out when someone asks you to? Who is your master?

Mo Lin felt that it was inappropriate for Liuying to let Qin Zhuo go in casually, but he was the queen's brother and the young lady's savior. Could he really jump out and criticize him?

Qin Zhuo came to the bedside, looked at Shen Ning's red face, and couldn't help pinching it.

Shen Ning lay there obediently, but her brows were furrowed in pain. She felt someone touching her, and turned her head to avoid it. Her eyelashes, as long as butterfly wings, trembled slightly, but she couldn't wake up.

"It's already this time, why can't you be a little bit better?"

He untied his cloak, walked to the bed and sat down, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, opened it and took out a peanut-sized pill.

He pried open her mouth and put the medicine in, but as soon as he withdrew his hand, she frowned and spat out the pill.

Qin Zhuo was quick to feed the medicine back to her. Seeing that she seemed to still want to vomit, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her to stop her from vomiting.

Bitterness suddenly spread in his mouth, and he held her head tightly with both hands, deepening the kiss.

Shen Ning is sick, not dead.

Her head was dizzy, but the unbearable bitterness and strange feeling forced her to open her eyes.

The first thing you see is a pair of closed eyes, and the trembling eyelashes reveal the owner's inner unrest.

She didn't panic, but realized a little later that this person was Qin Zhuo, and he was still biting her! ?

She's sick! ! A beast?

Shen Ning reached out to pat him, his strength was negligible, but it still caught his attention.

Finally, he slowly stopped his movements, but did not leave. His hot breath from the tip of his nose entangled with hers, and the corners of his lips were still touching hers in an ambiguous way.

As if afraid of scaring him, she opened her eyes after a while. Even so, the lust in her eyes was so surging that it made people jump with fear.

Shen Ning was stunned and forgot to speak for a long time, but soon she came back to her senses because of the bitter taste in her mouth.

She turned her head away from his kiss: "What did you feed me?"

His voice was slightly hoarse, but he didn't know if it was because of the medicine, but his originally blocked throat didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Qin Zhuo looked down at her, his eyes burning as if he wanted to eat someone. Hearing this, he kissed her ear: "Poison."

Shen Ning: ...childish!

Although she didn't say it, her eyes showed it clearly. Qin Zhuo laughed angrily and lowered his head to bite her ear.

"I came here with good intentions to deliver medicine, but you don't even have a good face?"

The ear hurt slightly, but then it was followed by a tingling numbness. Shen Ning couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't, don't do this... It's so uncomfortable..."

It was extremely uncomfortable but there was no escape. The blood rushed to my body and tears welled up in my eyes.

But the beast Qin Zhuo didn't think he had gone too far at all and only wanted to bully her even more.

With those sparkling eyes and red face, she was so easy to bully. Even if he glared at her fiercely, it seemed to have no killing power. It was like a hook that wanted to hook his heart away.

Shen Ning saw his eyes clearly: "......"

"You...don't go too far!!"

"I'm still sick."

Is it necessary to be so impatient? She is not some kind of beauty, is it necessary to be so eager for her?

Qin Zhuo used practical actions to tell her that it was necessary.

But he only pecked her twice before letting her go, and considerately poured her a glass of warm water: "Don't choke."

"Cough cough cough!" I choked.

Qin Zhuo patted her back gently with a helpless look on his face, then took her into his arms.

Shen Ning struggled but failed, and finally gave up. This man was too thick-skinned and strong, and she couldn't beat him.

Besides, since we’ve already kissed, a hug won’t be a big deal.
