"Miss Xi, eat slower. Be careful not to burn them."
Feng De said.
Shi Xiaonian ignored him and used all her strength to feed her mouth with some porridge. After continuously swallowing a few mouthfuls, she felt a wave of nausea rush up, "Uuu."
A wave of bitterness surged out from her throat.She had been on hunger strike for so many days that it was extremely difficult for her to eat again, so she ate and vomited.
"How are you feeling?" Feng De immediately walked to her side and asked worriedly."Am I unable to eat?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De in despair.
She had heard that once a person who went on a hunger strike died for too many days, even the hope of reigniting their life would not be able to continue living, because they would no longer be able to eat.She couldn't die, not yet.
Feng De stood in front of her and gently held her hand. He placed his fingers on her pulse and furrowed his brows slightly, "Miss Xi, your body is too weak, but it has not reached the point where the medicinal pills are devoid of spirit, so you need to slow down a little."
"Really?"
I'm not lying to her.
"Really." Feng De nodded, and pushed the bowl to his, "Try again, slow down, don't be impatient.""Alright."
Shi Xiaonian's breath was erratic, she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of water, slowly putting it on her lips and drank it down.
She must eat.
Gong Ou was a petty person. If she were to walk in front of him, he would definitely scold her again, and abandon him."Miss Xi, it's enough if you are willing to eat." Feng De sat down beside her and looked at her with gratitude, "Now that Gong Jia has handed over all the matters on this island to me, you can stay here for a few days to recuperate. After that, I'll send you off."
Shi Xiaonian slowly drank the porridge, looked up at him, and shook her head, "I'm not going. Housekeeper Feng, Gong Ou might not be dead yet.""What?"
Feng De was stunned.
This death was something she had said. Even if she hadn't died, she had still said it.
"Mu Qianchu came back to find me tonight. He was the one who said it. Shi Xiaonian said weakly.
Feng De frowned, "Do you believe what he said?"
"I'd rather believe it."At least, that was a huge hope for her.
"That's true. If we believe him, there's still a little motivation." Feng De looked at her and said, "But Miss Xi, you have to leave. I am the young master's butler, and before I am certain that the young master will pass away, the Gong Jia will not do anything to me. "But you're different. The old master's wife never really liked you, so it's very likely that they'll take advantage of the young master's absence to …"
If they really wanted to deal with me, it would be easy. I already have nothing left, unlike when Mu Qianchu left and still had the authority of the Xi Family to start over. Shi Xiaonian drank her porridge and said softly.Rather than fleeing for her life, she would rather stay with Feng De and look for Gong Ou.
By the time Gong Ou returned, her everything would be back.
"But …""Housekeeper Feng, look at my body. Even if I have to run for my life, I won't be able to hold on for long." Shi Xiaonian looked at him with a determined gaze, "I want to stay."
Feng De had known Shi Xiaonian for a long time, and knew that although she looked weak, deep down, she was an extremely thoughtful person.
He could only nod.
From now on, let him take the place of the young master to protect this weak girl.
Under Feng De's care, Shi Xiaonian's body recovered bit by bit. When her body started falling again, it grew back really slowly.
She was getting more and more afraid of the cold, and always had to wear a lot of clothes to be comfortable.In the end, Mu Qianchu still ran away.
What awaited him was the endless investigation carried out by the Gong Jia, as well as the prosperity of the Xi Family.
It had nothing to do with her whether he was good or bad.
Shi Xiaonian would completely take away her life.
At night, Shi Xiaonian was wearing a thick shawl as she leaned against the door and looked up at the lanterns above him. The lanterns were not put down;
The night wind was chilly."The business on the island has been completed. The search has been completed. This island was left to you by your mother in her will. After the war, it was no longer so beautiful. I'm sorry. "
Feng De stood behind her and said. He was a very British Gentleman Steward, he always took all the crimes that had nothing to do with him.
"From the moment I set foot on this island, it was no longer beautiful."
Shi Xiaonian said lightly.
If she hadn't followed Mu Qianchu back to recognize him as her master back then, then everything wouldn't have happened.
"Miss Xi, some of the Mu Family's subordinates that we captured have to move them. One of Mu Qianchu's trusted aides wants to see you before he leaves." Feng De said, "It's that man with a scar on his forehead."
"He wants to see me?"
"Yes, we've interrogated him about where the core of the Xi Family is and where Mu Qianchu is. No matter what, he never spoke, and only said that he wanted to meet you once."
Feng De said.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De in shock.Eyebrow-scar Doctor, why does he want to see her?
Ten minutes later, Shi Xiaonian saw Eyebrow-scar Doctor and was escorted to the beach. The lights of the yacht beside the ocean were all on, waiting for them to leave and to find a place to continue interrogating him.
