Qin Yun waved her hand. "Forget it!"
"Xiao Ju, get me the pill from the drawer!"
Xiao Ju nodded, then opened the drawer beside her, took out a small bottle, and handed Qin Yun a black pill.
Then she picked up another water cup on the table and poured Qin Yun half a cup of water.
Qin Yun took the pill and drank the water.
With a gulp!
The pill and water went down together.
Seeing Xiao Ju serving her diligently, Hong Fu felt a pang of guilt.
She walked up to Qin Yun and knelt down. "Master, it is my fault. I did not take good care of you!"
Qin Yun gave a bitter smile. "Hong Fu, get up quickly. Serving is Xiao Ju's job!"
"Your duty is only to protect me! Your job is much harder than Xiao Ju's!"
Xiao Ju quickly helped Hong Fu up. "Sister Hong Fu, young master will not blame you. Get up!"
Hong Fu felt a bit embarrassed and then straightened up. "Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness!"
Qin Yun handed the water cup to Xiao Ju and asked casually, "Qingshan has been gone for several days. He should be returning to the capital soon, right?"
"He should be back in these two days!" Hong Fu said softly.
"..."
"Young master, young master..."
From afar, they could hear a young servant shouting outside the door of the mansion.
"Master, I'll go and see!"
Qin Yun nodded.
With a creak, the door opened.
Hong Fu looked at the little servant who was running over and scolded, "What are you yelling about so early in the morning?"
The servant smiled apologetically and said, "An official has arrived! He said... he said he was here to see our Master Qin!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun, who was in the room, ordered Xiao Ju to close the door and quickly wrap her up.
Outside the room!
Hong Fu frowned. "Which official is it? Did he announce his name?"
"It's a young official. I think his name is Ouyang... something!" The servant couldn't quite remember the name.
Si Qing?
Qin Yun, inside the room, quickly thought of this name!
Was he here to see her? Was he concerned about her?
She felt a little joy in her heart!
She quickly had Xiao Ju find her best red robe!
Then she asked Xiao Ju to bring hot water for washing and makeup.
Although her current identity was that of a man, she still had to dress up decently!
She couldn't leave a bad impression on Si Qing!
"Young master, go slowly! Your body is not well yet!"
Qin Yun smiled excitedly. "Xiao Ju, did you hear that? It's Si Qing... he's here to see me. He must have heard that I was sick, so he's here to show his concern!"
Xiao Ju frowned slightly.
Although she was just a little maidservant, she was almost of age. Coupled with her precocious nature, she understood the feelings between men and women!
"Young master? Do you like that... Young Master Ouyang?" Xiao Ju stammered!
As soon as she said this!
Qin Yun immediately snapped back to her senses!
She patted her forehead!
She must be delirious from her illness!
She had been so excited to hear that Si Qing was coming.
She looked at Xiao Ju with a hint of embarrassment. "Xiao Ju, can you keep this a secret for me?"
Xiao Ju lowered her head. "Young master, it's not your fault. You are of age, and it's normal to like a man! I've seen that Young Master Ouyang. He's a gentle and refined handsome man, both tender and considerate. He is worthy of you!"
"It's just a pity that fate plays tricks. Young master and that Young Master Ouyang, I'm afraid..."
Qin Yun gave a bitter smile. "Forget it, we'll take it one step at a time. If I can see him every day, it's worth it!"
Xiao Ju bit her lip, wanting to cry. "Young master?"
"That's enough! This is my destiny. I can't blame anyone! Now that I've entered the court, I cannot reveal my identity. Otherwise, if the Emperor finds out... it's a capital offense!"
That perverted man is gay and likes men!
Seeing that she looked neither male nor female, he had designs on her!
If he knew she was a woman, he would surely be enraged!
At that time, the executioner's block, with its endless flow of blood, would be on Qin Mansion and the top scholar's mansion, with the blood of dozens of people!
So, in this life... no matter what, she must not reveal that she was disguised as a man!
"Young master, stop dawdling. That Young Master Ouyang is waiting for you!"
Prompted by Xiao Ju, Qin Yun quickly tidied her clothes.
"How do I look? Do I look... a bit better?"
Xiao Ju, wiping away her tears, laughed. "Young master, don't be vain. Young Master Ouyang isn't here to see a beauty! He's here to visit a colleague!"
Qin Yun playfully poked Xiao Ju's nose. "Alright, I know. I'll collect myself in a moment!"
After tidying up, Qin Yun and Xiao Ju walked out of the room, one after the other.
As they reached the doorway, they ran into Ouyang Si Qing, who was walking towards them.
Ouyang Si Qing was also wearing a red outfit today, making him look even more handsome.
"Yun'er? I heard you were ill. I was very worried, so I came to the mansion to see you!"
Ouyang Si Qing approached Qin Yun and checked her complexion. "It's so good to see you are alright!"
Qin Yun was very happy to see Ouyang Si Qing wearing red.
They really had a tacit understanding.
"Si Qing?" Qin Yun was very happy and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that her young master was dazed, Xiao Ju gently nudged Qin Yun's back from behind.
Qin Yun quickly came to her senses. "Si Qing, please come in!"
Xiao Ju was anxious from the side.
Has the young master gone delirious from her illness?
Why did she invite him directly into the main room? This was the young master's boudoir!
Shouldn't she have invited him to the front hall?
Xiao Ju shook her head helplessly.
Forget it. If the young master likes it, there's nothing she can do.
After entering the room, Qin Yun invited Ouyang Si Qing to sit down.
Xiao Ju served tea and poured water by their side.
"Si Qing, why do you have time to visit my mansion today?"
Ouyang Si Qing took a sip of tea and said, "I'm on holiday today, so I thought I'd come and see you!"
"Looking at your complexion, your health has also improved by more than half, right?"
"Thank you for your concern, Si Qing. My health is fine! I'll be able to attend court tomorrow!"
Seeing Qin Yun and Ouyang Si Qing hesitate to speak, Xiao Ju said softly, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything good to eat!" After speaking, she left.
When Xiao Ju left, she deliberately closed the door.
Qin Yun was made a little awkward by Xiao Ju's actions.
This move made it seem as if she was up to something bad!
This girl already had a son in her heart!
Seeing that the door was closed, Ouyang Si Qing also felt a little uncomfortable.
"Um... I should probably open the door. This girl might have done it unintentionally."
"Forget it, it's nothing!" Seeing Qin Yun get up, Ouyang Si Qing grabbed her wrist.
He didn't know what was happening, but the moment the maid closed the door, he suddenly felt nervous!
Even though it was two grown men in the room, he still felt a sense of lingering fear.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Ouyang Si Qing quickly let go of Qin Yun's wrist.
"It's nothing!" Qin Yun smiled, feeling a little happy.
Just as she was about to return to her seat,
She was so focused on Ouyang Si Qing that,
Without paying attention, her foot slipped, and she almost fell.
Fortunately, Ouyang Si Qing was quick and agile!
He grabbed Qin Yun's slender waist and pulled her into his arms!
Qin Yun was startled. Seeing that Ouyang Si Qing had caught her, and was now in his embrace,
She blushed even more, and her heart pounded faster.
Ouyang Si Qing felt the same way.
