If he really cared about etiquette and rules, he might as well do it every night like before.
Why had the acupuncture session been changed to the morning as soon as the third session was over?
Wasnât this deliberately giving Little Miss Yu a chance to take advantage of the
situation?
If he really cared about his clothes, wouldnât it be fine if he didnât let anyone into the residence?
If a thin blanket covered his body, wouldnât his clothes not be messy?
Could he hide the fact that he was only wearing a pair of pants?
Little Miss Yu was already sitting in the room. Wasnât it a little too late to say that his clothes were disheveled?
Wasnât this deliberately baiting the âfishâ?
In the past two years, Uncle Sun had watched helplessly as Yin Huaixi dug one pit after another like today, waiting for Little Miss Yu to jump in.
Old Sun had lived for most of his life, but he had never seen such a sinister and shameless person.
Why did Little Miss Yu, who was usually quite smart, become a fool in front of her âcousinâ?
The girl that was raised well was already being influenced by Yin Huaixi. She could forget about escaping for the rest of her life. This unlucky child.
Uncle Sun glanced at Yu Youyao with an indescribable expression.
Yu Youyaoâs attention was all on her cousin, so how could she see Uncle Sun? âI just want to see how Uncle Sun treats Cousinâs leg. Cousinâs health is more important. As for etiquette, there are always exceptions to everything. Besides, isnât Uncle Sun here too? Youâre an elder. It doesnât matter if thereâs an elder by his side.â
In her heart, there was nothing more important than her cousinâs recovery.
Her cousin was being treated specially. Even if it was a little inappropriate, it was not a big deal, so there was no need to be too calculative.
Besides, her cousin was not an outsider. She did not need those rules in front of him.
Her cousin had also said that the people in the North were more valiant and did not care about small details. Although there were also older daughters who were more wary, as long as a woman respected herself, it was acceptable for her to show her face.
Although she was not born in the North, her cousin was born and raised in the North.
She often heard her cousin mention the customs of the people in the North, and she took them to heart. As time passed, she naturally did not feel as restrained as in the capital.
Yu Youyao, who had been brainwashed by the North, did not think that there was anything wrong with this.
Oh my, she now treated him as an elder?!
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes. Which elder would let an unmarried girl share a
room with a man in disheveled clothes?
At this moment, he was even wearing a thin blanket. When the blanket was lifted later!
That would damage her reputation.
If a womanâs reputation was damaged, she could still live. If her reputation was ruined, she would only die.
Even so, Little Miss Yu was not afraid.
Zhou Linghuai seemed to hesitate. âIt will be harmful to Cousinâs reputation.â At this point, he pursed his lips slightly and advised, âReputation is really important to a woman. Cousin, itâs better for you to avoid me.â
There it was again. Uncle Sun couldnât even be bothered to roll his eyes at the tea-scented words.
At the mention of âfameâ, Yu Youyao more or less had some reservations and was a little hesitant.
She wondered if she should retreat to the outer room and wait. Although she couldnât see Uncle Sun treat her cousinâs leg with her own eyes, she still felt a little regretful.
However, she was in the outer room and could know the situation in the residence at any time.
Seeing her hesitation, Zhou Linghuai continued to persuade her, âAlthough the treatment of the internal acupuncture is more painful, this is already the fourth treatment. Iâm used to performing acupuncture every day, so Iâm not as uncomfortable as before. Cousin, donât worry too much. Why donât you wait outside? The acupuncture will be over in about the time it takes to burn three incense sticks.â
Hearing her cousinâs âpersuasionâ, not only was Yu Youyao not really relieved, but she was even more worried.
Previously, she had heard from Uncle Sun that the treatment of the internal acupuncture was very painful. She could most likely guess that the more serious her cousinâs leg illness was, the more painful the treatment process would be. That was why she had been worried.
Now that she heard her cousin say casuallyâ
He was saying comforting words like he wasâused to itâ, it was ânot so uncomfortableâ, and she did not have âto worry too much.â
Yu Youyaoâs heart ached. Her eyes welled up, and her nose felt sore. Tears almost rushed out of her eyes.
She blinked hard before forcing her eyes back. She couldnât care less about reputation. Yu Youyao held her cousinâs hand and said firmly, âCousin, Iâll accompany you.
Her voice trembled slightly, and her tone was a little hoarse.
She should have been with her cousin long ago
Now it was Zhou Linghuaiâs turn to hesitate.
Yu Youyao looked at her cousin and said unquestionably, âUncle Sun is the only one in the room. He wonât spread it around. No one knows if it will damage myy reputation. Besides, Iâm just worried about Cousinâs health. I didnât really do anything to ruin his reputation. The innocent will know whatâs good for them. I know what Iâm doing.â
Oh, in Little Miss Yuâs eyes, he was the only âoutsiderâ!
Uncle Sun was helpless. He couldnât help but look up and roll his eyes at Zhou Linghuai. Didnât his conscience hurt after lying to a little girl like this?
What a
Uncle Sun did not know that Zhou Linghuaiâs conscience did not hurt.
However, Yu Youyaoâs conscience really hurt.
She regretted not caring about men and women and letting her cousin suffer alone.
âYou.â Zhou Linghuai couldnât dissuade her, so he nodded helplessly and agreed. âForget it. If you want to stay, stay. There are still three treatment sessions later. You canât feel at ease without me letting you watch from the side.â
Uncle Sun gritted his teeth at his dignified words. Seeing that the âcousinsâ had reached a consensus, he lifted the thin blanket on Zhou Linghuai.
This unexpected action shocked Yu Youyao. As soon as she saw the thin blanket rise, she closed her eyes in shock. Even her long swan neck shrank.
Uncle Sun was amused when he saw this. She looked like a quail that had shrunk its head.
To think that he had thought that this Little Miss Yu did not even care about her reputation for her cousin. How bold was she? He did not expect her to be so shocked.
Zhou Linghuai couldnât help but laugh. He didnât care if she closed her eyes or not.
After closing her eyes, Yu Youyao realized that she had overreacted. Since her cousin had asked her to stay, he definitely wouldnât be wearing nothing.
She quietly opened her right eye a crack and saw that her cousin was wrapped in a lot of white cotton cloth.
At this moment, Uncle Sun was helping his cousin remove the cotton cloth on his body.
Yu Youyaoâs eyes widened in curiosity when she saw the black brace bandaged under the cotton cloth.
Uncle Sun took off the alchemy braces one by one. There was red skin under them..
