When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately thought of something, so he called Shu Ruyue over and asked her to go out to buy strong alcohol.
Luckily enough, there was a wine shop beside the inn. Shu Ruyue quickly bought two jars of the strongest wine and sent them to Luo Cheng.
After Luo Cheng chased Shu Ruyue out of the room, he picked up a handkerchief, stained it with strong alcohol, and began to wipe Li Xiaoran’s face.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Xiaoran’s temperature dropped a little.
At this moment, Wu Qinghe also boiled the medicine and brought it over. Then, Luo Cheng fed it to Li Xiaoran.
Four hours later, Li Xiaoran’s fever finally subsided.
After taking Li Xiaoran’s pulse and confirming that she was really fine, Luo Cheng was relieved.
“Brother Luo Cheng, go rest for a while! Shu Ruyue and I can help take care of her!”
Luo Cheng shook his head silently and continued to guard Li Xiaoran.
“Why don’t I find a shop owner to place a bamboo couch here for you? This way, you can sleep beside Xiaoran, so that she can see you once she wakes up!”
Luo Cheng still refused.
“It’S nne. 1 can take It! YOU guys nave Deen 10110mng me ror so long, so you guys should go rest first!”
Wu Qinghe had no choice but to bring Shu Ruyue downstairs for dinner.
After all, eight hours had pa.s.sed since the last meal, but they had yet to drink a single drop of water.
Fortunately, there was a small kitchen below the inn. After the two of them ate some food, they brought some porridge back for Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng didn’t refuse this time and he ate the porridge in big mouthfuls.
He still had to take care of his wife, so he had to maintain his stamina.
Li Xiaoran’s illness came and went quickly.
The next morning, when Li Xiaoran opened her eyes again, she was already much better.
However, Luo Cheng was worried, so he only let her eat plain porridge.
Seeing that Luo Cheng’s handsome face had become much more haggard because he had to take care of her, Li Xiaoran’s heart ached.
“Husband, have some breakfast and go rest! Don’t worry, I’ll stay in the inn and won’t go anywhere!”
Luo Cheng nodded as he advised her worriedly.
“Don’t go anywhere. Stay here with me!”
When Li Xiaoran saw how clingy Luo Cheng was, she couldn’t help but laugh,
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll stay by your side! Where else can I go?”
Luo Cheng was relieved to hear Li Xiaoran’s a.s.surance.
After dinner, Luo Cheng fell asleep on the bed.
Hearing Luo Cheng snore even after falling asleep so quickly, Li Xiaoran knew that he was really tired.
After walking over and covering Luo Cheng with a blanket, Li Xiaoran leaned against the bed and looked out of the window.
After Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue found out that Li Xiaoran was fine, they went out for a walk.
At first, the two of them were a little worried that anyone from the government would recognize them. Unexpectedly, no one came to arrest them after they walked down a few streets, so the two of them discussed and went straight to the place where the government office had posted the notice.
What was strange was that the officials here really didn’t post their portraits. No wonder several bailiffs didn’t cause trouble for them when they encountered them on the way.
After confirming this, the two of them went shopping with peace of mind.
They bought all kinds of food and things along the way.
When Luo Cheng woke up, he saw Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue returning to the inn with a few large bags.
“Did the two of you go out to rob people? Why did you buy so many things?”
“We couldn’t help but buy so many things while we were shopping!” Shu Ruyue said embarra.s.sedly.
With that, Shu Ruyue pulled Li Xiaoran over to share the things she bought.
Luo Cheng was about to say something when Wu Qinghe stopped him.
“Hey, Brother Luo Cheng, don’t follow Xiaoran all day. Women have their own things to talk about! Come and take a look. The things I bought are also good things. Hurry up and take a look!”
Just as Luo Cheng was about to leave, he saw what Wu Qinghe had taken out and was immediately intrigued…
On the other side, Li Xiaoran watched as Shu Ruyue displayed the things she had bought.
“Come, come, come. Xiaoran, look. These dresses are beautiful, right? I bought some for you!”
As Shu Ruyue spoke, she took out a few dresses and stuffed them into Li Xiaoran’s hand.
“Look, do you like these dresses? The weather is getting hotter, so we’ll be able to wear beautiful dresses soon!”
After Li Xiaoran looked at the dress in her hand and then at Shu Ruyue’s excited expression, she smiled as she teased, “I didn’t expect the female warrior Miss Shu to like to wear dresses.”
“Although I’m a female warrior, it doesn’t stop me from liking beautiful dresses!” Shu Ruyue said, “But sometimes, for the sake of convenience, I wear a pair of long pants under my dress. If there’s anything that requires me to use force, I can immediately change into a new outfit!”
Just as Li Xiaoran was about to say something, there was suddenly the sound of something breaking outside.
When Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue heard this, they quickly went to the window of the room and happened to see what was happening in the courtyard next door.
They saw a man smashing a bowl in the courtyard and glaring ferociously at a woman standing not far away.
“Li Xia, you’d better think about it carefully! After you divorce me, don’t even think about leaving with Huai’er! Huai’er is the son of the Nie family. You can’t take him away just because you want to!”
The woman looked very meek. At this moment, she only quietly watched the man in front of her go crazy as she protected a child in her arms with both hands and blindfolded the child to prevent him from seeing the scene in front of him.
“Nie Yue, you were the one who was unfaithful to me first and hooked up with another woman behind my back. Do I have to remind you of this? Now, I’ve fulfilled your wish and asked for a divorce, I only hope to take Huai’er away. This isn’t too much, right?! Anyway, isn’t Weiwei already pregnant with your child?”
As soon as she said this, the surrounding onlookers began to discuss.
At this moment, a waiter’s head popped out of the window of the next room. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but curse.
“Nie Yue is really a good-for-nothing. If I had married such a good wife like Li Xia, I would have treated her well. How could I do anything to let her down?
However, this sc.u.mbag hooked up with a married woman behind Li Xia’s back. No wonder Li Xia wants to divorce him! He deserves it. She should leave him with nothing!”
When Shu Ruyue heard this, she looked at the waiter and asked, “Second
Brother, what exactly is going on? Tell me!”
The waiter had no intention of hiding it for the sc.u.mbag, so he told her what he knew.
It turned out that the Nie family’s family wasn’t well-off in the past.. Other than a dilapidated house, they only had a father and a sick grandmother!
