Chapter 24 Awakening, Fenghan

She stamped her feet and was so annoyed that she picked up her skirt and ran away.

It was raining outside, and there was a puddle of water on the bluestone steps under the eaves. When you stepped on it, water splashed up, and even your embroidered shoes and socks were soaked.

Qing Wu held up an umbrella and followed up from behind. When he saw it, he said "Oops" and said, "Why did the girl step into the water?"

She walked over and took a closer look, "I'm afraid the shoes are also soaked. The girl is waiting here. I will go back to Tangluo Garden to get the girl's shoes and socks."

"No need." Yun Xi shook his head, "I'll go back with you."

Because of the rain, the master and the servant walked on the covered veranda, which was a long and winding journey.

Xu Shiluo's socks were wet and stuck to her feet, which was really uncomfortable. Halfway through, Yun Xi frowned, "Why is it so far away?"

She tugged at the hem of her water-soaked skirt, feeling very upset and said, "I usually feel very close, but why do I feel so far away today?"

"The girl is angry, so she naturally feels far away." Qingwu smiled and helped her lift the wet and heavy skirt slightly, so that she could walk more briskly.

He added: "On weekdays, the girl runs from the front yard to look for my aunt, and from the west yard to look for the eldest son. It is common to go around the whole house. Why doesn't it feel so far away then?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xi suddenly stopped.

Qingwu, who was following behind, didn't notice for a moment and almost bumped into him.

"Girl, what's wrong?" She leaned over and asked, but what she saw was Yun Xi's pale face.

I don't know if it was because of the cold, but her lips were also raw and white, and there was no trace of blood.

Qingwu panicked, "Is the girl cold?"

He reached over and touched her forehead again, "But are you sick? Why is your face so pale?"

Yun Xi didn't answer her words and asked her in a low voice, "You said, I went from the West Courtyard to the Zhuyuan to look for my brother Xingzhi, and I went around the whole house?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Qingwu said, "But most of them are there."

After all, one is in the east front yard and the other is in the west back yard. Although they are both in the house, they are in diagonal directions, so they are naturally far away.

Yun Xi asked again, "Has brother Xingzhi ever been to the West Courtyard before?"

"What's wrong with the girl? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Qingwu was even more flustered by her confusing question, "Girl, don't scare me..."

"Answer me first!" Yun Xi interrupted her suddenly.

Her voice was cold, with a rare hint of sharpness.

Qingwu thought for a while and said, "I don't know very well, but it looks like I've never been there. Why did the eldest son go to the West Courtyard? The West Courtyard is where Aunt Fang lives."

Yes, how could he go to the yard where my aunt lives?

Not to mention Qingwu, Yun Xi has never seen him go to the West Courtyard in all these years.

But……

Yun Xi's hands and feet felt cold all of a sudden, and his brain seemed to be filled with a ball of mud that could not be dispersed.

She couldn't understand.

Why did he leave that day?

That night Yunxi fell ill.

The illness was as severe as the high fever she had when she first came to Xie's house.

The doctor came to see her and said that she had caught a cold. He advised her, "It is not good for the body to be depressed because of the depression in the girl's heart. She needs to open her collaterals."

Yun Xi just nodded and didn't listen at all.

Later in the evening, Xie Shuang came to Tangluoyuan to see her. When he saw her description, he immediately burst into tears, "They all blame me, saying that my sister is sick. This is good, my sister is really sick..."

"What does it have to do with my sister?"

Yun Xi managed a smile on his face, but he was so weak that after saying a word, he leaned on the couch and coughed.
