Chapter 103
"When I rescued you today, I acted too eagerly. I'm afraid there will be many rumors spread tomorrow." Ling Xiao patted her back gently, "It's better to be still than to move now. Just stay at home these days, where can you go?" Don’t go either, I will find a way to do something else so that everyone will forget about it soon.”

"In my opinion, the more rumors spread, the better it will be for the Gu family to come and cancel the engagement." Zuo Xiangning said with her lips pouted.

"If you use this as an excuse to cancel the engagement with the Gu family, it will damage your reputation." Ling Xiao patted her back, "There is no rush to cancel the engagement, I have my own arrangements."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

This man is duplicitous. He says he is not suitable for her, but when he does things, he does not think about her in everything.

"She's so skinny that she still wants to be a living Bodhisattva who saves people in need." The man hugged her and tucked the quilt behind her neck. "I've been recovering well at home these days. I'll bring you roasted leg of lamb the day after tomorrow." come over."

"I won't eat it." Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and asked, "The rumors have an impact on me, but what about you? It won't make your cousin from home angry, right?"

"Don't think blindly. You still don't know who I am pretending to be?" Ling Xiao patted her on the butt.

Zuo Xiangning breathed out, "What are you doing?"

"You cunning little fox, you know my thoughts, but you still insist on forcing me to submit." Ling Xiao hugged her lovingly, "However, it's too late for you to regret now. Don't worry, as long as I have one breath left, I will I will protect you."

"I will keep your words in mind," Zuo Xiangning stretched out her finger, tapped his nose, and slowly slid it to his thin lips, "If you dare to say those hurtful words before, I will I’m so angry!”

Ling Xiao held her wrist, rubbed her fingers lightly, and said, "I won't do this next time."

Zuo Xiangning blushed, pursed her lips and smiled softly.

She didn't know what it felt like to like a man, but thinking about it, this was probably it.

No matter how angry or sad I am, or how many times I have made up my mind to forget him, as long as he coaxes me, I will be happy and reconcile with him as before.

Outside the silent window, two cats meowed.

Ling Xiao paused as he patted her back and said, "It's time for me to go. I have something to do tomorrow night and I might not be able to make it. I'll come see you the day after tomorrow."

"You don't have to come over all the time." Zuo Xiangning said distressedly: "It's freezing outside, be careful you get cold sick again."

"If I don't come, you don't miss me?" Ling Xiao asked with raised eyebrows.

"What are you talking about?" Zuo Xiangning pushed him away, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "I don't miss you."

"If you don't miss me, who do you miss?" Ling Xiao hugged her back into his arms, "You are not allowed to think about anyone but me!"

"I will miss you only if you miss me." Zuo Xiangning let out a light "hum".

"How else do you want me to miss you?" Ling Xiao thought of how he has been living these past few days, "I miss you so much that my heart aches..."

The cat's meowing outside became more urgent.

Zuo Xiangning didn't dare to delay any longer, pushed him away, and said softly: "You go, so I can sleep a little longer."

"Don't forget to let the doctor take a good look at it tomorrow." Ling Xiao sat up, helped her tuck the quilt in, and kissed her on the forehead, "These days, you should go out as little as possible. I will come and see you when I have time. you."

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning nodded obediently.

Ling Xiao took out a banknote from his arms and gave it to her, "This is a New Year's gift for you."

Zuo Xiangning took it and saw that it was a 2000 tael banknote.

"How can anyone give a gift or a banknote?" Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's hard for you to explain when I buy something for you." Ling Xiao smiled and put on his cloak: "You can buy whatever you want, in case you don't like what I buy."

"No sincerity at all." Zuo Xiangning stuck her head out from the bed curtain and looked at him, "You should wear more clothes next time. It's so cold outside, so be careful of the wind and cold." "I know." Ling Xiao pressed her down again Back under the covers.

Zuo Xiangning didn't dare to waste his time any longer, "Be careful on the road."

"You also need to take good care of yourself." Ling Xiao glanced at her reluctantly.

Zuo Xiangning listened to the door being gently closed and slowly closed her eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because I feel better and all my illnesses are gone.

It was because Ling Xiao's elixir was so effective that she fell into a very deep sleep.

So much so that when I got up the next morning, my menstrual blood was all over the bed.

Cai's mother brought her newly made porridge, side dishes, and brown sugar water. "Madam is worried about the girl, so I asked this old slave to come and take a look."

"I'm already fine." Zuo Xiangning smiled and gave Cai's mother a big red envelope, "I wish my mother good health and all the best in the new year."

"Oh, I haven't given my New Year greetings to the girl yet." Cai's mother was busy giving New Year greetings to Zuo Xiangning, "I wish the girl good health, safety and success in the new year."

Panxia and Pancui also smiled and wished Zuo Xiangning New Year.

Zuo Xiangning took out the red envelopes she had prepared before, one for each person.

"I'll give you the red envelope in the yard later." Mother Cai whispered, "New Year greetings haven't started yet at Shi'an Hall."

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning smiled and nodded.

After Cai's mother left, Zuo Xiangning put on her cotton coat and chinchilla skin cloak, held the heater, and stood in the middle of the yard, asking Pan Cui to open all the doors and windows of the room for ventilation.

Now the room smelled of blood and Chinese medicine, which gave her a headache.

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly a man's voice sounded in the yard.

Zuo Xiangning was startled and looked up to see Li Shaonan sitting on the tree next door, squinting at her and smiling.

"Miss Fourth on the Left, you don't recognize Li after not seeing me all night?" Li Shaonan said: "Are you too far away for the girl to see clearly? Do you need me to come to the girl now and let her take a good look?"

The old lady of the Li family is the cousin of the current emperor. For so many years, she has always been cared for by the eldest princess, and she is somewhat thin-faced in front of the emperor.

The master of the Li family passed away many years ago. The eldest daughter of the Li family is the emperor's favorite concubine. The second master of the Li family is a fifth-rank Dingyuan general in the north, guarding a fortress on the border. The third young master of the Li family is guarding Old Man Li. In front of him, there was a romantic man who did everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.

It seems that I have to move somewhere to live.

"Miss Zuo Si, I heard that you fell into the lake yesterday? Are you okay?" Li Shaonan ignored Zuo Xiangning and ignored him, just talking to himself, "You said you look like a paper man, I didn’t expect that my body is so good that I didn’t get sick even after falling into the lake in such a cold weather.”

Zuo Xiangning turned around and said to the people in the room: "Close the doors and windows to let out the wind."

"Girl, wait a little longer." Pan Cui said loudly in the room: "Pan Xia and I will change all the bedding on the bed."

"I'll go take a look at Madam's yard first." Zuo Xiang tightened her cloak and walked towards the door with her head lowered.

Seeing that Zuo Xiangning ignored him, Li Shaonan jumped directly from the Li family's tree into the Zuo family's yard, stretched out his arms, and blocked Zuo Xiangning's face, "Zuo Xiangning, what do you mean?"
