Chapter 47 Proposing marriage at home
"What happened to her? Is she dead?" Ji Anyu's tone hid a hint of excitement.

"She's not dead. I pressed her sleeping point." Shen Jing's eyebrows twitched helplessly.

"She seems to be running a fever."

"Oh, really?" Ji Anyu became even more excited, and even felt like going crazy with the heat.

Shen Jing lowered his eyes and saw the red and swollen palms.

"Did they hit you?"

No wonder he heard Ji Anyu crying while standing outside.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Jing held Ji Anyu's hand and blew on it gently.

"It must have hurt. I got hit with ten sticks."

Shen Jing raised his eyes and took in Ji Anyu's red eyes.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to hit Ji Anyu, but they actually hit her.

If those people were not Ji Anyu's relatives, he would definitely pay them back a thousand times.

"Wait for me, I'll go get the medicine."

"Yes." Ji Anyu did not refuse. It would be difficult for her hand to heal without applying medicine.

As soon as Shen Jing left, Cao Lingru came over with a lunch box.

Seeing her beloved baby lying on the ground and Ji Anyu, who was kneeling beside him, turning a blind eye to it, she felt angry and distressed.

"Yunchu, my son, don't scare me."

When Cao Lingru saw Ji Yunchu’s blushing face, she quickly put her hand on Ji Yunchu’s forehead.

"Someone, go get the doctor and carry the young lady back to Meihuayuan."

She squinted her eyes at Ji Anyu who was kneeling upright, snorted coldly, put the lunch box next to Ji Anyu as if she was sending away a beggar, and left in a hurry.

After a while, the aroma of rice lingered around Ji Anyu's nose.

My stomach is growling.

Ji Anyu swallowed her saliva. She could guess that there was meat in the lunch box just by the smell.

She closed her eyes and recited the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility several times, trying to dispel the tempting smell of rice.

"You have a lot of guts."

Ji Anyu opened her eyes and looked at Shen Jing who was smiling at her.

His eyes moved down to stare at the more exquisite lunch box in Shen Jing's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"You brought me food?"

"What else? Would this prince come to your house with a lunch box to hang out for nothing?" Shen Jing chuckled and walked forward, taking out the three layers of food in the lunch box.

"Eat, Zhusha will be guarding outside."

Ji Anyu was already starving. She didn't care about the pain in her hands and grabbed the chopsticks impatiently.

"Let me feed you." Shen Jing couldn't bear to watch her eating and taking a breath.

He picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Ji Anyu's mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah."

Ji Anyu ate the meat and suddenly remembered that she fed Shen Jing in the same way when Shen Jing was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed.

Recalling the past, Shen Jing had to reveal his injuries...

Shen Jing had no idea that Ji Anyu was having wild thoughts. He was carefully experiencing the feeling of feeding someone.

It turned out to be so wonderful. No wonder Ji Anyu fed him like feeding a pet, with a hint of kindness.

Shen Jing's expression became more tender and considerate as he wiped Ji Anyu's mouth.

Although he had never taken care of anyone before, he had learned a lot from Ji Anyu taking care of him and thought that his way of taking care of people was much better than Ji Anyu's.

At least the hot rice and dishes delivered to Ji Anyu's mouth were not scalding.

Unlike Ji Anyu, who was so careless, he still vaguely remembers the feeling of the hot medicine burning his throat.

In Meihua Courtyard.

Ji Yunchu had a high fever and kept shouting in a daze to catch the strange man.

Cao Lingru leaned over to listen to Ji Yunchu's words, with a complicated expression on her face.

Who is this wild man? Yunchu was still thinking about him in her dreams.

"Go and boil the medicine quickly." Yunchu couldn't continue to burn it. What would she do if her brain was burned out?

When Ji Chengting heard that Ji Yunchu had a high fever, he sighed softly and asked someone to go to the palace to invite an imperial physician to see her.

Thinking of Ji Anyu kneeling in the ancestral hall, he sent someone to the ancestral hall to tell Ji Anyu that she didn't need to kneel anymore.

At this moment, Ji Anyu had finished his meal and had applied medicine on his hands.

Shen Jing heard Zhusha's reminder and quickly left the ancestral hall.

"Second Miss, you don't have to kneel anymore. You can go back to Chaoyang Courtyard."

When Ji Anyu saw that it was the person in front of her grandfather, she nodded and glanced at the lunch box left by Cao Lingru.

