368 Alone (Part 2)
Early the next day, Zhao Zhan brought his entire family to pack up and leave.
Fang Tianliu leaned against the door and sent them off.
Yue Jiaojiao stood next to the carriage and handed Zhao Nian over to Zhao Zhan before turning to look at Fang Tianliu, “I believe that you have seen it as well. Xiangjun needs immediate care and needs someone by her side all the time. I will have to trouble you to take good care of her these few days. Things have already come to this point, so please don’t let anything go wrong.”
Fang Tianliu was stunned for a moment, then he nodded his head slightly. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to be careful.”
When Yue Jiaojiao saw that he had heard her clearly, she turned around and used Zhao Zhan’s help to get into the carriage.
After she left, Fang Tianliu turned to look for Doctor Sun. He had only taken two steps when he stopped. He turned to look in the direction of the backyard, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around.
The weather was too cold and Li Xiangjun never came out to take a walk. She stayed in the house with a lit charcoal brazier all day.
Her body was not as healthy as it used to be, and she was now very afraid of the cold.
Fang Tianliu looked at the tightly shut door and knocked on it.
No one responded. His eyes tightened, and he knocked twice more.
There was still no response.
“Miss Li?”
Fang Tianliu shouted. He waited for a while, but he didn’t hear any movement from inside, so he pushed the door open and went in.
“Li Xiangjun?”
The room was dark. Fang Tianliu used the light from the door to pull the curtains open. Li Xiangjun, who was curled up on the bed, snorted and opened her eyes in a daze. She saw Fang Tianliu, who was standing by the bed and looking down at her.
“When did you come in?” Li Xiangjun subconsciously pulled the blanket over herself and looked at the open door in a daze. “What time is it?”
Fang Tianliu was at a loss for words when he heard her question. Today, Zhao Zhan and the others had set off early for Huai County, and the sun had just risen.
“I never expected Miss Li to be a lazy riser now. It’s already dawn, but you’re still not awake. You must have married into a rich family in Jiangnan and lived many good days.”
Fang Tianliu looked at Li Xiangjun’s reddened eyes and felt nervous.
“I was just joking around. Haha. Miss Li, why do you have to take it to heart? Just pretend you didn’t hear me. In fact, I’m not even here right now!”
Li Xiangjun’s body was weak and she was pregnant. In addition to her experience in Jiangnan, her personality had changed into something different from her previous forthright and carefree personality.
Now that she was suddenly disturbed by Fang Tianliu, Li Xiangjun’s words were filled with grievance. “You rushed into my room so early just to mock me?”
