Although she was angry, Liu Qiaoer was a carefree person and she got over it in just one night.
No matter how Lu Yunzheng looked at her or thought about her, she didn't care. Whether he had selfish motives or not, facts spoke louder than words.
Waking up early in the morning and looking at the sun hanging weakly in the sky, Liu Qiaoer felt depressed, but she always pretended to be happy.
"Well, the weather is nice today. Once your condition stabilizes after the cold weather, I will start opening the steamed bun shop. I plan to do market research today."
With a plan in mind, Liu Qiaoer worked quickly and efficiently.
While the porridge was cooking in the pot, Liu Qiaoer changed Lu Yunzheng's medicine while the two children were still asleep.
"You asked Mu Lingxiao to pass on the message, and you were afraid that I would poison your medicine. You didn't dare let me sleep with Xiaoxi and the others. You tested me in all kinds of ways because you were afraid that I might have second thoughts."
"Okay, although I am very angry, I understand your thoughts and it is understandable. It doesn't matter to me whether you trust me or not. Just do your job well."
Liu Qiaoer was chattering while changing the bandage for Lu Yunzheng. Lu Yunzheng was surprised at her quick thinking, but he was unwilling to admit that his caution was wrong.
He said stubbornly: "I won't trust anyone easily."
Liu Qiao'er shrugged, "It's up to you. Your wounds are healing well. I'll ask Xiaoxi to give you medicine later. The food is in the pot. When the two children wake up, remember to remind them to eat. I'll be out for a while this morning to get some information."
I don’t know what actions the government will take against the Lu family. There are not many people on the streets these days. As long as the officials from the capital do not leave, it will be like a sword hanging over Lu Yunzheng’s head and he will be in danger at any time.
Liu Qiaoer tied her hair up like a woman, put on a grey coat, and painted some moles on her face, making her already ordinary appearance even more ordinary.
Lu Yunzheng lay on the bed, looking at Liu Qiaoer in disguise. His calm black eyes became even more profound. He thought she was quite smart.
But this trip is destined to be uneasy.
Less than an incense stick's time after Liu Qiao'er went out, she hurried back, with cold sweat on her face due to nervousness.
As soon as he came back, he bolted the door to the yard and made a gesture to the two children who were eating to tell them not to speak loudly.
After entering the house, Liu Qiaoer looked nervous: "Lu Yunzheng, it's bad. Your fiancée was arrested by the government. They said she had an affair with a criminal. Did someone tell her that you are still alive?"
Lu Yunzheng glanced at Liu Qiaoer with a gloomy look.
He denied it flatly: "No."
Qi Ze would not easily reveal his information to anyone.
Liu Qiaoer just felt her heart beating non-stop.
"Why did the government want to arrest her? The day before yesterday, I went back to our house to get something and saw that they had surrounded the yard tightly. They said they were looking for something."
"Lu Yunzheng, what secrets do you have? They claim you're dead, so why don't you hand them over now?"
Faced with Liu Qiaoer's questioning, Lu Yunzheng still did not speak, but just turned his head inside. His meaning was very clear, he did not want to listen to Liu Qiaoer's nagging.
Liu Qiaoer sighed helplessly: "Well, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it. But your fiancée... I'm afraid she's in danger."
"No, she is a member of the Su family." Lu Yunzheng said calmly.
Liu Qiaoer seemed to understand a little: "Oh, you mean that although they have captured Miss Su, they will not do anything to her. It is more likely that they are looking for something, or they want to use Miss Su to lure you out."
"But everyone knows you're dead, so what they want is what you hid."
After understanding the other party's true purpose, Liu Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad Miss Su is okay."
Looking at Lu Yunzheng's indifferent expression, Liu Qiaoer felt that she was a bit nosy. He didn't care, so why should she care.
Liu Qiaoer felt a little uncomfortable again: "Are you really not worried about her? Miss Su is your fiancée, I don't believe you are a heartless person."
A hint of impatience flashed across Lu Yunzheng's gloomy eyes, and he slowly closed them.
This expression and attitude have already answered Liu Qiaoer's question very well.
He just doesn't worry, and he won't tell secrets to others casually.
But Liu Qiaoer still felt that Lu Yunzheng would not be so heartless and made excuses for him.
"Actually, you are still worried, but you are sick now and the conditions do not allow it. If you were the old you, you would definitely not stand idly by."
After saying that, Liu Qiaoer went out carrying the basket.
Coming to the kitchen, she wanted to make buns for the children.
Lu Yunxi had already prepared the medicine and was about to bring it over. It was a full bowl. Liu Qiaoer originally wanted to take it and hold it for her.
Suddenly remembering Lu Yunzheng's vigilance, he wiped his hands awkwardly.
"Xiaoxi, you made this medicine yourself, so you should give it to your brother yourself. He doesn't trust others."
Lu Yunxi nodded obediently.
In the room, Lu Yunzheng closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. At this moment, just as Liu Qiaoer said, he could do nothing and any bad news would only make him more tormented.
Now, he had only one thought in mind, to get better as soon as possible, to seek justice for his father, and to avenge his family.
As for Su Xueying, the thing is not in her hands, so she will be fine.
Hearing the sound of Lu Yunxi pushing open the door, Lu Yunzheng turned back suddenly, his eyes like a sharp arrow shooting out a sharp light.
"who?"
"Brother, it's me." Lu Yunxi was so scared by him that she stood outside the door and didn't dare to come in.
"Xier." He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was his sister.
"Brother, it's time to take medicine..."
What Lu Yunzheng said was right. The government did not make things difficult for Su Xueying. They just locked her up and then sent her back home.
It’s just that rumors about Su Xueying are everywhere.
Liu Qiaoer, who was changing the dressing on Lu Yunzheng, told him everything.
"They said that Lord Pei fell in love with Miss Su and wanted to marry her. Miss Su refused, so they forced her to agree. This is the most euphemistic rumor."
"They also said that Lord Pei destroyed Miss Su's innocence in order to avenge the eldest master."
"Miss Su has been threatening to commit suicide at home these past few days."
"Miss Su was just imprisoned by that high-ranking official named Pei, and her reputation was ruined. Rumors are really terrible."
Lu Yunzheng still had a blank expression on his face. After four or five days of recovery, some of his wounds had scabbed over and were slowly getting better.
Liu Qiaoer didn't wrap him up like a mummy, but found a clean undershirt for him to wear.
"If you feel sorry for her, would you like me to go check on her for you? If she really dies, I'm afraid you'll regret it."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunzheng refused sternly: "Since everyone knows that I'm dead, what does her life or death have to do with me? Don't meddle in other people's business and get out."
Liu Qiaoer frowned, very dissatisfied: "I am doing this for your own good, a good match is not available."
Lu Yunzheng snorted coldly: "You are not me, how do you know it is a good match."
Liu Qiaoer paused and was actually choked by him.
After thinking about it carefully, it's true. How can one empathize with others in something like love? She just supports the couple like in TV dramas and hopes that they can have a happy ending.
But after all, drama is drama and reality is reality.
Mu Lingxiao came for a follow-up visit right after the medicine was changed and carefully took Lu Yunzheng's pulse.
"Yes, you have recovered quite well. The maid who served you was very dedicated. Now that you have finished the medicine from the past few days, let's change the prescription."