"This lunch box was sent by my mother. You can give it to her." "Okay."

Ji Anyu walked out of the ancestral hall and looked around, but did not see Shen Jing. He guessed that Shen Jing should have returned to Prince Zhong's Mansion.

Shen Jing is so loyal!
After Shen Jing dies, she will definitely make a good coffin for him!

She hummed a little tune as she returned to Chaoyang Courtyard, never expecting that Shen Jing was watching her from the eaves above her head.

"Young Master, are you hungry? Let's go eat." Miss Ji was about to go back to her room to wash up and sleep, and they didn't even have a single hot meal.

Shen Jing withdrew his gaze when he saw Ji Anyu return safely to Chaoyang Courtyard.

"Let's go."

He lifted his foot, then put it down again, looked back at Chaoyang Courtyard, and thought for a moment.

"Ask Sun Ziyou to come and propose marriage."

"Yes."

……

Meihuayuan is brightly lit and people are coming and going.

"After tossing and turning for half the night, the fever finally subsided." Cao Lingru picked up the wet cloth on Ji Yunchu's forehead exhausted.

Yuan Niang hurried into the room and whispered in Cao Lingru's ear.

"Madam, the second young lady didn't eat. The food in the lunch box is the same as before."

Cao Lingru couldn't help but be stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"Eat it or not, she's mad at me, I don't have time to care about her."

Yuan Niang was hesitant to speak. She secretly hoped that the Madam and the Second Miss would reconcile. After all, they were blood relatives.

"You go and rest. I'm worried about Yunchu. I'm afraid she'll have a fever again. I'll stay here and watch over her."

Seeing that her wife was completely focused on Ji Yunchu, Yuan Niang sighed resignedly. No matter how much she tried to persuade her, it was useless as they would eventually become estranged.

The next day.

Ji Yunchu woke up feeling uncomfortable all over, and saw Cao Lingru sleeping on the side of the bed, so she quickly woke Cao Lingru up.

"Mom, Ji Anyu's wild men are here, go to the ancestral hall and catch them!"

"You've been calling for a wild man all night." Cao Lingru's ears are almost callused from hearing it.

"Yunchu, you are confused. Where is the wild man? Ji Anyu went back to Chaoyang Courtyard a long time ago. She is not in the ancestral hall."

"Mom, why don't you believe me?" Ji Yunchu kicked the quilt anxiously.

"If you don't catch him quickly, he'll run away! Cough cough cough..."

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, I'll go right away."

Cao Lingru tucked the quilt in for Ji Yunchu and told the servants to take good care of Ji Yunchu.

She went out and found it was already daylight.

"Yuan Niang, I think Yunchu's brain is not working well. Please quickly ask a doctor to come and see if there is water in Yunchu's brain. When Yunchu was rescued last night, I didn't pay attention to how much water she vomited. I was afraid that the water was still in her body. She was talking nonsense all night."

Yuan Niang looked at Cao Lingru helplessly.

She saw that her wife was a little confused, and thought that she didn't get enough rest last night.

Cao Lingru didn't realize that there was something wrong with her thoughts, she clasped her hands together towards the sky.

"Buddha may my son recover soon."

She was filled with worry. "If the Queen knew that Yunchu was not smart, what would happen to the future of the Duke's Mansion?"

"Madam, don't think too much. We still have the little master." Yuan Niang comforted.

She said that the Duke's Mansion was praising Ji Yunchu too much and had forgotten how outstanding the young master was among his peers.

After Ji Anyu woke up, he heard that Ji Yunchu seemed to have lost her mind, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, my lady, please keep your voice down. If the lady hears you, she will definitely scold you."

Qiao Xin quickly closed the window.

"Just scold me if you want. I didn't do anything, but she still scolded me." Ji Anyu crossed her feet leisurely.

Nanny Yang will not come to the Duke's Mansion until tomorrow. She is very free today and wants to go for a walk.

"Qiao Xin, did you pawn the jade pendant I gave you?"

"Yes, the money is in the Chaoyangyuan warehouse."

"Well, that's good, let's change into men's clothes and go out to do our business."

Ji Anyu plans to look for vacant shops and buy one if it is suitable.

"Miss, great news!" Han Yan ran into the house excitedly.

"The Imperial Tutor's Mansion is here to propose marriage. The matchmaker is talking to the Duke. The Imperial Tutor's Mansion wants to marry you!"

Ji Anyu was stunned by this shocking news.
