Ji Man woke up in the afternoon, but her head felt woozy after sitting up, so she lied back down again.

Ning Yuxuan transferred the bowl of thin congee to the other hand and used his other hand to help her sit up and lean against his shoulder. He expressionlessly asked, “Why are you so delicate?”

Ji Man was too tired to talk to him. Her mouth was dry. She didn't feel hungry even when she saw the congee.

But, Ning Yuxuan scooped up a spoonful of congee and overbearingly forced it past her lips and into her mouth.

“This servant can’t bear the honor of being fed congee by the marquis.” Ji Man was so angry by his action that a vein on her temple was throbbing. Who would act so crudely towards a sick person? Did she owe him something in a previous life?

“Then, you should feel deeply grateful,” Ning Yuxing lightly snorted. After stuffing her with a bowl of congee while she was dazed, he also fed her two pieces of spicy dried radish to improve the taste in her mouth.

Ji Man was peeved, but she didn’t have the strength to respond. She could only let him do as he pleased. Her eyes were feeling so tired that she didn’t even want to keep them open. She only said, “It’s easy to catch a cold. My lord, you should leave.”

For an inexplicable

reason, Marquis Moyu seemed to be in a good mood. After tucking her in, he said, “I’m not a person that easily gets sick. You don’t have to worry.”

Ji Man clenched her teeth. Who was worried about him getting sick? She was merely finding his presence annoying!

Muxu hurriedly came into the room to wipe Nie Sangyu’s body with medicinal liquid and also feed her medicine.

Looking at Muxu, Ning Yuxuan said, “It’s really tiring to be your servant girl. Muxu, I’m giving you two days off. You can leave the residence and visit your family.”

“This…” Although Muxu really wanted to take a vacation… “My master is sick. What will she do if there’s no one to take care of her?”

“I’ll be here. You can leave.” Marquis Moyu waved his hand.

And so, Muxu quickly left the room.

Ji Man’s head felt muzzy from her fever. Although she heard their conversation, she couldn’t comprehend the meaning of their words. In this midst of her confusion, someone took off her clothes and wiped her entire body down with a handkerchief that was dampened with medicinal liquid. The person followed up by pouring a very bitter medicine down her throat.

Whoever was taken care of by Ning Yuxuan would feel as if she had lost half of her life. This was a person that completely didn’t know how to gently take care of another person. And yet, he still showed an expression of concern the entire time.

However,

time.

However, Ji Man’s fever started to go away by the next day. With her body wrapped up in a thick quilt, she resembled a newborn chick as she sat by a brazier. From time to time, she would sniffle and blow her nose.
