Du Ran also woke up slowly, she felt pain all over her body.

"Don't move! You have a broken bone, you need to lie down and rest!" Liu Xihua saw that she was trying to prop herself up and quickly pressed her down on the bed: "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, boss, you better lie down!"

Du Ran was stunned. How did she break her bones? It seemed... She remembered that she was going to find Mu Zhou, but Mu Zhou woke up and threw her over his shoulder. Then she didn't know anything about it anymore. It was probably this over-the-shoulder throw that caused her to break her bones, but she was not angry at all. She was even glad that this over-the-shoulder throw happened at the right time.

"Where's Mu Zhou?"

"He...he will be here soon."

"Did he go to find Li Quan?"

Liu Xihua nodded: "Boss, don't worry, he said he would take care of you, after all, he broke your bone."

"Of course he has to take responsibility!" Du Ran said seriously: "I'm weak. Others may need a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but I may need twice that."

"Ah? Boss, you're not in weak health. Do you want me to prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate?" Liu Xihua pretended to take her pulse, but was rejected by Du Ran.

"I have no idea whether I am weak or not! If I say I am weak, then I am weak, and you have to say I am weak too!" Du Ran said viciously, scaring Liu Xihua so much that he nodded repeatedly.

When Mu Zhou came back, before he could say anything, Liu Xihua rushed over and said earnestly: "I'm afraid the shopkeeper is not going to make it. She is too weak. Unlike ordinary people, this fracture has caused her to suffer an injury that her life cannot bear. You should take good care of her!"

Mu Zhou was shocked. Why is she gone? Isn't it a fracture? He came to Du Ran nervously and saw that she looked normal except that her face was slightly pale.

"Du Ran, how do you feel?" Mu Zhou patted Du Ran's cheek worriedly.

Du Ran cursed Liu Xihua in his heart, saying she couldn't even speak. What did she mean by she was dying? That was just being weak!

"I'm fine, I just feel weak all over. Sometimes I'm hot, sometimes I'm cold, I feel dizzy and want to vomit, and my ribs hurt so much that I want to die." Du Ran said weakly.

"Is it so serious? Liu Xihua, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take a look at her and prescribe some medicine!" Mu Zhou yelled at Liu Xihua.

Liu Xihua wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was he always the one who got hurt?

"No, I just drank the medicine." Du Ran held Mu Zhou's arm and continued to speak breathlessly: "There are some things I want to talk to you alone. Please ask Doctor Liu to leave first."

When Liu Xihua heard this, he ran out without waiting for Mu Zhou to convey it, and considerately closed the door for the two of them.

"Du Ran, don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for what I did to you!"

"Since you said so, it's easy. Marry me then!"

"Well...what?!" Mu Zhou stood up in shock: "Du Ran, you are confused because of the fever. I'd better ask Liu Xihua to prescribe some medicine for you!"

"See, men's words are full of lies. One second he swore to be responsible for me, and the next second he said I was confused. Yes, I was confused, why didn't I burn to death?!" Du Ran had a lost smile on his face, and there was a kind of sad beauty of being heartbroken by the world.

Mu Zhou stammered and explained: "That... that's not what I meant. My responsibility is that I will definitely take care of you until you recover, but you suddenly said you want to marry me... this is a bit beyond my scope of responsibility..."

"I don't want to spend my whole life with you, nor do I want you to marry me in a grand ceremony. It's just that during the time I'm injured, we can be married in name only, so that others won't think too much if you take care of me. Also, I can write you an agreement. When I recover, we can divorce. Or, if you or I meet true love again during this period, our marriage won't count! In the end, it's just a fake marriage. I'll give you a legitimate identity to take care of me."

Mu Zhou listened with a frown, still expressing his disapproval: "I broke your bones and it's only natural for me to take care of you. If anyone dares to gossip about me behind my back, I'll chop him up! Besides, you are my shopkeeper, and no one can say anything. Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. I think a fake marriage is not advisable."

"Then tell me, do you like Li Quan?"

"Who? Li Quan? How could I possibly like her?" Mu Zhou felt it was a bit outrageous.

"You don't like her, so you have someone you like?"

"No!" Mu Zhou didn't hesitate at all.

"Since you don't have any, then why can't you marry me in a fake marriage?" Du Ran asked back: "It would be great if we can each get what we want."

"Boss, what can I need from you?" Mu Zhou was speechless.

"Hasn't you used me enough? You used my name to stay in the palace to investigate the treasure, and you kept it secret from me. Until now, I still don't know whether you have hidden gold and silver treasures! Even for this, I have forgiven you now, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't have any hidden treasure? I haven't even found the treasure, so what can I hide? Anyway, I will never get married in this life, so just give up on this idea!"

"I didn't ask you to get married, it was just a fake marriage!"

"There's no chance of a fake marriage!"

"Mu Zhou, you are stubborn, right?" Du Ran was angry.

"You should take a good rest. I'll go take a look outside!" Mu Zhou wanted to escape from here quickly.

Suddenly, Du Ran covered his chest with a look of extreme pain, choking and sobbing: "It's over, my internal organs are broken, help me quickly!"

Mu Zhou originally thought that she was pretending, but when he saw blood coming out of the corner of her mouth, Mu Zhou started to panic and quickly hugged her and tried to gently put her on the bed.

"Someone come! Liu Xihua, come here quickly!" Mu Zhou shouted loudly outside.

At this time, Du Ran seemed to have suddenly regained his strength. He grabbed Mu Zhou's collar tightly and pulled it, then messed himself up. The expression on his face changed from pain to grievance, and he even had tears in his eyes.

"Du Ran, what are you doing?" Mu Zhou didn't understand.

At this moment, Liu Xihua and a guard outside, followed by Li Quan, rushed in.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Liu Xihua asked nervously.

Li Quan had an ugly expression on his face. Anyone who saw the two people lying on the bed in dishevel would have some wild thoughts.

"Mu Zhou, how many times have I told you that the shopkeeper is injured and has broken bones, and can't move around? Can't you just be patient?" Liu Xihua began to complain: "I've seen that you're interested in the shopkeeper, but I didn't expect you to...ah, what can I say about you!"

"So, you are not heartless, you are just heartless to me?!" Li Quan said, and rushed out.

"Um... Big sister, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." The guard on the side felt that the situation was too embarrassing and quickly slipped away.

Mu Zhou climbed down from the bed in a hurry, and when he tried to explain, no one was around.

"Du Ran, what on earth are you doing!"

"Why didn't you agree earlier? I'm embarrassed to let others see me like this!" Du Ran wanted to shrug his shoulders, but he grimaced because of the pain in the broken bone.
