"Fourth sister?" Sister Mei's timid voice sounded at the door.
Li Xiaonan twisted her head and looked at the door.
"Third Sister said you have walked a long way. Can I boil some hot water and warm your feet?"
"Okay." Li Xiaonan sat up with her hands on her hands.
Her feet were in burning pain, and her calves were sore and uncomfortable.
"Sit still and I'll bring it over!" Sister Mei turned around and quickly brought in the footbath. Most of the hot water in the footbath was steaming.
"Don't move, I'll do it." Sister Mei put the footbath, squatted down, and took off Li Xiaonan's shoes very neatly, and then carefully took off her socks. She looked at the blood blisters on her feet and sighed in distress.
A cry.
"Hot!" Li Xiaonan's toes touched the water and immediately retracted.
The water is too hot.
"It just needs to be hot. Don't move. I'll rub it for you." Sister Mei squatted next to the footbath, took one of Li Xiaonan's feet, poured a handful of hot water on it, rubbed it a few times, poured another handful of hot water, and rubbed it until
Your feet are slightly red, put your feet in hot water.
"It's not hot anymore, is it?" Seeing that Li Xiaonan didn't retract her foot, Sister Mei breathed a sigh of relief and then rubbed the other foot.
Li Xiaonan looked at Sister Mei who was carefully massaging her feet, her nose felt sour, and she burst into tears.
"Sister Mei~wuwu~Sister Mei~"
Li Yinzhu, who was spinning in the main room, heard the cry and rushed in. He was shocked when he saw Li Xiaonan holding Sister Mei and crying out of breath.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Li Yinzhu rushed forward and carefully lifted up Li Xiaonan's messy hair.
"It hurts! My feet hurt! Ugh!" Li Xiaonan choked.
"It's just your feet that hurt? Nothing else?" Li Yinzhu asked.
"Well, my feet hurt!" Li Xiaonan nodded while crying.
Li Yinzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just a few blood blisters, how painful it can be! I thought you were distressed!"
Li Yinzhu shook off Li Xiaonan's hair angrily.
When she thought of those two hundred copper coins, her heart throbbed with pain!
"Sister Mei, why don't you wash her feet! You're too spoiled for her, let her wash it by herself!" Li Yinzhu reached out to pull Sister Mei.
"It's hard to rub her because she's bent over. I'm free right now, and I'm free anyway." Sister Mei avoided Li Yinzhu's hand, "Look, my feet are covered with blood blisters. They need to be burned after being scalded and washed.
A needle was used to open it for her. My daughter is different from us. She has been studying since she was a child and has never worked. Her hands and feet are tender, so she suffered."
Li Yinzhu looked at Sister Mei in surprise.
Sister Mei has always been able to nod her head without saying a word, and she can speak a sentence without speaking a sentence or a half. This is the first time she has heard Sister Mei say so many words in one breath!
"She did it on her own...she's fine." Li Yinzhu was stunned by Sister Mei's big call and almost told the truth.
"Mei~Sister Mei, my legs hurt too." Li Xiaonan cried so hard that she kept choking and burping.
"Don't cry, dear girl. Sister Mei will rub it for you!" Sister Mei quickly wiped her hands, sat on the edge of the bed, and rubbed Li Xiaonan's legs.
Li Yinzhu stared at Sister Mei who was rubbing Li Xiaonan's legs, and then looked at Li Xiaonan who was holding Sister Mei's arms and crying. She put her hands on her waist angrily, yelled, turned around and left.

Before and after the next day, Wan Qing called out Li Xiaonan.
Watching Li Xiaonan move out step by step, and then watching her move down the steps step by step, Wan Qing held up her skirt, rushed down the steps in a few steps, bent down slightly, and saw the top of Li Xiaonan's feet from her calves.
"Are you sick?" Wan Qing stood up straight and asked with concern.
"I'm not sick, I walked too much." Li Xiaonan didn't stop and moved forward as smoothly as possible.
"It was only half a day yesterday, one day yesterday, and half a day today. How much distance did you walk? Why did you go?" Wan Qing was surprised.
"We've reached the entrance of the alley, it's time for you to go on duty." Li Xiaonan reminded Wan Qing.
"What's wrong with you?" Wan Qing glanced at the entrance of the alley, which was still far away.
"Didn't I tell you before? I walk a lot." Li Xiaonan did not look at Wan Qing.
"Why did you walk so long? Why did you go?" Wan Qing frowned.
"I'm walking." Li Xiaonan looked at the entrance of the alley, her face expressionless and her steps dignified.
"Are you angry with me?" Wan Qing stretched her head and looked at Li Xiaonan's face.
"Why am I angry with you? It's so obvious when you look at me like this. It means you picked up the pot that wasn't boiled!" Li Xiaonan gave Wan Qing a roll of her eyes.
"Oh!" Wan Qing curled her lips, "You call it obvious? You are so obvious, as obvious as Shi Gun's words!"
"What did Shi Gun say?" Li Xiaonan stopped.
"He told me a lot about how to serve the Crown Prince with single-mindedness and determination and not to be deviated, to how to be cautious when doing things, and also talked about how our Crown Prince is so wise and generous, and asked me if I understood.
Do you understand?" Wan Qing stretched her face in front of Li Xiaonan and asked.
"You don't understand, tell me, can I understand?" Li Xiaonan glanced at Wan Qing in disgust.
"I just asked him, what do you mean, can't you say it clearly?" Wan Qing ignored Li Xiaonan's disdain and continued.
"That's right! Just ask if you can!"
"Shi Gun said it's okay and asked me to take care of myself." Wan Qing looked serious, "Tell me, have I offended our prince in some way?"
Li Xiaonan held her chin with two fingers, frowning and looking at Wan Qing.
If Wan Qing is such a cautious person, if she wants to offend her, it must be the time when her family's son overheard their conversation. What did they say that time?
Li Xiaonan chuckled, "I think, just watch Shi Gun, as long as Shi Gun is fine, you must be fine."
"Huh? How do you say this?" Wan Qing frowned.
"First, I guessed it. Second, it's better that you don't know than you know. This time we are really at the entrance of the alley, so hurry up and do your job." Li Xiaonan raised her feet and stepped forward.
Gu Yan was sitting by the window, with one arm on the table and turning the folding fan in the other hand, looking at Li Xiaonan with a smile on his face.
"I'm in such a good mood today!" Li Xiaonan sat opposite Gu Yan, with tea already poured into the cup in front of her.
"Thank you." Li Xiaonan picked up the cup and raised it to Gu Yan.
"How is your business doing?" Gu Yan moved his chair and asked Li Xiaonan with a smile.
"Are you letting people follow me?" Li Xiaonan raised her eyebrows.
"No!" Gu Yan denied it very quickly, turning the folding fan in his hand, "Look, I only have so many people, and it's not enough to serve me. How can I have anyone to keep an eye on you?"
Seeing the disbelief on Li Xiaonan's face, Gu Yan knocked the folding fan in front of Li Xiaonan, "No, it's just a coincidence. There was a steward who went to Linhai Town and passed by Guoxiang. He happened to see it. What a coincidence!"
"Do you think I'm a child?" Li Xiaonan pressed her hands on the edge of the table, stretched her head and glared at Gu Yan.
"You are not a child, you are a little girl. Hahahahaha!" Gu Yan burst out laughing. While laughing, he patted the table with his folding fan and pointed at Li Xiaonan, "Little girl! Where are the adults in your family? Hahahahaha
