When Qiu Yan came back, there was not a single part of his body intact, his wet clothes were covered with mud and blood, giving off a pungent bloody smell.

He stood at the door of the wooden house, and the lightning flashed through the night sky, illuminating that cold and ferocious face.

From coma to sober, with a little faith, he endured the pain and cold, and climbed up from the steep slope.

"Patta." A cloth bag fell in front of Shen Shaotang, and many red fruits scattered out.

"I kept you waiting." Qiu Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and she sat beside him.

"The wounds on your body...let me see." Shen Shaotang said cautiously.

Qiu Yan shook her head, "It's not a serious wound, I've already dealt with it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and lay on the dry grass as if he had fallen asleep.

"..."

After dawn, Shen Shaotang discovered that Qiu Yan had a high fever.

He wanted to use spring water to simply reduce the fever, but it didn't work. During the period, he also found that Qiu Yan's body was covered with fine scars, as if his skin had been cut by stones.

Waiting for rescue on the mountain is tantamount to waiting to die.Shen Shaotang decided to take him down the mountain, looking for a chance to ask for help.

He leaned Qiu Yan behind him, almost carrying a man taller than himself, and took a step forward, almost falling down with Qiu Yan.

A while later, Shen Shaotang took Qiu Yan and walked down the mountain path step by step. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he found a group of people gathered there, and every face was somewhat familiar.

The servant and maidservant of the Qiu family wanted to pick up tools and go into the mountains to search, and vowed to see the dead and the dead.

I don't know who yelled "Eldest Young Mistress" first, and everyone discovered them.

After a while, with Suxue's support, the old lady walked through the crowd and came to Shen Shaotang.

"Good daughter-in-law!" When she saw Qiu Yan beside him, she couldn't help crying, "Yan'er... Yan'er, are you willing to leave your mother behind? You just say something..."

"He just passed out." Shen Shaotang said.

Hearing this, the old lady wiped away her tears, "Take him into the carriage quickly and let Zi'er have a look."

Shen Shaotang originally wanted to hand over Qiu Yan to someone else, but the other party's hand kept clutching his arm, and he couldn't tear it off no matter what, so he had no choice but to send him over.

On the carriage, Qiu Zi also showed a surprised expression when she saw her second brother's miserable appearance, and felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

The second elder brother is a scholar and has always been gentle. She has never seen him hurt so badly.

In the carriage, there was only a simple bandage. To heal Qiu Yan's injury, he had to go back to Qiu's house and prescribe some medicine.

In the evening, Qiu Yan woke up leisurely.

He opened his eyes and looked at the people in the room, only feeling the noise, so he asked where Shen Geyan was.

The old lady was distressed, so she asked someone to call him over.

Shen Geyan had recovered most of his body, but he was a little tired. He was standing at the bottom, and just as he bent down to put the medicine bowl on the bedside, Qiu Yan grabbed his wrist.

Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with joy, "Are you...are you injured?"

Shen Geyan frowned slightly, "I'm fine, but you need to rest well."

The old lady at the side paused for a moment, then forced herself to move away from those two intimate hands, and then reminded in a low voice: "Yan'er, drink up the medicine quickly."

While drinking the medicine, Qiu Yan also stared straight at Shen Shaotang. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly stopped her: "Aside from taking the medicine and sleeping, I'm bored all day long. Can my sister-in-law stay a little longer and talk to me?"

It is always difficult to refuse a patient's request.

The old lady sighed slightly, and left with the others. She was worried that the other servants would not take good care of her, so she left Su Xue to look after Qiu Yan.

"You must not spread the news about Yaoshan." Qiu Zi was the last one to leave. She carried the medicine box and said to Suxue when she stepped out of the room.

"Slaves promise to take secrets to the grave."

"..." Hope others do too.

Suxue sent Qiu Zi away, but when she came back, she found several maids squatting among the flowers, staring at the door.

"Eldest Young Mistress and Second Young Master, what are you doing in the room?"

"Other people are visiting the sick and leave after a while, but the eldest and youngest mistress has been here since the morning..."

Just as they were about to discuss in depth, a scolding came from behind them.

"It's so bold, what are you guys doing here, you should say?"

Su Xue looked stern and said coldly.

