Xi'er said with a smile: "Miss, I heard this all yesterday."

"What did you hear?" Tao Yao felt guilty.

"The movement in your house, the Duke has been hurting you for a day and a night." Xi'er said happily, "Now, Miss, you should rest assured, the Duke is very normal and very brave."

Tao Yao: "..."

After realizing it, she couldn't care less about being shy anymore, and she looked surprised, "What day and night? It's the second day now?"

Xi'er was surprised, "You don't know?"

Tao Yao: "..."

She supported her waist and wanted to sit up, but her whole body was limp, like a puddle of mud, which made her fall sideways on the quilt.

Xi'er hurried over to help her, and gave her a pillow to lean on.

Just lying down, Tao Yao just felt a little sore and limp, but now when she moves, she just feels that her whole body is going to fall apart, and it hurts everywhere.

She wanted to cry, but couldn't help cursing out loud, "Which eighth woman made up a rumor, saying that Lu Jiuyuan can't do it?"

Why can't he?
one day one Night?
It's too cruel!

Woohoo!

Xi'er looked at her in astonishment, "Miss, why are you scolding yourself?"

"Huh?" Tao Yao was stunned.

"Aren't you the one who said the Duke is not good?" Xi'er reminded with a complicated face.

Tao Yao: "..."

The corner of her mouth twitched, and after a while, she deliberately said fiercely: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

Xi'er was not afraid of her, so she smiled and went to twist the towel to wipe her face.

Tao Yao sat for a while, and said with difficulty, "Xi'er, prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

"Okay." Xi'er immediately went down to get ready.

After taking a bath, Tao Yao's fatigue disappeared a lot, but she was still extremely weak and a little tired. Seeing that Xi'er had changed the sheets again, she went to lie down on the bed again.

Xi'er reminded: "It's cold now, and there's nothing to do. The lady is tired, so she lies down in the room for a long time. The servant has just asked someone to make chicken soup for you. Now go and see if it's ready, and bring it to you."

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded.

Xi'er smiled and went out quickly.

The earth dragon was burnt in the house, and there was a charcoal basin, which was very warm. Tao Yao lay on the quilt very comfortably.

Not long after, Xi'er came back and brought her chicken soup.

Tao Yao got up and drank.

"By the way, the Duke has gone to the camp again?" she asked.

Xi'er shook her head, "The Duke didn't go to the camp, but I heard from Brother Wu Ze that Mr. Gu went back to Beijing today, and the Duke went to see him off."

Tao Yao was taken aback, "Master Gu is going back to Beijing?"

"Yes." Xi'er nodded.

Tao Yao felt a little guilty, "I didn't know, and I didn't prepare a farewell banquet for him."

"It's okay, everyone is so familiar, Mr. Gu won't blame you." Xi'er comforted.

"En." Tao Yao nodded helplessly.

At this time outside the city.

Lu Jiuyuan said goodbye to Gu Changqing, "Be careful on the road."

"I know." Gu Changqing nodded and looked behind him, "Why didn't Mrs. Sister-in-law come?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said, "It's too cold, I'll let her stay in the house."

"Really?" Gu Changqing glanced at him with a half-smile, "But why did I hear Wu Ze say that Mrs. Sister-in-law refused to spend time with you after making a fuss? I thought she would return to Beijing with me today."

Lu Jiuyuan's face darkened, and his eyes narrowed, "Why? It's just a small fight between husband and wife, but I forgot, an unmarried person like you won't understand."

Gu Changqing choked, and snorted coldly: "Don't be complacent, by this time next year, I will have a wife too."

Having said that, he cheered up again, with longing and anticipation on his face.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him, and poured cold water unhurriedly, "Whether Miss Tao Er will marry you, it's hard to say, don't expect too much, lest you will be disappointed in time."

Gu Changqing: "..."

"Go slowly, I'm coming back." After Lu Jiuyuan said that, he got on his horse and left without looking back.

Gu Changqing: "..."

When he came back to his senses, he got into the carriage angrily, and vowed to settle his marriage with Tao Ling after he returned.

At that time, marry her earlier, maybe he can become a father before Lu Jiuyuan.

That guy Lu Jiuyuan, regardless of his handsome appearance and tall and straight appearance, maybe he is just a fancy guy, otherwise his wife has been married to him for more than half a year, why hasn't there been any movement?
Thinking about it this way, Gu Changqing regained his balance, and the anger he received from Lu Jiuyuan just now disappeared.

So what if Lu Jiuyuan got married before him?
He will definitely come from behind!

Tao Yao didn't know the episode outside the city gate, she fell asleep after drinking the chicken soup.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

She pushed open the window and saw that it was snowing outside again, excitedly pulled Xi'er and wanted to build a snowman again, but saw that there was really a "snowman" standing in the yard.

To be precise, the man was squatting there, but his head and body were already covered with snow. From a distance, he really looked like a snowman.

Tao Yao and Xi'er were very surprised, looked at each other, and walked over.

Just approached, the "snowman" suddenly yelled.

"Ma'am, help, this subordinate is going to freeze to death..."

Tao Yao was taken aback, "Wu Ze?"

"It's the subordinate." Wu Ze's voice was frustrated, and his voice was trembling because of the cold.

"What are you squatting here for?" Tao Yao wondered.

"This subordinate didn't want to, yes, it was punished by the master..." Wu Ze's voice weakened.

Tao Yao was very surprised, "Why?"

Wu Ze closed his mouth guiltily.

How dare he say that the reason why he was punished was because he talked too much to Gu Changqing and gave Gu Changqing something to laugh at his master.

Although he only told Gu Changqing half of it, the master was still upset.

Therefore, as soon as the master returned to the mansion, he was punished to stand in the ice and snow.

so cold……

His feet were freezing.

"Madam, save this subordinate quickly, this subordinate is dying..." he said in a trembling voice.

Tao Yao sympathized with him, but felt that Lu Jiuyuan would not punish him for no reason, so she couldn't help but said, "I can't save you."

Wu Ze felt that the sky was going to collapse.

"For the sake of this subordinate who taught you how to ride a horse, please save this subordinate." His tone was extremely humble.

Tao Yao's heart softened, "Okay, I'll try."

"Thank you ma'am." Wu Ze expressed gratitude.

Tao Yao gave up her plan to build a snowman and walked to the study.

But when she reached the door of the study, she suddenly stopped and hesitated.

She had the closest relationship with Lu Jiuyuan, and now facing him again, she suddenly felt a little awkward and awkward.

Just as she was wandering outside the door, Lu Jiuyuan came out.

The two looked at each other, and they were a little silent.

Thinking of what Lu Jiuyuan did to her yesterday, a blush appeared on Tao Yao's tender little face.

Now that the two are facing each other suddenly, the shame in her heart suddenly ran out, making her a little at a loss.

She felt that if she stayed any longer, she might melt.

But when she turned around and was about to run, the man grabbed her hand.

Before she could react, she crashed into the man's arms with a "boom".

"What are you running for?" The man's voice was strangely hoarse.
