"Miss Xi, eat slowly and be careful not to burn it."
Feng De said.
Shi Xiaonian ignored him and tried her best to feed porridge into her mouth. After swallowing several mouthfuls, a wave of nausea rushed over her, "vomit—"
A sour backflow rushed out of her throat.
She went on a hunger strike for so many days that it was extremely difficult for her to eat again. She would vomit it up after eating.
"How do you feel?" Feng De immediately walked to her side and asked worriedly.
"Am I unable to eat?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De with some despair.
She had heard before that once a person on a hunger strike goes on hunger strike for too many days, he will not be able to survive even if he regains hope of living because he is no longer able to eat.
She couldn't die, at least not yet.
Feng De stood in front of her, gently held her hand, put his fingers on her pulse, and frowned slightly, "Miss Xi, your body is too weak, but it is not to the point where medicine and stone have no effect. You need to take your time a little bit.”
"real?"
Not lying to her.
"Really." Feng De nodded and pushed the bowl in front of her, "Try again, slower, don't rush."
"good."
Shi Xiaonian was so angry that she picked up a spoon, took a spoonful and slowly put it between her lips, and drank it slowly. She still felt nauseous, but she suppressed this feeling.
She must eat.
She will never allow herself to die before she gets the correct information from Gong Ou. Gong Ou is a narrow-minded person. If she walks in front of him, he will definitely scold her for abandoning him and abandoning him.
"Miss Xi, it will be great if you are willing to eat." Feng De sat down next to her and looked at her with relief, "Now the Gong family will leave all the affairs of the island to me. You can just stay here for a few days to recuperate. , and then I’ll send you away.”
Shi Xiaonian drank the porridge slowly, raised her eyes to look at him, and then shook her head, "I won't leave, butler Feng, Gong Ou may not be dead."
"What?"
Feng De was stunned.
It was her decision to die, and it was her decision not to die.
"Mu Qianchu came back to see me tonight. He said it. He said he didn't catch Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian said angrily.
Feng De frowned, "Do you believe what he said?"
"I'd rather believe it."
At least, that was a great hope for her.
"Yes, if you believe it, you still have some motivation." Feng De looked at her and said, "But Miss Xi, you still have to leave. I am the young master's housekeeper. I am not sure what the Gong family will do to me before the young master passes away. But You are different. The master and his wife have never liked you very much. They will probably treat you while the young master is away... "
"If they really want to deal with me, it's easy. I already have nothing, unlike Mu Qianchu who can rely on the power of the Xi family to start over after leaving." Shi Xiaonian said softly while drinking porridge.
Instead of running for her life, she would rather stay and look for Gong Ou with Feng De.
When Gong Ou comes back, everything about her will come back.
"But… "
"Butler Feng, look at my body, even if I go to the end of the world, I won't be able to last long." Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said with firm eyes, "I want to stay."
Feng De had known her for such a long time, and he also understood that she looked weak, but deep down she was a very thoughtful person.
He could only nod.
From now on, let him protect this fragile girl instead of the young master.
…
Under Feng De's care, Shi Xiaonian's body recovered day by day. The flesh fell off so fast, but it grew back extremely slowly.
She became more and more afraid of the cold and always had to wear a lot of clothes to feel comfortable.
Mu Qianchu ran away after all.
What awaits him is the endless pursuit of the Gong family and the prosperity of the Xi family. He has chosen this path, and he should have anticipated these situations.
Whether he is good or bad has nothing to do with her.
Shi Xiaonian completely stripped the name Mu Qianchu from his life.
At night, Shi Xiaonian put on a thick shawl and stood leaning against the door. She raised her eyes and looked at the lanterns above. The lanterns had not been put down. The lanterns were brightly red and full of celebration.
The night wind is chilly.
"All the affairs on the island have been completed, and all the searches that need to be done have been completed. This island is the inheritance left to you by your mother in her will. After the war, the island is no longer so beautiful. I am really sorry."
Feng De stood behind her and said, he is a very British gentleman butler who always takes the blame for all crimes that have nothing to do with him.
"The moment I set foot on the island, it was no longer beautiful."
Shi Xiaonian said calmly.
If she hadn't come back with Mu Qianchu to recognize her master and return to the sect, none of this would have happened.
"Miss Xi, some of Mu's men captured tonight will be transferred. One of Mu Qianchu's right-hand assistants wants to see you before leaving." Feng De said, "It's the man with the scar on the corner of his eyebrow. "
"He wants to see me?"
"Yes, we tortured him about where the core of the Xi family is and where Mu Qianchu is, but he didn't say anything. He only said he wanted to see you again."
Feng Dedao.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De with some surprise.
Doctor Eyebrow, what does he want to see her for
Ten minutes later, Shi Xiaonian saw Dr. Eyebrow Scar. He had been escorted to the beach. The lights on the yacht on the beach were bright, waiting to send these people away and continue the torture in another place.
