Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

Liu Wenying gently pressed Lu Ye down, propped his head up, and carefully fed him water.

Warm water slid over my chapped lips, soothing my burning throat.

He drank very quickly and in the wrong posture; some water spilled from the corners of his lips, flowed down his chin to his neck, and then slid down his chest.

Liu Wenying quickly put down her teacup and took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve.

She wiped the water off his chin, then down his neck to his chest.

My fingertips touched his firm chest, where thick bandages were wrapped around it.

She had seen the condition under the gauze last night when Pei Yaojun cleaned the wound; the flesh was rolled back, and the bone was visible.

Suddenly, Liu Wenying's nose stung, and tears welled up and fell without warning.

One drop, two drops, fell onto the gauze on his chest.

"Wenying, don't cry." Lu Ye struggled to raise his hand and clumsily wiped away her tears.

When she cried, he felt sad too.

Liu Wenying turned her face away, wiped her face haphazardly with her sleeve, and spoke with a thick nasal tone.

"I'm not crying. Don't move around, it's bad for your wound."

The others rushed over after receiving the news that Lu Ye had woken up. It was the first time Lu Ye had ever felt so much concern from so many people.

Xue Bi brought over the medicine that had been warming on the stove overnight.

When it comes to taking the best care of people, no one is more meticulous than Liu Wenying. She fed Lu Ye the herbal medicine.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Liu Wenying wiped the corner of his lips. Seeing his tired face, she smiled and said, "Go to sleep after you finish your medicine. We'll stay here and watch over you."

Lu Ye was about to agree, but then he thought of something and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Liu Wenying leaned closer to hear his weak and faint voice.

"Grandma can't see me, she'll worry..."

Ever since Lu Ye came to the manor to work as a guard, Liu Wenying has asked him to bring Grandma Lu to live with them as well. After all, the manor is so big that it wouldn't be difficult to set up a separate room.

No matter how busy Lu Ye is, he will visit his grandmother every day, talk to her, and massage her legs.

If he doesn't go today, Grandma Lu will definitely worry.

Liu Wenying held his hand, "Don't worry about getting better. I'll go visit Grandma for you."

"Um……"

Lu Ye was relieved after hearing this, and due to excessive blood loss and the effects of the medication, he fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, however, his brows were no longer furrowed, and the corners of his lips even lifted slightly, as if he were having a sweet dream.

Liu Wenying gently withdrew her hand and tucked the blanket around him.

Everyone withdrew from the house.

Liu Wenying took a deep breath, finally able to completely relax. "As long as he wakes up, the critical period is over."

Xue Bi was still shaken. "That arrow was only half an inch away from his heart, and the knife wound went right through his lung. It's a miracle that he was able to come back and wake up."

However, passing the danger period does not mean we can let our guard down.

Liu Wenying said to Xue Bi, "I'll have to trouble you with Lu Ye."

Xue Bi smiled faintly, "It's no trouble at all. We're all from Tanxi Village, after all."

Pei Dingxuan also said, "Now that we have irrefutable evidence, we need to discuss our next steps."

The most important thing now is to make arrangements quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Being anxious and helpless around Lu Ye is truly a betrayal of the evidence he risked his life for.

Liu Wenying nodded; how could she not understand?

The opportunity that Lu Ye risked his life for cannot be wasted.

Everyone dispersed, and Xue Bi returned to the house to take care of Lu Ye.

Liu Wenying also returned to her room.

Jichuan and Luoluo woke up, and Luoluo ate her breakfast of sweet porridge with a spoon.

Liu Wenying breastfed Jichuan, kissed his forehead, and handed him to Granny Tian to hold.

Luo Luo had just finished breakfast and was about to run off to play when Liu Wenying pulled her back and wiped her mouth.

As soon as she let go, Luo Luo ran off and disappeared without a trace.

Ji Chuan was young and would eat and sleep, so Liu Wenying asked Granny Tian to take care of him.

She changed her clothes, and there was still Lu Ye's blood on the cuffs and the skirt.

They took some more tonics from the storeroom and headed to the west side of the estate.

Grandma Lu lived in a secluded wing room on the west side.

The village is large; to get there from the main house, one must pass through a bamboo grove, go around two ponds, and then walk along a bluestone path.

Before the morning dew had dried, glistening water droplets clung to the grass blades, falling softly in the breeze.

The courtyard gate was ajar. Liu Wenying pushed the gate open and went in, where she saw Grandma Lu sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

The old man's eyesight wasn't very good, but his hearing and eyesight were excellent; he looked up as soon as he heard footsteps.

Upon seeing that it was Liu Wenying, she immediately stood up, her face crinkling with a smile.

"The manor lord has arrived!"

She stepped forward and saw what Liu Wenying was holding.

"Oh dear, why did you bring anything? Ye'er and I were able to move in from our old thatched hut thanks to you, how could we possibly take anything from you?"

Liu Wenying placed the things on the stone table and helped her sit down.

"What are you saying, Grandma? Lu Ye has helped a lot too, he deserves it."

Grandma Lu sighed, took Liu Wenying's hand, and rubbed the back of her hand with her rough palm.

"It's a pity my silly child isn't lucky. The master has already had a child, I've met him, he's so adorable, and the master's husband is also a handsome man... My wild child really can't compare."

Liu Wenying didn't expect Grandma Lu to bring this up suddenly.

"Grandma, don't say that. Lu Ye is a good person. He's agile, reliable, and filial to you. All the guards in the manor respect him."

Grandma Lu's eyes lit up.

"Does the master mean my Ye'er still has a chance?"

Liu Wenying almost choked on her saliva, coughing until her face turned red.

Grandma Lu quickly patted her back.

"Oh dear, look at my mouth. I'm old and can't speak in a roundabout way."

My wild child is indeed a bit rough, but he has a good heart and is very strong. He'll eat anything you give him, he's not picky at all, and he's very easy to raise..."

She got more and more excited as she talked, as if she were selling a puppy that was easy to raise, obedient, capable, and only needed to be fed.

Liu Wenying couldn't help but interrupt, "Grandma."

Grandma Lu then calmed down a bit, but her cloudy eyes still shone brightly as she stared at her.

"Master, I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt that it wasn't easy for you, a woman, to raise a child and manage such a large estate."

"No matter how capable a woman is in this world, she is bound to be bullied. My Ye'er may be clumsy, but he is very strong. If anyone dares to bully you, he will be the first to rush up to them."

Liu Wenying felt a pang of sadness. She could sense how Lu Ye treated her without Grandma Lu having to say it.

He could have stayed out of the mess, but he was willing to impersonate a Northern Di spy and deal with Xiao Chenlin, putting himself in a life-or-death situation to survive...

My nose tingled, and my eyes welled up with tears.

Liu Wenying quickly lowered her head and pretended to straighten her sleeves.

"Grandma, Lu Ye is fine, really..."

Fearing that the elderly woman wouldn't take the supplements, Liu Wenying stayed at Grandma Lu's place for almost a whole day.

As the sun began to set, Liu Wenying returned home.

"Grandma, just tell me what you need, and I'll have someone bring it over."

Grandma Lu also got up to see her off. When she reached the door, the old woman swallowed hard, looking like she wanted to say something but was hesitant to speak.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Master, tell me honestly, has something happened to Ye'er?"
