Chapter 5 Who's Afraid

There was a "bang" in the sky, and a thunder exploded.

After waiting for the heavy rain for a day, it finally fell.

The crackling raindrops created splashes of water, and the dullness in the air was swept away.

After working all night, the sisters were extremely tired. They returned to Qushui Pavilion, freshened up briefly, and then lay down.

But neither sister was sleepy, especially Xu Si, whose mind was filled with what happened last night.

"Ayin..." She hesitated to speak.

Xu Yin knew that she couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up.

"Sister, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Xu Si sat up, hesitated for a while, and said, "What was that dream of yours about?"

Now that she has returned to the old days, Xu Yin will not let tragedies happen again. She is with her sister day and night, and now that her temperament has changed drastically, she naturally has to explain it to her. With her sister's understanding and support, she can let go and do those things.

Thinking of the separation in the previous life, Xu Yin couldn't help but lean over. Xu Si hugged her and said softly: "It's okay, no matter what happened, my sister is here."

Xu Yin smiled.

Yes, this is what my sister did in her last life. In the end, she had to escape even if it cost her life.

"Sister, do you believe that people can see the future?"

It rained heavily for two full hours, and it turned into a light drizzle at noon.

Xu Yin heard the maid's voice coming from outside.

"It's already noon, do you want to wake up the eldest lady and the third lady for dinner?" The voice was innocent and ignorant, it was her girl Xiaoman.

Another said: "Wait a minute, the two ladies were exhausted last night. They were crying and laughing at the same time. I'm afraid they won't be able to wake up now." This was Xia Zhi, my sister's personal maid, and her tone was steady.

The girl's temper is probably like that of her master.

She and her sister may have lost their mother when they were young. Her sister has a precocious temperament. Although she is only two years older than her, she takes care of her like a little adult. And she, under the protection of her father and sister, is innocent and naive.

I don't know anything about the world, I just know how to play and mess around.

The same goes for their girls. The two sisters live together, and Xia Zhi takes care of their daily life in every possible way, but Xiao Man only feels stupid all over.

Xu Yin couldn't help but smile, turned around and asked, "Sister, should we get up and eat first?"

"Ah!" Xu Si was still immersed in what she said, looking a little confused.

It was rare to see such a childish sister, Xu Yin smiled again.

My sister is only sixteen years old now, she is indeed still a child!

Xu Si was a little embarrassed and said, "Let's eat first."

Xia Zhi saw them getting up and was very surprised.

Xu Si said: "We were not asleep just now. You asked someone to cook two bowls of noodles. A Yin and I will take a nap before going to bed in the afternoon."

Are the two ladies too happy? Xia Zhi understood very well and ordered people to make soup noodles.

Xu Yin stopped her: "Send someone to the main courtyard to ask if father is okay?"

The summer solstice is here.

When the soup noodles were delivered, the servant girl who went to inquire about the news also came back and reported happily: "My lord is fine! I took all the medicine and didn't vomit at all. I also had a bowl of meat porridge. The doctor said that the qi and blood will slowly improve."

Just raised it back."

Xu Si was overjoyed and said to Xu Yin: "Let's go to bed after eating and wake up so we can see our father."

Xu Yin felt relieved.

Just now, she picked up some of the things from her previous life and told them to her sister. She did not mention the experiences of the two sisters, but only talked about the things her father had been harmed by.

"Sister, my father was poisoned silently. It can be seen that the other party is very sophisticated and has many spies buried in the governor's office. Therefore, from now on, we must be extra cautious about my father's condition. No matter those long history,

Whether it’s my grandmother or my second uncle who records things, they can’t do it without any reservations.”

Xu Yin didn't say it was Fang Yi who did it. These days, Fang Yi has always been considerate. Her sister didn't know his sinister intentions and treated him as a good friend. She was afraid that she would be hit when she suddenly learned about it.

We need to figure it out slowly and prepare her mentally first.

Xu Si saw Gu Chong with his own eyes and believed her words 100%, and responded: "I know. The mansion is heavily guarded. After his father was injured, the only people who could see him were his close ones. If anyone among them has any bad intentions,

I am afraid that if we leak the news, we will alert others."

Xu Yin nodded: "Everything inside and outside the Governor's Mansion is managed by Manager Ji. If he is the one who has ill intentions towards my father, we won't be able to wait until the Gu insect is discovered. Therefore, the only person who can rule out suspicion now is him.

"

Xu Si was convinced of her analysis: "Okay, then just believe him."

The two sisters discussed it, finally put their minds at ease and went to sleep peacefully.



Fang Yi's face darkened as he left the Governor's Mansion.

He calculated the time and deliberately asked Dr. Huang to arrive a day late, not wanting such a mistake to happen.

How could this happen? Xu Huan had already vomited blood, how could he suddenly get better?

He thought about it over and over, but had no clue.

There was a thunder in my ears, and then heavy rain fell.

He was in such a hurry last night that he didn't even bring an umbrella, and he was soaked in the rain in an instant.

The attendant reported: "Sir, please take shelter under the eaves first. Can you borrow an umbrella for me?"

Fang Yi shook his head. He didn't bother to wait for an umbrella, so he just went home in the rain.

His family lived in a small courtyard in the south of the city. He had bought it in his early years when he first entered the government office. Even after he became prosperous, he did not change it to a big house.

The old servant opened the door for him and exclaimed: "Why did you come back in the rain? Where is your umbrella?"

Fang Yi told him to keep his voice down so as not to disturb others.

But a voice could already be heard in the room: "Ayi, are you back?"

Fang Yi put away all his thoughts and smiled: "Mother."

Then, the maid came out supporting an old-looking woman.

It is said that Fang Yi is only in his early twenties, and his mother is not very old, but this woman's face is very old, she looks to be at least fifty.

This is because Fang Yi lost his father when he was young, and his mother raised him alone and suffered a lot.

Mother Fang looked at him with concern: "Why are you so wet? Go wipe it quickly, don't catch a cold."

"yes."

Fang Yi went into the house to change clothes, and heard his mother standing outside, asking naggingly: "You have been gone for a few days, but have you invited Dr. Huang back? Is your Excellency saved?"

After returning from overseas, Fang Yi went directly to the Governor's Mansion. Fang's mother did not know that Xu Huan was critically ill.

Fang Yi was upset and replied vaguely: "Doctor Huang will arrive later, sir. He seems to be doing well."

Hearing what he said, Mother Fang felt relieved: "It's okay. Your Majesty is very kind to our mother and son. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to study and you wouldn't be where you are today. Ayi, you have to repay your kindness well."

Fang Yi didn't answer. He had answered these questions many times, ever since the young man received funding from the governor's office, and he had answered them countless times.

Mother Fang asked again: "Where are the two young ladies? You have to go and greet them often. They are still young. They must be very scared when they suddenly encounter such a thing..."

Fang Yi suddenly became angry.

Afraid? He is the one who is afraid! The game that he put so much thought into has suddenly disappeared. Now that he thinks of Ji Jing's attitude, he can't feel at ease.

Do they know?