Dr. Eyebrow Scar's hands and feet were handcuffed and he was being held captive. His clothes were a little messy and he was in a state of embarrassment. He had his head lowered, looking like a standard prisoner.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards him against the cold night wind.
"I still remember that his skills are very good. I always wanted to compete again, but I didn't expect that he would act as an aid to the tiger." Feng De walked behind Shi Xiaonian with a sigh in his voice.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Dr. Eyebrow Scar. Yes, he had also saved her and helped her.
At that time, when Gong Ou Ming's bodyguards blocked her, it was him who saved her with one against ten, turning a dagger.
Thinking about it, it suddenly seemed like a dream.
"Don't kill him." Shi Xiaonian heard his own low voice, "He was just following orders."
He listened too much to Mu Qianchu's words.
Otherwise, he could have abandoned her that day. With his skills, it would be easy to escape, but he was dragged to this point by her just for an order.
"I'll find a way."
Feng De nodded.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards Dr. Eyebrow Scar, stood in front of him and looked at him quietly, her voice was carried away by the night wind, "Are you looking for me?"
The wind is very strong at the beach.
He stood there in a state of embarrassment, with several bloody cuts on his face. The wind blew and it hurt to look at him.
Hearing this, the eyebrow scar doctor slowly raised his face. A scar on the corner of his eyebrow was very obvious, and he nodded with difficulty.
"What do you want to say?" Shi Xiaonian asked, his voice indifferent, "Do you want me to help intercede to let you go?"
She couldn't think of anything else the brow scar doctor could do with her at this time.
"Did Master Mu really escape? If he didn't take you away, how could he be willing to do so?"
He asked in a weak voice, and the extremely skilled expression before could no longer be seen between his brows and eyes.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in surprise, but she didn't expect that he was still thinking about Mu Qianchu.
"He can't take him with me because I stabbed him once and he couldn't take me with him, so he had to leave." Shi Xiaonian said frankly, "I have severed ties with him, and whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. "
She no longer resented it.
Hate also requires strength.
"What?" The eyebrow doctor was shocked and looked at Shi Xiaonian in astonishment, then his eyes dimmed, "That's it."
"You still care about your master, don't you hate him for not coming to save you?" Feng De asked standing aside, "If you are willing to reveal the whereabouts of Mu Qianchu or the core of the Xi family, I can give you your freedom. "
The eyebrow doctor stood there without moving.
After a long time, he closed his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaonian, "Miss, I have been with Mr. Mu for a long time. I may have a better idea of what kind of person he is than you."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him indifferently.
"In the eyes of the eldest lady, Mr. Mu has done a lot of things to hurt you." Dr. Eyebrow Scar was seriously injured and said with some difficulty, "But eldest lady, you can never deny that you owe Master Mu emotionally."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian turned around.
"Master Mu's eye disease has recurred and he is about to go blind."
The eyebrow doctor said.
"..." Shi Xiaonian turned around and looked at him in shock, "What did you say?"
What does it mean to be almost blind
"Young Master Mu is such a gentle and stubborn man. He has always been so kind to you and never thought of taking anything from you. When you hated him and scolded him, you never thought about why he suddenly changed and became so impatient. ." Dr. Eyebrow Scar said, "Because he is about to go completely blind. He knows that once he loses his sight, it will no longer be possible to defeat Gong Ou, let alone be with you, so he will fight this last time. "
Shi Xiaonian listened blankly. In the night, her face turned white inch by inch.
Mu Qianchu is going blind.
Once his eye disease relapses, he will become completely blind.
"Why didn't he tell me?" Shi Xiaonian asked blankly, her body getting cold.
"Because he doesn't want your sympathy, he only wants your love." Dr. Eyebrow Scar said bitterly, "But it's obvious that Mr. Mu is too stupid. He failed in his last attempt."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there speechless.
"Congratulations, Miss. The great revenge has been avenged."
The eyebrow doctor smiled bitterly, "No matter how prosperous and wealthy the Xi family is, Mr. Mu will spend his whole life in darkness, tasting your resentment and determination every day. This is a torture more painful than death. Oh, By the way, he had already guessed the outcome, but he still did it. It was really stupid. It didn’t seem like he was fighting, but it seemed like he was completely giving up. Are you right?"
"That's enough." Feng De looked at Shi Xiaonian's pale face and stopped the doctor from continuing, "Take him to the yacht and let's go."
"Yes, seal the housekeeper."
The eyebrow doctor was escorted away.
Shi Xiaonian stood at the beach, facing the cold sea breeze. No matter how many clothes she wore, she couldn't warm her up. She just felt very cold.
She looked at the sea under the night, her eyes were so painful, but she still couldn't shed tears.
He had already guessed this outcome, but he still had to do it. It was so stupid. It didn't seem like he was fighting, but it seemed like he was giving up completely. (To be continued)
