Chapter 175 How long has she been like this?

The door was opened with a 'bang'.

The madam, who had been staying outside and dared not go in, was extremely anxious.

After hearing Lu You's out-of-control screams, he could no longer hold back.

"What...what happened?"

The madam, clutching her handkerchief, saw the woman on the bed with vacant eyes, curled up tightly in a ball, and knew that her illness had relapsed.

Watching the madam skillfully feed Lu You medicine from the cabinet, she noticed the way the madam was handling it.

The fact that the woman with the exquisite and beautiful face was so unguarded when feeding her the medicine clearly indicated that this was not the first time.

Bo Yeyuan's pale lips curved into a straight line, his eyes hiding a worry he himself hadn't noticed.

The madam gently placed Lu You, who had taken the medicine, on the bed and tucked the blanket around her.

Under the influence of the medication, Lu You quickly succumbed to her weakness and began to fall into a deep sleep.

The madam came to the outside of the room and gently closed the door.

However, the very next second after the door closed.

The woman, who should have been fast asleep in bed, opened her fox-like eyes, which were gleaming with moisture.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

*

Outside the attic room.

"How long has she been like this?"

Bo Yeyuan's cold, peach-blossom eyes carried a hint of undeniable authority befitting a superior.

"This old servant doesn't know either. She was in this state when I found her in the alley. The doctor said she had a mental illness."

The madam knelt on the ground, trembling, her clothes gradually soaked with cold sweat.

"But it's been over a year since I last posted anything, why would it suddenly..."

Bo Yeyuan paused, his hand twirling the white jade thumb ring, a flicker of unreadable emotion crossing his eyes.

……

The next day.

The red bed curtains fluttered in the wind, and the soft sunlight streamed in, adding a touch of dreamlike beauty to the ethereal woman on the bed.

Her long, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes fluttered, revealing her fair and delicate skin. Her features were like those of a sculpted jade, so exquisite they seemed to break at a touch; she was a rare beauty, otherworldly.

'Knock knock knock!'

"Enter."

The red veil on Lu You's body had been changed by the maid, and her long, black hair hung down her back, making her appear tall and slender, captivating all who saw her.

She rubbed her slightly aching temples with her fair fingertips and got out of bed.

"Youyou, how are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

The madam placed a bowl of hangover soup on the table.

"It's nothing, I'm sorry to have worried Mom."

Her jade feet were small and exquisite, and the bells attached to them made a crisp sound as she walked.

She slowly took her seat in a red dress, which only made her face appear even paler.

“Youyou, in a few days the palace will hold a welcome banquet to greet the Regent’s victorious return.”

At that time, the two best performers from each of the buildings in the imperial city will be selected to perform songs and dances.

Mom looked left and right, and realized that you and Keyu were the most suitable couple in this building, but...

Every girl in the building knew this was a golden opportunity.

If she were to catch the eye of that royal prince or nobleman, it would be like rising from humble beginnings to become a phoenix.

Then one can completely escape this mortal world and no longer have to entertain guests every day.

Lu You paused, her fingertips turning white, but she remained calm and said, "Mom, you know I don't want to go."

A hint of difficulty flashed across the madam's face. "But...they've specifically asked you to participate..."

Lu You lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time before her bloodless lips uttered a soft sound.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help, Mom."

The madam took a letter from a hidden pocket in her sleeve and placed it on the table.

"This is what Young Master Xing asked his mother to give to you. Open it and take a look."

I heard you guys want to see the male supporting character make a cameo appearance to soothe the female lead's wounded heart?
