Her body swayed, and after just a few steps, she fell to the ground.

Scrambling up, she tried to keep going.

Xiao Yishan watched her pale little face, which didn’t look like she was lying at all.

His heart softened involuntarily, and he carried her back to the bed.

She clung to his chest, crying out, “Let me go, let me go!”

“Alright, Rong’er, I trust you, isn’t that enough!” Xiao Yishan was getting a bit annoyed by her crying.

Already feeling guilty inside, Li Rong’er relaxed as he didn’t pursue the matter further.

She rested her small face on his shoulder, sobbing intermittently.

She thought to herself, how could Yuchuan have known that she had added an aphrodisiac to the medicinal soup?

Could he also know medicine?

She felt a chill that wasn’t from the cold.

Suddenly, she felt that Yuchuan was not as easy to deceive as Yishan.

If she had chosen to deceive Yuchuan from the beginning, perhaps the fake virgin flower wouldn’t have worked at all.

She also thought of the women in the village who liked Yuchuan.

Those who simply had a secret crush were fine, but Liu Xianglian and Shi Shanzao, who had resorted to schemes, had met with a miserable fate.

Xiao Yishan pinched her chin, “What are you thinking about?

Your expression is so serious.”

I’m thinking that I shouldn’t mess with your third brother.

She hugged him tightly, “Brother Xiao, I swear to Heaven, I will never be disloyal to you!” She truly would not have any other thoughts from now on.

Before being sold, she had always faced exclusion from her brother and sister-in-law at home.

After being sold to the Fang Mansion to be a maid, she had slept with so many men but ended up with nothing.

Officially, she was a head maid, but she had to bow and scrape before everyone, just a servant, only slightly better than a slave girl who did odd jobs.

But life with Xiao Yishan had been better than she had ever known before.

If she wasn’t content with that, she might not even hold on to the man before her.

Seeing her sincere look, Xiao Yishan’s frosty tone softened a bit, “The servants have prepared breakfast.

Eat something and then go back to sleep.”

She nodded in agreement.

Looking at his resolute face, despite the scary scratch marks on his left cheek, he really could be considered a good man.

That afternoon, Li Rong’er went to the back door of the Xiao Residence and found a stone by the wall with tree leaves pressed underneath it.

She frowned.

Damn Fang Hai, that old lecher, was seeking her out again!

She had absolutely no desire to keep the appointment.

This way, there would be no end to it.

Nervously, she went back to the backyard.

Just as she entered the Elegant Garden, she saw Xiao Yishan waiting for her, “Brother Xiao…”

“Where have you been?”

“I was feeling stifled, so I just walked around a bit.” She looked up at him slightly, “You’re not still suspecting something, are you?”

“If you’re bored, I’ll accompany you for a walk.” He took her hand and they walked towards the outside of the Xiao Mansion.

His palm was particularly thick, and the calluses were rough, yet they inexplicably gave her a sense of warmth.

This was the first time he’d taken her hand on his own initiative since she’d been with him for so long.

The afternoon sun of spring was warm, unlike the cold snowy days of winter.

More people were out on the streets as well.

On the street, since Xiao Yishan was exceptionally tall and robust, Li Rong’er, though not petite among women, still appeared very delicate when standing next to him.

The two holding hands looked quite matched.

Some passersby glanced their way now and then.

Xiao Yishan, after all, was a simple and honest man.

Feeling uncomfortable under people’s gaze, he let go of her hand, and they walked one in front of the other.

He stepped into a cloth shop first.

“Are you going to make clothes, Brother Xiao?” Li Rong’er followed him in.

“You’ve been with me for so long and haven’t made many new clothes.” His voice betrayed no particular emotion, “Make yourself two sets of new clothes.”