Eyebrow-scar Doctor's hands and feet were cuffed and held down. His clothes were all messed up and he looked extremely pathetic. He had his head lowered, looking just like a prisoner.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards him against the cold night wind."I still remember that he is quite skilled. I had always wanted to fight him head on, but who would have thought that he would actually be the accomplice of the tiger." Feng De walked behind Shi Xiaonian and sighed.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Eyebrow-scar Doctor, yes, he had also saved her before, helped her before.
At that time, when Gong Ou ordered his bodyguards to surround her, it was him who saved her with a dagger, one against ten.
When he thought about it, he felt like he was in a dream.
"Don't kill him." Shi Xiaonian heard her own low voice ring out, "He's only following orders."He really listened to Mu Qianchu's words.
Otherwise, he could have just left her that day. With his abilities, it would have been easy for him to escape, but he was forcefully dragged by her to such a state just for an order.
"I'll think of something."
Feng De nodded.Shi Xiaonian walked towards Eyebrow-scar Doctor and stood in front of him, quietly looking at him. Her voice was carried away by the night wind, "Are you looking for me?"
The wind by the sea was especially strong.
He stood there miserably with several bloody wounds on his face. The wind was so strong that it hurt to look at it.
Hearing that, Eyebrow-scar Doctor slowly raised his head. There was an obvious scar on his forehead, and he nodded with difficulty.
"What are you trying to say?" Shi Xiaonian asked with an indifferent voice, "Do you want me to help you out so that you can get free?"
She couldn't think of any reason why Eyebrow-scar Doctor would look for her at this time."Did the Young Master Mu really escape? If he doesn't take you away, how can he be willing? "
His voice was weak as he asked this question, but there was no trace of the extremely skilled expression on his face.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in surprise, she never thought that he would still be thinking about Mu Qianchu.
"He can't take me with him because I stabbed him with a knife. He can't take me with him, so he can only leave." Shi Xiaonian said honestly, "I have already broken off all ties with him, it has nothing to do with me whether he is dead or alive."
She no longer resented it.Hate required strength as well.
"What?" The Eyebrow-scar Doctor shook and looked at Shi Xiaonian in astonishment, then his eyes dimmed, "So that's how it is."
"You still care about your master? Don't you hate him for not coming to save you?" Feng De stood at the side and asked, "If you are willing to hand over Mu Qianchu's location or the core of the Xi Family, I can grant you your freedom."
Eyebrow-scar Doctor stood there, not moving at all.
After a long while, he closed his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaonian, "Eldest Miss, I have accompanied Young Master Mu beside him for a long time, I might be more clear than you on what kind of person he is."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him indifferently."In the eyes of the young miss, the Young Master Mu has done many things to hurt you." Eyebrow-scar Doctor was heavily injured, and said with some difficulty, "But First Miss, you can never deny, in terms of relationship, that you owe Young Master Mu."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian turned around."Young Master Mu's eye disease recurs, he's about to lose his sight."
Eyebrow-scar Doctor said.
"…" Shi Xiaonian turned her head and looked at him in shock, "What did you say?"
What do you mean going blind?"Young Master Mu is such a gentle and stubborn man. He had always been good to you and never thought of taking from you. When you hated him, why didn't you think about why he suddenly changed and got so close to you?" "It's because he's about to become completely blind. He knows that the moment he goes blind, it's impossible for him to defeat Gong Ou, much less stay with you.
Shi Xiaonian listened in a daze. In the darkness of the night, her face turned pale white.
Mu Qianchu was going blind.
Once his eye disease recurs, he will go completely blind.
"Why didn't he tell me?" Shi Xiaonian asked in a daze.
"Because he doesn't want your sympathy. He just wants your love." The Eyebrow-scar Doctor said bitterly, "But obviously, the Young Master Mu is too stupid, he failed his last fight."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian stood there, speechless.
"Congratulations young miss, you have finally gotten your revenge."
Eyebrow-scar Doctor laughed bitterly, "So what if Xi Family is rich and prosperous? In the future, Young Master Mu will spend his entire life in the darkness and experience your hatred and determination everyday. This is a torture that is more painful than death. Oh, right, he had already expected this outcome, but he still had to do it. It was really stupid. It didn't seem like he was fighting, but instead, it seemed like he was completely giving up. Are you right? "
"Enough." Feng De looked at Shi Xiaonian's pale face and stopped the doctor from continuing, "Take him to the boat, let's go."
"Yes, Housekeeper Feng."
Eyebrow-scar Doctor was taken away.
Shi Xiaonian stood by the seaside, facing the chilly sea breeze, unable to warm her under any of the clothes. She only felt extremely cold.
She looked at the sea under the night sky. Her eyes were sore, but she could not shed a single tear.
He had long guessed this outcome, but he still had to do it. It was really stupid, he didn't seem like he was fighting, but instead, it seemed like he was completely giving up.
