Shen Yunyi waited in Liu's residence for an hour, urged Wu to go in and called twice before Liu Xi returned.

The two have lunch together.

Shen Yunyi noticed that Liu Xigui put down his chopsticks before taking a few bites, and looked at his thin face that was almost out of shape, and couldn't help frowning.

"The food is not to your taste?"

Liu Xigui didn't expect the Fourth Prince to pay attention to such trivial matters, so he casually said, "Yes."

Shen Yunyi couldn't stop feeling distressed.

"I'll change the cook for you some other day. It's too late today. Even if it doesn't suit your appetite, you should eat more. See how thin you are."

Liu Xigui raised his eyebrows.

"Is the fourth prince caring about me?"

Shen Yunyi took it for granted.

"You are my savior, of course I have to care about you."

Liu Xigui, "The 500 taels of gold is enough to offset the grace of saving lives."

Shen Yunyi used the serving chopsticks to pick up a few dishes for Liu Xigui, "Is my life so worthless?"

Liu Xigui looked at the dishes in the bowl, "You can add more if you think there is less."

Shen Yunyi, "..."

"Apart from the grace of saving lives, can't there be friendship between us?"

"I regard you as a friend, and it's only natural that I care about you."

friend?

Liu Xigui thought about these two words in his heart, but he did not continue to refute after all.

He doesn't care about friends, all he wants is a partner.

And it just so happened that the fourth prince, who might be on the opposite side of the prince and queen, was a suitable candidate.

Whether it is really suitable or not remains to be observed.

After dinner.

Shen Yunyi and Liu Xigui were walking in the yard together, and only then did they talk about the business of their visit this time.

"500 taels of gold have been prepared, and someone will deliver it to your house tonight."

Liu Xigui's reaction was mediocre.

"it is good."

Shen Yunyi, "...that's 500 taels of gold, don't you get excited?"

Liu Xigui, "...No."

The corner of Shen Yunyi's mouth twitched, and she was about to speak, but she didn't notice her feet, tripped over a dead branch, and was about to fall face down, subconsciously reached out to grab the man beside her.

Liu Xigui reacted more quickly, taking a step back when Shen Yunyi was about to catch him.

Shen Yunyi fell short.

"boom!"

The whole person hit the ground heavily, his face contorted in pain.

"Woooooooo..."

I couldn't help crying.

"It hurts..."

The most important thing is not the pain, but Liu Xigui actually watched her fall!
"Why did you escape just now? Why didn't you help me?"

Liu Xigui, "I'm not used to getting close to people, my body's instinctive reaction, sorry."

Shen Yunyi sat on the ground, feeling aggrieved and desolate in her heart.

Even if he knew that the current Liu Xigui didn't know his identity, didn't know that she was his wife, and it was understandable not to help him, but deep down in his heart, he still couldn't accept this gap.

Perhaps seeing Shen Yunyi crying so miserably, Liu Xigui reluctantly reached out to her.

"stand up."

Shen Yunyi sobbed twice, put her hand on Liu Xigui's palm, and was about to use his strength to get up, but felt a sharp pain in her ankle.

"I sprained my ankle!"

Liu Xigui, "..."

This was the first time he met such a troublesome man, if it wasn't for the fourth prince's value, he would have given up on it.

"I'm going to ask the doctor."
-
When Liu Xigui came with the doctor, Shen Yunyi was still sitting on the ground.

Turning around, I realized that the doctor was an acquaintance.

Yun Yi walked over with the medicine box on his shoulders.

"Where is the injury?"

Shen Yun pointed to his feet.

"I sprained my ankle and couldn't stand up."

Yun Yi squatted down and exposed Shen Yunyi's ankle. As expected, his fair skin turned red. He touched the sprained area with his hand, and straightened the bone back without saying a word.

Shen Yunyi let out a cry of pain.

"Can you take it easy?"

Yun Yi rolled his eyes.

"You are a big man, why are you so afraid of pain? The last time you sewed such a long wound to your brother-in-law, he didn't say a word, so you can't learn from it?"

Shen Yunyi's pupils trembled.

"Sister...brother-in-law!?"
