"Don't make a fuss."

Qiu Huixian endured the pain and said, "Help me up."

Yin'er hurriedly stepped forward and helped Qiu Huixian get up without daring to ask any more questions.

"It's already dawn, why didn't you call me?"

Qiu Huixian looked at the sky outside and frowned slightly.

On the first day of marriage, she was supposed to meet her husband and have many other chores, but she slept through them.

Yin'er whispered: "My uncle told me not to disturb the young lady's rest, so we kept silent."

"What about the other princes?"

"I got up at dawn and went to the young master's yard."

"Let's change clothes." Qiu Huixian quickly washed up, asked the maid to dress, and sat in front of the mirror to twist her hair. Only then could she clearly see the bruises on her neck. No wonder Yin'er kept staring at her neck with a solemn expression. .

Priscilla Qiu sighed, "Bring me a silk scarf and don't talk nonsense."

Yin'er brought a water-green silk scarf and tied it around Qiu Huixian's neck to cover the purple trace.

She hesitated for a long time and then whispered: "Miss, this injury looks a bit serious. I need to ask a doctor to take a look, right?"

She just saw clear fingerprints, which were pinched by someone.

Being the crown prince?

It seems that the prince's attitude towards the young lady is quite considerate. How could he be so cruel? It was still the wedding night, this——

"You shouldn't need to call a doctor, it's just some bruises. We brought some medicine for the wound. Apply it and it will heal soon... Make some soup to soothe your throat." Qiu Huixian explained as she stood up and took the maid there. Say hello to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei now doesn't have his wife to whisper in his ears, and it's hard to get drunk at the occasional banquet.

I was so happy last night that I drank two more drinks.

He had just stood up when Priscilla Qiu passed by.

When I heard that my daughter-in-law was coming to visit me, I couldn't help but hurry up and put everything in order. I received tea from my daughter-in-law and gave her a greeting gift.

Listening to Qiu Huixian's somewhat hoarse voice, Xie Wei said caringly: "If you contract the cold, let the doctor take a look. Take a good rest. Your health is important."

"Thank you father for your concern. My daughter-in-law understands."

After a few polite words, Xie Wei asked Qiu Priscilla to go back and rest.

Xie Wei asked about the whereabouts of Xie Changyu and Xie Huan. He originally wanted to ask Xie Changyu to talk about something serious, but the hangover was so bad that he yawned and went to bed.

……

Xie Changyu returned to Changfeng Garden at noon.

At that time, Qiu Huixian was in charge of the affairs of the family.

This is what Xie Changyu explained early in the morning.

After Qiu Huixian entered the mansion, Qiu Huixian took over all the internal affairs of the mansion, so the stewards were waiting in the courtyard early in the morning.

It's just that Qiu Huixian got up late.

After getting up, he went to see Xie Wei again.

Therefore, the steward of the house is not finished yet.

Seeing Xie Changyu come in, the stewards all saluted him respectfully.

Qiu Huixian also stood up and saluted Xie Changyu from a distance: "The prince is here."

"Ah."

Xie Changyu nodded and stepped into the house.

Qiu Huixian waved her hand.

Yin'er then invited all the stewards out and continued to meet in the afternoon, with her personal grandmother, Su, taking the lead in serving food.

Qiu Huixian took the bowls and chopsticks and set them down.

Xie Changyu didn't really like a group of people eating around him, but seeing that Qiu Huixian seemed to be used to it, he didn't say much and ate in silence. Qiu Huixian was on one side, eating and thinking about whether to serve Xie Changyu.

But after observing for a while from the corner of her eye, Xie Changyu didn't seem to need it, so she ate quietly.

The only sounds in the room were breathing and the sound of chopsticks touching dishes.

Suddenly, Xie Changyu frowned: "You——"

Qiu Huixian raised her eyes: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Call a doctor." Xie Changyu ordered outward, and the accompanying soldiers retreated.

Qiu Huixian noticed where his gaze was, and when she lowered her head to look, she saw that the silk scarf tied around her neck was slightly loose, with a trace of purple leaking out.

She put down the dishes, rearranged the ribbon, and said nothing.

The doctor arrived soon after.

Qiu Huixian didn't say pretentiously that it was not necessary, and asked Yin'er to lead the doctor to the inner room, unwrap the ribbon to show the doctor's injuries, and then sent all the rest to the yard.

Xie Changyu pondered for a moment, then went into the inner room and sat down at the table.

After the doctor looked at the injury, Xie Changyu asked: "How is it?"

"It's not too serious. You'll be fine after applying medicine for a few days." The doctor was originally a military doctor. After getting old, he could no longer serve in the army, but he was homeless, so he had been following Xie Changyu to take care of his daily life.

He is old and well-informed, and he has known Xie Changyu for many years, so he can guess a few things by looking at the fingerprints.

The doctor didn't say much and just prescribed medicine after making a diagnosis.

Qiu Huixian asked Yin'er to send people out, and only Qiu Huixian and Xie Changyu were left in the room.

The room was extremely quiet.

After a while, Xie Changyu said: "Sorry."

He also said these two words last night, but today these two words obviously contained more guilt.

He didn't expect that he could make such marks just by pinching his throat...

Qiu Huixian smiled: "It doesn't matter. I know the prince didn't do it on purpose. It was me who made the move."

At this time, Yin'er had just finished seeing off the doctor and came in to serve her. When she heard these words, she thought of something wrong, her face turned red, and she didn't know whether she should come in or not.

After hesitating for a moment, he took back his stepping foot and stood on the porch.

Qiu Priscilla said: "I have met most of the stewards in the house, and I haven't looked at the accounts yet. I will take a look at it this afternoon. I should be able to familiarize myself with the situation in the house in a few days. Don't worry, I will take care of everything in the house."

Xie Changyu nodded, not knowing what to talk about. He was silent for a while and said, "I will take a rest for three days. I will accompany you back home and then return to the military camp."

"understood."

The couple chatted dryly and politely, and there was only silence after everything was said.

Finally Xie Changyu stood up and left.

Xie Changyu slept on the couch for the next two nights and did not go to bed again.

On the wedding night, because he saw Xie Huan's tears, he had no intention of getting married. In the next two days, of course, he felt guilty because of Qiu Huixian's injury.

When he returned home on the third day, although Xie Changyu didn't speak much throughout the whole process, he gave the Qiu family enough face.

This made Qiu Lingyun and her brothers feel a little more at ease.

While Xie Changyu was talking to the elders of the clan in the front, Qiu Huixian and Qiu Lingyun also returned to the courtyard where they were before getting married to talk.

Qiu Lingyun asked her sister excitedly how Xie Changyu treated her.

However, Qiu Huixian avoided talking about it and only said one other thing, "Ji Hongyu came on the day I got married. Did you know?"

The smile on Qiu Lingyun's face immediately disappeared, and she gritted her teeth and said, "How could you not know? Who would have thought that he would come to cause trouble? Fortunately, he was stopped, otherwise what would have happened?"

"It's inconvenient for me to see him. You can find an opportunity to persuade him for me, so that he can take care of himself and stop doing stupid things." Qiu Huixian's face was solemn: "Don't make things get out of hand."

"I understand!" Qiu Lingyun nodded.

This Ji Hongyu has already broken off his engagement. He has been unable to deal with his grandmother and mother these years. Why bother with him now? (End of chapter)
