The charming girl

Chapter 41 High fever
"Stop pretending here, I'm going to tell dad right now that you have bad intentions and are trying to kill me!"

Su Yuyi stepped back a bit, her thin pajamas already soaked with cold sweat, and she looked at him as warily as a little leopard.

Xie Shiyan was slightly shocked.

After a moment, he came to his senses and spread his palms in front of him without laughing or crying.

A string of snow-white pearls was lying quietly in his palm.

"On the way back from suppressing the bandits, we passed by a fishing village. The people in that fishing village specialized in raising river mussels for a living. I bought this string of pearls one by one, in order to know what's on your neck. As for the size, I secretly went home that night and measured it around your neck with my hand."

While Xie Shiyan was speaking, he waved the pearl necklace in front of Su Yuyi, with a smile on his lips, "How is it? Do you like it?"

Even though the light in the room is dim at this time, with only a few rays of light coming through the window, you can still see the elegant style of this string of necklaces, and each pearl on it is of moderate size.

No woman doesn't like beautiful jewelry, and Su Yuyi is no exception.

But right now, what she was thinking more about was the night when Xie Shiyan came back in the rain.

It turned out that he stretched his hand to his neck to measure his size?
She had misunderstood.

Su Yuyi's heartbeat suddenly became faster. At this moment, she couldn't tell what she was feeling.

"Now that you're all awake, I'll help you put this string of necklaces on you, then get up and have a meal."

Seeing that Su Yuyi had not moved for a long time, Xie Shiyan took the initiative to sit on the bed, pushed aside her long hair hanging down her shoulders, and carefully helped her up.

Su Yuyi originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she couldn't raise her hand.

Xie Shiyan's palm, which had been holding the knife all year round, was covered with a thin layer of calluses. It inadvertently brushed against Su Yuyi's delicate skin, causing a slight shiver.

At this moment, Xie Shiyan came closer and kissed her long black hair.

The faint fragrance penetrated the five senses, and Xie Shiyan couldn't help himself, and kissed her snow-white neck.

Warm breath sprayed down and enveloped her petite body. Su Yuyi's heart trembled. Just when she was about to push him away, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"It's bad, Shi Yan, it's bad, something happened to Brother Li!"

The visitor was none other than Shen Xiulan. She hurriedly tried to enter the yard, but was stopped by Zangdong and Zhaixia.

Shichun's thin voice was mixed in, "My lady is taking a rest, please keep your voice down."

But Shen Xiulan seemed not to hear it, and continued to shout to the inner room regardless, "Shi Yan, please save Brother Li, he suddenly developed a high fever, and his whole body was very hot..."

While talking, Xie Shiyan had already arranged his clothes and stepped out of the room.

He furrowed his thick eyebrows and said as he walked: "What happened? When you came here, weren't you fine?"

Last night, he brought Brother Li back overnight.

It was obviously peaceful all night, so why did this happen just after landing?

Seeing Xie Shiyan come out, Shen Xiulan hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, touched her somewhat scattered hair, and sobbed in a low voice: "I don't know what's wrong. Brother Li has always been weak, or maybe it happened yesterday." It's not necessarily a cold at night, Shi Yan, I beg you to go and help."

Xie Shiyan nodded hurriedly and strode out.

Su Yuyi also walked out of the room at this time.

I don't know if I saw it wrong, but Shen Xiulan seemed to glance at her before leaving.

But her look came and went quickly, making it difficult to see clearly.

Su Yuyi took a deep look at the backs of the two people as they hurried away, and then said to Shi Chun: "Let's go and have a look together." The courtyard where Shen Xiulan lives is called Qiuwu Courtyard, which is not very far from the main courtyard. .

When the group arrived at Qiuwu Courtyard, the two maids in the courtyard were busy.

One was carrying a copper basin back and forth to change the water, and the other was twisting the handkerchief to cool down the thank you letter.

And Xie Shuli was lying upright on the bed, his eyes closed, his face slightly yellow, and his cheeks showing an abnormal flush.

His lips were chapped and dry due to the excessive heat.

Shen Xiulan covered her lips with a handkerchief and made a slight choking sound.

"Brother Li, how can we live without your mother? You must be fine and nothing will happen to you..." She knelt beside the bed and touched Xie Shuli's cheek with one hand. Her tears were like a river. Living flowing out.

Xie Shiyan looked at this scene and tried to explore Xie Shiyan's forehead. After a while, he withdrew his hand.

His expression was very solemn, "It's not okay to continue like this. Have you asked a doctor?"

A Deng said at the door: "If you go back to the general, have you already sent someone to invite him?"

Xie Shiyan said anxiously: "Why haven't you come here yet?"

Just as he was talking about this, a gray-haired doctor stumbled into the door, carrying a medical kit in one hand. He was not fully clothed. He was obviously still asleep, so he was forcibly brought here.

The culprit, Rufeng, stood behind him panting and said: "General, the doctor is here."

Su Yuyi recognized this doctor.

He is a famous sage in the capital, and it is said that his consultation fees are as high as a hundred gold.

Xie Shiyan has only been promoted to the fifth rank of general in the past two years, and his salary is only a small amount of money, so the government's accounts are not very generous. The only wealth he has saved is the result of his hard work and sacrifice of his life on the battlefield. .

He was quite willing to give up on this child.

But yes, after all, Shen Xiulan said that this child was his own.

Su Yuyi looked at both of them with anxious looks on their faces, and couldn't help but think of the way Shen Xiulan looked at her in her previous life and told her this matter word by word.

If you stay any longer, you will look like a superfluous person.

Su Yuyi smiled sarcastically and walked out calmly.

When she came out of Qiuwu Courtyard, the sunlight outside was shining brightly, shining through the branches, and falling on Su Yuyi's body bit by bit, making her already bright skin even whiter, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by a halo. It's as beautiful as a fairy walking out of a painting.

After struggling for several hours, Brother Li finally got rid of his fever.

When the doctor was about to leave, Xie Shiyan came to the main courtyard and found Su Yuyi.

"Ayi," he glanced at Su Yuyi, rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment, "Can you give me some money?"

Su Yuyi was thinking deeply, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said slightly impatiently, "You are short of money, so you go to the housekeeper to ask for it. Why does it have to be blamed on me?"

Xie Shiyan was silent for a moment, "Brother Li's illness doesn't seem to be cured in a day or two. I'm afraid the follow-up costs will be quite high. I'm afraid this alone won't be enough."

Su Yuyi couldn't help but sneer.

This man had a good idea.

The bastard between him and Shen Xiulan got sick, and he even wanted money on her head.