Several maids looked at each other, then got up one after another, and said with a smile: "Sister, I misunderstood, we... let's go now..."

They went out of the garden, and there was a "ah" at the arched door, and it turned out that they had bumped into someone.

The maid covered her red forehead and quickly apologized: "Young Master Yuan, I didn't mean to."

Seeing the beauty of the girl, Yuan Shuo's heart fluttered for a while, and he didn't even feel like cursing.

He smiled tolerantly: "Don't say that, I am also in a hurry."

"I don't know if Mr. Yuan came to look for the second young master, but this servant said something more. Now...the second young master has an appointment with the eldest young mistress, so it's time for me." The maid pursed her lips tightly, but hesitated to speak.

"Why can't you be free?" Yuan Shuo didn't understand, so what if they have an appointment, can't he join temporarily?

Three people together?The maid heard his "meaning", and her complexion suddenly changed, turning pale.

She looked at Yuan Shuo with disdain, "Young Master Yuan, don't joke."

Then, the other maids pulled her, saluted and fled the scene quickly.

Yuan Shuo stood there in bewilderment, and after thinking for a while, he clenched his fist and knocked on the other palm.

Could it be...they are having a tryst?He looked like he had been struck by lightning.

Thinking of this, he turned his feet silently, if he didn't go to Qiu Yan now, he could only go to the old lady's when he came to Qiu's house.

"Shuoer." The old lady happily called his name from a long distance away.

Jinqiu, another maid in the room, beckoned him to sit down and poured tea and water for him.

"The old lady's complexion is rosy, and she looks younger." Yuan Shuo showed a standard flattering smile.

Amused by his cuteness, the old lady nodded kindly and watched him ask about the health of his parents and how the business was going.

Yuan Shuo replied one by one without any ambiguity.

When talking about Qiu Yan's return from the mountain this time, the old lady was obviously in a low mood, "I knew there would be disasters, so I shouldn't have let the two of them go up the mountain. Now Yan'er is still recuperating, so it's inconvenient to go out."

"How do you know this?" She asked suspiciously.

Yuan Shuo scratched his head, "I heard it from people outside."

"What's the talk outside now?"

"Outside...it is rumored that Ah Yan and his sister-in-law spent the night together on the mountain, spreading rumors to slander their relationship."

Yuan Shuo swallowed, raised his eyes to see the old lady's reaction.

There was no smile on the old lady's face, and she said in a serious voice: "Shuo'er, I asked you something, and you must answer it honestly."

"Tell me." Yuan Shuo said frankly.

"A few days ago, I heard from Lao Li, who sells fried chestnuts on the street, that you bought a lot of paintings from Shen Geyan. Is there such a thing?"

Yuan Shuo felt uneasy, "...it is true."

The old lady's eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Why did you buy those paintings? Money can't win you over."

"..."

Under strong pressure, Yuan Shuo still confessed to Qiu Yan, "But, this proves nothing, Ah Yan just wants to help my sister-in-law, and she has no other intentions!"

"As for those sluts, they are in the same room from morning to night. I think it's all gossip. How many men in this world can fall in love with men..."

At the end of his speech, Yuan Shuo suddenly stopped talking, because he remembered that the elder brother of the Qiu family was just one in ten thousand.

Then, his words made the old lady feel that something was wrong, and her expression suddenly turned cold, with a hint of anger.

Yuan Shuo almost wanted to slap himself, that incident... actually made him slip up, and the old lady shouldn't have known about it.

……

Outside the door of Qiu Yan's room, Su Xue was bringing a bowl of medicine from the kitchen, before she was about to knock on the wooden door, she hesitated for a moment, and then knocked lightly.

"Second young master, it's time to drink the medicine."

"..."

She thought about it, she should raise her voice again, but the next moment a maid came trotting in from the door.

The maid pointed to the door and said intermittently: "The old lady is here... here!"

"what?!"

Before Suxue had time to do anything, the old lady pushed away the maid and walked in, her face was extremely ugly, as if she was angry.

"Yan'er, mother is here, don't you want to open the door?" the old lady said in a deep voice.

Suxue didn't dare to open her mouth, she knew it was the beginning of a storm without contacting the cause and effect.
