Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Chapter 317

The sudden arrival of Wei Yu and Wang Tu kept the Li family busy.

After the two of them took a long shower, dinner was served.

Sang Moyun was worried about Wei Yu's condition, so she hurriedly went home to have dinner with her mother, and then went to the Li family again.

At the dinner table, the men of the Li family stared in disbelief as Wang Tu and Wei Yu wolfed down most of the dishes on the table.

Qi Ji ate slowly while subtly observing Wei Yu and Wang Tu.

Earlier, when the two were taking a big bath, he went in and did a quick check on them.

Apart from some lingering ailments on Wang Tu that are difficult to cure, both of them are remarkably strong.

If the two had begged their way back, there were no signs of them being emaciated from hunger.

What puzzled Qi Ji even more was that Wei Yu's head injury was indeed troublesome. However, it wouldn't be enough to make him mentally impaired.

Perhaps Wei Yu and his companion harbor some secrets that compel them to appear before the Li family in this manner.

Well then, Qi Ji thought, let him, the doctor who is trying to win back his wife, help these two out.

After the meal, Qi Ji carefully examined Wei Yu and the other person from head to toe again, and then wrote down a lot of prescriptions.

This time, Qi Ji returned to the prefectural city but did not visit any of the city's clinics. However, for the sake of the two men's health, Qi Ji still took Xiao Gang and entered the city overnight.

Looking at Wei Yu, who was holding her hand tightly, Li Xiaonuan felt extremely distressed.

Originally, she only came out of concern to ask about Wei Yu and the other person's situation in the outer courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yu held onto her hand and wouldn't let go.

Even now, Wei Yu was so sleepy that his head was almost hitting the table.

"Second Young Master, why don't you go inside and rest? I'll have someone accompany you. You can sleep in a comfortable bed tonight, aren't you happy?" Li Xiaonuan coaxed gently.

"My wife will sleep with me," Wei Yu said, his eyes still blurry, as if in a daze.

Li Xiaonuan's brow twitched, and she couldn't help but pull her hand away forcefully. She said fiercely to Wei Yu, "Second Young Master, if you don't listen to me, I'll kick you out and never talk to you again."

Wei Yu woke up instantly, staring at Li Xiaonuan with his big, wet eyes, looking as innocent as could be.

If Qi Ji hadn't examined Wei Yu beforehand and said that he had indeed injured his head and affected his mental state, Li Xiaonuan would have suspected that Wei Yu was deliberately playing a trick on her.

"Go inside and go to sleep right now, or you're out of here. Do you understand?" Li Xiaonuan looked into Wei Yu's eyes and felt a sense of being deceived, so she said angrily.

"Wife~" Wei Yu drawled aggrievedly, then said softly like a little wife, "I'll listen to my wife, please don't kick me out."

In this way, Li Xiaonuan was able to get away and returned to the inner courtyard with great unease. She said a few words to the elders of the Li family and then went back to her own courtyard.

In the main hall, the elders of the Li family were also discussing Wei Yu's matter.

“Who would have thought that such a handsome man would turn out like this? I think even Doctor Qi probably can’t cure him,” Madam Li said softly.

Xiao Yan sat blankly next to Li Shi, completely lost in thought. She didn't even hear Li Shi telling her to go and rest in Li Xiaonuan's courtyard.

Seeing that the old lady and Su were both frowning and thinking hard, Chen said, "Even if the second young master Wei is stupid, he still sticks to our Xiao Nuan. It can be seen that he liked our Xiao Nuan before. I just don't know what our Xiao Nuan thinks."

"What does she think? She wouldn't think the same way you do. If you have time to talk nonsense, you might as well take Xiao Zheng downstairs to sleep. Xiao Zheng is so sleepy he can barely keep his eyes open, didn't you see?" The old lady glared at Chen Shi and said unhappily.

Chen glanced at Xiao Zheng, who was already leaning against Xiao Gang, and said to Xiao Gang with a smile, "Xiao Gang, our Xiao Zheng likes you. Why don't you help Aunt Wu take care of Xiao Zheng for the night?"

Xiao Gang wrinkled his chubby face and said, "I share a bed with Yi Lou, but Yi Lou is noisy in her sleep and kicks people. Fifth Aunt, are you sure you don't mind Xiao Zheng sleeping with me?"

Speaking of Yilou, Madam Chen became somewhat indignant: "Sister-in-law, why do you bring just anyone into your home? Take Yilou for example, I see you treat him better than Xiaogang. If you ask me, you should let him go outside and live with those farmhands."

Without even glancing at him, Madam Su said, "Yi Lou is our family's savior. Without him, we wouldn't exist. What's wrong with us being nice to him? Fifth Aunt, you should take Xiao Zheng downstairs to rest. I think you're just too sleepy to think straight."

When the Li family brought Yilou back, they had already formally introduced her to everyone. Madam Su didn't believe Madam Chen didn't remember.

Seeing that it was getting late, the old lady told everyone to go down and rest.

As for the front yard, Xiao Yang will take care of it alone.

Since Sang Moyun moved away, the courtyard where she used to live has been empty. Xiao Gang also moved to the backyard, living in the room next to the Su couple.

Of the four uncles, three were assigned to live in the side courtyard, and the other lived in the west wing of the back courtyard.

Before going to bed, Xiao Gang thought he should go to the front yard to see how Qi Ji was helping Wei Yu and Wang Tu prepare and apply the medicine.

When they arrived at the outer room of the east house in the front yard, Xiao Gang vaguely heard Wei Yu say something about the situation changing, and that some remnants of the army had infiltrated, including Chu Lin and so on.

In short, it was intermittent, incomplete, and unclear.

As soon as Xiao Gang swaggered in, the conversation inside stopped. Xiao Gang saw Wei Yu lying on the bed, muttering incoherently, his head covered in silver needles.

"Master, what did Young Master Wei say? I just heard him say he was protecting my sister. Are you hiding something from us?" Xiao began to suspect Wei Yu on the bed.

"You misheard," Qi Ji said expressionlessly, inserting the last needle. "You've come at the right time. Keep a close watch on Wei Yu for me. I'll go help that Captain Wang remove the needles." Wang Tu had managed to become a captain.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang pouted and said, "Master, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? That Captain Wang doesn't need anyone to guard him, so why does Young Master Wei need someone to watch over him?"

Qi Ji packed up his medicine box, picked it up and walked out, saying as he went, "Wei Yu is an idiot, so he has to be guarded. But Lieutenant Wang isn't an idiot."

When Qi Ji said this, Wei Yu, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly frowned.

Xiao Gang pouted and sat down impatiently in the chair that Qi Ji had been sitting in before, saying, "Master, hurry back, I'm so sleepy."

Qi Ji closed the door, a slight smile unconsciously appearing on her lips, but it was quickly overshadowed by the worry in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaonuan was tossing and turning in bed, feeling that Wei Yu and the other person's appearance was suspicious.

However, Li Xiaonuan couldn't understand why these two would appear in this way, especially at the most critical moment of the border battle.

Unable to figure it out, Li Xiaonuan stopped thinking about it. However, she still felt that she had overlooked something, and a strange feeling settled in her heart.

Filled with doubt, Li Xiaonuan gradually fell asleep.

The next day was another sunny day. Today was the day Li Xiaonuan was hosting a banquet for the wives of officials in the city who had dealings with her family, to enjoy the scenery and have a barbecue at Juleyuan Park.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaonuan, without bothering to inquire about Wei Yu and the other person, took her men and headed to Juleyuan.
