"Yes, Mr. Gu!"

Mu Zixi followed Gu Qiancheng, and when the two returned to the hall, they once again attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was guessing about the content of their conversation in the study.

Gu Qiancheng walked to his mother gracefully and sat down with a calm expression. He could no longer see the overwhelming anger when he left.

The speculative and curious eyes made Mu Zixi realize that Gu Qiancheng was not the only one who mistakenly thought she was pregnant. Everything started because of her. Even if she was leaving, she should not leave the misunderstanding behind and affect Gu Qiancheng.

and Fu Junyao.

Fu Junyao looked at Gu Qiancheng and tried to say something. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

Mu Zixi also followed Gu Qiancheng to Liu Qingya, bowed and said: "I'm sorry, madam! I just lost my temper! Recently, at noon every day, I was arranged by the housekeeper to weed and wash the floor in the back garden. The weather was too hot, so I had

I have some symptoms of heatstroke. I already reported to the housekeeper in the morning that I wanted to take leave, but he didn’t approve it. So the situation has become more serious. Now I have a fever and feel a little nauseous.”

Liu Qingya didn't know whether what Mu Zixi said was true or false, but even if it was false, it would be nice if she could say so, which would give her a reason to cover up the matter satisfactorily.

Her face darkened, she looked at the housekeeper displeased, and asked, "Butler, has she asked you for leave?"

The butler's head was already sweating. He smiled awkwardly and replied: "It seems that there is such a thing. Maybe I was too busy and didn't take it to heart. Oh, Zixi, look at you, how can you still be so serious?

It’s an understatement, you should tell me the truth.”

Fu Junyao was doubtful, but did not show any disbelief. She just stood silently beside Liu Qingya, waiting to see what they would say next.

Liu Qingya scolded the housekeeper lightly: "You have to be more careful in the future. People's health is the most important thing. Nothing like this can happen again!"

"Yes, madam!" the housekeeper responded quickly, then turned to Mu Zixi and said, "Zixi, I will take you to the doctor now."

Before Mu Zixi could refuse, she heard Gu Qiancheng, who had been silent, say indifferently: "No need! I think she can still persist."

Fu Junyao's eyes never left Mu Zixi's face. Her face turned red, as if she was tired of breathing.

Does she have a fever or is she pregnant?

Fu Junyao was only one step away from Mu Zixi, and in the blink of an eye she had an idea. With a concerned smile on her face, she took a small step forward and reached out to touch Mu Zixi's forehead.

It was indeed hot. The doubts in her heart were a little lessened. She turned back to look at Liu Qingya and said softly: "Auntie, she has a severe fever. It's best to go see a doctor."

Liu Qingya understood that Fu Junyao wanted to confirm, but she didn't know Mu Zixi's true situation. When she was riding a tiger, Mu Zixi spoke for herself.

"Madam, Miss Fu, thank you for your concern. I'm sorry to cause you trouble. I'm fine. Mr. Gu will be here soon, and dinner will start. Please don't ruin Mr. Gu's birthday party because of me."

Fu Junyao couldn't hold on any longer. She had already shown her concern for the servants of the Gu family and stopped talking.

"Okay, if you still feel that you can't persist, you can always ask the housekeeper to take you to see a doctor."

After Liu Qingya finished speaking, she looked at her watch and said to Fu Junyao: "You have been standing for so long, are you tired? Sit down quickly, and Cheng'er's father will be here after a while."

No one paid attention to Mu Zixi anymore. She stood quietly next to Fu Junyao, enduring her dizziness and nausea, silently waiting for the governor's arrival.
