Xiao Hong, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, stood up. When it saw Ye Jinsu holding the jar, it softly said, ”This was left behind by Ning Wang.”

She could clearly see that Ning Yunyin had put down this piece of paper and left.

Ye Jinsu was holding the small jar in her hand. Suddenly, she didn't understand what he meant by that.

Apologize? Or did he feel sorry for her?

With one hand holding the jar, Ye Jinsu stood up. It was inconvenient for her to open it with her other hand. Inside the jar was a pitch-black bottle of medicine. Ye Jinsu extended her right hand, ”Serve the medicine.”

Little Red looked at Ye Jinsu in surprise. She thought that Ye Jinsu would let her throw this away.

Ye Jinsu smiled, ”It's a good medicine. Why should I be against myself?”

It was indeed a good medicine. The moment Ye Jinsu applied it, it stopped hurting her. Xiao Hong was making a bed for her by the bedside while Ye Jinsu was holding a lamp by her side. In the dreamy candlelight, Ye Jinsu was lost in thought for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered that Ning Yunyin had also applied medicine for him under the same light that day.

Ye Jinxiu pulled her thoughts apart and asked, ”How is it going with Ye Jinru?”

Xiao Hong was still unable to react and was dazed for a second before replying, ”Master made Second Miss kneel for an entire night before leaving.”

Ye Jinsu did not have any expression on her face and asked, ”What about the Xie Clan?”

Xiao Hong shook her head, ”I don't know. There's no news about it.”

”Where's the Nanny Liu?”

”After that little girl Hong Yun returned, Nanny Liu held her and cried for a while.

Ye Jinsu nodded and put down the scissors, ”I've been grounded for a while now. Pay more attention to their movements. If you see anything, remember to tell me.”

Xiao Hong knew what was important and nodded seriously. She turned off the light and walked out softly.

A sleepless night.

His hands were always in excruciating pain, causing him to be unable to sleep well.

It wasn't easy for her to fall asleep, and she kept tossing and turning in her nightmarish dreams. Suddenly, her wet nurse died miserably, and now it was Ning Yunyin who stared into her eyes.

Thunder rained in waves. Ye Jinsu felt that the thin blanket she had covered before was a little cold.

Ning Xiaoyao's residence was also sleepless through the night.

When he returned to the mansion at night, he went straight into the study and hadn't come out until now.

Everyone was guessing who caused Ning Wang to be unhappy. Only Meng Lan was secretly knocking her head on the back of her hand. It was most likely that she had broken off all ties with the girl.

Ning Yunxiao sat in his study room, his hands occupied with matters to be dealt with, his mind unable to focus on them. The fire in her mind had already started burning towards her, and she kept recalling the words in the room.

”Miss, do you feel any pain …”

Did she hurt?

Ning Yunyin massaged the space between her eyebrows. Ye Jinsu's wrist had been hidden in her sleeve the entire time. He hadn't even taken a glance at it and had long forgotten how much effort he had put in.

On the other hand, Ye Jinsu's gasp during the debate was exceptionally loud in his ears. It was extremely ear-piercing.

Did she use it?

How's your hand?

Will she see me again?

These questions held his attention, and Ye Jinsu's ice-cold gaze enraged him. Ning Yunyin felt as if something in her heart was tearing at her.

Maybe he should get rid of everyone in the House of Ye. He should just let it go and never care about Ye Jinsu again.

Or perhaps he could go to the palace and request for an imperial edict, an imperial edict allowing her to marry him. From then on, it would only belong to him.

No matter what, he shouldn't be like this, struggling in the quagmire. Neither side was what he wanted.

Ye Jinsu's mocking expression was still fresh in her mind. Ning Yunyin finally opened her mouth and called for Meng Lan.

”You don't need to go to the Ye Residence.” Ning Yunyin explained.

Meng Lan stared blankly for a moment, but quickly agreed.
