First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 298 Repentance
Du Rongzhi fell ill.

The disease was violent and there were no symptoms. When Song Zixun got the news and came back, Du Rongzhi had already burnt to the point of death.

Song Zixun lifted his robe and sat down beside the bed, and put his hand on Du Rongzhi's forehead, "Why did you suddenly get sick?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head uneasily, "I don't know... I'm fine this afternoon, but the young lady said that she had a headache and wanted to sleep for a while... Who would have thought that it would suddenly start to burn at dusk..."

He touched Du Rongzhi's flushed cheeks, frowned and said, "What did the imperial doctor say? Have you taken the medicine?"

"The imperial doctor said that the young lady was overworked, and the weather has been hot and cold recently. The young lady was weak and couldn't bear it, so she fell ill... I have already drank the medicine once, and I need to drink it again later."

Song Zixun nodded slightly, seeing Du Rongzhi frowned and muttering unintelligible nonsense, he hesitated for a moment, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, and brought Du Rongzhi and others with the quilt.

Du Rongzhi snorted in a daze, and curled up obediently into his arms like a kitten.

Song Zixun sighed softly... If only he was this obedient on weekdays.

He has a good nature towards everyone, but only facing him will erect thorns all over his body...

Song Zixun twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, then lowered his head and kissed Du Rongzhi's forehead.

Yuanyuan blushed as she watched from the sidelines, and glanced away in embarrassment.

However, Du Rongzhi seemed a little obsessed with the cool and soft touch on her forehead, she subconsciously leaned towards Song Zixun, wanting to get more.

Song Zixun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but felt that she was very hot, and was about to ask when the medicine was ready, when Qing He came in with a soup bowl.

Seeing the two embracing each other, she was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her eyes and saluted, "Master, it's time for the young lady to drink the medicine."

Song Zixun nodded, and carefully supported Du Rongzhi on the pillow.

Qing He stirred the soup with a spoon, and fed it into Du Rongzhi's mouth when it was still hot, but more than half of it flowed down the corner of her mouth. She didn't give up, and took another spoonful, and the situation remained the same.

Qing He was so anxious that she was sweating, and said at a loss, "How can this be good... It was obvious that I could feed it before..." But now it seems that I don't even have consciousness... Wouldn't the situation be worse if I didn't take the medicine? !
Song Zixun thought for a while, then took the medicine bowl, "You guys go out first."

Qing He was stunned, and smacked her mouth to say something, but seeing Song Zixun's uncompromising expression... she could only say yes in a low voice, and then backed out with Yuan Yuan and the others.

Under the candlelight, his wife's pretty face was flushed, and her pink lips also turned an abnormal blush...

Song Zixun pondered for a while, picked up the bowl, put it in his mouth, and bent over.

........................

By the time Qing He and the others were called in again, two cups of tea had already passed.

She looked at the bottom of the medicine bowl in surprise, and said pleasantly, "Master, did you feed the young lady the medicine?"

Song Zixun sat in front of the table, clinging to the cup of tea and said "um" calmly.

Because everyone's attention was on Du Rongzhi, no one noticed the faint blush on his fair and handsome face.

When Qing He wiped Du Rongzhi's face again with a warm handkerchief, he remembered that there was still a big living person sitting here, so he stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Young Madam's fever is so severe, I'm afraid I'm afraid that today's life will be over. Can't sleep well at night...or the servants will order someone to clean up the side room—"

Song Zixun waved his hand, "I'll sleep outside." He paused, his expression returning to his usual calmness, "You guys are so kind to take care of me, if Young Madam wakes up or feels unwell, just call me."

Qing He glanced at him in surprise, and said with relief, "Yes."

........................

Du Rongzhi fell into a coma all night.

Song Zixun also tossed and turned outside all night.It wasn't until dawn that he heard Qing He and the others talking joyfully from the room, followed by a burst of noisy footsteps... and then fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up, it was already three quarters.

"How is the young lady now?"

Yuanyuan took the robe and stepped forward, and was about to help Song Zixun change his clothes. When he saw him take it directly, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the young lady's fever has completely subsided. I woke up at five o'clock. Asleep... still asleep now."

Song Zixun nodded, took the change of clothes and went to the clean room.

After he tidied everything up, Du Rongzhi in the room also woke up.

She was still dazed from waking up, she was picked up by Song Zixun and sat on the bedside, staring blankly at him for a while, unable to recover.

"Feel better?" Song Zixun asked with an extremely gentle voice.

"Hmm..." Du Rongzhi closed her eyes and snuggled into his arms, and said weakly, "It's just that I have no energy in my body, and I'm very sleepy..."

Song Zixun curved his lips and smiled.

He actually likes Du Rongzhi like this a little bit, and is very dependent on his appearance...

He stretched out his hand to pinch his wife's messy black hair behind his ear, and said in a low voice, "You've had a high fever all night, so naturally you don't have much strength." He frowned and looked at the servant who was serving him, "Why hasn't breakfast been delivered yet?"

Qing He hurriedly said, "The servant girl has ordered someone to pick it up, and she should be there soon."

Song Zixun snorted coldly, then hugged Du Rongzhi, and said softly, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Du Rongzhi shook her head.

It may be because of her illness, but she seems to be particularly obsessed with Song Zixun's warm embrace... She even thinks that it would be great if he could always be with her like this...

She let Song Zixun hug her for a while, and then realized later, "What time is it now...don't you have to go to the Imperial Academy today?"

"I won't go." Meeting her questioning gaze, Song Zixun paused slightly, "I was a little busy before because I had to wrap up the things at hand... Now that the new year is approaching, I'm naturally free."

It can be regarded as finding a suitable step for him to go out early and return late recently, and he can't even talk to her every day. Even the previous dispute between the two of them seems to have been exposed lightly...

But Du Rongzhi only felt bitterness in his heart.

She still remembers why she fell ill...

She wanted to tell him that she regretted it, and she didn't want to take office with him... But seeing how cautious he was, treating him like a treasure, she couldn't say those words...

Song Zixun didn't know what she was thinking.Seeing Du Rongzhi's expression was sluggish, it was only as if she was still unconscious, and feeling distressed, she couldn't help hugging Du Rongzhi tightly, and said in a gentle voice, "I'll help you ask your grandmother and mother for leave later... the rest of the day You just need to calm down and take care of your body, and wait until the next year to take up the post with me."

He paused, then said softly, "Shanyin County is a picturesque place...you will definitely like it."

Du Rongzhi's arms around his waist tightened, and then loosened...

"it is good."
