In Winter Garden, the supporting female lead, Bai Xiangxiu, was anxiously waiting for a response. It couldn't be helped. This was the first time in two lifetimes that she had confessed to a man, so it was inevitable that she would be nervous.
Because she was so nervous, she couldn't eat or sleep well.
Actually, she was a rather calm person in the modern era, but she had completely changed after coming to the ancient era. She often felt irritable for no reason.
She couldn't be blamed for this. Who told her to not be familiar with this world, and there was always the risk of being beaten to death?
After waiting for a few days, she was more or less able to help with the matters of the estate.
The old madame was quite satisfied, and Long Heng had also come to her place twice, but he had only sat for a while before leaving. He hadn't done anything overboard.
What was the male lead thinking? The last time he came, he deliberately told her that he had found the female lead, Miss Lin's cousin, and that he had been beaten quite badly.
Actually, she felt quite relieved, because that man had caused her to suffer very serious injuries.
He deserved to be beaten, and it would be best if he was beaten to the point that even his mother couldn't recognize him.
But why was the male lead telling her this? Could it be that he knew that Miss Lin had gone to her room before leaving?
Her entire body trembled. The male lead was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Could it be that this was the reason why he had come to her place to find out more about the female lead? But strangely, he had never asked her about it.
Lying on the bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The night was cold, and she actually caught a cold as she tossed and turned.
The next day, her throat hurt. At this time, she received a box of food from the Song family.
There was a return gift inside, and when she opened it, it was a box of pastries.
Bai Xiangxiu was extremely excited. Had she finally gotten a response?
She hurriedly wiped her hands, pinched one, and ate it.
"Madame Xiu, don't eat it so quickly. These are pastries, and they should be accompanied by tea."
As Xiao Shi spoke, she poured Bai Xiangxiu a cup of tea. But when she turned her head, she saw that Madame Xiu was staring blankly at the pastries on the table, tears falling from her eyes. Her expression was somewhat lonely and sad …
"Madame Xiu, what's wrong?" Xiao Shi was startled and hastily ran over to ask.
At this time, Bai Xiangxiu's heart was in a mess. She had failed twice in her first confession. She had failed completely.
In the future, don't think that the supporting male lead will be able to save you. The desserts he sends are heartless.
She did not give up and opened all the desserts, but they were all empty.
She really didn't have a heart. She blocked a knife for him and did so many things. In the end, even if she had a beautiful face, she still couldn't seduce the supporting male lead.
In the future, he would have to rely on himself to survive in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.
However, it seemed that he had to reconsider how to curry favor and which one to curry favor with.
In an instant, too many thoughts rushed into her mind, and she felt her mind go blank. Coupled with Xiao Shi's shout, she couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Xiao Shi jumped in fright and hurriedly shouted outside, "Ye-mama, Ye-mama, quickly go find a doctor. Madame Xiu has fainted."
Ye-mama was also startled. Was Madame Xiu's body made of paper? She had just climbed out of bed a few days ago, yet she had fainted again?
However, she still hurriedly went to find a doctor.
Regardless of how worried the Prince was about Madame Xiu, she sent someone to inform him.
At this time, Song Jiaoyue was chatting with Long Heng. As he drank tea, he said absent-mindedly, "Ji Zhangshu is currently thinking of a way to find that group of bandits. You have to be careful not to let him find any evidence."
"Even the jianghu people can't find a single trace of the people I've carefully arranged. Just that idiot?" Long Heng laughed coldly. That coldness made Song Jiaoyue shiver all over.
If he didn't change his personality, which woman would be able to endure it?
She didn't know how that delicate and weak woman would react today.
Just as he was thinking, an old servant came in from outside and said, "Prince, there's a servant outside saying that Madame Xiu suddenly fainted. We don't know why."
Song Jiaoyue's hand trembled, and half of the tea spilled out. The back of his hand was scalded red, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.
He only felt a slight pain in his heart. He sat there, unsure of how to react.
Long Heng had already walked out. As he walked, he asked, "Did you find a doctor to take a look at her?"
"We've already found one, but we don't know the reason yet," the old servant replied.
Song Jiaoyue hesitated for a moment, but still followed him. However, he was afraid that Long Heng would misunderstand, so he said, "It must be caused by an old injury. It's my fault."
Long Heng thought that he was feeling guilty and let him follow. However, he couldn't go in when they reached the outside. He could only wait outside.
Long Heng walked in confidently. In the end, he saw a floor full of pastries and Bai Xiangxiu lying on the bed, still unconscious.
Her face was very pale, but her expression was abnormally calm. Even though she was asleep, it was as if she didn't have any life left in her.
He felt a wave of anxiety and hurriedly walked over to gently touch her face. Only when he found that she was still breathing did he sigh in relief.
When the doctor arrived, he was given a fright by Prince's expression and hurriedly took Madame Xiu's pulse.
He then furrowed his brows and said, "Madame fainted because the wind entered her body and she was overthinking things. She'll wake up after taking medicine and resting."
When Long Heng heard that she was overthinking things, he said to Xiao Shi, "Has something been bothering Madame Bai recently?" Could it be that his mother had given her too many things to do?
Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "No … no, Madame Xiu hasn't had anything on her mind these past few days." She really did seem to have something on her mind, but she didn't tell them.
Long Heng furrowed his brows. He suddenly thought of how Madame Bai's reaction had been a bit strange when he mentioned Ji Zhangshu to her. It was as if she was waiting for him to ask her something. Even when he was about to leave, she still sent him off in a daze.
Could it be that she had guessed that he knew everything and was afraid that he would ask her about it? But she couldn't tell him, so she was overthinking things?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He inwardly blamed himself for being careless. In the future, he would definitely not bring up such a mess in front of her.
The doctor prescribed medicine and Xiao Shi went to boil it.
Long Heng had Shu 'er go inform Song Jiaoyue of her situation while he sat in the room to watch over her.
Because she was asleep, he wasn't so reserved and could approach her as he pleased.
He had never thought about getting close to a woman like this. This was the first time.
As for Song Jiaoyue, his thoughts were different from Long Heng's. When would she not feel dizzy? Why did it have to be after eating a piece of dessert?
He heard that she even cried. Didn't that mean …
He had no reason to continue standing outside Winter Garden, so he could only return to the Song family as if he had lost his soul.
He drank quite a bit of wine that night and even acted like a drunkard.
Madame Song was worried and asked, "How did you take care of the young master? Why did he drink so much wine?"
Song Jiaoyue pulled on his mother and said with a bitter smile, "I let her down. I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it. If you don't believe me, feel it."
Madame Song frowned. When had she ever seen her son act like this?
His life had been smooth-sailing since he was young and had never acted like this.
She said, "Who said my son didn't mean it? My son has a heart. Don't be crazy. Go sleep for a while and you'll be fine."
Song Jiaoyue refused to listen and said, "How could I have a heart? Where is my heart? Don't lie to me … haha … the one who has a heart is her, it's her …" He laughed loudly, then fell to the ground and didn't get up.
Madame Song asked the servant, but he didn't know what had happened. She only thought that he was unhappy and drank too much.
However, when Song Jiaoyue found out the next day, he broke out in a cold sweat.
It was fine if he went crazy, but if he accidentally revealed what had happened to her, how would the world view her? How would the Prince view her?
In the future, he probably couldn't drink this kind of wine anymore.
